Chapter 231 Calling twelve 105mm howitzers join the battle!

“Five hours are five hours.”

Taro Nagata gritted his teeth and said, "We guarded the main peak of Duguling and its surroundings and fought fiercely with the enemy. We insisted until twelve o'clock in the afternoon today."

"Zhu Tengjun, I'll send all the soldiers to fight back after the enemy's army reaches the mountain and fight back, and fight against the enemy's army at close range. Without my order, no suicide-style pig attacks will be allowed."

Kensalo Takerata said heavily: "Yes, division commander."

"Now, before the 2nd Brigade reaches here, we must rely on ourselves. Every Imperial soldier is the force we have to persist until twelve o'clock today."

Taro Nagata said in amid the rumbling explosion, and said to Kensalo Takeru again.

"Don't worry, division commander!"

Kensalo Takeraki said with a serious expression: "It should be no problem for us to persist until twelve o'clock in the afternoon."

"Um!!!"

Taro Nagata nodded, then looked down at the foot of the mountain through the command center observation port.

I saw that the enemy's shelling continued.

"Xu Rui, you wait!"

Taro Nagata gritted his teeth and muttered hatred in his heart.

Hundreds of meters below the main peak of Duguling, Xu Rui's temporary command center.

At this time, the main peak of Duguling and its surroundings were surrounded by Xu Rui, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong.

Among them, Xu Rui's temporary command center is on a small hillside hundreds of meters east of the main peak of Duguling.

On this small hill, there are trees, which are suitable for concealment. Then observe the situation on the main peak of Duguling.

"The regiment chief, chief of staff, and the First Japanese Army Command of the Japanese Army called back to the 36th Division. This is a telegram that was deciphered after intercepting the Japanese radio."

While Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu were standing on the hillside, holding a telescope to observe the shelling of the main peak of Duguling with the help of trees, the voice of communication staff Gu Jiaping came from behind.

Gu Jiaping walked quickly to the hillside, then stood attentively and said with a salute, then handed the deciphered telegram in his hand to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui nodded, then looked at the telegram with the help of the luminous light, and handed it to Luo Youdu, the chief of staff beside him.

"Hehehehe!!!"

Xu Rui smiled at Luo Youdu who was looking at the telegram and said, "I actually dispatched another reinforcement army to reinforce Taro Nagata."

"It seems that Yoshinan Shinozuka doesn't want the remnants of the 36th Division to be completely solved by me, Chu Yunfei and others!"

After reading the telegram, Luo Youdu, the chief of staff of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, heard this, and then smiled and said, "If I were the old Japanese devil of Shinozuka Yoshinan, I wouldn't have really been watching the remnants of the 36th Division be wiped out by us."

"After now, I think that Yoshinomi Shinozuka sent the 2nd Brigade from Zhenting Castle to reinforce Taro Nagata. If you really waited to see the remnants of the 36th Division be wiped out at Duguling, then a division will be wiped out by then. For the First Japanese Army, the morale of the military will be greatly shocked."

After a pause, Luo Youdu continued, "For Yoshinan Shinozuka, even if he finally rescued some of the remaining soldiers of the 36th Division, he could at least bite the bullet and announce that the 36th Division was not annihilated by us and the New First Regiment and other units."

Xu Rui nodded and said, "The Chief of Staff is right."

"It's just that the 2nd Guild Brigade set out from Zhenting City, and although it was more than fifty kilometers away, there were no 358th Regiment, or even the Eighth Route Army troops, and our 303rd Regiment troops in it to block it. Even if we send troops now and set up ambush and block this Guild reinforcement route, there is no time."

Luo Youdu asked someone to take the map, look at it in the luminous light, then nodded and said, "There is no way to do this."

"We can no longer draw our troops now, so is the 358th Regiment. And the new regiment of Li Yunlong's regiment is now unable to be transferred from its defense zone. After all, most of their troops have been mobilized."

After pausing, Luo Youdu said again: "Fortunately, the road from Zhenting City to General Ridge is full of mountain roads. The Japanese marched for five hours in a hurry, according to speed, and they could reach General Ridge."

"But this is the ideal speed of marching, and it is impossible to keep marching for five hours. Therefore, it is estimated that it will take at least one or two more hours to detour from Zhenting City to General Ridge according to this Japanese reinforcement route."

Xu Rui looked at the map and said in a voice in the early morning light: "That is to say, if the 2nd Japanese Brigade wants to arrive at General Ridge, it is estimated that it will take about 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. to kill General Ridge after dawn?"

"Yes, the group seat."

Luo Youdu nodded and said.

"Then there is no problem!"

Xu Rui said in a narrow voice: "Now there are two and a half hours left before dawn. We must solve the remnants of the 36th Division in Duguling before dawn."

"So, under the cover of artillery fire, we will really fight a tough battle."

Luo Youdu nodded, this was something that he had expected.

"Gu Jiaping!!!"

At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly said to communications consultant Gu Jiaping.

"Team."

The Gu family stands at the right path.

"You immediately ask the communications soldiers to send a report to the left-behind troops in Jinghai County, and ask them to drag the twelve 105mm howitzers seized from the Japanese Artillery Corps from Dingjun Mountain and directly use trucks to pull them to Duguling to participate in the war."

Xu Rui said in a despair: "It is estimated that there is still time to let them quickly send the 105mm howitzer here along the road from Jinghai County to Duguling."

"Participate in the battle to shell the remains of the Japanese on Duguling Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiaping stood attentively and saluted, "Yes, the team." Then Gu Jiaping immediately walked down the hillside, and then quickly asked his communication soldiers to report to his own guards who were left behind in Jinghai County.

"I guess those twelve 105mm howitzers can be dragged to Duguling by truck after six in the morning."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said in a voice.

"Um!"

Xu Rui nodded and said, "So, we must use the twelve 105mm howitzers we seized to participate in the shelling of Duguling."

"With the blessing of this large caliber howitzer artillery fire, it is highly likely that you will have a high chance of success by taking Dugu Ling before dawn. Otherwise, after dawn, no matter how many Japanese fighter planes are, they will definitely be dispatched. At that time, we will definitely be affected."

Luo Youdu nodded, and now it depends on the situation of the next attack.

At this time, Xu Rui's artillery company commander Wang Dazhu was commanding the artillery group to continue to launch violent artillery bombardment on the main peak of Duguling and its surrounding dozens of hills.

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

The sharp roar of shells was in the air. Then, under the early morning night, shells hit the main peak of Duguling and its surroundings, and burst into sparks under the night.

Explosive fires were rising one after another, flashing one after another.

Although the Japanese soldiers kept hiding the cannon avoidance, there was no time to build anti-cannon holes and other artillery fortifications on the main peak of Duguling and the dozens of hills around it.

Therefore, most of the Japanese could only pray for the blessing of God Tianzhao, and curled up with their heads in their arms and pray that they were not killed by the fragments of the shells.
