Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 42 Pudong Divine Cannon (II)

In Pudong, the forward observation post set up on the site of the East Fort was also alarmed by the Japanese flares.

After the flares were lifted into the air, a salvo of 100 guns from the Japanese Navy's large-caliber naval guns followed!

Ye Ruxue, a reporter from Miller's Review Daily, who had just taken a nap on the stone, was also awakened by the loud explosion, got up and asked Sun Shengzhi in a daze: "Camp Commander Sun, what happened?" ”

"I don't know." Sun Shengzhi raised his head from behind the artillery mirror and shook his head very dryly.

Ye Ruxue rubbed her shoulder, which was a little sour, and asked, "Do you want to call Company Commander Liu?" ”

"No way!" Although the beauty is current, Sun Shengzhi categorically refused, the command post could not call the forward observation post, this is the artillery's blood in exchange for a lesson, a few days ago the observation post set up on the top of the Cathedral of Jesus was because of the sudden telephone ringing at night exposed the location, to the fruit was killed by the Japanese agents.

Sun Shengzhi was actually more anxious than anyone else, he knew better than anyone else that most of the forward observation posts set up by Liu Genshuo on the top of the fortress were discovered by the Japanese army, and most of the Japanese army's artillery bombardment was aimed at him, he was eager to talk to Liu Genshuo, and ordered Liu Genshuo to move immediately, but he did not dare to call the other side rashly.

In case Yoo Keun Suk is already ready to transfer, if a phone call passes at this time, and Yoo Keun Suk goes around and comes back to answer the phone, this moment's delay is likely to kill him.

didn't dare to call, Sun Shengzhi could only wait in the frying Ao.

Fortunately, Sun Shengzhi's wait did not last long, and the phone rang quickly.

Picking up the phone as quickly as possible, Sun Shengzhi was about to order Liu Genshuo to transfer, but Liu Genshuo on the other end of the phone roared like a cannon at a faster speed: "All artillery platoons, each artillery platoon, the wind speed is four meters, the wind direction is east-southeast, the firing angle is adjusted to the left by four scales, and the impact point extends forward by 800 meters, one test shot!" ”

Sun Shengzhi's words that came to his mouth were forced back into his stomach.

A moment later, the only four Bufusi mountain guns of the 1st Artillery Company were ready to shoot at Zhuyuan, and then a single shell took off into the air with a dazzling tracer, and flew across the wide Huangpu River to the artillery platform.

"Missed, the angle of fire is adjusted to the right by half a scale, the impact point is extended for another fifty meters, and the second test shot!" More than ten seconds later, Liu Genshuo's shouting came from the other end of the phone, and a moment later, the second test fire of the national artillery that had been fired at Zhu Yuan was re-adjusted, and another shell dragged a long tail flame across the night sky and flew to the opposite shore.

"Hit, shoot Zhu Yuan lock, ten rapid fire! Ten rounds of rapid fire! “

It was only at this time that Sun Shengzhi finally interjected the words and shouted into the microphone: "Liu Genshuo, what are you doing?" Transfer immediately, transfer to Lao Tzu immediately......"

"Battalion, I found the artillery positions of Little Japan! Little Japan's artillery is going to be finished, haha, hahaha......"

Listening to the unscrupulous daxiao sound transmitted from the microphone, Sun Shengzhi even stood up with the hairs on his back, he knew what it was like to stay on Fortress Mountain at this time, Liu Genshuo was stunned, he was playing with little Japan, he was exchanging his life for the artillery of Little Japan!

At that moment, Sun Shengzhi yelled hoarsely into the microphone again: "I order you to transfer immediately, transfer immediately, Liu Genshuo, you listen to Lao Tzu, come back alive, no matter what, you have to come back alive......"

Then there was a bang on the other end of the microphone, and Liu Genshuo's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Yoo Geun Suk? Yoo Geun Suk! Yoo Geun Suk?! Sun Shengzhi shouted several times in a row, but there was no response.

Sun Shengzhi still didn't give up, and continued to shout into the microphone, as if expecting a miracle to happen, expecting that the familiar voice would suddenly sound again, but Ye Ruxue on the side had already burst into tears.

The two observation sentries in the observation post of the East Fort also stood up silently, silently took off their steel helmets and raised them on their chests, and bowed deeply to the west bank of the Huangpu River side by side: Company commander, you go all the way, we will take over from you and continue to act as the eyes of the Pudong artillery, and the artillery fire of the Pudong artillery will still fall on the heads of the Japanese as if they have eyes.

The violent explosion turned Ohara Shigemi's eyes red, as if two fires were burning inside.

Looking at the huge mushroom cloud rising from the artillery position, Shigemi Ohara almost had the heart to kill.

I wanted to destroy the forward observation post of the national artillery on the fortress hill in one fell swoop, but I didn't want to expose the position of our own artillery, and let the forward observation post of the national army guide the artillery to make a fire attack on our own artillery.

"Eight Grids, Eight Grids." Ohara Shigemi stared at her blood-red eyes and roared repeatedly.

Captain Fujimoto next to him and more than a dozen orderlies and heralds at the headquarters of the brigade were also dumbfounded, they all couldn't accept the fact that the Chinese artillery dared to engage in an artillery battle with the imperial artillery, and the imperial artillery actually lost to the Chinese artillery, how is this possible, how is this possible?!

