Chapter 571 - Impossible to Prevent
The straight-line distance from Anhua to Laoxian is about 50 kilometers.
But fortunately, a road was built between the two county towns, and this road was still under the control of the three-part district, so the wolf brigade led by Wang Ye could still march along the road.
It's just that there are only about thirty people left in the Wolf Warrior Brigade.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Ye led the wolf brigade from Anhua County, and by 12 o'clock in the evening, that is, at 0:00 the next day, he had arrived outside the southern gate of Lao County.
At this time, Feng Xianghe had already been waiting outside the South City Gate.
Although the Japanese 1st Division had already approached the city, it did not encircle Lao County on all sides, but only set up camp in the north of the county seat.
I have to say that the little devil is indeed much more cautious than before.
In the past, the 1st Division did not encircle on all sides, but there was no doubt that it would encircle three divisions and one division.
However, now, before the counterattack capability of the 386th Brigade is completely destroyed, we dare not separate the garrison, because the separate garrison means that it is more vulnerable to the attack of the 386th Brigade.
The night attack of the 386th Brigade was really unguardable.
Seeing people coming, Feng Xianghe hurriedly trotted forward to meet them.
"Who?" Wei Xilai shouted before the fight, "Password! ”
"Northwest Jin Independent Regiment!" Feng Xianghe said loudly, "Return order!" ”
"It's the elite who fights." Wei Xi replied, and said, "Brother Mouse, is that you?" ”
"It's me." Feng Xianghe answered, and then asked, "What about the captain?" Is the captain here? ”
"Nonsense, I'm not coming, you're commanding?" Wang Ye snorted and said, "What about your artillery unit and heavy machine gun unit?" ”
Feng Xianghe said: "They are afraid of delaying time, so they have already gone to Jiugong Town in advance to wait." ”
Wang Ye said: "Okay, take your people, hurry up and follow me, before four o'clock in the morning, you must find a suitable artillery position and measure the shooting of Zhuyuan, the time is a little tight." ”
Feng Xianghe answered yes and led people to follow Wang Ye.
……
On the road leading to Jiugong Town in Ping'an County, Lou Daqiang was leading the artillery battalion directly under the second detachment to march rapidly overnight.
Although it was a smooth road, due to the overnight rain, the road mud was very muddy and difficult to walk, and from time to time there would be mules, horses or warriors slipping and falling.
It's not a big problem for fighters to fall, it's good to get up again.
It was very troublesome for the mule and horse to fall, because the horse carried the parts of the mountain cannon and the shell box on its back, and the weight of the mule and horse itself weighed four or five hundred kilograms.
If this is pressed on a person, it can easily be crushed and seriously injured.
In addition, if you are walking at night, it is more likely to have problems.
In the more than 40 kilometers from Ping'an County, three soldiers have already broken their legs by mules and horses.
However, even so, Lou Daqiang couldn't slow down, because the command gave a death order, and he had to rush to Jiugong Town to gather before three o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, there are less than twenty kilometers left.
There are still three hours left, just in time.
However, Lou Daqiang still urged vigorously.
……
At three o'clock in the morning, ten kilometers northwest of Lao County.
Wang Ye shouted in a low voice: "Little Gray Ash, map!" ”
Wei Xilai hurriedly took out the map from his satchel.
I turned on the flashlight again, and a little light leaked through my fingers.
With this light, Wang Ye made marks on the map while calculating.
The flat land where we are now is an ideal artillery position, because this attack is a suicide attack, so there is no need to consider concealment and camouflage, and it is much easier to choose an artillery position.
This position was about 10 kilometers from the county seat of Laoxian County, and about 5 to 10 kilometers from the barracks of the 1st Division, and nearly half of the barracks were beyond the range of mountain artillery.
So this artillery position can only be an alternative.
Wang Ye chose six such artillery positions, and this one was the No. 6 position.
In the end, whether the position can be selected depends on Wei Dayong's detailed reconnaissance of the 1st Division's military camp, which must be decided according to the specific location of the devil's artillery position.
But the preparation can be done in advance.
According to the distance and drop between the two positions, Wang Ye quickly calculated an approximate pitch angle, and the exact pitch angle still needs to be finalized.
At that time, the artillery will first conduct a test shot.
Wei Dayong's team, as an observation team, will provide correction parameters based on the test launch.
