Chapter 49: A lightning bolt
"I want our troops to forget their fears and wash away the shame of defeat in this battle! Do you understand? Kitaoka Yoshino said: "Our troops of the Imperial Japanese Army must not be afraid of an army of an inferior nation, they are the people of China, and they are an inferior nation. ”
"Hey!"
Kitaoka Yoshino pulled out a katana and looked at the cold light and said to himself, "I won't lose to a Shina." As he spoke, he plunged the knife into the sheath at once, revealing a murderous look on his face.
In fact, the main reason why Kitaoka Yoshino refused to retreat was that he was afraid that he would not be able to think that the Japanese military department would confess that Kono Zuobei was dead, and his Yoshino Division incorporated several wings of Kono Zuobei's 19th Division, which made him stronger in the Japanese military circles, but because of his inaction, the 19th Division suffered a fate equivalent to annihilation, if he withdrew to Hedong like this, the Japanese Army Headquarters would definitely hold him responsible, so he chose to fight with the National Youth League first, if he could win a big victory, it would be good, If the National Youth League is really strong, then he will have an explanation in the army headquarters. Moreover, he felt humiliated by his defeat on the battlefield of Hudong, so as a samurai, he had to wash away his shame with the blood of his enemies.
At the same time, the offensive position of the National Youth League on the periphery of Gulu County. The troops had already launched a strong offensive posture, all the troops had gathered on the outskirts of Gulu County, sporadic gunfire rang out on the position, and everyone was squatting in the tunnels waiting for the order to attack.
Sun Zhiyu hurriedly walked into the command post of the regiment headquarters and said: "Shaofan, it's not right in the city!" Looking at the posture of the devil on the periphery, I see that there is more than one unit of the Yoshino Division in this Gulu County! ”
Shen Shaofan looked at Zhi Yu and handed over a glass of water with a smile and said, "There are more than 62,000 devils in the city, and the strength is twice as strong as ours. There are three wings of the 19th Division, which are also stationed in Gu Lu, and I am afraid that they have now received orders from Kitaoka Yoshino. ”
"Then it's troublesome, the offensive and defensive battles have always been the biggest losses for the attackers and the defenders can wait for work, not to mention that the devils have twice as many troops as us. No wonder that Kitaoka Yoshino has no fear, neither sending troops to rescue nor retreating. Sun Zhiyu said.
Shen Shaofan said: "Kitaoka Yoshino is putting on a stubborn position. Gu Lu is the core of the three cities, if we can't take Gu Lu, then our one-night battle will be in vain, so Gu Lu we are decided, the problem is how to attack. ”
A real battle is about to begin, Shen Shaofan and Kitaoka Yoshino both know in their hearts that many people will die in this battle, but they have no intention of backing down, Shen Shaofan is for the country, for the sake of the saber that he swore in the face of the saber. Kitaoka Yoshino, on the other hand, was already mired in an extremely psychologically distorted Sithian geography, sending the lives of tens of thousands of young people in Japan to the point of instant death just to satisfy his pathological fascist fanaticism and the narcissism of the superior people.
The night of fighting will eventually come to an end, but war is like a drama, when the curtain falls on one stage, the prologue of another is about to be raised. The end of a tragic battle does not mean a war of catastrophe, and the end of a war of destruction does not mean that there will be no war at all.
The fall of the curtain is equivalent to the opening of a prologue, and Shen Shaofan is the one who pulls the rope that opens the prologue. At this time, he was extremely calm in front of Sun Zhiyu, in fact, he knew in his heart that he and his troops were in a dilemma, if he didn't fight Kitaoka Yoshino, he would definitely lie in the city of Gulu, if he wanted to fight, he would have to beat Kitaoka Yoshino, and he retreated east to cross the river, at this time, more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the National Youth League were waiting for his order, and they would pay their lives for the invasion of this county, in fact, this was the last thing Shaofan wanted to see, but as a military commander, he had to send some of their outstanding young people to the road of death, Wars with the undead are the most cruel disasters in the world.
At this time, Lei Fei ran in and said excitedly: "Regiment commander, the 412 Artillery Brigade has come to support us." ”
"Oh!" This is nothing more than good news, because with the fire support of this artillery brigade, it is possible to blow up the positions on the outskirts of the county town. He took off his military uniform and hurriedly walked out of the headquarters to greet the brigade commander who was sending charcoal in the snow.
The 412 Artillery Brigade is a unit under the command of the 12th Division of the 15th Group Army of Commander-in-Chief Chen Cheng, but the 12th Division seems to be not eye-catching at all in Chen Cheng's eyes, because the commander of the 12th Division, Zhu Jiuping, was originally a subordinate of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, and later defected to the Wuhan government, and was incorporated by Chiang Kai-shek. Qian Xiangxu, the brigade commander of the 412 Artillery Brigade, is Zhu Jiuping's old subordinate, who used to study at the Baoding Military Academy for a few years, don't look at his grade, he is quite righteous, and he is angry when he just saw the little devil.
Shen Shaofan saw the bright bald head and the free and easy Qian Xiangxu in a bunker, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Oops! I'm embarrassed to ask for money to help me."
Qian Xiangxu glanced at Shaofan and laughed: "Lao Tzu! You Huangpu dolls are really fucking good at writing Zou Zou. I'm embarrassed that I'm here. Lao Tzu is here to fight devils, not to listen to the sweet words of your Whampoa dolls. If you want to listen to sweet words, I won't go to the kiln to listen to the girl, isn't it more angry than you! ”
"Haha......" Shen Shaofan smiled: "Qian Lao is really a refreshing person!" ”
"That's it! I said that my mountain artillery will be under your command from now on, and I don't care. I'm drinking your tea and smoking your cigarettes right here. Qian Xiangxu smiled and sat in the command center, casually picked up Shaofan's Hardman from the table and smoked it.
