Chapter Seventy-Seven: Detonating Artillery Positions
"Hey! General, everything is fine here, there is no problem at all, and I have not been attacked by any enemy. May I ask Your Excellency, General, where did the explosions that are taking place come from? "That Shimomura Shaozo is also very curious, and he asked the question of Ushijima Man on the phone.
"Oh, I haven't received any reports of that yet." Ushijima suddenly felt that it seemed to be suspicious of being an official when he spoke like this, and hurriedly made a further explanation: "I also heard the explosion, and it sounded like it came from the baggage squadron, but they haven't reported it to me yet, so I'll send someone over to check." Speaking of which, General Ushijima found that he explained it in such detail to a subordinate that it seemed to be a bit off.
"Okay, Shimomura-kun, you must maintain a high level of vigilance, and you must not let the enemy make any mess in your place!" It's really troublesome to talk to your subordinates too much, so it's better to say whatever comes to mind. Ushijima suddenly had such a strange thought in his head.
"Hey! Please rest assured, Your Excellency! The Shimomura Shosa was expressing his determination to his general, when suddenly the microphone came "Boom! There was a loud bang, followed by silence.
"Shimomura-kun, Shimomura-kun! Shimomura Shaosa! General Ushijima, who was in a hurry, shouted into the microphone a few times, but there was no reaction at all. No way, after hanging up the phone, I shook the crank a few times, "Give me a heavy artillery brigade!" This call was so important that Ushijima couldn't help but yell at the switchboard operator.
After more than ten seconds, the voice of the operator came from the microphone: "I'm sorry general, the phone of the heavy artillery brigade can't be connected." We've sent someone to check the line. ”
"Yaga!" He cursed in a low voice and slammed the phone on the phone base. Fortunately, the quality of things in these years is good, and General Ushijima hit him so hard, and the phone was still not broken at all, not even cracks.
"Immediately send a cavalry squad to the heavy artillery brigade to find out the situation and report back!" The current cavalry brigade can only be called upon as an internal communications soldier.
"Hey!" The herald bowed his head in agreement and ran out quickly.
Then he called the baggage squadron and all the other directly subordinate units of the detachment, except for his detachment headquarters, it seems that the other units have been attacked to varying degrees!
Heavy artillery brigade. While Shimomura Ichiro and Ushijima were talking on the phone, several dogs carrying bombs suddenly rushed in from the devil's heavy artillery position. The dogs came in at great speed, without a sound, and now it was dark, and none of the Japanese troops in the heavy artillery positions noticed the invaders.
After the dogs entered the position, they quickly dispersed, pounced in different directions of the position, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the darkness. One of them somehow took a fancy to the tent at the command post of the middle brigade, maybe it was more like a nest, right?
That's what happened to be a coincidence. If it were under normal circumstances, maybe this big dog would still fight with Shimomura Shaozo who was talking, or the staff officers, guards and other devils here, after all, these dogs have been training for the past few days to bite devils. Who knew that this time it was so coincidental, the big dog had just rushed into the command post of the heavy artillery brigade, "Boom! "There was a loud bang, and the dog bomb actually exploded at this time!
Two kilograms of explosives, although not much, but the command post of this heavy artillery brigade is also not very big. Under the canvas roof of more than 20 square meters, there are a total of more than a dozen captains, guards, communicators, heralds, and staff officers. The two-kilogram explosive package can completely cover this tent with the effect of exploding.
With the loud sound of the explosion, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and debris flew all over the sky, and Shimomura Ichiro Shaosa, together with all the officers and soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade headquarters, and the dog that attacked the suicide bomber, became part of the flying debris.
The men, the dogs, and all the equipment in the command post were destroyed. The last explosion General Ushijima heard was the sound of this terrible attack. With this explosion, explosions sounded one after another on the heavy artillery positions. Explosions rang out, and finally, with a shocking bang, the real explosion began! The ammunition on the artillery positions was detonated by the dogs!
Before the dogs entered the artillery position, the artillerymen in the artillery position were still operating their cannons. The 23rd Wing was fighting the Chinese troops at the front, and these heavy artillery units were providing artillery support overnight. The area around the gun emplacements became the area with the largest concentration of Japanese soldiers.
The dogs who infiltrated the artillery position, with the skills they had trained in the past few days, discovered the area where the devils were concentrated at the first time. Since there are the most devils in the gun position, of course the dogs have to go there.
In fact, the bombs on these dogs exploded at about the same time, the dog that rushed into the command exploded first, and the other dogs were basically a few seconds or more than ten seconds late. Some of the dogs exploded before they could reach the devils, and two of them detonated the explosives just after they rushed to the gun position.
A Japanese ammunition man, who had just opened an ammunition box, took out a 105 mm caliber shell from the box, and was preparing to fill the howitzer next to it. Suddenly, a black shadow popped out of his side, and he bit the ammunition hand with his mouth open.
"Ahh The ammunition man let out a scream, instinctively trying to use the cannonball in his hand to fend off. "Boom!" There was a bang, and the explosive bag carried by the dog suddenly exploded at this time. Although the devil's ammunition man escaped the bite of the dog's mouth, he was blown to pieces by the bomb on the spot because of the distance. At the same time, the shell that the man was holding in his hand was also detonated.
Next to the shells was the ammunition box, and the remaining shells in the ammunition box then detonated, one after the other, one after the other, one explosion after another. The devils on the artillery positions cried wolves and howled, holding their heads and running around.
When the Japanese communications squadron and the cavalry squad that had been ordered to check the situation arrived at the scene, they saw a scene of fire and hell. There were fires everywhere, the explosions were still ringing without a sound, and the entire heavy artillery position was in a sea of fire. The heavy artillery that once made the Japanese army proud has completely disappeared. On the edge of the fire, some ragged Japanese soldiers could be faintly seen, they were the surviving heavy artillerymen.
The signal soldiers and cavalrymen looked at each other, and no one dared to rush into the fire. If this was an ordinary fire, they could still consider the possibility of going in to put out the fire, but when they were standing here, there were shocking explosions in the fire from time to time, who would dare to go over there? Don't want to die?
As soon as the devils discussed, they couldn't stay here for a long time, so hurry back and report to General Ushijima! This is an artillery position, and it was a shell that exploded, and who knows if a piece of shrapnel will fly out and kill someone present? The heavy artillery brigade no longer exists, and it is necessary to go back and report to the general immediately!
