Chapter 134: Death Explosion, seize the 105th howitzer position!
"This is wherever you go."
Xu Rui laughed and said, "It's just that I thought that the minefield would detonate and at most half of the Japanese could only be killed."
"I didn't expect that the Japanese were arrogant and arrogant. With their superior forces, they attacked my position by attacking them with their superior forces. This is asking for death."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu nodded and smiled: "The regiment seat is annihilated at least two thousand Japanese devils."
"Tell Chen Zhenping to concentrate firepower and clear away the remaining Japanese soldiers in the minefield. I want one to kill the first wave of Japanese soldiers who are tentatively attacked without leaving any reservation."
Xu Rui immediately waved his hand and laughed.
“Yes, the group.”
The staff officer who was waiting for the order immediately turned around and took a few steps, picked up the battle phone placed on a table behind, and directly sent a call to the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping.
At this time, after receiving Xu Rui's order, the first battalion commander Chen Zhenping immediately concentrated his firepower and shot the Japanese soldiers who were screaming in the minefield that were not killed and were screaming.
When Taro Miyamoto came to his senses and urgently ordered the artillery firepower to cover the first wave of Japanese soldiers who were tentatively attacking to retreat, it was too late.
"Bang!!!"
Taro Miyamoto looked at the defenders' rifles, and the machine gun fired countless bullets, covering the minefields at the front of the Huting Fortress. He killed the remaining Japanese soldiers who had no time to run away and turned around to retreat. He punched a tree next to him with anger.
The old Japanese had a lot of strength. The leaves of trees that were not big hit by one punch fell down, and dozens of leaves almost fell on Taro Miyamoto.
However, Taro Miyamoto obviously did not realize that these leaves were falling on him.
"Stop your anger, General."
Seeing this, Colonel Kenjiro Ikeda, the chief of staff of the Fourth Brigade, could only grit the bullet and comfort him: "It is common for internal military personnel to win and lose. I didn't expect that Xu Rui was so cunning that he actually set up a minefield at the frontier positions of the Huting stronghold."
"According to the explosion range and its power just now, the explosives in the minefield exceeded the scale of at least two tons."
Taro Miyamoto gritted his teeth, then waved his hand and said, "Ikeda-kun said it is possible."
"But when I look at the power of the explosion, most of them are explosives converted from seized mines, shells, etc., buried under the ground, and then detonated through series connection."
Of course, Kenjiro Ikeda nodded quickly and said, "What the General is saying is."
"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General."
At this moment, the Japanese staff officer responsible for the battlefield report ran up to the hillside where Taro Miyamoto was currently standing. After seeing Taro Miyamoto, he hurriedly reported: "The first wave of Yamazaki brigade that was tempted to attack, the First Infantry brigade belonging to the 40th Infantry Regiment was almost wiped out."
"There are more than 2,000 imperial soldiers who lost a total of more than 2,000 imperial soldiers. Among them, Yamazaki Battalion Captain Jirashi Nakasa Yamazaki, and the 40th Infantry Corps Captain Masaki Sanhei Taijiro, and all the following dozens of imperial palace officers were killed in the bombing."
Upon hearing this, Taro Miyamoto and Kenjiro Ikeda looked at each other, and then took a breath.
This really caused more than 2,000 casualties, less than ten minutes.
This was also accompanied by the cover of our own artillery fire and the time when the infantry charged.
"knew!"
After Miyamoto Taro gritted his teeth and waved his hand to signal the report's officer, saying, "Order the remaining troops to temporarily stop the attack."
"Wait for my order!"
The Japanese staff member who reported the report bowed heavily and said, "Yes, General." Then he turned around and ran down the hillside.
"Your Excellency General!"
After the report of the Japanese staff ran down the hill, Kenjiro Ikeda said to Taro Miyamoto: "The casualties were too fast, and more than 2,000 people were lost in one go."
"This time we went north, we only had about 5,000 people left. We had greatly damaged our strength, and the enemy defenders had almost no casualties. It seems that Xu Rui had already deployed heavy troops at the Huting stronghold to resist our attack."
Upon hearing this, Taro Miyamoto frowned and said, "What suggestions do Ikeda Kwan have?"
"Continue to order howitzer artillery group and the 92 infantry cannon artillery group to launch violent shelling of the Huting stronghold."
Kenjiro Ikeda gritted his teeth and suggested: "Next, dispatch a small group of troops to find out the enemy's firepower points."
"Concentrate some of the troops to see if they can bypass the Huting stronghold and encircle them in a roundabout way."
When Taro Miyamoto heard this, he could not refuse.
