Chapter 374: Shelling of the Japanese Headquarters in Taiyuan (Part II)
Soon, however, a hurried figure lifted their hearts again: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, all communication lines to the outside of the headquarters have been completely cut off. We were unable to reach the garrison wing on the periphery of the headquarters. Suzuki Nakasa once again hurried into the reception, and at the same time, replied with an anxious face.
"Nani, all the communication lines have been cut off from the Eight Grid Tooth Road, it must have been done by the people of China. These cunning Shina people, if they fall into my hands, I will definitely break them all into pieces, Yaga" Listening to the words of Suzuki Nakasa in front of him, the commander Major General Nakamura, who was standing in front of everyone, clenched his fists tightly and scolded loudly.
"Nakamura-kun, now the headquarters where we are has cut off all contact with the outside world. And around our headquarters, I don't know how many Chinese people have gathered. What should we do next? Please Nakamura-kun hurry up and give us all a plan. Just when Major General Nakamura's face was full of anger. Also among the invitees, the commander of a major general brigade of the Kwantung Army Division stationed in Taiyuan did not have any politeness and asked loudly.
looked at Major General Matsuda, who was of the same rank as himself in front of him, and was also the commander of the Kwantung Army Brigade with real power. The commander, Major General Matsuda, was very dissatisfied, but he could not show it. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Please rest assured that in the headquarters, we have enough troops to protect the safety of the entire headquarters and everyone, please don't have any panic." In addition, the garrison wing stationed at the distance headquarters will definitely send troops to reinforce it when they hear the gunshots. ”
"Yo Xi, then I'll wait for Nakamura-kun's good news and eliminate the Shina people on the periphery of the headquarters" After listening to Major General Nakamura's explanation in front of him, Major General Brigade Commander Matsuda nodded and said no more. With more than a dozen of his subordinates, he continued to drink red wine at the reception.
However, after listening to the lukewarm answer of the brigade commander in front of him, Major General Matsuda, the commander, Major General Nakamura, could not help frowning. Because, in the words just now, the meaning of Major General Matsuda was well expressed. If he can't eliminate the Chinese forces surrounding the headquarters in the shortest possible time. Major General Matsuda, who was in front of him, was very likely to go to the North China General Headquarters in Beiping and sue himself. And at that time, his position as commander of Taiyuan may be in the hands of Major General Matsuda in front of him.
However, while Major General Nakamura was quietly thinking about countermeasures, a massacre was taking place at the artillery position of the Japanese army a few miles away. As for the formation of the massacre, it was the gendarmerie unit of a squadron sent by the commander of the gendarmerie brigade after hearing the gunshots.
Facing the military police who hurriedly reinforced, the artillery wing. The first to greet them were the soldiers of the 1st Squadron, who had been carefully arranged and given them hesitant grenades. After receiving the order, the special combat team members who had already been hiding in the courtyard next to the street threw the nearly 1,000 grenades they had just captured one after another at the gendarmerie squadron on the street as quickly as they could.
As a result, more than 200 little devils, before they saw the station of the artillery wing, ushered in a dense array of grenades overhead. A dense explosion rang out throughout the street. Each time, nearly 100 grenades, in the hands of these special combat members, were thrown one after another into the street outside the courtyard where explosions were constantly occurring.
On a street less than four meters wide, and without any hidden streets. There are almost no hiding places for more than two hundred little devils, among the constantly exploding grenades. The flying shrapnel of grenades blocked almost the entire street, killing and injuring all the soldiers he could touch.
Finally, after two minutes, boxes of grenades, piled up in front of the fighters, were finally thrown into the street separated by a wall. With the explosion of the last grenade, the smoke began to slowly dissipate on this section of the street, which was more than 100 meters long.
However, at this time, in front of the soldiers, in addition to the mutilated corpses of the soldiers, the streets completely stained red with blood, and the little devils who were constantly squirming on the ground wounded soldiers. In the end, there were less than 20 little devils left who could stand up. However, at this time, after the hellish torture just now, the whole person was stunned. Even in the ears of many people, the sound of the explosion of the grenade just now echoed.
"There is no one left, let me destroy them all" Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, Captain Wang Hong did not have any pity. Because, lying in front of everyone is a little devil who is not even as good as a beast, and there must be no mercy for the little devil. Seeing the only dozens of little devils left in front of him, Wang Hong did not hesitate and decisively gave the order to fire.
"Da Da Da: A light machine gun fire sounded, and dozens of little devils who had just gotten up from the ground and had not yet reacted from the explosion just now fell to the ground again in this crisp sound of machine gun fire. However, at this time, they no longer have any chance to get up from the ground again.
"Yaga, Suzuki-kun, where did this gunfire come from" Although the headquarters and the artillery wing were stationed several miles away. However, the dense sound of explosions and gunfire still reached the headquarters in Taiyuan very well. The sound of dense explosions suddenly interrupted Major General Nakamura, the commander who was seriously thinking about how to deal with the armed forces of the people outside the country. Listen to the faint sound of gunfire, explosions outside the headquarters. Major General Nakamura couldn't help frowning, and asked loudly to the gendarmerie brigade Zhang Suzuki Nakasa, who had been waiting for an order.
