Chapter 61: New Year's Gifts

New Year's Day of the 27th year of the Republic of China!

On the first day of the new year, after five days of enduring it, the Baoshan regiment finally ushered in the largest counterattack!

In the headquarters of the Baoshan Regiment, Yue Weihan was observing the night sky outside through the artillery ranging telescope (artillery mirror), in fact, he couldn't see anything, he did it completely subconsciously, at this time, Yue Weihan was like a gambler who had bet on his entire net worth, just waiting for the moment when the dealer unveiled it.

Time passed silently.

Suddenly, Hua Hanlin, the commander of the guard company, walked in from outside and said, "Tuanzao, it's half past five!" ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan Huo Ran turned his head and said to Tang Dashan behind him, "Datang, prepare in twenty minutes!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as Tang Dashan waved his hand, the three soldiers ran to the corner of the headquarters wall, where three detonators were placed.

Long before the trench fortifications were built, the 2nd, 1st and 4th Battalions had planted a large number of high-explosives in advance at the critical positions of their respective positions. The Baoshan group has already left a New Year's gift for the little devils.

Time is still passing in a constant and cold way.

"Five minutes to prepare!"

"Two minutes to prepare!"

"Sixty seconds ready!"

"Thirty seconds ready!"

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

...... "Three! ”

"Two!"

"Detonate!"

"New Year's gift to the little devils!"

The three fighters did not hesitate to press the detonator!

………… Ten miles away, the headquarters of the Kunisaki detachment.

Chief of Staff Yasuda Daisa said to Major General Noboru Kunizaki with a concerned face: "Your Excellency, the mountain artillery wing will start shelling in twenty minutes, do you want to rest first?" ”

"No need." Major General Noboru Kunisaki waved his hand and said, "Have the infantry brigades entered the predetermined assembly point?" ”

"All of them were in the scheduled assembly point five minutes ago." Yasuda Daisa, "Now, let's wait for the general offensive to begin." ”

As soon as Yasuda Daisa's words fell, a faint explosion suddenly came from under the night sky in front of him, and then a huge shock wave was violently transmitted from the depths of the ground.

"Bagayalu, earthquake!?" Major General Noboru Kunisaki was shocked.

"Boom, Boom, Boom......" Major General Kunisaki Noboru fell, and an incomparably sharp whistling sound sounded under the night sky ahead.

When Major General Noboru Kunisaki and Yasuda Daisa, who had just gotten up, turned their heads sharply to look out, they saw that the dark sky was already covered with red streamers, and in an instant, Major General Kunisaki Noboru and Yasuda Daisa's faces changed, and Yasuda Dazuo shouted in disbelief: "Seventy-five mountain artillery, seventy-five mountain artillery group!" ”

"Boom, ......boom," Yasuda Daisa's voice fell, and a huge explosion sounded continuously from the front.

"Yaga Yalu, pick me up Tsukino Masao immediately!" Major General Kunisaki Noboru finally lost his usual composure, and he was angry, "Order the mountain artillery unit, immediately correct the shooting of Zhuyuan, and destroy the Shina artillery!" ”

"Hello!" Yasuda Daisa suddenly lowered his head and straightened his feet, and then turned around to shake the phone.

As soon as Yasuda Osa walked away, Second Lieutenant Kato, a communications staff officer, hurriedly walked in and reported loudly: "Your Excellency General, Yanagida's brigade has been blasted by the engineers of the Shina army and has lost contact, and the Akagi Brigade, Fujii Brigade, Okaya Brigade, Murakami Brigade and Hayashida Brigade who have entered the predetermined assembly area have been shelled at the same time, and I ask for tactical guidance!" ”

"Yaga Yaru!" Major General Kunisaki Noboru suddenly felt that the headquarters had become unusually hot, and immediately quickly untied the wind and discipline buckle of the tweed uniform, and immediately turned his head and shouted at Second Lieutenant Kato, "Order all major teams to evacuate immediately, evacuate the scheduled assembly area as quickly as possible, withdraw to the station, quickly!" ”

"Hello!" Second Lieutenant Kato bowed his head suddenly, then turned and walked away quickly.

Seeing the figure of Second Lieutenant Kato leave, Major General Kunizaki's expression suddenly became extremely hideous.

Major General Kunizaki Noboru was shocked to realize that he was still underestimating his opponent, the commander of the branch on the other side, yes, it was that Yue Weihan, this guy was definitely the most cunning and ruthless of all the opponents he had ever met! This guy either doesn't make a move, and when he shoots, he punches hard, and he hits his own vital point in one fell swoop, which is amazing!

The explosives buried in the ground are just a little trick, so don't worry about it!

However, what shocked Major General Kunizaki Noboru was that this guy Yue Weihan was able to hide his 75 mountain artillery group so far, even if his three infantry battalions had all been disabled, almost all the front-line fortifications had been lost, and the defense line of the entire regiment had been seriously compressed, this mountain artillery group just couldn't shoot!

As a result, Major General Noboru Kunisaki and all the officers were convinced that the mountain artillery wing to which the Shigeto detachment belonged had destroyed all the 75 mountain artillery before it was annihilated.

