Five hundred and thirtieth chapters go straight to the dumb mountain
Chapter 535 Heading towards Dumb Mountain
"Baga, what happened outside? Where did the gunshots come from? Orderlies, what happened outside..." Just when the intensive sound of gunfire had just reached the central turret, the Japanese squadron leader who had already fallen asleep almost
At the first moment, he jumped up from the bed with an alert look on his face. He even forgot to put on his clothes and rushed out of his room. Then, he just held the collar of the orderly at the door and faced the orderly outside the door.
Asked with an anxious look...0
"Squadron leader, I don't know even if I'm a junior. I'll ask you now. I'll understand the situation as soon as possible and report to you..." Facing the squadron leader's question and the hands clasping his collar, the orderly soldier rose.
With a red face, he quickly replied... However, just as he finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps reached their ears. Immediately afterwards, a member of the first infantry team who was sent to report the news
The little Japanese communications soldier appeared in front of the two of them, and then replied breathlessly to the anxious-looking squadron leader.
"Your Excellency, squadron leader, the stronghold was attacked by a large-scale hostile armed group. The opponent was equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and the firepower was very fierce. The enemy is launching an attack on our stronghold under the cover of intensive firepower. All officers and soldiers of the first team are attacking
Hold on, call for reinforcements, call for reinforcements..."
"Nani, how is it possible? How could there be a large number of armed elements here? Could it be that the Anti-Japanese Alliance is back? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Now the Anti-Union is besieged by a large number of our Kwantung Army troops in the Mengshan area. Absolutely not
It might appear here..." The squadron leader asked with his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, everything I said is true. The enemy is indeed equipped with a large number of heavy weapons... Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, our first team's defensive position is currently undergoing a fierce firefight, and we are requesting reinforcements..." The communications soldier said again.
He said with an anxious face. At the same time, in order to verify the correctness of his message, the communications soldier quickly ran to the machine gun firing hole of the turret, pointed at the battlefield not far away, where there was a dense sound of gunfire and said...
"Baga, how is it possible? When did our enemy possess such powerful firepower? Baga, order the artillery team to fire immediately to destroy the enemy's heavy firepower... The communications troops immediately report to the garrison commander in Chaoyang County.
The Ministry of Defense sent a telegram that our stronghold in Dongdatun Township has been attacked by a large-scale enemy. We are asking for reinforcements. Hurry..." Seeing a dozen dense tongues of fire shooting at his stronghold in the dark night, the squadron leader couldn't help but feel.
There was a moment of shock. Then, he ordered the guard beside him with an anxious look on his face...
"Hey, your Excellency, squadron leader, I'm going to deliver the order right now...boom boom boom..." However, before the guard could finish speaking, three huge roars reached their ears, followed by three
A huge explosion sounded immediately... The entire turret began to shake with the sound of explosions, and there was a danger of overturning at any time...
"What happened on Bage Ya Road? Where did the explosion come from? Did something happen to our ammunition depot..." Hearing three huge explosions and feeling the shaking of the gun tower, the squadron leader looked shocked.
asked…
"Report to the squadron leader that the gun building has been shelled by the enemy. The enemy is equipped with three mountain guns and is launching an artillery attack on our central gun building. Please ask the squadron leader to retreat immediately. The gun building is about to collapse..." Just after the squadron leader said this
After that, an exclamation reached his ears from downstairs...
"How is it possible? How could the enemy be equipped with mountain artillery... Impossible, absolutely impossible... Boom..." the squadron leader asked in disbelief. After all, in the entire defense zone, the only hostile armed force was the guerrillas led by the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
And these guerrillas were not even equipped with the most basic rifles. How could they be equipped with heavy attack weapons such as mountain cannons? However, he was puzzled and could only wait until he arrived in hell to ask King Yama himself. Because
The moment he finished speaking, another huge roar reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, the floor that had been bearing his own weight just now lost its ability to bear weight. The entire turret,
Together with almost a small group of Japanese soldiers in the gun tower, it turned into a pile of ruins several meters high...
"Fight well, keep bombarding me, and bury all the remaining little Japs in their turtle shells..." Seeing the collapse of the Japanese central artillery tower, Liu Xiaogang, who served as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, immediately smiled.
A hint of smile. Then, facing the members of the mountain artillery team in front of him, he ordered with excitement...
"Boom, boom, boom..." After losing their command mechanism, the remaining more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were all buried in the ruins in less than five minutes under the continuous roll call of three mountain cannons.
Among them. As the last bunker turned into a pile of ruins with the explosion of artillery shells, the gunfire on the entire battlefield finally slowly stopped. More than a hundred team members, loaded with guns and ammunition, formed a neat search team.
He entered the stronghold that had become a ruin and began to search for possible remaining enemies...
