Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (20)

When Wei Zhigao's sappers arrived, it was already the second half of the night, and before he even had time to put down the backpack on his body, he dug a three-layer trench with a depth of three meters and a length of dozens of meters at the designated place, put * and * densely in one layer, connected the electric fire device, and then disguised the upper layer as a fairly good fortification bunker, in which one or two hundred people could stay. After finishing this thing, the sky was already dark, and Wei Zhigao's people were so tired that they couldn't take a step, and stumbled back to the camp, not even washing the mud on their hands, and fell to sleep on the ground. The other departments were not idle, the 123rd Battalion had already finished tidying up its fortifications, the Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery battalion were also properly placed, and the soldiers were sleeping soundly on their gun positions.

Mo Di followed the logistics troops to send breakfast, by the way to see the preparations of the various departments, although everyone is tired, but the work is not sloppy, the fortifications are very good, although there are no excellent materials, but the anti-artillery holes are dug in place, can do their own life responsible. He was even more satisfied with the work of the artillery battalion, preparing three artillery positions and repairing the middle road so that the artillery could move quickly between the positions.

I didn't see Chen Zhengxin's guard battalion from beginning to end, I don't know where this group of people went, according to the convention, in this kind of lively time, they can't be without their figures.

Huang Tianhua was with Jing Jiamo, the head of the 793rd Regiment, and the 793rd Regiment had two tasks: first, to continue to create the illusion of business as usual in the original position, and second, to become the last force as a counteroffensive force. In order to complete the first task, the 793 regiment was also busy all night, they demolished all the beams and pillars in the Shipai City, strengthened the defensive ground again, and opened a retreat channel, so that it could be attacked, defended, retreated and advanced. Huang Tianhua's strictness of the requirements for fortifications is far better than that of the 20th Army, he kept saying a word to the soldiers, sweat more now, you can shed less blood in a while, and now you can do more, and when you can not die, Yang Hanlie has double respect for this senior in Whampoa, before and after the saddle, he runs well or not.

When the day dawned, the sun was shining from the east, which was really dazzling, and Mo Dou put his hand on the awning to take a look at it, and said: "This sun, today is to help the Japanese!" ”

"It's okay, we don't fight with them." Jiang Chunyang said: "If the Japanese knew that you had buried such a big pit for them, they would not dare to come over if they were killed." ”

"Huh! The Japanese are donkeys, they don't kick or go, they go backwards, and if they ignore him, they will automatically go on the road. After Mo Di finished speaking, the two laughed.

At about nine o'clock, the Japanese offensive began.

Sure enough, today's artillery is completely different from yesterday's, and it can be seen that it is the shell of the 75 mountain artillery, and Mo Di, Huang Tianhua, Jing Jiamo, and Yang Hanlie have formed a joint command center, which is at a distance from the position. Looking at the wet soil kicked off by the shells, Yang Hanlie smiled and said, "Deputy Brigade Commander Mo is gone!" The Japanese did not have 150 heavy artillery, all 75 mountain artillery, not even field artillery. ”

"Childe, do you still want the Japanese to transfer 150 heavy artillery! In Anqing, I saw 150 large artillery shells fired from gunboats on the river, and it was good that our river fortifications were not hit, and they were all destroyed in one hit, and the power was extraordinary. Jing Jiamo said with a smile: "It's still a transportation problem, land transportation is difficult, although the river in front of you is small, it is not easy for tanks to come over." ”

"Does the 6th Division have tanks?" Mo Di asked.

"Yes, we saw it during the attack on Anqing, not many, just four." Yang Hanlie replied that during the Anqing War, his cavalry company served as a reconnaissance mission and had a better understanding of the situation.

"There are more than four vehicles, it was the Botian detachment that attacked Anqing, not the Sixth Division." Huang Tianhua replied: "As far as we know, the Fourth Division has a tank wing attached to the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, with a tank wing of 1,070 people, and has jurisdiction over 3 Type 97 medium tank squadrons, 1 Type 95 light tank squadron, 1 artillery tank (self-propelled artillery) squadron, and another maintenance squadron and maintenance squadron; Each tank wing has 73 vehicles of all types and 27 other vehicles. They don't come out in peacetime, and they only fight with the army when they are carrying out major operations. I estimate that the Japanese tanks will not be released yet. ”

"Is your message so clear?" Jing Jiamo asked in surprise.

Huang Tianhua smiled and didn't answer, Mo Di has three channels to get the news, one is the regular channel, which is obtained from the superior according to the procedure, the other is Xu Ping, Jin Tongxuan's relationship network is quite large, Anhui is full of his uncle's Chamber of Commerce branches, and the other is Yang Kezhi of the New Fourth Army, Yang Kezhi reported the rescue of the 1056 regiment, and Gao Jingting, the leader of the four teams, clearly told Yang Kezhi that there is no rudeness, and the other party respects us a foot, and we respect the other party. Chief of Staff Zhang Yunyi knew that it was the Mo's enemy's department, and through Yun Yinglin's direct contact with the Mo's enemy's department, he often revealed some news to Huang Tianhua, and they were in the Wuweichao County area, and the news was relatively early.

