On the back of the hill, there was a large brightly lit Japanese camp. When I raised the telescope, I saw that the camp was surrounded by a tight barbed wire fence. There were three posts, one sentry, five steps and one post. There were actually a large number of Japanese soldiers piled inside.
Diesel barrels and piles of wooden boxes are probably filled with military supplies. Maybe they are arms that haven't had time to be put into storage!
The gate of the camp was open, and a long Japanese convoy was driving in. At the beginning were more than a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles, followed by three armored transport vehicles, then several troop transport trucks, and finally there were
About two squads of Japanese infantry were running to follow. The entire team looked like a long dragon, which was very eye-catching.
"Grandma, what a big battle!" Chi Chengfeng lost his voice and said, "Which song is this little devil singing?"
Yue Weihan's heart suddenly moved. The little Japs were making quite a fuss. Looking at this posture, it was probably some big guy coming down to inspect the arsenal. The strategic value of this target and the arsenal was much higher than that of a mere regiment headquarters of the Little Japs.
, then turned to Niu Dagen and said: "Dagen, do you see that pile of oil barrels? Can your cannon reach it?"
Niu Dagen stretched out his right thumb and said, "The distance is more than two thousand meters, and it is close to the limit range. At such a long distance, the hit rate is difficult to guarantee!"
Yue Weihan gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Damn it, give me a blast!"
"Yes!" Niu Dagen agreed, and quickly picked up the 81mm Japanese light mortar, re-erected it, re-calculated the distance, and re-adjusted the firing angle. Everything was ready. He picked up a shell and stuffed it.
After entering the cannon chamber, there was only a "boom" sound, and the cannonball was already flying into the sky with a trace of tail flame.
Ten seconds later, a ball of fire suddenly burst into flames in the camp ahead!
Immediately, the little Japs in the camp exploded. A large number of little Japs jumped out of several personnel carriers. The two Japs infantry teams following behind also quickly grabbed them, along with the three-wheeled motorcycles in front.
The little devil in the car firmly protected the three armored transport vehicles in the middle. It looked like there were really big guys in this posture.
However, the impact point of the bullet was far away from the three armored transport vehicles, and it was still some distance away from the pile of oil barrels.
Yue Weihan, who was looking through the telescope, suddenly said anxiously: "Dagen, it's crooked, you damn crooked it!"
Niu Dagen didn't say a word, with a serious face. He stretched out his right thumb and compared it carefully, then used the knob to fine-tune the mortar's firing angle, and then fired another shot. This time the shell landed exactly there.
On top of the pile of diesel barrels, a fierce fire suddenly burst out, and then more and more intense fire balls appeared. The red flames were like huge mushroom clouds, violently sweeping towards the sky.
, the situation is extremely terrifying!
After a full six or seven seconds, the huge explosion reached the top of the hill.
"I hit it, I hit it!" Niu Dagen danced with excitement and fired the remaining two shells.
However, these two rounds of artillery shells were meaningless, because the explosion of the diesel barrels had caused the explosion of the arms that had been piled in the open air and had not had time to be stored in the warehouse. Suddenly, the entire arsenal seemed to have been dropped with countless aerial bombs.
Huge mushroom clouds billowed violently, and all the buildings within a kilometer radius of the center of the explosion were razed to the ground in an instant. The little devils inside were also wiped out, and even the three armored transport vehicles were burned to the ground.
A lump of scrap iron.
"His grandma!" Chi Chengfeng smacked his lips and said in shock, "What a big firework!"
"Retreat!" Yue Weihan, however, remained calm enough and ordered, "Let's go back while the little devils are making a mess!"
After that, Yue Weihan turned around and left, but Chi Chengfeng was not happy anymore. He glared at him and asked, "Grandma, go back? We have already left that damn place, why should we go back and die?"
"Death?" Yue Weihan suddenly paused, turned around and glared at Chi Chengfeng coldly, "Who said that going back means committing suicide?"
Since he became a soldier, Chi Chengfeng has never been afraid of anyone. Yao Changqing is strict in his military management, but Chi Chengfeng has never been afraid of him. But now, Chi Chengfeng found that he did not dare to look at Yue Weihan.
With cannibalistic eyes, he muttered at the moment: "Baoshan City has been surrounded by the little devils to the point that no mouse can escape. If we go back, won't we be facing death?"
"Even the mice can't escape? Then how did we get out?" Yue Weihan said coldly, "If you want to go, go ahead and I will never stop you, but when you go out, don't tell anyone that you are a soldier of the Third Battalion! The three of us
Our battalion has always had only upright men, and there have never been cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as they are members of our third battalion, they will never abandon their brothers!"
After that, Yue Weihan ignored Chi Chengfeng and turned around to leave.
Cao Xinglong glared at Chi Chengfeng coldly and followed him immediately. Niu Dagen seemed to want to say a few words, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just stamped his feet and followed him. Chi Chengfeng was stunned and also
I had no choice but to follow him, muttering in a low voice as he walked: "His grandma, pretty pretty girl."