Taking a deep breath of salty, damp and blood-soaked air, Owara Shigemi finally suppressed the monstrous anger in his chest, the artillery squadron was destroyed by the Chinese artillery, this is irretrievable, due to the terrain, the support that the naval guns can provide is also limited, and the time limit given to him by Admiral Matsui is that the artillery must be controlled before dawn.

Looking at the watch, the hour hand pointed to the early morning of the 21st, about five hours before dawn.

The Owara Brigade first lost its tank detachment, and then lost its artillery squadron, and the naval guns could not help, and with the tenacity shown by the Chinese army during the day yesterday and in the first half of the night, it would be not ordinarily difficult for the Owara Brigade to seize the artillery platform before dawn.

Now, the only thing the Ohara Brigade can rely on is the spirit of bushido!

In a word, even if the entire special operations brigade is exhausted, it will definitely seize the artillery Taiwan and clear the way for the large-scale landing of the 3rd Division and even the Shanghai Dispatch Army, when Ohara Shigemi turned his head and ordered the deputy captain Captain Fujimoto: "Fujimoto-kun, order the Maehara-kun squadron to withdraw to the base, and then let Maehara-kun, Murayama-kun, Noguchi-kun, and Takeda-kun come to my headquarters!" ”

"Hello!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly bowed his head and hurried over to make a phone call.

##########

The seal and the old man carried down a bloody man from the fortress mountain, and the remnants of the 61st Division knew that it was this "bloody man" who had just guided the Pudong artillery to destroy the Japanese artillery position!

The Wusong security team is considered to be disabled, and two of the two hundred or so people survived.

Immediately, two remnants of soldiers came out of the crowd and helped carry the stretcher together.

The bloody stretcher was carried from the trench, and the remnants of the 100 or so soldiers got up one after another, took off the military caps or steel helmets on their heads and bowed to the bloody people on the stretcher in silence, which was the most noble salute in the army, and at the same time, it was also a farewell to the zuihou of the war dead.

"Wait!" When the stretcher passed in front of Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu stopped him.

With the help of the scattered lights on the Japanese position on the opposite side, Xu Shijiu seemed to see the bloody man on the stretcher move, and he faintly heard a very faint voice in his ears!

This artilleryman on the stretcher turned out to be not dead, what was he talking about?

Xu Jiu rushed to the stretcher two steps forward, and pressed his ear to the bloody man's mouth again, this time he finally heard clearly, this dying artilleryman repeatedly recited a word in his mouth, the flag language! Semaphore! At the same time, the artilleryman's fingers moved slightly, and the index finger of his right hand, which could no longer be straightened, was faintly pointed at his chest.

Following the direction of the artilleryman's finger, Xu Shijiu felt out two colored flags from his chest.

Xu 19 easily figured out what he meant, he was reminding himself that he would send someone to Fortress Hill to play the flag and guide the Pudong artillery to continue shelling the Japanese army!

The tears in Xu Jiu's eyes came down, Chinese artillery, this is Chinese artillery, until the moment before the battle was killed, what they were thinking about was still how to kill the enemy!

Brother artilleryman, if you don't abandon me, I won't abandon you!

With tears in his eyes, Xu Shijiu said to the seal: "Captain Hai, please send him back to Wusong Town no matter what, and ask the military doctor in Wusong Town to save this artillery brother no matter what!" ”

The seal turned its head to look at Xu Shijiu, a little unable to believe his ears.

As a bandit who pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers and robbed his house for many years, the seal claimed to be a person who was not afraid of death, but today, he was continuously shocked by the brothers of the Central Army.

The artillery of the Central Army lying on a stretcher is also a good example, in order to destroy the artillery of Little Japan, he is willing to put his life into it!

But after all, it was a soldier, and it was Xu Shijiu, the "official", who really "surprised" the seal!

The seal knew very well what the situation had reached in Fortress Mountain, maybe the next assault of the Japanese army would be able to break through the defense line of the national army, but the reinforcements did not know when they would arrive, at this time, Xu Shijiu ordered him to escort the stretcher to Wusong Town, which was giving him the chance to live, but leaving death to himself!

"Captain Xu, I'm ......" The seal opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Also, help us give a message to the old folks in Guangdong." ”

The seal was at a loss, but Xu Shijiu had already turned around and walked towards the remnants of the 61st Division who were standing in line.

patted the remnant soldier on the shoulder, and helped the remnant soldier to straighten his clothes, until he took more than a dozen steps, Xu 19 suddenly turned around, smiled brightly at the seal, and said: "Captain Hai, please tell the fathers and villagers in Guangdong that our 19th Route Army is not a rebel, we ...... He is also a soldier of the Chinese people! ”

The Nineteenth Route Army? Nineteenth Route Army?! The eyes of the remnants lit up in an instant.

The four words of the Nineteenth Route Army seem to have some kind of magic, which makes the remnants of the soldiers who were originally a little depressed suddenly become energetic, once upon a time, they were proud of these four words, but later, these four words have become some kind of taboo, everyone buried it in their hearts, but they never dared to mention it to others.

But today, now, when Xu Shijiu said these four words again, the remnants of the soldiers suddenly realized that they had never forgotten that they were once soldiers of the 19th Route Army.
