Boom Boom Boom ......"

Artillery rang out, and thunder sounded behind the offensive positions of the garrison.

Immediately after, the cannonballs swept over everyone's heads with a screaming sound of "woo-woo-woo...... and smashed accurately halfway up the mountain.

The flames splashed in all directions, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and clouds of thick black smoke rose into the air under the reflection of the firelight, soaring into the sky, instantly enveloping the Japanese puppet army position halfway up the mountainside.

It was only at this time that the explosion of "booming ......" reached Li Hao's ears, and the ground under his feet trembled twice.

The power of the huge explosion can definitely be described in four words: earth-shattering.

"Sir, it's a heavy artillery group, and the Eighth Route Army has dispatched heavy artillery." A lieutenant squadron leader rushed into the command headquarters in a panic and reported.

The captain's face also became solemn.

It is closer to the halfway up the mountain, and from the lookout, you can clearly feel the heat wave from the explosion of the shells rushing towards you, and you can observe it more clearly.

The moment the shell exploded, the earth, the logs...... He can see the pictures of being blown up together.

replied with a calm face: "The Eighth Route Army dispatched at least one heavy artillery brigade. ”

The subordinate immediately said: "Our permanent fire point can withstand the continuous shelling of ordinary mountain artillery, but it cannot withstand this kind of large-caliber heavy artillery." ”

"If the Eighth Route Army, which is attacking us, has enough ammunition, the stronghold will definitely be very dangerous."

"Humble advice, report to command immediately and ask for reinforcements."

"If we're lucky, we can still flank inside and outside, kill or severely damage the Eighth Route Army that attacked us."

The captain slowly showed an expression of approval: "Signal soldier, contact the command immediately, I want to talk to His Excellency the commander on the phone." ”

At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the commander was woken up by the chief of staff in his sleep.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something happened at the front!"

"One of the strongholds of our blockade garrison was attacked."

The military commander scolded with dissatisfaction: "Bage Yalu, do you still need to alarm the military department for such a small matter?" What does the front-line commander do, if the garrison regiment attacks, it will be repulsed. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the military department has given several orders on this point."

"Before the start of the sweep, all units must not act rashly, and the garrison regiment will be blocked."

"Do they take all the orders of the military department as wind in their ears?"

The chief of staff took the plunge and explained: "This is not an ordinary offensive. ”

"The Gongzhen stronghold reported that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, dispatched at least one heavy artillery battalion, and the offensive was very fierce."

"Judging from our humble duties, it must be that we have established a no-man's land, and the method of consuming a large amount of their food through the old and weak women and children has worked, and the garrison group sees that the situation is not good, and wants to break the situation while the no-man's land has not been built."

"Nani?" The commander couldn't sit still, got up from the bed with a rub, stared at the chief of staff and asked.

"Confirm that the Eighth Route Army dispatched heavy artillery, not flying thunder artillery."

"The Eighth Route Army often used flying thunder cannons to pretend to be heavy artillery, so that we could mistakenly believe that we were being attacked by heavy artillery, so as to achieve the purpose of confusing us."

The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "Definitely heavy artillery!" ”

"I answered the phone number of Gongzhen's stronghold and confirmed it with their commander in person."

"Go to Command!" The commander rushed out of the room with a military coat draped.

Walking into the war room, the location of Gong Zhen's stronghold had been marked on the sand table, and the army commander found it at a glance, pointing to the no-man's land on the sand table and analyzing.

"Chief of Staff, your analysis is not unreasonable."

"It must be that the garrison group sees that the situation is not good, and wants to take the stronghold of Gongzhen, and then use this as a breakthrough to destroy the no-man's land we are building."

The chief of staff replied: "The commander is wise. ”

"The front-line commander suggested that we take the opportunity to send troops to reinforce the Gongzhen stronghold, flank the inside and outside, and take the opportunity to destroy the attacking troops of the garrison regiment, at least inflict heavy losses on them."

"The lowly office agrees with this idea."

"This is a piece of fat that the garrison group took the initiative to deliver to our doorstep, and the opportunity is rare, so we don't eat it for nothing."

The commander didn't speak, his eyes stared at the sand table and continued, his expression became more and more serious, and he didn't know how long it took, so he suddenly shook his head and refused.

"No way!"

"The garrison is too cunning."

"Even if their heavy artillery battalion is really in the Gongzhen stronghold, their main force may not be there."

"We've eaten enough of their losses to divert the tiger from the mountain, and no one knows if they are repeating their old tricks again tonight."

"Or maybe it's a plan for us to make a noise......"

"The original battle plan remains unchanged, and we must not be in a hurry to deal with a cunning opponent like the garrison regiment, and only by fighting steadily and steadily can we avoid accidents and ensure that we win this battle."

The proposal was rejected, and the chief of staff did not show the slightest expression of disappointment on his face, but was very happy.

I was too anxious, and when I heard that I could attack inside and outside, I didn't think much about it, so I showed an expression of approval at that time.

They were completely unaware of the huge risks that could be hidden behind this operation.

As the old saying goes, the greater the results, the greater the risks taken in the operation.

The Imperial Army has suffered enough losses in this regard, and it must not continue to turn its heels on the same matter without any growth.

As soon as the army commander analyzed, he also felt that the garrison group's attack on Gongzhen's stronghold was not as simple as it seemed.

Immediately agreed: "The commander is wise! ”

"Just now, we didn't think about it, we really can't rashly send reinforcements to Gong Zhen, if we don't do it, we will lose our wife and soldiers, and pay even greater losses."

The army commander stopped talking nonsense and ordered directly: "Connect the Gongzhen stronghold immediately, and I will personally talk to their commander on the phone." ”

After the Japanese army headquarters in Gongzhen finished talking to the commander, the captain was nervous, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

The squadron leader stood by with an anxious expression.

The shelling of the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment continued, and news had just been received that two machine-gun bunkers had been completely destroyed halfway up the mountain, and one had lost contact.

Not surprisingly, the soldiers guarding inside were either shocked to death or knocked unconscious.

If the war continues in this direction, the stronghold will definitely be in jeopardy.

So he was anxious to need a letter from above, whether there were any reinforcements from the Gongzhen stronghold tonight.

The captain didn't give him a chance to speak, put down the microphone, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and began to give orders.

"Your Excellency the Army Commander judges: Tonight's battle is likely to be a plan by the Eighth Route Army to divert the tiger from the mountain, and once the nearby strongholds send troops, we will be fooled. Therefore, there will not be a reinforcement to reinforce us tonight, and we must rely on our own strength to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and hold the stronghold. ”

"I just promised His Excellency the commander that we will be able to hold the stronghold until dawn, and I hope that you can complete this task with me, do you have confidence."

"Hey!" After a brief moment of shock, several subordinates of the command shouted in unison.
