Chapter Forty-Eight: The Battle of Yedianji (3)

Because of a fire burning on the surface of the river, a rare scene occurred in the Yedian market, an artillery duel!

Skilled gunners can find the location of the shells according to the trajectory of the shells, so the artillery duel needs to constantly change positions.

Ji Kui is a clever gunner, he understands this, but at this time, he has to fight to the death, because Chief Li and his brothers are being pressed and beaten by the devil's artillery!

When the mountain cannon on the right flank was hit by the devil's cannonball, Ji Kui trembled, paused with his right hand, and swung it down heavily.

"Bang", the mountain artillery on the left flank rang out!

"Retreat ......" almost at the same time, Ji Kui yelled, turned around and ran.

The artillerymen scattered in all directions, scattering their legs and running.

"Shh......h Bang...... Boom ......" At this moment, there was a scream, and a violent explosion came from behind him, and the mountain cannon that remained in place was directly hit by the devil's shell and exploded...... Artillery was running wildly, some were blasted into the air, some were hit by flying shrapnel, and some were pushed to the ground by the waves......

Cannons are far more terrible than guns, and artillery duels are far more brutal than infantry duels!

Two mountain guns were destroyed, and the improvised artillery company suffered heavy casualties, however, they attracted firepower, the pressure on the forward positions was greatly reduced, and more importantly, they destroyed four field guns and several boxes of shells of the Nagasawa brigade!

After the explosion, the wild store market suddenly fell silent...... Only the screams of one after another were wafting.

The Changze brigade was busy shifting positions, and Ji Kui's artillery company was powerless to counterattack! The Domoto brigade that crossed the river was completely wiped out by the artillery fire of his own men, and the defenders of Yedianji were busy treating the wounded and repairing the defensive line......

Without strong and complete fortifications, two rounds of artillery fire brought down the casualties of the whole regiment to 600 men, more than half of whom were killed.

Li Siwei silently looked at the wailing position, his heart was dripping blood, and the fresh lives were gone...... In the morning, they were still drinking canned soup from a pot with themselves, and the satisfied smiling faces were still fresh in their memories, but after two rounds of artillery fire......

"Sir," Huang Hua found Li Siwei, "the fire has been lit, what other tasks do you have?" ”

Li Siwei looked at Huang Hua, "I just have a task for you to ......."

Huang Hua looked happy, "What's the deal?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head, "This is a very important task...... You take your brothers from the special service platoon and are responsible for the transfer of the wounded......"

"Evacuate the wounded?" Huang Hua was stunned, "Doctor Ning, aren't they in the wild shop?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head, "Yedian Collection...... I'm afraid I can't hold it. ”

"Why?" Huang Hua was anxious, "Didn't that fire burn well just now?" ”

"That's the fire!" Li Siwei stared at Huang Hua tightly.

"No," Huang Hua shook his head, "Sir, you must have something else to do, right?" ”

Li Siwei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I've thought of all the ways I should think of...... Now I have to carry it hard......"

"Huh?" Huang Hua was taken aback, "There's really no way?" ”

Li Siwei glanced at him and nodded helplessly, what else could he do? This is positional warfare, not guerrilla warfare!

Huang Hua also gave up, and even the chief said that there was no way, that is, there was really no way......

Li Siwei sighed, "You sent all the injured brothers to ...... Go to Zaozhuang, don't delay on the road...... Bring all the medics with you...... Take care of them. ”

"What about you?" Huanghua was stunned.

"We ...... There is also the responsibility of defending the land, leaving the post without permission is a deserter," Li Siwei said slowly: "But the injured brothers have no combat effectiveness, Lao Tzu can't watch them wait for death, right?" ”

Huang Hua was stunned, "Okay! I'll get them safe......" He turned and left.

Li Siwei looked at Huang Hua's back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, girl, if I can survive, I will go back to you.

In fact, Li Siwei couldn't say whether this decision was made for the injured brothers or for Ning Rou...... All he knew was that they ...... He cares!

Major General Saito looked at the Nodianji silently, his face gloomy and uncertain, and suddenly, he asked softly, "What do you think of the guards of the Yedianji?" ”

The officials looked at each other, not knowing why he asked like this.

Major General Saito turned his head, looked around at everyone, and said slowly: "The Chinese land is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and you still need to work hard!" ”

"Hey!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Major General Saito waved his hand, "Order all units to eat, wait until the fire is extinguished, and then attack." ”

At this time, it is noon, and it is time to eat.

