Chapter 474: The Offensive Begins
Zhangjialing.
In order to boost the morale of the army, Peng Chuheng once again came to the front line in person, commanding the troops to build fortifications, in order to prevent artillery, he did not stupidly put the forward position on the top of the mountain, but placed it halfway up the mountain.
At that time, he was holding a telescope to observe the situation down the mountain.
Through the vision of the telescope, Peng Chuheng saw that on the winding road below the mountain, the devil military trucks dragging and towing artillery were really roaring towards the foot of the mountain.
Everywhere he passed, the dust was flying, like a yellow dragon rolling.
Peng Chuheng knew that it would not be long before these artillery pieces were in place, and it would be time for the Japanese army to attack.
Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but be a little more ugly.
At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly ran over in a hurry with a translated telegram: "Report! Division, Tiger Ben Regiment Emergency Electricity? ”
"Tiger Ben Regiment Emergency?" Peng Chuheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say above?" ”
The communication soldier said respectfully: "Regiment Commander Yang Jingyang said that in two hours at the latest, the Tiger Regiment will be able to arrive in Zhangjialing, please be sure to hold your position!" ”
"What? The Tiger Ben Regiment is in the territory of Xiushui? ”
Not only Peng Chuheng, but even He Yunxiao, the chief of staff next to him, also showed a shocked expression.
Peng Chuheng also joked before that whether they can break out of the encirclement depends on whether the Tiger Bentuan is repairing the water.
Unexpectedly, this joke would come true.
The signal soldier replied again: "Regiment Commander Yang only said in the telegram that the division must hold its position, and the Huben Regiment will arrive at Zhangjialing within two hours."
At the same time, he also said, don't reveal this news, including the military seat and the general seat! ”
"Yes!" Peng Chuheng was overjoyed and said: "The Tiger Ben Regiment must have returned to Hunan by repairing the water!" It's really heaven and soul with my 11th division."
He Yunxiao was puzzled: "Didn't the Tiger Ben Regiment report that they were going to break through in the direction of Xianning?"
In this way, is there no suspicion of lying about the military situation? ”
Peng Chuheng said: "Lao He, I think you are smart and confused for a while!"
How can the Tiger Regiment lie about the military situation? This is to fool little Japan, so as to repair the plank road and darken Chen Cang! ”
He Yunxiao can become the chief of staff of the 11th Division, naturally he is not a person with wine bags and rice bags, hearing Peng Chuheng make such a little bit, he immediately reacted and said: "Yes! Within the party-state, there must be many Japanese spies lurking!
Only by deceiving your own people first can you hide little Japan!
High! It's so high!
It is no coincidence and luck that the Tiger Ben Regiment can achieve proud results again and again! ”
"Of course!" Peng Chuheng added: "Our war zone continues to increase troops in the direction of Xianning, and invisibly, it makes the little devils have the illusion that the Tiger Ben Regiment will break through to Xianning!"
And Yang Jing didn't let us report this news, it was precisely because of this consideration! ”
After saying this, Peng Chuheng's momentum changed suddenly, he turned his head to look at Adjutant Liao next to him, and shouted: "Adjutant Liao, immediately pass on the news that the Tiger Ben Regiment is about to rush to Zhangjialing!" ”
"Yes!"
Adjutant Liao suddenly agreed, and immediately took a few heralds to deliver the news to every corner of the position.
The low morale of the officers and men of the 11th Division was suddenly completely ignited like gasoline meeting sparks.
Despair can make people fearless.
Hope, on the other hand, can allow people to fully burst out all their potential.
……
In order to eliminate the remnants of the 11th Division above Zhangjialing, Major General Shigeichi Hata, the head of the Japanese Hatian detachment, personally came to Zhangjialing.
At this time, the old devil was on a small dirt bag two kilometers away, holding a telescope to observe the situation above.
Yu Nakamura, who was next to him, bowed down and introduced: "Your Excellency Detachment Leader, the main force of the 11th Division of the Chinese Army has been completely besieged by the imperial army on Zhangjialing, two kilometers ahead, and it is impossible to escape!"
As soon as the positions of the Imperial Field Artillery Wing are constructed, we can immediately launch an attack and destroy them in one fell swoop! ”
"Hmm!"
Ha Tian nodded for a while, then showed a slightly dissatisfied expression, and said: "It's a pity that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army did not break through from Xiushui, so we missed an opportunity to make meritorious contributions!" ”
After a pause, Hakata Shigeichi said again: "However, the 11th Division is also one of the elite units of the Chinese Army, and its elimination is also very beneficial to the next strategic situation of the empire!" ”
The reason why this old devil is so inflated is not completely targetless.
Because, with the assistance of the naval fleet, the Botian detachment led by him, as the vanguard of the Hankou Raid, first attacked Anqing, then captured Madang and occupied Jiujiang, and along the way cut through the passes, defeated several times the enemy from the front, and finally broke through the Banbishan fortress and was the first to open the gateway to Wuhan.
After the Battle of Wuhan, Shigeichi Harata even received news that the base camp was considering promoting his military rank and rank.
In history, after the Zhang Gufeng incident, this old devil was appointed as the commander of the lieutenant general division of the 19th Division, and such news is by no means groundless.
This old devil is proud of his achievements, and it is completely reasonable.
Half an hour later, the artillery positions of the Japanese Hatada detachment were constructed.
With the order of Hakata Shigeichi, more than 30 artillery pieces of various calibers were fired one after another.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
The shells fell one after another, and the hill shook the ground and shook the ground, and the flames were everywhere.
Countless mountains, rocks, plants and trees were scattered in all directions by the shock wave generated by the explosion.
Fortunately, there were shrubs on top of Zhangjialing, and the 11th Division did not stay on the top of the mountain.
These shrubs, like anti-aircraft nets, greatly weakened the power of the shells.
Therefore, the shelling of the devils seemed to be violent, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the casualties caused to the 11th Division were not large.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
The bombardment of the devils continued, and the deafening sound of artillery reached into the sky.
The surrounding birds and beasts were frightened and fled as fast as they could.
Fortunately, Japan is a small country with resources, and it is impossible for the Habata detachment to waste shells wantonly.
After a few rounds of bombardment.
Shigeichi Harata immediately stopped the shelling, and immediately said to Yu Nakamura beside him: "Nakamura-kun, prepare to attack!" ”
"Hayi!"
Yu Nakamura paused, then turned around and came to the foot of Zhangjialing Mountain as fast as possible, in front of the Japanese army's sortie position.
Then he violently pulled out the saber at his waist, swung it forward, and roared hoarsely: "Warriors of the Empire, attack!" Sortie! ”
"Kill the chicken!"
"Kill the chicken and give it! ——”
Thousands of devil soldiers immediately rushed towards the top of Zhangjialing Mountain with rifles with bayonets in their hands.
"Tubu!"
"Bump Bump! ——”
When the attacking troops were still about 200 meters away from the forward troops of the 11th Division, the machine gunners behind pulled the trigger one after another.
The dense bullets, like a shower, suddenly rained over the cluster of devils who were still charging, and poured towards the mountainside to cover the past.
