Chapter 459 Reinforcements

After Lao Jiang saw this battle plan, he immediately figured out the joint, and gave Gu Zhutong and Zhang Zizhong an order to launch an attack on the original target, especially Gu Zhutong, and asked him to take a subordinate posture and let the advance army do the main attack, and do not rob the battlefield to clean up, and make a high posture.

The principal's calculating Gu Zhutong didn't know, and the moment he received the order, he found Yu Lei and discussed the attack.

Yu Lei received an order to assist him, and after understanding what Gu Zhutong meant, the army advanced, constantly looking for a suitable position to build a long-range artillery suppression position.

Although he is young, he does not mean stupid. The main attack is okay, but he will not blindly master the master, he will teach the Japanese army how to use artillery, so that Gu Zhutong does not even have the opportunity to observe and learn, and uses artillery shells to advance the battle line.

Their side moved, Zhang Zizhong also began to prepare, the army moved to the front, needless to say, the battlefield that had just stopped will be raging again.

When they moved, the Japanese army immediately became nervous, and there was no success in the peace talks, and no one pulled the strings, so they could only accept the recruitment.

The army also entered the stage of intense defense, and Nanjing, with all it had, did a good job of defense. Yangzhou also sent troops again to reinforce Nanjing, to preserve the fruits of victory in this location of the political axe of China, and to undermine the morale of the troops in China.

In the intense preparation for the battle, the 33rd Division's Gansu Shigetaro had already begun to make a detour, preparing to outflank the enemy troops blocking the road in front.

Looking at the results of the shelling, Kimura Hyotaro believed that with just one charge, they could rush into the opposite position.

The artillery bombardment continued, and the army began to move slowly, pressing forward, and when it got closer, it followed the artillery fire to attack the position.

Just when their army was four or five hundred meters closer to the mountain roots. Suddenly, there was a scream from behind the mountain, followed by several black shadows in the sky flying towards the rear of the Japanese army.

The moment Kimura Hyotaro heard the scream, he also saw dozens of black shadows disappear in a flash.

"Heavy artillery!"

Kimura Hyotaro's heart tightened, and then he shouted: "The third and fourth artillery positions destroy the enemy artillery positions!" ”

After shouting, he stood there and stared back at the back. See what happens. His No. 1 and No. 2 positions were in the mountain col, and he was not worried about the enemy's shelling, but he still wanted to know what the other side was going to bombard.

Several commanders also looked backwards, trying to understand the target of the other side's shelling. They did not believe that the other side would be able to find their own artillery positions so quickly.

But at this moment, there was a loud bang, and a huge mushroom cloud rose in the distance, and the black and red flames rolled up, and the earth trembled violently, making them feel like they were stepping on cotton under their feet. Unsteady on standing. As the earth shook, several horses neighed and spun around anxiously.

"What kind of cannon is this?"

The idea popped up for everyone.

"Report on what's going on!"

Kimura Hyotaro shook his body and shouted.

A captain staff officer then shook the phone and yelled. But there was no movement behind it.

Martyred......

All the commanders were a little dumbfounded. I don't know what the situation is, a platoon of artillery, at best, only twenty or thirty shells, will destroy the artillery position hidden in the mountain col?

At the foot of the mountain in the distance, Qu Jun couldn't help but look up at the distance in confusion when he heard the explosion. The explosion was not a martyrdom, just the sound of a cannonball falling. And it's not a ring, but there is not much difference between before and after. The interval is very short.

Artillery positions are not on flat ground?

Confused, he picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to see if there would be another round of bombing.

At this time, the four positions of the artillery positions in the rear of the Japanese army were only more than 100 meters apart, and the artillery was still on the positions. But people were lying all over the ground, and most of them were dizzy and lost their ability to move in a short time.

During the earthquake, the Japanese troops approaching did not stop, but they only approached the position of Yamane. Suddenly, Puff's head shattered, the blood mist immediately floated up, Bai Huahua's brains splashed everywhere, and in a short moment, hundreds of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and died.

The abrupt blow startled the slowly approaching Japanese troops, and they fell to the ground one after another, looking through the grass to find the direction of the attack.

But how could their eyes see the advance party in the grass three or four hundred meters away? Moreover, the head is not completely lying in the grass, close to the ground, and after lying down, there are still people who are shot in the head. The flying Heavenly Spirit Cover fell with hot brains, making the living Japanese soldiers terrified.

The blockade on this side had just begun, and the two brigades of the 33rd Division, which had made a roundabout, were also intensively sniped, and there was no gunfire, but people fell in pieces, and the grenadiers could not blow up the enemy at a throw distance of more than 100 meters. The movement formation of a wing spread out for two or three hundred meters, and the whole line was sniped. The opposing position, which seems to be several kilometers long, is not yet in sight.

"Mortar! Bombard the woods in front of you!! ”

The Japanese roared and set up mortars.

But as soon as the mortar was erected, bullets flew in the distance, and when they touched it, the Japanese soldiers who set up the guns were broken into pieces, and their bodies were torn apart and exploded with a bang.