Xintaiji, artillery fire was flying, and the 4th Regiment of the 66th Division and the Sakamoto detachment were fighting fiercely.

When Regiment Commander Xie hurriedly reinforced the Xintai Bridge with four regiments, it was too late...... The little devil firmly controlled the Xintai Bridge, and the follow-up troops drove up in a steady stream and fought fiercely with the four regiments.

The Japanese Fifth Division had made great achievements in the North China Battlefield, and the Sakamoto Detachment, like the Saito Detachment, was also composed of the elite wing of the Fifth Division.

What is Elite? The firepower is strong, and the quality of individual soldiers is outstanding...... As soon as the officers and men of the 4th Regiment and the Sakamoto detachment fought, they were defeated and retreated, suffering heavy casualties.

The sound of artillery shook the sky, shrapnel flew sideways, and Regiment Commander Xie jumped like thunder on the position, "Withstand, all of them are ...... Lao Tzu"

"Regiment commander," the third battalion commander leaned over with a sad face, "What's the matter, the little devil's cannon is going to bomb Xintaiji flat?" ”

Head Xie scolded at the head: "Aren't you fucking dead?" As long as the four regiments are not dead, the new Taiji cannot be lost! ”

"Alas!" The third battalion commander stomped his feet, "The team that was finally pulled up, is it going to be light here?" ”

Regiment Commander Xie froze for a moment, staring at the third battalion commander tightly, "Zhang Zide, you can pull it up again when the team is exhausted, if you become a deserter...... You'll never deserve to wear the Blue Sky and White Sun badge again, you know? ”

Zhang Zide was stunned and shouted: "Yes, the humble position will not tarnish the reputation of the four regiments!" ”

"Okay," Regiment Leader Xie smiled, "Tell the brothers that the little devils can live and die with Xintaiji, and so can we!" Can't even compare to the little devils. ”

He deeply remembered the scene they saw when they captured Xintaiji, not a single of the two hundred or so little devils stationed in Xintaiji was alive, and even the cooks and medical soldiers were all killed in battle.

The heavy shelling finally stopped, and the tanks of the Sakamoto detachment slowly drove up, six tanks lined up, followed by groups of infantry.

"Mortar," Commander Xie roared.

"Bang bang ......" four mortars rang out at the same time.

"Shh......h Boom ...... "A shell accurately hit a tank.

However, before the crowd had time to cheer, there was a loud bang, "bang", a tank spewed fireworks, and a mortar was hit directly by the "boom.......

"Bang bang bang...... Boom......" The other tanks also let out a roar, and in the blink of an eye, all four mortars were destroyed.

Regiment Commander Xie was stunned, and the officers and men were terrified, many of them even saw tanks for the first time, including Regiment Commander Xie, an officer from the garrison force.

The tank approached slowly, and the defenders opened fire, but the bullets hit the tank, splashing sparks......

Major General Sakamoto slowly lowered his binoculars and smiled with a relaxed smile, "Is there only such a force left in the Shina?" ”

"Yes," the officials nodded in agreement, "how can such an army hold back the advance of the Imperial warriors?" ”

"Boom", suddenly a loud bang came, and everyone couldn't laugh anymore.

Major General Sakamoto hurriedly raised his binoculars, only to see a tank on fire, which had been burned to scrap metal...... He did not know that there were many officers and men in this team who had retreated from Songhu and Nanjing, and they had experience in dealing with tanks.

"Collect the troops!" Major General Sakamoto's face sank like water, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Nakamura Daisa...... Bang Ping Xintai set! ”

"Hey!" Nakamura Osa excitedly agreed, turned around and went back to the artillery position.

The fire on the river gradually went out.

The soldiers were ready in the fortifications, and they all knew that the real battle was about to come.

Li Siwei shouted from the position, "Brothers, are you afraid? ”

All the soldiers looked at him and shouted.

"Not afraid ......"

"I'm afraid of a ball......"

"Kill a ...... enough"

……

Li Siwei suddenly interrupted them loudly, "Lao Tzu is afraid! ”

Everyone was stunned, but they heard Li Siwei continue: "Lao Tzu is afraid of dying here, but Lao Tzu is even more afraid that he can't keep the wild shop market, in that case, the little devil will rush over and kill Lao Tzu's relatives and friends; Lao Tzu is afraid that he will never see his beloved girl again, but Lao Tzu is even more afraid that he will not be able to keep the wild shop market, in that case, the little devil will rush over and spoil Lao Tzu's beloved girl; Lao Tzu is afraid that he will never see his children again, but Lao Tzu is even more afraid that he will not be able to keep the wild store set, in that case, we will lose the wild store today, and we will lose Xuzhou tomorrow...... One day, Lao Tzu's children will become slaves of the country......"

