Chapter 1002 Lao Tzu wants to make dumplings today!
Boom Boom Boom ......
Jinju battlefield.
On the Japanese artillery positions, the muzzle fireworks continued to flicker, and one after another 75-mm shells crossed the arc in the sky and fell towards the deep position of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.
In the Japanese offensive positions, the 11th Cavalry Wing was ready.
The Japanese cavalry, who were short in stature but had sturdy bodies, and the Japanese cavalrymen of the Kwantung Army who were dressed like they were wearing them, drew their bright three-two cavalry swords.
More than a thousand white three-two cavalry knives shone dazzlingly in the sun.
A momentum called Sharp and Unstoppable does not emanate from the devil cavalry.
In terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight, the devil cavalry of the A division regiment is definitely the first echelon level of Asian cavalry.
Behind the devil cavalry, waves of little devils gathered in a large group.
However, each little devil is relatively scattered among each other, afraid of being attacked by the air force of the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time.
On the left and right flanks of the 11th Division, the Japanese 40th and 56th Divisions were also beginning to assemble and prepare for a stud attack.
However, since all the mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery wings of the three divisions and regiments were shelling the main positions of the Eighth Route Army.
The 40th Division and the 56th Division could only use a small number of mountain artillery and Type 92 infantry artillery to shell the positions of the Eighth Route Army.
Compared with the artillery fire endured by the main position, the left and right flank positions of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong were like scratching an itch.
But Masao Watanabe and Seiichi Aoki have no other way.
Eagle Mori Takashi wants a stud attack, and their two divisions can only follow up and press the last bargaining chip in their hands.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander."
"Our artillery has been shelling the positions of the Eighth Route Army for 20 minutes in a row, did you order to stop firing?"
In the headquarters of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, Seio Nishihara asked Takashi Takashi Takashi.
Takashi looked at the watch in his hand, and in the past 20 minutes, the locust army has poured at least 5,000 shells on the main position of the Eighth Route Army.
And there are not many shells left of their three wings.
Takashi walked quickly to the edge of the headquarters, stepped on the ladder again, raised the telescope on his chest and looked in the direction of the main position of the Eighth Route Army.
I saw the direction of the main position of the Eighth Route Army, and the smoke of gunpowder covered the sky and the sun.
"Order the 11th Cavalry Wing to attack immediately, and order all artillery brigades to stop firing immediately and immediately disperse and hide."
Takashi Takashi gave the order in an indifferent tone.
The best thing to do is to let the artillery wings continue the shelling and fire in the direction of the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.
Although there was no firing Zhuyuan from the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army, firing artillery in the direction of the positions of the Eighth Route Army could also play a somewhat suppressive role.
However, the Eighth Route Army had air support, and Takashi Takamori did not want his artillery wing to be devastated.
"Hey."
Seio Nishihara bowed his head suddenly.
Then he turned and walked to the phone, grabbed the phone, and quickly turned the handle.
……
In the attack position of the 11th Wing of the Devil Cavalry, the commander of the cavalry wing, Tanigawa Kanji Osa, who received the order to attack, raised the general's sword in his hand high and shouted hysterically:
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
The more than 1,000 devil cavalry behind him raised the 32-style cavalry knife in their hands and shouted loudly.
More than 1,000 Type 32 cavalry knives are chilling in the sunlight!
The 11th Cavalry Wing was at full strength before today, with a total of more than 1,300 cavalry, under the jurisdiction of 1 cavalry artillery squadron, 1 heavy machine gun squadron and 3 cavalry squadrons.
However, in the morning, the 11th Cavalry Wing was killed by the planes of the Eighth Route Army, and nearly 200 cavalry.
Compared with the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong on the opposite side, the cavalry strength of the devils is even less.
"Kill and give..."
The general's sword in the hand of General Tanigawa suddenly pointed forward, and took the lead in urging the war horse to run forward.
As Tanigawa moved forward, more than a thousand war horses behind him began to step forward.
The horses first jogged, then slowly accelerated.
As the horse's hooves rolled, monstrous smoke and dust quickly rose up.
The devil cavalry had hideous faces, and their mouths were roaring with the sound of horses' hooves.
It was like a yellow wave sweeping towards the main position of the Eighth Route Army.
……
"Report to the chief, the devil has dispatched a cavalry wing and is attacking my main position!"
In the General Headquarters of the Jizhong Army.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the communications staff officer answered the phone and reported to District Chief Lu in a solemn tone.
The devils did not pour much artillery fire on the forward positions, and this wave of artillery shelling by the devils was mainly aimed at the deep positions of the Eighth Route Army.
Because the main strength of the Eighth Route Army, when the devils are shelling, they will retreat to the anti-artillery holes in the deep positions.
