Chapter 229: Surround the point and attack the support!

"Brother Chu, Captain Li, take a look."

Upon hearing this, after receiving the telegram from Gu Jiaping, Xu Rui smiled and handed the telegram to Li Yunlong.

After reading it, Li Yunlong immediately handed it to Chu Yunfei.

"Taro Nagata has no confidence in breaking through."

After reading the circumcision between Xu Rui and the others, they immediately smiled and said, "This is sending a newspaper to Yoshinomi Shinozuka, asking for troops to send reinforcements."

"And, another force is sent to reinforce."

Li Yunlong responded: "From the intercepted Japanese radio deciphered, after dawn, the Japanese bombers may fly over Dugu Ridge and launch air strikes on our attacking troops."

"Our current air defense measures can only be at most some heavy machine guns to shoot at the air, which can't stop the Japanese bomber air raids and bombardment."

Chu Yunfei nodded and said in a low voice: "My 358th Regiment, there are no anti-aircraft guns."

"Basic air defense, before, he used heavy machine guns such as Maxim heavy machine guns to shoot at the air, and they were extremely passive."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei continued with a serious expression, "Once dawn, no matter how many Japanese bombers are deployed, even a few will pose a huge threat to us."

"So, we have to think of a countermeasure."

Chu Yunfei said at the end.

"There is no way to defend air now."

Xu Rui said with a serious look: "So, the best solution is to take down Duguling before dawn."

"All annihilate the remnants of the 36th Japanese Division retreating to Duguling!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong both looked solemn.

This is not easy to guarantee, and it can be solved by dawn!

After all, Taro Nagata, the old devil, now has at least 6,000 troops, and his fighting will and strength cannot be underestimated.

Fortunately, our side has the thirty 75mm mountain cannons and twelve howitzers seized on Dingjun Mountain in 303 days.

The 105mm howitzer is still in Jinghai County for the time being, and has not been brought when he is advancing west with Xu Rui and others. After all, the 105mm howitzer is a bit heavy.

However, the thirty 75mm mountain cannons captured by the Japanese Artillery Corps were brought, and some of Chu Yunfei's artillery artillery in General Ridge were basically the artillery fire that completely suppressed the Japanese soldiers on the main peak of Dugu Ridge and the dozens of mountains around it.

Thinking of this, Xu Rui immediately said to Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong: "Brother Chu, Captain Li."

"There are more than two and a half hours before dawn. In these two and a half hours, we will try our best to capture Duguling and wipe out the remnants of the 36th Division of the Japanese."

Xu Rui then said in a cold voice.

"Then follow the previous method, bombard Dugu Ling, and then concentrate incendiary bombs to burn Dugu Ling."

Chu Yunfei said in a narrow voice, murderous intent Li Ran!

"good!!!"

Li Yunlong also nodded in agreement. He didn't have to be polite to deal with the remnants of the 36th Division of the Japanese who were burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil.

"Five minutes later, bombard Dugu Ling for ten minutes!"

Xu Rui said fiercely: "And then, change to the incendiary bomb."

"This time, before dawn, we must take down Duguling and wipe out the remnants of the 36th Division of the Japanese who retreated here."

Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong nodded.

Then, Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong discussed the specific details of the three parties besieging Dugu Ling.

Soon, everyone who had finished the discussion immediately dispersed and returned to their respective command positions to start preparations.

Five minutes passed quickly, as it was just about five in the morning.

Xu Rui looked at the time and immediately notified the artillery company commander Wang Dazhu to direct the artillery group to launch violent artillery bombardment on the main peak of Duguling and its surrounding dozens of hills.

Wang Dazhu’s cannon group position!

"The main peak of Duguling and the dozens of hills around it are launched without a base, and you will be ready and put out!!!"

As Wang Dazhu raised the small triangle flag in his hand and lowered the command position of the artillery position in the early morning night. Then, the first shells had already been loaded, and the artillery soldiers who were pulling the ropes at any time immediately pulled the ropes.

"Bangbang, bangbang!!!"

Countless shells were fired out at high speed, and then in the early morning night, they poured towards the main peak of Duguling and more than a dozen hills around it.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!"

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!"

The harsh whistle of shells passed violently in the night sky.

At this time, in a Japanese bunker on the main peak of Duguling, watching the cannonballs coming from somewhere at the foot of the mountain with long tail flames, Taro Nagata and Kensalo Takeru changed their faces drifted.

"Arson!!!"

Kensalo Bamboo's face changed drastically.

"Each division is hidden!"

Taro Nagata could only order the Japanese troops on the hills in Dugu Ridge to pay attention to concealment and avoid artillery attacks.

However, the shells poured over very quickly.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

The dense shells fell to the ground and exploded one by one, and the main peak of Duguling and the dozen surrounding hills exploded everywhere.

There are many dead trees on the main peak of Duguling and its surrounding hills.

Therefore, with such fierce artillery bombardment, the fires were shot into the sky everywhere on Duguling Mountain, and some dead trees on the mountain were blown up.

At night, the mountains on Duguling were quickly blown up everywhere.

The burning wildfires began to spread.

As a last resort, Taro Nagata was able to send out some suicide squads and use grenades to directly explode the fire barrier.

This is just a trick, and it is simply to prevent the fire from spreading on the mountain.

Fortunately, Taro Nagata soon sent people to attack the artillery fire and found a spring behind the main peak of Duguling, and then directly sent troops to risk their lives to divert water to wipe out some wildfires.

However, it is impossible to completely wipe out all the wildfires in the rumbling explosion.

For a moment, during the explosion and under the blessing package of wildfires, the screams of the Japanese soldiers were also accompanied by the burning sound and explosion sounds.

Xu Rui and others sneered and continued to command the artillery to launch violent artillery bombardment.

Then, the subsequent shelling was replaced with incendiary bombs and continued shelling.

Now, Taro Nagata, who used to use the powerful artillery power of his own artillery corps to bully others, now feels the pain of being beaten by his own artillery.

At this time, the main peak of Duguling was violently bombarded.

In the command room of the First Japanese Army Command in Taiyuan City, Shinozuka Yoshinan also received the latest emergency telegram sent by Taro Nagata, asking for tactical guidance.

"Duguling, Taro Nagata has indeed retreated here."

After reading the telegram sent by Taro Nagata, when he could not take down General Ridge, and with the threat of Xu Rui and other troops who were chasing westward, Taro Nagata could only retreat south to Dugu Ling to defend and wait for assistance.

"Miano-kun, what do you think you should do now?"

He handed the telegram to Major General Miyano, chief of staff of the First Japanese Army, and Yoshinan Shinozuka said with a gloomy face.

"The 41st Infantry Regiment has been jointly eaten by Xu Rui's troops and the Eighth Route Army's New Regiment and the Imperial Army that has retreated to Duguling to defend and aid are all the remaining troops of the 36th Division!"

Miyano Dao thought for a while and said bitterly: "If you sit still, the remnants of the 36th Division will definitely be annihilated on Duguling."

"At that time, the empire had a division of troops, which was eaten by Xu Rui and other enemy troops in northwest Shanxi. This was impossible to accept for the reputation of the Imperial Army."

When Yoshinomi Shinozuka heard this, he said with a serious look: "If you send another reinforcement, you will be afraid that the enemy will surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements!"
