Chapter 656: Fight back

On the first day of the attack on the Yellow Cliff Cave base, the results of the giant artillery bombardment made Okamura Ningji very satisfied, with such a sharp weapon in hand, all the obstacles will be turned into powder, three days, it only takes three days, the Battle of Huangya Cave can come to an end, Okamura Ningji set a timetable for himself, as long as a gap is opened in the defense system of Huangya Cave, the imperial soldiers will pour in like a wild wave, and the seemingly solid fortifications will become the grave of the soldiers of China, maybe it won't take three days, right?

Consolidate the occupied positions and continue to shell the positions of the follow-up Chinese army, this is the second order issued by Okamura Ningji, the silent cannonball, once again earth-shattering, Huangya Cave is shrouded in smoke and gunsmoke, from a distance, the Huangya Cave base, seems to be trembling in the violent artillery bombardment.

This time, Chang Feng learned his lesson, and the giant cannon that did not make Okamura Ninji pinned his hopes on play a big role, and he had already ordered all the troops of the second line of defense to withdraw to the third line of defense, which is also the last line of defense in the core area of Huangyadong, and further in, there is the industrial area and living area.

Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang summed up the lessons of the first line of defense, they found that the destroyed bunkers were built on the flat ground at the entrance of the valley, and the dark forts that relied on the cave were rarely destroyed, and the soldiers inside were not killed by shelling, but were shocked to death, and the third line of fortifications was precisely based on the natural cave, which was artificially transformed, which could effectively avoid being destroyed by the perverted cannon of the little devil.

However, there is a problem that has not yet been solved, how can the warriors hidden in the cave bunker avoid being shocked to death by the shock wave? Division Commander Tang Qiuli sent a telegram back, the high efficiency of the independent division's intelligence system once again played a role, and the Japanese army's attack on the giant artillery of Huangyadong has been clearly placed on Tang Qiuli's desk.

He is also in the information of later generations, the Japanese army used to deal with the Soviets of the giant artillery has some understanding, history, this super-large caliber cannon, did not play a role, after the Soviet Union declared war on the Kwantung Army, successfully carried out strategic deception, the direction of the giant artillery bombardment, there is no shadow of a Soviet man, the Japanese painstakingly built the murder weapon, became a decoration, did not expect, Okamura Ningji used it to attack the Yellow Cliff Cave, history is really a master of magic.

The defense system of Huangya Cave was designed by him personally, every fortification was familiar with his chest, Chang Feng gave up the second line of defense, so that Tang Qiuli sighed unusually to Chang Feng, this guy, at a glance saw the root of the problem, and took undoubtedly the most correct measures, he affirmed Chang Feng's method in the telegram to Chang Feng, and clearly pointed out that the way to deal with the huge shock wave when the Japanese giant cannon shell exploded, how to save the lives of the soldiers.

He did not give any guidance on specific tactics, Chang Feng's expression made Tang Qiuli full of confidence in defending the battle of Huangyadong, after receiving the telegram from the division commander, Chang Feng did not have a trace of doubt, countless practice has proved that the division commander's judgment and foresight are absolutely accurate, he seized the time, the division commander's order, conveyed to all the regimental commanders of the garrison unit, and demanded that the division commander's method be strictly followed, and no one should be out of shape.

In the core area of Huangya Cave, they immediately became busy, and when the Japanese artillery bombarded the second line of defense, although they could only lie down and talk in their ears, everyone carried out this preparation in an orderly manner according to their respective tasks, showing the amazing organization and discipline of the units of the independent division.

Tang Qiuli's method, in today's view, is really dirty and slag, use all the quilts, make soundproof equipment, seal all the holes, the soldiers guarding the dark fort, each pair of earplugs made of cotton, and a thick cotton quilt under their feet, play the role of sound insulation, when the Japanese shelling, all the soldiers have to lie on the cotton bedding, Tang Qiuli can only use these soil methods, if he has a soundproof sponge, he will never use these substitutes.

What made him feel fortunate was that when the Yellow Cliff Cave was built, it was in the consideration of air defense, and he took precautions, Tang Qiuli ordered all the factories and research institutions to be set up in the huge cave, and in the open space in the core area of the Yellow Cliff Cave, there were only rows of accommodation houses, and there was no pity if it was blown up.

The shelling of the Japanese artillery lasted for an hour and a half, and twenty-eight earth-shattering monsters splashed tons of steel into the mountains, highlands, and woods of Huangya Cave, and the explosion ignited the forest fire, and the smoke and flames flew straight into the air, and the evening sun was dim, which added to the tense atmosphere. The irritability in my heart has been greatly reduced, and it does not affect my normal work.

The Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, taking advantage of the last touch of sunset, which had not yet been swallowed up by the mountains, the Japanese army once again occupied the second defensive position of Huangyadong without a single shot, bursts of piercing cheers, echoing in the valley, the Japanese plaster flag and the wolf's tooth-like military flag, rising in the position, under the residual sun, bloodthirsty scarlet.