"Hi, Your Excellency Commander, it must have been a squadron of gendarmerie that I had sent out and an exchange of fire with the forces of the China, who were attacking the artillery wing. According to the explosions and gunshots just now, all of them were the sounds of our standard weapons. Please don't worry, Your Excellency the Commander, it must be that our Imperial Army has an absolute advantage and is destroying the sneak attack on the Artillery Wing's Shina forces" Seeing the frowning commander in front of him, Major General Nakamura, the captain of the brigade, Suzuki Nakasa, quickly replied, "Yo Xi, since the Shina forces near the artillery wing will be wiped out by us. I think that when the reinforcements return to the headquarters, the Chinese armed forces blocking the periphery of our headquarters will also be easily eliminated by our internal and external attacks. Listening to Suzuki Nakasa's answer, Major General Nakamura nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he said to Major General Matsuda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Brigade, who was waiting for an answer and was ready to see his joke.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. I'm going to organize the troops. When a reinforced squadron of military police returned, they attacked from inside and outside, and wiped out the Shina forces on the periphery of the headquarters in one fell swoop," Suzuki Nakasa replied loudly. However, just then, the unexpected happened.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly interrupted the music at the reception and reached the ears of every commander of the army present. Anyone with a little military common sense knows that such a sound can only be made when heavy artillery shells fly through the sky.
In an instant, the commander of the Yue Army, who was still talking and laughing just now, turned white after hearing this sharp whistling sound. Only those puppet army commanders who still don't know why, don't know that death has come to their side, and still talk and laugh with each other at the drinking party.
"Eight grid tooth road, it's heavy artillery, Your Excellency Commander, hide quickly" Hearing the whistling, Suzuki Nakasa, who was just about to turn around to deliver the order, couldn't help but exclaim. At the same time, he pushed the commander Major General Nakamura, who was standing in front of him, to the ground at once. At the same time, some of the officers who reacted quickly at the whole reception also subconsciously fell to the ground.
"Boom" A huge explosion exploded in the front yard of the headquarters, and the dozen or so little devils guarding the front yard either turned into a soft corpse with the explosion of the shell, or were directly torn to pieces by the shell, and there was not even a complete corpse left. At the same time, in the middle of the front yard, at the point where the shell hit, a crater as deep as one meter suddenly appeared, and next to the crater, all of them were charred black soil.
"Baga, it's a heavy artillery shell, and it's a 105-mm heavy mountain artillery shell" Seeing the crater in the front yard, the first person who reacted was the wing commander of the mountain artillery wing of the Yue Army. Listening to the explosion sound that he was extremely familiar with, the commander of the artillery wing was almost shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Nani, 105 mm heavy mountain gun. How is it possible, how can the armed forces of the China people have such heavy weapons. Takeda-kun, you can't be mistaken, right? Listening to the exclamation of the commander of the artillery wing beside him. Major General Matsuda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Brigade who was lying next to him, asked in disbelief.
"Hi, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I can be sure that the shell just now is definitely a shell fired from a 105-mm mountain gun. The artillery wings to which our division belongs are all equipped with this kind of heavy mountain artillery. Therefore, I am very familiar with the surname of this artillery and the explosion of shells. Seeing the doubtful eyes cast at him by Major General Matsuda, the commander of the brigade, Takeda Daisa, the commander of the Mountain Artillery Wing, replied very affirmatively.
"Yaga Nakamura-kun, around the headquarters, how can there be heavy artillery controlled by the Zhina people." Seeing the affirmative eyes of Takeda Daisa, the commander of the Mountain Artillery Wing. The brigade commander, Major General Matsuda, frowned, looked at Major General Nakamura, who was also lying on the ground, and asked loudly.
"105 mm heavy mountain guns, how is it possible. Matsuda-kun, according to intelligence, in the entire territory of Taiyuan, except for the mountain artillery wing attached to the division and regiment, which has 36 heavy mountain artillery, the rest are all field artillery or howitzers. Baga, could it be that our artillery wing has already fallen into the hands of the armed forces of the Chinese people, absolutely impossible? After listening to Major General Matsuda's questioning, I suddenly thought of the bursts of explosions that had just come from the artillery wing station. The commander, Major General Nakamura, couldn't help but change his face greatly, and asked rhetorically in disbelief.
"Matsuda-kun, don't be kidding. You must know that in the mountain artillery wing, there is enough artillery of one wing plus one squadron of elite field troops, with a total strength of more than 1,800 people. Even if a regular Chinese army came to the last regiment, it could not be the opponent of this thousand or so imperial army. How could the artillery wing be wiped out by a group of people? When pigs fly? I heard that Major General Nakamura in front of him actually said that the station of his mountain artillery wing was occupied by the Chinese army. The brigade commander Matsuda did not hesitate and denied it.
