Chapter Twenty-Eight: You're Better Than a Sharpshooter

The Japanese planes swooped down on the top of the hill in a rage. www.biquge.info The four 13.2 mm Haqi Keith air-cooled anti-aircraft machine guns of the Dian Army opened heavy fire on the Japanese planes. The Japanese pilots were determined to kill Long Xiaotian, the plane swung left and right a few times, but still rushed forward, and a few bullets were hit in the wing, but unfortunately there was no big damage.

The machine-gun bullets on the plane hit the hillside, puff, splashing a series of dust, the trajectory approached Long Xiaotian, and Zhang Chong and the others, who were watching the battle from a distance, were speechless and stared.

Seeing the plane approaching, Long Xiaotian's eyes contracted, his eyeballs turned golden, and it seemed that two cold lights shot out, and he could clearly see the bullets of the plane. In his field of vision, the bullets slowed down, one by one, squirting out of the muzzle of the gun, towards him, getting closer and closer.

Long Xiaotian jumped to the left with a heavy machine gun and went out three meters away, but the muzzle of the gun always moved slightly with the front of the front cabin of the plane, and a series of bullets from the Japanese army flew two meters under his feet.

"It's my turn, little devil!" As soon as Long Xiaotian pulled the trigger, and with a click, bullets poured out, pounced on the plane, and made head-on contact with the front cabin, and five or six bullets pierced through the glass cover, and two hit the pilot. Ah a scream, the little devil's chest immediately gushed out of blood, his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't control the plane. The plane flew forward crookedly, and a few minutes later it crashed into the canal, soaring into a column of water dozens of meters into the sky.

The surrounding Dian troops saw a burst of cheers, only the anti-aircraft machine gun shooter had a feverish face and was embarrassed. Zhang Chong and the others ran excitedly towards the top of the mountain.

Long Xiaotian observed the situation on the entire battlefield and found that the Dian army had recovered most of the front-line positions, put down the Browning heavy machine gun, took out a bottle of Tsingtao beer from his shoulder bag, gently buckled the cap, tilted his neck, cooed, and drank it in the blink of an eye. Then I picked up another bottle and concocted it as I did.

After Long Xiaotian finished drinking five bottles, Zhang Chong and Wan Baobang ran up panting.

Without waiting for the panting to be even, Zhang Chong said, "Xiao ...... Oh my God, you took such a risk and scared me to death. Hey, you just used a heavy machine gun to turn the tide of the entire battle in Yuwang Mountain, it's really amazing, brother, I've always been unconvinced, and today I can be regarded as convincing you! ”

"Small." Long Xiaotian took the wine bottle, glanced at the two horizontal and three-star medals of Wan Baobang, and said impatiently: "Hey, Senior Commander Zhang, you are also the deputy commander, and you are at the same level as me, I don't blame you for not giving me a salute." How do you educate your men, don't you know the military salute? ”

Zhang Chong was stunned.

Wan Baobang reacted instantly, raised his hand and saluted, and said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Long, I am Wan Baobang, commander of the 543rd Brigade and commander-in-chief of the artillery of the 60th Army. "I thought, it's really a good job.

Zhang Chong came back to his senses at this time, and he was scolded, but his face was haha.

"Artillery commander-in-chief?" Long Xiaotian asked. After capturing Yuwang Mountain, Long Xiaotian left to collect intelligence at Yue Li's urging. After Lu Han put the mountain artillery of the 60th Army and the field artillery battalion sent by the ****** and Long Xiaotian howitzers in place, he gathered all these together and commanded them by Wan Baobang, so Long Xiaotian was not familiar with them.

"That's right. After you left, Commander Lu gathered the artillery and handed it over to Brigade Commander Wan to command. Brigade Commander Wan was the commander of the artillery regiment during the Northern Expedition. Zhang Chong explained, paused, and added, "He studied in the artillery section of the Japanese non-commissioned officer school in his early years, and he used the techniques taught by the Japanese to beat the Japanese, which was very accurate." ”

Long Xiaotian nodded playfully and asked, "My howitzer is easy to use." ”

Wan Baobang immediately saluted and replied: "Report to the deputy chief of staff, the American-made howitzer you sent is very good, suppressing the Japanese 115 heavy artillery and cutting off the reinforcement line of the second echelon of the Japanese infantry." ”

Long Xiaotian's face sank, and he asked, "In that case, why did you let all the little devils infiltrate today?" ”

Wan Baobang blushed, bowed his head and said: "It rained heavily last night, and the devils attacked on a large scale, and soon became entangled with our Yunnan army, and the artillery could not attack. ”

Long Xiaotian turned his hands behind his back, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "Didn't the Japanese instructor teach you?" You must distinguish in advance every place on the front line of the first-line position or even the second-line position, measure the coordinates, and wait until night, as soon as there is movement, you will open fire, so that you are not afraid of hurting your own people. ”

Hearing Long Xiaotian's words, Wan Baobang thought a little, became excited, and said: "This plan is very good, the chief of staff deserves to be the chief of staff, it is really smart!" He excitedly removed the subphrase.

