Chapter 560: Counteroffensive on All Fronts???

"Commander, Captain Wang of the Second Brigade telegraphed. The troops have successfully occupied the Japanese artillery positions and captured 24 Japanese heavy field howitzers, 6 75-mm mountain guns, and shells of five bases of various artillery. At the same time, the troops have successfully repelled the first counterattack of the Japanese army, eliminating a total of more than 1,000 Japanese troops. Now, all the artillery in the Japanese artillery position has been aimed at the Japanese puppet army barracks, and it can be fired at any time..."While Liu Hua was anxiously waiting, the communications staff officer took the telegram he had just received and said excitedly....

"Good, well done... Lao Yang, immediately found the signal, all artillery units, immediately opened fire, and carried out ten minutes of artillery preparation. Ten minutes later, the troops immediately launched a general attack...."Liu Hua's face showed an excited look, and he ordered loudly...

"Yes, Commander....Staff Officer Wang, send a signal, and the artillery unit will open fire immediately..."Yang Jingyu, whose face was also full of excitement, immediately ordered to a combat staff officer behind him...

"Bang bang bang...", with three sharp gunshots, rang out inside the temporary headquarters. Immediately after, three gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky above Xiaolonggang...

"Attention to the artillery, the target, the Japanese puppet army barracks, a test shot, now open the artillery....boom boom..." On the two artillery positions, Wang Ping and Li Guodong, who temporarily served as artillery commanders, waved the artillery flag in their hands at the same time and loudly gave the order to open the artillery....

"Baga....your emperor ** is not. An infantry brigade and nearly 1,000 valiant Imperial soldiers not only did not recapture the artillery positions, but instead lost their troops. Now I order you to cancel the establishment of the first brigade, yours is not worthy of being an imperial official, and immediately apologize to His Majesty the Emperor..." Wing Commander Daisa Motoki, thinking of the loss of the artillery position, waited for his own result. Immediately, he gave the order to commit suicide to the captain in front of him...

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, spare your life, please give the lowly post another chance, the lowly post will definitely recapture the artillery position... Immediately, dragged by several guards, the captain who had just suffered defeat turned into a corpse with bursts of begging for mercy and screaming...

As the screams of the commander of the first brigade stopped, the Japanese officers in the entire wing headquarters couldn't help but gasp at the same time. One by one, they stood there with their heads bowed, without saying a word. The atmosphere in the entire command headquarters became more and more solemn...

"Wing Captain..."In the face of several captains who were speechless, the chief of staff of the wing, who was forced to be helpless, broke the tranquility in the headquarters and said....

"Captain, the counterattack of the first brigade has been repelled by the China. I humbly believe that the urgency of our army's delay now is still to recapture the artillery positions from the hands of the Chinese people. Otherwise, the artillery positions will be lost, and the main garrisons of our wing and the garrisons of the Manchurian army will all be within the range of artillery attacks.

"Matsushita-kun, your guard brigade, on the artillery position, lost a whole two infantry brigades. The remaining soldiers of the Imperial Army in the 1st Infantry Brigade will be handed over to you for reorganization to enrich the combat effectiveness of the Guard Brigade. Now I order, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 1st Regiment of the 11th Division of the Manchurian Army. Immediately assemble, with the next page as the commander-in-chief, immediately attack, within half an hour, to recapture the artillery position...."Under the reminder of the chief of staff, the wing commander Motoki Osa ordered with a serious face...

"Hai, Your Excellency Wing Commander, I promise to complete the mission..."

"Woo woo woo ...boom boom boom...."However, just before Shao Zuo's words were finished on the next page in front of him, a huge whistling sound reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, a series of explosions shook the mountain, pushing the commanders to the ground...

With the sound of explosions one after another, the entire barracks was immediately enveloped in flames. One by one, the devil soldiers let out bursts of screams and began to run back and forth in the barracks....

"Yaga, what's going on outside? Where did the shelling come from..."The wing commander who got up from the ground with the assistance of the guards. Inside the barracks, under the light of the fire from the explosion of artillery shells. The heroic soldiers of the Imperial Army, without any elite appearance at all, were scurrying around in the barracks. As for the Manchurian army camp not far away, it was already in chaos. Motoki Osa asked loudly..., "Wing Commander, report to Your Excellency Wing Commander..."Just as Motoki Osa finished speaking, a staff officer with a face full of gunpowder smoke stumbled into the command headquarters: "Report to Wing Commander, the barracks have been shelled... It seems that a shell was fired from the direction of our artillery position, please make a decision as soon as possible ...

"Nani, artillery positions. Bastards, cunning Shina people, actually shelled our Imperial Japanese Army with the artillery of the Great Japanese Empire... Eight Grid Tooth Road..."In the shocked eyes of the surrounding commanders, Wing Commander Daisa Motoki quickly pulled out his command knife and slashed at the table in front of him...

A sound sounded in the headquarters, and with a flash of knife light, a table placed in the middle of everyone was split in half in an instant...

