Chapter 54: Victory over Rock Mountain

When the order was conveyed to Shi Xiaowu, he was a little nervous. Although he has been on the battlefield several times, but this time he knows very well that the beam he provoked is the key to the victory or defeat of the whole army, if he can't complete the task according to the predetermined goal, maybe the whole army's combat will be affected, and even the entire battle situation will change from active to passive.

Shi Xiaowu held the shotgun in his hand, his eyes staring at the Japanese position in front of him, it was still calm here, only occasionally some snipers from both sides competed in marksmanship. But tomorrow, it will be a scene of war.

"Battalion commander, there are about 1,000 people in the small Japan on the other side, more than 30 light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, equipped with the same semi-automatic rifles as us, and there are also grenades and unconscionable guns."

The first company commander told Shi Xiaowu about the investigation situation, and Shi Xiaowu hummed softly, and there was no interface. According to the company commander's report and the layout of the enemy's position that he saw in front of him, he had already figured out in his head a general distribution of the Japanese army's firepower, how many people in which trench, and how the firepower was deployed, and he had drawn a certain judgment based on his own experience.

Slowly, a diagram of an attack appeared in his mind. Only then did Shi Xiaowu retract his head into the trench and squat, and said to the surrounding company commanders: "The firepower of the Japanese army should be concentrated in the second line of defense, and the first line of defense is of a vigilant nature. Maybe they will also do something unfavorable to us in the first line of defense, everyone should be careful when attacking tomorrow, try to pass through the first line of the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and see that village behind? If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow will be a major battleground! ”

A few company commanders followed his fingers and looked ahead, the village was next to the road they had to take to attack the county seat, and if the volunteers were to guard the county seat, they would also be able to do enough in that village.

The first company commander said: "Battalion commander. Let me hit that village tomorrow! ”

Shi Xiaowu nodded: "Tell the regiment commander that I want artillery support, and I will shoot at least a hundred shells into it!" ”

The location of the village is really important, which can be seen not only by Shi Xiaowu, but also by the Japanese. But because of this, the target of the village seemed a little too obvious, and the Japanese also estimated that the volunteers would definitely attack with heavy artillery fire first, in order to avoid unnecessary damage to the Imperial Japanese army. Of course, the little Japanese have to put some cannon fodder here.

Defending Shi Xiaowu were two Japanese brigades. There are also more than 400 people in a battalion of the Great East Asian Army. The Japanese placed nearly half of the battalion inside the village, while Japanese troops were scattered around the village.

Little Japan thought very well, once the fight started, let the Great East Asian Army lay shells here, and when the Volunteer Army's shelling was over and began to charge, the Japanese troops on both flanks would immediately enter the village. This minimizes the need for casualties.

Not only this position, but also some other positions that seem to be vulnerable to the artillery fire of the Volunteers, Naokami Matsubara, are also placed in the Great East Asian Army.

Decisive battle. It's about to start. This was well known to Matsubara, who had received a telegram that the Japanese army that had been killed from Dandong was now only two hundred kilometers away from him. It would take five or six days to speed up the march, so Yang Fighting Ghost's attack might be in these two days.

Yang fights ghosts and doesn't play the set of encirclement and reinforcements. Although the volunteers now seem to be more than 100,000 people, most of them are newly organized militias and those Qing troops who have just surrendered, and Yang Xiaolin's descendants are only more than 30,000 people.

If Yang Xiaolin dares to play around the point with this liliang to send reinforcements, he will dare to kill Songyuan directly. The final result may be that Yang Xiaolin can't be contained. Aid can't be knocked out. As soon as the battle situation of the Volunteers changed, the newly reorganized ranks could easily disperse. …,

So Naokami Matsubara is sure that Yang Xiaolin should eat him at all costs. Can Yang fight ghosts?

Five days, as long as he persists for five days, Yang Xiaolin will be finished.

"Report!"

A Japanese staff officer appeared at the door when Naokami Matsubara was thinking about the current battlefield situation: "Report to the commander, the military department has called, the supplies on the mainland have been prepared, the military department has appointed Lieutenant General Hisunao Oshima as the commander, and the reinforcements will be able to depart from the mainland immediately, and it is expected to arrive in Lushun in half a month." ”

Naokami Matsubara stood up suddenly, his face full of smiles: "Lieutenant General Oshima? ”

The staff officer replied: "Yes, the military headquarters ordered you to hold out for ten days no matter what. ”

Naogami Matsubara's face smiled, this time the person who came was actually Lieutenant General Hisashi Oshima, and Naogami Matsubara was very happy. I think that when he was still a captain, he served as a soldier under Hisashi Oshima, and later when he came to China, he also reported his work directly to Hisunao Oshima.

