"But what should we do with the orders of His Excellency Rear Admiral Miyano?" Riehisa Ezaki said out loud.

Daisuke Kotani thought about it, after all, Taro Miyano was the chief of staff of the First Army, and he was in a high position. Taro Miyano's urgent call has already arrived, and if he receives it at this time, he must follow Taro Miyano's order.

But fortunately, there is nothing, just to strengthen the vigilance, so Kotani Daisuke waved his hand and smiled: "Then according to General Miyano's order, strengthen the defense of Heikakane!" By the way, has the latest batch of military supplies shipped to the Hengshan front line been shipped? Did you have any conditions on the way? ”。

After throwing away the telegram handed over by Riehisa Ezaki, Daisuke Kotani asked Riehisa Ezaki.

Ezaki Rihisa said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the latest batch of supply and transportation squadrons transported to the Hengshan front line has set off, and there is no guerrilla attack of the Eighth Route Army on the road for the time being. The county seat of Lingqiu has regained the control of the Imperial forces, where it is guarded by the 500-strong Imperial Association Army and the Imperial Army, guarding the Guanshui coast at all times. There are also mountain roads from the county seat to Pingxingguan, and in addition, our previous army has carried out a dragnet sweep in this area, so there are no guerrillas for the time being. ”。

"Yo Xi!"

Kotani Daisuke nodded and said: "It's good that there is nothing to do, order all the soldiers, strengthen the vigilance, and there are now 20,000 grains, grass and ammunition needed by the imperial army in the pass." If something happens, you and I will be uncomfortable, and Your Excellency the Commander will not spare you and me at that time! ”。

"Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo, don't worry! The place where the ammunition is stored is at least covered with sheltered bunkers, and there are our guard posts in the direction of both sides of the Pingxing Pass, so that if you find a guerrilla force appearing, you can go out to clear it. ”

Daisuke Kotani froze a few times when he heard this, and then he lay down on the chair of the temporary headquarters and squinted his eyes and fell asleep. The weather is cold, or there is a brazier in the headquarters to bake the fire, and the temperature inside is warm, which is the most comfortable and enjoyable.

Ezaki Rihisa did other things, but at this time, what the two old devils didn't know was that just when they thought that Pingxingguan would not encounter a sneak attack by the enemy, at this time, Li Yunlong and others had already led the army to a mountain less than a mile south of Pingxingguan.

On the top of an unknown mountain, there were already people on it at this time.

I saw that Wang Chengzhu, the captain of the artillery of the new regiment, was deploying an artillery position on this hill at this time. Under the command of Wang Chengzhu, more than 100 artillery soldiers assembled the four Type 92 infantry guns in their hands, as well as 23 80-millimeter mortars, and constantly erected and adjusted the shelling parameters.

Five or six minutes later, Wang Chengzhu walked up to Li Yunlong quickly, stood up and saluted: "Report to the regiment commander, the artillery team has adjusted the shelling parameters, and the target has been completely locked. Judging from the results obtained by Duan Peng's reconnaissance and the situation we obtained when we entered the pass when we raided Pingxing Pass, we have basically locked the shelling range. It is guaranteed that in the first round, at least half of the grain, grass and ammunition stored in Pingxingguan will be blown up. Please instruct the regimental commander! ”。

"Good!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, then picked up the telescope in his hand and looked at it for a while, then waved his hand and gave the artillery order: "Without further ado, pillar, up hard!" After the explosion, Yoshio Shinozuka will be miserable! ”。

"Understood, regimental commander, I promise to complete the mission."

Wang Chengzhu grinned, then turned back to the artillery position.

I saw Wang Chengzhu return to the back of the artillery position, picked up the telescope in his hand and observed the situation in the Pingxing Pass, and then raised the small pennant in his right hand and slashed down, "The target is in the Pingxing Pass, the Japanese supply warehouse is heavy, the distance is six hundred and thirty meters, to the left zero zero three, the height plus two, all mortars, four Type 92 infantry guns, give me a fight!" ”。

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!! ”

With Wang Chengzhu's order, I saw that all the artillery soldiers filled the mortar shells in their hands into the barrel and exploded fiercely. The artillery soldier in charge of the four Type 92 infantry guns pulled the cannon rope fiercely, and after the primer burned, he pushed the shell out of the barrel fiercely.

I saw that in an instant, one after another cannonballs whistled through the sky, carrying the snow and bombarding the Pingxing Pass.

At this time, Daisuke Kotani, the captain of the Japanese garrison team who protected the grain, grass, ammunition and materials in the Pingxing Pass, was squinting and sleeping at this time. It's just the sound of cannonballs whistling from afar in the sky, which instantly frightened Daisuke Kotani and the chief staff officer of the brigade who was in charge of the headquarters without sleeping, and they all woke up one after another.

"Baga Ya Road, it's not good, the enemy is attacking! Hurry up and drip, hide! ”

Daisuke Kotani jumped up from the chair for the first time, and in less than a few seconds, he shouted sharply to the staff chief officer Riezaki Rihisa who was not far away.

At this time, Ezaki Rihisa also heard the sound of cannonballs whizzing from the south in the distance, and he was terrified for a moment.

It's just that Ezaki Rihisa was frightened and bitter in his heart, and he heard the sound of cannonballs whistling, and he knew it very clearly, indicating that it was too late at this time.

Sure enough, soon the loud explosions continued to explode in the Pingxing Pass, and shells falling from the sky exploded everywhere. Bursts of snow were lifted from the ground, and a very misty snow was scattered in it.

The sudden artillery shells continued to fall and explode, directly exploding the patrol in the Pingxing Pass, and the Japanese soldiers standing guard on the wall suffered heavy casualties one by one. Everywhere there were wails, miserable.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency Shaozuo, the enemy has focused on the heavy shelling of the warehouse where grain, grass and ammunition are stored in the pass!"

In the Japanese military headquarters in Kannai, the old devil Kotani Daisuke ordered the chief of staff Egasaki Rihisa to hurry out to command the troops to counterattack, and at this time, a Japanese staff officer quickly ran in from outside the door and reported to Kotani Daisuke.

"Nani? Not good! The Chinese army is going to blow up the front-line supplies of my 20,000 imperial army! Once the grain, grass, ammunition and other supplies in the warehouse in the customs are blown up, Your Excellency the Commander must not skin me alive! Hurry up and send someone to protect the warehouse! Why are you stunned, go quickly! Otani Daisuke yelled anxiously and ordered some of the bewildered Japanese staff officers to go out.

The Japanese staff officer came back to his senses and said anxiously: "Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。

It's just that the Japanese staff officers can't go out, and suddenly the door of Daisuke Kotani's headquarters was broken by the huge martyrdom shock wave, and the windows and panes of the headquarters were broken.

Daisuke Kotani was stunned on the spot by the shock wave of the martyrdom, and it was not until a few minutes later that the Japanese staff officer found Daisuke Kotani in the ruins and said urgently: "Your Excellency, the place where ammunition is stored in the warehouse in the Kannai was hit by a large number of enemy shells, causing the shells to explode. All the food and ammunition in the vicinity have been blown up! ”。
