Chapter 448: Secretly Preparing

"The devil has suffered a big loss from our conscienceless artillery, so he mobilized planes to bomb and retaliate, how are the defenses of your battalions doing?" Qiao Youhua asked.

"The devil's attack failed just now, and the flying thunder cannons were all hidden in the tunnel, and the devil's bombardment caused some damage to the ground fortifications at most, no matter what, it can't collapse our underground fortifications, after all, there are still so many of our bunkers on the ground." Jiang Haidong said.

"There's no problem on my side, the soldiers also have cat ear holes to hide, and the casualties won't be too big." Wu Ming said.

Qiao Youhua nodded and sat down again, at this moment, the Japanese bomber group had begun to bombard the dragon's tooth defense position outside the city.

Qiao Youhua's prediction was good, he suffered a big loss without conscience, and the devil hated the dragon tooth troops outside the city equipped with this artillery, so he asked the air force bombers to pour the aerial bombs into the positions outside the city.

In the city, he could clearly feel the trembling of the earth and the deafening roaring explosion, after Qiao Youhua sat down, he said to everyone: "Time is pressing, long story short, my plan is to take the initiative to abandon the three main peripheral field positions outside the city before dawn tomorrow......"

As soon as Qiao Youhua's words came out, everyone changed color, looked at each other, and took the initiative to give up the position, what kind of plan is this? However, they didn't interrupt Qiao Youhua's narration, because they knew that Qiao Youhua would definitely have something to do, and he would definitely not destroy the Great Wall.

Sure enough, Qiao Youhua paused and said, "Before retreating, you have one of the most important tasks, that is, to lay mines, mines or cluster grenades in the trenches as much as possible!" The most important thing is that each of your battalions will send an extra group of men tonight to plant explosives packs at the top of the tunnel under the position outside the city, that is, close to the ground.

After the person who can transport the explosives arrives, I will send a telegram to Zhao Youde, the deputy commander of the third battalion, and ask him to quickly organize the people of Feiyunling to transport all the explosives we have accumulated over the past year, and we will send a big gift package to the little devil! Turn the tide of battle in one fell swoop, then blow the horn of a counteroffensive! ”

Everyone's hearts were agitated when they heard this, and Jiang Haidong seemed to have an understanding and said: "Regiment leader, do you mean to use the field defense position outside the city as bait, and then detonate the explosives we arranged in advance after the devils enter?" ”

"Yes, thousands of kilograms of explosives, grenades, mines, in short, all our family resources are taken out and used, and the artillery battalion will be able to produce another hundred conscienceless guns before dawn tomorrow, and when the time comes, combined with the intensive bombardment of conscienceless artillery, we will definitely be able to raze all the positions outside the city.

The devil on it is naturally a pot of stew! Then the whole regiment launched a full-front counterattack! The grooms, the men, the communication soldiers, and the health soldiers all rushed up to Lao Tzu, and won this battle, and all our losses were returned! Qiao Youhua nodded.

Ma Biao couldn't help but slap his thigh and said: "This is a good idea, the little devils continue to storm our position subordinates, if we suddenly retreat, they will definitely take the opportunity to capture it, and then take advantage of the situation to continue to attack the city defense!" Even if they know that there are ghosts, they will take the initiative to jump into the pit we dug for them! Haha, the little devil of the dog ~~ day can't run away this time! ”

Wu Ming also nodded and agreed: "That's right, this is Yangmou, the devil has repeatedly attacked our position, and he suddenly succeeded, even if he was a little worried that he would be deceived, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation!" This plan works. ”

"Since you all have no opinions, then do it, take out your respective family backgrounds, don't be stingy with those pots and jars, if you win this battle, you can get back to your capital, and you can make a lot of money!"

Qiao Youhua said with some fascination: "When we win this battle, we will take the opportunity to recover Pingshan, Lingshou, Zhengding, and develop vigorously, I believe that we will soon be able to recover our strength and continue to grow, the most important thing is that our cooperation with the British has also come to fruition, and now the machines and technologies we need are stuck in Tianjin and cannot be shipped in."

Once we have defeated the devils, we will have a chance to bring them in, and then we can set up our own arsenal! ”

"Everything has to be started from scratch, from small to large, sooner or later, one day, we will be able to establish our own military industry belonging to the Eighth Route Army and take the lead in raising the banner of counteroffensive in North China!"

"Yes! Please rest assured that the mission will be completed! Everyone stood up and answered in unison.

Everyone was ordered to prepare, and Qiao Youhua also asked Liu Ruhan to call Zhao Youde, who was left behind in Feiyunling, and informed him to organize manpower to transport more explosives through the underground passage.

The more than 600 soldiers of the artillery battalion were also fully mobilized by Ma Yunlong, who took those artillerymen who could make unconscionable artillery as the backbone, divided them into dozens of working groups, and rushed to build them separately.

In order to avoid the shelling of the devils, the artillerymen all moved into the underground tunnels to work.

At this time, Jiang Haidong and the others also returned to their respective positions outside the city through the guò underground passage, most of the officers and soldiers dodged in time, most of them entered the tunnel, and the small group of vigilant soldiers left on the ground also had cat ear holes to hide.

Therefore, the bombardment of the devils looked huge, but it did not cause too many casualties to the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, and only a few soldiers were unfortunately hit by the explosions of the devils' aerial bombs and died heroically.

In front of the headquarters of the 8th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Aoki was holding a telescope to watch the bombing results of his bomber group, and a Japanese adjutant next to him said: "Your Excellency, General, you see, the positions of the Chinese have turned into a sea of fire, and under such fierce carpet bombardment by the Imperial Army, their hateful and mysterious artillery will definitely be gone." ”

When Major General Aoki heard these words, his heart felt a little better.

It's just that the devil didn't expect that there were also underground tunnels extending in all directions under these defensive positions outside the city, and the officers and soldiers at the front had already been instructed by Qiao Youhua to take precautions, and their bombing basically didn't have any big gains except for wasting some aerial bombs.

Of course, such a fierce momentum can still somewhat boost the morale of the demoralized imperial army.

…………

Shimen, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Nishimura Riwin said to Seishiro Itagaki with a somewhat heavy face: "General, according to the news from the front line, the Chinese army trapped in Luquan seems to have used a new type of artillery that the imperial army has never seen, and it is said that the caliber of this artillery is at least more than three hundred millimeters, which is extremely powerful!" Even the heavy howitzers of the Imperial Army were not necessarily comparable. ”

Itagaki Seishiro, who was drinking tea, heard the news and almost choked to death with the tea, coughing several times before he calmed down, and said with a face full of surprise: "Nani? New artillery with a caliber of more than three hundred mm? Bastards, they're lying about the military, aren't they? If the people really had such a large-caliber artillery, it is estimated that the imperial army would have been covered by their powerful artillery fire by now, with heavy casualties and a crush, right? ”

Nishimura Lewin was also puzzled: "Maybe the artillery of the Shina people does not have such a large range, and the specific situation is not clear, and it needs to wait for further verification by the front-line troops." ”
