With Li Yunlong's order, it was issued.

The cavalry battalions, which were originally at the rear, suddenly increased their speed and rushed towards the southern part of the Jinju battlefield.

And the truck loaded with Katyusha rocket launchers at the front of the team also increased its speed sharply.

Meantime.

Sun Desheng led more than 200 tanks, and he also suddenly accelerated his speed, stepped on the accelerator to more than 40 kilometers per hour, and turned on the hurricane mode!

And the Sword Squadron was under the leadership of Duan Peng.

Served as an observer for the Katyusha rocket artillery units, as well as for the vanguard reconnaissance unit of the entire unit.

Having arrived at the area of 5 kilometers from the Jinju battlefield on horseback, he heard the sound of huge artillery booming in the distance.

Just now, it was Duan Peng who made a report to Wang Dehou.

Duan Peng led the Sword Squadron to continue forward, and the new regiment of Katyusha rocket artillery units stopped at a distance of about 4 kilometers from the battlefield.

Three Katyusha rocket artillery battalions, each equipped with 24 rocket artillery vehicles.

A total of 72 Katyusha rocket artillery vehicles stopped at a distance of 4 kilometers from the Jinju battlefield and were ready for launch.

And this is not yet all the Katyusha rocket artillery units of the new regiment.

In the last Zhengtai Campaign, in terms of the number of Katyusha rocket artillery, Li Yunlong also made a lot of money.

Even if half of the headquarters is handed over, the new regiment still has 80 Katyusha rocket launchers!

Together with the original number of Katyusha rocket artillery, the new regiment now has 6 Katyusha rocket artillery battalions, each of which is equipped with 24 rocket artillery pieces.

In this way, 72 Katyusha rocket artillery vehicles were arranged on both sides of the road in battalion units, and the front of the vehicles pointed in the direction of the Jinju battlefield.

On the road, Leopard tanks, Xiafei tanks and Spitfire tanks drove by at full speed.

The crunching metal crash of the tracks and the roar of the engines produced by the system give the fighters a sense of reliability that is too pleasant to refuse.

At the tail of each tank, a large fuel tank is loaded.

On either side of the tank's turret sat a new group of elite fighters wearing straw rings and carrying five or six guns.

The scene was extremely shocking.

"Ruler four hundred and fifty-seven, to the right zero fifty-three..."

In the walkie-talkies of each rocket artillery battalion, the commanders of each rocket artillery battalion heard Duan Peng's shooting Zhu Yuan at the same time.

After hearing this, the commanders of the artillery battalions quickly and loudly conveyed the firing elements to the artillery positions.

These battalion commanders were all promoted from artillery company commanders.

There was a sound of crunching handles turning, and the Katyusha rocket artillery on the gun positions of each battalion was quickly raised, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the Jinju battlefield.

After half a year of artillery and a large amount of live-fire training, the Katyusha rocket artillery battalions of the new regiment have formed combat effectiveness.

Although the movements of the artillery fighters are not yet at the level of perfection, they are already very skilled.

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

On the positions of the Katyusha rocket artillery battalions, the battalion commanders gave orders, and the rear flag commanders also suddenly put down the command flags in their hands.

Almost at the same time, in the cab of each Katyusha rocket launcher, the artilleryman responsible for firing pressed the red launch button of the Katyusha rocket launcher.

Whoa, who

With the press of the launch button, the fuel of the rocket was ignited in an instant, and the flame suddenly erupted from the tail of the rocket, and the rocket was pushed out of the guide rail under the reaction force, cutting a graceful arc in the sky.

In just over 10 seconds, 1,152 132-mm high-explosive rockets flew into the air with long red tail flames.

Dense rockets filled the sky in an instant.

The fighters of the Katyusha rocket artillery battalions looked at this scene with excited expressions.

For artillerymen, firing shells and explosions is an artilleryman's favorite.

In particular, the shells that were fired exploded in the enemy's formation, and no artilleryman could withstand it.

On the rear road.

At a distance of 300 meters from the Katyusha rocket launchers, Li Yunlong and Chief of Staff Wang Dehou, who arrived in a jeep, also happened to see this scene.

"Regiment commander, this is called accurate strikes if you are poor, and firepower coverage if you are rich."

Wang Dehou smiled slightly and said to Li Yunlong:

"But in your words, if you call it rich, you will fry it for Lao Tzu."

The only people who led the troops to the Jinju battlefield were Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou, as well as some officers and staff officers.

And Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo, as well as some other officers and staff officers.

At this time, he was still in Shimen City and Zhengding, commanding the siege and mobilizing the follow-up main forces, while Zhang Wanhe was responsible for coordinating the mobilization of combat materials.

