The time to eat grilled fish is joyful.

And the time of happiness is always short-lived. In an instant, it was beautiful. And then there's eternity.

Eat one's fill.

Drink enough.

In this way, even if he dies in battle, he is still a full ghost.

Including Wang Yaowu, they dare not guarantee 100% that they will not die on the battlefield tomorrow.

Although, they were at the division command. However, it was completely within the range of the Japanese guns. If he is hit by the cannon of the Japanese Kou Mountain, he will also be martyred. But no one cares.

The eldest husband is shrouded in horse leather, protecting his family and defending the country, and he is not a hero if he hesitates.

"There's good news." Wang Yaowu said to Zhang Chu.

"Huang Botao?" Zhang Chu is looking forward to it.

"It doesn't count." Wang Yaowu shook his head, "The old man's resentment towards Huang Botao has not disappeared. We'll have to wait. I'm talking about the Dian Army. Fan Tien Hee's troops. ”

"What's wrong with him?" Zhang Chu remembered the scene of the battle in Jinling.

The Dian army is still very fierce.

Especially those of the Yi people. Warriors indeed.

"They will also be transferred to Anqing."

"Now?"

"Yes!"

"Maybe it's too late, right?"

"It's better if it's too late."

"That's right."

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

The transfer of the Yunnan army was obviously to strengthen the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese invaders.

However, at present, Fan Tianxi of the Yunnan army is still on the front line of Huainan. It will take at least half a month to walk from there.

There are no railways for the time being. There is also no water transport. Walkable only.

Along the way, you may have to fight sporadic Japanese invaders. So, it can't be too fast. Half a month to be able to arrive, is already an ideal situation.

"How many troops are there in Hankow?"

"The troops of the Ninth Theater are all over there. Chief Xue is in charge of command. ”

"Can they draw one or two troops?"

"No way."

Wang Yaowu shook his head.

He also hoped to be able to transfer troops from Hankow. That's the fastest.

However, the troops around Hankow were basically newly formed. A lot of it didn't take shape. There's not even an official number.

In fact, Fang Xianjue's pre-tenth division and Song Ruike's pre-eighth division have no official numbers. However, for them, it is only a matter of time before they are officially named. As long as there is a number vacant, there will be an official number number immediately. Moreover, even if there is no official number, there is still a unified supply.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The battle continued.

It was still the Pre-10th Division that was responsible for the attack.

The target of the attack is still the hill bag that once had the Land Temple.

Be sure to take it.

This is no longer a purely military issue.

It has a serious bearing on the morale of both the enemy and the enemy. There is also the overall strategic issue.

"Gotta take it down!"

"Even if it's to the last person! I'm on it myself! ”

Fang Xianjue let it go.

Wearing a steel helmet and carrying a submachine gun, he went directly to the battalion headquarters in front.

No one felt inappropriate.

Because the two commanders were in the division headquarters. The other division commanders were in the regimental headquarters.

As the commander of the 10th Division, Fang Xianjue was afraid that if he didn't go into battle in person, he was afraid that the morale of the troops would never be raised. And his leading role will certainly greatly encourage the officers and men of the whole division.

"Yaga!"

"Hold on!"

"You can only break jade, you can't retreat!"

"Onboard!"

Over there, Jun Akaka also gave a death order.

A Japanese co-captain is also personally behind the hill bag. The entire infantry wing was a backup.

Shoot a batch, go up a batch.

Another batch was gone, and another batch was up. Steady stream.

"Devils are not easy to deal with."

Li Yutang said slowly.

He has also fought with the Japanese invaders repeatedly, and he is quite jealous of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders.

Very fanatical.

I don't care about my life at all.

The strength of the rush was only comparable to that of the main force of the Red Army at the beginning.

The Red Army was not so fierce in all its units either.

However, all the Japanese criminals are so fierce. There are no exceptions at all.

If the Japanese resolutely refused to give up the small mountain bag, the casualties paid by the national army would be very large. The Pre-10th Division could suffer heavy losses. Of course, the losses of the Japanese will also be very heavy.

The two sides are fighting fiercely.

"Keep fighting!"

Wang Yaowu slowly interfaced.

There are no tricks to war with. Most of the time, it's all about hard-hitting.

Now, this small mountain bag has become the focus of contention between the enemy and us. When the battle is fought, no one can back down. To retreat is to admit defeat.

"A different division?"

"You can't change it. Continue to let the Pre-10th Division fight. ”

Wang Yaowu shook his head.

Fang Xian felt that they were letting go. It cannot be withdrawn.