"The Japanese army is coming!" The sharp-eyed Yang Hanlie shouted, everyone stretched out their heads to take a look, and sure enough, the Japanese army rushed up one after another from under the river embankment, and the sniper sound of Jing Jiamo's troops immediately sounded in the position.

The Japanese soldiers were not in a hurry, let the soldiers lie on the ground, turned the grenadiers over, gathered them, threw the shells at the position of the sniper troops, and took advantage of the smoke screen blown up by the grenadier smoke screen, Jing Jiamo's troops safely withdrew from the trench. After the Japanese army continued to throw for more than ten minutes, an officer stood up abruptly and waved his war knife in his hand, "Kill the chicken!" The Japanese soldier lying on the ground jumped up like a spring and ran towards the position.

Judging roughly by the number of people on the move, here are two squadrons of Japanese troops, more than 300 people, divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right. The Japanese army soon occupied the position vacated by Jing Jiamo's troops, and shouted loudly on the position, and some Japanese soldiers threw their hats up, and some directly pulled down their pants to pee, in this way to express their joy.

The good times didn't last long, Lan Shiyun's Type 92 cannon accurately hoisted the cannonball into the crowd of Japanese soldiers like it had eyes, and suddenly exploded countless stumps and broken arms, and the Japanese army reacted that it was still early to celebrate. Under the organization of the officers, the Japanese soldiers, who quickly entered the state, slaughtered in depth with their waists.

"Three battalions against two squadrons, we have a chance of winning!" Mo Enemy's words made Jing Jiamo a little surprised, three battalions have a chance of winning against two squadrons, so what is Wang Yuying's one division that can't do one wing!

The Japanese army rushed closer and closer, and they were about to rush to the position of the 1056th Regiment, only to see hundreds of hand cannon shells suddenly fly out of the trenches of the 1056th Regiment, which immediately smashed the Japanese stormtroop formation to pieces, and the Japanese attack immediately stopped.

At this time, from behind the 1056th regiment, the shells of the Type 92 infantry guns once again fell on the heads of the Japanese troops, and with the guidance of the infantry, the artillery was fired more accurately, and it always fell in the place where the Japanese personnel were most concentrated, and the Japanese immediately retreated.

Lan Shiyun didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately transferred the cannon to the second gun position, and as soon as he left, the shells of the Japanese army's Qiwu Mountain Gun fell on the first gun position.

As the enemy expected, the Japanese immediately chose the fortifications prepared for them by Wei Zhigao, which was the best position to hide from the shelling.

"Let's stop watching it then!" Mo Di said.

Jing Jiamo paused for a moment and said, "I really want to see what it looks like when such a large* explosion of more than a ton is like." ”

Before the words fell, I felt a shaking on the ground, followed by a deafening explosion. Mo Di, who was covering his ears, let go of his hand, looked at Jing Jiamo, who was a little stupid by the shock, pushed it, and said something. Jing Jiamo couldn't hear at all, and stared at him in a hurry.

When Liu Bolong heard the explosion, he immediately led a battalion to surround the explosion point, and the cold guns began to shoot in without a single shot.

"It's so exciting!" Yang Hanlie shouted: "The next thing is to encircle the point and send reinforcements." Captain Jing, shouldn't our people enter the previous position? ”

Jing Jiamo nodded and said, "A battalion enters, relying on fortifications to destroy the enemy reinforcements." The second battalion and the third battalion were prepared. ”

Huang Tianhua ordered the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 1056th Regiment to patrol the upper and lower sides of the dive, so as not to let the Japanese take advantage of our loopholes.

Hearing the huge explosion, Chen Zhengxin stood up with a smile and said: The first step of the battle plan was successfully implemented!

He had already crossed the dive and came to the rear of the Japanese army, and in front of him was the Japanese army's 75 mountain artillery position, where there were 24 mountain guns, which should be two artillery brigades, and it could be seen from the arrangement of the artillery positions that they were only two different camps. The heavy artillery units of the Japanese army are generally directly subordinate to the military headquarters of the front army, and the artillery wings directly under the divisions and regiments are generally divided into two types: if it is a horse pulling division, it is mainly field artillery, and if it is a pack horse division, it is generally mainly mountain artillery. The Sixth Division is a Bangmajia-level division, and his artillery wing has four brigades, including two field artillery brigades and two mountain artillery brigades. His job is to get rid of these two mountain artillery brigades of the Japanese army, of course, not now, the current job is to wait. It was time for Chen Zhengxin to do his job when the Japanese infantry were sent to death in Hexi in batches and there were not enough people around the artillery to guard them.

The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Sano Torota was also taken aback by the huge explosion, and soon, he figured out what the situation was, and actually fell for the tricks of the Chinese, two complete squadrons of more than 360 people, lost more than 30 people in the attack, and the number of people reduced in the explosion to 167, and now the imperial soldiers who were huddled in the fortifications were surrounded by the Chinese army, and if they were not rescued quickly, the first batch of 360 people who had passed would have turned into 360 corpses.

The most important thing is that there are no more silver dollars in his hand to redeem these three hundred and sixty corpses!
