The battle situation changed so quickly that even a veteran like Li Jijin was stunned for at least two seconds.
Until Yang Xiaoshan next to him touched him: "Company Commander, do you still want to rush?"
"Nonsense, give me the charge bug, I will blow the bugle myself! Charge me, but only give you five minutes to kill the enemy. When the bugle sounds, I will come back. Remember, we are here to blast the cannon.
"Li Jijin glared.
The high-spirited company commander Li Dal took the charge handed over by the signal corpsman, stood up, and puffed up his cheeks.
"Didi!" the sound of the charge horn resounded throughout the valley.
The blue guys got up and continued to rush.
The speed of the khakis increased again...
Because, many people choose to throw away their guns.
At this moment, true human nature tells everyone that life is still much more important than equipment.
Tang Dao was almost blinded by the determined operation of the Japanese artillery.
This should be the worst Japanese invader he has encountered since arriving in this time and space.
However, it would be better to have more Japanese people like this.
Because, not only the casualties of the death squads were far lower than he expected, but more importantly, the scumbag Japanese artillery had reserved at least 20 minutes for him.
In these precious 20 minutes, for a normal man, he can completely take a shower, go to bed, do other things, and even have enough time to have a cigarette afterward.
But what else can a group of men with guns do?
You can have several shots
The 12 veteran gunners were not just there to operate the mortars, they actually also assumed some of Tang Dao's unrealistic ambitions.
Now it's come true.
In order to save his artillery, Yanagawa Kazuo did not have time to issue an order to blow up the artillery to self-destruct.
In fact, when the retreat alarm sounded, no artilleryman had the courage to carry out the bombing order.
Their only courage was to escape to the mountains and forests where they would not be killed by the Chinese. It was as dark as ink and could give people a sufficient sense of security.
The whole army chased the Japanese deserters for five minutes before returning to the battlefield. A green flare made 12 gunners abandon their mortars and come to the Japanese artillery position.
The four 105 howitzer positions, which are stored 40 meters apart, are the most conspicuous because they are surrounded by a circle of sandbags.
50 soldiers were assigned to assist these 12 gunners, and the remaining 300 people, under the leadership of a group of skilled officers such as Tang Dao and Li Jijin, blasted various large and small artillery pieces left by the Japanese army in the artillery positions.
preparation.
For this, Tang Dao must take action himself.
Especially after seeing the operations of some Sichuan troops.
The Sichuan soldiers who were selected into the death squads are really timid and have no knowledge of military matters, but they really dare to do something interesting.
Go back to the lurking point and get a bunch of grenades to pile under the base of the mountain gun. That's all good.
Some people even worked so hard to move several boxes of artillery shells, and then stuffed a grenade into them, which meant using the grenade as a fuse to detonate the artillery shells.
"After throwing the grenade, I ran away. Brother Pao, I never loose my belt!" The soldier also expressed his attitude to Tang Dao with great arrogance.
Let's play ball! Just those boxes of cannonballs can send away everyone within a 50-meter radius, okay?
Sure enough, cold arrows from within are the hardest to guard against!
Tang Dao, Li Jijin and others were sweating all over their foreheads!
A group of brave Chinese soldiers did not die in the desperate charge, but died in the explosion after the victory. Will Kunizaki die laughing?
Tang Dao very rationally issued military orders. Among all the Sichuan troops, some went to clean the battlefield to see if the Japanese army had left any useful supplies; some went to collect the bodies and wounded; some went to the latent points to transport mortars and grenades.
The blasting work was carried out by Li Jijin's 2nd Company.
The remaining 300 officers and soldiers in the army took action quickly. No matter what they did, they only had 20 minutes.
It took 10 minutes for the four 105 howitzers to stand up again and fire 10 shots at the coordinates that had been calculated.
40 rounds of artillery shells are much less than the hundreds of rounds that fell on Highland 3 during the day, but those are already all the artillery shells that can be found on the position...
"Great victory, the death squads have captured the Japanese artillery positions and are preparing for demolition and evacuation!" Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi, as well as Tantai Mingyue, who were waiting anxiously in the Chinese headquarters, came to Zhuang Shisan, who was dancing and waving telegrams.
