Signal bombs continuously emit a red halo in the sky. In the dark night, these signal bombs will be clearly visible to people within a few kilometers. This is a signal representing a full-scale attack.
In an instant, the long-planned gunfire sounded like thunder in the night sky. The remaining five M1 105mm howitzers and eight 120 mortars in the artillery camp also began to pour artillery fire on the Japanese positions.
The soldiers of the 399th Regiment who were at the forefront also shouted and rushed towards the enemy camp...
The sudden sound of gunfire and loud shouts of killing woke up the Japanese and puppet troops who had fallen asleep. Countless Japanese and puppet troops in disheveled clothes ran out of tents or houses in panic. They were greeted by their respective officers.
Under his command, he ran towards the place where the gunfire rang out.
As the top commander here, Seishiro Sakagaki also hurried out of the room. He was so angry that before he could remember to be angry, he saw Chief of Staff Saburo Kawabe running over in embarrassment and reported: "Your Excellency, Division Commander,
Unfortunately, the Chinese launched a night attack on us, and now the 42nd Regiment at the front can no longer withstand it."
"Snapped!"
A clear voice sounded, and Sakagaki Seishiro slapped him on the spot.
"Baga, you have to remember that you are a senior imperial officer and the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, not some low-level sergeant. You must remain calm at all times, do you understand?"
"Hai!"
Only then did Saburo Kawabe realize that the staff officers in the headquarters were watching him helplessly. As the second-ranking officer of the division, he had lost his composure, which was very detrimental to his image in their minds.
Seeing Saburo Kawabe calm down quickly, Sakagaki nodded: "Tell me, what happened ahead?"
Saburo Hebian swallowed and then said: "Your Excellency, just now, the Chinese suddenly launched an attack on us. Because the attack was so sudden, the 42nd Regiment in front was not prepared at all, and the Chinese had not prepared it beforehand.
They sent people to attack our sentries. As a result, the 42nd Regiment was caught off guard, and now Colonel Yoshikawa Akira has requested tactical guidance from the division headquarters."
"Order Yoshikawa Akira to hold me back and tell him that a large group of reinforcements will arrive at him in half an hour."
"Hai!"
Saburo Kawabe bowed and was about to leave, but Seishiro Sakagaki stopped him again, "You immediately call Colonel Nakahira Mineyoshi (captain of the 5th Field Artillery Regiment) and order him to lead us immediately in the China Army."
Cover the passage with artillery fire to prevent the Chinese follow-up troops from following up."
"But our artillery losses today are not small. It seems not enough to complete this kind of mission." Saburo Kawabe said with some surprise: "And we don't have many artillery shells anymore. If we use artillery fire to cover it, we may not have enough artillery fire tomorrow."
Cannonballs are used to release people."
Seishiro Sakagaki said coldly: "Do you think that if you can't withstand the Chinese attack, the field artillery regiment will have a chance to fire artillery shells tomorrow?"
"Hai, it's because of your humble duty and lack of consideration." Saburo Kawabe ran out with some shame.
"Nani? A brigade will be coming in half an hour? Chief of Staff, you should come over and see how many of those people are in front of me now. They are all shooting at us with automatic weapons. I am forty-two
Do you understand how hard these loyal and brave imperial soldiers of the regiment have resisted?" Colonel Yoshikawa Akira yelled into the microphone.
"Then what do you want?" Saburo Hebian on the other end of the phone was also in a very unhappy mood.
"I want to send the 5th Regiment. Only by sending it can I withstand the Chinese offensive. Colonel Fujimura Nobuyoshi (captain of the 5th Regiment) has been too busy these days, right?" said Colonel Yoshikawa Akira on the phone.
Very mean.
Saburo Kawabe was furious: "Baga, Yoshikawa-kun, don't forget your identity. You are just a captain. What the division commander wants to do is his business. As a subordinate, you only need to follow his orders!"
"Okay, but I hope you can convey my words to the division commander. I have a hunch that the Chinese night attack tonight is not just an abnormal harassment action. Judging from the intensity of their attack, they are very likely to
They want to drive us away from here or even eat us."
"Eat us? Eat the Fifth Division?" Saburo Kawabe on the other end of the phone laughed, and then hung up the phone.
The mud, stone and soil brought up by the shock wave landed on the roof of the wing headquarters indiscriminately. The dense and depressing sound of tiny knocks covered Colonel Yoshikawa Akira's eardrums like a hazy gauze, jumping not far away.
The falling rubble slapped against the windows, making crackling sounds that punctuated the chaotic night. The horrified shouts inappropriately interrupted the cannon's singing at night, and the sharp and nervous shouts caused the surrounding soldiers to panic.
There was a big commotion and the noisy shouting gradually became louder.
