In Erdaohe, the Japanese army's defensive position, after a hard battle during the day, the number of people suddenly reduced to less than 700, the middle and upper brigade was burying their pots and cooking.
In the simple barracks, the bed boards were filled with wounded soldiers, and there were people moaning in pain.
The Middle and High Brigade was the guard brigade of the 4th Brigade, so they were usually not equipped with any heavy weapons. It was only when they received the order to set off that they were equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons.
However, this little firepower was enough to deal with ordinary armed forces, but they encountered an independent regiment that had changed their equipment. In just five or six hours, the artillery bombardment had killed nearly 400 people.
In the command tent of the Middle Middle Team, Middle Middle Team Wild Horse, who was wearing the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, sat on a wooden stake. He looked at the rice balls and canned food on the table without any appetite.
"Captain, you should eat a little. Otherwise, this cold night will be very difficult to pass.”
The combat staff officer, Hanada Taro, stood at the side and advised Wildhorse in a low voice.
"Grand Wolf Lord, I really can't eat it.”
"Have you sent the telegram to the brigade commander?" Wildhorse shook his head bitterly.”
"Hi, I sent it ten minutes ago.”
Hanada Taro nodded.
"Did you receive a call back? Or rather, when would the reinforcements arrive?”
"I'm sorry, captain. The regiment commander called and told us to hold on for three days. When the Sakata United Army takes down Red Pine Ridge, they can join forces to annihilate the Chinese troops opposite us.”
"Nani? Persevere for three days?"
Wildhorse raised his head and looked at Taro Hanada in disbelief. When Taro Hanada nodded in confirmation, he almost fell to the ground.
Three days. Today was one day. There were still two days left. It seemed easy and short, but in reality, if they persisted for another two days, the Middle and High Brigade would probably be completely wiped out.
What was the situation of the middle and upper brigade now? A regiment of the Eighth Route Army was facing a regiment of the Japanese army carrying heavy weapons, and it was an elite ace regiment.
Not only did this regiment have 75mm mountain cannons, but they also had two 105 caliber heavy artillery. How could they last for three days under such circumstances?
"Great Captain, if we continue to fight like this tomorrow, we will be in danger of being completely wiped out. We must think of a way to change the situation.”
Hanada Taro gave his suggestion to Nakagami Wildhorse.
"Change?"
From the corner of his eyes, Wildhorse could see the starry night sky outside. He seemed to have understood something." Lord Wolf, you want to organize troops to attack the Chinese Army at night?"”
"Haiyi!"
"We'll organize a small elite unit equipped with submachine guns and launch a sudden night attack. It's best if we can destroy their artillery position in one fell swoop."
As long as the cannons were gone, the balance of power between the two sides would be restored. He believed that with the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, it would not be a problem for them to stop the three Chinese regiments for two days.”
"Oh my…Wolf, your idea is not bad. Go and prepare!”
"As long as we win this battle, I'll recommend you to the brigade commander to serve as the captain of a brigade."?”
"Haiyi, thank you for your guidance, captain!”
When Hanada Taro heard Wild Horse's promise, his wretched face immediately revealed an excited chrysanthemum smile.
Tong... A thunderclap that sounded like a landslide appeared out of thin air, startling Wildhorse and Hanada Tailang, who were talking and plotting in the tent.
In fact, it was not only them. The Japanese on the battlefield and even the people within a radius of dozens of miles were all alarmed by this strange sound. Almost all of them walked out of their homes and looked at the sky out of curiosity.
"Grand Wolf Lord, will there be thunder in winter?”
Standing outside the tent, Nakagami Nouma noticed that there were stars in the sky and no clouds in the sky. He turned to look at Hanada Taro beside him.
"Captain, it's Liu Xing!"
Hanada Taro pointed at the southern sky.
"Meteor?"
Wildhorse was stunned. He picked up the binoculars hanging on his chest and looked over.
Whoosh... A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out. Middle-Middle Wildhorse immediately put down his binoculars and roared,"Baka, it's artillery fire…" Dodge…"
Whoosh... Tong... Boom...
The dazzling meteor with sparks in the sky smashed into the middle and upper brigade's position in the next second. In an instant, the ground shook, and endless smoke, fire, and soil mixed together and swept across the sky, forming a mushroom cloud that was more than 30 meters tall.
Immediately after, the airwave spread wildly in all directions from the point of landing. Anything that blocked its way was torn into dust.
On a small hill more than ten miles away, the officers of the Independent Regiment who were equipped with binoculars opened their mouths wide. Through the binoculars, they saw the mushroom cloud rising from the Japanese defense position. They were speechless for a long time.
"Old Ding, Old Kong, the division headquarters asked us to retreat just for this?”
Li Yunlong's eyes were wide open. His right hand pointed in the direction of the Middle High Brigade, and his lips were trembling. He had fought more than twenty battles and participated in more than a hundred battles. He had also seen many powerful cannons, but this was the first time he had seen something like this.
"Good boy…"
Kong Jie put down his binoculars and exclaimed,"I've long heard that Qinglong Mountain has cannons above 200mm. I didn't expect to see them today."”
"That's right. It seems that the Qing Long Mountain must have been responsible for the bombing of Anji County's arsenal a few months ago.”
Ding Wei also put down his binoculars and looked at his watch. At 7:45, the general attack was about to begin.
Tong... Whoosh... Another meteor came from afar. After flying quickly over the sky above the independent regiment, it accurately smashed into the middle and upper brigade's position. A few seconds later, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky again.
"God, do we still need to fight this war? With this thing, every time a war started, they would fire a few shots. What war could they not win?”
"Are you stupid? Do you think the Japanese's planes are weak? Besides, don't you know how expensive cannonballs are?”
The company commanders of the Independent Regiment discussed one after another, their faces full of excitement and joy. In the past, they had been bombarded by the Japanese cannons. Today, their roles had been reversed. There was no need to mention the relief in his heart.
"Hey, Old Kong, you've talked to the Independent Division before. Do you know what cannon fired this? When you have time, bring our Old Li to experience it.”
Li Yun Long used his hand to pull Kong Jie, his dog face full of flattery.
"Old Li, stop dreaming. This weapon is obviously a military secret. Why would they let you see it?”
Ding Wei pursed his lips. Then, he shook the watch given to him by the Independent Regiment." Let's organize the troops. It's time."”
"Damn it, you're the only one who talks so much!”
" Hmph!" Li Yunlong snorted and turned to his team." Zhang Dabiao, fire the signal gun and start the general attack!"”
"Yes, sir!"
The bearded man, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, saluted Li Yunlong and raised his signal gun to the sky.
Pa... A red signal flare slowly flew into the sky. When the thousands of soldiers of the independent regiment saw it, they all started to move in an organized manner.
"Quick, launch the general attack. Don't forget that the 2nd Battalion got the first credit.”
"Quick, attack. The 3rd Battalion, charge forward. Kill the Japanese today, charge!”