As soon as the shooting Zhu Yuan of the No. 6 position was marked, the walkie-talkie carried by Wei Xilai lit up the indicator light.
Wang Ye stepped forward and grabbed the phone and asked, "This is Dong Liang, this is Dong Liang, where are you?" ”
"Hole two, hole two, I am hole three." Wei Dayong's voice immediately sounded on the opposite side, "Now I will report to you the specific coordinate parameters of the devil's artillery position and the material camp." ”
"Please wait a minute." Wang Ye immediately opened the notebook, picked up the pencil, and said, "Now I can talk about it." ”
Wei Dayong said: "There are three artillery positions of the 1st Division, and the central coordinates are xxx and yyy; aaa、bbb; CCC, DDD, and the coordinates of the material camp are ......"
Wang Ye quickly recorded it, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, Wei Dayong suddenly said again: "Dong Duo Dong Duo, I also found a strange target, a rapid strike force suspected of being a devil." ”
Rapid strike force? Wang Ye was stunned and asked, "Briefly explain the situation?" ”
Wei Dayong replied: "There are probably more than a thousand devils, and they haven't slept yet, and there are more than thirty trucks parked near these more than a thousand devils. ”
"!" Wang Ye scolded in a low voice and said, "Report the coordinates." ”
"Yes." Wei Dayong responded and reported the coordinates of the suspicious target.
Wang Ye quickly recorded the coordinates, and said: "Hole three, hole three, continue to monitor!" ”
As soon as Wei Dayong's No. 3 walkie-talkie fell silent, Li Yunlong's No. 1 walkie-talkie rang immediately.
"Dong Liang Dong Liang, I am Dong Yu, please answer." Li Yunlong said, "Dong Liang Dong Liang, I am Dong Yu, please answer." ”
"The hole two received, the hole two received." Wang Ye spread out the map and said, "The coordinates of the selected area are EEE and FFF, please come over immediately and repeat ......"
After Wang Ye finished speaking, Li Yunlong said: "Dong Yu received it, come immediately!" ”
It was said that it would arrive immediately, but it was really immediate, and after less than half an hour, Li Yunlong rushed to Wang Ye's side with three artillery battalions and a temporary heavy machine gun regiment.
Wang Ye was surprised: "Commander, why are you so fast?" ”
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Lao Tzu knew that it was this side as soon as he guessed." ”
Wang Ye stopped talking nonsense, and immediately handed over the three maps that had been marked to Lou Daqiang, Liu Mantank, and Tu Feng, the three artillery battalion commanders, and asked the heavy machine gun regiment to step up the construction of heavy machine gun fortifications.
Half an hour later, all three artillery battalions had all set up their positions.
Wang Ye turned on the walkie-talkie again and shouted: "Dong San, Dong San, I am Dong Liang." ”
Wei Dayong's reply soon came from the other side: "Dong San received, Dong San received, Dong two please come in." ”
Wang Ye glanced at the artillery who was about to stop, and said solemnly: "The artillery is about to be test-fired, pay attention to observation." ”
Wei Dayong replied: "Dong 3 received, Dong 3 received, artillery, please rest assured to test fire!" Our observation team will closely monitor the location of the shells! Repeat......"
Wang Ye bowed slightly.
Lou Daqiang immediately shouted: "One test shot at the No. 1 position!" ”
In the next moment, there was a tom from the artillery position.
……
At four o'clock in the morning, the camp of the 1st Division was still immersed in the quiet of the night.
Wei Dayong took Duan Peng and Liang Jun and lurked on an unnamed hill outside the devil's camp.
There was originally a lurking post of devils on this hill, but it had been killed by Wei Dayong.
Since it is a nighttime sentry post, there is no change of guard until dawn, so there is no worry about exposure.
Wei Dayong had already set up the artillery mirror, and aimed his vision at the devil's rapid strike force.
I saw that more than 1,000 devils of the rapid strike force still hadn't slept, and they gathered together in twos and threes to chat, and the guys of the cooking squad had also gotten up, busy preparing breakfast for the rapid strike unit.
At this moment, a faint streamer of light crossed the night sky.
Immediately after that, this streamer fell like a meteor in the devil's barracks.
However, the impact point of the bullet was a little off, not only did it not blow up the devils of the rapid strike force, but also did not blow up the car.
