Chapter 1128 Degang Raid

A qiē is in the calm, the annoying rain, is still falling unhurriedly, only the other party's gradually showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, heralding the arrival of another dawn, Lieutenant General Nagumo Taro, woke up from the haze, this night, he did not sleep well, not worried about anything, but the order of Commander Ito, still in his heart.

If it weren't for the order to stop the advance immediately, then, at this moment, he should have slept in Inyuwa Town, last night, he refused the kindness of his subordinates to get two local flower girls, and generously transferred the two crying flower girls to his own guard captain and guard soldiers, looking at the ecstatic appearance of his subordinates, Nanyun shook his head.

It's not that Lieutenant General Nagumo has a high level of ethics, but he has a high vision, in his opinion, the local flower girl, very low-grade, dark-skinned, short and not to mention, and I don't understand the style at all, compared to the local geisha, it's not a grade at all, especially before I went to Cochinshina, Miss Hanako, who met in Ginza, Tokyo, is called a **.

After thinking about Miss Hanako's plump and fair-skinned **, and then, Nagumo thought about the current matter, perhaps, today should have received the order of Commander Ito, and the troops continued to advance in the direction of Myitkyina, and suddenly, he did not feel sleepy at all, so he simply got up and stood in front of the large military map, deducing the route he was going to pass.

North of Degang, on a hillside at ** kilometer, the four rocket artillery battalions directly under the corps have entered the shelling position, and the artillery commander Zheng Yong picked up the phone, "Is it the division commander?" I am Zheng Yong, the rocket artillery battalion, I am ready for the artillery bombardment, just waiting for the order of the division commander," Tang Qiuli nodded slightly, Zheng Yong gave himself a surprise, originally thought that it would be very good to have a battalion rush to the battlefield, but now, Zheng Yong unknowingly pulled up the four battalions, and this battle was much easier.

He said to Zheng Yong: "Zheng Yong, at four o'clock, start the shelling on time, can you guarantee that the first round of shelling will cover the Japanese camp?" Zheng Yong hesitated for a moment and replied: "Division commander, if you don't consider civilian targets, our four rocket artillery battalions can completely cover all targets at once," Tang Qiuli said without a trace of emotion: "All-round coverage, the first round of shelling, to kill and injure more than a quarter of the Japanese army's living forces." ”

Zheng Yong has this ability, four Thunder rocket artillery battalions, that is, 60 32-barrel rocket launchers, one salvo, is nearly 2,000 large-caliber rockets, five minutes later, a second salvo, 30 minutes of artillery fire, six rounds, but more than 10,000 rockets, this power, more than 50,000 howitzer shells.

If it weren't for the residential buildings in Degang, Zheng Yong would not have asked such a superfluous question, just where the pigsty is large, a rocket artillery battalion can wipe it off the map, "Attention of all battalions, the shelling range, Degang covers all directions, thirty minutes of firepower, and after waiting for my order, the shelling will begin," Zheng Yong finished the order and smacked his tongue secretly, "Damn, this time, I have to be a butcher!" ”

At 3:50, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Yang Ketian: "Ketian, determine the location of each brigade again," Yang Ketian picked up the phone, shook it violently, held the microphone in his hand, and said: "Division commander, all the brigades participating in the attack have arrived at the designated positions, and the commander of the tank unit asks for instructions, whether to put the follow-up tanks into the battlefield?" ”

Tang Qiuli thought about it for a moment and said: "Tell them, after the battle started, all the tanks that arrived were thrown into the assault, and we must solve this Japanese army as quickly as possible." ”

At four o'clock in the morning on June 30, Tang Qiuli looked at his watch and said to Yang Ketian: "Let's start!" Several staff officers with telephones in their hands, at the same time, shouted into the microphone: "The attack begins!" ”

In the rocket artillery position, with the order of the commander Zheng Yong, in the night before dawn, a flame suddenly rose, two thousand rockets, dragging a long tail flame, with a scream that was obviously different from ordinary shelling, cutting the rain wires, and instantly reached the target area, in Tang Qiuli's telescope, Degang immediately rose into a sea of fire.

Five minutes later, another rain of bullets flew by, and the lethality of the rocket artillery weapon against the target was undoubtedly astonishing, and the houses in Degang collapsed like toys in the midst of an earth-shattering loud noise, and the flames rose, turning the rain into wisps of white mist.

Lieutenant General Nagumo Taro, who was in the command headquarters, was full of questions about how to advance the troops after dawn, and suddenly, in the sky, there was a different scream, Nagumo raised his head suspiciously, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, if it was an artillery bombardment, with his experience, he would react immediately, but this voice was too unfamiliar.

There was a loud bang, and a few rockets fell from the house where Nagumo was resting, and the moment the flames bloomed, Nagumo's mind was full of questions, and then, this ambitious and arrogant Japanese lieutenant general, the commander of more than 70,000 horses, turned into ashes that no one could find in the heat of several thousand degrees.

