Chapter 97: A 400mm caliber heavy artillery?

"hey-hey!!!"

Xu Rui smiled, and then followed the military staff to take a map over, unfolded it, and pointed to the map with the help of the night light tonight, then explained: "If we can capture the Huting stronghold, the three Japanese defensive strongholds tonight, Hanjia Town and Xujia Town."

"So, then, will it be better to rush south to rush south next, and then, while the Japanese have not had time to react, it will be easy to fight here?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhenping and others followed a place on the map pointed by Xu Rui, and everyone suddenly realized it.

"Royal Head, you are going to take advantage of Zhu Ming's new 15th Cavalry Battalion to quickly and quickly take advantage of Zhu Ming's new 15th Cavalry Battalion. After capturing the Huting Stronghold, go south and fight to the Xiushui River Bridge!"

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping saw the location on the map that was Xiushuihe Bridge, and his face immediately shook, and he seemed very excited.

"Ice Fruit!!!"

Xu Rui smiled and snapped his fingers with his hands, saying, "That's right, about eight kilometers south of the Huting Staff is the Xiushui River that spans the east and west."

"The Xiushui River Bridge on this river is a major transportation route connecting the Huting stronghold and Jinghai County, about 12 kilometers south of the south bank."

After pausing, Xu Rui continued to whisper: "So, if we have the opportunity, after capturing the Huting stronghold, we can take advantage of Zhu Ming's new 15th Cavalry Battalion's rapid maneuvering and rushing to the Xiushuihe Bridge in one go, and have a great chance of successfully seizing the bridge."

"Once you capture this bridge, hahaha, the old Japanese devil Taro Miyamoto, the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese, is still thinking about counterattacking and suppressing our 303rd Regiment. Let's dream then!"

When everyone heard this, they felt that they had a good chance to seize the bridge.

However, the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming reminded: "For this bridge, Taro Miyamoto will definitely send troops to garrison."

"In addition, the Japanese at the Huting Stronghold are the first infantry brigade of the Chongteng Regiment of the Fourth Brigade, and the Japanese brigade-level troops are equipped with one or two radio stations. Once the battle starts, the Japanese at the Huting Stronghold will definitely report the war situation to the Fourth Brigade headquarters."

"If Taro Miyamoto is smart, he will definitely order the devils stationed in Xiushui River Bridge to guard the death."

Xu Rui shrugged and said, "Although that's what we said, we're just a time difference."

"Also, we are fighting a fast maneuver to move south. Zhu Ming's 15th Cavalry Battalion was added to participate in the war. Regardless of whether there is a chance of success or not, it would be okay to try it. After all, we have the advantage of night cover. At night, the Japanese's air superiority cannot pose a bombing threat to the cavalry battalion."

"Of course, it will be very difficult to go south to capture the bridge during the day. Now that you have this opportunity, it will be no trouble to try it."

After hearing this, everyone felt that Xu Rui was right.

After all, Zhu Ming's newly-edition 15th Cavalry Battalion can also exercise the cavalry battalion's maneuvering ability!

As such, let’s train troops through combat!

"Group, then let's quickly take down the Huting stronghold and other places before talking about it!"

First battalion commander Chen Zhenping then said in a voice.

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to Chen Zhenping and others: "It's 11:45 pm now. In fifteen minutes, each unit will move to the designated attack position."

“Yes, the group.”

First battalion commander Chen Zhenping and others nodded.

Immediately, everyone dispersed and the command troops began to move towards the Huting stronghold, Xujia Town and Hanjia Town on both sides of the Huting stronghold.

Thanks to the situation in the Xujia Town and Huting strongholds provided by Duan Peng, who was rescued by Xu Dahu, and the reconnaissance company's division of troops to Hanjia Town, Xujia Town and Huting strongholds were investigated.

Xu Rui commanded the troops and launched operations according to the negotiated attack strategy.

The night was strong, and with the help of the night's cover, Xu Rui commanded the troops to unfold smoothly.

Wang Dazhu, the company commander of the artillery company, built an artillery position in a suitable place, aiming at the direction of the muzzle and pointing to the Hu Pavilion stronghold under the night.

