Xiao Zhange and Fox Eleven killed the devil stationed at Xingjia Bridge lightly and skillfully, Fox Eleven went back to pass the order, transferred a squad of commando soldiers, and replaced the killed devil to continue to guard Xingjia Bridge, Xiao Zhange took the others to take the lead and groped along the north bank of Xingjia River to the northwest.

In the Hongkou area, the indigenous people of the Modu have been cleared out by the Japanese army, or have taken the initiative to become refugees and escaped from the war zone. So Xiao Zhange and the others went all the way, except for seeing some scattered devil strongholds, they couldn't see the Chinese residents at all.

Xiao Zhange took the lead, and everyone cleaned up those devil strongholds as they walked. After walking for more than an hour, the sound of gunfire, which had been faint, suddenly became louder, and the traces of shells became clearly visible.

In a small two-story building, Xiao Zhange took out a flashlight and a map, cooperated with a compass, first confirmed the location, and then asked a signal soldier named Gu Jianling to send a telegram to contact the theater command.

Northern Jiangsu Province, Lucheng (i.e. Kun. Mountain), in the headquarters of the commander of the third theater of operations, in the midst of a dripping sound, a communications staff officer suddenly stood up and shouted: "The commando is calling, the commando is calling!" ”

In front of a huge military map, Feng Yuxiang, Gu Zhutong, Falkenhausen and others were frowning and analyzing the battle situation, when they heard the shout of this communication staff officer, Feng Yuxiang immediately said loudly: "Hurry up!" ”

"The Japanese gave up the attack on the Dongchuan Building, and Chief Xiao organized a team and now sneaked to the intersection of Yokohama Road and Baoshan Road. He said that he would report to the headquarters on the specific Japanese assembly points later, and let the theater command organize artillery and concentrate fire according to the shooting elements he provided. ”

"Good boy, is he ordering the commander's headquarters?" Feng Yuxiang scolded on his lips, but an irrepressible smile overflowed on his face.

Gu Zhutong: "Tell him that the artillery unit can be put into battle at any time." By the way, let him prioritize finding out the location of the Japanese artillery units. ”

"Yes."

The artillery of China and Japan attacked each other's defensive positions or attack positions, and because they were a little far apart from each other, so far there had been no artillery fire in the true sense of the word, that is, artillery white-knuckle warfare. The reason why the commanders of both sides did not dare to easily put the artillery in front was that the Chinese side was worried about the bombing of Japanese fighters, and the Japanese side was out of defensive needs. If the building of the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps had not been supported by artillery, it should have been broken by this time.

After receiving the instructions, Xiao Zhange sneaked north for a quarter of an hour according to the guidance of the shells fired by the Japanese artillery, and after climbing a five-story building, he took the Japanese artillery position into his eyes.

There are two artillery positions of the Japanese army, of which the main position is located 3,000 kilometers southeast of Tiantongan, and there are two heavy guns and more than 20 infantry guns under its jurisdiction. In order to ensure the firing speed, the Japanese artillery specially pulled electric lights, and these electric lights became the best targets.

An hour and a half later, when the 88th Division of the Chinese side launched another attack on the enemy at Tiantongan from the west, when the artillery of the Japanese main artillery position was fired one after another, a shell suddenly came from the southwest and landed on the south side of the Japanese main artillery position.

This is a test-fired artillery shell used to correct the trajectory, Xiao Zhange saw it, and immediately said to Gu Jianling: "It is more than 500 meters to the south, hurry up and generate electricity." ”

This missed shell caused the alarm of the devil artillery commander. However, artillery is different from other weapons, and it is not easy to relocate and position, so the commander of the devil artillery ordered a suspension of the shelling, waited for about five minutes, and did not see any more shells coming, so he defined the appearance of this shell as a misfire by Chinese artillery.

"The level of the artillery in China!? Hehe! After the little devil sneered, he waved his right hand downward and said, "Keep firing!" ”

Xiao Zhange happened to observe this picture with a telescope, just as a red light suddenly flashed in the night sky in the west, and he grinned and said, "I don't know that death is coming, brothers, wait to watch the play!" ”

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the strike, Gu Zhutong gathered two regiments of artillery at once, including the 10th Heavy Artillery Regiment. The 10th Heavy Artillery Regiment is equipped with 24 German-made L/30SFH18 Krupp 150mm caliber howitzers, which is the treasure of Lao Chiang. It was precisely because of the need to wait for the 10th Heavy Artillery Regiment to enter the battle that the preparation time for the shelling was only an hour and a half.

What is the concept of 20 strong 150 mm howitzers firing at the same time? Xiao Zhange soon saw it. When a sharp tearing sound of air suddenly sounded in the sky, in Xiao Zhange's telescope lens, the commander of the devil artillery first raised his head violently and looked westward, and then, he shouted something loudly, and rushed towards a heavy cannon in front of him like a rabbit. The commander of the devil artillery still wanted to rescue the artillery, but the flight speed of the shells was often several hundred meters per minute, which was not comparable to the small short legs of the devil artillery.

As one fireball after another smashed into the Japanese artillery position like meteors, in an instant, the earth-shattering explosion sounded endlessly. In the "boom" explosion, Xiao Zhange could clearly feel the obvious tremor of the building he was staying in, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Captain, our artillery? This is us—" A commando soldier shouted excitedly, and only after he shouted a few words, he was covered by the fox eleven next to him. "I'm afraid that the devils in the neighborhood don't know we're here?" Fox Eleven shouted in his ear.

The bombardment of more than 20 heavy guns, about 20 field guns of 75 mm caliber, and 40 guns immediately turned the Japanese artillery position into a sea of fire. And as a series of louder and more violent explosions continued to explode, Xiao Zhange had to shout in a thick voice: "There is nothing to see here, go find another artillery position!" ”

The mountain of devil shells was detonated, and as a result, more than 600 devil artillery and about 100 devil infantry were killed, and a huge crater seven or eight meters deep was blown out of the place where the shells were killed.

The supreme commander of the Japanese forces near the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps was a brigade commander named Yoshikai Nishida. When the sound of explosions continued to sound in the southeast, Nishida Yoshikai was discussing the battle situation with a group of staff officers in the headquarters on the third floor. Hearing the explosion, his face changed, and he immediately rushed to the window to look out. Then, he shook his figure and muttered, "How is that possible?" How can it be? ”

His staff officers also flocked to the window, and then, under the light of the light, their faces turned pale, and several of them swayed with them, looking crumbling.

"Matsumoto, quick, send someone immediately - no, you go over in person, I need to know the damage as soon as possible!"

Matsumoto was Nishida Yoshikai's adjutant, and he ran out quickly with a "hai" and a "knock knock". (To be continued.) )