"Wing Commander, I humbly think that we should immediately send troops to retake the artillery positions. Otherwise, thousands of our soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army were under heavy shelling from dozens of large-caliber guns. In ten minutes at most, the entire line will be routed, and finally the whole army will be in danger of annihilation. Captain of the Wing is asked to make a decision right away...", the Chief of Staff exhorted...

"Order the Second Infantry Brigade, the One, Two, and Two Regiments of the Manchurian Army to attack immediately and recapture the artillery positions, quickly..."

However, just as his words fell, after the second round of shells that were fired at the officers, the two artillery positions, totaling more than 50 shells, fell again in the barracks in the sound of explosions one after another, setting off a rain of blood...

What made the little devil commander even more unexpected was that in the sound of his own order, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army and 2,000 soldiers of the Manchurian Army who had just been assembled were blown to pieces in the dense artillery fire before they had time to set off...

Under the desperate gaze of the little devil, one large-caliber shell after another, with its fastest firing speed, tilted into the Japanese military camp, constantly killing and injuring the living force of the Japanese puppet army... In less than a few minutes, under the continuous shelling of more than 50 large-caliber artillery pieces and nearly 100 mortars, the huge Japanese puppet army camp was completely enveloped by artillery fire...

Little devils, Manchurian soldiers, struggling under heavy artillery fire, crying, praying...

"Good, good play... Commander, tonight, it was the first time I saw the little devil under the shelling of our own artillery, waiting for death... I really didn't expect that we ourselves would be able to have so many artillery..."Looking at the Japanese puppet army camp with a firelight, Yang Jingyu, who was holding a telescope, said excitedly...

"Lao Yang, you just wait and see. In the future, our Northeast Field Army will also form its own artillery divisions, tank divisions, and air force divisions... Look, if nothing else, there are more than 3,000 puppet soldiers, and the fast eyes can't hold on..."Liu Hua, who was also holding a telescope and observing every move of the Japanese puppet army camp, said confidently...

"Haha, more than 3,000 Manchurian troops have bombed the camp... The communications staff officer immediately sent a telegram to the Third Division, telling him that he must not let go of a Manchurian soldier who broke through the siege, and at the same time be ready to receive prisoners..."After turning his gaze to the Manchurian army barracks, Yang Jingyu ordered with a shining face to the communications staff officer behind him...

It turned out that in less than five minutes of the shelling, nearly 1,000 shells were fired at more than 20 artillery pieces in the Manchurian army camp, plus a large number of mortars. And these Manchurian soldiers, many Manchurian soldiers who have not even been on the real battlefield. In the face of nearly a thousand shells, it immediately went from panic, to fear, and finally to chaos...

At the beginning, there were also the constraints of the respective commanders, and the entire barracks, did not show too much confusion. However, as time passed, one commander after another, killed in the heavy artillery fire, frightened, fled... These soldiers at the bottom finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Ignoring the shouts of the commanders around him, he began to wander around the barracks, looking for a possible safe place. After not finding a safe place in the barracks, these Manchurian soldiers set their eyes on the outside of the barracks...

As a result, one by one, the soldiers of the Manchurian Army, driven by artillery fire, dropped their weapons and rushed out of their barracks in embarrassment like ducks.

With the first, there will be the second... Immediately, in the entire barracks, the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers immediately rushed outside the barracks...

However, at this moment, all the commanders and fighters of the Third Division who received the order from the headquarters had already revealed their figures under the cover of artillery fire. A very light and heavy machine gun, a brand new rifle, was placed in front of these Manchurian soldiers by the soldiers, just waiting for the commander, give a specific order to fire..., "Da Da Da..." A hot tongue of fire suddenly stretched out from the woods around the puppet army barracks, and the Manchurian soldiers who were blocking the tongue of fire had not yet reacted from the artillery fire just now, just like cutting wheat, and the tongue of fire shot by this friendly heavy machine gun was cut to the ground in pieces...

The sound of gunfire is an order, hidden around the barracks, and the soldiers who have long been impatient. Especially those new fighters who have just joined the army and are eager to make meritorious contributions. Without any further hesitation, he immediately pulled the trigger of the weapon in his hand on the enemy in front of him

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire began to sound around the puppet army barracks... In a dense barrage of bullets, under the blow of a dense web of fire consisting of dozens of tongues of fire. The more than 2,000 Manchurian soldiers who had just rushed out of the barracks under heavy artillery fire and had not had time to catch their breath were immediately cut down in pieces...

"Ahh Everyone, run for your life..."..."Don't fight... I surrender ..."... In the face of the dense fire network in front of them, the fierce artillery fire behind them, and the constantly falling comrades....the remaining Manchurian soldiers finally couldn't bear this bloody scene. They threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy...

"Blow the trumpet of the charge and destroy all the soldiers of the Manchurian Army0" Seeing the scene in the ambush circle, more than 3,000 soldiers, after continuous strikes, only more than 1,000 people remained, almost all of them knelt on the ground....The division commander decisively gave the order to charge...

"Tick tock... Tick tock... Comrades, rush..."A shocking shout of killing sounded, and more than 3,000 commanders and fighters, waving the weapons in their hands, rushed out of their positions...