However, just as the two major generals were arguing about who this heavy mountain gun belonged to, a sharper whistling sound reached everyone's ears. More than a dozen heavy mountain artillery shells, in the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it, all fell in the enemy's huge headquarters.
This time, the dozens of puppet army officers lying in the headquarters did not have such good luck. Two shells weighing more than a dozen pounds easily penetrated the roof of the headquarters at once, and a violent explosion occurred around these dozens of puppet army officers
"Boom, boom, boom" was only a round of artillery shelling, and the house that was the headquarters of the Chinese army collapsed with a bang in this huge explosion. Together with the dozens of officers of the army above the rank of rank who had not had time to retreat in the house, they were all buried in the rubble. Of course, how could special combat personnel who have sufficient artillery shells give up such a good opportunity for military training? Around the Taiyuan Command of the Japanese Army, in front of the latest coordinates constantly provided by the 3rd Special Operations Squadron. Heavy mountain artillery shells were fired as accurately as eyes to blow up the houses in the enemy's headquarters into ruins one by one.
After only a few minutes, the headquarters of the Japanese Army, which had just stood in front of the soldiers of the Third Squadron, turned into a pile of rubble and wounded little devils who kept wailing. As for the dozens of officers and officers large and small who gathered in the headquarters, they were all killed in the shelling just now.
Of course, for the injuries of these little devils who have lost their combat effectiveness, Liu Xiaogang, as the captain of the special operations team, will certainly not waste his precious time on them. Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil's reinforcements had not yet arrived, he took hundreds of team members, wearing military uniforms, and escaped the interrogation of the army very well, and successfully rendezvoused with the two squadrons that were sticking to the artillery wing of the army, and began to take advantage of the complete chaos of the army in the city to march towards his new combat target.
And when the commander of the military garrison wing personally ran to the headquarters panting with a large group of reinforcements. The entire headquarters, except for some ruins, basically cannot be seen in its original appearance. And in this headquarters, which has been completely blown into ruins, there are only a few dozen little devils left, who are in the ruins, treating the wounded back and forth.
"How could Yaga do this, who did it" Seeing the headquarters in front of him, which had completely become a ruin. The wing commander can imagine how much the commanders of the puppet army who were holding a drinking party in the headquarters could survive in the end.
As for the final statistical results, it is no surprise that all the officers of the puppet army who came to attend the reception were undoubtedly killed in the artillery fire just now. And he, as the captain of the Dazuo Wing of the garrison wing, after experiencing the shelling just now, has become the highest-ranking commander of the army in the entire Taiyuan City.
"Baga, the one who can make such a big trouble must be the Reading Division, it must be the Reading Division's Special Operations Brigade" looked at the corpses of dozens of officers in front of him. The co-captain clenched his fists tightly and scolded loudly.
"Hey, Your Excellency Wing Commander, now in Taiyuan City, except for our garrison wing, the remaining officers above the captain level have all been killed in the artillery fire just now, if nothing else. Your Excellency, what should we do next? Seeing the wing commander with an angry face on his face, the chief of staff beside him asked in a low voice.
"Baga, of course we must catch the murderer, we must catch the murderer. Judging from the sound of artillery just now, the special operations brigade of the Reading Force Division must still be in Taiyuan City. The garrison wing was ordered to be under martial law throughout the entire process, and all officers and men were forbidden to enter and leave their barracks without my orders. Let's go, let's go to the mountain artillery wing. The artillery capable of destroying the headquarters is only possessed by the mountain artillery wing stationed in the city. The wing captain did not hesitate, and ordered with a murderous face.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander," the Chief of Staff hastened to reply. Turning around and ordering behind him, a large group of imperial soldiers who were also stunned by the scene in front of him ordered loudly.
Immediately, a large group of Imperial Army soldiers, at the sound of the chief of staff's order, quickly ran towards the station of the mountain artillery wing. At the same time, the wing commander who remained next to the headquarters began to command, and the Japanese troops who came from other directions carried out emergency rescue at the headquarters, hoping to rescue several officers from the rubble.
But just when a brigade of little devils quickly sent reinforcements to the artillery wing. The main force of the Reading Division, led by the division commander Liu Hua personally, had unknowingly surrounded the entire Taiyuan City after several hours of roundabout. At the same time, the muzzles of all 36 guns of the heavy artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters have been aimed at the brightly lit Taiyuan airfield. As for the armored regiment that Liu Hua had high hopes for, all the tanks and soldiers were all hidden one kilometer away from the military airfield, waiting for the time to attack.
"Boom, boom, boom" listened to the continuous sound of explosions in Taiyuan City, although division commander Liu Hua did not receive a specific battle report from the special operations team. However, Liu Hua, who has great trust in the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade, can be sure that these explosions must have been caused by the special operations brigade's wanton destruction in Taiyuan City.