Not far from the convoy of the regiment headquarters, on a Jiefang truck, several reporters accompanying the army from the "Xinhua Daily" and the "Border District Daily" captured this spectacular scene with their cameras.

In addition to filming with a camera, the new regiment's military art team also used Boss Chen's camera to film this scene.

"Haha." Li Yunlong suddenly smiled and said, "This Katyusha rocket launcher is indeed a bit interesting. ”

If there are outsiders present, Li Yunlong has to pretend to be forced, what kind of firepower is this.

However, Wang Dehou is his own person, so it is not interesting to pretend to be forced.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "The firepower of this thing is strong, but the number is still too small, our new regiment has a total of more than 140 doors, plus the headquarters, the new second regiment and the independent regiment, there are only more than 300 in total." ”

"According to the information provided by Boss Chen, the Soviet Union in our north is equipped with thousands of Katyusha rocket launchers alone."

"We need to equip thousands of doors for this thing."

"Thousands?" Wang Dehou was taken aback.

"Of course." Li Yunlong said in a calm tone, "I don't think a few thousand doors are enough, otherwise what will we use to counterattack the Japanese mainland?" ”

As the two spoke, the Katyusha rocket disappeared in the air and crashed in the direction of the Jinju battlefield.

……

Near the location of a forest on the battlefield of Jinju.

Duan Peng put down the walkie-talkie in his hand.

He held up his binoculars and looked in the direction of the woods.

Even though the devil was well disguised, he was still found after the members of the Sword Squadron approached and reconnoitred.

The forest is very large, and the woods are very dense, and a road passes through the forest.

The reconnaissance planes of the new regiment carried out reconnaissance here many times, but found nothing.

"Captain, just now our team members dressed as devils went around the forest, and found that there were a large number of devil baggage troops hidden in the woods, and found at least hundreds of trucks, and hundreds of mules and horses, and the trucks were full of devils' ammunition."

Wang Xikui, the vice captain of the sword, reported to Duan Peng.

"Finally found it!" Duan Peng sneered, with a rich expression on his face, "I'll just say, this little devil has a first-class division and two second-class divisions, and it is impossible for him not to be equipped with a car." ”

According to the information from the air force, the baggage troops of the devils have not yet been found.

"How many devils are there?" Duan Peng asked.

"A thousand or so, Captain, him?"

Wang Xikui shook the 12.7mm large-caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand, and his expression was eager to try.

This large-caliber sniper rifle is the same as that of Political Commissar Zhao.

At present, there are only two of the entire New First Regiment, and even the entire Eighth Route Army.

One is at Commissar Zhao's place, and the other is at Wang Xikui's place.

After a pause, Wang Xikui continued: "We can call the Katyusha rocket launcher, cover the forest in front of us with artillery fire, call air support, and roast the devil with napalm!" ”

"Or simply... Our sword brigade did this work by itself, defeated the three baggage wings of the devil, and captured a large number of war materials, which is a great achievement! ”

That's when it happened.

A large and pleasant "Xiu Xiu Xiu" sound sounded in the sky, and the rapid and continuous sound of breaking the air sounded.

Duan Peng and Wang Xikui couldn't help but raise their heads and look up.

I saw dense rockets flying overhead with flame trails, smashing in the direction of the Japanese infantry in the distance.

In Duan Peng and Wang Xikui, they could only see the general situation of the battlefield in the distance, but could not see the specific situation.

If you go further, you will be discovered by the devil's scouts, and the devil scouts of the A division are not vegetarians.

Even if Duan Peng and Wang Xikui were wearing devils' military uniforms, every member of the team could speak Japanese, and some were even proficient in Japanese.

But Duan Peng and the others didn't dare to get too close.

This time, the artillery fire led by Duan Peng was not a heavy army of bombers.

Rather, it is to bomb the rear area of the devil's attacking troops.

Even if the formation of the devils is very scattered, this wave of thousands of Katyusha rockets can still bring hundreds of millions of small shocks and casualties to the devils.

The rockets quickly landed, bursting out huge fireballs, and the area covered by the rockets instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Boom Boom!

After a few seconds, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the mountains shook the mountains, and the thunderous explosion exploded in the vast sky, and it rumbled over.

These rockets did not blow up in the direction of the central battlefield.

At this time, on the battlefield, many Japanese troops and the Eighth Route Army troops were entangled together, if the rockets flew on the battlefield, although the power was terrifying, but it would also hurt the brother troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.

Pay for one's whistle.

