Just when Kenaga Okazaki was stunned by the violent explosion in the canyon and the rain of stones in the sky, on the artillery position behind him, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly sounded. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . On the other side of the canyon, there was also a dense burst of gunfire and grenade explosions.

Behind the hill on the north side of the canyon, a large number of dirt roads suddenly appeared, and they began to attack the Japanese troops who were also stunned on the north hill from behind. For a while, the northern hills, which had been relatively calm before, were constantly gunfired.

Kencho Okazaki, who had recovered from the sudden blow, gave an order that was extremely surprising. Order the broken squad to immediately deploy rescue artillery and stop the attackers behind them. The rest of the troops who had not yet entered the canyon immediately concentrated their forces and rushed across the canyon at full speed, joining up with the more than 100 troops in front of them.

At the same time, he ordered the signal corps to immediately set up a radio station with the headquarters of the 36th Division in Changzhi, and requested the division headquarters to send planes to assist in the battle. At the same time, contact the Japanese puppet army dispatched from Luoma and Qiaokou, so that they can move closer to this side as soon as possible. Cooperate with yourself to ensure that you can arrive in Licheng within the specified time according to the requirements of your boss.

It was just a matter of waiting for the Japanese communications corps, who were carrying the radio, to set up the radio and prepare to send the message. Two crisp gunshots made Okazaki's hope for help completely come to naught. In addition to the radio station was shot six or five bullets, and it was punched in a crossing. The communications soldier who was wearing a headset on his head was also directly opened by a bullet in the head.

Before hearing the gunshot, Kencho Okazaki, who was lying down at the fastest speed at the first time, reacted, and two bullets flew around him one after another, and after the gunshot, the two communication soldiers who went to rescue the radio station were sent directly to see Amaterasu. Looking at the radio station that was pierced and the three communication soldiers who were fatally shot by one shot, Kencho Okazaki felt cold in his heart.

Without radio and communication troops, it means that all contact with the outside world has been cut off. Unless the friendly forces in the north take the initiative to move closer here, they will be surrounded here, and no one will necessarily know. Listening to the increasingly dense gunshots behind his buttocks, this Kennaga Okazaki gritted his teeth.

Under the protection of the guards around him, he immediately withdrew into the canyon with all the remaining people. In addition to deploying two 'strong' light machine guns at the mouth of the gorge to cover the troops behind the break. Concentrate the rest of the forces and force a fast passage through the canyon without retreating. The Japanese troops on the mountain north of the canyon also fought with the Dohachi Road rushing behind them to cover the passage of Okazaki Nakasa.

Kencho Okazaki's hand was indeed quite unexpected by Li Ziyuan. A squadron commanded by Chandford, who launched an attack behind the Japanese buttocks, eliminated the 'door' mountain guns left by the Japanese as the firepower on duty, as well as a dozen artillery pieces. But he was blocked by the squad after the Japanese army broke off, and he was unable to make progress for a long time.

Li Ziyuan, who was caught off guard, immediately adjusted his deployment when he saw this. The troops on the hill north of the canyon were ordered to immediately and quickly disengage from the Japanese and join the troops at the exit of the canyon. He commanded He Huizhang to carry the machine gun that was 'straightened' into a repeating rifle, and immediately went around behind the Japanese squad that was blocking, and adopted a two-sided attack tactic with Qian Defu to deal with the Japanese squad first.

And Guo Laosan's father and 'daughter', after knocking out the two 'Ting' light machine guns of the Japanese army guarding the mouth of the gorge with accurate rifle fire, also joined in the interception and killing of the infantry squad after the Japanese army broke off. In addition, He Huizhang's accurate grenadiers continued to disperse the Japanese troops, and only then did a pursuit route be opened.

It's just that after Qian Defu led the team into the canyon, Kenaga Okazaki had already rushed through the canyon with his troops, and gathered the scattered troops in the canyon to join the more than 100 Japanese troops in front of him. Facing the Japanese army who were hugging back together, and looking at the sky again, Li Ziyuan decided to wait until after dark to continue to attack.

But what happened next was not as Li Ziyuan imagined. Just when Li Ziyuan was preparing to continue to carry out a 'riotous' harassment attack on the Japanese Okazaki detachment in front of him at night, the fighter plane had already missed it. The Japanese puppet army, which had attacked from the stronghold of Luoma and Qiaokou, had already broken through Liu Yanlai's interception and joined up with the remaining Japanese army of more than 300 under the leadership of Kenaga Okazaki.

Looking at the Japanese puppet army that had recovered to more than 500 people in front of him, resting in a small valley in the mountains, and speeding up to seize the commanding heights around him, Li Ziyuan sneered a few times. Do you really think that if you come together, Lao Tzu can't help you. Don't you have mountain artillery? Cannons, Lao Tzu also has them. Well, the caliber is much bigger than yours.

Li Ziyuan sneered a few times, turned his head and whispered a few words to the two soldiers beside him. After hearing the order, the two soldiers looked at Li Ziyuan in front of them, and took the order away in some surprise. And Guo Xiaoshan's father and daughter, who were transferred back by Li Ziyuan at this moment, were also looking at Li Ziyuan strangely.

After defeating the Japanese army's communications corps in the afternoon, Guo Xiaoshan's father and 'daughter' were transferred back by Li Ziyuan. In his words, the fighter that is employing this cold-gun tactic has been lost. After the Japanese army crossed that canyon, the entire terrain was no longer suitable for adopting the tactics of cold guns and cold artillery.

