Chapter 285: Fight back

Shunroku Hata's assertion of Matsui Ishine and Tani Shoo was incisive and accurate, but he did not expect that his premature assertion of the Battle of Fuding would increase the psychological burden on the two of them, Keisuke Fujie and Saburo Miura. After hanging up the phone, Fujie and Miura discussed a few words about the current battle situation, thinking that if Yushan could not make a breakthrough, then this New Year's strategy would become a joke, and they felt more and more that they had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders. The psychological hint of only winning and not losing took root in the hearts of the two people, making them desperate and determined. They combined their headquarters together, with Fujie as the main and Miura as the auxiliary, and quickly achieved the following troop adjustments.

The direction of the offensive was divided into two parts, one was still the 114th Brigade of the 127th Division as the main force, and the front-line commander was the brigade commander of the brigade, Major General Akimitsu Saburo, personally assumed the command, and on the basis of the 65th Infantry Wing, the 102nd Infantry Wing and the 20th Infantry Wing of the 16th Division were added, which were still in charge of the Hufeng front. The other unit set out from Liudu Township, Yushan County, bypassed Huacun Township, and then attacked Wucun Township in Guangfeng County, under the command of Major General Naoji Sakai, commander of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division, and under the command of the Quzhou Security Brigade, the 9th Tank Wing of the 16th Division, and the 115th Infantry Wing of the 9th Infantry Wing and the 114th Infantry Division. In order to be able to support the Hufeng and Wucun fronts at the same time, the 22nd Heavy Artillery Wing of the 16th Division and the heavy artillery brigade directly under the army will be deployed in the area of Xujia Village and Longtouba, which are 10 kilometers away from Wucun Town, 11 kilometers away from Yushan, and 5 kilometers away from Hufeng. The escort unit was led by Major General Obaof, commander of the 128th Brigade of the 114th Division, and the 150th Infantry Wing.

The Japanese army's adjustment of forces was not small, which caused a rare calm on the Hufeng front. Just when the Japanese army was adjusting its strength, Ye Zhao transferred the 17th Brigade to the Hufeng front line and prepared for a counterattack. At the same time, the Shangrao Self-Defense Corps was sent to Guangfeng County to prepare for the Japanese army to attack from the southern front.

At about 2:10 a.m., the battle began again. The Japanese offensive was the same as before, first with regular artillery preparation, then with an infantry attack, and after the infantry was repulsed, the gas bombs came again. Lessons from the past, this time Ye Zhao gave the order to retreat without hesitation.

In the fierce battle, the 2nd Army has died at the hands of the 120th Field Artillery Wing of the Japanese army, and at least 2,000 students have died. Therefore, the top and bottom of the Second Army hated this Japanese artillery to the core, and they had the intention of devouring it alive. Otsuka should have a feeling for this, and he tried his best to fight for a while and then change positions. So far, he and his more than 2,000 soldiers have changed positions under the escort of a large group of infantry. And just as he was counting the number of poison gas bombs that had been fired, and while thinking about where to transfer next, under the embankment on the north bank of the Xinjiang River, about five or six hundred meters away from them, Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng, the two apprentices, slowly retracted their heads, and after the two of them looked at each other, the latter turned on the walkie-talkie switch on his body, adjusted the channel, put the microphone to his mouth and shouted softly: "Dashan, Dashan, I am Xiaoxi, please reply when you receive it!" ”

"Dashan received, Xiaoxi, please speak!"

"Logo - Beach Creek, eight hundred meters to the north, over!"

"Roger!"

The frozen Xinjiang River is a place where the scouts of both sides compete. This is another battlefield, where battles tend to end in a single moment, and the result is either you die or I die. The Shangying battlefield did not receive the support of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade, but judging from the current situation, the scouts of the Second Army have the absolute upper hand in this contest.

Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng lay near the bodies of three devils, two of the three devils were wiped directly from behind, and the other was suffocated to death because his head was pressed into the snow on the bank of the Xinjiang River. Xue Defeng had just reported the location of the 120th Field Artillery Wing to Cai Dayong, commander of the 4th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment. A group of devils walked in the darkness dozens of meters away, and one of the devils in the lead shook his flashlight to look around, and said in Japanese: "What about Kameda?" Why can't you see them? As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by a devil next to him, and the devil pointed to the left front and exclaimed, "What is that?" The devils looked in the direction of his finger, and immediately shouted sharply: "It's not good, the shelling of the Zhina! Then he threw himself on the ground.

All the devils threw themselves to the ground, holding their heads and looking up - two fireballs flew from afar under their gaze, and the "hoo" shells burst through the air, and exploded in the middle of the position of the 120th Field Artillery Wing in the blink of an eye. Two fireballs rose, a seventy-five-millimeter field cannon was overturned by the exploding gas, and several devil artillerymen next to it flew into the air, and the wails stopped abruptly before they hit the ground.

The sudden shelling frightened the group of devils, and they were discussing something, when the devil with the flashlight suddenly shouted: "What kind of person?!" Then he swept the flashlight towards the river embankment where Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng were hiding.

There was a brief silence after the explosion, so Xue Defeng's words were particularly abrupt. Cai Dayong asked about the effect of the test shot, but they were exposed.

"Creek, report the test shot!"

Now that it's exposed, let's fight! Xue Defeng shouted at Zhang Xiaohua: "Cover me!" Then the probe looked over to the spot where the explosion had come from. The explosion ignited several fires, which could be distinguished by the faint light of the fire, and the test shot hit the target, he retracted his head, pinched the send button and shouted loudly in the sound of the Weiqing-style assault infantry: "Mountain, hit the target, over!" Then he pinned the microphone to his waist, took a grenade from his waist, twisted the cap and pulled the noose, and threw it for three seconds.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded, and in the sound of the explosion, the southwest sky suddenly flashed red, and the next moment, more than a dozen fireballs rose into the air, and then a dozen...... In just five minutes, hundreds of fireballs flew towards this direction with lightning speed. In the sound of the shells breaking through the air, the Japanese artillery position five hundred meters away immediately flashed with firelight, and then a continuous explosion sounded, Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng felt the trembling of the embankment under their feet, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces - the task is completed, they have nothing to regret, next, let's kill the devil happily!

The counterattack of the artillery of the Cadet Army was swift and accurate, far exceeding Otsuka's expectations. He didn't know that this was because there were enemy scouts lurking nearby to provide shooting for his artillery, but he thought that the visual inspection level of the artillery of the Cadet Army had reached an unbelievable situation, and he had indescribable emotions in his heart, although he was unwilling, he felt that this was an inevitable result, and his heart couldn't help but be depressed, and he no longer had the same passion and generosity as before.
