Chapter 571
The straight line distance from Anhua to Dongxian is about 50 kilometers.
Fortunately, a highway was built between the two county towns, and the highway was still under the control of the third division, so the Wolf Warrior Brigade led by Wang Ye could still march along the highway.
However, there are only more than 30 people left in the Wolf Warrior Team.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Wang Ye led the Wolf Warrior Team to set off from Anhua County. By 12 o'clock in the evening, it had arrived outside the south gate of Dong County.
At this time, Feng Xianghe had already been waiting outside the south gate.
Although the Japanese 1st Division had already reached the city, it did not encircle Han County on all sides, but only set up camps in the north of the county town.
I have to say that the Japanese are indeed much more cautious than before.
In the past, even if the 1st Division did not encircle all sides, there was no doubt that it would be surrounded by three quarries and one.
But now, before completely destroying the counterattack capabilities of the 386th Brigade, we dare not garrison separately, because separate garrison means that we are more likely to be attacked by the 386th Brigade.
The night attack of the 386th Brigade is really unpredictable.
Seeing the person coming, Feng Xianghe quickly trotted forward.
"Who?" Wei Xilai shouted before the beating, "Command!"
"Northwest Shanxi Independent Group!" Feng Xianghe shouted, "Return to the order!"
"They are fighting the elite." Wei Xi replied back and forth, and then said, "Brother Mouse, is it you?"
"It's me." Feng Xianghe responded and asked again, "Where is the captain? Is the captain here?"
"Nonsense, I won't come, are you going to command?" Wang Ye groaned and said, "Where are your artillery troops and heavy machine gun troops?"
Feng Xianghe said: "They are afraid of delaying their time, so they have already gone to Jiugong Town to wait in advance."
Wang Ye said, "Okay, take your people with you and follow me quickly. Before four o'clock in the morning, you must find a suitable artillery position and determine the shooting elements. Time is a bit tight."
Feng Xianghe responded and took his people to follow Wang Ye.
...
On the main road from Ping'an County to Jiugong Town, Lou Daqiang was leading the artillery battalion directly under the Second Detachment to march overnight.
Although it is a flat road, due to the rainfall overnight, the mud is very muddy and difficult to walk on. From time to time, mules, horses or soldiers will slip and fall.
The warrior has no problem falling down, so it’s better to get up again.
It is very troublesome to fall down because the horse carries the parts of the mountain cannon and the shell box. In addition, the weight of the mule and horse itself weighs four or five hundred kilograms.
If this is pressed onto a person, it can easily lead to serious injuries.
In addition, it is easier to have problems when walking at night.
After coming from Ping'an County for more than 40 kilometers, three soldiers had their legs broken by mules and horses.
However, even so, Lou Daqiang could not slow down because his commander ordered him to rush to Jiugong Town before three in the morning.
Fortunately, there are less than twenty kilometers left.
There are three hours left, and it's time to do it.
However, Lou Daqiang kept urging.
...
At three o'clock in the morning, ten kilometers northwest of Dong County.
Wang Ye whispered: "Xiao Huihui, map!"
Wei Xilai quickly took out the map from his bag.
I turned on the flashlight again and emitted a little light from the gap of my fingers.
With this light, Wang Ye made marks on the map while calculating.
The flat land where we are now is the artillery position I think is. Because this attack is a suicide attack, it is much easier to choose an artillery position without considering concealment and disguise.
This position is about ten kilometers away from the county seat of Wanxian County, and about five to ten kilometers away from the military camp of the 1st Division. Nearly half of the military camps have exceeded the range of mountain cannons.
Therefore, this artillery position can only be an alternative.
Wang Ye chose six such artillery positions, which was the No. 6 position.
Where to choose a position in the end depends on Wei Dayong's detailed reconnaissance of the 1st Division's military camp, and it must be determined based on the specific location of the Japanese artillery positions.
But preparations can be done in advance.
Based on the distance and drop between the two positions, Wang Ye quickly calculated an approximate pitch angle, and the precise pitch angle also required final cultivation and verification.
At that time, the artillery will conduct a test-fire first.
As an observation group, Wei Dayong's group will provide correction parameters based on the test shooting.
