Chapter 230: Something Isn't Right!
There was no threat from the little devil's plane overhead, and many people who still chose to stay in Guihua City, listening to the sound of artillery from the direction of Suiyuan City, also knew that the Eighth Route Army had begun to attack. As for who wins and who loses, we will probably know after dawn.
At the same time, the convoy that came again to transport supplies also slowly drove onto the highway and went straight to Guisui. As far as the officers and men of the transport convoy are concerned, they also know that this time the empty car will come and they will be able to return with a full load.
For the current Eighth Route Army, there are too few materials produced by the base areas themselves. If you want to quickly increase your strength and material reserves, capture has become the fastest shortcut for the Eighth Route Army to accumulate materials.
As long as the logistics officers and men who have some understanding of the current situation know that there will definitely be an anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in the base areas in the future. In the face of menacing little devils, if there is no sufficient material reserves, it is difficult to hold on for too long.
Many times, fighting a war is a logistics fight. If the logistical supply is insufficient, the troops on the front line will also find it difficult to cook without rice. Therefore, at this time, the amount of seizures by the independent column is also related to whether the anti-encirclement and suppression in the base areas can be victorious.
According to He Zhengdao's order, the artillery brigade built artillery positions in groups of two with the mountain artillery at hand. After firing three shells, the artilleryman in charge of the transfer immediately hung the artillery on the carriage next to him and urged the pack horse to leave quickly.
Not long after the transfer of these artillery positions, the little devil artillery in Suiyuan City had already launched a counterattack. And the artillery positions of the little devils are also very scattered. If you want to carry out a counterattack, it will be no less difficult for the artillery brigade.
Looking at the previously preset artillery position, a huge explosion sounded, and Zhu Jie, who was the commander of the artillery, said with envy: "Damn." The cannon with a large caliber is enjoyable to listen to! This cannon. Lao Tzu must take it! ”
For Zhu Definition, who loves artillery, even if he is allowed to live with the cannon pipe in his arms every day. For this artillery idiot brigade commander. Not to mention that many people know about the independent column, even the central government and the headquarters know it very well.
As the only artillery brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, Zhu Definition is also very enviable. The commander of the troops in these years, who does not know the role of artillery? An artillery brigade is indeed too rare!
Listening to the Japanese artillery in the city starting to counterattack, He Zhengdao looked at Li Xiangdong beside him, and said in a timely manner: "At most, there will be one hour at most, and our air force brigade will come over." When the time comes. Your reconnaissance brigade will be the main attacker.
According to the information we have so far, there is still an urn city in this Suiyuan City in front of us. Therefore, once the blasting is successful, the speed of the assault force must be fast. Only by sending troops into the city can we rely on our numerical superiority to eliminate these little devils.
Once the air raid begins, the artillery will also accompany your attack and launch a surprise attack from the southern wall. Tell the officers and men of the commando team not to be afraid of accidental injuries and to trust our comrades. Air Force Brigade. Can't buy us too much time, you know? ”
'Yes, please rest assured, commander, that our reconnaissance brigade is guaranteed to complete its mission. ’
Before the war. The artillery of the independent column adopted a guerrilla approach, and from time to time launched counterattacks against the Japanese field artillery wing in the city. Even though the Japanese artillery positions were set up and scattered, they were also destroyed by the artillery brigade.
Shigetoku Kuroda who learned the news. He said in disbelief: "Yaga, when." The artillery of China is so powerful? What's going on with the Field Artillery Wing? Why haven't the enemy's artillery positions been destroyed yet? ”
In the face of Kuroda Shigetoku's anger, Chief of Staff Kikawa Shiro said with some bitterness: "Your Excellency the division commander." Because of the fact that our field artillery wing was stuck in the city, the range of the artillery could not be used at all.
Based on previous artillery battles, it is almost certain that the opposing side has at least one wing of artillery in its hands, armed with 75-caliber mountain and field artillery. As soon as our artillery counterattacked, the remaining artillery units of the opposing side counterattacked.
In this case, it is understandable that there will be losses. However, I suggest that the field artillery wing should keep the 105-caliber artillery untouched and directly use the 75-caliber artillery to counteract. Large-caliber artillery remained in the city. ”
Despite the advantages of the city, it was possible to set up artillery positions around the city in the face of independent columns. In this case, unless the artillery position of the field artillery wing is set up in the center of the city. Otherwise, the artillery of the separate brigade outside the city will also be able to counterattack their artillery.
Regarding Kikawa Shiro's suggestion, Kuroda Shigetoku thought for a while and said, "Yo Xi, order the field artillery wing to set up the artillery position in the center of the city. It was open and a long way from the city walls.
With the artillery positions set up there, our 105 field guns were able to suppress the artillery of the Chinese army, and also provide artillery support to the defending troops at any time. As long as the Eighth Route Army outside the city starts to attack the city, I will definitely let them taste the power of artillery! ”
'Hey, General Wise! ’
As Kikawa Shiro issued the order to the field artillery wing, Zhu Definition outside the city also saw in time that the artillery counterattack of the Japanese army inside the city seemed to have eased a lot. This made Zhu Definition feel that the artillery in the city had been destroyed?
