When Yoshio Harata was in a hurry, the signal soldier suddenly ran over and reported in a low voice: "Report, there is an urgent call from the brigade headquarters!" Our unit has approached the headquarters of the commander of the 9th Theater of Operations of the China Army infinitely, and orders our department to immediately advance to attack the enemy in front and search for and attack the headquarters of the commander of the enemy's 9th theater at all costs. And maintain radio contact to inform the location of the attack at any time! ā€

Yoshio Harata spat fiercely: "Yaga! These stupid bunches! My mom is only a thousand! The surrounding Chinese army has nearly 100,000 people, to say the least! Are they sending us to death? ā€

Having said that, the orders given by the brigade headquarters, even if he was reluctant, he still had to obediently carry them out. Otherwise, the brigade commander Kuroiwa Osa would definitely not let him go.

Situ Rui, who was worried in the regimental headquarters, suddenly received a news that he couldn't believe for a while--the Botian detachment, which had been shrinking like a hedgehog, suddenly launched an attack formation, abandoned its original defensive position, and came straight in the direction of the headquarters of the commander of the ninth theater in the hinterland of Yuelu Mountain!

At the same time, the reconnaissance units that had been in charge of monitoring the 6th Division, the 106th Division, and the 33rd Division also sent back telegrams that the above-mentioned main divisions of the Japanese army had already set out from their current positions and began to move closer to the Hatada detachment, and at the same time, the Uemura Detachment and the Nara Detachment of the 6th Division had moved forward from the headquarters of the 6th Division to open up an advance channel for the main force of the Japanese army, and at the same time to take on the task of flanking cover.

According to the current marching speed of the Japanese army, the Hatian detachment, which broke through to the forefront, could make head-on contact with the 3rd Special Operations Regiment in as little as an hour at the earliest. If Yang Hanyu's 20th Army and Xia Shouxun's 78th Army could not effectively resist the onslaught of the Japanese 6th, 33rd, and 106th Divisions, the Japanese reinforcements would be able to break through the Chinese army's outer defense line and completely wrap the 3rd Special Warfare Regiment in half a day. At that time, Xue Yue will be the reincarnation of the God of War, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky.

The current situation is something that Situ Rui never expected. He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect Xue Yue to be so single, and he took the initiative to expose the location of his headquarters, casting an irresistible bait for the Japanese army. Fortunately, tens of thousands of Japanese troops are like sharks smelling blood, swarming towards the small Yuelu Mountain! If he can't defeat the Hatada detachment in the shortest possible time, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Jiang Shan didn't want to expose the true combat effectiveness of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade so early, everyone understands the truth of shooting the first bird, the Japanese are not fools, and a single sixth brigade whose combat effectiveness stands out in the national army sequence is definitely a big trouble for them! It's definitely going to be as fast as you can. It is definitely not a wise move to expose the combat effectiveness of the Falcon Special Operations Brigade at this time.

But now it seems that it is useless to hide and tuck. In case one accidentally puts the Ninth Theater Command in, the impact on the entire battle situation is simply immeasurable. At that time, he will be transformed from an anti-Japanese hero who stood up to the sky and the earth to a national sinner referred to by thousands of people in an instant!

However, since the Potian detachment is no longer shrinking into a ball, the opportunity for the third special operations regiment has also come! The entire Third Regiment now has nearly 3,000 combatants, while the Potian Detachment has less than 1,000 men, and it is still a tired division that lacks food, clothing, ammunition and food. On the question of how to arrange the troops, Situ Rui took a lot of thought. The first battalion, as the sharp-knife battalion with the strongest combat effectiveness, is naturally responsible for the main attack mission; As the battalion with the strongest combat capability in the mountains, the most suitable job for the second battalion is naturally to hide in the shadows and make tricks for the devils; There are more new soldiers in the third battalion, the tactical style of play is not mature, and the combat effectiveness has not come up, which is also what has always made Situ Rui feel a headache. In the current situation, it seems that the third battalion can only follow the first and second battalions for the time being. Find an opportunity to grab a soft persimmon and pinch two handfuls, which is regarded as training for the recruits and exercising the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Although he received the order from the brigade headquarters to advance at full speed, Yoshio Harata went against the norm this time, changed the rush for quick success and quick success in the previous days, and let the entire detachment maintain a close battle formation, advancing step by step towards the hinterland of Yuelu Mountain. He understood that he and his troops had completely become cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the Chinese army, and sooner or later they would inevitably die. Rather than this, it is better to slow down the march a little and wait for other troops to come up with support. In that case, there is still a chance to live. Even if the brigade headquarters is held accountable, it will be able to excuse itself on the pretext of ineffective logistics and disparity in troops.

