Chapter Fifty-Eight: Artillery Attack

Almost at the same time as Ge Zengfu and Zhang Wa met, a devil discovered the situation behind him.

Yoshikawa Nagasheng leaned on the carriage, swaying to the rhythm of the vehicle, his eyelids heavy as if he had a lump of lead. After being tossed for several hours in a row, and then experiencing a "vicious battle", and being bumped for an hour or so, Yoshikawa Nagasheng felt as if his whole person was falling apart - too tired, it was good to sleep for a while, and everyone else seemed to be asleep - he thought so, changed his sitting position, his butt was facing the direction of the cab, he looked up and yawned, and was about to sleep on the back of his comrade for a while, when he suddenly saw a few lights flashing in the distance, and he said to himself: "Is it Yujiichiro and them?" I couldn't help but look at it, this look was amazing, just a blink of an eye, those few lights suddenly turned into a string, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He kicked Tomimura Katsu, who was sitting opposite, and the latter opened his eyes and cursed, "Eight Ge, what are you doing Changsheng?" ”

"Look! What is that? Could it be enemy troops? ”

Tomimura Katsu looked in the direction of his finger, first stunned, and then said casually: "It's the Yuzhi team, what's the fuss." Suddenly he realized something, looked closely, and then jumped up and shouted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Zuo Ren Jun Cao, the enemy is attacking, and the enemy is catching up! ”

"What?"

"What's going on?!"

…… Tomimura's shouts were really loud, not only woke up all the devils in this car, but even the devils in the truck in front of him were alarmed.

Zuo Ren Huang Er was the only officer in the compartment of this truck, and he immediately banged on the cab vigorously and shouted: "Captain Frame Ze, there is an enemy situation, please report to Lu Shang quickly!" ”

The devils in this car are all subordinate to the frame Ze team, and the left guard of the frame ze poked his head out of the window and looked at the back, and immediately screamed: "Front, hurry up and inform Your Excellency the detachment leader, there may be a person who has caught up - enemy attack, enemy attack!" Koizumi, stop quickly. Get out of the car and get ready for battle! ”

"Get out of the car, get ready to beat that pig!"

The three trucks behind the most Lu stopped, and more than 60 devils jumped out of the trucks and quickly prepared for battle based on the last truck. The commander of the left guard of the frame Ze was determined, and arranged two light machine guns in the truck bed in which he was riding, and asked the grenadiers to set up the grenadiers, preparing to sacrifice themselves to win time for the large army to prepare for battle.

At this time, the Japanese army did not have walkie-talkies as advanced communication tools, and whenever there was an order, it needed to be conveyed by the herald. There are nearly 100 trucks in total, stretching for more than a kilometer. As the supreme commander, the armored car in which he rode drove in the middle of the convoy. By the time the enemy finally reached his ears, nearly ten minutes had passed.

After a long-distance relay transmission, Frame Ze's original words have been amplified and exaggerated, and they have become: The people of China have outflanked them, the enemy has tens of thousands of people, and we are surrounded.

The little devils in Zhou Yuan shouted loudly, seriously confusing the public. Pull Ben Shun ordered the car to stop, opened the door and poked his head out to ask what was going on, when suddenly a few meteors flew in the southwest sky, and those meteors became brighter and brighter, and the next moment the vicinity of Pull Benshun was illuminated brightly - Pull Benshun turned his head to look at it and shouted in shock: "It's a flare!" Not good! Only then did he shout these words, and the sky in the southwest direction suddenly turned red like a fire, followed by nearly 100 fireballs smashed over - at 11:15, the artillery regiment and the tank regiment of the 1st Division opened fire almost at the same time, nearly 100 artillery pieces of all kinds were fired at the same time, and nearly 100 shells of all kinds tore through the night sky, smashing into the devil's convoy with dazzling flames.

The cannonball flew out of the muzzle, and the sound of ** reached the ears of Benshun, and his face suddenly became snow-white, and then instinctively shouted: "Get off, get out of the car, lie down......"

"Boom!" The distance was so close that before he could finish his words, the cannonballs were already whizzing down. In the flickering fires, the flames ignited, the smoke rose, and in the earth-shattering explosions, one truck after another was directly hit, and the devils on it who didn't have time to jump down were torn to pieces by the explosion - iron plates, wheels, steering wheels, severed hands, broken feet, even skulls, internal organs, ...... These truck parts and human parts were lifted up by the air and flew into the air, giving a rich visual feast to the devils who were not covered by artillery fire.

He watched all this blankly, his heart contracted involuntarily, and then he was dizzy, and his feet fell straight back.

Komatsu Toshiyi was fortunate enough to sit in the same car with him, and when he saw this, he quickly supported him and shouted worriedly: "Your Excellency?!" ”

He gasped heavily, and suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Quick, order everyone to get out of the car." Catch up, only when we meet up can we live! Send electricity to Linyi City, and let Aoki Daisa support immediately. Also, to generate electricity for Qingdao, we need aviation support! Our enemy is the Cadet Army, they have tanks! ”

"Hello, Your Excellency, you are in the car to restβ€”"

"No, get out of the car, you can't stay on the road, staying on the road will only become a target......"

