Wu Ming was very happy and nodded happily: "Very good, tell the siege troops, sweep the city as much as possible, and take prisoners to clean up the battlefield." ”

After speaking, Wu Ming turned to a signal soldier and ordered: "Hurry up and go to the commander to send a telegram, just say that our department has successfully recovered the county seat of Jingcheng and eliminated all the Japanese puppet defenders in the city." ”

The Messenger and the Warrior responded almost simultaneously, and each turned to take the order.

After getting the report, Qiao Youhua immediately rushed to the side of Jingcheng County with the guard regiment and anti-aircraft artillery troops, because there was Jingcheng County in front of him, so it was obviously impossible to bypass a large number of combat troops and quietly attack Jingcheng Pass.

Therefore, they can only wait for the troops to capture the county seat of Jingcheng before officially marching.

Anyway, as soon as the gunshots rang out in Jingcheng County, the devils and puppet troops inside and outside Jingcheng Pass would definitely be alarmed, and if they wanted to take Jingcheng Pass, they would definitely have to attack head-on.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua and the others were not in a hurry, and after they came to Jingcheng County with the attack troops, they rested in the county seat on the spot.

It was not until dawn the next day that he and the troops of the Third Brigade swaggered out of the county town and advanced in the direction of Jingcheng Pass.

Jingcheng Pass, the garrison headquarters of the Japanese army.

The supreme commander of the devil in the Jingcheng County area, named Kawagishi Jing, with the rank of Dazuo, at this moment, he was angry in the command headquarters.

"Bagaya Road, what do the intelligence officers eat? Why didn't we get any information beforehand? "Kawagishi Kyo was very annoyed, because of the lack of effective information, the defense of the county seat was very lax, and there was no preparation at all, so he couldn't hold out even one night.

was captured by the Dragon's Tooth Column, and the more than 1,000-day puppet army in the city was annihilated, which was a great loss for the overall strength of his garrison.

Especially now that the empire is recuperating and rejuvenating, every force is precious.

A Japanese captain in charge of intelligence lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency, the actions of the people of China are secret, and their base is like an iron bucket, with a combination of civilians and agents, and it is difficult for our intelligence officers to blend in."

Therefore, they did not detect their operation this time. ”、

"Baga, I think you have lived too comfortably in the past two years, and you have already looked at intelligence work beyond the clouds." Kyo Kawagishi in one sentence.

Indeed, because in the past two years, the Longya Column has almost never shown any signs of using troops in the vicinity of Jingcheng County, and because the Japanese intelligence personnel have been confident that their fortifications are perfect, reconnaissance in this area is very commonplace.

In fact, in the past two years, Kawagishi Jing himself has been drunk and dreaming of death every day, either drinking or going to comfort women and military prostitutes to vent ****, and even sometimes, he asked his subordinates to take some young and beautiful flower girls for him under the leadership of some hardcore traitors who do all kinds of evil.

In short, I did everything, but I didn't do anything. So, when it came to the end, I began to be anxious.

However, knowing that he was also responsible, Kawagishi Kyo Dazuo did not hold his subordinates accountable too much, but after scolding them, he said with a black face with a little anger: "Pass the order, all the strongholds inside and outside the Guan, all have to cheer me up, the people of China did not attack at night last night, it does not mean that they will not attack today."

If anyone dares to retreat one step and abandon their positions without authorization, whether it is the Imperial Army or the Imperial Allied Army, they will all be shot on the spot! No forgiveness! ”

Of course, a group of devil officers did not dare to disobey, and bowed their heads one after another: "Hai." “

By about nine o'clock in the morning, Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming led more than 3,000 people from the guard regiment, plus more than 1,000 people from the anti-aircraft artillery unit and more than 2,000 infantry from the Third Brigade to attack the army of more than 6,000 people.

Finally arrived at the outermost part of the Japanese defense line at Jingcheng Pass, where the defense line was across the road to the pass, and the perimeter of the fortification was a blockade ditch more than three meters deep and four meters wide, plus barbed wire.

About 100 meters behind the blockade ditch, along both sides of the road, there were four pillboxes and two gun towers, which were connected to each other, and one was built under the hillside on both sides of the road.

Immediately next to the mountain, if there is really no firepower that can destroy a qiē as support, it is simply a frontal assault with infantry as the main means of attack.

This first line of defense alone is enough for any attacking force to drink.

After receiving the order of Kawagishi Kyo Dazuo, the devil and the puppet army obviously strengthened the garrison of this line of defense, and the vigilance was also increased a lot.

The troops stopped outside the range of the Japanese fire blockade, and Qiao Youhua, with the cooperation of Wu Ming and others, quietly came to the bottom of a hillside, climbed high and raised a telescope to look at the Japanese defense line.

After observing for a while, Qiao Youhua said: "It seems that our scouts were not wrong in reconnaissance in advance, and ordered the first battalion of guards to prepare for the charge and bring all the planks." The anti-aircraft artillery unit immediately set up artillery and strafed me with the most intensive artillery fire to flatten the fire point of the Japanese pillbox! ”

Zheng Yunshan and Ma Yunlong stepped forward at the same time and agreed to the promise, and then each took the lead to arrange the troops to prepare.

Because of the reconnaissance in advance and the understanding of the Japanese defensive line outside the Jingcheng Pass, the attacking troops prepared the tools to cross the Japanese blockade ditch, that is, wooden planks with a length of more than four meters.

As long as the artillery fire can destroy the devil's turrets and pillbox fire points, and the infantry rush up in time and put the planks on the blockade ditch, then the troops can attack in a big way and break through the first line of defense of the Japanese army in one fell swoop.

This qiē is based on the premise of strong artillery fire, and first of all, it must have enough absolute superior firepower to crush the opponent.

The 88mm anti-aircraft guns equipped with the Dragon's Tooth Column undoubtedly have this power. This most famous anti-aircraft gun of the II period can easily penetrate the armor of a tank up to tens of millimeters at a distance of a thousand meters.

Now the Dragon's Tooth Column has deployed its artillery positions directly less than 400 meters away from the Japanese pillboxes and outside the turrets.

Even if the walls of the devil's bunker and turret are as thick as one meter, they can be destroyed and pierced.

While the Dragon's Tooth Column was erecting artillery and building an artillery position, some of the devils in the pillbox and turret noticed that something was wrong, but when they asked for artillery support from the gate, they had not yet received a response.

Fifteen 88mm anti-aircraft guns were ready, and with the order of Ma Yunlong, the commander of the air defense regiment, they opened fire one after another.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The dull sound of cannon ejection sounded, and fifteen high-explosive armor-piercing shells almost tore through the air at an astonishing speed, making a piercing whistling sound, and flew towards the Japanese defense line.
