When Xiao Yifei was presiding over the meeting and studying the search for the main force of the Japanese army to strike at it, Major Song received a telegram from Xue Yue, who asked Xiao Yifei to take the team south to find the Japanese heavy artillery base south of the Laodao River and destroy it, and the Japanese heavy artillery base was suspected to be in an area between Ansha and the orchard.

Xiao Yifei immediately suspended the meeting, unfolded the map, and everyone focused on the area mentioned in the telegram. Xiao Yifei's current area is not far from the target area, only about thirty miles away. In other words, the rocket launchers can hit there without moving.

Xiao Yifei said to everyone, I and Die'er, Xue Shiyu, Li Shanshan, Dong Ying, Zhao Zihao, and I, we went out of the target area in two ways to find the Japanese heavy artillery base, and once any of them were found, they would contact the other way, and then notify Lin Hu to launch an attack on it. Boss Dai is at home.

Xiao Yifei and his entourage approached the Yuehan Line to the Ansha area, and Zhao Zihao and his entourage went directly to the orchard area. It only took about 20 minutes for Xiao Yifei and his entourage to reach the vicinity of Ansa. Xiao Yifei uses super hearing to listen to the sound of cannon fire and judge the location of the cannon base.

It was preliminarily determined to be ten miles east of Ansha.

Xiao Yifei and his entourage immediately moved to the east side.

Soon Xiao Yifei discovered the Japanese heavy artillery base.

Xiao Yifei asked Dong Ying to contact Zhao Zihao, told Zhao Zihao the general location of the heavy artillery base, and asked Zhao Zihao to come over quickly.

When Zhao Zihao and Xiao Yifei converged, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhao Zihao asked the team members to observe the heavy artillery base with binoculars, and after marking the location of the heavy artillery base on the chart, they took a relay method and used a walkie-talkie to inform Lin Hu of the situation.

Lin Hu hurriedly took out the same chart as Zhao Zihao, and marked the coordinates of the heavy artillery base on it.

The heavy artillery base is now lit with bonfires everywhere, and the heavy artillery lurks there like a monster, as if it will open its mouth and devour everything at any moment.

The heavy artillery base occupies a radius of three kilometers, and twenty heavy artillery pieces are scattered and deployed, each with tents set up next to it, and the artillerymen and related personnel are obviously resting in the tents, and there are groups of soldiers walking around between the tents. After observing the number of tents, Xiao Yifei preliminarily concluded that the Japanese army protecting the artillery would not be less than one squadron.

Of course, no matter how many people protect the artillery, they are just lambs to the slaughter in front of long-range rocket artillery.

Xiao Yifei has a principle, what can be solved with rocket artillery, there is absolutely no need to waste energy to take action in person.

The heavy artillery strike distance is also very long, at least more than five kilometers, and even seven or eight kilometers. Therefore, even if Xue Yue's army wanted to destroy the Japanese army's heavy artillery base, it could only dream.

Once the 20 heavy artillery pieces are fired in a salvo, no matter how strong the positions of the national army are, they will be blown into powder, and if they strike at the national army's concentration area, a division of the national army will be easily defeated.

The Japanese army is powerful because of its advanced weapons, with planes in the sky and heavy artillery and tanks on the ground. If, like the Battle of Shanggao, Xiao Yifei's team could destroy the Japanese heavy artillery, the Japanese would be equivalent to having their teeth pulled out.

Just when Xiao Yifei was preparing for the destruction of the Japanese heavy artillery base, the chief of staff of the Japanese 11th Army, Kinoshita, was still talking to Anan Wei on the phone at this time, and neither of them would have dreamed that Xiao Yifei's rocket artillery had been aimed at the Japanese army's heavy artillery base, and they were talking on the phone to discuss the fact that the front-line command was terminated by unknown forces.

They didn't know until now that it was Xiao Yifei's team who destroyed the Japanese army's transportation line and terminated the Japanese army's front-line headquarters. Because in their minds, it is impossible for a small guerrilla force to possess such a powerful and magical long-range strike weapon, and they think that a small unit of the US military has come to Changsha with the most marching weapon in the world.

Oh, yes! At that time, the level of weapons development in China was extremely backward, mainly because the level of industrial manufacturing was extremely low.

The Chinese army did not have a single heavy artillery, not even field artillery.

Modern Chinese think that making cannons is extremely simple, but at that time, it was as difficult as the blue sky, and if nothing else, just say that the barrel of the cannon, there was no ability to manufacture it at all.

