Su Rui was slightly startled at first, then nodded and said: "It seems to be a matter of time. It seems that the Japanese are going to get angry and send two divisions to attack our little Songshan Pass."
Liang Zhi continued to report: "The day before yesterday, after the Sixth Division added 9,000 troops and regained its previous combat effectiveness, the Japanese began to focus on us. In addition, the arrival of the Second Division and several warships increased the number of troops.
Their confidence. Okamura Neji and Yan Shunroku also urgently needed a big victory to restore the impact of the Wanjialing victory, so Tianjia Town became their best target.
But to capture Tianjia Town, our Songshan Pass here is a key point that they must capture, otherwise all the actions of the Japanese army will be within the range of our army's artillery fire."
Su Rui looked at Liang Zhi noncommittally: "So do you, the chief of staff, have any plans?"
Liang Zhi nodded, came to the table and pointed at the newly made sand table and said: "Master, please see, Tianjia Town and our Songshan Pass are located on the Yangtze River. Any actions of the Japanese can easily catch them.
Support from surface ships. But we also have our own advantages. The terrain of Songshan Mountain is dangerous and the mountain roads are rugged. After our intensive defense deployment in the past few days, we have deployed three lines of defense at Songshan Pass, and a large number of mines have been laid at the front of the position. In addition,
We have thirty-six division-affiliated 155 howitzers, more than forty brigade-affiliated 105 grenades, 120-heavy mortars and 80-caliber and 60-caliber mortars distributed in various units.
I believe that even if the Japanese army attacks with two divisions, we can support it for at least 20 days to a month. If we add the support of the flying brigade, it is still unclear who will win! So my opinion is that we don’t need to do anything.
All you have to do is wait here for the Japanese to come and die."
Speaking of this, Liang Zhi's face showed a sense of pride and confidence. As the chief of staff of the 300 Division, Liang Zhi's understanding of the force in his hands has also deepened. He believes that the current weapons and equipment of the 300 Division and
The firepower output is not inferior to any country in the world or even slightly exceeds it. Even if the Japanese use two divisions to attack, they will never be able to capture it in a short period of time.
After listening to Liang Zhi, Su Rui smiled slightly, and then cast his gaze on Bai Jingran's face and asked: "Our Bai Dadanzao, do you have anything else to add?"
Bai Jingran smiled, "It is the commander's job to dispatch troops, and it is the commander's responsibility to make plans and arrange combat missions. As a regimental commander, I just want to fight the war, so why do you need to ask me?"
"You are really lazy!" Su Rui smiled helplessly, "Okay, that's it, then we will proceed according to this plan..."
"Report!"
A staff officer's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in!"
A young staff officer walked in quickly and handed an envelope to Su Rui and said: "Reporting to the commander, our investigators lurking in Guangji discovered some situations two hours ago and took pictures. They said they should
Let me show you."
"Oh, is it so?"
Su Rui smiled nonchalantly at first, took the envelope and waved for the staff officer to go out.
Here, I have to say that although Su Rui and the 300 Division retreated from Guangji, a small number of investigators remained, and these personnel belonged to a newly established intelligence agency of the 300 Division. This agency
Its responsibilities are to be responsible for reconnaissance, infiltration and other work in front of enemy lines. The full name of this organization is the Military Intelligence Bureau of the 300th Division, and Liang Zhi is temporarily serving as the director.
After the staff officer went out, Su Rui shook the envelope and several photos fell from the envelope onto the table.
"Everyone, let's take a look. What information did our Military Intelligence Bureau get from its first attack?"
Su Rui smiled and picked up the photo and distributed it to Liang Zhi and Bai Jingran. He also picked up a photo, but when his eyes fell on the photo, the smile on his face instantly became dull. Not only him,
Even Liang Zhi and Bai Jingran changed their expressions.
In the photo in Su Rui's hand, seven or eight trains were parked neatly on the railway. There were piles of huge things parked on the huge flat cars and wrapped in canvas. Although you couldn't tell what they were from the canvas alone.
However, there were several long gun barrels exposed from the canvas. The huge and elongated gun barrels shone with a cold light even in the photos.
Looking at the photo in his hand, Su Rui seemed to say word by word from between his teeth: "Japanese heavy artillery brigade!"
Kashiwa Jingran also said solemnly: "This is a Meiji 45-type 240-caliber heavy howitzer. From the photo, it looks like there are at least a dozen of them. Judging from the size, it should be that the Japanese army also transferred their heavy artillery brigade.
Already."
The Japanese's heavy artillery, Suri had only heard of it for a long time, but he didn't expect to actually have to face it today.
All three of them fell silent. After a long time, Liang Zhi slowly said: "It seems that the Japanese are planning to blow up Songshan Pass."
