A moment later, a signal corpsman ran over panting and reported: "Wing Commander, the 1st Infantry Brigade has taken the outlying positions of the Independent Regiment, but not a single enemy has been found on the positions!" ”

"Nani? Not a single enemy army? Deputy Wing Captain Kawa Atashiro was stunned when he heard this. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Koga Taro laughed out loud and said, "The Shina Army is defeated without a fight, and the Shina Army is the Shina Army, and they don't dare to fight the Imperial Army at all!" Order, the 1st Infantry Brigade must not stop, continue to advance forward, and be fast, fast and drip! Be sure to take the main peak of Hat Mountain before the 108th Infantry Wing! ”

"Hello!" The signal soldier paused heavily, turned and ran.

Kawa Terashiro said: "Captain, it is said that this Dameishan Independent Regiment is very strong in combat, and even the Kumamoto Division and the Himeji Division have been defeated by them, but now they have abandoned the outer positions without resistance, will there be any conspiracy in between?" Otherwise, let's take a break? ”

"It's too late, and the 108th Infantry Wing will take the position of the main peak of Hat Mountain!" Koga Taro said, "The Dameishan Independent Regiment is actually the same thing, as for the Kumamoto Division and the Himeji Division you mentioned, it doesn't mean anything, and the tigers are still napping, and it's not surprising that the horse stumbles." ”

After a pause, Koga Taro said again: "What's more, this operation is a sudden attack, the Dameishan Independent Regiment never thought that we would attack, and it is not surprising that we will flee without a fight, after all, when it comes to escaping, no one in this world can match the Chinese, hehe." ”

When Kawa Shiro heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Koga Taro turned his head to the signal corpsman behind him and said, "Immediately send a telegram to the former enemy headquarters, saying that our Sasayama Wing has broken through the enemy's outer positions and is advancing towards the main peak of Hat Mountain!" ”

"Hello." The signal soldier paused and turned to go.

After receiving Koga Taro's order, the 170th Infantry Wing continued to boldly advance forward, and the bold advance of the 170th Infantry Wing affected the 108th Infantry Wing and the 137th Infantry Wing in the other two directions.

There is a mountain called Fulong Mountain in the west of the Hat Mountain, the two mountains are about two kilometers apart, these two not very high peaks are like two door gods, one east and one west crouching on both sides of the main road leading to Pucheng from Pukou, but, in comparison, the hat on the east side is steeper, more easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This is also the main reason why He Shuya chose to build fortifications on his hat.

It's just that the little devil didn't know that Niu Dazhuang's artillery camp was hidden on Fulong Mountain on the west side.

At this moment, Niu Dazhuang is standing on a raised cliff, holding a telescope to observe the movement on the hat mountain, in the field of vision of the telescope, the entire hat mountain is full of torches, flashing flashlight beams everywhere, which shows that the little devil has almost crowded the entire hat mountain.

Suddenly, the corners of Niu Dazhuang's mouth hooked up with a smile.

The next moment, Niu Dazhuang suddenly put down the binoculars, turned around and roared: "Each artillery platoon has it, according to the calibration of the yuan, all of them are loaded with sulfur bombs, and ten rounds are fired rapidly!" ”

"Yes, according to the calibration of the elements, on the sulfur bomb, ten rounds of rapid fire!"

"According to the calibration of Zhu Yuan, on the sulfur bomb, ten rounds of rapid fire!"

"Brimstone bombs, ten rapid fires!"

"Ten Rapid Fire!"

Niu Dazhuang's order was quickly conveyed.

The next moment, more than 30 75 mountain guns, 92 infantry guns, and 80 mortars raised their muzzles one after another, and fired five sulfur shells in the direction of Maoshan according to the pre-calibrated firing yuan.

If it was only a mere 300 rounds of sulfur bombs, of course, it would not pose much of a threat to the Japanese army.

However, the terrible thing is that there are 8,000 mines buried under the ground of Hat Mountain! Although it is only a black powder mine produced by the Dameishan Arsenal, the power of ten catties of black powder after the explosion is still quite large, not to mention the shock wave and sound wave generated by the explosion alone, it is enough to shock the devil.

The 300 rounds of sulfur bombs accurately landed at the 80 impact points that had been calibrated in advance, and at once ignited the fuse buried at the impact point, which in turn detonated 8,000 ten-pound charge mines buried in the ground.

Let's set the clock back to five minutes.

In Nanjing's Fanghua Garden, the chief of staff of the Central China Dispatch Army, Kawabe Shozo, was boasting to Dongjiuer Twist Hiko about how perfect and classic the battle plan for the raid on Dameishan was this time, and he was ashamed to make a prediction, threatening that this attack would easily occupy Meizhen and destroy the lair of the Dameishan Independent Regiment.

