Behind is continuous artillery fire. In front is a hail of bullets.
dilemma.
The artillery shells fell, killing the Japanese invaders one after another.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before all the Japanese invaders are wiped out.
They were suppressed in the valley in front of the stronghold, with mountain ridges on both sides. The way back was cut off. Just using artillery shells could blow them all to pieces.
However, the Japanese commander quickly adjusted his deployment.
"Kill Chirp!"
"Kill Chirp!"
He ordered his troops to attack forward.
The quality of the Japanese soldiers was indeed high. They suffered heavy blows but did not collapse.
Each squadron and each squad quickly organized an attack team.
One by one, the Japanese invaders held guns and rushed forward, shouting.
"beat!"
"beat!"
Zhang Chu shouted repeatedly.
All weapons are ready to fire. You can fire as much as you want.
The howitzers were responsible for bombarding the Japanese invaders at the rear.
Mortars were used to bombard Japanese soldiers as they charged.
Other weapons can be released as long as they are aimed at the Japanese invaders.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Amidst the intensive gunfire, the Japanese invaders continued to fall.
However, the other Japanese aggressors continued to rush upward, and actually succeeded in getting within two to three hundred meters.
One day, the Japanese invaders set up grenade launchers and started bombing the stronghold.
At the same time, the Japanese invaders also set up their infantry artillery and began to counterattack.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Intermittently, artillery shells fell into the stronghold.
Although it did not cause too many casualties, it also showed that the Japanese invaders were indeed not weak. They were able to fight back in such a desperate situation.
"There are howitzers on Tubal Road!"
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
"There are howitzers on Tubal Road!"
"Requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
Through the radio, the Japanese invaders also successfully transmitted the information.
Stationed in Datong is the Japanese 26th Division. The division commander is Kuroda Shigenori. He is discussing the war with Takamori, the commander of the cavalry division.
"Nani?"
"Is there a howitzer on Tubal Road?"
"How can it be?"
After receiving the report from the chief of staff, Shigetori Kuroda was in disbelief.
Next to him, Takamori Takamori also felt incredible.
Tubal Road captured the Yanzigang stronghold, which surprised them. Howitzers were actually dispatched?
Weird...
Where did the howitzers on Tubal Road come from?
Falling from the sky?
That's a howitzer!
It’s not an ordinary mountain cannon! Even if it is a mountain cannon, there aren’t many on Tubal Road!
"The Tsuno Brigade did report that."
"Order Fujii Brigade to help verify."
Kuroda Shigenori still doesn’t believe it.
It might be acceptable to say that there are mountain cannons on Tubal Road.
Howitzers are overkill.
Most of them are homemade weapons from Tubalu.
"The Fujii Brigade has not yet reached the Yanzigang stronghold."
"Order them to move forward quickly."
"Tie!"
The chief of staff went out to deliver orders.
Kuroda Shigenori frowned. He felt that things were not that simple.
Since Tubal Road was able to capture the Yanzigang stronghold, it shows that it still has certain strength. It can blow up so many gun towers...
Could it be said that there are really howitzers on Tubal Road?
"Kuroda-kun, there really are howitzers on Tubal Road in the south." Takamori reminded friendlyly.
"I understand." Kuroda Shigenori did not dare to neglect.
Maybe Tubal Road really used some method to pull the howitzer from the south.
According to undisclosed private information, it was said that Tubal Road also used howitzers to bomb Taiyuan. The shells exploded in the headquarters of Yoshio Shinozuka.
This matter is a huge scandal. Therefore, discussion within the Japanese army is strictly prohibited, even among lieutenant generals.
However, privately, they still knew the news.
The First Army is really on its last legs.
Tubal Road cannot be suppressed at all. Tubal Road is getting stronger and stronger.
In Cangyunling, the Japanese army lost three regiments in a row. Almost tens of thousands of people were killed.
Over in Ping'an County, the Japanese army lost several thousand more people. Their small ad hoc division could not withstand such repeated attacks.
so……
Tubal Road must be eliminated with lightning speed.
"Someone is coming!"
"Hai!"
"Invite the Kumagawa hunk!"
"Tie!"
Kuroda Shigenori decided to send the Kumagawa Strong Man Regiment to attack westward immediately.
The 26th Division is a three-regiment division. It does not have a brigade. Because it is stationed in a relatively large area, it only has the mobile strength of one regiment.
The most taboo thing in a war is the refueling tactic. Therefore, Kuroda Shigenori directly joined a regiment.
Ying Xiaosen was also willing to help and ordered the dispatch of the Pheasant Cavalry Brigade.
He is also very averse to gaslighting tactics.