Su Rui also said solemnly: "We must not let the Japanese set up these heavy artillery in front of us, otherwise we will never be able to defend for a few days!"
Although Su Rui has never experienced the power of 240-caliber artillery in reality, he has seen a lot of the power of the 155-caliber howitzer equipped by the 300 Division. When dozens of artillery pieces from the heavy artillery regiment fired a salvo
, half of the hill would be flattened by several meters. He couldn't imagine what it would be like when dozens of 240-caliber or even 320-caliber siege heavy artillery shells landed at Songshan Pass. It was estimated that there would be more by then.
No matter how many barbed wire fences there are, no amount of bunkers and trenches can withstand his volley, right?
Liang Zhi also said a little depressed: "The problem now is how to stop it?"
Su Rui stopped talking, took out a pack of Hardman and a box of matches from his pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it, left the cigarette case on the table, and started smoking.
Wisps of gray-white smoke surrounded him.
After a long time, Su Rui asked Bai Jingran: "Old Bai, if your teaching team is sent to perform this task, can you complete it?"
Bai Jingran thought for a while and shook his head solemnly: "No, the heavy artillery brigade has always been the lifeblood of the Japanese. The defense must be very tight. I estimate that the number of ground troops defending them will never be less than two regiments.
, it’s hard to say whether our teaching group will be able to complete the mission if we enter without authorization. Even if we are lucky enough to complete the mission, the entire teaching team will probably have to stay inside."
"That's it!"
Su Rui took a breath and joined a regiment for a heavy artillery brigade. If this kind of thing were considered by other troops or even the Central Army, it would be an extremely cost-effective deal, let alone a regiment, even a regiment.
The division did not blink an eye at all. You must know that it was a heavy artillery brigade, not a Japanese squadron or a large baggage brigade. The entire Japanese Army only established a total of six brigades. It could be destroyed no matter what it took.
The price is worth it.
Then Bai Jingran asked solemnly: "Master, are you sure you want to teach the group to carry out this task?"
Su Rui took a deep breath and slowly shook his head. The teaching regiment is the unit with the highest comprehensive quality in the 300 Division. Sixty percent of its members have attended middle school, and many have attended
In high school, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the seed unit of the 300 Division. Suri will be of great use to this unit in the future. He is reluctant to give up the teaching regiment just for a heavy artillery brigade.
Seeing that Su Rui rejected Bai Jingran's words, Liang Zhi also asked: "Master, since we can't attack from the land, we can only use the flying brigade to attack from the air."
Bai Jingran frowned and said: "But as far as I know, the heavy artillery brigade's air defense force is also very powerful. They are equipped with at least hundreds of anti-aircraft artillery. If we force it, I'm afraid the Stuka squadron will suffer a lot of losses."
"There is nothing we can do. If the heavy artillery brigade can arrive at Songshan Pass safely, we will all have to finish it!" Su Rui said resolutely: "Ziran, please quickly inform the reconnaissance team ahead and ask them to accurately dock the heavy artillery brigade.
I will find out the location, and then send all the fighter planes to me. I will completely destroy this heavy artillery brigade!"
Just when Su Rui was determined to eradicate this heavy artillery brigade, a small train station in Guangji, which usually saw few people, was now crowded with loaded guns and live ammunition, and countless Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms surrounded them.
Guard posts were placed several kilometers away around the seven or eight trains.
Although some residents around the train station were all driven out of their homes by Japanese soldiers, those who disobeyed were all killed.
In the stationmaster's office of this railway station, a fair-faced major general in his thirties was sitting in a chair, looking with bright eyes at a man wearing a blue railway uniform who was standing respectfully in front of him.
The middle-aged man, this major general is Major General Shizuichi Miyamoto, the brigade commander of Japan’s fifth heavy artillery brigade.
"Lansang, when can your train leave? Our troops have an urgent mission and we must get to Songshan Pass before dark today!"
Major General Shizuichi Miyamoto was very anxious at the moment. This time the Eleventh Army urgently transferred him from Xuzhou in order to open the Songshan Pass.
After so many battles, no one in the entire Japanese army dares to underestimate the 300 Division anymore. There is even a popular saying in the Japanese army, that is, if they want to defeat China's 300 Division head-on,
Don't even think about it without two elite divisions. Although I don't know whether this sentence is true or not, it is enough to show how afraid the Japanese Army is of Suri now.
Moreover, in order to capture the dangerous Matsuyama Pass this time, Okamura Ningji sent an urgent telegram overnight to the commander of the North China Front Army, Commander Yan Junroku, requesting that the Fifth Heavy Artillery Brigade, a strategic-level unit of the North China Front Army, be mobilized.
Coming to Matsuyama Pass to assist in the battle also indirectly proved that Okamura Neiji valued the 300 Division and this battle.