The same situation occurred with three mortars in a row, and the Japanese were so timid that no one dared to support the mortar, which was covered with blood, and let the barrel lie on the ground.

"Get around!"

Knowing that the front was blocked and the enemy could not be seen, Shigetaro ordered two wings to make a detour and bypass the woods in front of him.

At this time, the soldiers who blocked the attack lay in the grass in front of the woods, comfortably sniping the Japanese soldiers who dared to show their heads. On a small hill in the distance, dozens of heavy snipers locked onto the Japanese troops below, and after the mortars could not be supported, they condescendedly and walked through the grass, looking for the figure holding the telescope, and then, with the sound of banging explosions, one commander after another was broken into pieces.

This made the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground panic, they would not retreat without an order, but such a terrifying way of death had already made the army's heart begin to waver. After all, the military commander was beside him, and he just slammed into pieces and splashed all over his body. The blood on their faces was enough to break them.

On this side, the Japanese troops stopped advancing, and before they could find out the situation, the advance soldiers of the two divisions were already running wildly in the grass and among the trees, and they were going around the flanks of the two divisions, and the encirclement could be completed in half an hour at most.

Sniping, for the current Japanese army, especially the new units that have just been formed, whose combat effectiveness is not strong, and whose psychological quality is low, is quite powerful. As soon as the emotions of fear spread, they cannot be controlled.

At this time, Sun Tao was waiting for accurate news from the front in the headquarters in Changzhou.

The Japanese army was already close to Lao Zhao's defensive line. He knew that the combat awareness and quality of the soldiers under Lao Zhao were not low, but the weapons were only three or eight big covers, light and heavy machine guns, and sniper rifles were almost none, and the guns that were left were less than 3,000 pieces, holding a long line of dozens of kilometers, and there were obviously not too many positions in one position, which could only be used as tactical sniping.

Therefore, he must give Lao Zhao fire support, and must ensure that the heavy artillery on the way can reach Changzhou safely.

Kimura Hyotaro was a little confused at this time, he hadn't experienced the battlefield, but he had never seen such a strange battle. The enemy of the other side was in front, and the Shantou position was clearly full of corpses, but the troops were constantly attacked and killed, and in just ten minutes, thousands of soldiers gave their lives in such a daze, and they didn't even know where the enemy was.

"Herald! Brigade Unit Charge! Be sure to find out where the enemy is!! ”

He roared loudly and gave the order to test the fire ahead.

The Japanese troops at the front received an order to launch a fire test on the front with a wing unit.

Charged, they no longer flinched, they all held their guns, charging in the direction of the top of the mountain. The artillery positions had not yet been heard, and they had to find the enemy's positions before the artillery positions could be fired.

In the grass, the fighters had a pile of bullet-filled magazines in front of them, and after the Japanese entered the 400 meters, they began to shoot accurately.

In the grass, smoke slowly drifted up, the blades of grass kept shaking, and the bullets popped, flying towards the target in front of them.

With a three-tiered position, a regiment of more than 1,000 people, and more than 1,000 sniper rifles, where could the charging Japanese troops withstand such a dense sniper? The flying blood mist instantly filled with the footsteps of the charge, making the smoke floating from the grass in front of him inconspicuous.

Rapid shooting, just six or seven seconds is a magazine. The fighters no longer aimed at the head, allowing the frequency of shooting to increase and the number of shots not decreasing. The second magazine was replaced, and the remaining hundreds of Japanese troops were no longer able to rush forward, and they all retreated to the starting point, looking into the distance in horror.

In the grass, miserable cries drifted one after another, and those Japanese soldiers who had been hit in the abdomen and did not hit the vital point howled in horror, or struggled to crawl back, or tried to find someone to help.

But their companions have already fled, and who cares about them?

Before the battle report reached Kimura Hyotaro, he received that most of the artillery in the rear position was injured by a loud bang, and those who were close to the location of the explosion were directly killed. And the position of the shelling was still a few tens of meters from the position, and did not fall on the position.

"Hiss......"

Hyotaro Kimura gasped. If only one position was like this, the four positions separated by a hundred meters were all in this situation, and he really couldn't figure out how big the opponent's artillery was.

"Substitute! Artillery positions must be allowed to resume firing! ”

Shocked, he did not give up the use of artillery.

"Mortar mounts, maximum range bombardment of hills and slopes!"

He was still pondering here, adapting to the tactics of the advance army, and the two divisions that had bypassed them had already passed a few kilometers away from them, rushing straight behind them, and a siege and annihilation were inevitable.

The mortar was successfully raised, and with it, the tom shells flew into the sky, to the hilltop position in front, to the mountainside.

At the base of the mountain, the soldiers listened to the cannonballs flying by, and one by one they lay down in the grass and laughed secretly. The artillery set off by the Japanese army could not even blow up a single hair. Wrong judgment makes this blockade no suspense at all. Even the enemy's position could not be found, and it was estimated that no one would be able to fight this battle. (To be continued......)
