"Then fight resolutely."

Kong Jie said: "Once the battle begins, if we and the remnants of the devils under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong fight until dawn, the encirclement network around Qianjia Town will inevitably be bombed by the devil's air force fighters. ”。

"We don't have too many heavy weapons that can shoot at the air, and we can't effectively strike at the bombers and fighters of the devils."

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "Not bad." ”。

"Air defense is indeed a big problem for us right now, so we must solve the remnants of the devils under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong before dawn. Fortunately, there are still more than five hours before dawn, Lao Ding Lao Kong, five hours should be enough for us to gnaw away the old devil Nakamura Zhenxiong. ”

Ding Wei and Kong Jie nodded, more than five hours, even if it was an hour, the troops under the command of everyone worked together to eat the strength of the six squadrons of the devil, that is, the strength of about 1,500 people.

In more than five hours, that is, at dawn, it will probably be able to annihilate the remnants of the devils commanded by Nakamura Zhenxiong.

"Without further ado, let's get ready to fight!"

Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment, said with a serious expression.

"Good! It's two twenty-five o'clock, and we're besieging Qianjia Town at half past two in the morning! ”

Li Yunlong said directly.

"Okay, Lao Li!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie said in unison, and they were very confident!

Subsequently, Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately left Li Yunlong's temporary field headquarters and returned to their respective unit command positions to prepare for the deployment of the attack.

In order to be able to block the army of devils commanded by Zhenxiong Nakamura in Qianjia Town, the devils can be eliminated as soon as possible in the subsequent battles.

After the battle in Shuocheng with the main force of the first battalion of the independent regiment commanded by Zhang Dabiao, Ding Wei and Kong Jie brought over more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns and a large number of shells captured by the 15th Brigade of the Annihilation Devil.

Together with the pursuing troops commanded by Li Yunlong, there were probably more than 20 artillery pieces in total.

Coupled with the large number of mortars carried by the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, the artillery fire power was enough to crush the devils in Qianjia Town.

At this time, within the town of Qianjia, the devil commanded by Zhenxiong Nakamura had the strength of five artillery squadrons before him.

However, after the peak of Meow and the artillery attack under the city of Qingzhou, the number of its artillery pieces was only eighteen.

Looking at the number of artillery pieces on both sides of the enemy and us, there was not much difference between the number of artillery shells in the remaining units under his command, such as the 9th Brigade under his command, after Nakamura Zhenxiong ran all the way to Qianjia Town.

At this time, in the town of Qianjia Town, in the temporary headquarters of Nakamura Zhenxiong.

"Division Commander."

Chief of Staff Kita Tatsujiro quickly reported the situation of each department, especially the ammunition situation, to Nakamura Zhenxiong urgently: "From five o'clock in the morning yesterday to now, although I have received support from the 7th Brigade. ”。

"There was also an airdrop supply under Qingzhou City before, but the number of airdropped supplies was not much, and we also consumed a lot of shells and bullets under Qingzhou City and in the attack on Meow Peak."

After a pause, Kita Taijiro continued, "Division Commander, based on the latest ammunition reserves of various departments, we can only fight for more than three hours at most. ”

"After more than three hours of fighting, our ammunition reserves will be exhausted."

Nakamura Zhenxiong was looking at the map at this time, and when he heard this, he looked up and asked Kita Taijiro, "How is the situation with our artillery and shells?" ”。

"Not optimistic, division commander."

Kita Taijiro said in a condensed voice: "After we received reinforcements from the 7th Brigade before, the number of artillery pieces was more than thirty. ”。

"But up to now, more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns have been lost in the battle. At present, the total number of artillery pieces of the 9th Brigade and other units is only eighteen, and there are not many mortars. ”

After a pause, Kita Taijiro continued, "The most important thing is that the division commander, there are not many shells in reserve. ”

"I'm afraid that half an hour of shelling will consume our main artillery shells."

"And now it's night, and the wind is blowing again, even if the Imperial Army's transport plane formation can take off in the dark and replenish us with air-dropped ammunition. However, with the current wind, the airdrop is very difficult. Even if it is airdropped, in the case of wind, there is a high probability that the airdropped materials will be blown into the mountains and mountains on the periphery of Qianjia Town. ”

"And at present, the periphery of Qianjia Town is under the encirclement and control of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, even if we send troops out of the town to snatch the airdropped supplies, in this kind of night situation, we can only find our own death, division commander. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Kita Taijiro's mood was helpless and bitter.