Seven or eight minutes later, the two battalion commanders and artillery companies and the reconnaissance companies sent people to report to Xu Rui that the troops were ready.

"The regiment seat, the first battalion has been in place!"

"The Second Battalion is in place, the regiment seat!"

"Toward Hanjia Town and Xujia Town, the two wings, the ambush troops were launched on the way, and the ambush was ready!"

"The regiment seat, the artillery company has calibrated the artillery bombardment!"

"The reconnaissance company has cleared the secret wards of the Japanese outside the Huting stronghold and other three strongholds!"

The battalion commanders of each battalion, the artillery company commander and others sent people to whisper to report the troops' attack preparations. Xu Rui nodded, and then looked at the mechanical watch on his right wrist in the darkness. The time had already reached 11:53 pm.

"Tell all departments to attack the signal flares at about midnight!"

Xu Rui whispered to the messenger.

“Yes, the group.”

The messenger responded in a low voice, and then left with his body to pass the command.

Xu Rui was lying on a low slope, in the dense grass on the low slope, staring at the Hu Pavilion stronghold under the night with a telescope.

The Huting Fortress consists of several circular bunkers made of blue bricks and stones. Most of the shooting holes on it are riflemen and some machine gunners.

According to the number of machine guns in an Japanese infantry brigade, there are twenty-four light machine guns in an Japanese infantry brigade, twelve heavy machine guns, twenty-four grenade launchers, two Type 92 infantry cannons, and several 82mm caliber mortars that may be strengthened.

"Mad, these bunkers, I'll see you hit with thunderbolts later!"

Xu Rui sneered secretly.

"Haqiu, Haqiu, Haqiu!"

When Xu Rui lay in the grass on the low slope and sneered at the Japanese bunker, he seemed to have some sense of the situation, Major Wen Shu Ishida, the first infantry captain of the 4th Japanese Brigade.

I sneeze three times in a large bunker facing southward at the Huting stronghold. After the slap, I couldn't help but feel excited, "Bageyalu, who told me to curse me!"

"Captain, have you caught a cold?"

At this time, Captain Konishi Noburo, the chief of staff of the brigade next to Tsubasa Ishida, asked with concern: "The temperature tonight is lower than the one a few days ago. Captain, I will ask someone to pick up a coat for you."

"Thank you Xiaoxijun for your concern, it's okay!"

Major Ishida Toshiju smiled and said.

"Captain, you are polite!"

Chief of Staff Noburo Konishi smiled and said, "Captain, go back and rest!".

"I'm on night tonight, staring at Heyuan County in the north. If Xu Rui's troops showed signs of going south, they would not be able to escape the two cordons that we set up ten kilometers north and five kilometers north!"

Seeing this, Tsubasa Ishida felt that it was almost twelve o'clock. It was just when I fell asleep, so I was not polite, so I smiled at Chief of Staff Captain Noburo Konishi and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, Konishi Jun."

"It's all for the Empire and His Majesty the Heavenly Locust. It's not hard to do a low-level position or not."

Noburo Konishi smiled and said.

Afterwards, Konishi Noburo waited for Shinshu Ishida to walk out of the only door of the big bunker where he was located, and prepared to salute and watch Shinshu Ishida back to the back to rest.

However, Ishida Tsubusu was just about to leave.

Suddenly, three signal flares exploded in the sky dozens of meters in the night sky of the Huting stronghold.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Three signal flares suddenly exploded, and the white fireworks directly illuminated the Hu Pavilion stronghold below.

"Baga, signal flare!"

"Enemy attack, captain!"

Ishida Toshiju and Konishi Noburo's expression changed drastically at the same time, and they both said loudly.

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

The signal flare exploded violently above the Huting stronghold for less than two seconds. With deafening explosions, Master Ishida's face changed drastically again.

"This is a 400mm caliber heavy artillery?"

When Ishida Wen Shu heard the huge explosion, she immediately trembled in horror.

"Captain, hurry up, order a counterattack, fight back!"

At this time, Captain Konishi Noburo, the chief of staff of the brigade, pushed Ishida Tsubasa and said anxiously with horror.