As soon as the shooting order of position No. 6 was marked, the walkie-phone on Wei Xilai's back lighted up.
Wang Ye stepped forward and grabbed the phone and asked, "This is the two caves, this is the two caves, where are you?"
"Two caves and two caves, I'm the three caves." Wei Dayong's voice immediately sounded from the opposite side, "Now report to you the specific coordinate parameters of the Japanese artillery positions and material camps."
"Please wait a moment." Wang Ye immediately opened the notebook, picked up the pencil, and said, "Now it can be said."
Wei Dayong said: "There are three artillery positions in the 1st Division, with the central coordinates being xxx, yyy; aaa, bbb;, ddd, and the coordinates of the material camp are..."
Wang Ye quickly recorded the record. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Wei Dayong suddenly said: "Two holes and two holes, and a strange target was found, which was suspected to be a rapid strike force of the Japanese."
A quick strike force? Wang Ye was furious and asked, "To explain the situation briefly?"
Wei Dayong replied: "There are about a thousand Japanese devils, but they are still not sleeping. And more than 30 trucks have been parked near these thousand Japanese devils."
"Fuck!" Wang Ye cursed and said again, "Sign up the coordinates."
"Yes." Wei Dayong responded and reported the coordinates of the suspicious target.
Wang Ye quickly recorded the coordinates and said, "Three caves and three caves, continue to monitor!"
Wei Dayong's Step-1 Phone No. 3 had just subsided, and Li Yunlong's Step-1 Phone No. 1 was ringing.
"Two caves, I am Dongyao, please answer." Li Yunlong said, "Two caves, I am Dongyao, please answer."
"The two caves received, and the two caves received." Wang Ye spread out the map and said, "The coordinates of the selected area are eee, fff. Please come over immediately and repeat..."
After Wang Ye finished speaking, Li Yunlong said, "Dongyao received it, come soon!"
He said he would arrive soon, but he would arrive soon. In less than half an hour, Li Yunlong rushed to Wang Ye with three artillery battalions and a temporary heavy machine gun regiment.
Wang Ye said in surprise: "Captain, why are you so fast?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I'll know it's here as soon as I guess."
Wang Ye stopped talking nonsense, and immediately handed over the three marked maps to Lou Daqiang, Liu Mangang and Tu Feng, the three artillery battalion commanders, and asked the heavy machine gun regiment to step up the construction of heavy machine gun fortifications.
Half an hour later, all three artillery battalions had built positions.
Wang Ye turned on the walkie-talkie again and shouted: "Three caves and three caves, I am two caves."
Wei Dayong's reply was soon heard from the opposite side: "Dong San received, Dong San received, Dong Two, please come in."
Wang Ye glanced at the artillery that was about to stop working and said seriously: "The artillery is about to test the fire, pay attention to observation."
Wei Dayong replied: "Dong San received it, Dong San received it, artillery soldiers, please feel free to test the firing! Our observation team will closely observe the landing point of the shell! Repeat it..."
Wang Ye nodded slightly.
Lou Daqiang immediately shouted: "Test shot at the No. 1 position!"
The next moment, a loud sound rang out from the artillery position.
...
At exactly four o'clock in the morning, the 1st Division camp was still immersed in the quiet night.
Wei Dayong, with Duan Peng and Liang Jun, lurked on an unknown hill outside the Japanese camp.
There was originally a lurking whistle of the Japanese on this hill, but it had been killed by Wei Dayong.
Because it is a lurking whistle at night, there will be no change of duty until dawn, so there is no need to worry about exposure.
Wei Dayong had already set up the artillery team and aimed his vision at the Japanese fast strike troops.
I saw that more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from the Rapid Strike Force were still not asleep, and they gathered together to chat in groups of three or three. The chefs in the cooking squad had already gotten up and were busy preparing breakfast for the Rapid Strike Force.
At this moment, a faint stream of light passed through the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, this stream of light fell like a meteor, whooshing into the Japanese military camp.
However, the bounce was a little off, not only did not blow up the Japanese who quickly attacked the troops, but also did not blow up the cars.
Wei Dayong grabbed the microphone and said, "Two holes, the pitch angle drops by 5 tight places, the horizontal angle moves to the right by 10 tight places, repeat, the pitch angle drops by 5 tight places, and the horizontal angle moves to the right by 10 tight places, and the horizontal angle moves to the right by 10 tight places, and it's finished!"
