As the sun rose in the east, a ray of sunlight shone into the Japanese field tent, and the three captains of the 41st and 42nd Infantry Wings and the 5th Field Artillery Wing were standing respectfully, staring at the commander of the 9th Brigade in front of them, Noboru Kunisaki. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Guoqi Deng straightened his short body, touched Ren Danhu, and said proudly: "Gentlemen, not long after the establishment of this detachment, we captured Linyi and forced Xuzhou, and the arrogant Zhang Zizhong was finally beaten away by us. Avenged our 5th Division. According to Miss Yoshiko's intelligence, the enemy coming from the opposite side was the 46th Army. If you want to beat me hard today, it is estimated that Fan Songfu will not last a day. ”

Xiao Hori, the commander of the Fifth Wing of the Field Artillery, said viciously: "Zhang Zizhong's fortifications have been destroyed by me, and the 46th Army will not be able to dig new fortifications only in one evening, and I will let them taste the taste of artillery." ”

The commander of the 41st wing, Tetsujiro Yamada, frowned, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that our last wave of charge yesterday afternoon, when we were about to rush into the village, was finally disrupted by those mysterious flanking enemies. Otherwise, I will definitely be able to catch Zhang Zizhong. ”

"Hmm. It's really weird. Kunisaki Noboru nodded and said, "Today, on both sides of the attacking troops, it is necessary to strengthen the alert troops. Everyone immediately returned to their respective wings and attacked on time at eight o'clock. ”

The three wing commanders shouted in unison and quickly exited the tent.

On the other side of the position, on a small hill, the command post of the Chinese 46th Army was built, less than four miles away from the front-line position. Langzigou is one of the few hilly areas on the Xudong Plain, with many mountain bags. Fan Songfu's command post was inconspicuous on one of the hills, half built underground, covered with wood and clods.

At this time, there were three people standing outside the shelter department, army commander Fan Songfu, commander of the 14th Division Huo Yuzhang, and deputy station commander Long Xiaotian of Hujiazhuang Station of Fuxing Society. Long Xiaotian's original team was upgraded to a station after the victory in Taierzhuang, and Long Xiaotian was also promoted from deputy team leader to deputy station leader.

Fan Songfu held a high-powered telescope to observe his fortifications again, nodding frequently. I thought to myself, my army had built so many trenches in just a few hours, and the soil here was really soft. He then frowned again, fearing that the soil would be too soft and prone to collapse and bury his soldiers.

He put the telescope a few points too high, observed the Japanese position, and said to himself: "Strange, it's almost 8 o'clock, why haven't the Japanese army moved yet?" ”

Huo Yuzhang, who was standing next to him, accosted him and said: "The devil is also a human being, and he has been fighting with the 59th Army for several days, and he is tired." ”

Long Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, and said, "The devil artillery is adjusting the direction, the ammunition box has been opened, and it is estimated that the cannon is about to be fired." ”

Huo Yuzhang glanced at Long Xiaotian in surprise, picked up the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and said, "I said Deputy Station Master Long, do you think your eyes are clairvoyant?" How can I not see it? "The Japanese artillery position was in the rear of the Japanese infantry position, and it was very far from here, so he naturally could not see it.

Fan Songfu put the telescope on his face, but he couldn't see anything, so he couldn't help but look at Long Xiaotian suspiciously, and asked, "Since you have seen the cannon, what kind and how many are there?" ”

"All of them are 75mm field guns, with a total of 24 guns, which seems to be the size of two field artillery brigades." Long Xiaotian looked at the answer.

"Major General Long, you have detected it in advance. I hope your intelligence hasn't changed until now, otherwise it's a lie about the military situation! Besides, since you knew in advance, you should have told us earlier. Huo Yuzhang said solemnly.

Long Xiaotian didn't think much of Huo's words, looked at Guo Jun's position, and said in wonder: "Commander Fan, the devil is about to attack, why are there so few people on your position?" ”

Fan Songfu didn't speak, and Huo Yuzhang explained: "You don't understand this. The devils attack with three axes: artillery bombardment, tank charge, infantry on top. We started with artillery, of course we couldn't put all the soldiers in the trenches, that would kill a lot, we only put a few observation posts, and the rest hid in tunnels and bomb shelters. ”

Long Xiaotian nodded, then looked into the distance and said, "Attention, the devil has fired." ”

Fan Huo and the others didn't believe Long Xiaotian's words, they both put down their binoculars and looked into the distance with interest.

After a while, some black spots appeared in the sky in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, they exploded, booming, deafening, dusty, firelight, black smoke billowing, and the front-line position was suddenly shrouded in fire and smoke.

Looking at all this in front of him, Fan Songfu's face gradually became serious, and he exchanged glances with Huo Yuzhang, and said, "It seems that there are indeed about twenty field guns firing. ”

"Haha. I'm right. Long Xiaotian said triumphantly, took out a Cuban cigar from his satchel and put it in his mouth, took out the Zhibao lighter, took a sharp breath, and spit out a big smoke ring, very comfortable.