Some excited Japanese soldiers, with tears in their eyes, choked up and sang the Japanese military song, what "the red collar badge on the soldier's uniform, just like the ten thousand cherry blossoms blooming, falling on the land of Asia, all the states are healthy" There was a wolf howl in the valley, for a while, it was also vigorous, Ma Chaoyang, who was observing the movement of the Japanese army in the hidden department, was so angry that he gritted his teeth, ate the shells of the little devil for a day, lost almost a regiment, and had no chance of revenge.

The Japanese army is not good at night attack, after winning two games in a row, it is arrogant and careless, concentrate all the mortars, sneak out to the two flanks of the Japanese army, and attack its unprepared artillery bombardment by surprise, Guan Bao let these Japanese soldiers cry wolf and eat a feast of shells, the troops quickly withdrew to the cave, and the Japanese heavy artillery retaliated and could not find the target.

In addition to the hands of the troops, Zhang Quan, the minister of logistics, took out all the stocks again, there were more than 6,000 doors, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders were stunned for a while, and it was also strange that this "Zhang Jiaomen'er" usually received equipment when he was very careful, how could he be generous today?

Zhang Quan said proudly: "This is all the existing belongings of our independent division, don't look at our usual picking, and we can give up at a critical time, after being bombed by the little devil's shells for a day, you guys have to vent their evil anger, by the way, all use high-explosive shells, I will open a strip, you go to the ammunition depot to receive" After speaking, with a big stroke of the pen, ten shells per mortar, there is no ambiguity at all.

Chang Feng said with a wry smile: "Minister Zhang, you don't need so many mortars and shells, the existing ones in the hands of the troops are enough, as long as five shells are enough, we don't have so many artillery" Zhang Quan regretfully ordered his subordinates to transport the brand-new mortars back to the cave.

Even so, the three combat brigades, plus the trained artillery recruits, also have more than 900 mortars that can be dispatched, looking at the long queue in front of them, the veterans with calm faces, excited and nervous recruits, Chang Feng said solemnly: "Tonight's task is a surprise attack, the commanders of each leading team pay attention, each mortar, only five shells are allowed to be fired, the battle must be ended within six minutes, immediately withdraw to the concealed department, if that unit violates discipline, the commander immediately dismisses his post and leaves"

The troops are divided into two ways, sneaking out of the dark passage, along the highlands on both sides of the valley, touching the two wings of the Japanese army, leading the figure of several brigade commanders, disappearing in the darkness, standing in the dark for a long time, sculptural and motionless, at this time in the past, in the core area of Huangya Cave, the lights are brilliant, the sound of the machine is rumbling and deafening, the laughter of the busy soldiers and the military workers of the factories comes from time to time, everywhere is full of vitality, even the smell of medicine wafting from the medical area, there is a special breath.

Now, in the core area of Huangya Cave, there is no light, it is as silent as death, it seems that you can see the low whistling sound of the mountain wind blowing the treetops, it has been here for a few months, and it is often the wind that blends into the fiery life, and it is not used to the silent Huangya Cave, this dark night, how many unquiet hearts, how many pairs of wide eyes, waiting for the safe return of the comrades-in-arms.

The only thing he was worried about was that he was afraid that the soldiers would be red-eyed, anxious to avenge the sacrificed comrades, and refused to give up the opportunity to get it, if this is the case, the loss will be great, the six minutes he gave was strictly calculated, and the time for the Japanese artillery to counterattack was at least fifteen minutes or more, and nine minutes was enough for the troops to retreat to a safe area.

He listened attentively to the movement outside the valley, there was no sound at all, the night was as silent as a freeze, the troops had been set off for more than 30 minutes, why hadn't they started yet, maybe the Japanese army was on guard, and there was no chance to attack, too, there must be a large number of sentinels on the commanding heights around the camp, this is a matter of common sense, Chang Feng sighed, it is better to not fight than to attack forcibly.

These brigade commanders and regiment commanders who led the team are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they will never be brutal if they don't have the opportunity, so why should they worry, Chang Feng shook his head self-deprecatingly, beckoned the guards, and prepared to return to the command headquarters and continue to complete the half-written specific operational guidance for the defense of Huangyadong, and the division commander was waiting to ask for it.

Suddenly, the eyes lit up, the direction of the second line of defense on the periphery of Huangya Cave, on both sides, on the top of the stretching mountain, countless bright spots rose, meteor-like dense, flower-like splendor, in the dark night sky, with a beautiful arc, fell from the highest point, and then, a loud sound of shaking the mountain, clearly transmitted into the ears of Changfeng.

It can be seen with the naked eye that where is the second line of defense, there is a sky-high fire, half of the sky is dark red, explosions are constantly coming, Chang Feng high-fives excitedly, and he succeeded