Of course, the main reason why Xiao Yifei directly developed rocket artillery was that they did not have the ability to manufacture cannon barrels. It was precisely because they did not have the ability to make cannon barrels that they took a different path, abandoning the cannon barrel and using gunpowder through the shell itself, which continued to explode and jet backwards to generate flight power.

Coincidentally, due to technological limitations, they took advantage of their own advantages to develop the most advanced rocket artillery in the world at that time, several years earlier than the Soviet Katyusha rocket artillery. Of course, not long after, Germany also successfully developed rocket artillery, but due to various reasons, in actual combat, Germany's rocket artillery did not exert its due power.

But in the Chinese battlefield, due to the lack of heavy weapons in the Chinese army, Xiao Yifei's rocket artillery became the last magic weapon of the Ninth War Zone, and at the most critical moment, Xue Yue personally sent a telegram to Xiao Yifei, asking Xiao Yifei to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery base.

The commander of the 11th Japanese Army, Yuki Anami, asked Chief of Staff Kinoshita on the phone: "Since the plane has discovered the target, why don't you immediately send ground troops to follow up?" ”

Chief of Staff Kinoshita sighed and said, "Where is it? As soon as the plane found the target, it was just about to drop the bomb, and within a few minutes, the target disappeared into the dense forest. ”

Anan Weiji sighed and said: "The logistics and transportation lines are paralyzed, and the front-line troops lack supplies, how can they maintain high-intensity fighting?" You'll have to figure it out for me. There are also front-line command positions that have been eliminated by unknown forces, who will coordinate the fighting at the front? You hurry up and find a way to solve it. ”

Chief of Staff Kinoshita sighed and said, "Your Excellency, you are now in the most serious predicament, and there is no way to solve the two points you just mentioned for the time being. The only way is to use heavy artillery to deal a powerful blow to the enemy in front of you, and find a way to achieve a quick victory. The war is extremely difficult to maintain, and we cannot fight for a few days. We must hurry to prepare for a full retreat, and we must prevent accidents. ”

Anan asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by accident?" ”

Chief of Staff Kinoshita sighed and said: "The Chinese army cut off the retreat of our army, surrounded our army, and did not give our army a chance to retreat. ”

Anan Weiji wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said loudly: "Then quickly notify all divisions and regiments to prepare for a comprehensive retreat." Now that it's too late to withdraw, I can report to the Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters by achieving the goal of containing the Chinese army and successfully completing the task. Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, hastened to order a retreat. ”

Chief of Staff Kinoshita shouted, "Yes! Your Excellency, Commander, however, it is now dark night, and the divisions and regiments are fighting together with the Chinese army, and if they take advantage of the darkness to withdraw, it will inevitably cause chaos and the consequences will be unimaginable. We must wait for after dawn for our military to bomb with planes, bombard with heavy artillery, and feign an attack on all fronts to force the Chinese troops to retreat before we can calmly withdraw. ”

Chief of Staff Kinoshita is really a military strategist, and he wants to attack even when he retreats.

However, no matter how resourceful and military the chief of staff of the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders is, no matter how resourceful and military talent is, meeting Xiao Yifei and his team is equivalent to meeting a nemesis. When Chief of Staff Kinoshita was about to ask the Yueyang Staff Headquarters to send a report to all divisions and regiments to convey the retreat order of Commander Anan Weiji, a staff officer hurriedly ran over with a telegram, Chief of Staff Kinoshita saw that the expression of the staff officer was wrong, and he did not wait for the report, and took a look at the telegram, his face turned pale instantly, and his legs shook, and the staff officer hurriedly supported Chief of Staff Kinoshita, who slowly sat on the sofa and read the telegram carefully.

The telegram said that the heavy artillery base was hit by unknown fire from a long distance, and the unknown fire was super powerful, and many heavy artillery pieces had been blown up, and the blow of unknown fire was still continuing, and it was very likely that all the heavy artillery and security personnel of the heavy artillery base would be shattered.

The chief of staff of the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders hurriedly said to the staff officer: "Bring the telephone." ”

The staff officer brought the telephone, and Chief of Staff Kinoshita shook Commander Anan and said to Commander Anan Weiji: "Your Excellency, Commander, just now, just now, our heavy artillery base is being hit by unidentified firepower, and it is very likely that all the heavy artillery will be destroyed. ”

Anan Weiji screamed: "Huh? Hurry up and order a retreat on all fronts, retreat overnight! ”

Kinoshita stood up and said in a trembling voice, "Yes! ”

Kinoshita slowly put down the microphone and said to the staff officer: "Send a report to the divisions and regiments, and say that His Excellency the commander ordered the troops to retreat overnight. ”