Xujia Town and Hanjia Town on both wings of Huting Stronghold were defended by enemy troops.
Moreover, avoid the Huting Staff and detour on both wings, which are all high mountains and ridges.
Even if it is a small detour, it will inevitably pass by Xujia Town and Hanjia Town on both wings and be discovered by the enemy defenders occupying the two towns.
At that time, Xu Ruida should concentrate the reserve team to eat his detour troops.
After all, it is too difficult to detour from the high mountains and ridges on both wings.
However, the frontal attack may not be effective.
"Then do it for the time being."
After thinking about it, in order to avoid heavy losses, Taro Miyamoto could only agree with Kenjiro Ikeda's suggestion and said: "Concentrate artillery fire and bomb the Huting stronghold."
"Concentrate some of the troops around the Huting stronghold and attack on both wings to see if you can find other routes from both wings, bypass the Huting stronghold and kill directly to Heyuan County."
After a pause, Taro Miyamoto said to Kenjiro Ikeda again, "In addition, take off from the group of Imperial Army Type 96 land attack aircraft waiting for takeoff, and bomb the enemy positions at the Huting stronghold."
"Use an aviation bomb weighing 800 kilograms, do not carry a 400 kilograms of aviation bomb."
Kenjiro Ikeda bowed heavily and said, "Yes, Your Excellency General." Then he immediately went down to make arrangements.
Taro Miyamoto turned around, picked up the telescope and looked at the front of the Huting Fortress, and the corpses of Japanese devils who were blown to death within a range of more than 150 meters, with their palms tightly.
"Baga, the abominable Xu Rui, the abominable 303rd Group."
Taro Miyamoto gritted his teeth and cursed.
At this time, Xu Rui watched the first wave of counterattack end successfully, and at the reinforced concrete bunker command headquarters, he also clapped and congratulated Chief of Staff Luo Youdu.
"Tongzha, this old devil, Miyamoto Taro must have a bad face now."
Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said with a laugh.
"Hahaha, absolutely."
Xu Rui also said with a laugh.
"The regiment chief, chief of staff, intercepted the Japanese radio, this is a deciphered telegram!"
At this moment, Gu Jiaping, the communications officer in charge of radio, smiled, walked to Xu Rui and Luo Youdu, handed over the telegram and said with a smile.
"Taro Miyamoto is going to use the cross Type 96 land attack aircraft that received support and cooperation from the old Japanese Shinozuka Yoshinan before the war to bomb our defenders' positions in the air!"
After reading the deciphered telegram content, Xu Rui handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu and said in a voice.
"Team."
Luo Youdu, who had received the deciphered telegram, immediately said: "Let your brothers pay attention to air defense preparations."
"Um!!"
Xu Rui nodded and said directly to a staff officer beside him: "Tell all the brothers on the position to pay attention to air defense concealment next."
"Yes, the group!"
The staff officer nodded, then immediately walked to the table behind and picked up the battlefield phone and asked to directly access the battalions to convey Xu Rui's air defense preparation orders.
Xu Rui then said to Luo Youdu: "The Japanese should send a small group of troops to detour from both wings and order the second battalion of Xujia Town and Hanjia Town to pay attention to intercepting the attack."
"Um!"
Luo Youdu nodded and immediately asked someone to send an order.
"Gu Jiaping!"
Xu Rui then said to communications consultant Gu Jiaping.
"Team!"
The standing Gu Jiaping immediately responded.
"Send a report to Xu Dahu immediately and ask him to command the Wolf-fanged special forces to take down the Japanese 105 howitzer position. If the Japanese howitzer can be seized, it can be seized. If it cannot be seized, it will be bombed for me. In addition, cooperate with the cavalry battalion to seize the Xiushui River Bridge."
Xu Rui said in a voice.
"Yes, the group!"
Gu Jiaping left in response to the news.
When Chief of Staff Luo Youdu heard this, he immediately said in a low voice: "Room, isn't it too early to cut off the enemy's back?"
"There is no way. Next, Taro Miyamoto continued to continue to bombard our Huting position with four 105 howitzers and twelve Type 92 infantry cannons. That won't work. Although our position is extremely strong, it is not possible to continue to be bombed."
Xu Rui shook his head and said with a serious expression: "The most important thing is that according to the latest intercepted radio information, the Japanese Prince Fushimi Toshihiko Fukumiya had already taken off from Yanjing City at 11 o'clock."
"It just so happens that we can speed up and cut off Miyamoto Taro's retreat first."
Hearing this, Luo Youdu understood what Xu Rui meant.
"I understand, the group."