In the face of more than a thousand Manchurian soldiers who had already been frightened and had no chance to resist. In just a few minutes, those soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy were overwhelmed by thousands of commanders and fighters....

"Well fought, I want to give credit to all the commanders and fighters of the Third Division... Notify the artillery positions, concentrate artillery fire, and shell the Japanese barracks. I want to see how long the remaining 2,000 little devils in the barracks can hold out..."Seeing the charging soldiers, they quickly overwhelmed more than 1,000 Manchurian soldiers. Commander Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then issued a new combat order...

"Commander, I don't plan to let one, two, or two divisions carry out a strong attack..."Yang Jingyu asked rhetorically...

"If you attack, the casualties will be too great. If we get the little devil out of the barracks and let the little devil hit us at the muzzle, then it will be much easier. It's like just three divisions that wiped out thousands of Manchurian soldiers... Comrades of various artillery positions, concentrate artillery fire, bombard me. Without our orders, just keep bombarding me, don't stop..."Liu Hua replied...

Suddenly, more than 50 large-caliber guns and nearly 100 mortars, at the same time, aimed their muzzles at the Japanese barracks... Immediately, the Japanese barracks at least doubled the number of shells per minute...

And under the heavy shelling of so many artillery. The small barracks of the Japanese army were immediately completely enveloped in the smoke of gunpowder. In the sound of shells that are constantly exploding, almost every shell explodes takes the life of at least one little devil...

Although, compared with the loosely disciplined Manchurian divisions, more than 2,000 little devils, in the fierce artillery fire, still strictly followed the rules in the infantry drill code, lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, dodging the flying shells.

However, although this can dodge the shells flying in the sky, it cannot dodge the shock wave generated by the explosion of countless heavy artillery shells... In the sound of an earth-shattering explosion, one by one, the little devils, driven by a huge wave of air, were thrown high into the sky, and then they were beaten into a hornet's nest by the flying monographs... And many more soldiers were directly shocked to death by the shock wave generated by the explosion...

In the wing headquarters that has been bombed into ruins, Wing Commander Daisa Motoki and several group leaders are nestled in a dead end of the shelling, quietly observing the barracks under heavy fire, waiting for the end of the shelling...

However, what made these little devil commanders desperate was that he did not wait for the good news that the shelling was over, but waited for the bad news that the Manchurian Army was wiped out... Just when Daisa Motoki stared at the surrounding barracks that had been bombed into ruins. A large squadron leader stumbled into the command headquarters...

"Captain, something happened... One of the main divisions of the Manchurian Army, more than 3,000 people, was completely annihilated by the Chinese ... Now we are the only ones left in Xiaolonggang..."

"Nani? What do you say, the Manchurian Army was completely annihilated, more than 3,000 people were completely annihilated ... How could it be, a whole three thousand people, and it took less than ten minutes to be completely cut. Yaga, the cunning Shina man..."Motoki Daisa clenched his fists, stared at a pair of big eyes, and scolded with an angry face..., at this moment, the voice of the chief of staff reached everyone's ears: "Wing Commander, the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Army is not strong in the first place, and it is not a big deal to be completely annihilated in such a fierce artillery fire. However, now the cunning Shina people have gathered more than 100 artillery pieces of various types to bombard our military camp. In the shelling just now, we have lost more than a thousand valiant Imperial soldiers. If it continues in such a stalemate. We don't need the enemy's attack, just shelling, we can completely annihilate our Honki wing. Please make a decision sooner rather than later..."

"Please make a decision as soon as possible...," several captains echoed at the same time...

"Eight grid tooth road, what can I do now. Do we want to break through the encirclement, abandon the Xiaolonggang position, abandon the artillery position....Chief of Staff, you say, what should we do? Motoki asked loudly...

"Hey, I think it's better to launch a counterattack than to wait for death here. I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Imperial Japanese Army, it will definitely be possible to defeat the surrounding Shina people..."The chief of staff replied with a resolute face...

"Fight back? Chief of Staff, do you think that at the moment we are still capable of counterattacking? According to my observations, my Honki Wing, after ten minutes of shelling. Coupled with the losses of artillery, the 1st and 2nd brigades, there are already more than a thousand people left...."Motoki Osa shook his head and said with a look of despair...

"Your Excellency, as an emperor, I would rather die on the battlefield than wait for death in this dense artillery fire... Please give the order of His Excellency the Wing Commander, and the subordinate will lead the remaining soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Brigade to launch a counterattack as the vanguard of the entire unit...."As soon as Motoki Daisa's words were finished, a Shaozo captain stood up with an excited face and said loudly...

"Well, now that you've made your decision, I agree... Now I order that all the troops immediately assemble and launch a counteroffensive on the spot. Rush out of the barracks and have a decisive battle with the people of China on the periphery, and now begins..."Seeing the faces of several captains in front of him, he showed a resolute look at the same time. Wing Commander Daisa Motoki then ordered...

"Hai, Your Excellency Wing Commander...", several captains rushed out of the headquarters that had become a ruin, and began to gather themselves and the disabled troops...