In the end, the entire battle ended smoothly after a few scattered gunshots. The captain of the fourth squadron in charge of the attack also immediately came to Liu Xiaogang with a face full of smoke and reported loudly:
"Reporting to the deputy captain, the fourth squadron and the mountain artillery team successfully completed their mission and annihilated all the garrison troops in the store. According to statistics, a total of 238 enemies were annihilated, one of our soldiers was sacrificed and 5 were injured. In addition, two heavy machine guns were seized
OK, three mortars, a large number of other weapons and ammunition, and various logistics supplies are being counted..."
"Where is the radio station? Have you found the enemy's radio station..." Liu Xiaogang did not pay attention to the results of the troops. Because, at this moment, the most important thing for him was that the little Japanese who had just been wiped out by him had
He did not spread the news that his troops were under attack...
"Found it, it was found in the ruins of the enemy's central turret... However, the entire radio station has been smashed by bricks and turned into a pile of scrap metal, which cannot be used... However, according to the sound of gunfire until the turret collapsed,
Calculating the time, the little devil's communication soldier has no time to turn on the radio and then send a report..." Seeing Liu Xiaogang with an anxious look on his face, the squadron leader immediately reacted and replied quickly.
"That's good... order the troops to clean the battlefield immediately. In addition, allocate a small team of troops and use the materials we captured to prepare dinner for the main force. Also, report the victory to the commander immediately and say that my first battalion has successfully completed the mission.
, successfully occupied Dongdatun Township and completely wiped out the Japanese defenders..." Liu Xiaogang breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, he ordered with a smile on his face to the squadron leader in front of him.
"Xiao Gang, the First Battalion fought well. They won the first battle and showed the momentum of our advance detachment. Good... However, against a squadron of little devils, your First Battalion, with the help of three artillery fires, actually
I also paid the price of one person being sacrificed and five people being injured. This is something I didn't expect..." Looking at the casualty data in his hands and the results achieved by the troops, Liu Hua asked Liu Xiaogang in front of him while being excited...
"Reporting to the commander, according to my understanding, these six casualties were all caused by the carelessness of the soldiers. Another important reason is that the Kwantung Army troops outside the pass are more dangerous than those inside the pass.
Tough. Almost every kid here can be called a sharpshooter, and their fighting will and their tactical level are not comparable to those of the kid in Guan..." Liu Xiaogang replied.
"Well, it will be easier to handle if you know the reasons and differences. When the time comes, you have to ask the soldiers who participated in the attack to take advantage of their rest time to go to the second and third brigades and explain this Kwantung Army unit to everyone.
At the same time, all soldiers of the high-level advance detachment should not have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy in future battles, because what we are facing now is the Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the Japanese army..."
Liu Hua nodded and ordered firmly...
After dinner, the entire advance detachment, organized by the First Brigade, began to hold a summary meeting of today's battle, telling their comrades about the combat mode and powerful combat effectiveness of the Japanese Kwantung Army. As for the commander Liu Hua, the deputy captain also served as the third
Liu Xiaogang, captain of the first brigade, Wang Ping, captain of the second brigade, and Li Guotian, captain of the third brigade, gathered around a dim lantern and a huge military map in a simple house to discuss the advance detachment.
The specific action plan for the next step….
"According to the map, there is still a full two hundred kilometers in straight line distance from Dongdatun Township where we are now to our destination Anshan area. Everyone is talking about which direction we should go next. Especially
It's Captain Wang and Captain Li. You are both natives of the Northeast. You must be more familiar with the Northeast than us..." Looking at the Anshan area on the map and the current Dongdatun Township, Liu Hua faced the people in front of him.
Several squadron leaders said.
"Commander, I think it's best for us to go in a straight line... You see, from Dongdatun Township to the final Anshan area, if we go in a straight line, except for two rivers that are not too wide, there are almost no big counties along the way.
and strongholds. More importantly, according to the battle plan we formulated in advance, a full eight days have passed since we dispatched troops, and we have no extra time to waste on the march..." Wang Ping, captain of the Second Brigade
He stood up and said.
"Captain Li, you are also a native of the Northeast. Please tell me what you are thinking..." Liu Hua nodded and turned his gaze to Li Guotian, the captain of the third brigade...
"Commander, in the entire three northeastern provinces, the mountains are mainly concentrated in the Changbai Mountains and the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains, and the large area we are in is covered with vast plains and hills. There is absolutely no problem in taking a straight line directly to the Anshan area.
Therefore, I completely agree with Captain Wang’s suggestion that we go in a straight line. Such a march plan will not only save the time we spend on the road, but also avoid the heavily defended counties and strongholds of the Japanese army..." Li Guotian said...
"Xiaogang, they both have said it. Now it's your turn. Can you tell me what you think?" Regarding the two people's answers, Liu Hua nodded approvingly, and then said to Liu Xiaogang...
