Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu 8 Chapter 48 The Center Blossoms

The entire artillery group that cooperated with the 16th Division was under the unified command of the brigade commander of the 16th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, Hirata Kenkichi, and this old devil set up his headquarters in Xiaozhuzhuang.

The artillery of Little Japan is not like **, there is no special infantry responsible for protection, in fact, it is not necessary, because the artillery of Little Japan generally follows the division headquarters to act in unison, but this time the division headquarters of the 16th Division of Little Japan is not in Xiaozhuzhuang, but in Zhaozhuang, which is closer to Dangshan, there are seven or eight miles away from Xiaozhuzhuang.

But even if it is not with the division headquarters, there is no special infantry to protect, and the artillery gathered near Xiaozhuzhuang is not short of garrison, because each artillery wing is equipped with more than 500 guns of various kinds, and the four artillery wings together have more than 2,000 combatants, unless they are besieged by more than two divisions, they are safe.

Hirata Kenyoshi came back from the summary meeting of the division and regiment headquarters, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, tonight's summary meeting Hirata Kenyoshi ate and hung up, because the artillery group did not perform well in the battle during the day, he also had nothing to say, after eating supper, the old devil fell asleep wrapped in a military blanket, and the night of Mayday in eastern Henan was still a little cool, and it was unbearable not to wrap in a military blanket.

I don't know how long I slept in a daze, Hirata Kenyoshi was suddenly awakened by a fierce gunshot, the old devil turned over from the bed and sat up, and before he could put on his clothes, he first picked up the saber from the head of the bed, and in a moment his orderly Yamada Kojiro rushed in from the outside with a embarrassed expression, and even had time to put on the shoes under his feet.

"Yamada-san, what's wrong?" Kenyoshi Hirata asked loudly, "Where to shoot?" ”

"Brigade commander, Zhi Na soldiers, there are many soldiers in the village," Yamada replied in a panic, "We need to get out of here quickly." ”

"Baga, the garrison has built three lines of defense on the periphery, and there are patrols that are constantly patrolling, how can the soldiers rush into the village?" Hirata Kenkichi obviously didn't believe it, and said angrily, "What the hell is going on? ”

"Brigade commander, it's really a soldier," Yamada said miserably, "I don't know where it came from." ”

Hirata Kenyoshi hurriedly put on his military uniform, and when he rushed out of the headquarters under the protection of Yamada and a few guards, the gunfire in the village had already sounded, Hirata Kenyoshi had been in the army for many years, and his experience was also very rich.

"Baga Yalu, how did the soldiers rush into the village?" Hirata Kenyoshi was puzzled, but the situation didn't allow him to think about it anymore, so he could only hurriedly retreat outside the village under the protection of Yamada and a few guards.

Xu 19 led his troops straight into the village from the tunnel, and defeated the Japanese soldiers in the village with only one assault.

In the village, only Hirata Kenyoshi's brigade headquarters was stationed, and except for a dozen artillery staff officers and guards equipped with Wangba boxes or 38-type rifles, the rest of the communication troops and service soldiers had no weapons, and the time was already late at night, and the vast majority of Japanese soldiers had already fallen asleep, so they could not organize effective resistance at all.

"The first platoon goes east, the second platoon goes west, the third platoon goes north, the guard platoon follows me to the south, don't fall in love with the little Japan, our target is the cannon of the little Japan, let Lao Tzu hear clearly, blow up as many cannons as possible" Xu Nineteen shouted, and more than three hundred veterans suddenly split into four and swooped in four directions.

When he was about to leave the village, Xu Shijiu faintly saw a group of small Japanese fleeing in a hurry towards the southwest, but he didn't pay attention to it, his attention was all focused on the artillery position not far ahead, and now he was thinking about the small Japanese artillery, but he didn't know that he had just let go of a major general brigade commander of the little Japanese.

The Japanese camps around Xiaozhuzhuang fell into a chaotic battle in an instant.

Little Japan never expected that ** would emerge from the ground, and give them a central flowering from the inside, all the fortifications were set up outward, and as a result, they were caught off guard, many Japanese soldiers just woke up from their sleep, and the dense bullets had already penetrated the tent and shot them into a blood gourd.

Xu 19 carried the flower mechanism, and fired violently while striding forward, the black blind man was afraid that Xu 19 would make a mistake, so he hurriedly used his huge body to block the front, and more than a dozen veterans of the guard platoon lined up, and more than a dozen flower organs fired violently at the same time, and the hot bullets suddenly leaked like water, and many Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they could react.