"Boom!" After three rounds of shelling, the area covered by artillery fire began to shift, and a shell exploded more than ten meters away from Lu Benshun and others, and the air struck, pushing them to the ground in one fell swoop. With a "bang", the helminer, who was not wearing a helmet, hit his head on the iron door of the armored car and immediately fainted.

At the beginning of the shelling, the two pure infantry brigades of the 1st Xue Division had already dismounted and lined up in platoons in accordance with Guo Da's order. The soldiers of the cadet corps, dressed in camouflage, dispersed into the field, and when they reached their designated position, they lay on the ground and waited for the trumpet to blow.

As soon as the cannon sounded, Huang Haifu, the deputy division of the Jiang Banjun Army, and the chief of staff Guo Muyi each led the officers and men of a mountain division to rush out of the road, and one to the left and the other to the right began to look for other roads leading to Linyi.

This battle was made ready-made by the first division, and it was destined to be a one-sided battle, Huang Haifu and Guo Muyi didn't say anything, Jiang Banjun and other people of the Thirteenth Taibao had big opinions, and scolded Guo Dahan one by one.

As a result of the discussion between Guo Da and Huang Haifu, he originally hoped that the mountain division would cooperate with the first division to fight for the annihilation of this group of devils. When Huang Haifu and everyone were angry, they were unanimously opposed by everyone except Guo Muyi. They all thought in unison that instead of following the first division to pick up the water, it was better to bypass and attack Linyi directly. Jiang Banjun was known as "Little Zhuge " when he was in Bawang Mountain, and he had the most ghost ideas. He analyzed: "There are only more than 2,000 devils in this force, and they have no heavy firepower. If the 1st Division has mental arithmetic or not, and the artillery performs well, maybe a few rounds of shelling will be completely wiped out. Even if the artillery can't do a good job, it will inevitably be able to inflict heavy damage. Then the tanks rushed, and the two infantry brigades chased after them, hmph, when it was our turn, I was afraid that there would be only those who were lying on the ground half-dead. Instead of acting as a battlefield discipline enforcement team of the First Division, it is better to bypass it directly. It is only 20 kilometers away from Linyi, which is a wheat field, and it is estimated that it will take 40 minutes. Hehe, at that time, the first division of the school must not have been able to solve the battle, and the little devils in Linyi City naturally would not have thought that we could arrive so quickly. That way, we'll be able to catch him off guard. This has another advantage, if the Japanese army in Linyi City wants to rescue this devil, we can still ambush him. Chief of Staff, you come to comment, do I have this idea? ”

When he was still the king of Bawang Mountain, Jiang Banjun was the military advisor of the cottage and was known for his resourcefulness. It is said that the post of chief of staff of the mountain division should be held by him, but he is willing to condescend to Guo Muyi and serve as the deputy division commander, which shows that in his mind, he admires Guo Muyi's strategy very much. So after he finished saying his opinion, he didn't ask anyone else, but only asked Guo Muyi's opinion.

Guo Muyi gave him an affirmative answer without thinking about it, and then said to Huang Haifu: "Master, Deputy Division Commander Jiang's strategy is very clever, and it is secondary to take the enemy of Linyi by surprise, and there are two more important significances. First, it can block the escape of this Japanese army, if the Japanese army in Linyi dares to come to the rescue, maybe they can still hit him in an ambush; Another point - don't you think the presence of this Japanese army here is too sudden? I think there must be deception in it, if this is a trick used by devils, then this Japanese army should be a bait, if this is the case, our move will play a role in guarding the periphery of the first division. ”

Huang Haifu was already quite a general before he was co-opted, and after being co-opted, he studied in the military academy for a period of time, and he was reborn in terms of personal charm and military strategy. Ouyang Yun also saw this, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. After thinking about it, he felt that Guo Muyi's analysis was very thorough, nodded and said, "Then it's decided." Lao Guo, I will hand over the tank regiment and the troops directly under the division to you, and Lao San and Hailu will follow you with the Eagle Cliff Brigade, and you will take the right road. I took the Overlord Brigade to the left. We are now taking the initiative to attack, and the enemy situation in front is unknown, so remember, the reconnaissance troops are a little ahead, and they would rather slow down a little more than be too Meng Lang and fall for the tricks of the little devils. The third child, Hailu, you two are not allowed to act rashly, everything is up to the chief of staff. Lao Guo, we keep in touch at any time and notify you immediately if there is a situation. ”

"Yes!"

When the tanks and artillery units of the 1st Division were in full swing and the ground was shaking, the array of the Mountain Division split into two parts, rumbled away from the road, and drove into the dark fields almost at right angles. At the same time, the devils who had been bombarded by intensive artillery fire began to appear chaotic, and many devils ignored the fear of the dark and unknown, and jumped around like headless flies, and then under the light of the light of the flares, they became the live targets of the snipers of the First Division, and were led into the hell of sinking by one after another Wei Qing bullets.
