Chapter 696: The Chinese's Heavy Artillery

Crossing the river with heavy equipment, on the plains of the Pingchuan River, against the mud-legged Chinese, it is simply a one-sided crushing, there is no doubt about it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

That's why Kenji Dohihara chose the place of Dongkou as a breakthrough.

First, he can take care of each other with the Japanese army on the Jining side (this is no longer realistic), and this Luxi Plain is really suitable for the development of his mechanized corps.

Four or five kilometers of the front are pushed all the way through.

Where have the Chinese seen this kind of battle, it is estimated that the fear has broken the guts.

But the facts gave him a blow to the head, and the Chinese not only were not frightened, but first gave him a dull stick, and before the mechanized equipment could cross the river, a brigade was killed, and a captain of the Dazuo Wing was forced to commit suicide by disembowelment.

When he saw the corpse of Toyama Deng, he was in a bad mood and wanted to find someone to slash him, but he held back, he was not the angry Nakajima Isago who was so cruel and easy to kill.

Next, a mistake by Takashi Sakai allowed the Chinese to seize the opportunity and launch a night attack, as a result, all the advantages gained in one day turned into ashes.

Kenji Dohihara knew very well that the Honor First Division was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with, and this was not all the main force of the Honor First Division.

He was sure that this honorary 1st Division in Juancheng was only a part of it, and it was still a long-distance attack, and it did not carry too many heavy weapons.

It was supposed to be a great fighter, but it still made Takashi Sakai slip away.

After two days of fighting, nearly 2,000 elite soldiers of the empire were killed and wounded before advancing to the city of Juancheng, and the opponent lacked the slightest intention of collapse.

It's still underestimated.

Takashi Sakai personally approached Kenji Dohihara and made a self-examination, Kenji Dohihara didn't blame him, he didn't fight with the First Division of Honor, he wouldn't have known the horror of this army.

The "devil" troops, if not so terrible, would the base camp have issued such a ban?

Although the ban prevented the spread of panic, it also caused a certain amount of misleading attention to the generals of the empire, who did not pay enough attention to this force.

Therefore, Takashi Sakai suffered a big loss, and as the commander of the division, he should have the responsibility to remind, but he did not do enough, and he was also responsible.

In fact, Kenji Dohihara himself is helpless, if he reminds too much, it will make his subordinates rebellious, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it will be even worse.

Forbearance, Kenji Dohihara can only endure, only let his subordinates realize it.

It's just that the price is a little too much.

Fortunately, Takashi Sakai realized that he no longer despised his opponent, and he fought steadily, without impatience, and finally forced his opponent to retreat constantly.

"Sakai-kun, early tomorrow morning, I will give you another tank squadron, cooperate with you in the attack, take Juancheng, and eliminate this Zhonggj team, is there a problem?"

"Hai, please rest assured, division commander."

"Although Juancheng is small, it is an important military town in Luxi, although it was bombarded by my heavy artillery, but relying on the remnants of the fortifications, they still have the strength to fight, you must not be careless, has the commander of the other party found it out?" Kenji Tsuchihara asked.

"I found out clearly, it is the new 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division of the Chinese Army, and the brigade commander is called Liao Sen, but the battlefield commander is not him, it is a deputy brigade commander named Xie Chengrui."

"Xie Chengrui, I seem to have heard of this name, it shouldn't be an unknown person." Kenji Dohihara frowned slightly, he was in the field of intelligence, and he was very interested in people and things in China, and his memory was also very good.

"Yes, this person used to be the head of the elite teaching corps of the Chinese Army, and he should have been born in Huangpu or had study abroad experience."

"I think this person has flexible tactics and changeable tactics, and he is a pretty strong opponent."

"Yes, this person is good at attacking and defending, and he is rare in the Chinese army, and he can be called a strong enemy."

"Then you have to be careful, tonight, will he repeat his old tricks and give another night attack?" Kenji Dohihara reminded.

"I don't think that in today's battle, they are not under our army, and their purpose is to drag us south, there is no need to fight with us, and we are now prepared, and it would be stupid to repeat the old tricks."

"Well, what you said makes sense, just deploy it according to your wishes."

"Hay!"

Under the kerosene lamp, Leng Feng held the big sea bowl in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other hand to look carefully on the map, and at the same time restored the terrain and landforms presented on the map in his mind.

"Master, your side is called a tuotuo, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold."

"It's okay, gnocchi tastes better." Leng Feng glanced at the noodles in the bowl and smiled, "How is it, is there any good news?" ”

"There is no good news, but there is bad news."

"What's the bad news?"

"Surabaya is lost, and Cao Leshan has lost contact." Long Yingqin said.

When Leng Feng heard this, his face changed slightly, Surabaya was lost, which surprised him, Cao Leshan, with more than 4,000 people, couldn't hold a Surabaya county?

At best, the Japanese army is only a brigade, 1,800 people, even if the weapons are more advanced, it will not be lost so quickly, right?

