Chapter 292: A Fatal Blow

"Guan Amaterasu Great's hammer matter!"

In response to Wu Tianyou's ridicule, Fucha Morgen scolded with a smile, put the spear on his shoulder, and took out a match to "snort" and burn it, "Lamp!" ”

Yu Deshui, who was beside him, hurriedly handed over the oil lamp, "Here!" ”

The wick was pressed against the flame, and it was lit with a "bang", and the evening light illuminated the isolation room.

The isolation room is three or four meters square, one meter high, four holes meet here, three high and one low, the lowest hole can only allow an adult man to crawl through, that is the hole leading to Qujia Town.

The isolation room, as the name suggests, is where the tunnel is cut off in an emergency, and the partition is simple and rude - blown up!

The low tunnel stretched for more than ten meters from the isolation room to the defense line of Qujia Town, and it was not reinforced with masonry and wood like other sections, for this reason.

The other three openings were four or five feet high, interconnected, and all reinforced, and the walls of the caves were carved with dense gun holes, which were the best places to stop the enemy.

When the lights came on, the barrels in those holes retracted.

"What's wrong?" Wu Tianyou's voice sounded at the entrance of the tunnel on the left, "Don't wait? ”

"No waiting!" Fucha Morgen gritted his teeth, "Deshui, you take the three brothers to stay, and take care of the explosives!" ”

"Yes!" Yu Deshui hurriedly received the order, "Company commander, please rest assured, as long as the little devils dare to come in, Lao Tzu will bury them alive!" ”

"Hmm!" Fucha Morgen nodded, his spirits perked up, "The others will go back with Lao Tzu first...... The little devil may have messed up and can't miss this opportunity! ”

As he spoke, Fucha Morgen turned around, hunched over and drilled into the depths of the tunnel, and the brothers gathered their guns one after another, followed behind, and walked in a stream.

The little devil was indeed in chaos, Shao Zuo was killed, the captain was also disabled, but the enemy ran into the ground...... The supreme commander at the scene, Lieutenant Sawakawa, was also a little flustered, standing in the small building, looking at the collapsed corner of the house with a gloomy face, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Lieutenant," Second Lieutenant Matsuoka hurriedly came, his expression solemn, "the captain has been sent to the county seat after a simple treatment......

"Oh," Lieutenant Sawakawa seemed to have just come back to his senses, turned around abruptly, and stared at Second Lieutenant Matsuoka tightly, the murderous intent in his eyes slowly condensed, "Matsuoka-kun, immediately ask for reinforcements from the engineer troops...... Be sure to dig up all the abominable 'gophers'! ”

"Hey!" Second Lieutenant Matsuoka hurriedly hung his head, turned around, and hurried away.

Lieutenant Sawakawa thought about it and prepared to compete with the tunnel, but Captain Tanaka, who stayed behind in the headquarters, obviously didn't think so.

Not long after, Second Lieutenant Matsuoka hurriedly returned, "Lieutenant, Captain Tanaka ordered our unit to return to the city as soon as possible......"

"Back to the city?" Lieutenant Zechuan was stunned and frowned, "What about the defense of Qujia Town?" ”

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka hesitated slightly, "Captain's order: give up Qujia Town!" ”

"Yaga! Kazuji Tanaka that coward! Lieutenant Sawakawa scolded angrily, turned around and went out the door, "Go back to the city!" ”

The Japanese are mostly self-disciplined in the spirit of bushido, and naturally there is no shortage of rebellious people, but once the military order is issued, Lieutenant Sawakawa is helpless!

"Uh-huh-too-to-......"

Not long after, the little devil's convoy turned around and rushed to the county seat, and the battle of Qujia Town came to an end, but its impact slowly began to ferment.

The little devil chose to shrink the defense line and stabilized his position, and Fucha Morgen's plan to fish in troubled waters naturally failed, but the little devil withdrew from Qujia Town!

The news of the little devil's withdrawal from Qujia Town soon spread in the surrounding area, and for a while, the local armed forces around the Wei clan acted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!

On 3 August, a local armed force attacked the garrison of the little devils in Nanwanji, and after a fierce battle, the local armed forces were repulsed, but the little devils also suffered heavy casualties.

