At the same time as the battle for Erlongshan began, the elite selected from various divisions would also join the guerrillas in Suiyuan, Inner Mongolia and other places to start the task of opening up guerrilla base areas behind enemy lines in Rehe Province.

Under the guidance of local guides, they began to continuously attack those lonely and remote puppet army strongholds. The puppet army did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would appear in Rehe, and the result can be imagined.

The small guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army were like bamboos behind enemy lines in Rehe, and soon swept through large areas occupied by the enemy, establishing one anti-Japanese base area after another behind enemy lines.

That night, at the foot of Erlong Mountain, several artillery companies of the 3rd Division, plus the artillery brought by the guard regiment, a total of more than 60, 70, and 75mm guns, lined up 1.5 kilometers away from the Japanese position.

With the order of the artillery battalion commander, the artillery roared one after another, and under a series of muffled sounds, one after another the shells dragged the scarlet dazzling tail flame and rose into the air.

In the dark night, it was like a bright meteor falling from the sky, smashing towards the Japanese position.

Chuan Qinggu and his soldiers, at this moment, were having dinner, and were deeply shocked by the sudden screaming cannon, or Chuan Qinggu, the old devil, reacted quickly, he turned his head to look at the scene of the cannonball fire, he was just stunned, and immediately his face changed and roared: "It's the artillery attack of the people, hide quickly, prevent the artillery!" ”

This wave of devils is not a loss of well-trained elites, and many people have already sensed the danger, so almost when Chuan Qinggu roared out a warning, they threw away the things they were eating in their hands, and quickly lay down, and some even got into the anti-artillery holes that were dug idle during the day.

俅俅俅俅...... Boom Boom Boom! The cannonballs fell like meteors, and there was a violent series of explosions.

Clusters of scarlet and dazzling firelight rose up all over the Japanese position, and the raging shock wave set off countless dirt and rubble, and the devil's position shook the ground and became a mess.

Some devils who failed to dodge in time were hit on the spot by the raging shrapnel, and some devils were directly torn apart by the shock wave and cut off their limbs.

Soon, the second wave of shelling came, and after more than a dozen rounds of shelling, more than hundreds of shells fell on the Japanese positions, covering the three ring fortifications they had built in the Kawaharu Valley several times.

The entire Japanese position was bombed to pieces and in shambles.

However, the Longya artillery under the mountain did not show signs of stopping the bombardment, but continued to shell, the artillery fire became more and more fierce, and the rumbling cannon sound continued to burn for a long time.

Although Kawa Haruya and his Japanese troops hated the eight roads under the mountain, they were helpless, who called this the opponent's home field, and their own side had no artillery, so they could only be passively bombed.

The most hateful thing is that the shelling of the Shina people turned out to be at night, even if he Kawa Haruya now sent a telegram to the division commander asking for air support, it would be of no avail.

Dawn, after dawn, I must ask for air force support and raze all those damned Chinese artillery under the mountain to the ground.

Thinking of this, Chuan Haruya immediately ordered: "When the artillery fire of the Chinese army weakens slightly, or the extension stops, I will immediately send an observer to observe and measure their position, and as soon as it is dark, I will immediately ask His Excellency the division commander for air support and kill them." ”

It's just that to Kawa Haruya's despair and annoyance, it's the second half of the night, and the dragon's tooth column under the mountain is still continuing to shell their positions, although the density of the shells is not as good as at the beginning, but it has not been interrupted.

Their positions were already devastated, and no one dared to stand up from the trenches or anti-artillery holes, and there was no way to measure the exact position of the opponent's artillery positions.

When it was almost dawn, Chuan Qinggu roared angrily like a beast full of anger: "Yagaya Road, damn Shina, they have been shelling all night!" Big drop cunning! ”

At the same time, Qiao Youhua slept well in a military tent, and when he noticed that it was dawn, he woke up, washed up, and came to the headquarters of Zhao Erniu's department, which had been used as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

When Qiao Youhua arrived, he unexpectedly found that Zheng Yunshan, Zhao Tiezhu, Zhao Erniu and others were all there, and said in surprise: "Why didn't you go to rest?" ”

"Commander, this cannon sound is endless, where can I sleep, I only slept for a while, and then I simply came to the command post to wait for dawn." Zheng Yunshan said with a smile.

Zhao Erniu also nodded and agreed: "Commander, yesterday's shame has not been washed away, I and my subordinates are the same, and we can't sleep well at all, so I hereby ask the commander to hand over the task of the main attack to us later, and I promise to take the Japanese position." ”

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and said: "I said last night, let you rest well, today is a battle, if you don't rest, how can you have the energy to kill devils?" Now go back to sleep for me, the shelling will stop soon, you should be able to sleep, and I will send someone to inform you when you need to attack. ”

Zhao Erniu said in surprise: "Commander, don't you attack immediately after the shelling is over?" ”

"No, the devil was shelled by us all night, not to mention the heavy casualties, they must have held back their anger, if I guessed correctly, as soon as the sky dawns, the Japanese air force fighters will come quickly, Jinan is only an hour's flight from here.

Therefore, when the shelling is over, the artillery units and even the blockade troops must do a good job of concealment to prevent the devils from shelling, and as for the attack, wait until the devils have finished supporting the air raids this time. Next is the time for the air defense regiment to perform, and I will make the air force of the little devil never dare to set foot in this airspace again.

Let this little devil on Erlong Mountain completely break his mind, only by plunging them into despair can their commander make a mistake and make a wrong command decision, so that we can destroy them. Qiao Youhua said.

"Commander, didn't you bring the tank unit here? That would be so troublesome, and now there is still half an hour before dawn, so why don't you order the artillery units to stop the shelling, assign the tank units to our regiment, and guarantee that within an hour and a half, that is, before the arrival of the enemy planes, take the Japanese positions and completely annihilate them. Zhao Erniu said confidently.

Zheng Yunshan was also a little moved, if there was the cover assistance of the tank, then if the guard regiment fought with all its might, it should not be a big problem to take down the Japanese positions that had been subjected to heavy shelling all night, so after Zhao Erniu finished speaking, he also looked at Qiao Youhua with hopeful eyes.

Qiao Youhua knew that they were eager to fight, and said patiently: "Your spirit is commendable, but haven't you noticed that the position chosen by the devil is quite steep?" This is not suitable for tank travel.

In other words, it is better for the tank to advance to a place three hundred meters away from the Japanese position, and these three hundred meters will be an insurmountable gap for our infantry.

A feint attack on a steep terrain of 300 meters, in the face of the enemy's all-firepower interception with full American equipment, and a rash charge, it is absolutely as many as there are dead, unless the Japanese army dies or runs out of ammunition. ”
