Chapter 585: Digging the embankment
In the valley two kilometers behind the Loess Ridge, the artillery positions of the Security Regiment Army.
Xu Biao urgently summoned all the cadres above the company level to give a lecture.
"Huh! Tonight's battle is related to the life and death of the base, you all have a twelve-point spirit with Lao Tzu, after all the shells are fired, immediately take your artillery and retreat to the designated location, and bury Lao Tzu in the soil if you can't take it away, if you lose Lao Tzu's cannon, Lao Tzu wants whose life, and Lao Tzu tells you that there is only one regiment of troops guarding the Loess Ridge defense line, and you have a limited time to retreat, so give Lao Tzu a little bit of profit! ”
"Yes!" Everyone agreed, turned and ran to their respective batteries.
Among the many generals, Xu Biao is the fastest to enter the role, and Qin Feng is the most reassuring general, after all, he came out of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and he is not the same as those who are born with mud legs and bandits.
Standing behind Xu Biao was Wen Jiawei, the chief of staff of the First Division, who looked at the soldiers who were digging pits everywhere and preparing to bury artillery, frowned slightly, and whispered to Xu Biao: "Division, is this appropriate?" The order of the military seat is to destroy the cannons that we cannot take away, and if you bury them, 6 if the enemy really comes in, these cannons fall into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences are unimaginable! ”
"What! Blown up? Chief of Staff, what are you kidding, these are all brand new guys, and they haven't fired a few cannons yet, Lao Tzu would rather the military seat be killed than blow up these cannons, besides, you said that the military seat is such a god-like figure, he will put the devil in for no reason? Do you really think he plans to give up the Yeosu base to the devil for nothing? Hair! Xu Biao tilted his neck and looked at Wen Karwei with a look of disdain.
"It's not the division commander, I'm not worried that the Lishui base will fall into the hands of devils, the military seat must be completely sure that this is done, I think the reason why the military seat let us blow up the artillery is also because we are afraid that we will not be able to retreat in time, after all, the infantry brigade of our division has been transferred to the special operations division, you also know how much combat power the soldiers of this heavy artillery brigade can have, there is a regiment of troops in front, if they really fight, they can't hold out for long, and the time delayed by this artillery is delayed"
Xu Biao waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Wen Jiawei and said, "Okay, needless to say, order them to take the cannon bolt away and cover well!" "After saying that, raise your legs and leave.
Looking at Xu Biao's back, Wen Jiawei shook his head helplessly and smiled, there is really no way to put this division commander on the stall, I have long heard that he is obsessed with artillery, it seems that this rumor is not false, it seems that this responsibility can only be shouldered together.
That night, at about three o'clock, the Dajing Reservoir of the base suddenly sounded three loud bangs, and the embankment of the reservoir more than ten meters high collapsed in an instant, and suddenly the monstrous white waves swept forward like the Yellow River bursting its embankment.
Immediately, countless cannonballs with long tails of flames rose into the air from various valleys of the base, and flew in unison in the direction of Biandan Mountain, and the ground shook in the rumbling explosion, and the blazing fire made the sky as if it were day.
Wuhan, the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.
It was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and the entire headquarters was still brightly lit, more than 20 senior Japanese generals with the rank of major general and lieutenant general on their shoulders were pointing around a huge sand table, Okamura Ninji was holding a baton, and where the tip of the stick was pointing, calling a name, there would be a general who stepped forward and seemed to be arranging tasks.
Yesterday, the tunnel permeability at the front of Jinhua completely disrupted Okamura Ningji's plan, originally just waiting for the explosion to sound, the four armies marched together, and today they could hold a celebration party at the Lishui base, who knew that they were still recognized by Qin Feng, the demon, and the success fell short, but the imperial army would not give in, the second division and the thirteenth mixed brigade had already gained a firm foothold in Biandan Mountain, this is a sharp knife wedged into the heart of the enemy, and then pushing and agitating a hand can still kill the enemy, although so, The imperial army may pay a huge price, but as long as Qin Feng's head is taken, none of this matters.
At the same time, Okamura Ningji also got an important piece of information, Qin Fenggong Gao Zhenzhu showed the spirit of the king, and had already made their chairman want to get rid of it quickly, so the reinforcements from all walks of life were slow to move, they thought that as long as Qin Feng died, they could still recapture the Lishui base from the imperial army, they also underestimated the imperial army too much, this time it was time for the imperial army to teach them a lesson. Okamura has studied Chinese history quite well, and knows that in the eyes of the emperors of the past, a dangerous courtier has always been much more terrifying than a frontal enemy. Therefore, Okamura Ninji was convinced of this information.
"Okay, the task has been arranged, I won't say much about what this battle means to us, I will prepare a celebration banquet in Wuhan to welcome the triumphant return of the monarchs, please, monarchs!" Okamura Ninji said that he was bowed, and a clangling sound suddenly came from below.
"Report, the second division is in an emergency!" Suddenly, there was an inappropriate voice at the door.
The senior generals of the Japanese army who were originally about to leave stopped their steps one after another, and at this time the second division was in a hurry, which was very unusual, and they all smelled a trace of uneasiness.
The chief of staff of the Eleventh Army, Isamu Kinoshita, stepped forward quickly, took the telegram from Staff Officer Nakasa's hand and hurriedly browsed it, and his suddenly ugly face made everyone in the room feel an indescribable heaviness.
Kinoshita Yong took a mouth of saliva, looked at Okamura Ninji and said in a deep voice: "At about three o'clock, the Shina Army blew up the embankment of the Dajing Reservoir, and the surrounding area of Biandan Mountain has become Zeguo, and then, the heavy artillery of the Shina Army carried out carpet bombardment of Biandan Mountain, and at the same time, about one and a half divisions of troops stormed the junction of Dayu Mountain and Biandan Mountain, the position has been lost, the Imperial Army has suffered heavy losses, and the number of missing people in the flood has reached more than 1,000, and the number of people who died under artillery fire cannot be counted, and the commander of the Second Division, Imamura-kun, asked for urgent tactical guidance!" ”
"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji popped out two words from between his teeth, and even though there were turbulent waves in his heart, he still maintained a pampered and humiliated face that was not shocked. Teng Teng walked to the combat sand table and looked at the small sun flag on Biandan Mountain and thought for a long time, then straightened his waist and said awe-inspiringly: "Order: The Ninth Division, the Sixth Division, and the 104th Division immediately launch a fierce attack on their respective frontiers. Order: The 2nd Division and the 13th Mixed Brigade immediately organized troops to destroy the Zhina Army at the junction of Dayu Mountain and Biandan Mountain, opened up communications, and was ready to launch an attack on the Loess Ridge Heights at any time. Order: The 101st Division supports the 2nd Division, and the 1st Division attacks the Jigongshan defense line, and must take the Jigongshan outer defense line before dawn. Order: The 33rd Division held the heights of Laohuling and Matian'ao, and did not allow a single soldier of the Zhina Army to enter. Order: The bomber group will take off immediately and release the flood at all costs. ”
