Chapter 559: Meat Grinder (2)
Jinhua, the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army.
The telephones and telegrams in the telecommunications room were ticking non-stop, and the staff generals were shuttling back and forth between the headquarters and the telecommunications room, and a group of staff officers and generals were surrounding a huge sand table, constantly pushing the sun flag to the front according to the battle reports provided by the front.
Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba and Lieutenant General Shinichi Tanaka stood in front of the sand table, staring at the changes in the sand table, fine beads of sweat could be seen on their foreheads, and their hands were sometimes embraced and sometimes put down, and it could be seen that they were very nervous.
"Report!" A Zhongzuo staff officer flashed in quickly, his face full of joy: "Front-line emergency, the 13th Wing of the Sixth Division of our Imperial Army has broken through the Dajianling defense line and successfully destroyed more than ten enemy pillboxes!" ”
The entire headquarters suddenly fell silent, and then erupted into a tsunami of carnival, clapping, laughing, and spilling documents and telegrams into the air, and even several officers of Nakasa Osaku fell to their knees and shouted long live the emperor, tears and snot flying everywhere.
Shiro Inaba and Shinichi Tanaka also waved their short arms and howled, and happiness caught them off guard.
It took a long time for Shiro Inaba to return to normal, and the baton slapped the table loudly to make the group of extremely excited generals stop the noise.
"Order, the infantry cavalry immediately charged, and took the Lishui base in one fell swoop!"
"Hay!"
Shinichi Tanaka pointed to the sky and said with a playful face, "Inaba-kun, I think it's time for them to go home and rest?" ”
In order to guard against Qin Feng's heavy artillery, hundreds of fighters and bombers of the imperial army circled over Jinhua in batches, just waiting for the heavy artillery of the base to appear, they would give Qin Feng a fatal blow at the fastest speed, but now that the imperial army has broken through the enemy's defense line, there is really no need for this, after all, they have consumed too much in this battle.
"Yo Xi!" Shiro Inaba nodded in agreement.
Qin Feng didn't expect that his decision against the sky would not only kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent, but also save his heavy artillery brigade from a catastrophe.
But he also didn't expect that his decision almost wiped out Dong Yeyang's Third Division.
The three basement floors of the Great Jianling Fort.
The lieutenant colonel staff officer was reporting to Qin Feng that more than 1,000 Japanese troops had broken through the defensive line, the deputy commander of the Fifth Division with the reserves had already caught fire with the enemy, and Sun Xingzheng was rushing to support with the guard regiment.
Qin Feng waved his hand to signal the staff officer to leave, although his face looked very calm, but the few fingers of his right hand kept bounceing on the galloping table, and they were getting faster and faster, and even a pair of feet trembled slightly.
He even regretted it a little, this bet is really a bit big, maybe the Japanese army did not ambush at all, it was too suspicious, if there were, such a long distance of attack, the Japanese army should have appeared a long time ago, otherwise the time for the ambush to reach the attack position, it is better to gather the stragglers on the battlefield quickly, and it will not achieve the effect of surprise at all.
Qin Feng raised his head suddenly, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he seemed to have made up his mind and was ready to close the net.
Suddenly, a lieutenant colonel staff officer ran in in a panic and stammered: "Horse enemy horse!" ”
"Horse, what are you? Let's talk about it after we get it sorted out! Qin Feng scolded loudly.
Without waiting for the lieutenant colonel staff officer to speak, Zhang Quming strode in, and gave Qin Feng a thumbs up with a happy face: "You have won, the enemy's cavalry has appeared in the valley, it is simply ten thousand horses galloping, and there are two people on horseback, it seems that they want to send the infantry to the front line at the safest time and the fastest speed, and catch us off guard!" ”
"Hahaha! That's right, foot cavalry? Haha, it's up to them to figure it out? Qin Feng stroked his palms, and then his expression turned grim, and his face was very hideous: "Order: Heavy artillery brigade, open fire." Command: Open all bunkers and close the nets. ”
A minute later, two blue flares were raised.
In the mountains two kilometers away from the front of the base.
The bombing of the Japanese army and the fires in the mountains and forests have long made this place desolate, and the black stumps of the black soil that have not been burned out tell the desolate story of the past disaster.
Suddenly, without warning, the perimeter of a tree stump collapsed, forming a large diagonal cavity, and the stump extended inward inward, and it was a straight piercing barrel, thicker than the mouth of a bowl.
This is the artillery position of the heavy artillery brigade of the Lishui base, and more than 80 heavy guns with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters are scattered in a radius of one kilometer.
Slopes and ravines are everywhere, just seeking concealment and not discipline.
Less than a minute after the flares were lifted into the air, the shells of the cluster also began to rise into the air.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu" dozens of kilograms of shells dragged the tail flame in the north and south directions.
The main battlefield of the Great and Small Jianling Ridges.
The 13th Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army successfully broke through the defensive line, but the Japanese infantry in various parts of the front line were not in a hurry to move closer behind them, except for the artillery units that were still suppressing the fire on the fortress, the other infantry were prostrate on the spot, and some even dug anti-artillery holes.
It was not until a large number of Japanese cavalry appeared on the main battlefield that the units began to converge and there was a great tendency to move forward.
The cavalry brigade composed of the cavalry wings of the three divisions of the Japanese army totaled more than 5,000 horsemen, and each horse was two people, all of whom had a cold and murderous expression. The Oriental horse is tall and strong, explosive, although the weight is not light, but the speed is still amazing, the iron hooves fly on the mane fluttering, the rolled up yellow dust covers the sky and the sun, the whole earth seems to be trembling, the real momentum is compelling.
Suddenly, a piercing screech sounded in the sky, and even the shocking sound of horses' hooves could not cover it. Of course, these battle-hardened Japanese soldiers knew that this was the sound of artillery shells, and just by listening to the sound, they knew that this caliber could not be lowered, and many people began to look into the sky with a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Boom, boom!"
The cannonball exploded at the tail of the cavalry wing, and the strong shock wave made the dozens of horsemen at the tail of the team turn over on their backs, and the frightened war horses immediately scattered in all directions, fortunately, the shells did not extend the bombardment, and the captain of the Japanese cavalry wing who walked in the team, Kurokijima, finally subdued the war horse after several twists and turns, and looked back, although the shells were dense and violent, they were bombarded behind them a mile away, and as far as the eye could see, they actually formed a brilliant semicircle.
Kurogijima couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said in a lost voice: "Is this the artillery of the Shina Army?" How is it more like setting off fireworks to welcome the imperial army? ”
Kurogijima laughed wildly, and it took a long time to raise the command knife in his hand and howl loudly: "Imperial warriors, the people of China are welcoming us in a unique way, let's attack!" ”
"Attack! Offensive! Offensive! ”
The sound of the tsunami and the laughter of the mountains suddenly sounded on the battlefield, which almost covered the sound of artillery in the distance. The cavalry began to whip their horses forward and continue to charge.
"Boom, boom!"
Without any warning, suddenly there were explosions everywhere on the battlefield, and there was fire everywhere, followed by "Da Da Da, Da!" "The machine gun roared, and it tends to be more and more dense.
