The 3rd Division of the Japanese Army was a division regiment of the first type, which not only had a large number of mountain artillery field guns, but also had fifteen 155-mm heavy guns. Takeda did not use 155mm heavy artillery to attack Li Xianghe's position, but used it to ambush Xiao Yifei, which can also be seen from this point that Takeda attaches great importance to Xiao Yifei.

Fifteen 155-mm heavy guns were covered with camouflage nets, and in a small wood, slowly advanced to a point not far from the mountains, and were erected. Several Japanese detachments went out into the mountainous area, observed all directions in the mountainous area with binoculars, and were ready to report the position of the heavy artillery positions about the rocket artillery at any time. As soon as Xiao Yifei's long-range rocket artillery fired, fifteen heavy artillery guns fired a salvo of giant shells at the position where the rocket came from.

Takeda was at the headquarters, focusing all his attention on the mountains. He looked at the map and gestured with a metal rod to estimate the approximate coordinates of the area where the rocket launchers were located.

The chief of staff whispered: "Your Excellency, judging from the direction of the attack on our army last night, the location of Xiao Yifei's artillery should be in the direction of the ambush of our army's heavy artillery at 10 o'clock, about ten kilometers away. ”

Takeda nodded and said, "Yes!" I think so too. It's a pity that our thousands of imperial troops may be hit by Xiao Yifei's cannonballs first. ”

The chief of staff sighed and said, "I can't bear the children to catch the wolf, if the imperial army can contribute to our destruction and elimination of Xiao Yifei, they will die as they deserve." ”

Takeda's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Then it depends on the degree of cooperation between our observers and the heavy artillery, and the target coordinates must be found at the first time when Xiao Yifei fires the cannon, and the heavy artillery can fire a salvo at the target in the shortest time." You need to focus on this. ”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes!" I put all my energy on eliminating Xiao Yifei. ”

Takeda nodded and said: "That's right, if Xiao Yifei doesn't get rid of it, I can't feel at ease, and it will be impossible for our army to kill Yingtan boldly and with confidence." ”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes!" In the Battle of Changsha, our army's retreat was blocked by Xiao Yifei's artillery fire, Xiao Yi's artillery fire was too powerful. It must be eliminated, it must be completely eliminated. ”

Takeda asked, "Where has the front team arrived?" ”

The chief of staff looked at the map, pointed to the map, and whispered: "I have arrived at the guerrilla position of the New Fourth Army, and preparations are being made for the attack. ”

Takeda said: "Order, use mountain artillery, field artillery, heavy mortars, and heavy mortars to bombard first, and strive to blow up the guerrilla positions of the New Fourth Army. If you can use the team in charge of feints, seizing the position is also a big victory. ”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "Yes!" I immediately gave the order to attack. ”

There was not much difference between the Japanese feint attack and the main attack, and after a round of artillery fire preparation for more than ten minutes, a wing of Japanese troops launched an attack on the frontal fortifications of Li Xianghe's team, which was eight miles wide.

What the Japanese army never dreamed of was that a large number of mines were planted in front of Li Xianghe's fortifications, and more than 500 Japanese vanguard troops were trapped by mines as soon as they rushed to the front of the position. Hundreds of Japanese devils were injured and killed by the mines, and the rest were dumbfounded by the bombing, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

Li Xianghe ordered the machine gunners to shoot at the Japanese devils lying on the ground.

The number of casualties in the vanguard of the Japanese army was increasing.

When Takeda got the report, he almost went mad, how could the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army have mines? In any case, the offensive could only be suspended, and demining was elevated to the most important position, and if it was not cleared, all the Japanese troops who rushed forward would have died.

Takeda could only ask the chief of staff to send sappers to the position to clear the mines.

This mine is not easy to arrange! Although Li Xianghe's team's rifles are out of reach, the machine guns can kill all the demining officers and soldiers! In order to protect the demining officers and soldiers and the Japanese vanguard who were suppressed by machine guns, Takeda could only order Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns to suppress Li Xianghe's team.

Thousands of Japanese troops preparing to attack stayed not far from Li Xianghe's fortifications, waiting for new orders.

Of course, all this could not escape the eyes of Xiao Yifei and Zhao Zihao, and Xiao Yifei ordered Zhao Zihao to quickly let Tang Guozhong carry out a long-range rocket artillery strike on the assembled Japanese army.

Tang Guozhong's long-range rocket artillery fired long-range rocket shells at the Japanese assembly area on a mountain 10 kilometers away, and one rocket after another flew towards the Japanese army cluster with a long tail flame, and exploded violently in the middle of the Japanese army, and the Japanese soldiers were blown up all over the field, and the ghosts cried wolf.

On the phone, Takeda ignored the fact that the soldiers in front of him were suffering a large number of casualties, but asked the observers, and found that Xiao Yifei had not fired the shell?

After receiving a clear answer, Takeda ordered loudly: "Give me artillery bombardment and blow up Xiao Yifei!" ”

Fifteen 155-mm guns hiding in the woods, took off their camouflage, loaded huge shells, and under the coordination of the commander, calibrated the angle of the barrel, calculated the amount of advancing gunpowder, and when everything was ready, the commander gave a loud order: "Fire!" ”

Fifteen heavy artillery shells whizzed towards Tang Guozhong's group.

Huge shells fell on the hillside, shaking the ground, and each shell could blow a large area flat, and countless branches and leaves of trees flew in the air, and some of them caught fire.

Tang Guozhong ordered to disassemble the rocket artillery and move it immediately.

Within three minutes, the rocket artillery was dismantled, and in the rumbling sound of the Japanese army, Tang Guozhong led the team over the hill, and all of them lay on the anticline of the hill.

Even lying on the anticline of the mountain, the team members were still shocked to the point that their limbs felt like they were falling apart.

