Chapter 31: Killing Masao Tanino

Previous Chapter

Gong Guyuan's brigade immediately broke through to the southeast in a frenzied manner, and more than 200 crooked target light machine guns fired at the southeast at the same time, and the soldiers of the first brigade in front of them immediately fell in a large area, although the first brigade and the patrol regiment worked together to block Gong Guyuan's brigade, Gong Guyuan's brigade still opened a bloody way and escaped.

However, although Gong Guyuan's brigade successfully broke through, Gong Guyuan's brigade suffered heavy casualties, and Luo Gang saw that Gong Guyuan had fled, and there was no danger in Panlongling. Therefore, Luo Gang ordered a regiment to stay in the guarding position, and the rest of the troops immediately rushed to the Lechuan Valley to reinforce the third brigade, Guo Yukun also ordered the patrol regiment to rush to the Lechuan Valley, and at this time Ouyang Yunfei arrived with the three battalions and three companies.

Luo Gang saw that it was Ouyang Yunfei, and Luo Gang said loudly: "Ouyang Yunfei, you hurry up and rush to Lechuan Valley with us to reinforce the Third Brigade." Ouyang Yunfei nodded and said, "Brothers, immediately rush to Lechuan Valley to reinforce the Third Brigade of the Independent Division." "Now there are about 5,000 people left in the 1st Brigade, plus 3,000 people from the patrol regiment, the total strength of the two sides is about 8,000 people.

These 8,000 people immediately pounced on the Lechuan Valley, at this time the disparity between the strength of the two sides is very great, and now there are less than 3,000 people left in the third brigade, and the brothers of the third brigade and the Black Dragon Village have added nearly 4,000 people, plus the 8,000 people who came to reinforce, together it is more than 12,000 people.

The Yamada Brigade used to be about 10,000 people, but after several days of fierce fighting, there are only about 6,000 people left, so the strength of the enemy and us is now one to two, so the strength of the national army now obviously has an absolute advantage.

As soon as the soldiers of the first brigade and the patrol regiment arrived, this time Yamada Taro could not bear it anymore, and Yamada Taro saw that they were now completely surrounded by each other, and Yamada Taro hurriedly sent a telegram to Tanino Masao asking for rapid reinforcements.

In fact, Tanino Masao's current situation is worse than Yamada Taro, Tanino Masao personally came to the position to command the troops to fight, at this time the reporter told Tanino Masao that Gong Guyuan had escaped, this was the last telegram he sent, Tanino Masao was almost mad when he heard it, Tanino Masao was yelling there like a mad dog.

At this time, Tanino Masao noticed that his mountain artillery position was no longer sounding, and Tanino Masao roared angrily: "Why is my mountain artillery position not ringing." At this time, a soldier ran over and shouted: "Report to Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the mountain artillery position has long been destroyed by the Chinese army. ”

When Tanino Masao heard this, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and Tanino Masao said to himself: "How can this be, how can this be." ”

Fang Tiancheng personally came to Wangtianya to command the battle, Fang Tiancheng kept asking about the situation of the first brigade and the third brigade, and the first brigade and the third brigade truthfully reported the situation to Fang Tiancheng, and Fang Tiancheng immediately laughed when he heard it.

Fang Tiancheng laughed and said: "Dog Day Tanino Masao, at the beginning, Lao Tzu's troops suffered heavy casualties from your artillery bombardment, and the soldiers couldn't raise their heads at all, and now it's time for you to taste the taste of being bombed." Tanaka said loudly: "Master, we have exhausted the little devil's nest before, and now our divine artillery battalion should also exert its might." ”

Fang Tiancheng nodded and said: "Order the Divine Artillery Battalion, aim at the mortar position on the position of the Guye Division, and blow him up for me, don't feel sorry for those shells and hit me hard." ”

The artillery battalion can be said to be the core combat effectiveness of the independent division, and more than 200 mortars were obtained by Tiancheng through Dai Yunshan ten years ago, and asked Chairman Jiang to get them, but at first Chairman Jiang did not agree, so Dai Yunshan used Dai Li's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and Chairman Jiang really had no choice, so he gave Fang Tiancheng more than 200 mortars.

Fang Tiancheng got more than 200 mortars is like a treasure, Fang Tiancheng pulled out hundreds of soldiers from the army to learn to fight artillery, after ten years of hard training, the artillery battalion used up tens of thousands of shells in peacetime training alone, these hundreds of artillery can be said to be fed with shells, so they hit the artillery accurately, so Fang Tiancheng called this mortar battalion the artillery battalion.

At first, Fang Tiancheng never used the artillery battalion, because Fang Tiancheng saw that the Japanese army's large-caliber mountain artillery was very accurate, and as long as there were particularly fierce firepower points on the position of the independent division, a row of Japanese artillery shells came over, and those firepower points were immediately destroyed.

This artillery battalion is Fang Tiancheng's baby pimple, Fang Tiancheng not only has no choice but to use the artillery battalion no matter what, even if the artillery battalion is used, it will not help, and it can only become cannon fodder for the Japanese army.

The firing range of the Japanese army's large-caliber mountain artillery is several times that of the mortar, so the artillery battalion cannot reach the Japanese army's mountain artillery position at all, and Fang Tiancheng clearly realized that as long as the artillery battalion fires, it will not take five minutes for the artillery battalion to be destroyed by the Japanese mountain artillery.

Therefore, Fang Tiancheng never dared to use the Divine Artillery Battalion, and as soon as Fang Tiancheng heard that the little devil's mountain artillery position had been destroyed, Fang Tiancheng immediately ordered the Divine Artillery Battalion to violently bombard the Japanese army's position.

