"Commander, these seem to be the artillery pieces of the Japs?" Fang Ligong asked in surprise: "Could it be that our reinforcements are coming?"
Chu Yunfei held up his binoculars and sneered: "Reinforcements have been beaten into a pot of porridge everywhere. Where can we find reinforcements to support us?"
After a pause, Chu Yunfei said disdainfully: "They were still asking us for reinforcements before, how could they come to support us again?"
"Who could that be?" Fang Ligong said, "It can't be the special force we sent. How long have they been out?"
Chu Yunfei said confidently: "I feel that he must be someone we are very familiar with."
"A particularly familiar person?" Fang Ligong felt a little confused. Do they have any acquaintances who could come here to rescue the 358th Regiment?
Chu Yunfei did not answer, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Tuanzuo, you mean Ding Wei?" Fang Ligong reacted suddenly.
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "That's right, who else has the courage except him?"
"Where is the 28th Regiment? How could it appear here?" Fang Ligong said, "This is completely unreasonable."
"Let's go, look at the map!" Chu Yunfei walked quickly to the table, looked at the battle map on the ground, and said, "Brother Ligong, look, there is a railway behind the Japanese artillery."
"Well, but what does this mean?" Fang Ligong reacted suddenly: "Tuanzuo, you are saying that the Japanese railway was attacked not long ago, and it was Ding Wei who led the attack!"
Chu Yunfei nodded heavily: "That's right. Then, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese army, they were driven into this combat zone by the Japanese army and accidentally killed the Japanese artillery position!"
As he spoke, Chu Yunfei put his hands on the table and said coldly: "Besides, apart from them, I can't think of anyone else who has such great ability."
They had not seen each other for a long time since they parted ways in Heyuan County, and Chu Yunfei missed Ding Wei a little.
Do you want to take this opportunity to catch up with Ding Wei?
I remember that I still have a battalion of equipment, which is in the hands of Ding Wei and has never been returned to me. This is a good opportunity to meet him.
Fang Ligong remained silent. He didn't want to say such words to increase others' prestige and destroy his own morale.
"Setting down..." Fang Ligong coughed twice to remind Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei came back to his senses and put away his longing expression.
At this time, the rumbling sound of artillery outside gradually stopped. Chu Yunfei walked quickly to the observation port, picked up the telescope, and looked at the battlefield ahead.
Artillery is indeed the current king of the battlefield.
Because they did not disperse in time, this group of Japanese soldiers suffered a heavy blow.
8 Type 92 infantry guns, 4 105mm howitzers, 3 75mm field guns, 3 150mm howitzers, and 2 105mm field cannons.
All the shells from 20 artillery pieces were thrown on this battlefield. How can the little devil be described as miserable?
Ding Wei and the others couldn't take away all these artillery pieces, so there was no reason for Ding Wei to feel sorry for him. How could he save cannonballs for the little devils?
Naturally, it can blast as many shells as it can blast.
This battlefield looked like it had been plowed over and over, with potholes everywhere. From time to time, Japanese soldiers could be seen struggling and wailing in the pits.
Although there are not many artillerymen in the army, it is difficult to fire cannons, that is, to mark the location. If you really fire cannons, it is just a matter of pulling a match rope.
At first they were not familiar with it, so the artillery fire rate was a bit slow. Later, as they became more proficient, the fire rate became faster and faster, and the Japanese soldiers also suffered a heavy blow.
When the sound of artillery weakened, the sound of the Japanese soldiers crying and howling became clearer on the battlefield.
The injured Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground were rolling in pain on their faces due to the severe pain in their bodies. Some Japanese soldiers were crawling around on the ground, trying to seek help from their companions.
The Japanese soldiers lying on the ground finally got a chance to breathe and looked at the messy battlefield around them.
They couldn't care less about saving their comrades, they only had one idea at the moment.
Withdraw, withdraw quickly!
Only when you return to your own position will you be very safe.
This thought filled the minds of all the Japanese on this battlefield, and the great rout began.