Xiao Yifei looked at the direction of the Japanese artillery shells and knew that they were flying to Tang Guozhong's group, and he was taken aback.

Xiao Yifei had to give a thumbs up to the Japanese army, and Tang Guozhong's team fired only two rounds of rocket shells, and the Japanese heavy artillery was able to immediately counterattack, which shows how high the Japanese artillery literacy is.

Xiao Yifei hurriedly ordered Dong Ying to call Tang Guozhong with a walkie-talkie, but when he got no response, he ordered Zhao Zihao's walkie-talkie to run to Tang Guozhong, and he could only use the walkie-talkie relay to contact Tang Guozhong.

Until he gets a response from Tang Guozhong, Xiao Yifei is not prepared to take any action.

Half an hour later, news came from Zhao Zihao's walkie-talkie that Tang Guozhong's group was safe and sound, and Xiao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Xiao Yifei ordered Tang Guozhong's group to move Wuli Road to the east and lay an ambush in the mountains and forests to prevent a sneak attack by the Japanese special forces, and ordered Gu Yulin's military commander to strengthen defense.

After Xiao Yifei gave the order, he turned to look at a small forest a few kilometers away from his location.

Xiao Yifei said to everyone: "Wait for dark, now you can only let the Japanese army be crazy there, the Japanese army has artillery shells anyway, let them fight!" We rest. ”

Die'er whispered, "Brother, why don't you let me go and knock out the Japanese heavy artillery?" ”

Xiao Yifei shook his head with a wry smile and said: "We look down from the mountain, we feel very close, in fact, it is not less than six miles away, it is impossible for the Japanese heavy artillery to be unprotected, if we attack rashly, wouldn't we be caught in the net?" Even if we can defeat the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, it is impossible for us to get rid of the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. ”

Gu Yulin whispered: "You can't let the Japanese heavy artillery bully people like this, right?" ”

Xiao Yifei shook his head and said: "Wait patiently for dark, after dark, we can quietly touch it and destroy the Japanese heavy artillery." ”

Zhao Zihao whispered: "What if the Japanese army transfers the heavy artillery? ”

Xiao Yifei smiled bitterly and said: "If the Japanese heavy artillery is transferred, we can only find another opportunity." Thanks to the fact that the Japanese did not have a close-range observation post this time, they could not fully grasp the position of Tang Guozhong's group, and the Japanese artillery fire was only a blind fire, and if it had been aimed and hit, and had had the opportunity to calibrate the target position, Tang Guozhong's group would have been suspended this time. ”

Gu Yulin whispered: "To attack the Japanese heavy artillery base at night, we still have to prepare other weapons. ”

Xiao Yifei said: "Go to Li Xianghe's team to get grenades, and the only way to destroy the Japanese infantry is to use guns and grenades. At the same time, Li Xianghe sent 200 guerrillas to assist us in carrying out our mission at night. After we fired the rockets, the Japanese infantry would definitely pursue us, and there must be a team to stop the Japanese troops. Li Xianghe's team had to carry two light machine guns, and the firepower was weak, and we still couldn't go. ”

Gu Yulin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll handle this matter." ”

Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

When Xiao Yifei was waiting in the woods to eat dry cakes with water, Dong Ying's transmitter had a prompt, so she quickly put down what she was eating, called the telegraph, and received it.

Dong Ying translated the telegram on the manuscript paper and handed it to Xiao Yifei, who was eating cakes, Xiao Yifei took it and looked at it, so excited that he almost threw away the cakes in his hand, it turned out that this was a telegram sent by Gu Yulin's dispatcher brought by Zhou Gaoyuan's group, when the Japanese army flew over, they failed to seize the opportunity to strike, and when the Japanese plane flew back to Nanchang Airport, it was caught by Zhou Gaoyuan's group, and successfully destroyed 15 Japanese planes, only two or three escaped.

After crossing Qinglan Lake, the Japanese planes even flew in formation, and when about 20 Japanese planes were assembled in the sky and flying triumphantly, Zhou Gaoyuan's group, which had been waiting for a long time on the route that the Japanese planes had to pass, immediately opened fire on the Japanese bomber cluster, and one rocket after another exploded in the Japanese planes. The second round of rocket shells flew up again and exploded again, and the Japanese plane was blown to pieces. Many pilots didn't even have the opportunity to skydive, and they were blown up along with the plane.

Xiao Yifei was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Dong Ying to send a report to Lin Hu and Zhou Gaoyuan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your great victory, return immediately." ”

When Dong Ying wanted to send the report, Xiao Yifei said again: "Wait a minute, hurry up and send a telegram to Boss Dai, so that he can also have fun, it is estimated that Chongqing will be happy in a while." Let's just say that our unit successfully destroyed 15 Japanese bombers. ”

Dong Ying asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "Enough, there is no need to describe the details, they originally only focused on the result." ”

Dong Ying nodded again and again and said, "Yes!" I'll send it right away. ”

In the temporary headquarters of the 11th Army in Nanchang, Tsukada, who regarded himself as a military strategist, was stunned when he received the news that the bomber group had been destroyed.

Tsukada shouted wildly: "Hurry up and send a brigade of infantry to the side of Poyang Lake to find the location of the enemy's artillery fire!" ”

It's a pity that Tsukada gave the order too late now, because after Zhou Gaoyuan's group received Xiao Yifei's telegram, they immediately boarded the boat and moved along the lake shore to the Dongxiang side. It would take at least two or three hours for the Japanese search team to arrive, and by that time Zhou Gaoyuan's group would have almost landed on the other side.

Xiao Yifei's people are very flexible in fighting, how can they stay where they are waiting to be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army after they shoot down the Japanese plane? I'm sure I'll be far away!