He Zhengdao, who also saw that the counterattack artillery fire in the city had become sparse, thought for a while and said: "It seems that the little devil's heavy artillery position has begun to shift!" If nothing else, the little devil will move the heavy artillery position to the center of the city.
If this is the case, then as soon as our air force arrives, there will be little devils who look good. Looking at the time, our Air Force should have taken off from Baotou, right? I really want to see what kind of expression the little devil will have after being attacked by the air! ”
When He Zhengdao was looking forward to the arrival of the Air Force, the Air Force Brigade, which had already taken off from Baotou Airport, went straight to Suiyuan City. For each of the pilots, they were very excited about the event.
Speaking of which, from the Anti-Japanese War to the present, most of the air forces of the Republic of China have adopted the strategy of avoiding war in the face of the air force of the little devils. Even if there were several air battles, the final result was a fiasco for the air force of the Republic of China.
It's not that they can't train well, it's more that the performance of the aircraft is not as good as that of the little devils. And most importantly, the little devils are able to produce supplementary aircraft on their own. And the Air Force of the Republic of China is fighting one less plane, and it can't afford to fight for consumption!
Before the war, artillery became the protagonist of the battlefield confrontation, and the Japanese troops in the city also felt very uncomfortable in the face of the shells that came into the city from outside the city from time to time. Even gradually, the Japanese artillery in the city discovered the rules.
'Baga, the Chinese artillery set up a number of artillery reserve positions outside the city. There are only a maximum of two guns per position, and after each gun fires six shells, they will move quickly. Our counterattack will not work at all. ’
As the captain of the Japanese artillery wing, I found that their artillery was getting less and less, but the artillery of the Eighth Route Army outside the city did not seem to have decreased at all, so I naturally felt very incredible. When did the artillery of Huaxia become more powerful than all of them?
It wasn't until a few rounds of confrontation that they finally found out. But in the face of this kind of artillery guerrilla warfare, the Japanese artillery in the city was equally powerless. What can be done is to expect their 105 guns to join the counterattack as soon as possible!
At this moment, the roar of an airplane suddenly sounded in the distant sky. The air defense sentries in Guihua City sounded the air defense siren at the right time. Listening to this harsh sound, many people desperately looked for a place to hide.
'It's so late, why is the little devil's plane here again?' This time, the Eighth Route Army attacking Suiyuan City is only afraid of trouble! ’
Looking at the little devil plane flying from the head of the naturalized city, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and began to worry about the Eighth Route Army attacking Suiyuan City. After all, even ordinary people know how powerful the little devil plane is these days.
Hearing the rumbling sound in the air, He Zhengdao picked up the telescope and glanced at it and said, "Okay!" Our Air Force has finally arrived! Three flares, ordering our guide troops, began to guide the air force to launch the bombing. ”
'Yes, Commander! ’
While many of the Eighth Route Army outside the city were worried, many officers who commanded the battle said with joy on their faces: "Comrades, prepare for battle. Next, there is a tough battle to be fought. When the reconnaissance brigade opens the gap, we must follow. ”
The soldier who said this was stunned and said: "Company commander, didn't you see the little devil plane in the sky?" ”
'See! It's just that I saw it, and I ordered you to prepare for the attack! Rest assured, this plane is a little devil, but the one who flies the plane is not a little devil. This is our Air Force, our planes, understand? ’
Our Air Force?
Ordinary soldiers who didn't quite understand these words soon saw these planes circling in Suiyuan City. The little devils who also saw the arrival of these air forces seemed very excited, waving at the planes in the sky from time to time.
Listening to the cheers of the little devils on the city wall, He Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, I don't know if they will still laugh when the bomb falls!" This is the first time we have an air force to cooperate in the siege of the city, and it is worth admiring! ”
In fact, hearing the roar of airplanes from the Air Force, Kuroda Shigetoku was very confused and said: "Kikawa-kun, at this time, is the air force still sending troops to support our battle?" But why, didn't I hear anything before? ”
'Divisional commander, I think something is wrong with these planes. If it's our aviation, why do they keep hovering over our heads? You say, could this be the Air Force of China? ’
At this moment, three signal flares sounded and the bomber in charge of the bombing quickly said: "It's time to get to work!" ”
As the fighter formation began to fly out of the city, the bombers began to lower their altitude and prepare to drop bombs. This formation of planes to launch an attack made the little devil officers in the city quickly realize that the situation was a little wrong.
Just when many of their little devils guarding the city also felt that something was wrong. Looking at the aerial bombs that began to fall, many little devils screamed: "Air strike! This is not our plane, dodge quickly! ”
I thought it was a rescuer, but I didn't expect it to be a god. For this kind of divine turn, the Japanese soldiers guarding Suiyuan City all felt. Could it be that Amaterasu has abandoned them? Why, when it was your own plane, why did you drop bombs on them? (To be continued.) )