Otherwise, the morale of the other party will be a great blow. Thus affecting the entire Pre-10th Division.

Li Yutang wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Chu said slowly: "Then use a 150mm howitzer." ”

"What?" Li Yutang was stunned.

Wang Yaowu also turned his head to look at him.

Seems to hear something?

150 howitzers?

Zhang Chu actually has a 150mm howitzer?

"Which regiment?"

Li Yutang asked.

The Nationalist Army used to import a number of 150-mm howitzers from Germany, which were organized into several heavy artillery regiments.

But this time, it seems, did not go into battle.

In fact, after the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Jinling, those heavy artillery regiments suffered very heavy losses. It is said that most of the heavy artillery has been lost. There is simply no ability to fight again.

"New."

"What?"

"Commander Wang, I'll give you some 155mm howitzers."

"Thank you!"

Wang Yaowu was overjoyed.

He didn't show disbelief. Believe it directly.

He sent Zeng Cheng to find Zhang Chu, originally because he wanted Zhang Chu to support weapons and ammunition. Preconceived. No matter what weapon Zhang Chu had, he wouldn't find it strange.

Zhang Chu said it was 155 mm. Wang Yaowu habitually thinks that it is 150 mm.

Because the mainstream at that time was 150 mm.

150-mm howitzers are really a rarity. But that doesn't mean there isn't. Those who have the ability can always get it.

The Germans have. The Americans have. The Soviets also had it.

Their arsenals are all very developed. As long as there is money and resources, energy will be produced continuously.

Even Czech arsenals are capable of producing 150-mm howitzers.

The Japanese can do it too. The Japanese also have it.

In the previous Battle of Jinling, the Japanese invaders dispatched 150 mm heavy artillery, which caused the national army to be very injured.

"How many doors?" Li Yutang asked in surprise.

"Not much, only five." Zhang Chu replied casually, "There are also five 122 mm ones." ”

"Ah......" Li Yutang wanted to speak but stopped.

It quickly turned into anticipation.

If there really is a 155-mm heavy gun on the battlefield......

The end of the Japanese invaders has really come.

However, before seeing the real thing, Li Yutang still expressed cautious skepticism.

Zhang Chu immediately arranged for delivery.

"It's coming!"

"It's coming!"

A little later, howitzers arrived.

Wang Yaowu and Li Yutang hurriedly came up to greet them. Wang Yaowu personally signed for the receipt.

There was a huge convoy of more than 100 trucks.

After all, it was a 150-mm heavy gun. The logistics required are terrifying.

There were only ten howitzers. But the entire artillery regiment has a full 1,100 people. Not much different from an infantry regiment.

On average, about 30 people serve a howitzer.

"What? Fifteen pomegranates? ”

"What? Where is it? ”

When Hu Lian, Liao Lingqi and others learned the news, they also hurriedly came to check.

Fang Xianjue and Song Ruike couldn't hold it back. It is also the rush of the front and back feet to the scene.

Agitated.

It's true.

You know, this is a 150mm howitzer!

Not 105 mm!

It's 150 mm!

Not right either!

Zhang Chu said it was 155 mm!

Don't look at the difference in caliber by 50 mm, the explosive power of the shells is at least three times different!

This kind of large-caliber heavy artillery, with one shot, can blast a huge crater two meters deep and five or six meters wide in the mud. Within a radius of thirty meters, it is estimated that there are no living people.

That's it!

Army mobile artillery, the largest caliber, is basically 150 mm.

No matter how big it is, it's hard to move.

Not only the bridges can't withstand it, but also the roads. A tracked truck is also required to tow it. Wheeled vehicles are basically powerless.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Fang Xianjue ordered the artillery to deploy.

Wang Yaowu himself did not bring artillery. It can only be transferred from the pre-10th division.

At the same time, a number of skilled gunners were also drawn from other divisions. A heavy artillery regiment was formed temporarily. It has not been reported to the Ministry of Military Affairs for the time being. I'll talk about it when the battle is over.

Everyone knows it and knows it.

If it is reported, then it will not be their turn to control the use of heavy artillery regiments in the future.

It's best now.

Wang Yaowu was directly commanded. Directly on the front line.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

In addition to the 155-mm howitzers, Zhang Chu also added a regiment of 105-mm howitzers. It's mainly for Li Yutang.

Others are also army commanders, and they don't have a heavy artillery regiment in their hands, which is really unreasonable.

All 155-mm howitzers had some difficulty. But 105 mm is perfectly fine.

"Commander Li, the number of this 155 grenades is too small, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm satisfied. ”

Li Yutang hurriedly responded.

