Chapter 132: Put a lot of money and the cooperation between infra-cannons!
"It should be, the group."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, who was standing next to Xu Rui, nodded and smiled relaxedly.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
Four 105mm howitzers were heavily shelled on the first defensive position at the front of the Huting stronghold as they spoke, bursting up sparks.
The vibration of the explosion was transmitted to the reinforced concrete air defense hidden cover where Xu Rui was located.
"Miyamoto Taro's motivation is not very good, it's a pediatrician!"
Xu Rui continued to complain.
"The troupe, the Japanese unfolded along both sides of the highway and gradually approached the Huting stronghold."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, who was watching with a telescope, pointed to the Japanese army slowly coming from the south, smiled and said.
"Tell brothers, be ready for battle."
Xu Rui put away his voice and said.
"clear."
Luo Youdu nodded, then waved his hand to signal a staff officer behind him to pay attention to sending orders.
At this time, Miyamoto Taro, who had reached the outer position of Huting Fortress, stopped moving about 500 meters south of the Huting Fortress, continued to move the command center to about 200 meters, and stopped moving.
After finding a high-level highway to establish a military tent command center, Taro Miyamoto, Colonel Kenichiro, the 40th Infantry Regiment Captain, Colonel Kenichiro, the brigade chief Kenjiro Ikeda, and other major senior Japanese officers climbed the hillside. With the help of trees on the hillside, they observed the defensive positions built by the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, which was defending the southwards to the Huting Staff.
"hiss!!!"
The Japanese observed for a long time and took a breath.
I saw that the original Huting stronghold was a bunker group built by the Japanese on the road. After most of the bombardment was destroyed during the capture of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, more bunkers have been rebuilt with reinforced concrete.
Moreover, when Taro Miyamoto and the Japanese saw it, they knew it was difficult to fight.
I saw that the defensive positions outside the Huting stronghold had already been pulled up with barbed wire, and the trenches were crisscrossed and densely packed. It made senior Japanese officers such as Taro Miyamoto, Kenichiro Takari and other Japanese officers numb.
"Your Excellency General, I'm afraid it's hard to fight."
Colonel Gao Li Kenichiro, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment, said with a serious look.
After arriving at the Jinghai Prefecture, although we learned that the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army had wiped out all the Sakata Federation under the Fourth Brigade of Taro Miyamoto and the First Infantry Brigade of the Shigefuji Federation.
However, intuitively speaking, Kenichiro Gao Li thought it was a lucky draw for the enemy's 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
But now that he saw the fortification position built after the Huting stronghold was captured by the other party, Kenichiro Gaoli also felt that it was quite difficult.
Such defensive positions have great casualties.
"It's really hard to fight."
Taro Miyamoto also had to admit that he personally commanded more than 7,000 imperial troops to counterattack this time. After facing the main force of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army head-on, he found that the opponent could eat more than 4,000 imperial troops, which was not just a lucky chance, but really had strength.
The construction of the opponent's fortifications and formation of the formation was not as monotonous as the Chang Kaisan Central Army he met before.
"God of General, the enemy has roughly arranged three lines of defense at the Huting stronghold. Look, the trenches on each line of defense are intertwined and very dense."
The 40th Infantry Corps Captain Gao Li Kenichiro said in a low voice: "It seems that we need to use the 105 howitzers from the four gates of the Imperial Army on the artillery position on the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge for long-range artillery bombardment first."
"In addition to the twelve Type 92 infantry artillery combined by our units this time, we will concentrate artillery fire and blow up the barbed wire, obstacles, and other things that hinder the infantry from attacking the enemy's trenches."
Taro Miyamoto nodded and said, "Takari-kun is right."
So, Taro Miyamoto said to Kenjiro Ikeda in a voice: "Ikeda, Ikeda, send a howitzer position and a concentrated 92 infantry artillery position to launch violent shelling on the enemy's defensive positions at the Huting stronghold in five minutes."
"Don't be stingy with the shells, bang hard!!!"
Seeing this, Kenjiro Ikeda bowed heavily and said, "Yes, General." Then Kenjiro Ikeda immediately went down to send someone to pass on the order.
"Master Yamazaki, Gao Lijun, you are ready to prepare. After our military order is ready to test the attack after the large-scale artillery attack is extended!"
Taro Miyamoto said to Yamazaki's captain, Oshinaga Yamazaki, and Colonel Kenichiro, the 40th Infantry Regiment.
"Yes, Your Excellency General."
Yamazaki Orihei and Kenichiro Takari bowed their heads heavily, and there was no possibility of rejecting Miyamoto Taro's orders now.
"Yoxi!!!"
Taro Miyamoto nodded, then continued to raise his telescope to observe everything on the defending defensive positions facing south of the Huting stronghold.
Subsequently, Taro Miyamoto ordered Yamazaki's brigade to expand its attack formation as the first wave of tentative attack troops.
The 40th Infantry Regiment was launched as a second wave of attack formation, with the headquarters of the 40th Infantry Regiment's First Infantry Brigade behind the Yamazaki Brigade.
