Although it seems that the enemy and us are fighting inextricably, the expeditionary force's trenches have hidden killing machines, seventy or eighty large oil drums are lined up in the trenches, and the muzzles of the black holes are already aimed at the Japanese troops below, just waiting for an order.

The expeditionary force waited for the Japanese army to advance to the range of unconscionable artillery, etc., and shoot all the invading enemies under the forward position of Meng Gong, so as to achieve the effect of killing and wounding a large number of enemies, so as to weaken the fierce offensive of the Japanese army.

Suddenly, two red signal flares rose into the air, and seventy or eighty black giant shells flew out of the trench in an instant, and then all of them exploded gorgeously in the air, and the enemy's firepower was suddenly reduced by half, but the black shells did not stop there, and one round after another was still pouring out with all their might, and then exploded gorgeously, and the entire Menggong forward position was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of smoke.

Two miles away from Menggong's forward position, Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka, commander of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, was watching the battlefield ahead through a telescope.

The two artillery positions were all destroyed, and even artillery support for the next attack became a luxury, and all they could hope for was that the infantry in front of them could rush to the Meng Gong position and end the war as soon as possible.

Seeing that the time to launch a charge had come, it was a matter of the next second for the imperial army to take the high ground, but suddenly there was a dense bombardment on the position, and the huge fires exploded brightly and strangely. Shinichi Tanaka raised his binoculars in a panic.

"Baga, it's a conscienceless cannon, and that person shamelessly uses a conscienceless cannon! Retreat, retreat quickly! ”

Shinichi Tanaka jumped to his feet and howled, his face full of horror.

When the imperial army attacked the 331 base, Tanaka Shinichi was the division commander of the 104th Division, when the 104th Division was the vanguard force, and was ambushed by Su Peng's third division near Erlong Mountain, and the imperial army of the two brigades was annihilated by Su Peng's third division in an instant, and only a very small number of soldiers fled back. And the thistles filled with the cannonballs scattered in the air, without any dead ends, enough to tear the imperial army to pieces.

Although it is not a high-tech product, it is absolutely terrifying for the lethality of the cluster charge, and the battle of Erlongshan, Tanaka Shinichi still has a residual taboo, so at this moment, when I saw the black giant cannonball flying out of the trench of the expeditionary force again, my legs were weak in an instant.

When the order to retreat was given, Shinichi Tanaka's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his eyes did not leave the forward position. There are three infantry wings in the front, a total of more than 11,000 people, almost all the elite troops of the 38th Division, how much can they come back, at this moment Tanaka Shinichi has no spectrum in his heart, and his nervousness can be understood.

Finally, Tanaka Shinichi saw soldiers rushing out of the smoke screen, gradually converging into a black line in front, and rolling rapidly to the rear, but Tanaka Shinichi, who has been in the army for many years, can see at a glance that the size of the troops in front of him is probably only more than 3,000 people at most, that is to say, there are only so many troops left in this more than 11,000 people.

Fortunately, the planes were still frantically dropping bombs and machine guns on the positions of the expeditionary force, and the expeditionary force had no time to take care of anything else, and won precious time for the retreat of more than 3,000 people; otherwise, the small-caliber artillery of the expeditionary force would have been bombing all the way, or perhaps it would have taken the opportunity to launch a charge and chase all the way, and it would still be a big question mark whether these 3,000 people could finally escape.

Despite this, Tanaka Shinichi's face also turned pale in an instant, the beads of sweat on his face rolled down like raindrops, and his whole body trembled slightly, he knew too well what this defeat in front of him meant to the imperial army in the direction of Meng Gong?

Half an hour later, the Expeditionary Force Yingduo Command.

Leng Rushuang held a telegram in his hand, came down from the telecommunications room on the second floor, and hurried into the hall of the headquarters all the way.

"Commander, good news, the 75th Army won a complete victory at Menggong, annihilated nearly 10,000 enemies, eliminated two field artillery and mountain artillery positions of the Japanese army, and by the way, cleaned up the Japanese ships on the Madeaddy River."

As soon as Leng Rushuang's voice fell, Chief of Staff Huang Jie laughed and said, "Adjutant Leng, your news is too slow, Chen Mianwu's call has already reached the command headquarters just now, and we have already learned about this." ”

"This Chen Mianwu, robbed me of all the limelight?" Leng Rushuang pouted and feigned anger, but her expression was still full of joy, with her identity, of course, she didn't need to be in the limelight, this was just to hide her embarrassment.

"What about the battle damage, is it big?" Jiang Haoran was obviously more concerned about this, and asked anxiously.

Of course, the telephone is faster than the radio, but the exchange of telegrams is only the official document in the army, and when Chen Mianwu reported the good news, these have not yet been counted, and now that the official telegram has come, of course, there will be a detailed report on the battle and battle damage.

