Chapter 695: A Sea of Fire
To say that Tanaka Shinichi's tactical literacy is still good, although he doubted that the correct judgment of the 75th Army of the expeditionary force that had retreated from the Hukang River Valley was vetoed by the Southern Army Command, but it did not let him give up, Jiang Haoran suddenly attacked Mina at night, he immediately smelled a little smell from it, strengthened his judgment, and launched the order to attack very resolutely.
Half an hour later, several crisp gunshots were heard in the Hukang River Valley, which instantly broke the silence of the night, and then the machine guns also rang out.
Tanaka Shinichi looked focused, he could hear that the previous few gunshots were all fired by the Imperial Army's 38 Dagai, and the machine gun behind it was also the Imperial Army's crooked machine gun, he was basically sure that this was the Imperial Army's vanguard began a tentative attack. In the minutes after the gunshots, there was not the slightest movement on the position of the expeditionary force, even if they retreated, it was impossible not to leave a broken army, could it be that Jiang Haoran also set up an empty city.
Just when Tanaka Shinichi was suspicious, suddenly, the sound of gunfire and explosions was loud, and the position of the expeditionary force emitted a dense stream of fire, which was very dazzling in the dark night, and the firepower was very powerful, and the sound of rifles and machine guns of the imperial army was easily covered.
Nishimura Lewin immediately exclaimed, "Tanaka-kun, I'm afraid that the army on the other side is far from the broken rear troops you think, judging from their firepower configuration, the troops on the first line of defense are all regiment-level units?" ”
Shinichi Tanaka: "How do you know? ”
Nishimura Liwen said: "It's very simple, you look at their continuous firepower, it is all light and heavy machine guns, and an infantry battalion of that army can be equipped with six heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, which is definitely the elite of the elite, but now we can see that the light and heavy machine gun firepower is at least more than forty, which means that the strength of the first line of defense is close to the regimental level, and to hold the Hukang River Valley, at least three lines of defense must be arranged, and the back line of defense is definitely thicker than the force on the front line of defense, that is, At the very least, the strength of the Zhina Army in the Hukang River Valley has exceeded the brigade-level units, and perhaps your assumption is not true, the 75th Army is still in the Hukang River Valley. ”
Shinichi Tanaka always had a smile on his face, and listened patiently to Nishimura Riwin's words, but instead of answering him in a hurry, he ordered the herald to immediately inquire about the battle at the front line.
Soon after, the soldiers returned to report that they had just sent a small squad of the Fortieth Wing for a tentative attack, and that the enemy had attacked before the troops had even reached shore, and that the fire was so strong that they were forced to retreat.
Tanaka Shinichi sneered, and then answered Nishimura Riwin's question, and said, "Nishimura-kun, although your analysis is very reasonable, it just shows that the enemy's strength is insufficient, and a squad of imperial troops is also worthy of them to deal with with such powerful firepower?" They are just bluffing, trying to prove their strength and scare the imperial army into not daring to act rashly, but I may not let them do so? ”
After Tanaka Shinichi finished speaking, regardless of what Nishimura Riwin thought, he ordered the herald to pass the order, and the mountain artillery and field artillery wings immediately opened fire, and the time was ten minutes, and the 40th Wing quickly crossed the river with the cover of artillery fire and launched an attack on the whole line, while the engineer wing was desperate to build a pontoon bridge.
A few minutes later, the dense artillery shells dragged a long tail flame and emitted a terrifying scream, raining down from the east bank of the Hukang River valley to the forward positions of the expeditionary forces on the west bank.
Ten minutes later, the artillery attack finally stopped, the battlefield was filled with smoke and clouds, the embers had not been extinguished, and the officers and men of the expeditionary force began to crawl out of the trenches and anti-artillery holes one by one, and there were suddenly chaotic shouts on the position.
"Little devil, your grandmother!"
"Ah, my legs, my legs are missing!"
"Lao Gen, Xiao Zhao, where are you, are you still alive?"
"Ergou, Ergou, what's wrong with you? Medic, where are the medics"

In the middle of the trench, Tian Long, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 75th Army, drilled out of the anti-artillery hole, and spit out a few mouthfuls of sand and gravel in his mouth, and immediately opened his throat and howled everyone to hurry into the position and prepare for battle.
It is now the dry season, the width of the river is only more than 100 meters, with this ten minutes of artillery blockade, the Japanese army has enough time to cross the river, in fact, the terrain of the battlefield is several meters higher than the riverbed, the field of vision is relatively broad, Tian Long has faintly felt that there are people on the river beach, so he is ready to order the artillery company to do a few artillery first, and then say, it has been bombed by the Japanese army for so long, so it is better to collect some interest and come back. In the past, as long as he called, the herald would simply answer behind him, and the little guy was only eighteen years old and very clever. But after calling several times today, there was no response, which made him look around.
Finally let him find the little guy lying in the trench not far ahead, the collapsed sand buried half of his body, Tian Long estimated that the little guy was afraid of being stunned, walked over and kicked him without moving, suddenly his face changed, he felt that something was wrong, he stretched out his hand to pull him, but even his whole body was lifted, only to find out where he was buried by sand, the whole person was only half of the person left, all from the waist down was invisible, and the mushy internal organs suddenly poured out with a bang and flowed all over the ground.
"Little monkey!" Tian Long screamed, then slapped his head, and scolded in a hurry: "Little devil, Lao Tzu can't kill you!" ”
Immediately, Tian Long turned around, pointed at a guard and said, "You, go back to the command headquarters and call and immediately notify the artillery company to fire a salvo." ”
The guard suddenly agreed, immediately turned around and left, the headquarters was not far away, only a few dozen meters away from Tian Long, just because of the inspection of defense, it was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, Tian Long hid in the nearest anti-artillery hole, I didn't expect that he was dodging the bombing, but the herald was blown in two.
"{Woooo Six shells flew past the forward position with a scream, and then exploded on the river beach, and by the light of the artillery fire, Tian Long was shocked to find that the river beach was already densely packed with Japanese troops.
Tian Long once again ordered a guard to give the order, and half of the base of the artillery company fired rapidly, confirming that the Japanese army had really attacked, and there were not a few troops, in order to relieve the pressure on the first battalion at the front, and at the same time let them have some time to prepare for battle, Tian Long did not hesitate to smash half of the base number of shells.
You must know that the entire artillery company has only three base shells, this is still Tian Long and the acting army commander Chen Mianwu died grinding hard bubbles, although in the evening to destroy a wing of the Japanese army, the guns are not old and young, but the enemy's artillery fire has been destroyed into scrap copper and rotten iron by the indiscriminate bombardment of helicopters, and the shells are basically destroyed, the foundation of the 75th Army is already thin, and Chen Mianwu can give Tian Long three base shells is already very face-saving.