In the direction of the 40th Infantry Regiment, the remaining two infantry brigades of the Chongteng Regiment of the Fourth Brigade attacked Hanjia Town and Xujia Town in the two wings of the Huting Stand to restrain the defenders in the two wings.
From Taro Miyamoto's attack deployment, it can be seen that the old Japanese also had selfish intentions and placed the remaining two infantry brigades on both wings, which could avoid the major casualties caused by the subsequent attacks.
However, this is obviously a different treatment, which also made Kenichiro, the captain of the 40th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese, realize it after returning to his temporary corps headquarters.
"Taro Miyamoto treats us like this, the captain of the corps. Do you want to report to the headquarters?"
Kenichiro Takari's wing chief of staff, Major Heiji Kawaguchi, whispered.
“No need.”
Kenichiro Takari shook his head and said, "Actually I expected it. After all, Taro Miyamoto's Fourth Brigade has suffered heavy losses."
"There are only more than 2,700 people left, and more people continue to be killed and killed in Huting. So wouldn't the Fourth Brigade actually be on the verge of being destroyed?"
After a pause, Kenichiro Gaoli continued, "Besides, the relationship between Taro Miyamoto and the commander is secretly clear to you and I, Kawaguchi."
"What should I do next?"
Kawaguchi Heiji said in a voice: "Although it was Yamazaki Jihei who took the lead, the first infantry brigade of our corps was attacking from behind."
"Appoint my First Infantry Team to pay attention to the rhythm of the attack and see the attack situation of Yamazaki Team that continues to attack and do not advance rashly."
Kenichiro Gaoli thought for a while and ordered.
"I understand, team leader."
Kawaguchi Heiji nodded, which was also a countermeasure.
Soon, the five-minute preparation time had arrived.
"Bangbang, bangbang!!!"
The Japanese howitzer 105 on the north bank of the Xiushui River Bridge, and the Type 92 infantry artillery group position about five or six hundred meters south of the Huting Stand, were launched at the same time.
As the shells rumbling out, a sharp roar sound came out from the rear of the Japanese counterattack army and the artillery positions attacking the front line.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
One round of 105 howitzer shells and the Type 92 infantry cannon shells were smashed down one after another.
For a moment, the explosion of fire exploded on the Huting stronghold.
It is now broad daylight, and the explosion of smoke is everywhere.
The barbed wire, traps, and many obstacles on the defensive positions built by the defenders at the Huting Staff were blown up to the sky.
Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu also felt the huge vibration caused by the rumbling explosion above in the air defense command center of the bunker made of reinforced concrete.
The huge vibration caused by the explosion shook a lot of dust and mud on the bunker, causing dust and mud on the hair of several people.
"Paipapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
Xu Rui patted the dust and mud that fell down and cursed, "Made, this old devil, isn't it? Is it so much that I can bombard us with such a huge amount of money?"
"After all, it's a counterattack! It's predictable that the bombardment is fierce."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu patted the dust on his head, then smiled calmly and said.
"Let me see how long it takes for the Japanese to launch a large-scale artillery attack."
Xu Rui said complainingly.
"It'll probably take more than five minutes."
Luo Youdu guessed.
"Then let's take a look!"
Xu Rui said with a laugh.
And sure enough, it was almost as Luo Youdu guessed.
In order to attack the infantry and clear obstacles at the front of the defending positions, Taro Miyamoto spent ten minutes of artillery fire to cover the defensive positions of the defenders at the Huting stronghold, and could attack obstacles that could hinder the infantry's advance attack.
After the artillery fire began to extend, the first wave of the Japanese infantry brigade, Yamazaki brigade, under the command of the captain Yamazaki brigade, launched a tentative attack in the infantry and artillery.
Behind them, more than a thousand people from the First Infantry Brigade of the 40th Infantry Regiment were followed.
A total of 2,200 Japanese devils formed a loose battle and tested formation, and they rushed all over the mountains and fields.
Since the Huting stronghold is built on the highway leading to Heyuan County and its mountains on both sides, the only attack area will be roughly spread along the highway and its sides.
Xu Rui went out of the observation port of the reinforced concrete bunker command center and saw with a telescope that the Japanese infantry had already begun to rise under the cover of artillery fire, and the Japanese artillery fire bombing point was less than one hundred meters away.
"Mad, you're not afraid of blowing up your own people."
Xu Rui also admired the Japanese's insurgent and cannon coordination, and was very skillful in playing. He really attacked the bombs by the bombing point.
"After all, it is the Japanese's elite field troops, so they should not be underestimated."
Chief of staff Luo Youdu, who was standing beside him, held up his telescope to observe and said.
"Send the frontier positions to concentrate light and heavy machine gun fire and prepare for counterattack. Wait until all the Japanese temptation troops enter the minefield before detonating!"
Xu Rui smiled sinisterly and said, "I want to kill the Japanese tentative troops in one wave."
Chapter completed!