On August 4, a local armed force attacked the garrison of the little devil on Lijiaji, and after a fierce battle, the little devil was driven out of Lijiaji and fled back to the county seat in embarrassment.

Since then, the little devils have been frequently attacked in various strongholds outside the Wei clan, and they have to retreat to the city one after another, unable to retreat.

The situation of Wei's Anti-Japanese War was very good, and the Anti-Japanese War in Zhongmu, Shangqiu, Lanfeng, Kaifeng and other places was also in full swing.

The 81st Division constantly sent small units across the river to attack and harass Zhongmu, and the battle was connected.

The Luyu-Anhui guerrillas continued to harass the devil's strongholds in Lanfeng and Shangqiu, making the little devils tired of coping.

……

It was the middle of the month, the bright moon was hanging high, the night was pleasant, and the headquarters of the 14th Division was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Lieutenant General Jing Guan sat alone at the table, looking at the military map in a daze, his brows were tightly locked, and he sighed softly for a long time, "Ants bite the elephant to death......"

"Boom...... Rumble ......"

Before Lieutenant General Jingguan finished speaking, he felt that the earth trembled, and he was suddenly startled, and he stood up immediately, and then he was furious, "It's too much to deceive people!" It's too much to deceive people......"

"Lieutenant General," the attendant officer hurriedly came, his face solemn, "The explosion occurred in Nanguan, and the specific situation is still being investigated......

"Check?" Lieutenant General Jing Guan waved his hand and was murderous, "What else is there to investigate?" Let Kazuo Nakamura chase after him immediately! Don't let the enemy escape! ”

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Jing Guan slammed his fist on the table with a "bang" and gritted his teeth, "We must beat down the enemy's arrogance!" ”

"Hey!" The attendant said yes and hurried away.

However, the 14th Division was already surrounded by enemies on all sides at this time, so how easy was it to pursue?

Lieutenant General Iseki sat back in a daze, gasping fiercely, and when his breath calmed down, he raised his head and shouted, "Sano-kun!" ”

Sano Osa came in a hurry, stood still at the table with a "snap", and looked at Lieutenant General Iseki with a solemn expression, "Lieutenant General!" ”

Lieutenant General Iseki raised his head and stared at Sano Daisa with blazing eyes, "Make a counterattack plan immediately!" I'm going to fight back on all fronts! ”

"Hey!" Sano Osa hurriedly agreed, but his face was full of hesitation, "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, our department has not had time to rest since last year's battle, and it is ...... to fight back at this moment."

"Yaga!" Lieutenant General Jingguan's face sank, "If you don't fight back, where is there a foothold for my 14th Division in eastern Henan?" ”

"Hey!" Sano Osa didn't dare to persuade again, and hurriedly hung his head.

"Wow......"

Sano Osa had just left, and the attendant officer hurried back again, "Lieutenant General, the explosion occurred in Nanguan...... The liaison office was completely destroyed, the enemy was unknown, and Nakamura Nakasa was searching. ”

"Yaga!" Lieutenant General Jing Guan stood up suddenly, sat back weakly, sighed secretly, and waved his hand softly at the attendant.

The liaison office is a branch of the liaison department of the Japanese North China Army in Kaifeng, which belongs to the intelligence agency. The destruction of the liaison office made the already anxious Jing Guan Lieutenant General even more upset!

Little did he know that an even bigger storm was already brewing.

Zhongmu, the headquarters of the Fifth Division, and all the officers above the battalion level of the division gathered together and gathered together.

Commander Guan sat on the main seat, his eyes slowly swept over the generals, and his expression was solemn, "Before the enemy completely abandons its aggressive policy, our country's war of resistance will never look back and end, no matter how sacrifices and sufferings it has suffered...... These are the original words of the chairman of the National People's Congress in his "Letter to the Friends of the World" on 7 July! ”

As he spoke, Senior Commander Guan looked around at the generals again, "This is also our determination to resist the war!" ”

"Yes!" The generals stood up one after another and echoed, "Resist to the end!" Resist to the end! Resist to the end! ”

"Good!" Master Guan waved his hand, motioned for the generals to sit down, and slowly opened his mouth, "Now, although the battle situation has eased for the time being, we must not slack off a little!" Don't sit back and wait for the fighters, but take the initiative! ”

There's action!