Shaofan smiled: "Okay! Then the junior won't be polite to your old man. ”
"You're welcome!" Qian Xiangxu shouted: "Adjutant! Now that you are going to the National Youth League, these dolls have captured the county seat, and you all listen to this doll. Qian Xiangxu pointed to Shaofan and his adjutant after explaining, and then tilted his two feet on the table and said, "Damn! It's fucking tiring to fight in the middle of the night. As he spoke, he closed his eyes and began to hum a little song.
Shen Shaofan came to the adjutant with a smile and said: "Then please tell the brothers of the 412 Brigade to set up the shooting Zhuyuan on the position of the devils outside the county, and as soon as the battle starts, we will work with the artillery company of our regiment to cover the entire devil's position with firepower, and be sure to blow up all the devils' bunkers and fortifications." ”
"Yes!" The adjutant immediately went down to make preparations for battle.
"Report! All units from the 1st to the 5th battalion have been assembled! ”
"Report! The armored units of the 31st and 122nd divisions have already reached their designated combat positions. ”
"Good!" Shen Shaofan showed an excited expression on his face and said to Sun Zhiyu: "Now it's almost east wind." ”
"Yes!" Sun Zhiyu said.
"Dongfeng? What east wind? Qian Xiangxu asked suspiciously.
Shen Shaofan said: "Old Qian! I'll show you a good show later. ”
"Report! The operational readiness of the 412 Artillery Brigade has been completed. ”
"Good! All artillery was ordered to launch a thirty-minute volley of fire on the forward positions of the Japanese army. Shen Shaofan said.
"What are you doing?" Qian Xiangxu asked curiously.
Shen Shaofan said: "Old Qian! You can't give up your shells? ”
"Nonsense! That's Lao Jiang's money, and it's not mine, so there's nothing to be reluctant about. Qian Xiangxu said with a smile.
Shen Shaofan said: "Okay! I'm going to drive the little devils in the county to the east of the river at once. ”
"Disposable?" Qian Xiangxu felt a little that the young man in front of him was bragging.
"Report! The call from the aviation brigade will take off in fifteen minutes. It was divided into three waves, each with 20 American fighters. ”
"Hmmm! Got it! Shen Shaofan came to Sun Zhiyu and said, "I handed over the 1st to 5th battalions to Tianfang. Now I will give you the teaching and the pre-dry column. ”
"Yes!" Sun Zhiyu saluted and walked out of the headquarters.
"Aviation brigade?" Qian Xiangxu didn't believe his ears and said to himself: "This doll is too capable!" ”
"Old money! Our regimental commander is very capable! This air brigade was specially transferred to him by General Zhang to fight this county seat. Su Li held a Go board and said, "Old Qian! I heard that you like to play Go, and I will accompany you to kill a game? ”
"Okay! Whoever loses has to have a drink! Qian Xiangxu smiled and touched his bald head.
"No problem?" Su Li said with a smile. Because the independent column suffered too many casualties during the attack on Gaoxing and needed to rest, it was responsible for the vigilance of the regimental headquarters and guarded the company; Special Service Company; The engineer company was ready to enter the city and fight in the streets.
A sharp roar swept over the sky's head, followed by an earth-shattering explosion on the Japanese position, and the entire position was shaken, and the Japanese position was blown up by shells, flying sand and rocks, and smoke filled the smoke.
The soldiers on the artillery position were busy reloading and firing, and the coherent movements were extremely skillful. All the artillery was transferred to different coordinates to bomb the forward position of the Japanese army, which was earth-shattering, and the explosion point was quite accurate, and rows of shells started from the first line of defense of the Japanese forward position to the end of the county city wall, and the fire hit, but none of them landed in Gulu County. Ten cannons for a unit, a standard-bearer, the order to happen, from different directions heard one after another cannon strings and orders, hundreds of cannons roared at the same time, with the Chinese nation's hatred of foreign invaders, on the Japanese army's position.
Blocking Tianfang looked at the forward position of the Japanese army and laughed: "Haha...... This kind of battle can only be fought by our National Youth League! ”
The devils in Gulu County were busy, and groups of devils were carrying ammunition and sandbags, and they seemed to know that the positions outside the city would not be able to withstand for long.
A young man panted and ran to Kitaoka Yoshino, and he didn't even bother to salute the military salute: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army launched a fire salvo attack on our front, and the entire position was in a sea of fire. ”
"Firepower?" Kitaoka Yoshino looked at the map with a puzzled look on his face and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the people of China want to eat and transfer my troops?" ”
"Your Excellency General, the firepower of the people of China is too fierce, and more than half of the troops on the position have been lost."
"What the hell are the people doing? This is the first time I have seen this kind of fighting method in China, and it looks like a kind of combat method, but I can't remember it. Kitaoka Yoshino said to himself.
At this time, Kitaoka Yoshino was not thinking about the casualties on the position, but thinking about what his next move would be.
When the last shell fell into the devil's position and exploded, Blocking the sky had already led people like a big net to slowly advance towards the devil's position, in front of which were nearly a hundred tanks rumbling open, and from time to time a few guns were put on the road, and then ** planes appeared in the sky, they soared and leaped in the air, roaring and tumbling, and strafing towards the devil's position, the devils had never seen such a strong offensive, and they had long been frightened. A defensive position that Kitaoka Yoshino regarded as a steel plate structure became extremely brittle without casualties among the National Youth League.