...
Five kilometers away, the artillery position of the northwestern Shanxi Column.
Wang Ye shouted: "The pitch angle drops by 5 secret letters, the horizontal angle moves by 10 secret positions, fast!"
Lou Daqiang, Liu Mangan and Tu Feng immediately shouted: "There are all, the pitch angle drops by 5 secret positions, and the horizontal angle moves by 10 secret positions, fast!"
The gunners of the 36 cannons slightly turned the high and low aircraft and the direction aircraft and quickly adjusted it into place.
After a while, the 36 gunners shouted, and Lou Daqiang shouted loudly: "All of them are, ten rapid shots!"
The next moment, the gunners, ammunition and loaders of 36 artillery groups immediately became busy and shot out ten shells in the shortest time.
In just two minutes, 36 artillery groups completed ten rounds.
At this time, Tu Feng, Lou Daqiang and Liu Mangan had returned to their respective positions. Next, the three artillery battalions would fire shells at different coordinates.
Tu Feng and the other two quickly issued an order to correct the shooting of the people.
The gunners turned the high and low aircraft and directional aircraft frantically. Soon, the muzzles of 36 75mm caliber mountain cannons pointed in three different directions, and then they began to fire freely.
...
1st Division Camp.
Mifu Nakazawa was awakened from his sleep by the loud explosion.
When I picked up the sabre and rushed outside the Fangding tent, I saw that the camp of the Rapid Strike Brigade near the north exit of the military camp had been blown into a sea of fire, especially the more than 30 trucks allocated to the Rapid Strike Brigade, most of which had caught fire, and the soldiers of the Rapid Strike Brigade were also blown away.
"Baga!" Nakazawa Sanfu felt a little confused.
What does this mean? The artillery soldiers of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army hid in the town of Wan County. They could hit the southern end of their 1st Division camp in the morning, but they could hit the northernmost end of the camp at night. The 75th mountain cannon of the Eighth Route Army can have a range that will be farther after night? It must be more than ten kilometers, right?
Just as Miho Nakazawa was stunned, the screams of shells sounded in the air again.
"Hmm? Didn't it come from the direction of Dong County?" Nakazawa Sanfu heard it clearly, "It actually comes from the northwest? The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army actually took advantage of the night to transfer the artillery to the northwest?"
"Teacher Commander? What happened just now? Did the 386th Brigade launch a night attack?"
Amid the slightly panicked shouts, Chief of Staff Takahashi Manzo rushed over with a sabre.
"What are you doing?" Nakazawa Mifu groaned and said, "The sky cannot fall."
As soon as he finished speaking, rows of shells had already fallen into the military camp.
With the red light of the explosion of the shells, Mio Nakazawa and Mitozo Takahashi were surprised to find that the three positions of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Field Artillery Regiment were actually shot!
"Teacher Commander, this is a premeditated attack!" Takahashi Manzo shouted immediately, "but this time the target is the 3rd Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery and the 1st Ferry of Field Artillery!"
"Damn it." Mifu Nakazawa said gritting his teeth.
"The 386th Brigade is really hard to defend against!"
Takahashi Manzo said again: "Teacher Commander, you must stop them!"
When he turned his head, he happened to see the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade Katsuo Miyamoto coming over quickly.
Takahashi Manzo immediately reminded Mito Nakazawa: "Team Commander, hurry up and order the 2nd Cavalry Brigade to attack and destroy the artillery position of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest time!"
Ordering cavalry to attack is undoubtedly the best choice.
Perhaps, it is simply the only viable option.
Ordering the artillery to counterattack? I was anxious and had no idea of the exact location of the Eighth Route Army's artillery position. Isn't it a pity to use artillery to counterattack without determining the shooting elements?
The infantry was ordered to fight back, but it was too late to go.
There was a rapid strike brigade, but unfortunately it was blown up.
At that moment, Miyazo Mio shouted sternly: "Miyamoto, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade will attack immediately, find the artillery position of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest time and destroy it!"
"Hayi!" Miyamoto Katsuo paused, turned around and left in a hurry.