At this time, I really can only rely on myself.

Sure enough, when Nakamura Zhenxiong heard this, his brows furrowed.

Unexpectedly, the situation of ammunition made Nakamura Zhenxiong feel the crisis.

Once you run out of ammunition, even if you have weapons and equipment in your hands, they are just burning sticks.

It's not even as good as a burning stick.

"The situation with the ammunition, I know."

Nakamura Zhenxiong said to Kita Taijiro in a condensed voice: "Send a report to the air transport unit and request that we be immediately airdropped and reinforced. ”。

Even if you only get some airdrop materials that fall into Qianjia Town, it's better than nothing. ”

Seeing this, Kita Taijiro immediately said to a communications staff officer beside him: "Immediately follow the order of His Excellency the General, send a telegram to the transport aircraft unit, requesting the support of airdrop supplies." ”。

"Yes, Chief of Staff, Your Excellency General."

The Devil's Communications Staff Officer immediately stood upright, and then walked to the side of the headquarters and ordered the Devil's Communication Corps under his command to send a report to the transport plane unit, requesting that supplies be airdropped at night.

After the communications staff officer stepped aside and ordered the devil communication troops under his command to send a report, Kita Taijiro continued to say to Nakamura Zhenxiong: "Your Excellency General, according to the report of the troops defending the peripheral positions around Qianjia Town, the troops of the Eighth Route Army surrounding Qianjia Town are approaching. ”。

"The peripheral troops have begun to exchange fire in a piecemeal manner."

Nakamura Zhenxiong nodded and said, "The gunfire is scattered, but the bigger attack is still behind." ”。

"All the ministries have already defended according to the previous deployment?"

Kita Taijiro nodded and said, "General Yoshikawa Shojiro and others have made emergency deployments in accordance with the instructions of the division commander. ”。

"Fortunately, in Qianjia Town, there are many buildings, and most of them are made of rocks from the surrounding mountains and mountains. Division commander, we still have a certain defensive advantage by relying on Qianjiazhen for defense. ”

Nakamura Zhenxiong bowed, but then frowned and said thoughtfully: "But our ammunition needs to be used sparingly in the next battle." ”。

"I have given orders to the subordinates to conserve ammunition, division commander."

Kita Taijiro said.

"Good! Then get ready for battle! I want to see if the troops of the Eighth Route Army that surrounded us can still eat us? ”

Nakamura Zhenxiong said with a sneer.

At this moment, there is no room for cowardice.

As both sides have begun to prepare for the night battle in Qianjia Town, the battle is already on the verge of breaking out.

At half past two o'clock in the morning, with three signal flares under Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment with signal guns fired into the night sky.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Three flares exploded in the night sky, and the white dazzling fire was very shining, and the night sky suddenly lit up.

The flare exploding is the order to attack!

All of a sudden, with the independent regiment surrounded by Qianjia Town, the men and horses dispatched by the new 1st regiment and the new 2nd regiment saw it at the same time, and began to attack Qianjia Town.

"Da !!"

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

With the sound of gunfire and cannons, the night battle in Qianjia Town began.

I saw that Li Yunlong personally sat in the temporary headquarters behind a mountain area west of Qianjia Town, and the commander-in-chief Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troops and the third and fourth battalions of the Independent Regiment carried out a fierce attack on Qianjia Town.

At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and other units, in accordance with Li Yunlong's orders, fought steadily.

"Woo Woo !!"

With a piercing scream, a series of visible cannonball tails swept through the night sky at high speed, and then smashed down in the terrified eyes of the devil soldiers guarding Qianjia Town.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Countless shells roared and smashed into Qianjia Town, blowing up clouds of dazzling red light and smoke.

In the midst of the explosion, there was a scream of the ghost soldiers who were blown up.

And the person responsible for the shelling of Qianjia Town was Wang Chenghai, the commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, who commanded all the artillery, including the artillery brought by Ding Wei and Kong Jie from Shuocheng to annihilate the 15th Brigade of the Devil.

I saw that Wang Chenghai aimed the concentrated artillery at the area in Qianjia Town, where the devils were very likely to focus on defense, and carried out a key artillery bombardment.

Because the common people in Qianjia Town had already asked Li Yunlong to contact the Eighth Route Army troops and horses who were conducting guerrilla operations behind enemy lines around Qianjia Town through the radio before the devil army under the command of Nakamura Zhenxiong arrived in Qianjia Town, these men and horses of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines had already moved the people of Qianjia Town to the nearby mountains and mountains to hide.