During the shelling, the telephone lines of the forward positions and the headquarters were blown up by the shells of the devils.
But it's not a big problem, the scouts in the forward positions are equipped with walkie-talkies.
The situation of the devil's cavalry attacking the position, the scout immediately used a walkie-talkie to report directly to the command.
"The target of the devil cavalry is likely to be our artillery position!"
"Send the infantry up, it's too late!"
District Chief Lu frowned slightly:
"Immediately send out a cavalry regiment to meet the devil cavalry!"
This battle has been fought so far, both sides have played with their lives, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops are not small.
But.
The Jizhong troops must hold out until the main force of the new regiment arrives.
And the devil wants to defeat the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong before the main force of the new regiment arrives.
"Yes!"
The communications staff officer straightened up, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie:
"Call the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, call the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, this is the Jizhong Headquarters, order you to immediately go to the direction of the main position to meet the Japanese cavalry wing!"
District Chief Lu raised his wrist and looked at the watch in his hand.
In a few minutes, air support from a new regiment arrived.
The sound of the devil's cannon is starting to become a little sparse.
Within a few minutes, the devils will definitely not disperse and conceal the three artillery wings so quickly, and the planes of the new regiment should be able to gain a lot.
……
With the order of the Jizhong Command was issued.
Not far from the main position.
"Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, get on the horse!"
The commander of the newly formed Jizhong Cavalry Regiment put away the walkie-talkie, turned over and shouted loudly.
Behind him, more than a thousand soldiers of the cavalry regiment brushed their horses together.
The original Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has been merged into the new regiment and has become the 2nd cavalry battalion of the new regiment.
After the 16th Cavalry Wing of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army was killed, the Eighth Route Army of Jizhong captured almost all the military horses of the 16th Wing of the Devil Cavalry.
Li Yunlong also gave the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei a batch of equipment for a reinforced cavalry regiment, including Yunlong knives and carbines.
Therefore, the head of the Jizhong Military Region reorganized the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.
After half a year of training and equipment strengthening, the New Jizhong Cavalry Regiment carried forward the spirit of the bloody struggle of the old Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.
The combat effectiveness of the new Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has surpassed that of the old Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.
"Shoot with a carbine at a distance, slash with a saber when you are close!"
"Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, attack the enemy!"
With the order of the cavalry commander, the soldiers followed the cavalry commander and went up in the direction of the main position.
On the terrain of Pingchuan, the Jizhong troops were equipped with a large number of Czech and Makqin.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong placed dozens of Makqin and dozens of Czechs on the front, the devil's cavalry would have to die as many as they came.
But.
This time the devil attacked, and it was different from the previous attack.
The devils gathered 3 artillery wings and covered the forward positions and deep positions of the main position.
Any Maxim and Czech that was placed in positions was shelled.
Moreover, when the devil's cavalry was charging, the devil's artillery did not immediately stop the shelling, but waited until the devil's cavalry was about to enter the forward position, and the devil stopped firing.
The devil gave the troops of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei to show a wave of ultra-high-level cavalry and artillery coordination.
In the face of the devil's attacking infantry, the Eighth Route Army still had the opportunity to wait for the devil's artillery to end, and then set up Makqin and Czech.
But in the face of the coordinated attack of the devil's cavalry artillery, there is simply not so much time to set up artillery.
What's more, in the artillery bombardment covered by the devil's artillery, the deep positions of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong suffered heavy casualties.
And the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong has not yet had time to play.
The cavalry of the devils had already attacked the forward position of the main position of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.
However, at this time, there were not a few Eighth Route Corps on the main position of the Eighth Route Army, only a few scouts of the Eighth Route Army.
These scouts of the Eighth Route Army cleverly buried themselves in the dirt, or pretended to be dead and lay under the corpses.
Without encountering the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, Tanigawa Kanji, the commander of the Devil Cavalry Wing, did not feel strange, and continued to urge the war horse forward.
Their combat goal was not the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, but the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army!
The infantry of the Eighth Route Army can be handed over to the infantry of the Locust Army behind.
As long as the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army were killed, the infantry could directly rush to the positions of the Eighth Route Army.
At this moment, a rain of bullets hit, and more than a dozen elite Japanese cavalry suddenly fell around Tanigawa.
A crackling gunshot also reached his ears.
"Nani?"
Tanigawa's pupils shrank.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army set up heavy machine guns?
So fast?
The position of the Eighth Route Army in front was filled with gunsmoke, and Tanigawa Kanji Osa couldn't see it very clearly, only knowing that dozens of elite Japanese cavalry fell in an instant in a few breaths.
In the smoke of gunpowder.
The shouts of killing and the roaring sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and one by one the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army came out of the smoke and killed the Japanese cavalry wing.
"Kill and give..."
Tanigawa did not show weakness and rushed towards the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.
