Age of Rebirth

Chapter 650 stalemate

This night attack was surprisingly smooth. When Ma Chaoyang led his troops to the high ground on both sides of the second line of defense, the hilltops that were originally lush with trees were blown up by Japanese artillery fire into a bare and gentle slope. Dirt and gravel were poured straight into the shoes, and Ma Chaoyang was worried. If the soldier accidentally kicked a stone, the sound would be very clear at night, alarming the Japanese sentries. volley.

Thrilling, Ma Chaoyang, who climbed the mountain, looked down the valley, and had a panoramic view of everything. There were countless tents filling the valley, and a few sentries were lazily moving back and forth. Several piles of tents were about to burn The bonfire was exhausted, and there was still a dim red light, and there was a lot of snoring in the tent, which made people feel like they had entered a pigsty.

Ma Chaoyang waved his hand, and the more than 400 mortars he led were lined up. The gunners were nervously correcting their targets. Ma Chaoyang looked at the luminous watch. It took only more than 40 minutes from the base to the target. The troops should also be in place, why there is still no movement, he was secretly anxious, and suddenly, on the opposite hillside, an unobtrusive little red dot appeared, shaking the circle rapidly.

Ma Chaoyang was overjoyed that these old guys were not slow in their actions, and ordered the correspondent to return the signal, "Attention all, five rounds in a hurry," he ordered in a low voice, and the high ground on both wings fired almost at the same time. On both sides of the cliff, dazzling bolides rose. In just a few minutes, nearly 75 mortar shells suddenly hit the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping soundly. This is the flagship product of the Huangyadong Arsenal. A [-]mm caliber mountain cannon. [

The valley was on fire at that time, and several half-naked figures ran wildly in the flames of the explosion. The tent was overturned and ignited. Nearly [-] shots landed in the small valley, almost covering the entire area. After entering the campsite of the Japanese army, the densely packed Japanese soldiers had no time to escape in their sleep. The lethality can be imagined. Many Japanese soldiers went to see their Amaterasu god in their sleep.

Ma Chaoyang looked at his watch, exactly 6 minutes later, he licked his lips unsatisfied, and gave the order to retreat, just like a kind of torrential rain, coming and going suddenly, when he realized what was going on, he was already drenched to the ground. The second line of defense in Huangyadong was stationed by the 11th Brigade of the No. [-] Division of the Kwantung Army's Southward Corps. At this moment, the division commander of the Japanese army felt as if he had been doused by the rainstorm, and his heart was cold. Everything happened so suddenly.

When the commander of the Japanese division came back, the entire camp had been engulfed in flames. Fortunately, only the camp of the 10th Brigade was suddenly bombarded. He immediately commanded the troops to fight back. The guns and guns poured onto the high ground on both sides. They fought for [-] minutes. The Japanese soldiers in the brigade rushed up to the high ground with shouts. Except for the new pits everywhere, there was not even a single person. The strange thing is that the Japanese artillery did not fire. .

When the Japanese army fired wildly at the highlands on the two wings, the troops participating in the attack had already withdrawn one kilometer away. The sound of gunfire regardless of the number seemed to see them off. It took 32 minutes. The chief of staff overestimated the little devil's individual quality and reaction speed. If he brought a few more cannons, it would be more enjoyable to keep them. Ma Chaoyang didn't fire a few more cannons for the troops, but Annoyed unceasingly, the heart is full of regrets.

The entire valley became a huge ambulance field. The wounded Japanese soldiers with missing arms and legs and covered in blood were crying and wailing on the ground. Japanese soldiers who were still in shock ran around. Under the reprimand of the commander, they began to clean up the scene. Rescuing the wounded and confining the corpses, the commander of the Japanese division drew out his command knife, circling furiously. He wanted to kill, but who could kill?The head of the Japanese division, who couldn't even find anything to vent to, was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, his face was as ugly as a dead fish.

At dawn, the loss statistics came out. Major General Nakajima, the head of the 90.00th Brigade, was killed. His Ninth Wing, because it was in the key area of ​​the Chinese army's sneak attack, most of the artillery, let the unlucky Ninth Wing suffer. , the casualties of the entire alliance exceeded 4000% five, and the total casualties exceeded more than [-] people. The number of the ninth alliance can be cancelled.

Especially His Excellency Nakajima, the head of the [-]th Brigade, whose tent was hit directly by several shells, and could not even bury the body of His Excellency the Major General. A collar with a gold star, and the rest, to dust.

Looking at the numbers of casualties and losses in his hand, the commander of the Japanese Army division felt his heart tightening, his hands trembling slightly. The shelling in less than 10 minutes had caused such a large loss. , The opponent didn't even leave a single wounded person. What kind of army is this? It's as terrifying as a devil.

Dare not hide anything, the commander is still waiting for the result, the division commander of the Japanese army didn't even find a scapegoat, and the brigade commander Yu Nakajima, who was directly responsible, was broken. After careful investigation, his own responsibility was even greater. The chief of staff reminded him last night that the troops should not be camped too concentratedly, and that a large number of security troops should be deployed on the high ground on both sides, but he scoffed at the words of the chief of staff.