Therefore, Duan Peng led the artillery bombardment to the rear area of the devil.

There are not many devils in this area, there are devil infantry, there are devil artillery units, and even... There is also the division headquarters of the devils.

Of course, whether you can kill the division headquarters of the devil depends on some luck.

Although they had seen Katyusha's firepower, seeing this scene, Duan Peng and Wang Xikui still had slightly dilated pupils.

This firepower, with energy!

……

The soldiers of the Sword Brigade felt excited.

But at this time, the devils don't feel so energetic.

When the first shell landed and exploded, the attention of all the devils in the rear of the entire Jinju battlefield turned to this side.

This was followed by an overwhelming explosion.

The power of a 132-mm rocket is equivalent to the power of a Soviet-style 152-mm high-explosive grenade.

In a dozen seconds, more than 1,000 rockets were all blown up, and the destructive power and momentum brought by them were extremely terrifying.

A huge shock wave suddenly spread from the ground to the headquarters of the 11th Division, and Takashi Takamori, who was standing on the ladder and observing the battlefield, suddenly stumbled and quickly reached out to hold the ladder.

And Seio Nishihara, who was standing at the table, fell directly to the ground.

All the attention of Takashi Takamori and Seio Nishihara was focused on the direction of the battlefield, and the battle had reached the most critical moment.

The Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong fought with all their strength.

An overwhelming explosion suddenly sounded from the left rear, which made Takashi Takamori, Seio Nishihara, and the ghost officers be startled on the spot for a moment.

The whole ground shook, and the wooden beams overhead were creaked as if they were about to collapse at any moment, and the earth poured down.

"Yagayalu?"

"What happened?"

Lieutenant General Takashi Takashi Takamori asked in shock.

The explosion didn't last long before it stopped, and Takashi Takamori and Seio Nishihara raised their binoculars to look in the direction of the explosion.

I saw that the overwhelming smoke of gunpowder made the sun and the moon dull.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the direction of the headquarters of the 56th Division was shelled."

Seio Nishihara said, and suddenly his face changed:

"It's not good, Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe is afraid that it is..."

"How is this possible?"

Lieutenant General Takashi Takamori's face was full of disbelief.

The artillery fire just now, judging by the sound of the explosion alone, is not inferior to the explosion of the 150-mm high-explosive grenade of the locust army.

And the explosion just now was definitely at least hundreds of heavy artillery fire, and at the same time it was firing in the direction of the 56th Division.

"Bagaya Road, the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong still has such firepower?" Nishihara Seifu's face changed suddenly, he lost his usual composure, and said angrily, "This should be the hole card of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, at the most critical time, use heavy artillery firepower to behead the headquarters of the Locust Army, so as to win the victory in this battle, Your Excellency the division commander is dangerous here, we must turn in immediately!" At the same time, let the headquarters of the 40th Division immediately turn in! ”

"That's not right!"

Takashi Mori looked gloomy:

"This is not the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, if the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong had such strong artillery firepower, it would have defeated our three divisions a long time ago!"

"Definitely won't wait until now!"

Hundreds of heavy artillery pieces opened fire at the same time, and three more divisions could not withstand it, let alone their three divisions.

"And where did such powerful artillery fire come from?"

Seio Nishihara asked in a deep voice.

"Regardless of where this artillery fire comes from, there must be an extremely powerful artillery force in the vicinity, and it is our enemy."

All kinds of thoughts flashed in Ying Senxiao's mind between the sparks of calcium carbide, and he said with an extremely solemn face:

"Now, the locust army must stop its offensive! Order all troops to immediately withdraw from the battle and move in the direction of Baoding! ”

If such a strong artillery fire continues, the 11th Division, the 40th Division, and the 56th Division will all become cannon fodder.

Seio Nishihara understood the seriousness of the matter in an instant.

"Hey."

Seio Nishihara bowed his head suddenly, turned around and went to give the order.

"Report to the division commander, we have lost contact with the headquarters of the 56th Division."

A combat staff officer put down the phone and reported to Takashi Takashi in a bitter tone.

"What about the radio?" Ying Sen Xiao frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you use the radio to contact the headquarters of the 56th Division?" ”

"The radio signal at the regimental headquarters of the 56th Division has been lost."

A telegraph operator stood up with an ugly face and bowed his head in report.

Takamori's face suddenly became more and more ugly, the phone could not be contacted, and it was possible that the phone line was blown up.

But the radio station can't be reached... Explain that the command of the 56th Division, with a high probability of being hit by shells.

A group of officers, including Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, the commander of the 56th Division, is likely to be gone. (End of chapter)