In terms of personal feelings, he and Hisunao Oshima are very good, and they belong to the kind of relationship that is half teacher and half friend. Now he is also a commander, and the layout of this war is completely arranged by Naogami Matsubara, although it was disrupted by Yang Xiaolin's surprise attack on North Korea, but if the battle is won, he will still be indispensable.

Naokami Matsubara really didn't believe that Yang Xiaolin could kill him in just a few days, because he knew the Volunteers very well, and the weapons and equipment of the two sides were not much different. Even though Yang Xiaolin has become more and more dominant in numbers, the Japanese army is on the defensive side, which in itself is a very favorable condition.

North Korea's troops have already entered Liaodong, and if local reinforcements come again, Yang Xiaolin will have no chance. Of course, at that time, Lao Maozi would also send troops, and they would not watch the Japanese kill Yang Xiaolin and occupy the entire Liaodong.

"Call back to the military headquarters and say that we will hold out until reinforcements arrive, and I look forward to fighting again under the command of Lieutenant General Oshima."

Naokami Matsubara's face was very proud, although he said it politely, but the soldiers knew that it was an honor for his former generals to fight side by side. Now Hisunao Oshima is the commander of the lieutenant general, and so is he Naokami Matsubara.

"Hayi!"

Another Japanese soldier ran to the door: "Report to the commander, the enemy's ranks have begun to move, and they are expected to attack us immediately." ”

Naokami Matsubara did not panic in the slightest: "According to the instructions issued before the battle, each unit strictly guards its own defense line, and without an order, it is not allowed to retreat." ”

"Hayi!"

The soldier went down to give the order, and went straight to Matsubara with a smile on his face and walked up to his battle map, looking at the attack lines of the volunteers outlined by the blue lines above, and a contemptuous smile drifted into the corners of his mouth.

Yang fights ghosts? He really surprised himself very much, but now that his reinforcements are coming, when more than 200,000 Japanese imperial troops gather on the battlefield in Liaodong, Yang Dagui will take care of one or the other, and he will find that Fa is still so vulnerable!

It's only three or five days, even if he kills Naogami Songyuan, he doesn't believe that Yang Xiaolin can take down Yanshan County within three or five days.

Naokami Matsubara didn't know that the gap between the Volunteers and the Japanese army was not in weaponry, but in training mode and combat concept. Yang Xiaolin is just an ordinary People's Liberation Army, but he has been working hard to build the Volunteer Army into a team that has always had the quality of the World War II army.

He let those bandits learn culture, he asked Cai Songpo to run a military academy, he also held regular martial arts competitions to mobilize the enthusiasm of the troops, and after every battle, he also asked the soldiers to sum up their own experience and lessons.

All of this made the quality of the volunteers themselves a little higher than that of the Japanese army. It's still the same sentence, the same equipment, the same number of people, a World War II unit, can hold down the current Japanese army and beat it! …,

One of Shi Xiaowu's battalions is Yang Xiaolin's most fierce fist in Songyuan this time!

The battle began at nine o'clock the next morning, and the first, of course, was an artillery battle. The artillery fire of the volunteers is very fierce, the Fengtian arsenal is producing at full capacity these days, and the same is true of Yang Xiaolin's arsenal that can produce artillery shells, and the artillery shells of the volunteers are very sufficient in just two days of rest.

The reason for Naogamimatsu was to fight away, and the supplies inevitably couldn't keep up, and the Japanese artillery first started to counterattack, and then there was no sound at all. Hordes of shells flew from the muzzles of the volunteers' cannons to the Japanese positions, and the huge explosion shook the front line of the volunteers who were preparing to attack.

The Japanese position was a field of flying sand and rocks, and smoke and dust were rising to the sky.

This is somewhat bullying, but Yang Xiaolin likes this feeling. On the battlefield, if you can bully people, you can bully people, there is nothing polite to be polite. In the past, others bullied him with cannons, and this finally caught an opportunity for him to bully others, Commander Yang had a look of a poor man who had never seen money, he had already given an order, the shelling was timeless, and the barrel of the cannon was red if there was no cannon, and the shells were all gone!

This order made Naogami Matsubara miserable. The Westerners shelled for an hour at most, and for more than two hours to hit a more powerful one, and after destroying the necessary targets, they stopped fighting. But Yang Xiaolin was different, the shell had no specific target at all after it arrived, it was to fly over the heads of the Japanese, and Yang Beat the ghost seemed to be just to shoot the shell out, not to destroy anything at all.

The shelling lasted for four hours, from 9 o'clock in the morning to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and within four hours, Yang Xiaolin's artillery team took turns firing, and a total of 20,000 shells were fired! This amount, even if it is placed on the battlefield in Europe, is enough to cause shock.

Thank you Zaitao, thank you for your hard work over the years.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the various fronts of the Volunteers launched an assault, and the first line of defense of Little Japan was basically broken through without much effort, and some of the Japanese were killed by the rushing Volunteers before they could crawl out from under the broken tiles that had been blown down by medical bombs.