This should be regarded as the most humiliating moment in the history of the Japanese army. Tantai Mingyue, who had not smiled for a long time, smiled and wrote in her field diary: On November 30, our troops attacked the Japanese invaders Guozaki's artillery unit at night.
Position, this artillery position, the entire Japanese army fled without a fight. It only took 30 seconds for the position to change hands!
This report was published a few days later, and the Asahi Shimbun, the main news media on the Japanese island, naturally retorted conclusively, saying that China was so shameless that it used fake news to cover up its losses on the front line.
However, the war of words between the two sides did not last long. A few days later, the Kunisaki detachment withdrew from the Jinling attack battle, which basically explained everything.
Of course, that was Tantai Mingyue, but she didn’t know it yet, but the arrogant Japanese army officer opposite was vomiting blood.
Otherwise, she would add a line to her battlefield Japanese army: The leader of the army, Kunizaki, was stunned! Congratulations to the frontline soldiers!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Kunizaki, whose head and face looked like a gray mouse, turned red as he looked at the bullets falling on the battlefield.
Although the level of China's artillery fire is really average, dozens of artillery shells actually landed on his army's positions, but only a dozen, and the hit rate was less than one-third.
However, it is certain that dozens of Imperial officers and soldiers were caught off guard and turned into ashes in the artillery fire.
Encountering artillery fire was not the first encounter for this major general-level commander.
But it was the first time in his life for Major General Kunisaki to be bombarded by his own howitzers.
"How did this bastard Yanagawa Kazuo do this?" Kunizaki looked at everything in front of him with almost dull eyes, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
It’s no wonder that Kunizaki was too narrow-minded. He was so angry that he was so angry. No one else might have been able to figure it out. After notifying the headquarters of the attack, the lights of the cars of an infantry brigade dispatched by the headquarters were still on the mountain road.
The circling motion is visible to the naked eye. Why did the shell fall on our own position?
Could it be that after he sent the telegram asking for help, he just ran away?
Don't tell me, excluding the thirty seconds between the suicide squad's charge and the bombing, this is almost the truth that Kunizaki guessed.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, calm down, your health is important!" Takeuchi Yunshan, who had been accompanying the commander at the headquarters to study tomorrow's attack tactics, gave his immediate boss a bear hug, and held his furious superior in his arms.
Seeing his own cannon killing one of his own, Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, who was already looking sullen and disgraced, suddenly, for some reason, was not sad at all, but instead felt secretly happy.
Compared to his mediocre attack performance during the day, Yanagawa Kazuo's behavior of losing the artillery position in such an obscure way made him the embodiment of wisdom.
After the war, if anyone wanted to make trouble, Yanagawa Kazuo would be the first to bear the brunt.
To put it bluntly, the scumbag who originally thought he was the last one suddenly discovered that he was actually the second last one.
The joy of rapidly rising in the rankings is really a joy that is indescribable to outsiders!
But at this time, greater joy actually followed.
If the man in his arms cannot catch his breath, then maybe it is a gift from Amaterasu!
The penultimate scumbag starts to imagine that his boss is dead. Not only can he put all the blame on the boss, but he might also become the boss, right?
Human desires are so infinitely expanded.
Unfortunately, he obviously thought too much.
Although he stayed up a long night and was furious at the almost impossible battle situation, Kunizaki was still in the prime of his life after all.
After taking a breath in the arms of his subordinate whose heart was pounding, Kunizaki finally stood up strong again.
"The Chinese dared to cross mountains and attack because they were familiar with the terrain. They ordered the Third Brigade to speed up the march. At the same time, they ordered the Fourth Brigade to go for reinforcements. They were ordered to pursue them first and occupy each important place, and wait until dawn before launching the attack.
We must annihilate this small Chinese force!" Kunizaki's dazed eyes were frightening.
"If we don't kill them, they may still have such intentions after tasting the sweetness. I will hang the attacker's corpse all over the mountain road."
"Hi!" All the junior and senior officials in the Japanese military headquarters bowed their heads in response.
Two Japanese infantry brigades, with a strength of 1,800 people, were like two long dragons, filling the entire mountain road.
Leng Feng on the high ground watched all this through the telescope, his heart involuntarily suspended.
Escape from the Japanese pursuit is obviously more difficult than a night attack...