Wave after wave of rockets, constantly flying to the target area, thirty minutes later, Degang fell into a sea of fire, Tang Qiuli was about to give the order for the infantry to start the assault, looking at the sea of fire, he smiled bitterly, "It's really a cocoon, I forgot it, the rocket artillery shelling area is not suitable for the area where your infantry is about to pass guò, just this sea of fire, I'm afraid I don't see the shadow of the Japanese soldiers, my own troops, first of all, will be burned more than half." ”

He had no choice but to order: "Notify the brigades, and in twenty minutes, they will attack again," in fact, without him giving an order, several brigade commanders were in the telescope, looking at the blazing Degang, and clicked their lips, Chu Ziye, the commander of the sixth brigade, put down the binoculars and said to the chief of staff: "The division commander is happy this time, but it also makes us unable to attack immediately, to say, the rocket artillery thing is a bit too powerful!" ”

Twenty minutes later, seeing the flames burning in Degang, gradually dimmed, more than 100,000 people directly under the corps, from four directions, rushed towards the town of Degang, the battle progressed very smoothly, the troops almost did not encounter resistance, they occupied a ruined Degang, the Japanese soldiers under the 30 minutes of artillery fire, almost all killed.

Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the First Brigade, looked at the battlefield full of rubble and green smoke on the ruins, grinned, and said to the chief of staff Ren Zhaoquan: "Zhaoquan, report to the division commander that the first brigade occupies the northern part of Degang and has not encountered resistance from the Japanese army, and the little devils are all dead!" ”

Then, Liu Hongzhang seemed to be unsatisfied and continued, "This is the end? Braving the heavy rain, I ran dozens of kilometers of mountain roads overnight, not a single shot was fired, the little devil didn't see any of them, this battle is over, dare to love, fight in the future, let Zheng Yong's rocket artillery go to fight, there is nothing to do with our infantry! ”

Chief of Staff Ren Zhaoquan smiled, and heard the sour taste in the brigade commander's words, for Liu Hongzhang, who was brave and good at fighting, he went to the battlefield, but he didn't get the opportunity to kill the little devil, so that his uncomfortable energy was held in his heart, and the flames were scurrying one after another, and he couldn't wait to find that person to fight.

Liu Hongzhang was carrying a submachine gun, his eyes and lips touched, trying to find a few living Japanese soldiers, even if they were wounded, the guy in his hand could also open the meat, which made him very disappointed, except for the rubble everywhere, there was nothing.

Soon, Ren Zhaoquan came back and said to Liu Hongzhang: "The division commander ordered that each brigade should take Degang as the center and search in the opposite direction, the number of Japanese tank units destroyed does not match the reality, and the division commander also emphasized that it is very likely that some Japanese troops have escaped this shelling, and remind all units to be careful when searching."

Liu Hongzhang waved his hand and said: "The fish that slipped through the net still need to mobilize the army, Zhaoquan, order the first and second regiments to carry out the search mission, and the other troops will stand by in place!" ”

Northwest of Degang, but five or six kilometers away, there is a natural canyon, densely covered with dense woods and bushes, covering the space above the canyon, if you don't look carefully, no one will find that Major General Nakazawa Jino, chief of staff of the Japanese Army's Middle Route Army, is hiding in a big cave.

Nakazawa is completely lucky, in Degang Town, Nanyun's residence, although it is the largest house in the town, can not accommodate the entire command organ, Nakazawa found another way, in this canyon, found a big cave, and, there are many caves around, so Nakazawa ordered all the 11th Division, most of the 15th Division, and the 3rd Brigade of the Tank to camp in the canyon.

Nakazawa Jinxiong's unintentional move saved the lives of more than 30,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 200 tanks of the Third Tank Brigade.

The earth-shattering explosion woke up Nakazawa suddenly, he felt that the entire cave was shaking, and the mud and sand on the top kept "falling in a hurry", he rushed to the entrance of the cave, and was stunned by the situation in front of him.

Nakazawa immediately understood that the troops stationed in Degang had been raided, and it must have been done by the Chinese army, and he immediately called Nangumo's residence, and there was a blind voice, he knew that Commander Nagumo had broken the jade for His Majesty the Emperor in this overwhelming artillery fire, and at this moment, the commanders of the 11th and 15th Divisions and the commanders of the 3rd Tank Brigade and the 3rd Brigade of the Chariot who saw the skyrocketing flames in Degang Town, more than a dozen Japanese commanders, broke in with a panicked face.

Needless to say, these high-ranking officers of the Japanese army knew what had happened, and the troop station was destroyed by the Shina army, and immediately, Nakazawa Jino took over the command of the troops, and immediately reported the news of the attack on Tokuoka and the destruction of Nagumo Commander Tamashi to Commander-in-Chief Ito, and then Nakazawa convened a short emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Before the meeting was over, a young man came in, "Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, at the entrance of the canyon, it was found that the army of China, with a strength of about one regiment, was gradually approaching, but we were not found, please advise on what to do?" ”