First, a Japanese soldier let out a strange cry, quickly got up from the ground, and ran towards his own position.
Followed by the second and third, more and more Japanese soldiers gave up the attack and chose to turn back and run.
They no longer care about the companions around them, they just want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
They were bombed inexplicably, completely destroying their so-called Bushido spirit.
"Balls and sacks."
"Just help me."
"Take me with you, don't leave me."
…
Such calls for help echoed on the battlefield one after another.
These injured Japanese soldiers asked for help from their companions, hoping that they could take them away with them.
But this group of Japanese soldiers could not protect themselves, and they were not in the mood to take care of them. When these wounded Japanese soldiers grabbed the ankles of their companions, they responded with an unceremonious kick.
Seeing the embarrassment of the fleeing Japanese, Chu Yunfei did not give up the opportunity to attack and immediately issued the order to charge.
They had suffered a huge loss at the hands of these Japs before, so how could Chu Yunfei miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog?
Without any hesitation, Chu Yunfei immediately issued the order to attack. Under his order, the three companies immediately launched an attack on this group of Japanese deserters.
Cries of death echoed on the battlefield.
Hundreds of soldiers from these three companies held guns and fired at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.
Harsh gunshots rang out one after another, and another dozen Japanese soldiers were shot and fell. It was too late for the defeated soldiers to fire back.
Hearing the gunshots coming from behind, the Japanese soldiers ran a little faster, fearing that if they ran a step slower, they would be shot to death.
They didn't look as arrogant as before, just like a bunch of lost dogs.
"Hahaha, regimental leader, look, look, how brave our soldiers are!" Fang Ligong raised the telescope on his chest with one hand, looking high-spirited.
The battlefield was about to be lost, and Fang Ligong was worried about what to do next.
He had already thought about how to take the road ahead, how to arrange his troops, and even where to turn his tactics after he fell.
But he did not expect that someone would assist the 358th Regiment in the battle, and instantly reverse the decline of the 358th Regiment and boost the morale of the army.
Chu Yunfei's face was expressionless, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
Because he knew very well that the situation on the battlefield could become like this, and it had nothing to do with him. Instead, it was because of Ding Wei's help that he was able to get a chance to breathe.
Chu Yunfei had already begun to reflect on why he had never thought of finding another way and not contacting the Japanese from the front.
Obviously he has trained special operations troops, but his thoughts are still limited to fighting in large groups.
"Team leader, we finally have good news to spread this time." Fang Ligong said excitedly: "I believe that Shangfeng will be very happy when he knows about our victory."
Fang Ligong's thinking is very simple. If they can persist to the end, no matter what the final result of the war is, Chu Yunfei's reward will definitely be indispensable.
If I had polished the results this time and blurred the real situation, the top score would definitely have been the 358th Regiment.
Fang Ligong was already thinking about how to write a battle report, focusing on describing the bravery of the 358th Regiment.
"Brother, do you want to withhold the credit this time?" Chu Yunfei asked without turning his head.
Chu Yunfei was an upright man, and Fang Ligong knew it very well. After many years of hard work in the army, he immediately understood the meaning of Chu Yunfei's words.
"Tuanzu, it's not that we won't stop you, it's the way it must be." Fang Ligong said without blushing.
"?" Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong.
Fang Ligong had already had an idea in his mind: "Regiment leader, the 358th Regiment needs a victory. If we really report this matter completely, I'm afraid Shangfeng will not be happy.
And the superiors will definitely doubt you, why are you related to them, which will arouse the suspicion of the superiors, you also know..."
Fang Ligong didn't say what he said clearly, but Chu Yunfei understood it very well.
"I am a soldier." Chu Yunfei took a deep breath and said, "How can I covet the credit of others?"
Fang Ligong added: "It is precisely because you are a soldier that you must obey Shangfeng's orders and do what Shangfeng wants."