Seeing Long Xiaotian's suffocation, Huo Yuzhang twisted his face to the side, Fan Songfu didn't care, but turned his eyes to the big backpack at Long Xiaotian's feet, bulging his pockets, and asked, "Major General Long, you have a lot of weapons and ammunition in your backpack." You don't have to go to war, be my observation post here. ”

"No!" Long Xiaotian shook his head and said, "The devil on the opposite side, Kunizaki Deng, led his 9th Brigade to participate in the fight against Nanjing. I have to teach them a lesson. As he spoke, his eyes flashed fiercely. The fierce light is so fierce that even the boss of the Nenghong Gang like Fan Songfu is shocked in his heart, this Long Xiaotian's gaze is more ferocious than those of the bandits, like a wild wolf staring at a fat rabbit.

The devil's shelling took half an hour before it stopped, and the position was already in shambles, many observation posts were blown up, some tunnels collapsed, and the soldiers next to them rushed out to pick up the soil with their hands, and it took a while to show some gray faces.

A large number of soldiers came out of the tunnels and ran to their posts, placing guns and ammunition, and some of them hurried to repair the fortifications.

In the distance, the devil's tank was faintly visible, booming, the sound of huge engines was shocking, and the heavy tracks pressed the plains into deep and long trenches. Groups of devil soldiers hid behind the tanks and strode forward, plaster flags fluttering in the wind, and snow-white bayonets reflected the sunlight and were murderous.

Seeing the devil tank, the officers on the front line ordered some soldiers to concentrate seven or eight grenades each, tie them with ropes, open the safety of one of them, make cluster grenades, and wait for the battle.

The devil's tank began to fire from a distance. The main gun of the 97 tank is 57mm, although it is not as large as the caliber of the field artillery, but the power is not small. However, at this time, the national jun could not hide in the bomb shelter, and the tanks rushed up after a while.

Long Xiaotian shook his head as he looked at it, thinking, why are there so many tanks and cannons in that little country and people in Little Japan?

The devil tank kept approaching, and the heavy machine guns on it began to strafe, and some outcropping nationals were hit in the head and planted in the trenches.

The mortars and heavy machine guns of the 14th Division began to fire, the shells exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, and some devils screamed and lay on the ground.

The devil tank is closer.

The commander of a national company on the front line waved his hand behind him and ordered loudly: "Grenadiers, get on, kill the tank!" ”

A short soldier grabbed a cluster grenade and bent his waist as he galloped along the foxhole.

The short soldier scurried around, quickly detouring back to the side of the tank, avoiding the tank's machine gun and galloping over.

The devil soldiers next to the tank saw the Chinese soldiers and turned their guns together to shoot. The short soldier quickly changed his tactical moves, sometimes to the left and then to the right. The devil's bullet hit the soil next to him, poof, and brought up a lot of dust.

The commander of the national army company shouted: "Heavy machine gun cover!" "The heavy machine guns of the national army kept strafing, and the bullets were like splashing water, splashing a string of sparks on the tank guard, and the bang kept banging. The bullet hit the devil, sending up a cloud of blood.

The short soldier quickly touched the Devil Tank, put the cluster grenade on the track, quickly pulled the string, and then ran a few steps, rolling on the spot. With a bang, the tracks were blown off, the tank rushed forward and stopped. The flame leads to the bottom of the fuel tank, and the fire burns. The lid opened, and a tankman hurriedly stuck out his head, but coincidentally, a string of bullets fired, and half of his head was blown up.

The short soldiers crawled back to the skirmishers and returned to their positions in a puff of smoke. When Long Xiaotian saw this soldier, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and admire.

Half an hour later, four tanks were destroyed, but the price was paid by ten grenadiers.

His own tank was destroyed, and the devils who followed did not retreat, but stopped on the spot, set up grenadiers and machine guns to shoot at the country, da-da-da, bang-bang. However, it didn't last long, and most of the devils in this wave were killed and injured, and they had to retreat.

When the devil withdrew two hundred meters, the commander of the Guojun Company shouted: "Hurry, fast into the tunnel, the devil is going to **." ”

The soldiers ran back to the tunnel with their guns in hand, and a small number of observation posts remained on the position.

Major General Noboru Kunisaki, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that the first wave of the offensive was quickly disintegrated, and angrily scolded Ba Ge Yalu, and then ordered loudly: "Open the artillery, fire the cannon for me!" Blow up the people of China! ”

The Japanese field artillery fired again, and the flames and smoke once again enveloped the national position.

After watching this process, Long Xiaotian looked at Fan Songfu and praised him with a thumbs up: "General Fan, smart people use smart play!" ”

Fan Songfu stared at the position and muttered: "Strange, there is no landslide, the soil is not soft, why is it so easy to excavate?" ”

When Long Xiaotian heard the joy, he couldn't help but stand up and raise his head.