"Commander, regarding the terrain of the three northeastern provinces, I can only understand some simple things from the map. There is no comparison with Captain Wang and Captain Li. Therefore, as for the march route of the troops, I think we still have to
Listen to Captain Wang and Captain Li, after all, they really understand the entire Northeast. Therefore, I fully support Captain Wang and Captain Li’s suggestion, let’s go in a straight line..." Bruce Lee said without thinking...
"Okay, now that the opinions of the three people have been unified, I decided that we will take a straight line... Come, look at the map... From our current location to the Anshan map, there will be a total of two railway lines along the way. According to the current situation in Northeast China
Look, for the railway that symbolizes their lifeline, the Japs must have heavy troops stationed for defense. Therefore, our next march target is here, Dumb Mountain. After the troops took a short rest here, they found the opportunity to cross
Do you have any problems with this railway line?" After quickly drawing a straight line on the map, Liu Hua gave a firm order to the three captains in front of him...
"No problem..." Seeing the straight line on the map that symbolized the marching route of the troops, they looked at the first target of their advance detachment, Mute Mountain. The three captains shook their heads at the same time and answered in the affirmative.
road.
"Okay, if there are no objections, we have decided like this. After you guys go back, you must let the soldiers take time to rest and replenish enough dry food. Starting from tomorrow, we will start on the road again. In addition, for the next troops
For the convenience of the march, bring all the little Japanese military uniforms we captured in this battle. Maybe they will be used in the next march..." Liu Hua nodded and gave the final order. At the same time, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Order…
The next day, after a night's rest and replenishing enough dry food, all the commanders and fighters of the entire advance detachment once again restored high morale. Following Liu Hua's order, more than 4,000 commanders and fighters once again
Embark on your own journey, heading towards the next target of the advance detachment, the Mute Mountain area...
It took the soldiers less than a day to travel more than 70 kilometers. As the sky slowly darkened and the soldiers became more and more tired after a day of rapid march, the figure of Dumb Mountain appeared in front of everyone.
Within the range of vision, a dumb mountain with an altitude of less than 500 meters and completely shrouded in dense woods appeared in front of everyone.
"Comrades, Dumb Mountain has arrived. Let's work harder. Tonight, we will go to Dumb Mountain to camp and rest..." Seeing the mountains in front of him, Commander Liu Hua was excited and looked at the people around him.
The team roared with excitement...
With the specific goal in mind and the sight of the campsite so close at hand, the troop's march speed immediately accelerated a lot... In less than half an hour, the march of more than 4,000 people disappeared into the vastness of the Northeast.
On the plain. Facing the surrounding dense woods, the soldiers immediately began to set up temporary camps and prepare for the night's camping and rest...
As for Commander Liu Hua and the other three captains, although they were equally tired, in the face of increasingly tight time, they had to persist in climbing the dumb mountain and began to observe with telescopes on the top of the mountain.
In front of me, less than two kilometers away from Dumb Mountain, is a transportation railway line connecting Jinzhou...
"Dudududu..." Just when everyone had just climbed to the top of the mountain, a dull roar of a train passing by the railway reached everyone's ears. Looking around, there was a car dragging about ten wagons.
The train, billowing black smoke, was advancing rapidly on the railway, aiming directly at Jinzhou City...
And just as the train loaded with various supplies had just passed the Mute Mountain in front of them, and everyone was preparing to go down the mountain to observe the Japanese defense force on this transportation line, another roar reached everyone's ears.
However, what surprised everyone was that the train in front of them only had one locomotive. More importantly, on the top of the locomotive, there were several bright searchlights standing prominently, constantly shaking on both sides of the railway. At the same time,
, there are a row of black shooting holes neatly arranged on both sides of the front of the car, which is completely surrounded by iron sheets...
"The armored car... is the armored car of the little devil..." Seeing the armored car that is almost rare on the North China Plain, Wang Ping and Li Guotian, two captains from the Northeast Army, couldn't help but exclaimed. Because, in
Before the Northeastern Army withdrew into the pass, the Northeastern Army had a large number of armored vehicles... As for the combat effectiveness of these armored vehicles, it can be said that they are like a mobile bunker and fort, which are very powerful unless large-caliber artillery is used for direct aim and shooting.
.Otherwise, for such an armored vehicle, troops equipped with only light weapons will have no way to do anything except increase casualties...
At the same time, when he saw the armored vehicle, the commander Liu Hua also frowned. Of course, Liu Hua was not worried about the combat effectiveness of the armored vehicle, because he believed that with the three mountain cannons in his hands,
As well as the elite special operations brigade, these armored vehicles with weak armor protection capabilities can be destroyed by themselves as many as they come.
As for what Commander Liu Hua is worried about, is the transportation and rapid maneuverability of these armored vehicles... You must know that if your troops are discovered by the Japanese armored vehicles patrolling while crossing the railway, then the Japanese army with armored vehicles will
They must be able to transport a large number of troops via railways and use their armored vehicles to launch an attack on their own troops in the shortest possible time... If this is the case, their advance detachment will be stuck here by a large number of Japanese troops...