After a pause, Fang Ligong continued: "If you make Shangfeng unhappy, what will your future be like? Even if someone loves you, your future will be slim in order to frighten the troops."
"..." Chu Yunfei.
"Besides, no one knows who they are." Fang Ligong said: "We can say that we repelled the Japanese attack, successfully inflicted heavy damage on the enemy, and defended the position. We will not mention other things.
In this way, the most we can do is conceal the merits of the Eighth Route Army, and we are not coveting their merits."
In terms of military affairs, Fang Ligong is not as good as Chu Yunfei, but with all these sects, three Chu Yunfei cannot compare to one Fang Ligong.
The reason why Fang Ligong was placed in the 358th Regiment was because his main job was Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei felt a little tight in his chest. He just wanted to fight against the enemy and save the country, so why did he have to think about so many things.
This was the case in Cangyunling. Chu Yunfei felt very regretful afterwards. He should have fired a few shots at the Japanese army or deliberately lured them to attack.
Fortunately, Ding Wei appeared later, otherwise Chu Yunfei would have blamed himself very much.
"Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you." Chu Yunfei was a little irritated, waved his hand to signal Fang Ligong to leave, and continued to look at the battlefield.
Many of the comrades of these three companies were killed in the Japanese attack. How could such an opportunity for revenge be missed so easily?
They pursued all the way and knocked down nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers. They did not return to the battlefield until they were close to the Japanese attack position.
At this moment, there were many wounded Japanese soldiers lying on the ground in this battlefield, and these Japanese soldiers became the target of the hundreds of Jinsui troops to vent their anger.
The soldiers of the three companies held their bayonets straight and began to strike again on the battlefield, venting all the accumulated anger in their hearts on these wounded Japanese soldiers.
The sound of "Puff, Puff" piercing flesh and blood resounded on the battlefield one after another, mixed with the screams of the Japanese soldiers.
But for the Jinsui Army, which had suffered so much from these Japs, they would not care about them. No matter how they begged, they would all be given a knife.
All the staff officers of the Nanchuan Regiment were dumbfounded when they saw their own troops fleeing back.
Especially when the bombardment started, they saw with their own eyes that the tank in which their regimental commander and chief of staff were riding was turned into scrap metal by a single shell, and they could not recover for a long time.
This attack not only failed, but even the number one and number two figures in the Nanchuan United Team were all killed. This attack was completely beyond their expectations.
This attacking force consisted of a large group, with a strength of up to 1,000 people.
But the number of soldiers who came back was less than 800. Although this number sounds like a lot, almost half of these soldiers were injured.
And they lost most of their weapons and equipment, all of which were abandoned on the battlefield.
If it's just a simple injury, then there are more serious problems to come.
Almost every soldier who came back had great emotional problems. They could no longer pick up a gun, or even dared to continue touching it.
This has exposed a huge problem for the Japanese army. Because of their multi-line operations, problems with their troop sources have begun to appear...
And these problems will become the most fatal problems among the Japanese troops in the future.
Looking at these frightened soldiers who were chattering like quails, the other two Japanese captains suddenly became furious.
But no matter how they beat, scolded or urged them, these guys who had suffered a mental breakdown remained indifferent.
After this group of defeated soldiers ran back to their positions, they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling with fear on their faces.
These two captains are also currently the highest-ranking commanders of the Nanchuan Regiment. According to the regulations on the battlefield, they will take over the temporary command of the Nanchuan Regiment.
The fear spread among the team instantly.
Victory can indeed greatly inspire military morale, but once they suddenly begin to collapse, the consequences will be equally disastrous.
Not to mention that although the Nanchuan Regiment is called a regiment, most of them are actually new recruits. After they were recruited into the army, they were trained for a few months before being thrown into the battlefield.
For these soldiers who have never seen blood to experience these things for the first time, it is really a huge psychological challenge for them.
Obviously, they failed to meet this challenge.
The soldiers watching the show around him also had a bit of panic in their eyes.
