Chapter 169: Bombardment of Heavy Artillery Divisions

The actions of the army were already very hidden, and Kojiro Yamauchi had begun to move his troops to the front line of the Huangshui River a few days ago, in order to break through the defense line of the East China Army from the east.

The East China Army's defense line was the weakest in the east, and the headwaters of the Huangshui River in the south were sandwiched between two mountain ranges in the east and west, and the East China Army controlled all the commanding heights above.

Not to mention the Laizhou Bay area on the west coast, the terrain is also very similar to the south, but there are mountains on one side and the sea on the other, and Yamauchi Kojiro doesn't expect the navy to help at all at this time, he just hopes that the navy will not be served by the planes of the East China Army.

Although the defense line of the East China Army in the east is the weakest, it is not fragile, the terrain in the east is also not good, there is a small mountain range in the east, although the mountain range is not high and not large, but it is relatively evenly distributed, there are more commanding heights there, and the commanding heights there are also occupied by the East China Army.

It is only on the eastern defense line that the army can choose which exit to break through from, but on the southern and western fronts, it is different that there is only one exit in those two areas, although the exit is large.

The eastern exit is smaller, but it is completely sufficient, and there is no obstacle to traffic at all.

Another thing is that Kojiro Yamauchi has little confidence in the navy, even if the navy loses, then if he breaks through from the Eastern Front, he will not be hit by the opponent's gunboats.

"Has our heavy artillery mobilization passed?" Yamauchi picked up the phone in the headquarters and called out to ask.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, half of it has been mobilized, and half of it is on the way, and it is possible to continue on the road at night." The other end of the line replied.

"Yaga, you're moving too slowly." Yamauchi scolded harshly.

"Hello!"

"But be careful not to expose the heavy artillery during the day." Kojiro Yamauchi was very cautious again, and although he wanted to attack as soon as possible, he still had to be well prepared in advance.

…… As night fell, Liang Yuanhai, a soldier of the East China Special Forces, was lurking in an abandoned straw pile, staring at the bridge in the distance with only two eyes.

Not far away is the Huangshui River, where there is a pontoon bridge, apparently built by the army.

Seeing that the light was fading, Liang Yuanhai cheered up and put the low-light night vision goggles in front of him, most of which were also hidden in the straw pile, and the sky was dark, so he couldn't see the strangeness of the straw pile at all.

In early November, when the Chinese army and the East China Army engaged in air and artillery battles, the East China Army carried out a small assault on the weak points of the Chinese army, and Liang Yuanhai infiltrated the rear of the Chinese army under the cover of that operation.

He was joined by more than 200 men who were tasked with gathering the movements of the Japanese army, as well as finding valuable targets and calling the air force to strike.

The only requirement for them is not to be easily exposed.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sky had completely darkened, and there was only some starlight in the sky, when a convoy of military troops appeared.

Liang Yuanhai looked through the night vision goggles and saw that the rear of the car was full of heavy artillery, and these vehicles were passing through the pontoon bridge of the Huangshui River.

Seeing this situation, Liang Yuanhai hurriedly took out the remote control from the side to detonate the plastic bomb he had stained on the pontoon, this thing is the same as chewing gum, the explosive power is no less than yellow explosives, and it is the exclusive equipment of special forces.

"Boom ......"

A loud bang rang out from the bridge, and a car towing heavy artillery passed right above, and after the explosion, the whole car was planted in the river, and the pontoon bridge was broken in two.

The entire convoy suddenly stopped, and the devils got out of the car one after another to check the reason, Liang Yuanhai hurriedly quietly pulled out of the straw pile, and quickly distanced himself from the devils under the cover of the straw pile.

It won't be long before the devils start searching around, and if they are still hiding there, they will definitely be discovered.

Soon Liang Yuanhai hid in the woods, this is the retreat route he had planned, and it was good to get away from the enemy in the woods, but Liang Yuanhai did not leave, but looked at the devil in the distance with microscopic night vision goggles, and the distance between him and the devil was only more than two hundred meters.

The distance of more than 200 meters is easy to be found during the day, but not at night, Liang Yuanhai also made some simple camouflage on his body to divide the appearance of the human body, so that it is very inconspicuous.

…… Kojiro Yamauchi was sleeping when he was suddenly woken up by a staff officer.

"Commander-in-chief, our pontoon bridge has been blown up, and our batch of heavy artillery can't be transported to the river." The staff officer reported to Kojiro Yamauchi.

"How so? Didn't the pontoon bridge be guarded? Kojiro Yamauchi asked with a frown.

"No, because the bombers who sent the guards to summon the people of China will not be able to keep the pontoon bridge."

"Hmm...... Then order them to conceal the heavy artillery, and then send sappers to urgently repair the pontoon bridge, and strive to repair the pontoon bridge tonight. Kojiro Yamauchi ordered.

"Yes."

After giving the order, Kojiro Yamauchi continued to sleep with his head upside down.

…… The advance of the heavy artillery division of the army on the edge of the Huangshui River was blocked, and after receiving the order from the headquarters, it ordered to move to the woods on the side to cover up.