At that moment, Wei Dayong grabbed the microphone and said: "Hole two, hole two, the pitch angle drops by 5 denses, and the horizontal angle moves right by 10 denses, repeat, the pitch angle drops by 5 denses, and the horizontal angle moves right by 10 denses, and it's over!" ”
……
Five kilometers away, the artillery position of the northwest column of Jin.
Wang Ye said loudly: "The pitch angle drops by 5 cips, and the horizontal angle moves to the right by 10 cips, fast!" ”
Lou Daqiang, Liu Mangang and Tu Feng immediately shouted: "It's all there, the pitch angle drops by 5 denses, and the horizontal angle moves right by 10 denses, fast!" ”
The gunners of the 36 cannons turned the high and low machines and the steering machine slightly, and quickly adjusted them into place.
After a while, the 36 gunners shouted one after another, and Lou Daqiang shouted: "All of them, ten rapid fire!" ”
In the next moment, the gunners, ammunition men, and loaders of the 36 artillery groups immediately got busy, firing ten shells in the shortest possible time.
It took only two minutes for 36 artillery groups to complete ten rounds.
At this time, Tu Feng, Lou Daqiang, and Liu Manquan had already returned to their respective positions, and next, the three artillery battalions were about to fire shells at different coordinates.
Tu Feng and the three of them quickly issued an order to correct the shooting of Zhu Yuan.
The gunners frantically turned the high and low machines and the direction machine, and soon, the muzzles of the 36 75mm caliber mountain guns were pointed in three different directions, and then free fire began.
……
1st Division regimental camp.
Mitsuo Nakazawa was awakened from his sleep by the sound of a loud explosion.
When he picked up his saber and rushed outside the square-roofed tent, he saw that the camp of the rapid strike brigade near the north exit of the barracks had been blown into a sea of flames, especially the more than 30 trucks allocated to the rapid strike brigade, most of which had already caught fire and burned, and the soldiers of the rapid strike brigade were also blown up.
"Yaga!" Mitsuo Nakazawa felt that his brain was a little messy.
How does this say? The artillery of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army hid in the city of Laoxian, and even if they could reach the southern end of their 1st Division camp in the morning, they could still hit the northernmost part of the camp at night? The 75 mountain guns of the Eighth Route Army can be farther after night? It's going to be more than a dozen kilometers, right?
Just when Mitsuo Nakazawa was stunned, the scream of cannonballs sounded in the air again.
"Huh? Not from the direction of Laoxian? Now Nakazawa Sanfu heard clearly, "It's from the northwest?" The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army actually took advantage of the night to transfer its artillery to the northwest? ”
"Division commander? What just happened? Did the 386th Brigade launch a night attack? ”
Amid a slightly panicked shout, Chief of Staff Takahashi Manzo rushed over with a saber on his shoulder.
"Panic what." Sanfu Nakazawa snorted and said, "The sky can't fall." ”
As soon as the words fell, rows of shells had already fallen overwhelmingly in the barracks.
With the red light from the explosion of the shells, Mitsuo Nakazawa and Takahashi Mitsuzo were surprised to find that the three positions of the 3rd Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery and the 1st Wing of the Field Artillery were being shelled!
"Division commander, this is a premeditated attack!" Takahashi Mitsuzo immediately shouted, "It's just that this time the target is the 3rd Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery and the 1st Wing of the Field Artillery!" ”
"Damn it." Mitsuo Nakazawa gritted his teeth.
"The 386th Brigade is really unguardable!"
Takahashi Manzo said again: "Division commander, they must be stopped!" ”
When I turned my head, I just saw Katsuo Miyamoto, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, walking quickly.
Takahashi Mitsuzo immediately reminded Nakazawa Sanfu: "Division commander, quickly order the 2nd Cavalry Brigade to attack and destroy the artillery position of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time!" ”
Ordering the cavalry to attack is undoubtedly the best option.
Perhaps, it is simply the only viable option.
Command artillery to counterattack? In a hurry, I didn't know the exact location of the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, and I used artillery to counterattack without measuring the shooting elements.
Ordered the infantry to counterattack, it was too late in time.
Originally, there was also a rapid strike brigade, but unfortunately it has been blown up.
At that moment, Nakazawa Sanfu shouted sharply: "Miyamoto-kun, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade will attack immediately, find the artillery position of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time and destroy it!" ”
"Hello!" Katsuo Miyamoto paused, turned around and hurried away.