Listening to the riverside Masisan talking non-stop, Higashikuri didn't say a word.

In the battle of Wuhan that has ended, the Second Army led by Higashikuri Tsusahiko took the lead in breaking through from Xinyang at the most critical juncture, which directly led to the rout of the Nationalist Army, in contrast, Itagaki Seishiro's 11th Army performed lacklusterly, plus Itagaki Seishiro was injured in the Battle of Jiujiang, so history has changed a little: the Second Army was not abolished as in history, and it became the Eleventh Army that was revoked in this time and space, and naturally, the Japanese army stationed in Wuhan was also composed of the Eleventh Army in history, It became the second army of Higashikure.

Dong Jiu Tsuyan first experienced the fiasco of the Battle of Dameishan, and then experienced the surprise victory of the Battle of Wuhan, the temperament of the whole person has changed greatly, and he is no longer as frizzy as when he first arrived on the battlefield in China, at that time he even dared to personally lead a cavalry wing to charge into battle, but now he is much calmer.

That's why it is said that if you become a doctor after a long illness and become a god after a long battle, as long as you are not a real fool, you will grow in the end, but the price of Higashikuruhiko's growth is inevitably greater.

Faced with the eloquent talk of Shozo Riverside, Higashikuri Twist Higashi did not say a word.

In the end, Nishio Shouzo couldn't help it, and asked Higashikure Tsuruhiko, "What does Your Highness think of this plan?" ”

Higashikure smiled faintly and said, "Of course, this raid plan formulated by Riverside Sang is perfect, at least theoretically speaking, it is absolutely perfect, but I am skeptical about whether this plan can work, because the Dameishan Independent Regiment is not so easy to deal with." ”

Kawabe Shozo's face immediately sank, because Higashikurehiko almost completely denied the entire plan, although the guy Tokurehiko said that the entire battle plan was perfect, but he said that this plan couldn't work, and the plan that didn't work could be said to be a perfect plan? It's a joke or not.

Kawabe Shozo said unconvinced: "Your Highness is saying that this plan is a joke?" ”

"Riverside-san, I didn't say that." Higashikuri waved his hand lightly, but the expression on his face was clearly saying, yes, this battle plan is a joke.

When the riverside was about to argue, a faint thunder suddenly sounded outside the war room.

But soon, the faces of Nishio Shouzo, Kawabe Shozo, and Higashikuri Tsuruhiko all changed, because they reacted immediately, this was not thunder, but an explosion!

At that moment, the three of them turned around and walked out, and as soon as they walked out of the door of the war room, the three of them immediately noticed that the night sky, which should have been pitch black, was as if it was on fire, and it was red, and then looked at it, but this dazzling red light came from Jiangbei, Nishio Shouzo's face changed suddenly, and the face of Shozo Riverside became even more pale.

Because there is a Yangtze River between Nanjing and Pukou, and Fanghuayuan, where the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army is located, is located in the southeast suburbs of Nanjing, from Fanghuayuan to the battlefield in Jiangbei, the distance is at least 20 kilometers in a straight line, and such a loud noise can be heard from such a distance, which shows how tragic the explosion scene is!

Kawabe Shozo's family knows his own affairs, and knows that the 104th Wing of the Field Artillery only has 36 75 field guns, and the cluster shelling of 36 75 field guns is definitely not so loud, so the only credible explanation is that this huge explosion was made by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, thinking of this, Kawabe Shozo's heart immediately began to sink.

However, Kawabe Shozo always had a trace of luck in his heart, saying, "Maybe the arsenal in Pukou exploded." ”

"Pukou's arsenal?" Nishio Shouzao turned his head when he heard the sound, and stared at the riverside Shozo with very dissatisfied eyes, really I can't understand the military map? The location of the Pukou arsenal is not here at all!

However, Higashikure Tsusahiko said a rare good word for Kawabe Shozo: "Your Excellency, although the explosion came very suddenly, and it is very likely that the Dameishan Independent Regiment made a movement, the 104th Division may not suffer, so let's wait for the telegram from the 104th Division." ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Dong Jiu Er said the telegram, a communications staff officer hurriedly ran over.

After running in front of Nishio Shouzo, the communications staff officer paused and said: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Division is in an emergency, the 108th Infantry Wing, the 137th Wing and the 170th Wing of the Infantry participating in the general attack were ambushed by a mine array in the Hat Mountain Area, and all suffered heavy losses. ”

"Nani?" Hebe Masan was dumbfounded, "Mine array?!" ”

Kawabe Shozo was completely unacceptable, and a surprise attack that he had carefully planned and carefully planned was easily disintegrated by one of the opponent's minefields.

Nishio Shouzo snorted and said, "Joke, this is a joke!" (To be continued.) )
