Neither Zhao Dayong nor Zhou He expected that the first to attack the Okamoto brigade was Zang Hao.

It has been a few months since Zang Hao was captured, because he was a prisoner and his appearance and body shape were relatively special, so everyone was not very acceptable to him at the beginning, and there were even some soldiers who deliberately made things difficult.

But after a long time, everyone slowly discovered that Zang Hao was not as bad as he imagined, but a little cute.

His only hobby is to eat, he responds very enthusiastically when someone talks to him, he doesn't feel lonely and lonely when no one pays attention to him, he makes some corn soybeans and soybeans to grind into flour, and sometimes he can add some white flour, but the steamed steamed buns taste much better than those made by the cooking class.

If you can add a little more sugar, Zang Hao will be happy like a child, and he will take two bites as a snack when he has nothing to do.

Although he knew his performance outside Jilin City, Liu Cheng never had the opportunity to contact him, and then simply forgot about it.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zang Hao this time, it's really hard to say what the situation would be in this battle, at least the casualties would be much greater than now.

The people sent by Zhao Dayong went to find Duan Jinghe first, and only after obtaining his consent did they go to inform Zang Hao.

After hearing this, Zang Hao just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Although Zhao Dayong and Zhou He have been on guard against the Okamoto Brigade on the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain, they have always been concerned about the battle on the southern slope.

They also knew the news that Zang Hao had knocked out the two artillery positions of the 18th Division and the 39th Division, so Zhao Dayong specially explained to Duan Jinghe that he wanted Zang Hao to use the 100mm howitzer to support.

When the three squadrons sent by Kusaburo Okamoto were still about ten miles away from Phoenix Mountain, the person in charge of this operation, Subee Hironojin, ordered the team to stop and rest in place.

Because once the battle began, it was impossible for these soldiers to eat and rest for a short time.

Suwasa Hironosumu is the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the Okamoto Brigade, with the rank of Junior Zo.

Generally speaking, there are very few Japanese officers with the rank of Junior Commander who are only squadron leaders, and Subee Hironojin was already a squadron leader when he was a lieutenant, and he was unusually promoted to the deputy captain of a Japanese brigade when he was a captain.

However, half a year ago, Sube Hironoki lost his temper after drinking at the W safe place of the Japanese army, and was hit by the wing commander, so he was punished and demoted, and was transferred to the first squadron of the Okamoto Brigade as a squadron leader.

Subee Hironojin was very capable in combat command, and once led his troops to participate in the Battle of Jiangqiao after 918, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop and laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Jiangqiao.

Kusaburo Okamoto was well aware of Suwase's abilities, so he put him in charge of commanding the battle.

Sube Hironojin was not blindly arrogant, on the contrary, he had been cautious since he led the team to leave the temporary station of Okamoto's brigade, and constantly sent people to reconnoiter near Phoenix Mountain; At the same time, he also kept an eye on the offensive situation of the 18th and 39th Divisions.

When the team was resting, Subee Hironojin called the squadron leaders of the other two squadrons to the front, pointed to the north slope of Phoenix Mountain and said to the two:

"Ten minutes later, we approached the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain in three directions at the same time, and four 75-mm mountain guns remained in place and stood by, and when we approached the foot of the mountain, we bombarded the northern slope to cover the infantry charge.

The team on the hill would definitely not be unprepared, but there were two divisions of Zhang Haipeng in front of them, so the defensive force arranged on the northern slope would not be too strong; Therefore, our imperial warriors must be in one go, annihilate the opponent's defense forces in one fell swoop, and strive to take the opponent by surprise! ”

At the same time as the words of the bearded bee Guangzhijin fell, Zang Hao on the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain also stuffed the last piece of nest head into his mouth.

"Put!" Zang Hao shouted indistinctly while chewing on his nest head.

"Boom!"

The hundred-millimeter howitzer made a loud noise, and a shell instantly burst out of the muzzle and flew lightning in the direction of Subee Hironojin and the three Japanese squadrons.

At that time, two Japanese soldiers were sitting under a large tree and chatting:

"Where are you from?"

"Hiroshima, what about you?"

"Nagasaki, my hometown is beautiful."

"My hometown is also ......"

"Boom! ……”

The explosion of shells drowned out the conversation between the two Japanese soldiers, and seemed to foreshadow the fate of the two cities they were talking about.

The huge air wave generated by the explosion quickly pushed around the center of the explosion point, and before thirty or forty Japanese soldiers could understand what was happening, their bodies flew into the air like kites.

The body is like a ruined flocculent, and the blood is like a peach blossom.

In the distance, the bearded bee Hironojin leaned down on the ground as soon as he felt the vibration of the ground under his feet, and quickly climbed behind a large rock to observe the situation.

Soon a soldier came running up to him and reported:

"Report the mustache bee! ……”

Before he could say the rest of the words, Suwa Hironojin suddenly reached out and grabbed the Japanese soldier's trouser leg and pulled it hard, instantly knocking him to the ground.

Immediately after, another shell fell into the distant ranks.

The anger on Hiroyuki's face was almost substantial, and he lay on the ground and roared angrily:

"Baga Ya Road! Order the artillery to return fire! Fight back now! The rest of the people immediately moved and scattered into the woods in front of them to avoid the artillery fire! ”

A few minutes later, four shells flew from the rear of the Japanese army towards the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain.

But Zang Hao on the mountain didn't even hide, even if he heard the sound of cannonballs breaking through the sky overhead, he didn't care.

This was the exact opposite of his expression when he was captured, but he had not deliberately pretended to be timid before.

If the enemy really rushed to the front, then Zang Hao would definitely surrender on his knees at the first time, and at the same time shout for mercy, because he was really afraid of death.

But in the face of artillery fire, he didn't care at all.

At that time, when choosing this location for the cannon, Duan Jinghe did not specify a specific location for Zang Hao, so this place was chosen by himself.

As a gunner who can shoot a cannon out of a rifle with accuracy, Zang Hao knows very well where to set up a gun.

The position he was in now was a natural barrier similar to the back horn, and the chance of the opponent's shells being able to damage him was less than one in a thousand, so Zang Hao was not worried at all.

Zhao Dayong listened to the continuous explosions around him, and his heart rose to his throat.

He frowned and said to Zhou He next to him:

"Oh yes! The little devil's artillery fire is quite fierce, I'm afraid it won't work like this! ”

Zhou He looked at Zhao Dayong with a deep face, and his tone was a little helpless:

"That's no trick, we can only hide in the trenches, try to avoid casualties, and wait for the devil to send it to the door himself!"

Zhao Dayong sighed heavily and did not speak again......
