Chapter Eighty-Seven: Heavy Artillery!
Qian Shuanglin had consumed too much physical strength before. It's a bit wooden in my head now. Huang Deyu's shout failed to bring back his senses, and just as he stared blankly at the battlefield, a little confused about the sudden shouting and killing, "Tick tock!" Right beside him, the trumpet of the charge sounded.
The commander Fang Wa was wounded at the beginning of the battle. Fang Wa was only sixteen years old, so she was specially left by Qian Shuanglin to take care of her. Fang Wa had thought earlier that if the battle was really irreversible, if he was surrounded by enemies, he would die fearlessly at the sound of the trumpet. At the age of sixteen, just in the prime of cardamom, Fang Wa can see life and death, which shows that he is already a qualified soldier.
Originally, he didn't have much judgment on the battlefield situation, and he was still a little ignorant of the situation on the other side, but when Huang Deyu's shout reached his ears, the young man was excited, and he immediately had an epiphany. He dropped his gun, took off his trumpet, and blew it desperately.
The charging horn that was close at hand finally activated Qian Shuanglin, his eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out: "Brothers, rush!" Then he stood up with a breeze.
His voice was already hoarse, and in the midst of the gunfire, the shout didn't come far, but it was enough. Huang Deyu was by his side, he just had to hear it. "Brothers, regimental command, charge!" He shouted loudly and rushed in front of Qian Shuanglin and rushed towards the Japanese army opposite.
The soldiers of the 10th Wing did not know what the commanders of the Gang were trying to lure the enemy. The appearance of enemy reinforcements made their already tired body and mind and weak will to fight even worse. Stimulated by this, many people suddenly remembered that they had been drawn from a division, and they asked each other, "What about our big army?" Do the people of China have reinforcements? What about our reinforcements? Where are our reinforcements? ”
What about reinforcements from the 10th Wing?
About fifteen hundred meters away from the battlefield, Yoshio Jotsuka stood beside Nishio Shouzo, and finally couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Excellency, let's start the general attack!" The strength of the people of China should all be here. ”
Nishio was unmoved, his eyes fixed on the south bank, and said, "No—wait! Listen—"
Holding back his impatience and nervousness, Jozuka turned his head to follow his gaze to the south bank, and after a moment, he said in surprise: "The artillery of the Chinese people, the Chinese people have artillery-" As soon as his voice fell, the sound of artillery on the south bank came. Suddenly, more than a dozen fireballs smashed on the Japanese mortar position just now, and then an earth-shattering explosion erupted.
"Heavy artillery!" Jozuka muttered to himself, and his face changed.
The mortar positions of the Japanese had already been transferred, so this heavy artillery salvo did not cause damage to the Japanese. However, thinking that once a large army was engaged in battle, if the indiscriminate shelling of the student army on the other side of the river was carried out, the jotsuka lost his voice.
Nishio Shouzo's face remained unchanged, but his tone became cold: "The people of Nan'an China have increased their troops. ”
"But, Your Excellency, do you sit back and watch the 10th Wing being surrounded and annihilated by the Zhina?"
"Not really. You see, the rear army of the Zhi Na people is only about one regiment, hmph, if the former original can't carry two regiments of the Zhi Na people with one wing, will such an adjutant and such a force still have the meaning of existence? ”
Jozuka gasped and was speechless.
The artillery regiment of the 12th Division is still in Hukou. Where did Ye Zhao get the heavy artillery? Suddenly, Nishio Shouzo gave the answer, and this time, the old devil's tone finally revealed a trace of panic - "No, it looks like our army's heavy artillery?" Could it be the 106th Division? He and Jozuka looked at each other, and there were all kinds of questions in their eyes.
Nishio guessed correctly, it was indeed the heavy artillery of the 106th Division, and what did these heavy artillery get into Ye Zhao's hands, but it had to be related to Xue Yue.
Nakajima Jingcun didn't know what to do, and when he occupied Jiujiang without blood, there was still a Chinese army hidden in Jiujiang. This force, which was only about 300 men, was not a regular army, but a brigade of the Jiangxi guerrilla column subordinate to Xue Yue. The scope of activity of the brigade was in the Jiujiang area, and they were hidden among the people under the leadership of the brigade commander Chi Guanxing, so they were not exposed during the occupation of Jiujiang by the 106th Division.
Nakajima Kemura did not expect that although the operation he thought was secret to bury the heavy artillery had deceived the Xuebing Army, it would fall into the hands of the guerrillas under Chi Guanxing.
Nakajima Qiancun took people across the lake to the mouth of the lake, and Chi Guanxing summoned his men to start the cannon. After the cannon was raised, Chi Guanxing's original plan was to dedicate it to Xue Yue, but a team leader under him suggested: At present, there is a fierce battle in the Pengze area, and instead of traveling a long way to dedicate it to Commander Xue, it is better to dedicate it to the nearby Xuebing Army. The squad leader gave a few examples to illustrate how rich the cadet army was and how well the officers and soldiers below were treated. When Chi Guanxing heard this, he felt reasonable, and at this time, he received a report that the Xuebing Army had entered Jiujiang, so he decided to find the commander of the Xuebing Army nearby to offer these huge cannons, so as to have a good future for himself and his brothers. Chi Guanxing organized a lot of villagers to help transport the cannon into the city, but coincidentally, he happened to meet Chang Zhiguo who brought people out to collect fishing boats, and the two sides met unexpectedly at the south gate of Jiujiang. Chang Zhiguo had a flexible mind, listened to Chi Guanxing to explain the origin of these cannons, and saw that there were many cannonballs with the cannons, he didn't care about collecting fishing boats at the moment, and they hurried to the river crossing with Chi Guanxing.
After Chang Zhiguo saw Ye Zhao, he immediately put forward his own suggestion: No matter how many devils there are on the opposite side, now that there are artillery that can provide long-range fire support, then let's come first to deter the Japanese army and boost the morale of the officers and soldiers on the north bank.
Ye Zhao naturally had no objections, he personally met with Chi Guanxing, and after being comforted, he asked him to help collect fishing boats. Then he personally directed his men to erect artillery positions and began shelling mortar positions that had been exposed by the Japanese before.
The sudden appearance of artillery on the south bank not only gave a great deterrent to the Japanese army, making Nishio Shouzo and others fearful, but also greatly boosted the morale of the cadet soldiers on the north bank. Like Nishio and them, Gao Yongxiang and others did not know where these artillery pieces came from, but this is not important, the important thing is that with these artillery pieces to provide long-range fire support, the Japanese army's strength advantage has been greatly weakened. It can even be said that because of these cannons, the troops of the North Shore are already invincible.
Gao Yongxiang, as the commander of the 36th Brigade of Xuexue, is good at grasping fighters and building momentum, and he shouted loudly in the rumbling explosion: "Brothers, do you see, our artillery has driven to Jiujiang!" Brothers, kill! ”
The good news for the Cadet Army is naturally bad news for the Japanese army. If the devils of the 10th Wing found that the enemy who launched a sneak attack only had about a regiment of troops, and saw that they still had an absolute superiority in troops, so they still had the fighting spirit, then now, with the rumbling cannons, their fighting spirit plummeted, but they no longer had the luxury of victory. More than ever, they were expecting the appearance of the main forces, and to their disappointment, it was almost a quarter of an hour before the start of a new battle, and the main forces still did not appear. Therefore, many devils were full of complaints, and many of them began to subconsciously move closer to the northwest, waiting for Maehara Shengmin to give the order to break through.
