The 12th Counterattack on Goan (5)

Just as the artillery brigade of the Suzuki Wing began to fire, the opportunity that Hou Dashan had been waiting for finally arrived.

Hou Dashan had already sent several artillery observation posts to quietly hide near the Japanese army's Gao'an county seat, and was observing the Japanese army's artillery brigade to show its hideous face.

The second observation post finally discovered the location of the Japanese artillery brigade. This artillery brigade was well hidden, just east of the county seat of Gao'an, and was covered with a layer of nets, and some green plants were inserted on the nets, so that nothing could be seen from the outside.

But when the artillery brigade fired a cannon, the net was uncovered, and from those artillery bunkers, a string of shells was sent out. At that time, there were no walkie-talkies, and there was no way to set up telephones, so the second observation post used a flag to inform the back: "The angle is 46 degrees, the elevation angle is 50 degrees, test firing." ”

The observation post only calculated an angle and elevation angle roughly according to the difference in level, and after the artillery test fire, the angle was constantly adjusted before it could hit the target.

Hou Dashan was able to see his own observation post, but unfortunately, the Japanese army also saw the Chinese observation post, and several mortar shells hit it and blew it up.

At this time, Hou Dashan's howitzer also fired a few shells. Fell a few hundred meters to the right of the enemy's artillery brigade.

Li Xiaowu of the third observation post is an 18-year-old new soldier of the 32nd Army who has just joined the army, and there are only two people at this observation post, the squad leader and him, who are wearing ordinary people's clothes and secretly infiltrating this bush.

When the second observation post was blown flat, they saw it. Li Xiaowu's heart trembled, the second observation post was his comrade-in-arms, and he was talking and laughing when he was about to intersperse, but at this moment, it was already yin and yang, and he would never see each other again.

The squad leader scolded him: "Look at your bear-like, I haven't seen a dead person!" It's our turn. ”

The squad leader quickly picked up two small flags, one red and one yellow, stood up straight, and corrected the direction of shooting with flags to the artillerymen behind him in a standard military posture.

Suddenly, a Type 38 bullet was fired from the direction of the Japanese army, and with a "horn hook-" sound, the squad leader fell. Li Xiaowu hugged the squad leader in horror and shouted loudly: "Squad leader-squad leader-"

The bullet almost pierced the squad leader's heart, and red blood gushed out from his chest, Li Xiaowu hurriedly plugged a first-aid gauze, didn't care at all, and plugged another one, or didn't care about anything. Before he died, the squad leader's eyes widened, and he moved his hand and raised the small flag in his hand.

At the third observation post, Li Xiaowu was left alone.

Li Xiaowu felt very frightened, what should I do, what should I do? I haven't done a mission on my own. The squad leader was already dead, and he looked at the squad leader again, and the squad leader didn't close his eyes until he died, and he was still holding the small flag in his hand.

Squad leader, can I carry out the task alone, he asked the squad leader?

The squad leader's eyes widened, as if to say, you can, you can perform the task alone. I'm looking at you, and the officers and soldiers of the whole division are looking at you!

Li Xiaowu trembled and pulled the small flag from the squad leader's hand, stood up tremblingly, he saw that the sky was very blue, the earth was very green, and only sporadic gunshots passed by.

Li Xiaowu used the knowledge of the flag language he had learned, stood crookedly, and typed out the approximate meaning in the flag language: "250 meters to the left, rapid shooting-"

Several mortar shells from the Japanese army came over, and Li Xiaowu felt a red halo rise in the sky, a red halo that he had never seen before, dyeing the blue sky red. The earth churned, and a stream of hot red magma poured out from under the ground, and the green earth was dyed red. Everything has changed, and it has become weird.

He looked at the squad leader again and wanted to report, report to the squad leader, I completed the task.

He saw that the squad leader smiled, seemed to praise him a few words, and then closed his eyes easily. In the past few days as a soldier, he has never been praised by the squad leader.

But today, the squad leader praised him.

He was shrouded in a blush again, and everything was so full, and he smiled......

At this time, from Hou Dashan's howitzer position, dozens of shells flew over, unbiased and unoblique, hitting the position of the Japanese artillery brigade. "Boom--" "Boom-" Shells roared, shrapnel flew sideways, fire and smoke everywhere, and the enemy's artillery brigade turned into a sea of fire.

The enemy's 12 75-mm mountain guns were overturned at once, the shell parts were blown to pieces, and the artillerymen suffered heavy casualties. In particular, the Japanese artillery shells were still exploded, causing another explosion, and the artillerymen who were not killed by the Chinese army were now killed by their own shells.

"Boom--" "Boom-Boom-" The Japanese position became a hell on earth, shell fragments were everywhere, huge shock waves were hitting human bodies, the air on which they depended was instantly taken away by the high-temperature flames, and the choking smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, everywhere was death, death, death......

The 139th Regiment of the 417th Division of the Chinese Army took advantage of the lack of artillery support from the enemy on Shigu Ridge and slaughtered them on the mountain. To tell the truth, China has never lacked people who dare to die, but because the weapons are too far from the Japanese army, they have repeatedly failed to gain the upper hand.