The generals were in high spirits, and sure enough, they heard the voice of Division Commander Guan, "In recent days, all units of the 12th Army have continued to cross the river to attack and harass, and all local armed forces have also fully cooperated, which has dealt a great blow to the Japanese invaders...... Now, the Japanese are cowering in the city, and the attack of a small force is no longer effective. Therefore, the headquarters decided: The 20th Division, the 81st Division, and the 5th Temporary Division will draw capable forces to cross the river at the same time in three ways, and launch a fatal blow against the remnants of the enemy entrenched in Kaifeng, Zhongmu, and Weishi, and smash their turtle shells! ”

"Good!" The generals applauded, "Cross the river!" Crossing...... Smash the little devil's tortoise shell! ”

Division Commander Guan waved his hand again, his expression solemn, "The task of our department is to take down the Wei clan!" ”

"Yes!" The generals suddenly promised, "Take down the Wei clan!" ”

"Good!" Master Guan nodded and looked at Li Siwei on the left.

Li Siwei hurriedly stood up, his eyes swept over the generals, "According to the results of the division headquarters' deliberations, this battle will be commanded by me, and the participating troops will be drawn from each regiment. ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei picked up the list in front of him, "One regiment and two battalions." ”

"Here!" Camp Commander Zhou stood up suddenly, looking at Li Siwei with blazing eyes.

"Two regiments and three battalions."

"Here!" Battalion Commander He also stood up with a happy face.

"Three regiments and one battalion."

"Here!" Camp Commander Wei stood up with a solemn expression.

"The second battalion and the third battalion of the fourth regiment."

"Here!" Liao Heiniu and Shi Meng also hurriedly stood up.

"Pre-three regiments and one battalion."

"Here!" Camp Commander Chen stood up with surprise on his face.

"In addition, the communications platoon and mortar company of the fourth regiment will also take part in this battle."

The fourth regiment is the 66th regiment, and in the entire temporary fifth division, only the 66th regiment has a mortar company.

After that, Li Siwei put down the list, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then swept the six battalion commanders with a solemn expression, "It's nine o'clock in the morning...... Before sunset, the participating troops must be assembled at the place where the Wei clan crosses the river! ”

"Yes!" The six battalion commanders promised with a bang, and they were in good spirits.

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded, and glanced at the other generals again, "The other departments also need to be ready for battle and be ready at any time!" ”

The generals who were not on the list of participants in the war were all disappointed, but when they heard this, they suddenly surged with hope...... Beating up the water dogs, who doesn't want to go?

Master Guan glanced at them, smiled and nodded, "Siwei is right!" Don't be disappointed if you don't have a brother on the list...... If this battle goes well, we will definitely take the opportunity to expand the victory, and then you will all cross the river and join the battle! ”

The Japanese invaders were still stationed in the county seat of Weishi, but Sakurai Shaosa had been killed, Captain Tanaka became the acting captain, and the Sakurai Brigade became the Tanaka Brigade.

After repeated attacks, there were only three or four hundred people left in Tanaka's brigade, and they were forced to abandon all the strongholds outside the city and retreat into the county seat.

Before dawn, the night was dark, and the city of the Wei clan was heavily guarded, and the little devils on duty insisted on the sentry with strong spirits, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

At the west gate, Second Lieutenant Matsuoka nested in the fortress behind the city gate wrapped in a military blanket, waking up from a dream.

He was sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep.

Since the sound of gunfire at the Lugou Bridge, he has set foot on Chinese soil. In the past two years, he has fought all the way from Beiping to Kaifeng with the troops, and has experienced dozens of battles, large and small, but he has never suffered as much as recently!

Those people are really pervasive and ubiquitous!

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka secretly wailed and turned over, trying to make himself more comfortable, but just as he turned over, a terrible roar sounded on the city wall, "Enemy attack...... Belch! ”

The roar turned into a muffled snort, and then the familiar Type 38 rifle rang out, "Bang bang bang ......"

