The second echelon of the 200th Division quickly climbed the mountain, the breakthrough had been opened, and it was up to us to further cut off the connection between the two enemy divisions and regiments back to back. At this time, the artillery fire continued to develop in depth to the enemy, trying to stun the enemy.

In fact, at this time, the telephone line connecting the 4th Division defense area of the Yamashita Fengwen Headquarters had been interrupted by artillery fire, but Yamashita still saw through the telescope that the situation was not right. Such a fierce artillery fire was something he had never seen in his many years in the army. As far as the staff observation goes, the 4th Division held the main peaks on both sides of the position, but it was actually cut down a lot by artillery fire. In other words, the entire mountain beam can no longer be blocked. The mountain did not know whose hand the mountain beam was still in its hands, but the enemy's artillery fire had obviously extended to the back hill, and this was a very serious situation, and if the enemy drilled in and interspersed and divided his two divisions, the situation would be serious.

His reserve, Nakazawa's troops, had already been hit by rocket artillery in the afternoon, and lost seven or eight hundred men, so he decided to send another reserve of the 5th Division, the Nagase Detachment, to support the defense of the 4th Division.

Yamashita Bongbun himself, of course, has long known the power of rocket artillery. As early as the Battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet army experimentally threw this weapon into use. Some unexploded ordnance was never captured by the Japanese. The General Staff Headquarters judged that although the power of this weapon was amazing, it was only flying in a swarm, and it was not accurate, and it was not easy to grasp the ever-changing information on the battlefield and launch an attack, especially since the tactical value of transporting and loading such slow things was obviously limited. Therefore, the Japanese army developed such weapons mainly for siege purposes, rather than to kill and damage a large number of group targets.

However, Chu Tingchang knew the tactical value of this weapon, and even excavated some battle value. This kind of swarming thing, once used at a critical time, can achieve battlefield blocking.

After this afternoon, the Chinese army did not use this original 114-mm rocket launcher. The main thing is to be busy reloading and shifting positions. The Chinese army uses Willis jeeps to maneuver these things, and the cross-country ability is obviously much more reliable than trucks and horse-drawn carriages.

Now that Lu Qingshan, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, has noticed that the enemy has once again mobilized his forces in the far-reaching area, the time has come for this destructive weapon to show its face again. Of course, he had to find a narrow spot where the enemy's formation would inevitably converge and aim in advance. However, in the mountains, the route of the troops is always easy to predict (from the view of the UAV)

The Nagase Brigade advanced into artillery fire with fear, and they fought their way out of the sea of corpses and blood in Australia, and they were not so frightened when facing a five-fold enemy. What they feared was not a close encounter with the enemy, but the sudden and devastating firepower that killed and wounded Nakazawa's troops in the afternoon. When the Nakazawa troops that had assembled to cross the river suffered a catastrophe, the Nagase Brigade was nearby. They had never seen such accurate firepower, as precise as a punishment from the gods, engulfing 1,500 troops at once.

About half of the senior commanders at the front were from the artillery section, and they knew the power of artillery, and they knew that no artillery could be so accurate. In particular, the Nakazawa troops were in a rather backward position at that time, and there was no observation plane of the other side on their heads.

Throughout the afternoon, Nagase's brigade was scattered over an area of several square kilometers, digging trenches, and the fire of destruction did not fall on them. Now they are starting to assemble. The commander, Nagasefuchi Shaosa, was terrified like never before. He knew that his 1,200 people would be at stake. He had long heard that Chu Tingchang was the reincarnation of Kong Ming's demon, and he could use the power of gods and ghosts, and what he saw this afternoon was indeed right. Almost from the attack in the afternoon, he interpreted the key point of Chu Tingchang's use of troops. He will definitely wait for his targets to concentrate before attacking.

He ordered four squadrons, to move in three separate directions, and to separate the distances. Even if you disobey the military order a little, you can avoid being served in one pot. The Brigade Headquarters was in the center, following the two squadrons.

Lu Qingshan noticed the enemy's movements, obviously it was time to test his subtle operations, of course, he still had 419 behind him, and he could give orders to the artillery units in front of him in a timely manner, and if the enemy was dispersed, then his artillery fire must also be dispersed.

Soon he demarcated the corresponding coverage area on each of the enemy's paths, and of course these presets required some strain and adjustment. Because of the mountain cover, the attack itself will be very limited, so it is not possible to attack all three columns of the enemy at the same time.

Nagase commanded his troops forward in fear, and there was a piercing whistling sound in the air that scared him the most. He looked up, and the red clouds rolling in the west were a thousand times clearer and frightening than during the day. Pavilion Chief Chu's divine punishment really came again.

But the thunderous attack, instead of falling on the head of the column where he was, crossed them and flew to the left flank column. Immediately, the flames that lit up the sky flew to a farther place, this time falling on the head of another squadron. Nagase ordered the troops to cease operations.