This time it was reversed, the Japanese army did not have the support of heavy artillery, but the 417th Regiment had the support of the infantry artillery behind, and they rushed to the top of the mountain.

At this time, Nakano Daisa was still standing in Shiguling, and there were 3 wounded soldiers on his left and right, who had almost lost the ability to resist, and could only hold their guns and couldn't move forward.

Nakano Osa couldn't stand up anymore, he had long lost sensation in his right leg, and he could only barely support his body with a command knife.

Li Zhaoying, commander of the 139th Division, led dozens of Chinese soldiers to run over and said to Nakano Daisa: "Put down your weapons, as long as you put down your weapons." The Chinese army can guarantee the safety of your life! ”

Nakano Osa shook his head, snorted his nose and said: "The Japanese army is invincible, and Japanese soldiers can only die in battle, not surrender!" ”

Li Zhaoying also snorted with his nose: "It's really a granite head, someone who would rather take a granite head to see God." onβ€”"

Several Chinese soldiers rushed forward and were about to forcibly surrender Nakano's weapons. Nakano Osa suddenly thundered into a rage, supported his body with one leg, and raised his command knife with both hands. The moment he raised his command knife, he felt his body lose his balance and tilt it over.

At the same time, several bullets also hit him in the body. Nakano Osa kicked his leg on the ground a few times and lost the characteristics of life.

Several wounded Japanese soldiers around him were also forcibly disarmed by Chinese soldiers.

Although the mountain was occupied, Li Zhaoying did not feel the slightest sense of joy. One battalion of the 417th Regiment suffered almost no casualties, and the other two battalions also suffered heavy losses.

In particular, the remaining officers and men of the first battalion were angry, and they took the corpses of Japanese soldiers out of anger, poked a few times here, stabbed a few times there, and some Japanese corpses were stripped of their clothes, some had their heads cut off, and some had to be stripped out of their hearts.

Li Zhaoying gave a loud order: "It is not allowed to mistreat the corpses of Japanese soldiers, otherwise, military law will be involved." They are also soldiers, and they have to be given some dignity when they die. When you bury the corpses, bury them too! ”

The military order was like a mountain, and this stopped the abuse of corpses.

The flag of the national army was planted on Shigu Ridge.

Han Xing and Shang Zhen, who were commanding the battle on the front line, of course saw the banner on Shiguling, and the Japanese artillery was also dumb, and of course they knew that the Japanese artillery brigade should be wiped out.

Shang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Commander Han, your plan to lure the snake out of the hole has succeeded, and we have also occupied Shiguling, and the Japanese artillery is almost over." What's next? ”

"Of course it's a beating of the reservoir dogs." Han Xing said excitedly.

"Okay," Shang Zhen said happily. "Let's beat the water dogs."

Han Xing just nodded, and of course Shang Zhen knew what was going on. When the official is in the position of army commander, how to fight the battle and how to say it, he has become a fine, how can he not know what Han Xing means.

Shang Zhen immediately said to his staff officer: "Call the 139th Division and attack Gao'an County with all your might." ”

"Yes!" The staff officer agreed, and went to carry out the order.

After receiving the order, Li Zhaoying immediately personally led the 422nd and 433rd regiments across the Jinjiang River and launched a fierce attack on Gao'an County.

At this time, Gao'an County had become an isolated city, losing the barrier of Shiguling, losing the cover of the artillery brigade, and opening its gate.

The 422nd Regiment and the 433rd Regiment, recuperating and recuperating, were outnumbered, and they attacked under the gate of Gao'an County at once. At this time, a special situation appeared, and more than 20 Japanese light combat vehicles Type 94 ultra-light tanks lined up and suddenly blocked the front of Gao'an County.

The Type 94 was successfully developed in 1934 by the Tokyo Gas and Electric Industries Company (the predecessor of today's Hino Motor Co., Ltd.). Type 94 is so small that it can even be described as pitiful. Its dimensions are 3.12 m long, 1.60 m wide, and 1.62 m high.

The Type 94 fighting compartment was located at the rear of the hull, with a turret in the upper part, and its main armament was a 7.7 mm machine gun, with a few vehicles equipped with 37 mm guns. The occupants are 2 people, and there are hatches for the commander and driver, and a rear door is opened at the rear of the car to facilitate the occupants to get on and off the car and communicate with the towed vehicle. The thickness of the armor was 12 mm.

Don't look at these small vehicles, but they have caused a lot of trouble to the 422nd and 433rd regiments.

The two regiments had no artillery, and rifle bullets could not penetrate the steel plates of the light tank. So these vehicles are extremely powerful.

Soldiers with medium-sized rifles or Hanyang-made rifles fell in front of the 7.7mm machine guns in rows, the front and rear ones fell, and the ones behind continued to rush forward.

The artillery on the light tank began to exert its power, and these 37 mm guns were not very powerful in normal times, but they were more than enough to deal with the soldiers attacking on the flat ground.

Rows and rows of soldiers fell again under enemy fire.