The 98th Division Headquarters is on the south bank of Wanzabin.
Division Commander Xia Zhongyu was lying on the map and taking a nap when he was suddenly awakened by a violent explosion. When he looked up quickly, he saw that the night sky outside the bunker was already red. This senior general of the national army who was born in Huangpu soon realized
If something serious happened, the Chinese army's artillery bombardment would never be able to cause such a violent explosion. Even the little Japanese's naval gun group would not have such a big momentum!
Almost at the same time, the chief of staff of the 98th Division was also awakened and asked Xia Zhongyu: "Master, where did the explosion come from?"
Xia Zhongyu walked behind the observation hole in two steps, raised his head and looked at the red sky carefully, and responded: "Well... the explosion point seems to be in the northeast."
"Northeast?" The chief of staff's eyes fell on the map in front of him, and he frowned and said, "That's the north bank of Wanzabin."
"The north bank of Haizhubin?" Xia Zhongyu frowned and said, "Haven't the national troops of the left-wing corps retreated to the south bank of Haizhubin? Why are there still our troops on the north bank? Check, Chief of Staff
, you immediately send someone to check and find out which army is originally stationed in the northeast."
"Division seat, there is no need to check." The chief of staff picked up a pencil and drew a circle on the map, and said very firmly, "The northeast is Baoshan County. It turns out that the 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment of our division is stationed there.
After retreating to the south bank of Wanzabin, all brigades and regiments withdrew. Only this battalion has lost contact, and it should be them."
"The 3rd Battalion of the 583rd Regiment?" Xia Zhongyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "That battalion of Yao Changqing!?"
"It should be Yao Changqing's people who did it, and they probably attacked the Japanese arsenal, otherwise such a strong explosion would not have happened." The chief of staff of the 98th Division was really a master of logical reasoning. With very few clues, he
The ins and outs of the whole thing were analyzed to a close.
"Chief of Staff, send someone to verify immediately!" Xia Zhongyu suddenly turned around and said loudly, "If the situation is true, I will personally petition the theater commander's department for Yao Changqing's credit!"
…………
Rear area of Songhu Theater, War Area Commander's Department.
The explosion coming from the direction of Baoshan even alerted Gu Zhutong, deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Theater Zone.
Deputy Chief Gu thought it was the frontline soldiers firing night artillery, and Qingmeng was disturbed, so he immediately said angrily: "Come here, go check it out immediately, which unit is this? This is a fool's errand.
Can they attack the Japanese positions? Isn't this a deliberate waste of artillery shells? Shoot them. Once found, no matter who they are, they will be shot!"
…………
Hirano Brigade Headquarters.
Takamasa Takamori, commander of the 68th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, supported the convening of a military meeting to summarize and review the problems reflected in the battle for Baoshan in the past four days and make improvements.
I have to admit that the Japanese nation is a nation that is good at summarizing and improving.
The Japanese nation is quite conservative and even rigid in terms of grand strategy. There have been basically no decent strategists in the entire history of Japan. However, it must be admitted that the modern Japanese army has made many innovations in tactics, and a large number of outstanding tacticians have emerged.
, such as the notorious Kanji Ishihara, Seishiro Sakagaki, Kenji Doihara, Neji Okamura and other Class-A war criminals. Objectively speaking, they can all be regarded as excellent tactical masters, and even many middle and low-level officers of the Japanese army are
They have high tactical literacy and know how to learn lessons from actual combat and formulate highly targeted tactics. Takashi Takamori is one of them.
When Takashi Takamori arrived at the headquarters of the Hirano Brigade, Ichiro Hirano had committed seppuku.
Now that Ichiro Hirano has washed away his shame in the way of a samurai, it is naturally impossible for Takamori Takashi to cancel the establishment of the 2nd Infantry Battalion. This is also the practice of the Japanese Army. At present, one of the two supplementary squadrons will be transferred.
The squadron, and half a squadron each from the 3rd and 5th Infantry Brigades, plus the original more than 200 remaining soldiers, the Hirano Brigade quickly restored the staffing of more than 1,000 people from the four squadrons.
Takashi Takamori still used the 2nd Infantry Battalion to attack Baoshan and re-appointed the captain.
At the same time, in view of the ineffectiveness of conventional tactics and gas bomb tactics, after repeated discussions among the participating officers, the Japanese army also changed their offensive tactics and decided to launch sulfur bombs and carry out a fire attack on Baoshan County! Because almost all buildings in Baoshan County are wooden structures
, even in the large courtyards occupied by the Chinese Army, although the outer walls are made of bricks and stones, the insides are still made of wood.
Seeing that the military meeting was about to end, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in the center of the 3rd Division's headquarters, and the fire even turned half of the sky red! Takashi Takamori suddenly felt his heart tremble, and he stood up suddenly.
The officers also stood up one after another. When they saw the blood-red night sky outside the window, their expressions suddenly changed.