The next moment, the camp of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade became noisy.
The Japanese in the 1st Division, whether they are infantry or cavalry, have very high tactical qualities.
Less than five minutes before and after, the cavalry of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade quickly completed the assembly, and then it rushed out from several camp gates in the north like a flood that broke the dike.
The 2nd Cavalry Brigade is under the jurisdiction of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 15th Cavalry Regiment, the 16th Cavalry Regiment and the Cavalry Artillery Regiment. However, the Cavalry Artillery Regiment was temporarily assigned to the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, so there are only three cavalry regiments this time, but these three cavalry regiments are all large corpses with four cavalry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron.
Unlike some cavalry corps of mountain divisions, they are small corpses or cavalry brigades under their jurisdiction.
In short, in less than ten minutes, more than 4,000 cavalrymen from the 2nd Cavalry Brigade rushed out like a flood that broke the dam, chasing the flowing light in the night sky, rushing towards the northwest.
Although the reaction of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade was fast enough, Nakazawa Mifu still felt it was slow.
The reason is also very simple, because the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army fell like raindrops. In just a few minutes, the two artillery positions of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the positions of the 1st Field Artillery Regiment were blown into a sea of fire.
In the rolling flames, you can clearly see teams of artillery soldiers running wildly, and from time to time, a ball of flames suddenly bloomed. Either the cannons were overturned by the explosion, or the artillery soldiers were swallowed by the rolling flames. In a blink of an eye, three artillery positions had turned into burning hell.
The only thing to thank is that the artillery positions are not that dense.
Therefore, it is probably not that easy for the Eighth Route Army artillery to completely destroy the three artillery positions of the 1st Division, because the 2nd Cavalry Brigade would never give them enough time.
...
On the nameless hill outside the 1st Division Army camp.
Seeing that the three Japanese artillery positions were blown into a sea of fire, Wei Dayong, Duan Peng and Liang Jun felt extremely happy in the hearts of time. This feeling was really cool!
However, Wei Dayong still did not forget their jobs.
Through the field of vision of the artillery team mirror, Wei Dayong found that the bounce point of the 1st artillery battalion was deviated.
Wei Dayong grabbed the phone and shouted, "Two holes, two holes, I am the third hole. The bounce point of the 1st artillery battalion is deviated. The pitch angle rises by 6 secret positions, and the horizontal angle is called 8 secret positions on the left."
Wang Ye's reply was immediately heard from the opposite side of the phone: "Dongmen received it!"
After a moment, the 1st Artillery Battalion corrected the shooting of the corpses, and the shells accurately landed on one of the artillery positions, overturning one large-caliber heavy artillery after another onto the ground, which was so good!
While feeling secretly, Wei Dayong said again: "Duan Peng, Junzi, please pay attention to monitoring the movements of the Japanese material camp. After the artillery destroys the artillery positions of the 1st Division, we will continue to attack the Japanese material camp!"
"Don't worry, monk." Duan Peng snorted, "I've been closely monitoring it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jun suddenly roared: "Fuck, some Japanese are rushing up!"
Wei Dayong turned his head and looked at it quickly, and he saw a team of Japanese rushing up under the moonlight with the 38th bulb.
There were only a dozen Japanese soldiers in this team, but they opened a wavy straggler line dozens of meters wide, and they could tell at a glance that they were veterans of Japanese soldiers who had experienced many battles.
Liang Jun said: "It seems like a patrol team!"
It has to be said that the tactical qualities of the 1st Division's Japanese devils are really good. Even if they are just a patrol team, they can also push out the observation posts of the Eighth Route Army artillery nearby based on the result of the artillery attack in the division camp. Then they searched for several commanding heights that might serve as artillery observation posts.
Just after finding the second commanding height, we found Wei Dayong and the other three.
"Damn it!" Liang Jun cursed, "They want to send a signal to other patrol teams for help!"
Before he finished speaking, one of the Japanese officers raised the signal gun and fired a red signal flare into the night sky.
"Fuck!" Wei Dayong cursed, not daring to show off his strength anymore, immediately jumped up from the hillside, ran to the back of the mountain while shouting, "Retreat, retreat quickly! Retreat!"
Chapter completed!