All the soldiers were shocked and fell silent.

"So, although Lao Tzu is very afraid, Lao Tzu can't retreat!" Li Siwei's face turned red and he yelled, "Brothers, are you afraid? ”

The crowd was silent, but those eyes were firm, those eyes were bright, and there was fire in them, the anger of hatred!

"Brothers," Li Siwei yelled, "just now, Lao Tzu asked Wei to boil canned soup with a knife, and Lao Tzu told him that as long as the little devil stops, the brothers will drink fragrant canned soup and eat hot Dawotou ......."

Before Li Siwei's words fell, there was already a scream in the air, "Shhh......hhhh

"Bang bang bang...... Boom ......Boom "Artillery fire on the position...... The big war is coming!

In the Yedian Market, Wei Yidao took his brothers to the east of the city with their burdens and went straight into the Yedian Centralized School.

The wild shop set is not big, and the wild shop concentration is not big, but it is very new, with blue bricks and black tiles, in this civil engineering, than the mayor's office building! (The government attaches great importance to education, and it is not difficult to understand this matter if we look at the masters in the education field.) )

Yedian Concentration School did not escape the shelling of the little devils, but after all, the east of the city is far from the front line, and it is much better than those unrecognizable buildings in the west of the city.

"Let's start doing it," Wei Yidao put the burden on the playground, "Second dog, you take the brothers of the first class to clean up the playground; In one hand, you take the brothers of the second class to set up the cauldron; Fatty, you take the brothers of the third class to fetch water......"

"Platoon leader," the tall fat man Luo hesitated, "It's almost upside-down outside, and we're cooking here?" ”

"Yes," the lean-looking Liu Yishou was a little apprehensive, "don't you want the meal to be ready...... But when a man dies, what do you eat? Otherwise, let us go to the west of the city to help the brothers? ”

"Yes, yes," everyone echoed, "Liu Yishou is right, don't make the meal ready, no one will eat it......"

"Give Lao Tzu a little bit of profit," Wei Yidao's face sank, "The chief said, the brothers should drink fragrant canned soup after the war, and eat hot Dawotou ......"

"This ......" everyone was stunned, it was the first time they saw this good old man lose his temper in public.

"What's this?" Wei Yidao picked up a big iron pot and yelled at everyone, "Give Lao Tzu some money, the chief said that if you want to eat, then you want to eat, if the brothers come down and the meal is not ready, how can Lao Tzu explain to the chief?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and they obviously heard Wei Yidao's voice trembling a little.

Wei Yidao set up the iron pot by himself, as if he was talking to himself, "When I was in Taiping Village, the chief killed the cow, which was the meat I cut with a knife, and the chief praised me for my good knife skills and good eyesight...... It was also stewed in this big iron pot, and I carried it on my back all the time, and I also used it to stew chicken soup and canned soup for my brothers...... The commander said, "Every time I win a battle, I have a credit!" But my heart is weak...... I also fought with the little devils on the battlefield, and I know how ruthless the little devils are...... I can't let my brothers who are fighting with the little devils go hungry! ”

For some reason, everyone felt a little sour after hearing it.

Liu snorted with one hand, hurriedly ran up, and helped Wei Yidao...... Others have taken action.

"Shh......h Bang", suddenly, a cannonball landed on the school building, blowing up a corner, and sawdust flew with brick slag.

But on the playground, everyone turned a deaf ear and was still busy with their own affairs, in order.

After a while, twelve large iron pots were set up on the playground, in three rows and four columns, neatly and neatly.

Canning and picking wild vegetables...... The crowd was busy in an orderly manner.

The guns and shouts of killing in the west of the city were higher and higher, but this seemed to have nothing to do with them; From time to time, disoriented shells fall around, but this seems to have nothing to do with them...... They only bury their heads in the work of cooks. Because, they want the brothers to drink fragrant canned soup and eat hot big nest head.

On the battlefield west of the city, fierce battles are raging; On the playground in the east of the city, the smell of canned soup fills the air......

Slowly, the smell of canned soup wafts throughout the wild shop.

Li Siwei perked up and shouted, "Brothers, beat the little devils and go drink canned soup." ”

"Beat the little devils away and go to drink canned soup ......"

This cry resounded one after another, resounding across the battlefield.