"Hehe, where, where, I'm just a little military strategist!" Long Xiaotian said modestly, almost amusing Zhang Wan and the others.

"The Japanese army now has more than a dozen field artillery heavy artillery concentrated in Puwang Village, bomb him to me!" Long Xiaotian said.

Wan Baobang's playful expression then turned into shock, and he asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" ”

Zhang Chong looked at Long Xiaotian's expression, not joking, and explained: "Artillery commander, you must know that Xiaotian's official identity is a major general of the military command, what is this bit of information, even if the Japanese troops in several provinces around Xuzhou, Xiaotian knows it well!" Zhang Chong knew that Long Xiaotian went out this time to collect intelligence on the Japanese army, and since he came back, he would definitely have something to gain.

"Hmm. The Japanese army rushed towards Xuzhou this time, with more than 200,000 troops. Long Xiaotian said in a deep voice, his young face showing a rare solemnity.

More than 200,000, this number scared Zhang Wanduo. After more than ten days of fighting, they understood how strong the Japanese army was, even if the weapons and equipment of the Yunnan army were the best, it was difficult to deal with them, and the Nagase detachment in front of them was estimated to have several thousand people, which made them anxious, and the regiment commander was killed or wounded five or six.

"You don't have to be afraid, with me, little Japan will definitely lose!" Long Xiaotian said loudly, and a powerful momentum suddenly rose on his face, killing gods and seeing Buddhas, and Zhang Wan's two people were shocked and puzzled, even if you are a martial arts master, qigong is invincible, can you turn things around by yourself?

Seeing Zhang Wan's surprise, Long Xiaotian dispersed his momentum and said with a smile: "With your status, you shouldn't know this secret. Two, I have three bottles of green beer here, one bottle per person! As he spoke, he threw away the empty bottle and took out three bottles of beer to distribute.

Zhang Wan's two people were embarrassed and speechless, and bit off the bottle cap with his mouth, Long Xiaotian still easily unscrewed the bottle cap with his hands, drank it all in one gulp, smashed his mouth, and said: "Two days ago, I went to Qingdao to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and I drank green beer there, which is really good, I heard that I won a grand prize abroad." I just came back from Bengbu, and my mouth was dry so that I could shoot the devils, and I drank green beer while enjoying it. “

Wan Baobang stared at the wine bottle and said, "He is M, the origin is Qingdao, the trademark is the sun, and the Japanese are man-made." ”

"That's why I call this beer Tsingtao Beer, and that's what Xiaotian calls it. I've drunk it before and it tastes good. Zhang Chong said and drank, just took a sip, Long Xiaotian's words suddenly flashed in his mind, he was nervous, coughed, and choked.

"Xiaotian, what did you just say? I arrived in Qingdao two days ago, and now I just came back from Bengbu? Zhang Chong looked at Long Xiaotian stupidly.

said that he had leaked his mouth, Long Xiaotian scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "It's wrong, I went to Qingdao two days ago, I didn't go to Bengbu, I have internal eyeliner." ”

Zhang Chong rolled his eyes and said, "It's pretty much the same." However, in two days, I came back on horseback, and it was fast enough. ”

"Let's go to the artillery position." Long Xiaotian said, the two nodded, strode downhill, the guards led the horses, and the group galloped on horseback, and soon came to the heavy artillery and field artillery positions of the Yunnan army in Chehui Mountain, west of Yuwang Mountain.

The artillerymen were on standby. Six American-made howitzers stood silently. Long Xiaotian walked over and rubbed the barrel of the cannon, looking cherished.

"Chief of Staff, we don't have a lot of shells, the devil's artillery position is really in Puwang Village?" Wan Baobang asked carefully.

Long Xiaotian nodded, and then said, "I'll give you two hundred shells later, just fight!" "He used the Ring today to make a copy of a Browning machine gun and a batch of bullets, leaving only two copies left.

Wan Baobang saluted, and then said loudly to an adjutant beside him: "According to the reconnaissance, there is a devil artillery position in Puwang Village, and I order, according to the measured coordinates, immediately carry out ten rounds of artillery bombardment on Puwang Village!" ”

The adjutant then gave the order. The Yunnan artillery quickly moved into action, shaking the wheels, adjusting the muzzles, and then reloading.