Colonel Yoshikawa Akira opened his eyes wide and looked through the gap in the window towards the open space in front of him. A huge, dazzling fireball burst out in the distance, followed by a strong shock wave followed by a deafening explosion that swept through the open space.
, a truck was lifted up by the shock wave for several meters before falling heavily. His eyes used to the dark night could not adapt to the dazzling light in front of him. Colonel Yoshikawa Akira subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again
, his heart was tightly gripped by the terrifying scene in front of him.
The vehicles and personnel in the open space closest to the center of the bomb explosion were all devastated. Some soldiers who had not yet evacuated to a safe position disappeared in the rapidly growing fireball after letting out a few heart-piercing shouts;
Several motorcycles in the front were thrown randomly by the shock wave, and they hit the surrounding area with painful shattering sounds. Several other trucks a little further away were also overturned by the shock wave, and one truck quickly started to catch fire.
.
"This is a heavy mortar with a caliber of more than 120!" Colonel Yoshikawa Akira closed his eyes in pain and murmured, "Amaterasu, are you punishing us Yamato people tonight?"
"Hurry... rush forward! Close the distance with the enemy!"
In the first batch of attacking teams, Li Yifeng kept urging the soldiers to rush forward. The submachine gun in his hand kept spitting tongues of fire forward, and the hot and dense rain of bullets moved forward without reservation.
Spraying.
In front of them, the messy figure of the Japanese army could not stop the pace of their attack. If this attack had occurred during the day, no matter how fierce their firepower was, they would not have achieved such a great effect, but at night, in
Under the sudden attack, the Japanese resistance was unusually messy and weak.
Although many Japanese soldiers rushed over like wild beasts with rifles, they were knocked to the ground by the rain of bullets they poured down.
"Haha, brothers, hurry up and rush, maybe we can also seize the Japanese alliance flag."
Li Yifeng, who became more and more excited as he fought loudly, gave orders loudly. When he thought about the possibility of capturing the Japanese alliance flag, Li Yifeng was as excited as if he had been shot to death.
Since the establishment of the 300th Brigade, the 398th Regiment and the 399th Regiment have been competing with each other overtly and covertly. The competition between Li Yifeng, who was born in the 145th Division, and Lin Shiqian, who was born in the 154th Division, has also begun to compete with each other.
It has never stopped. Whether it is daily training, combat, or weapons and equipment, they have become the targets of their competition.
As for the competition between the 398th Regiment and the 399th Regiment, Su Rui, as the supreme commander of the 300 Brigade, naturally saw it, but he did not comment on it and never stopped it.
Competition. In his view, only when there is competition in a team can the team maintain its vitality and develop healthily.
The 399th Regiment's offensive was so sharp that the 42nd Regiment, which was caught off guard, was like ice and snow that had encountered the sun, melting into the scorching sun.
Seeing such a scene, Su Rui was very satisfied and issued several orders one after another.
"The 398th Regiment is following up to expand the results, and the teaching regiment is searching for enemies that have slipped through the net. Commander Pang, your Third Army's offensive from the flanks is a bit slow. If Liu Guitang's men escape, you will lose all face.
"
When Su Rui said this, his brows were full of excitement. Although he did not have the idea of annihilating the Japanese army due to lack of troops, as long as he could severely damage the Fifth Division and force them to retreat, his goal would be
Reached.
Suri walked up to the highest mound nearby, looked at the rising fire and smoke in the distance and raised his telescope. The wide battlefield appeared clearly and completely in his field of vision through the telescope.
The open field in front is full of brave soldiers who are charging. They are like the lions of the Han Dynasty who shouted "Anyone who offends our great power will be killed no matter how far away" thousands of years ago. They hold their heads high and their sharp spears are in the gray.
It was extremely eye-catching on the battlefield. The bullets fired from the long hair shot into the enemy's chest like a life-threatening spear tip in the dim fire and smoke.
This is a great war!
Su Rui clearly saw that a small group of soldiers rushing at the front were beaten by several enemies who suddenly appeared in front of them. However, these enemies did not feel proud for long, and quickly came from behind the fallen soldiers.
More people were seen, shouting and charging, using the weapons in their hands to grind into powder those enemies who dared to stand in front of them.
Long time no see, the vast land! This is a battlefield for the brave! A long-suppressed cheer surged from the hearts of the soldiers.
They use the weapons in their hands to kill all the enemies in front of them. This is their hometown, this is their land, and any outsider should think carefully before setting foot on this land.
The defenders spread balls of scorching heat together with destructive metal on the burning land. They were warning the invaders that this is our territory!
At 4:30 in the morning on the first day of March in the 27th year of the Republic of China, Su Rui led the 399th Regiment to break through the Qingdun Temple held by the Japanese 42nd Regiment. The Youjiazhuang area began to attack the Fifth Division Headquarters.
Attack on Dongxiwangzhuang where it is located!