This time, the Japanese troops on the front were poured blood mold, and the rows of mortar shells were like eyes, and they accurately hit the Japanese mortar positions, although the Japanese large-caliber mountain artillery was destroyed, but the Japanese still had mortar positions, and the Japanese mortars still caused great casualties to the independent division.

Rows of mortar shells fell on the mortar positions of the Japanese army, and suddenly only the rumbling and violent explosions were heard one after another, that is, in three to five minutes, the mortar positions of the Japanese army were all destroyed, and the Japanese artillery was blown into the sky in an instant, and the Japanese mortars were also blown into piles of scrap copper and rotten iron.

Fang Tiancheng laughed happily when he saw it, Fang Tiancheng saw that the Japanese mortar's positions had been killed, and Fang Tiancheng ordered the artillery battalion to kill all the light and heavy machine gun fire points of the Japanese army, and the rows of mortar shells were like eyes, accurately hitting the fire points of the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns.

The fire points of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns were destroyed one after another, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and finally Fang Tiancheng ordered the artillery battalion to shoot all the shells and launch a carpet bombardment with rapid fire.

The bombardment of the artillery battalion was simply catastrophic for the Japanese army, and rows of mortar shells fell on the Japanese positions, and in an instant the Japanese troops were blown up with stumps and broken arms accompanied by flesh and blood.

Tanino Masao never dreamed that the independent division would have such a powerful and fierce artillery fire, Tanino Masao thought that the current independent division was already at the end of the crossbow, but Tanino Masao did not expect that the independent division would have a mortar battalion with powerful firepower.

Tanino Masao sat on the ground dumbfounded, and staff officer Gu Yeming ran over and shouted: "Your Excellency the division commander, let's retreat quickly, now it is not that we are destroying the independent division, but that we are being wiped out by the independent division, if we don't retreat, our Tanino division will be wiped out." ”

Tanino Masao suddenly shouted: "No, we can't withdraw now, I swear when I come, I will make a military order to the commander-in-chief, General Okamura Ningji, if I can't take Panlong County, I will cut myself in front of Okamura Ningji." ”

Staff Officer Gu Yeming said loudly: "Your Excellency the division commander, Commander-in-Chief Okamura Ningji will definitely understand your difficulties, our Tanino division has been invincible in the past, and we can't shoot you just because we lost this battle." ”

Tanino Masao stood up, Tanino Masao took the binoculars and carefully observed the battle situation in front of him, and finally Tanino Masao said helplessly: "Now it seems that our defeat is decided." ”

At this time, Fang Tiancheng also took a telescope to carefully observe the movements of the Japanese army, and Fang Tiancheng suddenly saw a Japanese officer in the distance, who was holding a command knife and holding a telescope to observe the position of the independent division.

Although Fang Tiancheng didn't know that this was Tanino Masao, judging from the military uniform and style of this Japanese officer, this Japanese officer must be a big official, and Fang Tiancheng couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw it.

Fang Tiancheng immediately came to Liu Guozhu, the commander of the Divine Artillery Battalion, and Fang Tiancheng said loudly: "Pillar, come here." As soon as Liu Guozhu heard this, he hurriedly ran to Fang Tiancheng, and Liu Guozhu said, "Master, what's the matter with you." Fang Tiancheng immediately handed the telescope to Liu Guozhu, and Fang Tiancheng said, "Zhuzi, have you seen the devil officer holding the telescope in the southeast direction." ”

Liu Guozhu took the telescope and took a closer look, Liu Guozhu said, "I saw it." Fang Tiancheng said with a smile: "I estimate that this Japanese officer must be a big official, can you kid kill that devil's officer with one shot." Liu Guozhu scratched his scalp when he heard this and said, "Master, this is simply impossible. ”

Fang Tiancheng couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, Fang Tiancheng slapped Liu Guozhu on the back of the head, Fang Tiancheng scolded: "You shit, you kid brags in front of everyone every day, saying how accurate you are at shooting, why can't you do it now." ”

Liu Guozhu said: "What do you know about the division, the maximum range of our mortar is only 800 meters, of course, although it can hit so far, it will lose its accuracy, the effective range of the mortar is between 400 meters and 500 meters, I measured the distance just now, the officer of that devil is at least a thousand meters away from us, our mortar is not enough at all, how can you let me shoot the officer of that devil." ”

Fang Tiancheng nodded when he heard this and said, "So that's the case, then I'll order the soldiers of the third company to cover you, if you are allowed to advance another five hundred meters, can you shoot that devil's officer." Liu Guozhu nodded and said, "There should be no problem." ”

Fang Tiancheng nodded when he heard this, and shouted: "Three companies, you immediately cover Liu Guozhu's advance of five hundred meters. When the soldiers of the third company heard this, they immediately rushed forward, Liu Guozhu followed closely with two artillerymen, and the soldiers in front blocked Liu Guozhu and them tightly, so Liu Guozhu did not have to worry about being hit by Japanese bullets.

Liu Guozhu kept advancing for nearly six hundred meters, and Liu Guozhu said loudly: "Okayβ€”it's almost." Liu Guozhu said and gave a thumbs up to visually measure the distance and height, and then Liu Guozhu skillfully loaded the shell, and then Liu Guozhu immediately pulled the trigger, only to hear a tom The shell suddenly whistled out.

Tanino Masao was holding a telescope to carefully observe the situation of the independent division, when suddenly a shell landed next to Tanino Masao and exploded, the shell kicked up a puff of dust, and after the dust landed, Tanino Masao immediately fell straight to the ground.

Fang Tiancheng took the telescope and saw it clearly, Fang Tiancheng happily slapped his thigh and shouted, "Well done the pillar." ”