The adjutant waved the red flag down vigorously and shouted: "Launch!" ”

The gunners pulled the fire rope, swished, and one shell after another flew out, rushing towards Puwang Village, and after a while, it landed and exploded, boom, shrapnel flew in all directions, hitting the devil's cannon and artillery. Some hit the devil's shells and exploded in a row.

The little devils were blinded, defenseless, wow wow strange screams, frightened to flee in all directions, shells fell, devil corpses flew up, and in the blink of an eye, fireworks were enveloped, and the smell of barbecue was everywhere.

At this time, in mid-air, Long Xiaotian observed the effect of the artillery bombardment and felt that the artillery commanded by Wan Baobang was really good. Subsequently, he saw that the devils of the two infantry squadrons were assembling in the woods between the villages of Xiaoyang and immediately landed. At this time, the position was already full of smoke, and no one noticed it.

On the side of the Dian army, after ten rounds of shelling, Wan Baobang immediately shouted: "Transfer your position, hurry up and clean up!" Shift south! ”

The artillerymen immediately gathered the artillery mounts.

After hearing this, Long Xiaotian couldn't help but secretly praise that the devil's observation post would quickly measure its position according to the fireworks launched by the Dian army, and then send planes to bomb it.

"Brigade Commander Wan, you did a good job just now, the devil cannon has basically been destroyed. You deserve to be a sharpshooter! Long Xiaotian said.

Wan Baobang was a little puzzled, and then raised his binoculars to look at the top of the mountain, and after a while, the artillery observation post there reported that the shelling effect was effective.

Wan Baobang glanced at Long Xiaotian strangely and said, "Chief of Staff, thank you for the information. You're better than a sharpshooter! Oh, we're going to get back to the south, the little devil planes will be there in a moment. ”

"Don't retreat to the south, retreat to the east!" Long Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Oriental? Heading in the direction of the enemy? Wan Baobang asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Long Xiaotian said and put his hands behind his back, "There are two squadrons of devils in the woods of Xiaoyang Village who are gathering, preparing to counterattack!" ”

Wan Baobang stared at Long Xiaotian for a moment, then turned around and shouted: "Brothers, according to reconnaissance, there are devils in the woods of Daxiao Yang Village, I order, the position is moved forward!" Fast! ”

At the sound of the order, the artillerymen sped up even more, camouflaged the artillery, and advanced under the cover of the surrounding woods.

After a while, five or six Japanese Type 96 heavy bombers pounced on the position of the Yunnan army just now, but unfortunately they were indiscriminately bombed.

When the Japanese planes flew away, the artillery of the Yunnan army pulled out of the woods, removed their camouflage, and bombarded the woods in the northeast of Xiaoyang Village.

The Japanese troops in the woods were assembled, sorted out the order of departure, and were about to leave, when they were covered by overwhelming artillery fire, and more than 500 people went to see Amaterasu.

Seeing the news fed back by the observation post, Wan Baobang was extremely excited, and his eyes were full of admiration and a hint of surprise when he looked at Long Xiaotian.

"I think the Dian army can relax today, and the Japanese army will not attack." Long Xiaotian said with a smile. He was right, the Japanese army stopped attacking on this day, and the battlefield was rarely quiet after fighting for several days and nights.

"Hmm. The Dian army should also rest. Zhang Chong, who was beside him, said with a long sigh of relief.

Wan Baobang said to the adjutant beside him: "Adjutant Zhang, you will let people measure the coordinates of the positions in Yuwang Mountain, and if the devils come back at night, they will be beaten according to the coordinates!" ”

The adjutant promised to leave.

"Yue Li is at Commander Lu's." Long Xiaotian asked.

"Yes, in Yujiawa." Zhang Chong replied, "Are you going to send information, I'll go too!" "The psychological impact of 200,000 Japanese troops on Zhang Chong was too great.

Long Xiaotian straightened his face and said solemnly: "Senior Commander Zhang, with your status, you shouldn't know this military secret at the moment, so don't spread it to the outside world, so as not to shake the morale of the army." Your only mission at the moment is to defend Yuwang Mountain! I estimate that Li Zongren will arrange the withdrawal of the army, but I am afraid that your Dian army will withdraw in the end! ”

Zhang Chong's face was red and his neck was thick, his lips moved a few times, and finally he didn't say anything.

"Don't worry." Long Xiaotian patted Zhang Chong's shoulder with a smile and said, "I admire you Yunnan men, I will be with you!" ”

I don't know why, after listening to Long Xiaotian's statement, Zhang Chong's heart was full of confidence that he would win.