Guo Xiaoshan didn't understand what Li Ziyuan meant, but who was Guo Laosan? That's definitely an old man's 'fine' guy. Li Ziyuan transferred them back, and Guo Laosan immediately understood Li Ziyuan's intentions. With the tactical literacy of the Japanese army, if there is no favorable terrain to rely on, their father and daughter are easily bitten by the Japanese army.

Although the section from Hubei to Licheng is a mountain road, after passing the canyon, the terrain is a little more open. And the Japanese puppet army dispatched by Hubei converged with this Japanese army, which means that they have sufficient strength and can be deployed and deployed calmly. The Japanese puppet army dispatched to the north of the pot was familiar with the terrain in this area, and unless they regarded their father and daughter as chess pieces, they could only withdraw.

After understanding this, Guo Laosan did not hesitate to take Guo Xiaoshan without the slightest hesitation and retreated back in obedience to the order. It's just that Li Ziyuan's current hand makes Guo Laosan a little confused about what he, the captain, thinks.

It wasn't until the two soldiers who turned around after receiving Li Ziyuan's order and took more than a dozen soldiers to transport a batch of things in a donkey cart with the cooperation of the villagers that Guo Laosan understood what the young captain was going to do. Just looking at these so-called cannons in front of him, Guo Laosan, together with He Huizhang, had a feeling of crying and laughing.

The things that Li Ziyuan asked people to bring up, in addition to a large number of firecrackers and a few iron buckets, there are also three 'doors' that I don't know about the Shenwei invincible general cannon of the former Qing Dynasty left over from that era. If Guo Laosan is not mistaken, these three 'gates' of the great general cannon cast in the pre-Qing period should be in an abandoned pre-Qing period fort at the junction of Hubei and Huguan.

In his cottage in Suixi, he also has two 'gates' such as the mighty invincible general cannon. It's just that this kind of old antique is a pile of garbage in front of the current artillery. Back then, his cottage with such a dangerous terrain was brutally blown up by the Jin Sui army's mountain artillery and heavy mortars.

At that time, the two 'doors' of the general cannon in his stockade were simply a pile of scrap metal compared with the mountain artillery and heavy mortars of the Jin Sui army. At most, when fighting with other villages, it is used to fight those like-minded people who don't pay attention to tactics at close range and have always been swarming and charging.

Competing with the regular army, this maximum 'shooting' range is only a thousand meters, not to mention that it is cumbersome to death, and can only shoot solid bullets or iron sand. In addition to firing with an arquebus, the reaction speed is also quite slow. Now the tactics of the infantry are not the same as in the past, waiting for you to bomb in dense formations. With the tactics of the little devils, this thing is a pile of scrap copper right now.

Facing Guo Laosan and He Huizhang, they didn't know much about each other. Li Ziyuan didn't explain, but after the cannon was cleaned, at a distance of 250 meters, gunpowder, iron sand, stones, and miscellaneous bowls of stubble were put into the muzzle.

At the same time, two of the three 'guns', plus a temporary wooden cannon and a dozen large guns, were placed at a 'cross' fork at a 45-degree angle. The remaining 'door' cannon and three large guns plus a few medium-sized guns were placed in the middle after being stuffed with lead.

However, these three 'doors' of old-fashioned earthen cannons were all covered with soil by Li Ziyuan. The muzzle of the gun was also stalled from the weeds. As long as you don't step on it, you basically can't find these three 'doors' of earth cannons, as well as those who don't know where Li Ziyuan collected them. Looking at Li Ziyuan with more than a dozen fighters, as well as the mobilized masses, where to engage in the east and west, He Huizhang and Guo Laosan shook their heads after glancing at each other.

He Huizhang is a veteran and has a good understanding of the tactics and firepower of the Japanese army. And Guo Laosan, who was born as a horse bandit, did not have any less 'dealings' with the official army, that is, the various miscellaneous armies in Suixi. At present, I have been fighting with the Japanese army for a while, and I know the Japanese army quite well.

With the tactical level and equipment configuration of the Japanese army, even those imported, Dagu-made, Gong-made, and Jin-made Makqin, Czech-style machine guns, and Hanyang-made and Zhongguan could not stop the iron hooves of the Japanese army. Li Ziyuan 'gave' such a bunch of old antiques, plus the earthen cannons used by the common people to fight in the past, can it be useful?

It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't deliberately explain almost everyone's incomprehension. It was only after the deployment was completed and the civilians who came to help were evacuated. Looking at the Japanese camp at the bottom of the mountain, the campfire was lit but said nothing. It's just a weed that has begun to wither and yellow, and I don't know what I'm thinking about there.

And the Japanese puppet army, which had already deployed a guard post on the surrounding hills, was also worried about being attacked. From time to time, shoot a shuttle bullet at any place around where there is any wind and grass around. I don't know if it's emboldening myself or intimidating the attacker. It's better to tell the surrounding Li Ziyuan's subordinates that Lao Tzu is prepared, and you are not afraid of death and will come to attack.

In fact, according to the tactical principles of the Japanese army, the Japanese army should definitely not stay here at this time. Even if you are tired, you should rush directly to the territory of Licheng in one go. In particular, it is less than 30 kilometers away from the territory of Licheng. But Kencho Okazaki was really frightened, for fear that something more terrible would happen to the night march, so he insisted on waiting until after dawn to act.

The new commander of the Japanese army in Hubei was only Hideyoshi Nakata, but he did not come in person this time. At present, this Nakata Shaozo is in Ludong and is commanding the siege of the Ludong Army Division, and he has no time to clone at all. This time he broke through the Dohachi Road attack and came to support, but he was just a lieutenant officer, and he could only obey the orders of this Okazaki Nakasa.