Under the instruction of Yoshio Hata, the entire Hatian detachment "advanced" toward the hinterland of Yuelu Mountain with an action similar to turtle speed, and this kind of marching method of stopping and wanting to take a step forward not only made the headquarters of the 106th Division and the 111th Brigade of the Japanese Army grit their teeth with hatred, but Xue Yue and others, who had been paying attention to them on Yuelu Mountain, felt speechless for a while--if they continued at this speed, let alone "advancing", it is estimated that the war is over. Yoshio Harata and his troops are still wandering around the deep mountains and old forests.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops are waiting for the Hatian detachment to come to eat this table of dumplings, and now the pot is ready, the water is boiling, but the guests are delayed, this is really a bit too much to say, Xue Yue decided to add some motivation to the timid Hatian Yoshio! Under his order, the two heavy guns of the 14th Artillery Regiment, which had been hidden in the depths of the Yuelu Mountains, were opened.

The 14th Artillery Regiment is not another artillery unit of the National Army, this unit is an independent artillery regiment formed in 37 years, and it is not equipped with the old Swedish Bofors 75mm mountain gun, but the latest FH18/L30 imported from Germany, with a caliber of 150mm heavy howitzer! The 24 brand-new German heavy guns in the whole regiment are Chairman Chiang's heart and baby bumps! For such an important battle as the Battle of Changsha, Chairman Jiang allocated six doors to Xue Yue. Originally, according to Xue Yue's intentions, these six guns were all used in the area of Xinqiang River, Laodao River and Jinjing to prevent the Japanese army from heavy troops. However, for the sake of safety, Chief of Staff Wu Yizhi still tried his best to dispel public opinion and deployed two of them on Yuelu Mountain, overlooking Changsha City.

Yoshio Harata was directing his troops to slowly and leisurely "advance" into the depths of Mount Yuelu, when suddenly, a sharp howling sound came from the sky. Before Yoshio Harata could come to his senses, several Japanese veterans with rich combat experience had already shouted with earthy faces: "Shelling! ā€

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the stumps and severed arms of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers flew into the sky one after another, and then turned into a bloody rain and fell to the ground. Yoshio Hata's small eyes instantly widened into a pair of copper bells - it is impossible for a small-caliber mountain artillery to have such a powerful living infantry artillery! Those pits with a diameter of more than ten meters have unmistakably told him that this is a heavy howitzer of the Chinese army!

Yoshio Harata no longer knows whether he should cry or laugh - if he can kill this heavy artillery unit that is regarded as a treasure by the Chinese army in one go, then he will definitely be a great achievement, and it will definitely not be a pipe dream to rise in the army in the future; However, the advance detachment, which was alone and lacked horses and had only more than 1,000 people, wanted to find and destroy this heavy artillery unit surrounded by the vast mountains and hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, which now seemed to be tantamount to a fool's dream.

Not to mention anything else, just with this uncovered open terrain and the huge power of heavy artillery, I am afraid that it will not be long before my own detachment will be swatted to death here by this heavy artillery unit with cannonballs like flies. Thinking of this, Yoshio Harata shook his head vigorously, threw all those unrealistic ideas out of the clouds, and yelled: "Everyone evacuate and hide!" The front team picks up speed and quickly passes through the area covered by artillery fire! ā€

With Hakata Yoshio's order, the Japanese soldiers, who were still slow like old oxen pulling a broken cart just now, suddenly rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. In fact, this is not up to them, because in just a few minutes, the Chinese army poured dozens of shells on their heads as if they were crazy! You must know that because of national strength and military strength, the Chinese army even uses bullets in a budget-conscious manner, not to mention the shells that are many times more expensive than bullets.

The Japanese soldiers were almost blinded by the sudden thunderous blow. Many of them ran around in panic, their weapons and equipment were thrown to the ground, and some simply stood in place, stunned, as the roaring storm of steel tore their bodies to pieces in a frenzy - not because they didn't want to dodge, but because they were stunned by the shells fired by the Chinese artillery.

Looking at his panicked subordinates, Yoshio Harata closed his eyes in pain, he really couldn't bear to look at it anymore, at least at this moment, he already understood, Harata detachment, it's over!