If Surabaya is lost, the right flank of Yanzhou will be in danger, and this will increase the pressure on Zhang Zhongling, who is guarding Yanzhou, but of course, the situation has not deteriorated to that extent.

Zhang Zhongling is not Cao Leshan, and the 39th Brigade is not the 29th Division.

"Telegraph to Zhang Zhongling, don't blindly think about defending, in the creed of our honorary first division, offense is the best defense, the more we defend, the more flaws, the easier it is for the Japanese army to take advantage of loopholes and hurt its ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of its fingers, so he should understand." Leng Feng said.

"Yes, Master!"

"Go, at the same time, let Liao Sen be vigilant against the Japanese army in the direction of Tengxian County, our army's general attack is imminent, and we must prevent the Japanese army from jumping over the wall in a hurry." Leng Feng thought for a moment and commanded again.

"Master, do you have any other orders?"

"No, go ahead." Leng Feng paused, picked up his chopsticks, and continued to finish the noodles in the bowl.

"Commander Zhang, look at this place, is it feasible to use it as an artillery position for you?" After a. The rapid march of the night made a big circle, and at about two o'clock in the second half of the night, the 17th Heavy Artillery Regiment finally arrived at its destination.

A place called Xishuang Temple.

A battalion of the new 37 confronted the Japanese army here, and the camp of the Japanese army was not far away, and the bonfire in the camp had long been extinguished at this moment, but by the starlight, the outline of the Japanese camp tent could still be seen.

"Let me take a look, we have a total of sixteen cannons, and we need a large area to put them out......"

"There is a threshing field at the east end of the village, the terrain is relatively high, and the foundation is more explained, just for you to use as a position!" Cheng Gangdao, who has been demoted to the commander of the first battalion.

"Okay." Zhang Yingqi nodded, the recoil of this heavy cannon is very strong, if the ground is too soft, if it can't withstand the impact, it can overturn the cannon by itself.

Before Zhang Yingqi came, Cheng Gang had already made a field trip, and the basic gun positions had been decided, so it was up to him to arrange it.

Cheng Gang took Zhang Yingqi around, he was very satisfied, and even some artillery positions had been reserved in advance, and the preparations were very sufficient, saving a lot of time.

In this way, the artillery can be immediately stationed in the gun position, and then leave more time for debugging, which is undoubtedly more guaranteed for the success of this plan.

"Commander Zhang, you just have to fight, the task of our battalion is to ensure your safety."

"Then thank you Camp Commander Cheng."

"You're welcome, it's all about fighting devils." After Cheng Gang handed over the position to Zhang Yingqi, he went to arrange his own blocking mission.

Two hours later, all artillery was in position, everything was ready.

Xishuangmiao is about four kilometers away from Dongkou, within the range of the Liao Type 14 artillery, plus a battalion of reconnaissance in advance, delineated some valuable targets, and then adjusted the shelling targets of each gun position respectively.

Everyone knew that this mission was likely to be gone forever, and under the eyes and nose of the Japanese army, once the Japanese army reacted, what would be the consequences.

The pre-dawn darkness soon passed, and the sky grew brighter.

"Head Zhang, it's time to start!" Cheng Gang stood by Zhang Yingqi's side and reminded them softly, they were too close to the Japanese army, and once they were discovered and alerted, they would not be able to achieve the effect of surprise.

"Let's go!" Zhang Yingqi knew that once he gave this order, the fate of the 17th Artillery Regiment would be fixed.

Bang Dang!

There was a loud bang, and the eardrums of everyone in the earthquake headquarters were about to burst.

These old cannons, which have been used for nearly 20 years, finally ushered in their most brilliant and brilliant curtain call performance, this weapon actually has life, and they are not willing to be sent back to the furnace to rebuild after rusting, but to exert their last light and heat on the battlefield.

What was that?

Kenji Dohihara sat up suddenly, as if he had telepathy, and suddenly felt an extreme danger coming.

Are you having nightmares again?

Just as he was about to get out of bed, a violent explosion sounded, and it shook violently, as if some monster had come out of the ground.

The body fell on one side, and Kenji Dohihara was overturned and got out of bed again by this huge force!

Before he could get up from the ground, another loud bang was heard, and the ground shook unconsciously, bringing his body in another direction again, and his head slammed directly into the wooden edge of the tatami mat.

This time it was a real bump, and Kenji Dohihara only felt that his eyes were black, like a gold star, and when he reached out, his hands were blood-red.

Boom......

What's going on?

Kenji Dohihara didn't care about the big gap in his forehead, stumbled open the tent, rushed out, opened his eyes, and was stupid.

There were fires everywhere, explosions everywhere, soldiers in no clothes, scurrying around with their heads in their hands, and the panicked officers......

It's messy, it's messy!

The tank was blown up, and the car full of gasoline instantly caught fire and spread, instantly turning the surrounding area into a sea of fire, too close to dodge.

"Division commander, lie down!"

Kenji Dohihara was thrown to the ground from behind by the adjutant, and then he didn't know anything.

Chinese heavy artillery, how can they have heavy artillery......