Therefore, Wang Chenghai did not have any worries about carrying out artillery strikes on the areas where the devils in Qianjia Town could focus on defending, otherwise, it would be impossible to fire artillery unscrupulously.

As Wang Chenghai personally commanded the concentrated artillery to bombard the town of Qianjia Town, the flames of the explosion immediately became very obvious in the night.

Although the town of Qianjia Town is also relatively large, the terrain is still very narrow and long, and it is basically laid out along the mountains on both sides of the mountain road.

Therefore, Wang Chenghai, as the commander of the artillery company of the independent regiment, directly directed the artillery to carry out key artillery bombardment on the east and west sides of Qianjia Town, and the north and south directions were just simple shelling.

This hand, the devils in Qianjia Town immediately blew up and cried for their fathers and mothers.

As a last resort, Nakamura Zhenxiong, who was sitting in the headquarters of Qianjia Town, could only order the artillery to counterattack immediately.

"Hurry up, order the artillery to fire a counterattack, suppress the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, hurry up."

Zheno Nakamura immediately said to Kita Taijiro.

"Yes, division commander."

Kita Taijiro also knows the current situation, and he can't take the shelling and not return fire, and he is responsible for the huge impact on morale.

Soon, the devil's artillery counterattack began.

"Hahaha, the little devil's artillery counterattack is coming, brothers, seize the devil's artillery position, give me a blast!"

Wang Chenghai is worthy of being the commander of the artillery company of the independent regiment, inheriting the artillery skills of his brother Wang Chengzhu, and immediately calculated the artillery distance of the devil from the counterattack trajectory of the devil's artillery in Qianjia Town at night, and immediately commanded the artillery to immediately carry out a rapid artillery attack on the devil's artillery position.

"Yes, company commander."

All the artillery fighters immediately responded to the call, and then adjusted the coordinates of the shelling, loaded the shells and immediately opened fire in a cluster shell.

"Tom !!"

With the sound of shells firing one after another, one shell after another smashed into the devil's artillery position at high speed.

In Qianjia Town, the commander of a certain devil artillery position saw the tail flame of the shells coming from the west of Qianjia Town in the night, and immediately said in horror: "Baga, how is it possible? Finding our artillery position so quickly! ”。

"Move the artillery!"

After the last sentence, the commander of the devil artillery roared heartbreakingly!

However, the shell came in an instant, and smashed down under the terrified gaze of the devil artillery commander.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

A huge explosion, which exploded on the artillery positions of the devils.

In particular, at least eight or nine of these shells smashed into the devil's artillery pile, which directly triggered the detonation of the shells.

The power of the martyrdom explosion was huge, and it directly blew up the eighteen Type 92 infantry guns on the devil's artillery position in Qianjia Town into primitive parts.

The artillery on the Devil's artillery position, including the Japanese soldiers of a squad protecting the artillery position, were directly blown to ashes by the power of the martyrdom.

Some of these devil artillerymen stood right next to the shell pile that was hit, causing the explosion and being vaporized directly by the explosion.

In the headquarters of Qianjia Town, Nakamura Zhenxiong also felt the huge shock wave after the explosion of the artillery position, and he was almost not hit by the pillar that fell down from the shock wave!

Fortunately, he was quickly pulled aside by Kita Taijiro's eyes, otherwise he might really be stoned to death by the pillar that shook down!

"What's the situation?"

After Nakamura Zhenxiong came back to his senses, he immediately said to Kita Taijiro: "Kita-kun, hurry up and send someone to take a look." ”。

"Yes, division commander."

Kita Taijiro actually roughly understood what the situation was, but he still said a lot.

When the devils sent out came back to report that the artillery position had been blown up, and all the artillery, as well as a large part of the mortars, had been blown into parts, Nakamura Zhenxiong immediately vomited blood.

"All the artillery on the artillery positions, all finished?"

Nakamura Zhenxiong still couldn't believe it, and when he caught the ghost soldier who came back to report the situation, he roared angrily: "How is it possible? How can it be? ”。

"Your Excellency, General."

The devil soldier who ran back to report the situation said in horror: "The artillery position was indeed quickly hit by the enemy's artillery counterattack, and some of the shells hit the shell pile, causing a martyrdom. ”。

"On the artillery position, not a single intact Type 92 infantry gun does not exist, Your Excellency General."

Nakamura Zhenxiong let go of the collar of the ghost soldier's shirt he was grasping, and then muttered, "How is it possible, how is it possible?" ”。