The generals of the North China Dispatch Army are all cowards. After two devastating bombardments in succession, the Chinese troops dare to come out at night?It was too late for them to escape. The Chinese troops who dared to launch an attack on the Kwantung Army hadn't appeared yet. Even sarcasm and sarcasm, with guns and sticks, made the chief of staff of the [-]th Division blush and feel uncomfortable.

After the Kwantung Army entered the pass, he was transferred from the former North China Dispatch Army. He had just arrived, and he was not in harmony with the division commander. His original unit suffered from the loss of the independent division. Your Excellency is arrogant, arrogant, not speculative, more than half a sentence, what should be said, I hope I will be fine tonight, but I always feel unsafe, so I simply ran out of the coffin as an excuse to check the supply troops canyon.

I didn't even touch a single hair, looking at the dejected and defeated rooster-like boss, looking at the corpses and messy camp, the awe of the Kwantung Army troops in my heart suddenly decreased a lot. For the No. 11 Division with more than 4000 people, the casualties were more than [-], which was just a slight injury to the skin, not to mention a bone injury, but this breath was really hard to swallow, and there was no strength to fight back. For the famous Kwantung Army, this is a great shame and humiliation.

Thinking of Commander Neiji Okamura's radiant triangular eyes, elusive character, and ruthless methods, the head of the Japanese army's division shuddered in his heart. We went to see Neiji Okamura together. As expected, after reading the casualty report, His Excellency the Commander stared at him coldly, and the commander of the Japanese division felt that two cold, greasy snakes were swimming. walk the whole body.

Neiji Okamura resisted the urge to cut off the head of this idiot. After all, he was the commander of the Lieutenant General. Neiji Okamura knew everything about it. He suppressed his anger and announced an order, No. The head of the 11th division was dismissed for investigation, and the chief of staff of the division took over as the head of the division. Two military policemen came over, unceremoniously took off the ribbon on the head of the division, and armed them with guns across their shoulders, escorting them out.

Taking advantage of Ma Chaoyang and the others, they successfully withdrew to the core position. Hearing the sound of gunshots behind him, Ma Chaoyang was so happy. The soldiers around him were excitedly talking about the battle just now. The soldier showed off to his companions: "Did you see that, the ten grenades on my body are gone, and I gave them to the little devil while I was in the gap!" Many soldiers slapped their thighs and regretted it. Why are they so stupid? Just thinking about cannons, what are you doing with the grenade on your back? It would be nice to give it to the little devil.

The joyful emotions of the soldiers made Ma Chaoyang's heart feel a lot more relaxed. With the sound of the first cannon just now, it was as if a door opened in his heart. The pain brought about by the loss of the first regiment followed the cannon and flew out. Chang Feng, the chief of staff, was waiting eagerly. He shook hands with every soldier participating in the battle, conveying their joyful mood to each other.

Chang Feng looked at every hazy smiling face in the dark night, and no one was injured. This was the first victory under the siege of the Japanese army. With these soldiers, Huangya Cave would never fall into the hands of the Japanese army. Chang Feng firmly believed in this point, and this was just the beginning, so he called a meeting immediately, and the little devil suffered a big loss, and he will definitely take revenge tomorrow.

Everyone agrees that Chang Feng has made a new deployment of the defense. Each firepower point is equipped with 25 fighters, among whom there must be three snipers, who are dedicated to knocking out the commanders of the Japanese army. They are equipped with light and heavy machine guns and rifles, and a large number of grenades and explosives. Pay attention to the firepower coordination among the firepower points. In addition, several main firepower points are equipped with two anti-tank guns to deal with armored vehicles that may be used by the Japanese army.

When the Japanese army shelled, pay attention to protecting yourself, so they beat the little devil's infantry, asking for only one, don't spare the medicine, use grenades and explosives, blow up a sea of ​​​​fire on the route of the Japanese army's attack, and the morning light is exposed in the sky. The meeting has not yet ended, the Japanese army The heavy artillery began to roar, three hours earlier than yesterday's shelling time. It seems that the old devil Ningji Okamura was hurt last night. He just saw the target and couldn't wait to do it. Today's The shelling will be more brutal. [

Neiji Okamura was really angry. He suffered heavy casualties and even lost two lines of defense. The independent division unit dared to struggle to the death. He ordered the heavy artillery to bombard all the targets that could be seen, and destroyed everything in Huangyadong. It was blown to pieces, and after two hours of shelling, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the Japanese soldiers of the brigade rushed forward, howling and swarming.

The bayonet flashed a cold white light in the twilight of dawn. The Japanese soldiers who were beaten up by the attack last night, stepping on the mud that was still hot on their feet, ran across the valley like yellow water, and rushed to the front of the third line of defense. There was no sound of returning fire, and the Japanese soldiers became excited and accelerated their charge.