True, having a 105-mm howitzer is already good.

Previously, his Tenth Army had only more than 20 75-mm mountain guns, which were distributed among the divisions.

To say that he is an empty commander is not entirely wrong......

Now, as a military commander, he finally has some heavyweight weapons in his hands.

The gunfire on the battlefield fell silent.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air. The Japanese began to feel uneasy.

Many experienced Japanese criminals smell the smell of danger. They all peeked out of the trenches.

No one shot at them. No one fired at them either.

They can probe freely.

However, the unusual behavior made the Japanese even more uneasy.

"Yaga!"

"What are the Chinese going to do?"

"Yaga ......"

The face of the captain of the Japanese Gang was gloomy.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky. It's as if to see through the secrets behind the gunsmoke.

However, nothing happened.

Everything seems so calm.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

The division commander, Jun Chilu, also sensed that the situation was wrong.

Why are the Chinese so quiet?

What are they going to do?

With a keen sense of smell on the battlefield, he sensed danger coming.

This danger is fatal.

All troops were hurriedly ordered to be combat-ready.

Embattled.

On the side of the national army, it is also ready to fight.

Not a division.

It's three divisions.

Including Liao Lingqi's 58th Division, Fang Xianjue's Pre-10th Division, and Hu Lian's 67th Division.

The 67th Division only crossed the river with two regiments, about 3,000 people. However, Hu Lian has already won the fighting opportunity. The competition for the small mountain bag was also handed over to Hu Lian.

It doesn't matter anymore, though.

Because, the scale of the battlefield has expanded. Their goal is Zongyang.

It just so happened that Wang Yaowu and Li Yutang were there. The two quickly discussed. It was decided to expand the scope of the battlefield. Fight back against the entire Zongyang.

There is no point in fighting for a hill bag. Taking down Zongyang is a fatal blow.

The national army took Zongyang, which meant that the Japanese invaders no longer had the possibility of breaking through. Because the retreat has been cut off.

"Let's do it!"

"I'll take all the responsibility!"

"Action!"

Wang Yaowu decisively ordered.

Because it is an impromptu disposal, it is too late to ask for instructions. Therefore, Lao Wang showed his own courage.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.

When the Japanese invaders focused their eyes on Xiaoshanbao, the real target of the national army was Zongyang.

This attack plan had a small negative effect. It's just that the torpedo boats can't continue to transport troops.

Wrong.

It's not that it can't be transported.

It was the direct transport of troops to land on the shore of Zongyang. Directly copy the back road of the Japanese invaders.

Obviously, this requires a good army.

Thirty torpedo boats, one wave can only transport about five hundred people. Moreover, the time to go ashore is also uneven.

Even, whether there is a chance to go ashore or not, it is difficult to say.

"Zhang Chu, I'll send you the guard battalion of the military headquarters." Wang Yaowu said.

"Good!" Zhang Chu did not refuse.

This kind of landing operation must be personally led by him. No one else can do it.

All kinds of ad-hoc disposals and remedial measures, only he Zhang Chu is the most qualified.

"Adjutant Zhang!"

The commander of the guard battalion came up from heaven.

Zhang Chu nodded. Take him and set off quickly.

Time is precious. It's too late to be shabby.

Coming to the shore, the torpedo boat was landing in Yuguan.

The ferry port has been expanded with a total of eight trestles. It was possible to dock eight torpedo boats at the same time.

The number is still insufficient. However, expansion also requires speed.

"Take a company and go first!" Zhang Chu said in a deep voice.

"Good!" Gao Tian immediately arranged.

With one of the most elite companies, the torpedo boat set off.

Strive against the stream.

Quietly approaching Zongyang.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

At this time, an explosion was heard on the shore.

Very dull. It's also very impressive. Apparently, this is the bombardment of 155-mm howitzers.

Its bombing range is no longer as simple as a hill bag. It was all the Japanese defensive positions. Although there are only five 155 howitzers, firing at full speed, it is also very impressive.

"Nani?"

"What are the Chinese going to do?"

"Yaga ......"

Akakajun was anxious and angry.

He saw through the binoculars that the front-line positions were covered with artillery fire.

There are 75-mm mountain guns, there are 105-mm heavy guns,

And also......

Hey?

Akakajun's pupils suddenly contracted.

He suddenly realized. In addition to the 105-mm heavy gun, it seems that there are larger caliber guns!

Like a 150mm howitzer?

Worst!

The Chinese have 150-mm howitzers?

Annoying!