If the sappers want to repair the pontoon bridge, they must need lighting, so it is very likely to attract bombing from the East China Air Force, so they need to hide, and the place where they hide is exactly where Liang Yuanhai is hiding.

Liang Yuanhai saw that the devil was coming, and hurriedly continued to retreat to the depths of the woods, he was already very familiar with the environment in this area, and he withdrew a few hundred meters away without a sound, and climbed to the top of a big tree.

The entire convoy rushed into a slightly sparsely wooded spot on the edge of the woods, only to see the soldiers begin to get out of their cars and cut down branches, which they then put on cars and heavy artillery.

The scouts of the army were on the alert in a bit of a motion, and began to explore the woods aimlessly.

Liang Yuanhai, who had long expected this situation, had already climbed to the top of the big tree, hiding motionless among the branches and leaves, and at the same time used night vision goggles to observe the reconnaissance of the Yue Army and the heavy artillery division of the Yue Army in the distance.

The scouts were shining around in the woods with flashlights, but they paid little attention to the situation overhead, and apparently had little experience in this area.

At this time, the army did not know whether there were any enemies around, and the explosion just now may be a coincidence, or it may be remote-controlled, but most of the army scouts thought that it didn't matter, and it was enough to go through the motions in this wood.

Soon, the scouts below went back.

Liang Yuanhai took out the walkie-talkie, "I'm Gale Wind, I'm Gale Wind, call the communicator, call the communicator." ”

"Communicator received, please inform the location."

"Zone B46." Liang Yuanhai replied.

"Okay, we're flying towards your area."

"Please transfer to Air Force Command." Liang Yuanhai said to the walkie-talkie, the communication distance of the walkie-talkie is not large, so there are communication planes flying in the sky everywhere at present.

"Okay, wait a minute." "Hello, this is the Air Force Command, did you find anything?" ”

"I found a large group of heavy artillery in the B46 area, which was stationary more than 200 meters away from me, and asked the Air Force to send bombers to bomb, and I was responsible for firing signal flares." Liang Yuanhai reported.

"Okay, please keep the walkie-talkie communication, the bomber formation will be dispatched soon."

…… Zheng Chengtao was directing reconnaissance, communications, bombing, and other combat missions at the Air Force Headquarters, when a liaison officer came to Zheng Chengtao and reported: "Report to the deputy commander, report to the gale, a large group of heavy artillery has been found in the B46 area, and it has been locked in the direction of the gale, and can send signal flares to indicate the target." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Chengtao couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then asked in ecstasy: "Really? ”

"Yes."

"Order tactical bomber formations to strike as fast as possible." Zheng Chengtao hurriedly ordered that the heavy artillery of the Yue army was the key to this battle, although these heavy artillery could not change the outcome of the war, but it was very likely to cause great damage to the East China Army, so the first thing the East China Army had to eliminate was the heavy artillery division of the East China Army.

At this time, a great opportunity is in front of him, and the heavy artillery division of this book will stay in the B46 area, and it has been locked in the position by the East China special forces, which can only be said to be unlucky.

…… Liang Yuanhai, who was hiding in the woods, waited for more than an hour when a voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Call Gale, call Gale."

"Gale received, gale received."

"We are a formation of tactical bombers, we are heading to the B46 area, we are expected to reach the area in five minutes, are there any conspicuous targets there?"

"About 200 meters away, there is a group of military engineers repairing a pontoon bridge, and there are lights."

"Okay."

There was a humming sound on the horizon, a very loud noise, far more so loud than those wooden planes could match.

One hundred and fifty Hammer 4 bombers dispatched overnight, led by two Mosquito bombers, had already arrived in the B46 area, and there were lights in the distance.

Not every aircraft is equipped with night vision devices, this is a relatively high-end equipment, which Xia Jun bought directly from the exchange platform.

Therefore, most of the planes are led by Mosquito bombers equipped with night vision devices, as long as they follow the mosquito bombers.

However, the lights were quickly extinguished, and the military sappers below immediately extinguished all the lights when they heard the terrifying engine noise.

But this is not difficult for the bomber formation, they still have flares.

Liang Yuanhai, who was in the woods, heard a voice from the walkie-talkie at this time: "Call Gale Wind, please guide the target, Call Gale Gale, please guide the target." ”

"Gale received." Liang Yuanhai responded, and a flare was fired directly from the grenadier canister attached to the muzzle of the sniper rifle.

The firing range is 700 meters, and the effective range is 500 meters, which is far enough.

The sudden appearance of the East China Air Force made the heavy artillery division below a little nervous, but it stands to reason that they were hidden in the woods, and those planes would definitely not be able to find it.

"Rub ~ bang ......"

The distinctive sound of the Type 09 rifle suddenly sounded in the woods, and the heavy artillery division of the Yue Army in the woods suddenly saw that the sky above them burst into a bright light.

Flares!

When many officers and soldiers saw this signal flare, their faces changed suddenly.

"The flare landed correctly." Liang Yuanhaitong reports.

"Okay, we're going to drop Molotov cocktails on the area first in thirty seconds, please evacuate the area immediately." The commander of the bomber formation said to Liang Yuanhai.

"No problem." Liang Yuanhai said and quickly climbed down from the tree, and then quickly ran into the distance.
