Chapter 247: Nansong Blocking (5)

Of course, just when the little devil attack force began to retreat, the artillery units of the reinforcement unit immediately took place and assembled the artillery on the spot, and put the Type 39 mortar in a ready-made crater, and the soldiers immediately fell into the crater, brandishing an engineer shovel to seize the time to arm, and a group of militiamen carried stretchers to transport Yang Zhen and others to the rear headquarters hospital for treatment.

"Chief of Staff, I'm scared to death, if this Japanese army is allowed to storm the headquarters, then we will be in danger." Seeing that the little devil had dropped the corpse of almost a squadron and retreated in embarrassment, Meng Qingshan, who had just come up, breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cui Shiquan, who was also nervous beside him.

"Yes, this little devil is really cunning, I didn't expect this little devil to send another force to cross the small Xing'an Mountains and travel a long way to attack us, fortunately Yang Zhen's garrison was found and blocked here, otherwise our losses will be great, you must know that there are as many as 4,000 wounded in the rear, and we must ask Yang Zhen for credit when the time comes." The chief of staff replied.

"Of course, I wronged him a little when I lowered him to the garrison, how about sending him to the main force after the battle?"

"Listen to you."

"How long will it take for Han Hao's cannon to be assembled?"

"Commander-in-Chief, it will take ten minutes, please instruct."

"Well, ten minutes later, launch an artillery bombardment of the Japanese troops down the mountain."

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

Meng Qingshan used a telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese army at the highest peak of South Songmu Mountain at this time, and found that there were not a few Japanese troops under the mountain, about the strength of a wing, Meng Qingshan's brows furrowed. At this moment, the reinforcements brought by Meng Qingshan were only the strength of one guard battalion, two recruit battalions and one artillery battalion. It adds up to about 2,000 people, which is already all the troops that the headquarters can use, and the Japanese troops under the mountain are estimated to be at least more than 2,500 people from Meng Qingshan. If you want to destroy this lone Japanese army in front of you, it is far from enough to rely on the current strength, you can only slowly weaken its strength, and wait for the garrison regiments far away to support the encirclement and suppression of this Japanese army.

"Is there any good news from Comrade Jingyu on the front line, chief of staff?"

"Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Yang said that the first and second divisions had fought several battles with the 29th Division of the Japanese Army in the north, and they had a chance of winning each other. Commander Wang of the Xing'an Military Region led his troops to attack the Devil's Heihe Fortress, and the Heihe encirclement and suppression troops had slowly retreated at this time. The 4th Division was also on its way back. ”

"Okay, order Hou Guozhong's cavalry regiment to hurry up and come here, and at the same time order the Fourth Division to send two regiments of troops to support the headquarters."

"Okay." Cui Shiquan turned around and went to report to the Fourth Division.

Looking at the time on the watch approaching the scheduled time little by little, watching the Japanese troops under the mountain slowly assemble and prepare to attack the mountain again, Xiaohuzi, who has been following behind Meng Qingshan, heard "start" from the Meng Qingshan Pass that had been holding a telescope to observe, after these two heavy words, he had already raised the signal gun in his hand and hit the two red signal flares into the sky that had just begun to lighten, which was the signal of the beginning of the shelling.

On the artillery position in the distance, Han Hao was intently waiting for the shelling order, after seeing the two red signal flares rising into the sky. Without any hesitation, the order to open fire was given. As Han Hao's voice fell, the artillery behind him, who had already been prepared, didn't even have time to move his almost frozen hands and feet, so he quickly filled the shell in his hand into the barrel.

"Whoosh!" Accompanied by the sound of mortar firing from the artillery position, a whizzing sound of the cannon being discharged, a series of Japanese-made 90-mm mortar shells smashed into their original owners. Packets of yellow explosives flew into the ranks of the Japanese soldiers.

Since the artillery position was no more than 800 meters away from the set target in a straight line, the first batch of mortar shells that were discharged almost did not use any corrections, and they landed accurately in the Japanese army assembly at the bottom of the mountain. The Japanese troops who had just assembled were blown up and one person turned on his back.

As soon as he assembled, he was covered by artillery fire and was completely defenseless. And the subordinates who suffered heavy casualties were different. Koshi Furuno, who was still in the tent behind when the shelling started, did not go off until the shells exploded. After hearing the rain of dense mortar shells falling on his head, the first reaction of Koshitake Furuno, who had just come out of the tent and fortunately escaped the first round of artillery fire, was not the shelling of the anti-Manchurian forces, but whether his own artillery had gone off fire and fired missiles.

According to the intelligence of Furuno Yoshitake Daisa, the main forces of the Shina people have all been sent to the front to fight the imperial encirclement and suppression forces, and they cannot be mobilized at all. Although before leaving, he received an order to go to the dark cloud border to assemble and wait for the encirclement and suppression army to act together, but Furuno Haowu Dazuo, who had always wanted to raise his official position to the top, moved a thought, and made a surprise attack when the headquarters of the China people was empty, and brought it to the headquarters of the China people to destroy the head of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, just like Huo Qubing in the ancient history of the China people led the cavalry to raid the base camp of the Huns, and made a famous battle in history, and his current actions are the same as Huo Quzhi.

When he forced Xie Wendong of the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation to surrender, Kurihashi Baozheng made great achievements and was received by His Majesty the Emperor, and was promoted to the rank of major general.

Regarding the resistance encountered on the way, Furuno Yoshitake Daisa did not take it to heart. Because in his opinion, who has the extreme contempt for all the armed forces of China, such a rabble will soon be wiped out.

But I didn't expect that such a fight would be fought for nearly a night without capturing the mountain in front, which made Furuno Haowu very angry, and urged the captain of the second brigade under his command to capture the mountain bag before dawn, otherwise there would be no need to come back to see him, how to fight for a night, the bigger and stronger the Zhi, and also used artillery bombardment, which made Furuno Haowu very puzzled.

Although during the clean-up in the Xiajiang area, a large number of clean-up troops were more or less subjected to mortar shells from the Anti-Japanese Union. But those who claim to be a division, or even an army, are armed with a mortar, which is already very good. There will be so many like there are today? Could it be that I have finally met the headquarters of the Shina people, and His Majesty the Emperor will bless me.

Meng Qingshan's first wave of artillery fire inflicted heavy casualties on the unprepared Japanese troops. But after all, these Japanese troops were all veterans of long-term training, and their reaction speed was still first-class, and after the initial panic, all the Japanese troops in Furuno Yoshitakenai had quickly stabilized.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, Your Excellency Dazuo."

"Say."

"Half an hour ago, the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Brigade had occupied the hill and was about to destroy the anti-Manchu forces, and out of nowhere, a well-armed Shina force came out of nowhere to repel Arako Saburo's squadron, and now Arako Saburo is requesting artillery fire support."

"Yo Xi! It seems that this force must be the last strength of the Chinese people, I think that the head of the Chinese people, Meng Qingshan, must be on the mountain, and ordered the Huanggu Brigade and the Banlang Brigade to attack together, and ordered the United Artillery Squadron (four mountain guns), the infantry artillery squadron (four infantry guns), and the rapid-fire artillery squadron (four 37mm rapid-fire guns) to counterattack the anti-Manchurian forces on the mountain, and at the same time immediately sent a telegram to His Excellency the Division Commander that our department had found the headquarters of the Zhina people to request air force support. ”

"Hey!"

"Yo Xi!" Furuno Haowu thought that as long as the last resistance force of the Anti-Japanese Federation was eliminated, the entire China Command would be a woman who stripped naked, and he could play as much as he wanted, and then he would be a famous general in the whole country, and his blood boiled when he thought about it.