The two Japanese captains quickly realized that they could not let the matter continue to ferment, and they immediately dispersed the surrounding soldiers who were watching the excitement.
"Akita-kun, the situation is not good." The Japanese officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel on his collar said solemnly.
The Japanese military officer known as Akita-kun gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Kono-kun, I can see this and I don't need you to remind me."
The attack was originally going very smoothly, but who would have thought that it would suddenly become like this.
Lieutenant Colonel Kono looked gloomy and said in a cold voice: "Akita-kun, what I mean is, what should we do next, and how should we direct the battle below."
"How do I know!" Lieutenant Commander Akita said dissatisfied: "The enemy appeared inexplicably with a large number of artillery pieces..."
"Artillery!" Lieutenant Colonel Akita reacted suddenly: "Artillery, the problem lies with the artillery!"
After being reminded by Kono Nakazuichi, Akita finally came to his senses: "The heavy artillery that supported the battlefield just now seems to have all come from our own artillery positions."
"No, it seems, it is our artillery!" Lieutenant Colonel Kono said coldly: "If nothing else happens, the enemy must have also attacked our artillery position at the same time!"
"Damn it, we should have thought of this a long time ago, Baga, these Chinese soldiers are so abominable!"
"Hey, come quickly, come to the artillery regiment immediately..." Lieutenant Colonel Kono turned around and shouted.
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought, the artillery regiment was gone, so what was the point of still contacting them?
Then, he pointed at a second lieutenant at random and said: "You will lead an infantry team immediately, no!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kono looked at a major again and said: "Immediately take a squadron to the artillery wing and see what is happening over there!"
The current artillery position has gathered their only artillery power in order to successfully push closer from the 358th Regiment's station.
If there is a problem with the artillery position, it will be a very fatal blow to them.
The two Japanese soldiers finally thought that there might be something wrong with the artillery position, but it was too late for them to react.
"Kono-kun, we need to report this matter to the headquarters immediately and let the division commander know about it..." Akita Nakasa said.
Lieutenant Colonel Kono: "How will this matter be reported? If the division commander knew that the artillery position was taken away by the enemy, he would definitely be very angry."
These two guys never thought that the division command post would be destroyed along with the artillery position.
"Of course it is reported truthfully. The commander of the regiment and the chief of staff died together in the battle. We simply cannot bear the consequences of this incident!" Lieutenant Colonel Akita said solemnly.
Lieutenant Colonel Kono was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "In that case, please help Akita-kun and report this matter to General Mikami!"
This little devil is very arrogant, thinking that this is not a good job, so he refuses if he can. What if the division commander is blamed for this?
The battle went very smoothly before, how could you suffer so much damage?
To put it bluntly, if this leaves a bad impression on the division commander, how will he be promoted in the future?
Lieutenant Colonel Akita naturally understood what Kawano was thinking, and said coldly: "Kono-kun, I think we should report this matter together.
Otherwise, Your Excellency, the Division Commander, will definitely doubt the authenticity of this matter. If Your Excellency, the Division Commander, is convicted, I cannot be the one to bear the responsibility."
Akita's meaning is also very obvious. Neither of us can escape. If we want to bear the blame, we should bear the blame together.
Lieutenant Colonel Kono's inner thoughts were exposed, and he had no choice but to agree. The two of them sent a message to the division radio station, asking how to handle it next.
…
In the Japanese artillery position.
After bombing the Japanese army, Ding Wei became busy with the issue of retreat.
The bombing just now must have exposed the problem of the artillery position being captured, and the Japanese army will definitely go here to find out what happened.
Once they discover that there is an army here, the little devils will definitely send troops to surround this place frantically.
Ding Wei is not stupid. He has the division radio station and the map in his hands, so there is no need to waste time here.
Besides, the 358th Regiment is not our own troops. It is enough to help them relieve the current pressure and relieve the pressure on the front line.
Although they had just carried out intensive bombing on the Japanese army, there was still a lot of ammunition left, and it would be cheap to keep it, so Ding Wei had no hesitation.