"Bang bang bang...... Woohoo ......"

That's the sound of the Type 92 infantry gun!

How can there be infantry artillery?

This must be the elite of the Shina people!

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka felt that his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly lifted the military blanket, and as soon as he pulled out the southern fourteenth pistol at his waist, he lay down in the fortress.

"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The low city wall trembled, and suddenly stone chips were scattered, and a miserable howl rang out.

"Fight back, return fire......"

As soon as the cannon fire stopped, Second Lieutenant Matsuoka hurriedly jumped out of the fortress with a wave of his gun, and rushed towards the city wall with a roar.

A group of little devils rushed to the city wall with their guns in their hands, scolding angrily, "Damn the Chinese people, that's the infantry cannon of the Empire......"

Indeed, the mortars equipped with the mortar company of the 66th Regiment were captured from the hands of the little devils, who called them "Type 92 infantry guns".

The 70-millimeter caliber Type 92 infantry cannon was not much less powerful than the 75-millimeter field artillery, and Ji Kui only fired three shots, and the gunfire on the city wall was a blast.

"Kill......"

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka rushed to the top of the city, but he heard the shouts of killing outside the city.

"Bang ......"

The bullets pounced like locusts, and with the flickering gunfire, Second Lieutenant Matsuoka saw the figures under the city, and the sound was terrifying, so he hurriedly pulled the trigger, "click......", but the southern fourteen in his hand was stuck.

"Yaga!" Second Lieutenant Matsuoka scolded angrily, hurriedly squatted down, hid behind the battlement, "......", a bullet whistled over his head, "puff puff ......", but more hit the wall.

"Da Da Da ......"

The little devil had one of the two Type 92 heavy machine guns left, and it began to roar at this time.

"Bang ......"

The little devils who arrived later also fought back desperately, and the 38 big cover rang out.

"Squeak Squeak......"

Four Type 92 infantry guns have also been moved to the city walls, and the angle of fire is being adjusted.

"Turtle's!"

Li Siwei heard the gunfire on the head of the city, and immediately decided, "Continue to bombard Lao Tzu and collapse the city wall!" ”

Although the shells are expensive, where are the lives of the brothers valuable?

Only by quickly breaking through the enemy's defenses can you minimize your own casualties.

The west gate was the chosen breach, where twelve mortars were concentrated, three guns in one round, and the bombardment would not stop at all.

The ammunition man had already aimed the shell at the muzzle, and when he heard this, he quickly let go of his hand, and the shell slipped into the muzzle.

"Bang ......"

Three more cannon shots, three shells roared out of the barrels, "shhh......h

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka had just taken out the jammed bullet, stretched out his legs, and was about to get up, but he heard the sound of cannonballs, and quickly retracted and lay down against the wall.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The cannonball smashed on the head of the city, the city wall shook, and the second lieutenant Matsuoka only felt a numbness in his lower back, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and instantly spread to the whole body, "Yaga ......"

"Bang bang bang...... Shhhhh......h

Before Lieutenant Matsuoka's scolding fell, he heard the sound of cannons outside the city again, and suddenly fell into an ice cave, and there was only despair left in his heart.

Looking up blankly, Second Lieutenant Matsuoka saw the flickering firelight in the direction of the east gate in a trance......

The East Gate was also attacked?

As soon as this thought came to Lieutenant Matsuoka, he was drowned in the churning smoke of gunpowder.

"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The low walls could no longer resist the destruction and fell with a bang.

"Kill!"

Battalion Commander Chen led the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment and the 1st Battalion to rush to the collapsed city wall and "break east......

Li Siwei followed up with his direct company and the troops of the Wei battalion commander and rushed to the collapsed city wall, "The first company cleaned the battlefield, the second company and the third company went to the north gate, and the direct company went to the south gate with Lao Tzu ......"

Liao Heiniu's second battalion was fighting fiercely at the north gate, Shi Meng's third company was blocked out of the south gate, and the sound of guns and cannons at the east gate was like rain, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky...... Battalion Commander Zhou and Battalion Commander He are leading their troops to attack.
