Chapter 785: The Eye-Catching Heavy Artillery Brigade

The coveted heavy artillery brigade at the east gate of Nantong City soon became quietly vulnerable under the blow of the special operations division in less than half an hour. At the same time, the three guard brigades under the guard column, under the guidance of a large number of special combat personnel, quickly rushed to the barracks of the Japanese puppet army and its important military points in Nantong City.

So, with almost no preparation from the Japanese army in the city, a bloody massacre began....In the face of the guards and special combat units of the East China Field Army equipped with a large amount of automatic firepower, the Japanese soldiers who woke up in a hurry from their sleep did not even have time to pull the bolt of their guns-...

Of course, even the Japanese troops in the city, in a very short time, organized a certain counterattack. Danshi, after losing the advantages of artillery and other advantages, the local garrison of the Japanese army and the artillery with little combat effectiveness who were responsible for staying in Nantong City, compared with the elite guard troops, their combat effectiveness was not comparable at all.

In this way, the dense gunfire slowly disappeared in Nantong City, which only resounded for less than two hours. At the same time, the commander of the guard column, Bruce Lee, the political commissar Chen Zhengxiang and others, also walked into the city, and after more than two hours of bloody battles, Yijing was completely enveloped in the smell of blood....

"Commander, political commissar, to the current position, the entire Nantong City, except for a few little devils, is still making the last stubborn resistance. The main force of the Japanese army remaining in the city, Yijing, was completely annihilated by our army. As for the specific results, they are still being counted...."Wu Kehua, chief of staff of the guard column, who entered the city in advance to direct the battle, reported with an excited face.

Glancing at the watch on his arm, Bruce Lee, as the commander-in-chief of this battle, nodded with great satisfaction. Then, he said, "Old Wu, you did a good job." The entire battle, from start to finish, took less than three hours. In three hours, the city of Nantong heavily defended by the Japanese army was taken, which I could not have imagined before. How, according to your understanding, the casualties of the troops were not large? ”

"No....with the assistance of the special operations division, the whole process of the battle was carried out very smoothly, except for the Japanese army's heavily guarded headquarters and ammunition depot, which were met with a certain degree of resistance. The rest of the barracks, including their artillery brigades, were like a one-sided massacre....According to my estimates, our casualties in the whole course of the battle would not exceed a thousand..."After a little contemplation, Chief of Staff Wu Kehua replied in the affirmative.

"Less than a thousand, that's great... Now, my nervous heart can finally be put down...."After a long sigh of relief, Bruce Lee replied with a relaxed face.

"Now, I'm just waiting for the concrete results of the troops. You know, the most important target of our operation is the enemy's heavy artillery brigade. There must be no big accidents...."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, Liu Xiaogang, the commander of the special operations division who personally commanded the troops and attacked the Japanese heavy artillery brigade station, rushed over with an excited face and said very movingly to everyone.

"Lao Li, we have made a lot of money, this time we have really made a lot of money. An entire brigade of heavy artillery, including a large number of shells, was captured by us unscathed..."

"Huh? Tell me about the specific situation...."

mentioned the purpose of this sneak attack on Nantong City. Bruce Lee, who was also worried about the serious lack of heavy weapons in the army. A pair of eyes, immediately lù out of the expected god sè. stared at Liu Xiaogang in front of him, and asked very eagerly.

"Lao Li, in a word, just by virtue of the capture of the heavy artillery brigade station, this sneak attack, we are losing a thousand people, and it is worth it." Liu Xiaogang replied affirmatively.

"I just took a look at the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, and this heavy artillery brigade directly under the Central China Front of the Japanese Army is a reinforced brigade with three wings and three brigades under its jurisdiction. These include a separate field artillery battery, a separate field heavy artillery battery, a field heavy artillery battery, an independent heavy artillery group, a heavy mortar group, a separate anti-aircraft artillery air defense brigade ...."

"So much....Lao Liu, don't say anything, take us to see this covetous heavy artillery brigade devil, in the end he gave us an extra gift...."In the face of the huge gain, Bruce Lee, who was holding a heavy army, couldn't suppress the jī movement in his heart. Facing Liu Xiaogang in front of him, his eyes lit up and said..., ten minutes later, with expectant eyes, several people soon arrived at the Japanese heavy artillery brigade station....Looking around, in the huge station, one by one artillery wearing artillery jackets is neatly placed in the barracks. The dense artillery was dazzling to everyone, and of course, in their hearts, they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.

