Chapter Seventy-Six: Luring the Enemy Deep (4)
Morishita Lang walked for two days and one night, his body was a little tired, he lay in the tent and closed his eyelids, and secretly calculated: "After capturing the Twin Peaks, let the Gushou Brigade garrison, and wait for the elimination of the Second Brigade to encircle and suppress Liu Hui." Sticking out his tongue and licking his dry lips, he turned over again, his thoughts were like a tide, and then he thought: "I have made outstanding achievements in battle, if I annihilate the Second Brigade and Liu Hui again, Major General Matsuoka is very likely to transfer himself to the brigade headquarters, and at that time, Major General Matsugang will be promoted, and he is very likely to be promoted to major general and take over the position of Major General Matsuoka." Thinking of this, secretly proud, hearing the sound of gunfire, the sleepiness that gradually came disappeared, and when the sound of gunfire disappeared, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, turned over and sat up, and shouted: "Someone." ”
The combat staff officer opened the curtain and walked in and asked, "Your Excellency Dazuo, please give me orders." Morishita saw that something was wrong in his flickering eyes, and said, "Tell me, what's the situation?" The operational staff officer had no choice but to tell the truth and said: "Heavy firepower has been arranged on the front of the Twin Peaks, and the artillery squad and machine gun squadron of the Gushou Brigade have suffered serious losses. Morishita asked, "What about the Hiratani Brigade?" The operational staff officer said: "Pinggu Nakasa led the artillery to press up from the west of the peak, and wanted to destroy the opponent's firepower arrangement with artillery fire from the flank, but it was just ...... It's just that I feel that the artillery array is too close to the other party, and I feel a little unsure. Morishita asked, "How far is it?" The combat staff officer said: "Less than 800 meters." ”
Morishita got out of bed with a piece of his legs and said, "Nonsense, hurry up and inform Pinggu-kun to retreat a thousand meters." After saying this, there was a deafening sound of cannonballs. The combat staff officer ran out of the tent and shouted: "Signal soldier, hurry up and call Pinggu Nakasa, and say that His Excellency Dazuo has an order and orders him to immediately retreat one thousand meters." "Before the signal corps could make a call, there was the sound of machine gun. Morishita changed his calm style and climbed a big tree to shake his head while watching.
Several old trees on the Twin Peaks were blown up by shells, and the raging fire reflected the sky red. Liang Yongsheng put his eyes on the lookout hole and exclaimed excitedly, "Okay, it's trapped." "The bullets rained down on the cannon, crackling like fried beans, and the devil had nowhere to hide, lying on the ground, waiting for the rain of bullets to disappear.
Liang Yongsheng said: "Don't hit the barrel, lower the muzzle, and drive the devil away." The muzzle of the gun was lowered, and the casualties of the devil suddenly increased, and Pingguchuan hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw ......" Liang Yongsheng smashed the stone wall with his fist and shouted: "Good fight." ”
Hiratanigawa retreated behind a sand hill, looked at the towering cannons, and thought: "The artillery's discarding of cannons is also the first case in the history of the Imperial Japanese Army. ”
Liang Yongsheng stopped the machine gunner and said, "We may have to hold out for three days, and we can't waste bullets casually." He asked two team members to look out and report the situation in a timely manner.
Morishita Lang got down from the big tree, brought people to Hiratani River, and said with a gloomy face: "Hiratani-kun, do you know how to do it yourself?" Hiratanigawa twisted his cheeks and said, "I know, I want to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor." He drew his sword, looked at it with tears in his eyes, and then suddenly knelt down, turned the tip of the knife upside down, and said, "I do..." Morishita Lang said: "As a great Japanese imperial army, the best way is not to apologize, but to inspire courage, survive in adversity, and return the humiliation to the enemy." ”
Hiratanigawa stood up, bowed to Morishita, and said, "Your Excellency Xie Dazuo." He took off his shirt, tied a white flag with a plaster to his head, and shouted, "Warriors, follow me." The soldier followed the example of his commander, shirtless, and walked step by step towards the artillery position in the autumn wind.
The night was dark, and the watchdog team members only spotted his figure when the devil was approaching the cannon, and shouted: "Captain Liang, devil...... The devil is getting close to the cannon. The machine gunner heard the shout, and without waiting for Liang Yongsheng to speak, he grabbed the handle of the gun, and the machine gun roared.
Hiratanigawa was bent on dragging the cannon away, not caring about the life and death of his subordinates, and shouted: "Rush, rush up, drag the cannon away." Under the barrage, the soldiers went forward one after another, killing and wounding twenty or thirty people, and they could not get any closer to the artillery. Morishita Lang scolded secretly: "Pig's head." He called for Date Shaozo and said, "Organize the soldiers to smoke." ”
Liang Yongsheng reacted quickly, found the black smoke, and said: "The muzzle of the gun is located, and the devil must not be allowed to get close to the cannon." The black smoke soon filled the artillery array, and Hiratanigawa was overjoyed and shouted, "Go up quickly." "The eight cannons are three in the front and five in the back, the arrangement is relatively concentrated, the machine gunner is easy to locate, and the devils rushed several times, but they were all beaten back.
Morishita Lang failed to make a plan and devised another plan, so he asked the soldiers to drag the carriage, load the stones, and approach the artillery position. The hilly terrain was full of potholes and soft soil, and it took twenty or thirty men to push each carriage. The rain of bullets swept in, and the stones could block the devils in front, and the devils on the carts on both sides were either dead or injured, and the carriage did not move when it boarded. Morishita had nothing to do, and was anxious to abuse himself. Date Shaozo comforted a few words and ordered the artillery squad leader to respond to the Pinggu Brigade with artillery fire.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ......, the twin peaks were once again caught in the artillery fire, and the team members had already experienced a baptism of artillery fire, and they didn't care about this artillery fire at all, chatting and laughing.
Hiratanigawa tried to rush forward several times, but all of them suffered several casualties and returned in vain. Morishita was ruthless, and ordered the two brigades of Date and Hase to attack from the front in turn, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle for a while.
However, he said that Noma Shaoza led people to chase them out for five or six miles, and found that the other party was only about 20 people, and his brain was hot, and he secretly thought: "I bit Liu Hui and her elites, if I can eliminate them in one fell swoop, the credit will be great." So he instructed Morishita to "seize the dangerous terrain and hold on until dawn." This sentence was forgotten in the back of his mind, and he kept urging: "Speed up the pursuit, fast, fast... ”
Liu Hui organized three blockades on the way to lure the enemy, and the firepower went from strong to weak, which was intended to confuse the devils. Noma Shaosa climbed a high post, looked at the two empty ammunition boxes, and shouted: "Warriors, Liu Hui and her men are about to run out of ammunition, catch up and annihilate them all." Squadron Leader Yagi was worried about deception, and said, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, do you think that the vanguard team will distance itself from the team?" ”
Noma Shaosa shook his head and said: "The other party has become the end of a strong crossbow, don't worry about anything, the whole team presses and chases." "Rustle...... The devil's leather shoes made a rapid rhythmic sound, and the figure moved forward quickly.
Xia Yifan waited for the devil's rear team to walk past a high post, and said to Guo Zihao in a low voice: "Quietly seize the high post and block the devil's retreat." Guo Zihao waved his hand, and the members of the Fire Dragon Anti-Japanese Detachment quickly occupied Gaogang. Xia Yifan asked the artillery to remove the camouflage of the cannon, and when the devil entered the predetermined position, he shouted: "Open the cannon." "The voice is short and powerful.