In accordance with Ding Wei's request, the soldiers moved all the remaining artillery shells to various locations in the artillery position, and connected all the artillery shells with wires.
Several trucks at the Mikami Command Post were already filled with supplies, and these shells could not be taken away, so Ding Wei decisively chose to blow them all up.
Seeing Ding Wei playing with the wires, Second Battalion Commander Lu Fang quickly knew what Ding Wei wanted to do.
"Captain, you are giving the Japs a big gift. If all these shells explode, they will definitely blow up the Japs troops here." Lu Fang couldn't help but give Ding Wei a thumbs up.
Mikami Shinji and Kazama Yutetsu couldn't help but take a breath when they saw Ding Wei's actions.
If these shells explode together, it is estimated that all these artillery pieces will be turned into scrap metal. If there are more supporting troops at this time...
They no longer dare to think about what the consequences will be. They can only pray that there will be fewer support troops. The fewer the better!
They looked at Ding Wei with a bit of fear.
This opponent is simply too terrifying...
Ding Wei moved quickly, connected the wire to the artillery team leader, and asked him to kneel on the ground.
Just as we finished our work here, the radio station nearby rang again.
Ding Wei quickly walked to the division radio station, read the message sent by the Japanese, and immediately laughed.
As he expected, the Japanese army sent a report message. They were attacked by their own artillery and suffered a defeat on the battlefield. The artillery position was suspected of being attacked by the enemy. What should they do next?
Ding Wei first followed his usual practice and scolded these Japs, and then asked them to stand by and stop all attacks.
And immediately dispatch a force to support the artillery position and recapture the artillery no matter what.
After doing all this, Ding Wei and the others immediately evacuated the place.
With the Japanese's military defense map in hand, Ding Wei was ready to show his extraordinary command skills to the Japanese.
…
Japanese Army Division Headquarters.
The members of the Falcon Special Forces looked at the messy Japanese command post in front of them and didn't know what to do for a while.
They were already prepared for battle, and even prepared for a strong attack.
But who would have known that the Japanese command post had been taken away long ago, and the bodies on the ground were already cold. They had obviously been dead for a long time.
The corpses of the Japanese on the ground had all been stripped clean, and their buttocks were all naked, making it impossible to judge their military ranks.
The largest tent looked like it had been ransacked, with nothing left except a few naked bodies.
The members of the Falcon Special Forces looked at each other.
"Captain, what should we do?" one member asked.
The man who looked like the captain said irritably: "How do I know?"
It was their first time to carry out this kind of mission. They were very excited, thinking that their chance to become famous had come, but who knew that someone would actually beat them to it.
"What about now?" Another soldier asked.
"Retreat!" the captain said decisively: "Retreat!"
Now that the situation on the battlefield was unclear and they were deep into the enemy's hinterland, he could only make the best judgment based on the current situation.
Before retreating, they sent another message to Chu Yunfei, informing them that the mission had failed because the Japanese division headquarters had been taken away.
358th Regiment command post.
Chu Yunfei paced back and forth in the command post with his hands behind his back.
suddenly.
Fang Ligong quickly walked to Chu Yunfei and handed him a message: "Teacher, please take a look at this."
Chu Yunfei took the telegram and frowned immediately when he saw the content of the telegram.
"The headquarters of the Third Division has been taken away?" Chu Yunfei was dumbfounded.
But he soon thought about who had done this.
Ding Wei!
Since Ding Wei can take down the enemy's artillery positions, there must be no problem in taking over the enemy's command post.
Thinking of this name, Chu Yunfei felt a deep sense of loss.
It's like a goal that I have always wanted to surpass, but I can't surpass it, and I can't even touch Ding Wei's edge.
Ding Wei is always one step ahead of what he thinks.
In contrast, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt that his military academy was in vain, and he was actually not as good as Ding Wei, a half-monk.
This is undoubtedly the biggest blow to the self-esteem of Chu Yunfei, a self-proclaimed military academy student.