He felt that Yoshio Shinozuka just made the mistake of adding fuel to the fire.
Sending a little force here, a little force there, but not much anywhere. As a result, they were defeated by Tubal Road one by one.
As a result, a regiment was ruined.
Therefore, they will never make such a mistake again. They must use all their strength to deal with Tubal Road.
So, a cavalry brigade with about 3,000 people and an infantry regiment with about 3,000 people came to the Yanzigang stronghold in a mighty manner.
Of course the intelligence system of our party and army knew about the Japanese aggressors' movements so much immediately.
All kinds of information are reported immediately.
"What do the Japanese invaders want?"
"Are we going to launch a new round of raids?"
"But for a sweep, why would all the troops be concentrated together?"
The division commander of the 120th Division was confused.
The Yanzigang stronghold was captured, but they didn't know it yet!
In the days before radio stations, all information had to be transmitted manually, and the speed was very slow.
For safety reasons, the division chief ordered nearby troops to be on tight alert.
"Order the teaching brigade to join the battlefield!"
"Order the security brigade to join the battlefield!"
The division commander here is also battle-hardened, and he also directly dropped heavy troops.
At the same time, people were sent to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Yanzigang.
Unknowingly, wind and rain will stir up the sky again in northwest Shanxi.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Zhang Chu killed two Japanese invaders from a distance.
These two Japanese invaders actually tried to climb up the mountain ridge on the north side, and then threatened the stronghold from a high position.
Unfortunately, they were killed first by Zhang Chu.
Want to climb a mountain?
Dream on!
Even if they climb to the mountain ridge, they will not be able to threaten the Yanzigang stronghold.
The location of this stronghold was chosen by the Japanese invaders themselves. How could they make such a low-level mistake? They would certainly not be threatened by the mountains on both sides!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Chu Yunfei also killed two Japanese invaders.
Zhang Chu looked at each other sideways.
It seems like you want to compete with yourself? OK. You are the leader. You win.
But Chu Yunfei showed no reaction.
He didn't want to compete with Zhang Chu. He just wanted to shoot the Japanese invaders.
In the past two or three years, although Chu Yunfei was the commander of the regiment, he killed only a handful of Japanese invaders.
Although there are many reasons, he is actually very aggrieved in his heart.
As a Chinese soldier, I can't kill Japanese soldiers happily. It's too uncomfortable.
Now I finally have the opportunity to fight to my heart's content without any scruples. Naturally, I will not miss any opportunity to shoot the Japanese invaders.
Captain of the Japanese aggressor squad? Kill him with one shot!
Japanese invader Cao Chang? Kill him with one shot!
Japanese invader Wu Chang? Kill him with one shot!
Machine gunner? Kill him with one shot!
Grenadier? Kill it with one shot!
Chu Yunfei himself didn't know how many Japanese invaders he had killed.
All in all, it has never felt so enjoyable.
To be honest, at this moment, he didn't want to go back to the 358th Regiment at all.
Being a regiment leader is meaningless. It's better to be an ordinary soldier here.
You will be exempted from joining the Eighth Route Army.
But you can fight with the Eighth Route Army and keep killing the Japanese until they are all killed!
"Give!"
Zhang Chu handed over a cloth bag.
There are 7.62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle bullets inside. One hundred rounds in total.
In bulk.
I feel wronged by Commander Chu. Now the manpower is tight. No one can help you press the magazine. You have to do it yourself.
Chu Yunfei didn't take it seriously.
If you do it yourself, do it yourself. He can press the magazine quickly.
First press the bullet into the bridge-shaped magazine. Then press it into the magazine.
Press three magazines in a row.
Then change the magazine to the svt-40 semi-automatic rifle.
Keep shooting.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Killed another Japanese invader.
The distance is a bit far. About 700 meters.
To be on the safe side, Chu Yunfei fired two shots in succession and successfully killed the Japanese invaders.
Happy.
A distance of seven hundred meters...
The enemy's grenade has a maximum range of only 700 meters, but I hit all of them with my rifle.
continue.
Still aiming at the target seven hundred meters away.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Still two shots fired in succession.
After a while, the target fell limply. It was obviously hit again.
As a result, Chu Yunfei became even more happy.
There was a deep sense of accomplishment.
So I specifically looked for targets six to seven hundred meters away and then shot them to death.
Zhang Chu saw it and nodded with satisfaction.
Captain Chu's marksmanship is indeed excellent. Now it's finally time to waste it. With one gun, he can at least hold up a platoon of others!
suddenly……
His eyes flashed.
But I saw a figure flashing on the mountain ridge in the distance.
Huh?
who?
Actually climbed to the top of the mountain ridge?