The next moment, there was an uproar in the camp of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade.
The devils of the 1st Division, whether they are infantry or cavalry, have really high tactical literacy.
In less than five minutes, the cavalry of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade quickly completed their assembly, and immediately rushed out of several camp gates on the north side like a flood that had burst the embankment.
The 2nd Cavalry Brigade has the 1st Cavalry Wing, the 15th Cavalry Wing, the 16th Cavalry Wing and the Mounted Artillery Wing, but the Mounted Artillery Wing was temporarily transferred to the 1st Field Artillery Wing, so there were only three cavalry wings in this sortie, but these three cavalry wings were all large wings with four cavalry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron.
Unlike the cavalry wings of some mountain divisions, it is a small wing with two squadrons, or a cavalry brigade.
In short, in less than ten minutes, the more than 4,000 cavalry of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade rushed out like a flood that burst the embankment, closely chasing the streamers in the night sky and killing all over the mountains and fields.
Although the reaction of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade was fast enough, Mitsuo Nakazawa was still too slow.
The reason is also very simple, because the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army fell like raindrops, and in just a few minutes, the two artillery positions of the 3rd Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery and the positions of the 1st Field Artillery Regiment were already blown into a sea of fire.
In the tumbling flames, you can clearly see that a team of artillery is rushing to the wolf, and from time to time there will be a ball of flame suddenly blooming, either the cannon is overturned by the air wave generated by the explosion, or the artillery is swallowed by the rolling flames, and in the blink of an eye, the three artillery positions have become a burning hell.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the artillery positions were not so dense.
Therefore, if the artillery of the Eighth Route Army wants to completely destroy the three artillery positions of the 1st Division, I am afraid it will not be so easy, because the 2nd Cavalry Brigade will never give them enough time.
……
On the nameless hill outside the barracks of the 1st Division.
Seeing that the three artillery positions of the Japanese army were blown into a sea of fire, Wei Dayong, Duan Peng and Liang Jun felt extremely happy for a while, this feeling was really refreshing!
However, Wei Dayong still did not forget their work.
Through the field of vision of the artillery team, Wei Dayong found that the impact point of the 1st Artillery Battalion was deviated.
At that moment, Wei Dayong grabbed the telephone and shouted: "Hole two hole two, I am hole three, the impact point of the 1st artillery battalion is deviated, the pitch angle rises by 6 dense, and the horizontal angle is called 8 dense. ”
Wang Ye's reply immediately came from the other side of the phone: "The two of them received it!" ”
A moment later, the 1st Artillery Battalion corrected the firing of Zhu Yuan, and the shells accurately landed on one of the artillery positions, overturning one large-caliber heavy gun after another on the ground, so cool!
In addition to the darkness, Wei Dayong said again: "Duan Peng, Junzi, pay attention to monitor the movements of the devil's material camp, and after the artillery destroys the artillery position of the 1st Division, we will continue to attack the devil's material camp!" ”
"Don't worry, monk." Duan Peng snorted, "I've been closely watching." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liang Jun suddenly roared: "Damn, a devil has rushed up!" ”
Wei Dayong turned his head sharply, and sure enough, he saw a team of devils rushing up under the moonlight with a 38 big cover.
There are only a dozen devils in this team, but they opened a wavy skirmish line dozens of meters wide, and at a glance, they knew that they were a group of veteran devils who had fought a hundred battles.
Liang Jun said: "It seems to be a patrol!" ”
I have to say that the tactical literacy of the devils of the 1st Division is really good, even if it is only a patrol, it can also use the results of the artillery bombardment of the division camp to push out the observation post that is likely to hide the artillery of the Eighth Route Army nearby, and then launched a search for several commanding heights that may serve as artillery observation posts.
As soon as they found the second commanding height, they found Wei Dayong and them.
"Fuck it!" Liang Jun cursed, "They're going to send a signal for help to the other patrols!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, one of the devil officers had already raised his flare gun and fired a red flare into the night sky.
"!" Wei Dayong cursed, didn't dare to be reckless, immediately jumped up from the hillside, and shouted while running to the back of the mountain, "Withdraw, retreat!" Evacuate! ”
Duan Peng and Liang Jun jumped up and ran.