Across a mountain beam, he could also see the flames soaring into the sky.

He broke away from the troops, climbed to the commanding heights, and observed the losses of the troops on both flanks. One of his squadrons, almost the entire team was covered. The entire squadron was burning on one side of the hillside, and Kong Ming's good use of fire was indeed right. He realized that his worst premonitions had all been fulfilled, and his professional education naturally could not resist the enemy's supernatural demon magic. It seems that if his brigade headquarters takes a step forward, it will inevitably be destroyed.

Lu Qingshan waited for this force to continue to move forward and get out of the geographical shielding area, he had already aimed ahead, and only needed this column to move forward another 500 meters, but the enemy did not move, so he could only continue to wait. The UAV's aperture radar mapping, combined with artillery ballistic calculations, plus surveillance at all times, gives him an advantage. The enemy's only way out is to break it into pieces, and he really has no choice, but that will inevitably make the troops lose their organization.

Nagase didn't let Lu Qingshan wait longer, he ordered the troops to retreat, thinking that in this way he could avoid the catastrophe. Of course, the one who should come is still coming back, and he can't hide from it.

The brigade headquarters and combat units retreated, gradually leaving the protection of the mountain. Nagase looked at the sky around him in fear, fearing that his punishment would fall. All the worries will eventually become reality.

The whistling* descended from heaven and enveloped the last of his troops.

In the Kuala Lumpur Army Hospital, Isoroku Yamamoto finally saw Makino in a coma. Makino has been lying in a drowsy state like this for half a month, and he has woken up several times during this time, but none of them lasted too long.

One of the longer awakenings, Makino seemed to say something, and at that time he was slurred, and the doctor on the left didn't hear it too clearly.

Yamamoto was outside the glass window, looking at the unconscious Makino, his operation was not yet complete, even if the navy doctor was brought in for a consultation, he could not solve the last piece of shrapnel in his chest here, the shrapnel was stuck in the spine and could not be removed.

"The doctor said: He could stay in a coma." Takijiro Onishi on the side said.

"All means must be used to save him."

"Actually, the plan left behind by Makino-kun is sufficient, and we already have enough foundation to develop a powerful weapon on our own......"

"Do you really think so?"

"Commander, as far as I know, many people feel that Makino-kun's plan is actually a bit conservative, and we should use the current foundation to rise to greater war potential......" Onishi was ashamed, completely forgetting that Makino was lying here because he used guided weapons too early.

"No matter what, Makino still has to be saved......" Yamamoto seemed to be moved by Onishi's words, "By the way, there are many people in the upper echelons who think that Makino's plan is too conservative?" ”

"Yes, of course!" When he saw the commander asking, he wanted to quickly express his opinion, "Makino-kun did help us build the foundation of some new industries, but he was slow to put the weapon samples into actual combat. He always felt that the time had not come. ”

"That's true." Yamamoto empathizes.

"The current situation is running out, Commander, the defeat of the army in Southeast Asia is becoming more and more obvious, and soon, our navy will be isolated in the South Seas."

"That's really what I'm worried about. Commander Sakagaki's plan doesn't look like it's going to work. ”

"The new guided weapons were viable, and we were successful in the battle against the British fleet near Kalimantan before the time of day, and many pilots saw those weapons crossing the beautiful line and catching up with the enemy ships."

"Well, I've read the report, but Makino means that it will be improved again before it is put into mass production."

"It's too late, Chu Tingchang's expansion on land can only be stopped by us at sea. As for industrial production, it can be carried out while improving. The development steps are clearly written in his notes, but we don't need him to guide us. ”

"Let's not talk about that, this time I came, I still have to bring him back to Singapore, and then send him back to my home country as soon as possible. It's really not safe here. ”

"Yes, the doctor said, it's too hot and humid here, and it's not good for recovery......"

"Onishi-kun, for now, we still try to get the matter of transporting Makino properly, and we must count the most troublesome things that the Chinese submarine may cause."

"This is not a problem, I have carefully studied the air bases that the enemy may use, and none of them can pose a threat to our return route, not to mention that 40 fighter jets will take off to escort us."

"Are there too many fighters? It's like a combat mission? Yamamoto hesitated.

"Of course not much, didn't Asano say that you died from too few escort planes."

"That being said, history doesn't simply repeat itself, does it?"

An agent of Chen Ping's guerrilla team, who was working as a grocer at the Japanese air base in Kuala Lumpur, was short and fat, with his eyes wide open, like a patient with Down syndrome.

The Japanese pilots were not too afraid of this stupid-looking fat man who always wore a Japanese military training cap, and often made fun of him. Naturally, he doesn't shy away from talking and bragging when he is on the side. This man can't even speak Chinese, let alone understand Japanese. But he can really understand Japanese.