However, now it seems that the Shigeto detachment did not destroy the Qiwu Mountain Artillery, at least not all of them, and it was the remaining part of the Qiwu Mountain Artillery that brought great damage to the Kunisaki Detachment! The infantry brigades that had already entered the assembly area were suddenly subjected to heavy shelling by the Shina artillery group without psychological preparation, and the casualties would be very large!

If the Chinese army has enough troops to fight back, the consequences will be catastrophic!

Of course, Major General Kunizaki Noboru is not without a chance of recovery, as long as his mountain artillery wing can quickly correct the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and lock and eliminate the mountain artillery group of the Baoshan Regiment in the shortest possible time, the situation will quickly turn into safety, in the final analysis, it is impossible for the imperial army to be defeated by the infantry of the [***] team, and the only thing that may pose a threat to the imperial army is their artillery!

………… The artillery quality of the little devils is really not boasted.

Just a few minutes after receiving the order from Kunisaki Deng, the 36 105 mountain guns of the three artillery brigades under the 3rd Mountain Artillery Wing of Reading Force had already finished firing at Zhu Yuan, and the guns that had been aimed at the core position of the Baoshan Regiment were all turned to the pitch-black field more than ten miles away, where from time to time there was a red light dragging a long tail flame into the air, which was the hidden position of the 75th Mountain Artillery Company of the Baoshan Regiment.

After the two test firings, rows of high-explosive grenades swept up from the artillery positions of the Japanese army, dragged with a long tail flame and a piercing scream, and plunged towards the position of the mountain artillery company of the Baoshan regiment more than ten miles away.

………… More than ten miles away, the mountain artillery company of the Baoshan regiment was positioned.

Before the smoke cleared, Niu Dagen suddenly opened the barrel, withdrew the shell, and turned his head and shouted: "Cannonball! ”

Niu Dagen filled the shell into the barrel as fast as possible, closed the gun door, locked it, and then turned around and squatted on the ground, only to hear a bang, the heavy Qiwushan cannon body trembled violently, and a red light suddenly swept up from the muzzle.

"you dogs." Niu Dagen scolded angrily, and suddenly opened the cannon chamber.

"Woo ......" However, without waiting for Niu Dagen to stretch out his hand to ask for a cannonball, a piercing scream sounded above his head, Niu Dagen's face suddenly changed, with his many years of experience in cannon fighting, he could hear it at once, this is clearly a 105 caliber high-explosive grenade flying in the sky, the lethality of this thing is not blown, one blow up kills!

"Cannonballs!" Niu Dagen knew that his mountain artillery company was finished, but he still wanted to shoot again!

"Be careful!" The ammunition hand also heard that this was a 105 caliber high-explosive grenade, and immediately threw Niu Dagen to the ground, and the whole person completely pressed on Niu Dagen's body.

By the time Niu Dagen got up, the entire artillery position had become a sea of fire!

The 75 mountain cannon on the position had been overturned to the ground, and the barrel of the cannon was bent, and then looking at the ammunition man who was desperately covering him just now, he was already too dead to die, and a huge piece of shrapnel rotated at high speed and cut horizontally through his back, cutting his back entirely, Bai Sensen's bones and the bloody internal organs in his chest were clearly visible.

"Hold the cannon up for Lao Tzu." Niu Dagen's eyes widened angrily, and he howled hoarsely, "Let's see if you can do it?" ”

"Camp, camp!" Niu Dagen's voice fell, and the commander of the mountain artillery company rushed over with a rolling belt, howling and crying, "It's over, it's all over, the little devil's artillery is too powerful, our artillery is all over!" ”

"The donkey said, there is no one to use?" Niu Dagen was furious and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil!" ”

As he spoke, Niu Dagen rushed to another mountain cannon twenty meters away, but before he could rush closer, another row of high-explosive grenades roared down from the sky, only to hear two loud bangs, and the mountain cannon twenty meters away suddenly turned into a huge ball of fire, Niu Dagen fell to the ground at once, and cried with both hands: "Cannon, my cannon wow......"

………… The right flank of the position of the Baoshan regiment.

As soon as the forward position exploded and the artillery battalion's shelling began, Li Yulin's 5th battalion quickly got out of the underground bunker.

At this time, the main infantry of the Yue army was being shelled, and was retreating back in a hurry and evacuating urgently, and the artillery of the Yue army also turned all the guns to the artillery position of the Baoshan regiment more than ten miles away, so Li Yulin's 5th battalion easily rushed through the artillery blockade line of the Yue army and quickly penetrated into the wilderness of the right flank.

After arriving at the designated place, Li Yulin immediately called the three company commanders to him, pointed to the night sky in front of him and asked sharply, "Did you see the red light rising in front of you?" ”

"See." The three company commanders replied in unison.

Li Yulin didn't talk much nonsense, and ordered loudly: "1 Company, five o'clock direction, 2 Company, six o'clock direction, 3rd Company eight o'clock direction, the guard platoon is in the center with me ready to support at any time, go!" ”

"Yes!" The three company commanders and the guard platoon commander who followed closely behind Li Yulin agreed with a bang.

Immediately, the entire 5th Battalion of more than 500 people divided into four groups, and pounced on their respective targets with murderous vigour, and in less than a moment, they all disappeared into the dark night.