Leng Rushuang picked up the telegram and looked at it again, and said: "The 55th Division and the 340th Regiment of the 93rd Division in the forward position of Meng Gong have a total strength of more than 9,300 troops, and more than half of the combat personnel have been reduced, including more than 3,400 killed and more than 1,500 lightly and seriously wounded. The heavy artillery regiment suffered more than 200 casualties, and 10 of the 20 heavy howitzers remained, and again lost half of them, and they used up all the shells. ”

This battle damage is really nothing compared to the victory in front of him, and it can even be said to be a bit against the sky, this time Jiang Haoran didn't say anything, just frowned and seemed to mutter: "The Japanese aviation is really fucking unusual, in this case, they still threw the aerial bombs on the head of our artillery regiment, and still caused us such a big casualty?" ”

Leng Rushuang said: "Oh, this telegram also mentioned that the Japanese army began to bomb from the north and south, and indeed did not pose any threat to them, and the aerial bombs were basically all thrown into the ravine, but the Japanese army later changed the direction of the dive bombing and dived from the east and west, not to mention the immediate improvement of accuracy, and directly avoided the danger of injuring their own people." ”

"He's not stupid!" Jiang Haoran scolded with a smile.

There was a relaxed laughter in the room, and then, Huang Jie said: "I think Meng Gong's threat is temporarily lifted, the Japanese army has suffered heavy losses and lost artillery support, and it should not be able to organize a large-scale attack in the short term. ”

Jiang Haoran said with a straight face: "No, Chief of Staff, Meng Gong's direction cannot be relaxed at all, and Chen Mianwu must be reminded to pay close attention to it and actively take precautions, although it is a fact that the Japanese army has no artillery support, but in front of Meng Gong is the establishment of three divisions of the Japanese army, today plus yesterday, it will hurt at most one division, the other two divisions are full of combat effectiveness, the road of artillery cover charge is broken, the only way they can get close to the front is to sneak attack, and to launch a sneak attack on unobstructed terrain, it can only be night, Therefore, the threat of Meng Gong has shifted from day to night, the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, and the battle at night is even more difficult to control, so it can be said that the threat has just begun. ”

Leng Rushuang hurriedly said: "Then what to do, now we can no longer draw troops to support Meng Gong, two divisions of the 75th Army have been completely disabled, and the remaining two divisions themselves have suffered a lot of casualties, if the Japanese army really has a large-scale night attack, once it succeeds, the situation will be irreversible." “

Saying this, Huang Jie also panicked, and said hurriedly: "Yes, General Seat, Meng Gong now has Peng Bisheng's 49th Division and Sun Liren's new 38th Division left, if the Japanese army really gathers superior forces for a large-scale night attack, in terms of strength alone, we really don't have an advantage?" ”

Jiang Haoran was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Although the threat exists, it will not reach the point where the situation is uncontrollable, order Chen Mianwu to build more unconscionable artillery, put the news post far away, and pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army in time, as long as it is not directly touched by the Japanese army into the forward position, with the large-scale lethality of the unconscionable artillery, it should be able to block the Japanese attack." ”

Although Jiang Haoran said this, in fact, he didn't have a little bottom in his heart, although the close-range lethality of the unconscionable cannon was powerful, but the second time it was used, the Japanese army would definitely take precautions, although the heavy artillery of the Japanese army was destroyed, but there were artillery brigades under each wing of the Japanese army, and there were artillery squadrons under each brigade, and there were artillery squads under the squadrons, and the artillery fire at close range was still strong. This possibility exists.

However, there is no better way for him to solve these problems at the moment, and everything can only depend on the creation of the 75th Army. What Jiang Haoran can do, that is, send all the automatic firepower transported from India in the past two days to Meng Gong, although the Stern submachine gun equipped by the British army is inferior to AK47 in terms of firepower and firing range, but it is also a continuous assault rifle, close assault, compared to the Japanese army's 38 big cover power is simply not at the same level, it is impossible to equip a division, but there is no problem in equipping one or two regiments, this is probably the only support that Jiang Haoran can give to the 75th Army now.

In two days, the enemy attacked only twice at Menggong, but at the Xidang front, there were probably thirty or forty large and small attacks.

The Xidang frontier is densely jungled, the terrain is complex, and there is only one road into Yingduo, so all the battles are fought around the Ying-Xi highway, and the battlefield is basically limited to the jungle on both sides of the highway and the road in front of it, and the entire area is less than ten miles.

Because whether it is the direction of the Indian border in the west or the direction of the Inovady River in the east, it is a vast primeval forest, which is not suitable for the deployment of large troops at all, and the entry of small troops cannot solve the problem, even if the large troops are forcibly driven in, the supply will become the biggest problem for the troops, so in the past two days, the two troops have been strangled in this square inch.