Just after everyone, who had not yet reacted from the shock, Liu Xiaogang Yijing took a copy of the results of the battle and walked over with a smile: "Lao Li, Political Commissar Chen, Chief of Staff Wu." The capture of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, yijing was completely counted by us...."

"According to statistics, the independent field artillery wing under the heavy artillery brigade includes 36 120-mm howitzers and 12 75-mm field guns. The separate field heavy artillery wing consisted of twenty-four 150-mm heavy howitzers. The field heavy artillery wing consisted of sixteen 100-mm cannons. The separate heavy artillery brigade consisted of eight 150 cannons. The separate heavy mortar brigade consisted of thirty-six 150-mm large-caliber mortars. The separate anti-aircraft artillery brigade consisted of twelve 75-mm anti-aircraft guns ....In addition, in the ammunition depots of the Japanese heavy artillery brigades, about hundreds of thousands of shells of various calibers were found. According to the translation of Japanese documents, the entire ammunition depot has almost reserved the shell consumption of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade for almost two years ...."

"More than one hundred and thirty large-caliber heavy guns, and almost two years of artillery shell reserves....Lao Liu, I heard you right...."With his mouth open, Bruce Lee asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

"Lao Li, this is only the capture of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. As far as I know, in the entire city of Nantong, in addition to the independent heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army, the field artillery wing left by the 17th Division of the Japanese army was also completely captured by us. In this way, all the artillery pieces we have captured add up to more than 180 guns..."Liu Xiaogang replied.

"One hundred and eighty large-caliber artillery pieces, enough for our army to form dozens of heavy artillery regiments ... Lao Chen, Lao Liu, Lao Wu. In this operation, we finally lived up to the trust of the commander-in-chief and successfully took down the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. From now on, in front of the little devils, we no longer have to worry about the artillery of the little devils...."Bruce Lee, as the commander-in-chief, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Commander, our guard column and special operations division can finally hand in a satisfactory answer to the commander-in-chief... I suggest that we immediately report to the headquarters in the name of our former enemy headquarters...."Chen Zhengxiang, who reacted from the shock, said in a very high voice in his trembling voice after suppressing the zinc powder in his heart.

"I agree, in the name of the former enemy headquarters, report to the headquarters...."Liu Xiaogang immediately echoed.

"Okay....that's it. Lao Wu, order the General Staff to seize the time to count the results. Within half an hour, in the name of the former enemy's general headquarters, report to the headquarters..."Bruce Lee ordered with great certainty.

"Yes, Commander..."

In the telecommunications room where all the commanders gathered in the headquarters of the East China Field Army in Huai'an City, a telegraph operator was not affected by the hurried combat staff officers behind him, and he still knew very much that he was sending and receiving every telegram.

And just when everyone was still gathered around the huge sand table, discussing and analyzing the future of the campaign according to the changing enemy situation. A telegraph operator stood up from his seat with great emotion. Then, under everyone's surprised gaze, he shouted loudly.

"Commander-in-chief, political commissar, good news, Nantong defense line guard column report good telegram..."

"Guard column...."Liu Hua muttered to himself. In just a moment, a face was enveloped by the god of joy. Then, after a long sigh of relief, he said to his partner ***, who had not yet reacted from the shock.

"Political commissar, we have been in fear for several days, and now, we have finally seen the concrete harvest....quick, read it out, let everyone listen, what kind of big victory our guard column and special operations division have achieved...."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

"The headquarters of the former enemy in Nantong reported that after three hours of bloody fighting, our guard column, with the close cooperation of the special operations division, successfully captured the city of Nantong with small casualties and completely annihilated all the defending units....After statistics, our army successfully captured all the weapons, equipment and ammunition of a heavy artillery brigade and a field artillery wing of the Japanese army, including eight 150-mm large-caliber cannons, 16 100-mm cannons, twenty-four 150-mm large-caliber heavy howitzers, and thirty-six 120-mm howitzers...."

"Commander-in-chief, it's really hard work that pays off, our artillery column has finally come to an end...."The political commissar *** said with a moving face.

And at this moment, to the surprise of the political commissar, the huge results in front of him faced the coveted Japanese heavy artillery brigade. After a brief moment of shock, the face of the commander-in-chief in front of him was once again shrouded in a solemn look. Then, a pair of eyes, staring closely at the combat sand table in front of him, slowly fell into thinking....
