197 Reckoning
Dingcheng.
It is only more than 100 miles away from Shicheng, and only more than 100 miles away from Baocheng, another important town, which is exactly the middle position, and there are more than 10 counties within a radius of 100 miles, which can be described as a core transportation hub.
Most of the logistical supplies transported from Pingjin to the front line by road will pass through here, and they will stay for a period of time and be distributed to more than a dozen surrounding counties.
Under normal circumstances, Shicheng and Baocheng have divisional or brigade-level garrisons, plus the military police brigades of the surrounding counties, Dingcheng can be described as impregnable.
Due to the intersection of highways and railways, the logistics transfer center in Dingcheng is not in the city, but at the station outside the city, and there is a large group of little devils guarding around the transfer center.
Although there are not three steps and one post and five steps and one sentry near the station, it is not far away, and some hidden castles have been built in the middle, plus the laborers who are responsible for the handling of the entire transfer station, the little devils have made a book for management, and it is difficult for strangers to mix in as a force.
It's tightly controlled inside and out, and there is nothing wrong with the normal situation.
It is precisely because of the sound management methods that the captain of the little devil's defense, Maeda Shaozuo, lives quite comfortably, and basically lives a life of listening to music in the city.
This night was no exception, Maeda Shaozuo drank until he was seven points drunk, and he went to Cuihualou after being familiar with the road.
"Xiaoman, I'm resting here with you tonight, are you happy?" As soon as Maeda Shaozuo entered the door, he took off the command knife and the Wang Ba box on his body and put them aside, and said to the woman named Xiaoman with a somewhat obscene smile.
"Maeda Taijun, people are not feeling well today, and they may not be able to wait for you." Xiao Man frowned slightly, but quickly responded.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to treat all kinds of discomfort and make sure that my hands are gone." Maeda Shaozuo stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Man's little hand, and took out a few oceans from his pocket, "Don't worry, I understand the rules, Xiao Man, we have known each other for so long, you should understand me." ”
As one of the top brands of Cuihualou, Xiao Man really can't have a little malice towards Maeda Shaozuo, even the head of the two devils dares to come here to prostitute in vain, Xiao Man really hasn't met a little devil like Maeda Shaozuo who understands the rules.
"Maeda Taijun, but I'm really inconvenient today, that thing is here, or I'll accompany Taijun to have a drink."
"It's okay, drink, drink. You can call Xiaocui over in a moment. Maeda Shaozuo looked at Xiao Man, stretched out his hand and pinched it lightly, and smiled obscenely.
There is no shortage of women here, but other women are not as good-looking as Xiao Man, looking at Xiao Man on this side, and Xiao Cui on the other side seems to be quite good.
Maeda Shaozuo didn't expect that other people's gentle township was the hero's mound, but his gentle township would save his life tonight.
......
When Tian Shaozuo was drinking flower wine, the Ping'an cluster had already divided into four roads and rushed to the transfer center in Dingcheng.
And Gao Jianwu kept an eye on the movements of the heavy artillery brigade in his mind, and according to the trajectory shown by the intelligence system, the train carrying the heavy artillery brigade should arrive at the transfer center almost with him.
For Li Yunlong and the others, this battle was to destroy the logistics transfer center station of a little devil, but for Gao Jianwu, the only goal was to destroy the heavy artillery brigade.
This is one of the six heavy artillery brigades of the little devils, usually only in the big battle is their turn to appear, 48 150 mm howitzers, not to mention hitting the county seat, even if you hit a fortified city like Jinyang, you can knock it open!
The county is a rhythm of a salvo and it's over.
The biggest purpose of Lieutenant General Seya's mobilization was not to attack those mountainous counties occupied by the Eighth Road, which actually had no strategic value, and it was just a matter of saving face to take them back now.
He was preparing to use heavy artillery to cooperate with the third division of the chariot to form an iron fist and push it horizontally towards the entire Taihang base area.
With the 3rd Tank Division and the Heavy Artillery Brigade joining forces, no matter what defensive formation the Eighth Route puts up, it is useless, and the 150mm howitzers of the Heavy Artillery Brigade from a distance of more than ten kilometers can turn all defenses into ruins.
This was the result of Lieutenant General Seya's reassessment of the strength of the Eighth Route after seeing the annihilation of the 2nd Brigade and the 138th Wing.
In Lieutenant General Seya's view, the Eighth Route already had the ability to confront a division or brigade of the Locust Army head-on, and in order to ensure all fairness, under the impact of the 3rd Tank Division, combined with the ability of the heavy artillery brigade to attack the fortified position, even if the Eighth Route excavated a strong position, it was useless.
Moreover, the heavy artillery brigade is also a killer weapon secretly mobilized by Lieutenant General Seya, and in the front command headquarters, no more than 5 people will know this information now.
In other words, even some generals at the level of brigade commanders do not know about this matter.
is so secretive, Lieutenant General Seya Bingfeng is aiming at the Ping An cluster of Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu, who are in the limelight.
According to the battle plan envisaged by Lieutenant General Seya, he would set a trap to force the Heian cluster to engage in a positional battle with the locust army, and after using a brigade as a bait to attract the main force of the Eighth Road, the 3rd Chariot Division and the heavy artillery brigade would attack with heavy fists to annihilate the Heian cluster at the least cost.