This discovery made Chilu Jun's heart tense suddenly.

It was as if he saw the sword of destruction hanging over his head. As soon as this sword falls, his head falls to the ground.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

The dull sound of cannon fire continued.

Confirm that it is correct. It's the loud bang of a 150mm howitzer.

The Chinese really have 150mm grenades.

"Chief of Staff ......"

"Your Excellency the Division Commander......"

The chief of staff also turned a little pale.

He heard it too. This is a 150-mm heavy gun for the Chinese.

It's terrible.

The hill bag must not be able to hold it.

Because the attacks of the Chinese are not limited to Xiaoshan Bao. Instead, an offensive was launched on all fronts.

The 13th Division did not have as many troops to reinforce Xiaoshanbao.

Under the repeated bombardment of 150 mm heavy artillery, the defenders on the hill will definitely suffer casualties.

"Jingle Bell ......"

"Jingle Bell ......"

Calls came and went.

They all came from the front to report the situation.

The staff officers of the division and regimental headquarters were very busy. The voice is also very high-pitched.

"Nani? 150mm heavy guns? ”

"Nani? Yang Ji is lost? ”

"Nani? Big Buddha Village found the enemy's main force? ”

"Nani?"

Shocking news came.

The chief of staff quickly made a judgment. The national army has launched a full-scale attack.

It's not a matter of a small mountain anymore.

"Your Excellency the division commander, Dafozhuang has found that the enemy's main force is inserting and is trying to threaten the flank and rear of our division......" The chief of staff was worried.

This is a very bad sign.

Obviously, the enemy is preparing to "divide" Zongyang. Then encircle and eliminate.

Inserting from the Big Buddha Village will cut the connection between Zongyang and Anqing.

From a military point of view, this is a very dangerous move. However, once implemented, it means that the other side is plotting greatly.

Now it is no longer a question of whether to retreat or not, and when to retreat.

Now it is possible that the 13th Division will be divided and surrounded. And then the question of being the first to be annihilated.

"Yaga ......"

Of course, Jun Akaka knows the danger.

As soon as the enemy is allowed to insert himself behind his back and penetrate deep into the river, his relationship with the rest of the Japanese army will be severed.

When the time comes, he will definitely be the first to be eliminated.

No way!

Absolutely unacceptable.

"Your Excellency ...... Soil and Fertilizer"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff hurriedly connected the phone.

OK. There was no problem with the phone line.

"Calm down!"

Kenji Dohihara said slowly.

In fact, he was a little nervous in his heart. But the tone is quite calm.

After all, the Chinese have not yet launched a deadly attack on his troops. Now under attack are the 13th Division. The feeling is not so strong.

"Nani? Fifteen centimeters of heavy artillery? ”

"Impossible......"

Kenji Dohihara frowned.

The Chinese actually pulled out all the 150-mm howitzers? How can it be?

Are they in the Anqing area, right 150mm howitzers? Newly transferred?

Incredible.

It is impossible for Chilu to lie about the situation of the battle. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so nervous. This fully shows that the 13th Division is indeed in trouble.

"We must guard the front line of the Big Buddha Village."

"If our department wants to retreat, it must also pass through the Big Buddha Village. Akaka-kun, the safety of me and Komatsubara-kun depends on you. ”

Kenji Dohihara told the truth.

Such a knot, any excuse will kill people.

Now it is not the 13th Division that is in danger, but all the other Japanese troops who are in danger. Including the westernmost Komatsubara Michitaro.

"Understood!"

Akakajun really felt a lot better.

If Kenji Dohihara finds all kinds of excuses to let him stick to the Big Buddha Village, he may feel unhappy.

But Kenji Dohihara honestly said that his life was also in the hands of the Big Buddha Village, and Akakajun felt much better. Of course, he can't sit idly by and watch Kenji Dohihara and Michitaro Komatsubara. He immediately ordered the chief of staff to transfer all the troops that could be transferred to the front line of Dafozhuang.

"Including the alert troops along the river?" The chief of staff stopped talking.

"Of course!" Akakajun can't care so much.

He did not expect that there might be an attack by Chinese from the river.

That's also a landing battle.

How could the Chinese have the ability to land a war?

Is it possible to use several wooden boats to transport soldiers to the shore? It's absolutely impossible. There's no need to worry about it.

So all the troops on the river bank were withdrawn.

Then fight back.

Sure enough, the attacking national army was repulsed.

But......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, there was a fierce gunfire on the riverside.

Chiluchun's face suddenly sank.

It's over.

The Chinese are coming!

The Chinese really attacked from the river!
