The two bombardments of the little devils are over.

At the temporary headquarters of the 51st Army, army commander Yu Xuezhong led a group of combat staff officers of the military headquarters to shake off the dust on their bodies and walk out of the gate of the headquarters.

As far as the eye can see, the original headquarters has turned into a cloud of ruins, and almost all the buildings and houses in the entire village have been overturned under the fire of the little devils.

Yu Xuezhong couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, fortunately, fortunately, he followed Yang Yun's suggestion, changed the command center early this morning, and slightly modified the previous command center, which led to the current scene.

At the same time, Yu Xuezhong was a little convinced of Yang Yun's ability, he had only heard about it before, but now he had experienced it and seen it with his own eyes.

It was according to Yang Yun's proposal that he slightly modified the original headquarters to make the original headquarters more eye-catching.

In this way, although the original command headquarters was reduced to ashes in the two bombings of the little devils; However, because of the large amount of firepower of the little devils attracted, it also invisibly reduced the casualties of their own side.

……

At the forefront of the position, the little devils have already pressed the border, and the previous pontoon bridges on the Huai River have been blown up and demolished by the 51st Army as early as yesterday.

The little devils of the 9th Division wanted to cross the river, either by boat or by building a pontoon bridge.

Apart from these two methods, there are hardly any other options.

The little devils of the Ninth Division seem to have been prepared for this, and the reason why they did not launch an attack at the first time after rushing to Linhuai Pass, but delayed it for another day, perhaps was to prepare for crossing the river.

The entire front, bounded by the Huai River, stretches for dozens of miles from east to west.

Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshika, the commander of the 9th Division of the Little Devils, was worthy of being a Japanese officer who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he did not blindly order his officers and men to launch a war to cross the river.

Instead, he chose a few places where the water flow was relatively gentle and the terrain on the other side of the river was relatively gentle, intending to force the Huai River from here, take the Linhuai Pass in one fell swoop, and completely annihilate the enemy troops stationed at the Linhuai Pass.

Because he knew that the longer the battle line was stretched, the more disadvantageous it would be to their attackers.

Only by combining forces in one place can we form a strong suppression of the enemy army, so that we can successfully cross the river.

So he chose three places that he thought were the most suitable as the battlefield for forcibly crossing the Huai River.

After choosing the battlefield, Yoshika Ryosuke did not immediately order his little devils to launch a surprise attack immediately, but first ordered the little devils of the artillery wing to launch a bombardment of the 51st Army position on the north bank of the Huai River.

However, what the little devils never expected was that they had just set up the cannon rack, and they hadn't even had time to launch a bombardment.

The enemy forces on the other side of the Huai River took the lead in launching a bombardment on them.

"Boom! Boom to Lao Tzu! ”

Li Xuefang, commander of the artillery brigade of the 51st Army, shouted an order to his artillery brothers.

In fact, there was no need for him to give an order, when the army of little devils appeared on the other side of the Huai River, the officers and men of the artillery brigade were ready for battle.

Set up the gun mount, adjust the gun port, aim at the little devil on the other side of the Huai River, and then move boxes of shells to the position, next to the fort, and open the wooden box.

Just waiting for the brigade seat Li Xuefang to give an order, they will not hesitate to stuff the cannonball into the barrel of the cannon and launch the most fierce bombardment on the little devil.

Before this, Li Xuefang was not very convinced of Yang Yun's ability, but at this moment, when the big army of little devils really appeared in the area on the other side of the Huai River, he was completely convinced of Yang Yun.

Because it was he who pointed out that the little devils would inevitably start a war to cross the river from this position.

In addition, Yang Yun pointed out that there are not only this one, but as many as five.

At this moment, hearing the sound of artillery fire in the distance, Li Xuefang knew that Yang Yun must have said it right again, otherwise, if he hadn't been prepared, he would not have been able to launch a counterattack against the little devil in such a short period of time, and even before the little devil made a move, he took the lead in launching the war.

Maybe Yang Yun's analysis is not all right, but Li Xuefang knows that Yang Yun will only expect more, and will not miss it.

In fact, at last night's meeting, Yang Yun pointed out that the little devils will definitely start a river-crossing war in three or more of these five places.

Maybe Yang Yun said two more positions, but compared to the previous deployment of their 51st Army, it was almost along the north bank of the Huai River, and it has been deployed for dozens of miles.

Such a deployment can make every place on the north bank of the Huai River have troops to defend it.

But the consequences can be very serious, because this deployment will make the forces too scattered, and if the little devils only launch a strong attack from a few points, it will cause a lot of waste of their troops.

And then before the reinforcements from the rest of the country rushed to support, the position had already been broken by the little devils.

Since we were still far away and were not within the range of each other's shots, shelling was almost exclusively used.

In particular, the little devils of the Ninth Division, they never expected that the Chinese officers and soldiers on the north bank of the Huai River would take the lead in launching artillery attacks on them, and they did not react for a while, and as a result, they suffered a big loss.

However, after stabilizing their positions, they also launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the enemy positions on the north bank of the Huai River.

Ryosuke Yoshika, the commander of the 9th Division of the Little Devils, did not command at the forefront of the battle, but handed over the task of the main attack to Yoshiyoshi Akiyama's 6th Brigade, and he himself hid in the rear to supervise the battle.

It's not that he's afraid of death, but at his level, he rarely comes to command on the battlefield.

Not only the Japanese army, but even the Chinese side, basically officers above the brigade level rarely came to the battlefield to lead the troops to charge.

The No. 1 battlefield was mainly attacked by the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 9th Mountain Artillery Wing.

The 113th Division of the 51st Army was in danger of the Huai River and resisted their attacks to the death.

Even at this moment, the shells rained down on their positions and trenches; Even if people continue to die tragically under the bombardment of the little devils, no one shows a look of fear, and they are all resolute.

The battle continued, the two sides went back and forth, the shells fired from our positions fell on your positions, and the shells above your positions fell on our positions.

At every moment, whether it is the little devils of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army or the officers and soldiers of the 133rd Division of the 51st Army, there are constantly people who are dying.

However, because the weapons and equipment of the 51st Army Artillery Brigade are not as good as the Ninth Wing of the Little Devil Mountain Artillery, at the beginning, because of the first opportunity, it may be able to compete with the Little Devil.

However, with the passage of time, the backwardness of weapons and equipment has become more and more obvious.

"Hahaha! The enemy's, it's no longer good, give me more firepower! ”

Seeing that the firepower of the artillery brigade of the 51st Army was slowly decreasing, the wing commander of the 9th Wing of the Little Devil Mountain Artillery, Serikawa Hidedasa, suddenly showed a proud and arrogant look......