The faces of the devil cavalry behind him showed hideous killing intent.
More and more cavalry of the Eighth Route Army came out, forming a gray tide, the two tides suddenly collided, countless white cavalry knives waved, and the two anti-counters slashed without cover.
The sword flickered, and the blood arrows flew out.
The offensive of the Devil Cavalry Wing was hindered, and the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were brought into play, and they continued to fire artillery at the front of the position to provide artillery support for the infantry.
Meantime.
On the orders of the Jizhong command, the reserve machine-gun units immediately moved around the artillery positions, erected the Maxim and Czech, and protected the artillery positions.
The devils even sent logistics units such as the Engineer Wing and the Baggage Wing.
At the same time, the command of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong also sent all the reserves.
The huge battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, the sound of artillery shook the sky, and the gunfire rang out like popping beans.
The battle is heating up again.
……
Just when the battle on the ground was in full swing.
23 Sabre fighters of the new separate fighter squadron of the 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army arrived.
At this time, the devil artillery had just withdrawn the mountain artillery from the artillery position.
The devil's mountain cannon is relatively heavy, and it must rely on mules or military horses to pull it.
The devils were preparing to pull 75-mm mountain guns and 75-mm field guns to hide in the pit not far away.
In order to prevent the artillery wing from being bombed by the planes of the new regiment, the devils dug a pit for each mountain gun and field gun, pushed the cannon into the pit, and hid it with tree branches or camouflage nets above.
This method effectively avoided the bombing of the planes of the Eighth Route Army in the previous waves.
But.
In order to prevent the artillery wing from being wiped out in one pot, the devil's artillery pits were repaired more scattered.
Some mountain artillery and field artillery have been pushed into the pit by the devils and hidden with branches or camouflage nets.
But some mountain and field guns were still being pulled by mules or military horses on the way to the gun pit.
As for the 94 trucks with guns and shells of the devils, they were hidden by the devils in the woods farther away.
Once the devils dispatch these 94-type trucks, they will be the live targets of the planes of the Eighth Route Army.
This time, the combat mission of the independent fighter squadron was to bomb the artillery positions of the devils.
So.
For the battle on the ground, the pilots only looked twice and then withdrew their gaze.
After a while, Yanagisawa and the pilots saw the devil artillery unit on the ground, and then did not hesitate to dive down in the Sabre fighter.
Seeing this, the devil artillerymen did not hesitate to abandon the artillery and run wildly.
But.
How can the legs of a devil outrun the speed of a Sabre fighter?
Fighter jets swept past from low altitudes, and huge napalm bombs fell.
With the sound of explosions all over the sky, one by one the devil artillery was burned to ashes, and a mountain cannon and field artillery were melted into molten iron.
"Yaga!" In the distant command headquarters, Takamori Takashi, who saw this scene with a telescope, suddenly burst into tears.
Although they were prepared, the planes of the Eighth Route Army still came too fast...
……
An hour later.
"Regiment commander, our vanguard is only 5 kilometers away from the Jinju battlefield!"
Wang Dehou stepped out of the telecommunications detection car and said to Li Yunlong, who was wearing a black leather coat and sunglasses and was sitting in the back seat of the jeep.
If a certain five-star general does not look like he is holding a pipe, he will have a bit of Li Yunlong's style.
"What is the current situation on the Jinju battlefield?"
Li Yunlong asked.
The Separate Fighter Squadron reported to the regimental headquarters the situation of the heavy damage to the Devil artillery unit.
And.
The independent fighter squadron flew over the heads of the new regiment of ground marching troops on the way to the Jinju battlefield and back to the Taiyuan airfield.
Every time the fighter flew overhead, a new regiment of infantry on the ground would wave to the sky and let out a howl of excitement.
There are their own planes of the Eighth Route Army in the air, this damn sense of security!
"Just now the command of the Jizhong Military Region sent a telegram, and at this time the two sides are still continuing to fight, and the battle has entered a white heat."
"The devil sent all the logistics troops to the battlefield, and the Jizhong Military Region pressed all the logistics troops up."
"Judging from the current situation, the devil doesn't know that our new regiment of troops is approaching!"
Wang Dehou replied to Li Yunlong.
"Haha!" When Li Yunlong heard this, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, "One Class A Division, two Division B Divisions, God wants our old Li to make a fortune!" ”
"Pass my order, let the Katyusha rocket artillery unit first cover the devil area with a wave of artillery fire."
"The interspersed troops immediately pressed up from the north."
"The heavy tank battalion troops immediately pressed up from the east, and the cavalry troops blocked the devils from fleeing south."
"Lao Tzu wants to make dumplings today!"
Li Yunlong gave the order in an arrogant tone.
"Yes!"
Wang Dehou straightened up, and immediately turned around and went to give the order.
