Jiang Hongming and Chang Zhiguo each held a telescope. Nervously staring at the other side. The flames of war ignited again, and Ye Zhao's figure was found on the river beach, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief but their hearts tightened even tighter. Ye Zhao, as the commander of the first division, went to the dangerous front line, but the two auxiliary officers stayed in the relatively safe rear, which made them feel very uncomfortable. If Ye Zhao doesn't have an accident, if Ye Zhao has an accident, they don't dare to imagine how they will face the commander-in-chief in Madang.

The flares rose into the sky again, and unlike the previous ones, this time, when the flares were shining over the positions of the Cadet Corps, flares were also raised over the Japanese charging line.

This is the flare that Ye Zhao and the others brought across the river, and it is also the only little stock in the 12th Division. While these flares illuminated the ranks of the Japanese troops, they were also conveying a message to Jiang Hongming and them - open fire!

This was an appointment between Ye Zhao and Jiang Hongming and them before boarding the ship, and once the Jiangbei troops began to fire flares, then the artillery in Jiangnan could open fire.

Under the light of the flares, the two warring sides were seen by Chang Zhiguo and them. In the binoculars, the distance between the two sides of the fierce exchange of fire was so close that they could almost see the overlapping figures of the soldiers on both sides of the battle. In this case, whether to fire the cannon and where to fire it has become a question that makes Jiang Hongming and Chang Zhiguo very entangled.

Jiang Hongming put down the binoculars, gritted his teeth and sighed heavily, and said to Chang Zhiguo: "I don't know much about the battle, you can make up your mind." ”

Chang Zhiguo put down the binoculars, his brows were tightly knit, and he was so furrowed that he could almost unscrew the water. Jiang Hongming is the political director and is only responsible for the building of civilization and other spiritual things in the troops. However, as long as he thought of the possible consequences of his order, a resentment rose in his heart—this old man is not kind! He was entangled in his heart, and after a few minutes, he said: "I think, let's shoot in depth!" If the little devil still has ambush soldiers, it can also be deterred so that they don't dare to act rashly! ”

Jiang Hongming actually thought the same way, but in order to avoid suspicion, of course, he was also afraid of taking responsibility, so he was not kind. Chang Zhiguo's decision was exactly as he wished, and he said: "Listen to you! ”

Ye Zhao's order must be carried out, but if he really fires the cannon on the battlefield as he said, even if the shooting Zhuyuan is measured accurately, because the accuracy of this artillery is only like this, accidental injuries are inevitable. And considering that the artillery that is now controlled is taken from the little devil, and it is not controlled by professional artillery, then the probability of this accidental injury is too great. If you blow up your own people without hurting the devil, it will become a big joke. In this case, firing in depth is undoubtedly the best choice. This wave of attacks launched by the Japanese had more troops than the previous ones, but it was only a little more, so even without artillery support, I believe that they could withstand the division - Chang Zhiguo pondered so much and finally gave such an order.

The rumbling sound of cannon fire rang out, and nearly twenty 150-millimeter heavy guns opened fire at the same time, and the momentum caused by it was spectacular. Dozens of huge fireballs roared and smashed into a poplar forest about a kilometer away behind the Japanese charging line, leveling the poplar forest in an instant.

This round of shelling was almost not accurate, and in Chang Zhiguo's planning, this was purely perfunctory in order to deal with Ye Zhao's orders. However, the effect of this round of shelling made him stunned. In the telescope, the poplar forest was blown up and ignited, and under the reflection of the firelight, there were many earthy yellow figures jumping and running.

There, there are really hidden devils' ambushes!

When Nishio Shouzo had just given the order for the entire army to retreat, there were still quite a few devils in the 10th Division who were puzzled. It is no wonder that after paying a great deal of casualties, they have a solid advantage and can completely annihilate the people on the river beach, but they have to "escape", not to mention those radical middle-aged and young officers, even those devil soldiers are also very puzzled. After this round of shelling, they realized that His Excellency the Commander had already seen the danger in advance, and this was a timely adjustment strategy.

It was an unexpected surprise for the Cadet Corps. Chang Zhiguo immediately woke up from his shocked state, and he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Brothers, good job, continue to beat me hard!" ”

The artillery commander was a company commander of a guard battalion who had spent a month in an artillery regiment. After he observed the firing effect of the first round of corrected ballistics through the telescope, he was also a little incredulous - his grandmother's, Lao Tzu's character is too good, right? Immediately, he was awakened by Chang Zhiguo's words, and immediately dropped the telescope and shouted: "Quick, push back to the original gun position!" Note that the height is increased by one more unit - fire! ”

Because the retreat order was questioned by the middle and low-level young officers at the beginning, the retreat of the 10th Division was very slow, and this directly gave the amateur artillery of the South Bank Cadet Corps a chance to expand the results. At this moment, the common sense of what could happen to retaliatory shelling was also thrown out of the minds of Chang Zhiguo and the artillery commander. They only urged the cadets to speed up the firing of their cannons, and in just ten minutes, one base number of shells was consumed.

"Boom!" "Boom!" The explosions came and went, making the little devils cry wolf. The grove where the 10th Division was hiding was leveled in an instant, and their formation was disrupted in an instant. And when they reacted and finally realized that it was very necessary to retreat, more than a large group of devils were buried in the fire.

The explosion sounded earth-shatteringly, and when Ye Zhao found that the explosion site was far away from the battlefield, he was still very angry at first, thinking that Chang Zhiguo had failed to live up to his expectations and did not truthfully carry out his orders. He looked back at Jiang Nan and scolded hatefully: "This bastard, does he want us to die worthless?" ”

A staff officer suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes, handed over the binoculars, and said, "Master, look! ”

The staff officer's tone was a little agitated. Ye Zhao glanced at him in surprise, raised the binoculars and looked at it, the next moment, he was dumbfounded, and then "Ha Lu Ha" Da Lu laughed: "Lose his mother, this Chang Zhiguo, how did he find out?" ”

Ye Zhaoyou guessed that the Japanese army still had troops in ambush, but he didn't expect it to be so close and so large. In close shelling, the denser the enemy's troops, the greater the efficiency of the artillery bombardment -- this is the common sense of artillery warfare, and there are thousands of devils on the opposite side, and when they are bombarded by heavy artillery within a range of two or three kilometers, their losses can be imagined.

The sudden appearance of the fire zone blocked his realization, and he didn't know that there were not only a few thousand devils there, but nearly twenty thousand devils there.