The one magazine attached to the gun and the four magazines he carried with him were quickly exhausted, and Xu Jiujiu didn't care about the equipment that he had spent a lot of money to get from Feng Shengfa, and directly threw the flower mechanism as a hidden weapon at a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier just rushed out of the tent and was smashed by Xu Jiu all over the face.

The black blind man took a step forward, and smashed the throat bone of the little Japanese with one palm, and the little Japanese pair suddenly protruded, and the bottom of the throat hissed, and he collapsed, and the black blind man untied two grenades from his waist, and then tore off the fuse and then still entered the tent in front of him, with a loud bang, the whole tent collapsed in an instant.

Don't look at the face of the black blind man, but it was against his comrades-in-arms, and he was more ruthless than anyone else to Little Japan.

"Kuroko, don't worry about these little Japan, bomb the cannon, go and blow up the cannon" Xu Shijiu hissed angrily, and wiped the throat of the Japanese soldier who rushed behind him with a backhand bayonet, but the other Japanese soldier grabbed this gap, and one swooped over and hugged Xu Shijiu's waist and pushed Xu Shijiu to the ground.

"Leave me alone." Xu Shijiu wrestled with the Japanese soldiers and yelled at the black blind man.

The black blind man hesitated, Zuihou untied four grenades from his waist and tied them into a bundle with a rope, and then rushed towards a black cannon more than a dozen steps away, and the two Japanese soldiers silently rushed over to try to stop the black blind man, the black blind man accelerated forward, and with a heavy shoulder, the two Japanese soldiers flew straight upside down.

A Japanese second lieutenant rushed out of a tent, holding a saber to block the path of the black blind man.

The black blind man kicked a Japanese soldier lying on the ground and wailed, and smashed it at the officer like a hidden weapon, and while the officer was in a hurry, the black blind man rushed straight past him, and finally rushed to the side of the cannon, and then without hesitation, he tore off the fire and stuffed the bundle of grenades under the cannon's base

The four Japanese soldiers were just about to rush over, and when they saw this scene, they quickly turned over and fell to the ground.

The black blind man ran back a few steps, and fell to the ground in his heart, and the next moment, there was an earth-shattering loud noise behind him, and a huge wave of qi swept along with the flames, almost scorching his military uniform and hair, and then a large amount of hot sand fell from the sky, scalding the black blind man's teeth.

"Kuroko, Kuroko......" Without waiting for the black blind man to take a breath, Xu Shijiu's angry roar faintly came from his ears, "There's still a cannon over there, there's still there, go quickly"

The black blind man endured the smoke and dizziness and turned over and got up, reached out and touched the armed belt around his waist but felt empty, the eight grenades he carried with him had been used up, and he immediately shouted: "Captain, I have no grenades." After shouting, he turned his head and yelled around, "Grenades, who the fuck still has grenades?"

"Captain, I'll go" An old soldier rushed over with a bundle of grenades, but the veteran's physique was obviously not as strong as the black blind man, and he was soon surrounded by six Japanese soldiers, and after killing two Japanese soldiers with a bayonet, the veteran was finally stabbed in the lower abdomen by a Japanese soldier Cao Chang, and he was obviously not alive.

But the veteran was worthy of being a soldier of the 19th Brigade, and he was ruthless, and he shouted "Little Japan, my grandmother" and pulled the fire, and a bundle of four grenades exploded suddenly, shattering the four Japanese soldiers around him at once, and the huge wave of air also knocked a nearby horse to the ground.

Seeing the old soldier die, the black blind man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't have a way to grit his teeth, although the Japanese artillery positions were concentrated together, but the interval between each two guns was still very large, and the distance of tens of meters was nothing in peacetime, but at this juncture it was enough to kill and become an insurmountable moat for these veterans.

Xu Shijiu saw that it was absolutely impossible to go on like this, even if he took more than 300 veterans, he might not be able to blow up a few cannons, and immediately yelled at the black blind man: "Heizi, gather your manpower and go to blow up the ammunition depot of Little Japan, see that there is no ammunition depot over there, blow it up for Lao Tzu, blow it up, blow it up, blow it up......"

If you really can't blow up the artillery of the little Japanese, then it's okay to just blow up their ammunition depots.

In the final analysis, little Japan is also a resource-poor country, their ammunition reserves cannot be too rich, destroy a batch, and little Japan wants to replenish from the rear, but it is not so easy and fast, but as long as the 74th Army survives tomorrow, as long as it survives tomorrow, Li Hanzhi's army should rush to Dangshan.