If it weren't for Gao Jianwu's intelligence system, maybe Lieutenant General Seya's trick would really cause Gao Jianwu and them a lot of trouble.
After all, it is rare for the Eighth Road side to encounter heavy artillery, and even 105mm howitzers are rarely encountered, after all, except for a few early battles, most of the Eighth Road side is mainly sporadic battles, and the enemies faced are aimed at the squadron and below.
Artillery with a caliber of more than 75 mm will basically not appear at this level of combat.
That is, Gao Jianwu was born out of nowhere, which provoked the little devil field wing equipped with 105 mm caliber artillery.
But with Gao Jianwu, Lieutenant General Seya's plan was destined to be in vain.
......
At the same time, the little devil's heavy artillery brigade is heading to Dingcheng by two trains, and according to the plan, they will arrive at Dingcheng Railway Station at about 8 o'clock in the evening, and then settle food and accommodation near the station, replenish some supplies and then drive to Shicheng.
Major General Kurai of the Heavy Artillery Brigade looked at his watch and had more than half an hour to go.
Major General Kurai stood up, moved his hands and feet, and looked at the dark sky outside the train, and the train on the tracks in front of him spewed out a billowing white pillar like a large mouth of endless darkness.
"Kurai-kun, what are you thinking?" The voice of Chief of Staff Ishishita Dazuo came from his ears.
"Ishishita-kun, you said, General Seya mobilized our heavy artillery brigade to the front line, is it really impossible to control the situation?" Major General Kurai said quietly.
"In the current situation, that's the case, at least it's a good reason." Ishishita said.
"But, doesn't Ishita-kun feel that our heavy artillery brigade is a burden in the mountains? Although the truck towing can barely move 150 mm howitzers, there are some places in the mountains where our trucks cannot go, and the heavy artillery brigade is purely superfluous in the face of mountain guerrillas. Major General Kurai looked at the big trees that were speeding away outside, and said without looking back.
"Kurai-kun wants to say that General Seya is a drunkard, but he is not actually on this sweep?" Ishishita Daizuo cautiously probed.
"Shishita-kun, we have been old friends for many years, I heard that the No. 5 battle plan has been formulated, this time we will divide our troops into two routes, one way is from Jindi to Shaanxi, all the way to attack Henan, Hubei and Sichuan. General Seya is probably eyeing the commander of the army of this road from Jin to Shaanxi, and we are afraid that this time we are not just sweeping the Tuba Road. It's more about laying out the No. 5 battle plan, after the sweep is completed, we will take the opportunity to attack Shaanxi in one fell swoop, and our goal is to destroy a famous city like Chang'an. ”
"There, it is the important place for the 500,000 main forces of the national government to defend, and that is where we come in."
"If you transfer us in advance, I'm afraid you want to be the commander of this army."
Hearing such news for the first time, Ishishita Daizuo was stunned for a while, and then slowly reacted, the importance of the heavy artillery brigade is comparable to a division, although it is said that the level of Major General Kurai is one level lower than that of the division, but in terms of strategic role, it is higher than an ordinary division, you must know that the empire has also formed 6 heavy artillery brigades.
The news of Major General Kurai is obviously that the top brass began to blow the wind.
It's just that the upper echelons of the empire, is the struggle for power so fierce now?
Shishita Dazuo was a little confused, he had always taken the route of a staff officer, and he had never taken the responsibility of being a general of an army alone.
"So how are we going to handle ourselves?" Ishishita asked.
"What else? Just go with the flow. Major General Kurai said with some humor.
The chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army was killed in an artillery bombardment, and the new chief of staff, Lieutenant General Seya, was sent from the base camp, and he was young and vigorous and had a deep background, and this counter-sweep jumped out to serve as the main attack, faintly wanting to seize the opportunity of the chief officer of the No. 5 operational plan, which was a good opportunity for Lieutenant General Seya to be promoted to general.
As long as he led the army into Shaanxi and defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops defending Chang'an, it would be a great achievement and he would have the qualifications to serve as the commander of the front army.
It's just that breaking the plan in advance in this way is somewhat costly and costly, and the heavy artillery brigade is a bit of a joke for encircling and suppressing the Tubalu guerrillas.
......
At 9:50 p.m., Gao Jianwubu quietly moved to the vicinity of the station, looked at the two trains stopping on the tracks in the distance, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
He looked around, matching the terrain with the map in his mind, and soon found a warehouse near the train.
"The commandos and artillerymen followed me and went to seize the warehouse; Da Lei and Lao Lu, you separate into two roads, set up a blocking position in the front warehouse, and be sure to block the attacking little devil" Gao Jianwu didn't talk nonsense, and after a brief explanation, the team began to act separately.
With the assault team and the artillery team transformed into infantry, Gao Jianwu took the lead and touched towards the warehouse.
However, 500 meters away from the warehouse, he encountered a patrol of little devils, Gao Jianwu did not hesitate to shoot directly, and the commandos gathered fire together, and took down a small detachment of little devils in one face.
As soon as the gunshots rang out here, the little devils immediately sounded the alarm, and the little devils who were defending around began to rush towards the gunshots!
