Speaking of Zhang Rentian's 11th Brigade, there are three regiments and one battalion of troops. However, because the artillery regiment had been bombed by Japanese bombers two days earlier, only about 2,400 people could actually be put into the battlefield. In the previous sniper battle, the 204th Regiment under his command had been defeated, and now the reason why it can still maintain the defense line is thanks to the help of three self-defense brigades.

When Ni Chunsheng took the initiative to contact Zhang Rentian with the help of Du Linzi, the latter was organizing the retreat of the townspeople of Wucun Town. Just after the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, seeing that it was the Spring Festival, but they were asked to leave their homes, many townspeople in Wucun Town could not understand the good intentions of the cadet soldiers, which led to the slow progress of the retreat operation, which also increased the combat difficulty of the front-line sniper troops.

Zhang Rentian and Du Linzi knew each other very well, and when they heard that it was him, they thought that he had led the 15th Brigade to help. It wasn't until Du Linzi introduced Ni Chunsheng that he understood what was going on. Zhang Rentian did not have much impression of the special artillery unit, but he was deeply impressed by the "Wanfu-type" rocket artillery, the predecessor of the "Thunderbolt Fire." Hearing that Ni Chunsheng came to reinforce with a brigade of rocket artillery, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and said: "Brigade Commander Ni, you can set up artillery positions, at most half an hour, I can take people down!" ”

Ni Chunsheng contacted Zhang Rentian and had only two questions to be concerned about: one was whether the 11 th Brigade could withstand the Japanese attack and buy them enough time to play, and the second was whether the Japanese army's strength and attack density were worth using rocket artillery.

The first problem is easy to explain, rocket artillery is more troublesome, a salvo only takes a few seconds, but it takes three or four minutes to load, and it requires the cooperation of many people. If Zhang Rentian's department can't stop the devil from breaking through by him, then the 1st Special Artillery Brigade may have to fall into such a dilemma, and he can only run away with a single shot.

The second problem is related to the cost of using rocket artillery. The cost of a rocket is more than 15 times that of an ordinary 150-millimeter artillery shell, and it is already a strategic weapon. Moreover, since the Battle of Nanjing, the "Thunderbolt Fire" has been hidden as a secret weapon. This determines that it is impossible for the "Thunderbolt" to come out of the mountain again and be used in a small offensive and defensive battle. "If the 'Thunderbolt Fire' does not come out, it will be able to control the enemy and affect the outcome of a battle" -- this is Ouyang Yun's expectation that the "Thunderbolt" will be added to the combat sequence, that is, the so-called "use me in the first battle, use me to win" before training every day before the trainees of the special artillery brigade and the special operations section.

At about half past four, Du Linzi sent a liaison force to meet the evacuated villagers in Wucun Town. After another ten minutes, Zhang Rentian called Du Linzi on a walkie-talkie and asked him to ask the 1st Special Artillery Brigade to prepare for battle: "...... The devil is powerful. According to the reports of the Self-Defense Forces and my observations, the size should be about one division...... At the top of the list are mixed units of combat vehicles and infantry...... The reconnaissance company of our brigade is still lurking on the front line of Wucun, I asked the company commander Qiao Xianglong to contact you, the code name is Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year! ”

At 4:53, the restless Du Linzi heard a call from the Mai Li: "Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve, I am the New Year!" Hear it, please answer! ”

Du Linzi dragged Ni Chunsheng over, and then picked up the microphone and replied: "Received on Chinese New Year's Eve, what's the situation?!" ”

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the devils have entered the town, repeat, most of the devils have - snap!" Before the words of "New Year" were finished, they were interrupted by the sudden sound of gunshots.

Du Linzi exhaled heavily and said to Ni Chunsheng: "Let's fight!" ”

Ni Chunsheng nodded.

At the east end of Wucun Town, in front of a street fortification built by the 11th Brigade, Naoji Sakai looked at the corpses of the defenders on both sides of the bombed-out fortifications, and said to Obaov beside him: "It seems that we are right to open up the Wucun front, you look at the clothes of these defenders, they should be local guerrillas." ”

Obaov nodded, picked up a 38 cover from the ground, and skillfully fiddled with it twice, saying: "The student army is really wealthy, and the guerrillas actually use 38-style rifles. ”

The Type 38 rifle was once the pride of the Japanese army, but now, with the increase in understanding of the Cadet Army (mainly because of the loss of battles), the front-line officers such as Naoji Sakai have realized the gap between the 38 Dagai and the Weiqing assault rifle. Naoji Sakai frowned slightly and said, "It won't be long before we will use automatic rifles as well." The 38 big cover has completed his historical mission! ”

"Your Excellency, do you also think that the 38 Dagai is not as good as the Wei Qing-style assault rifle of the Zhina?" Aubaov asked in a whisper.

Sakai Naoji glanced at him and said, "Oku-ho-kun, to be honest, I look down on the Shina people, but I can't deny everything about them because of this. The Weiqing assault rifle is indeed better than the performance of the 38 big cover! As an Imperial soldier, I don't think there's any shame in admitting your inadequacy – what's that? ”

Sakai Naoji said, his eyes fell on the cedar tree shed where a fierce exchange of fire was taking place, and suddenly, he noticed that the western sky was flashing red, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Obaov followed the prestige, and then, as if bitten by a poisonous snake, exclaimed: "Shelling! ”

In the previous artillery battle, the sharpness of the artillery of the Cadet Corps left a deep impression on Opov. Impressed by the sight of the sky flashing red, he immediately made the most correct judgment.

Sakai Naoji also came to his senses, his mouth opened and he was about to shout something to show his identity as the commander-in-chief, when he saw hundreds of fireballs coming overwhelmingly, and a sentence was in his mouth, and he forgot to spit it out because of fear.

Fifty-four "thunderbolts" fired a salvo, and in the midst of the "aggressive" sound, 864 rockets all took off into the air in a few seconds. A series of rockets dragged orange tail flames and smashed into Wucun Town, turning the sky red everywhere they passed.

Du Linzi didn't say it, the first time he saw this kind of scene, his heart was shocked - his mouth opened wide, and a half-exclamation was stuck in his throat, and when there was a continuous explosion in the direction of Wucun Town, it slowly spit out with his tired lips and turned into a long exclamation-"Ah! ”

Du Linzi is rare and strange, and it is not surprising that there would be such a reaction. And Ni Chunsheng actually had a stunned expression, which seemed a bit too much to say. It is understandable that Ni Chunsheng would have such a reaction, because so far, it is also the first time he has seen such a spectacular scene of rocket artillery salvo. Ni Chunsheng is the "turtle" that Gu Lianyun dug back for Ouyang Yun from the United States, after he exclaimed "MyGod", he suddenly woke up to his duty, and quickly pinched the send button and shouted: "All units are there!" Speed reload, fast! Fast! Fast! Then he ran to the nearest "Thunderbolt" and stood among the cadets to take on the role of a relay hand.
