On a position 60 kilometers outside Enping, Kashiwa Jingran, dressed in a gray-green military uniform, stood behind a trench and carefully observed the Japanese position in front. His right index finger continued to adjust the focus of the Zeiss telescope in his hand. He looked very carefully.
, as if to clearly observe every person moving on the Japanese military position.
There was light rain in the sky, and the light rain had already wet Bai Jingran's forehead, but he seemed not to notice it, and still carefully observed the movements ahead as if he didn't notice it.
After a while, Bai Jingran moved the telescope away from his eyes. After taking a long breath, he turned to the division chief of staff Li Jinling and said, "Chief of Staff Li, are the Japanese troops on the opposite side so quiet these days?"
Li Jinling nodded and said: "Yes, Master. The Japs are very quiet these days. Even cold shots are fired sparingly. Several times our people saw that they were too quiet and conducted several fire reconnaissance with 60 mortars."
, they also acted as if they were mute and didn’t even fight back. It’s really a fucking ghost. I’m just wondering, when did the ghosts change their ways?”
Bai Jingran sneered and said: "Our ancestors have long told us that if anything goes out of the ordinary, it will be a monster. Don't you still know what the devil's temper is like? I guess the devil must have some conspiracy to swallow his anger like this. You can look back later.
Send out several reconnaissance teams to conduct a detailed reconnaissance within a hundred kilometers ahead. If that doesn't work, ask the Air Force to send reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance. I guess the Japanese are definitely going to do something wrong again!"
"yes!"
Li Jinling nodded and agreed.
At this time, a communications staff officer bent over and trotted over from the other end of the trench. It was estimated that he had run a long way. When he came to Bai Jingran, he panted and took out a telegram from his pocket and said: "
Master, the military is calling!"
Although Su Rui has been promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the fourth theater at this time, everyone knows that his deputy commander is just a false title. Except for the 300 Army, Su Rui cannot even mobilize a battalion of other troops.
As expected, Su Rui was very open-minded, but some of the officers below felt aggrieved for him. In order to express their dissatisfaction with the actions of the Military and Administrative Department, many people still called him "Military Seat".
After receiving the telegram, Bai Jingran read it for a while and then snorted: "As expected, the Japanese are still so restless!"
Li Jinling on the side asked curiously: "Master, what happened?"
"No, take a look for yourself." Bai Jingran handed him the telegram manuscript in his hand.
Li Jinling took a look at the telegram and couldn't help but gasped, "What, the Japanese Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade has secretly arrived in Jiangmen, and the 48th Division is also moving towards Jiangmen. They want to
What to do? War on all fronts?"
Bai Jingran sneered: "What else can they do? We have recovered Yangchun and Enping. It's strange that the Japanese can sit still. But what I didn't expect was that they would use so many troops to fight us. Kanari
Mikiro Furusou is much more courageous than Toshiyoshi Ando."
Li Jinling shook his head: "Master, this time the Japanese have dispatched three divisions plus a heavy artillery brigade, nearly 70,000 troops. With so many people swarming towards Enping, our 400 divisions alone can't
I can't resist it. Besides, our air force just suffered a loss a few days ago. Even the number of routine patrols has been reduced a lot these days. It's not going to work like this. We have to report it to the military and mobilize some more troops.
Come here, let alone other things, at least the heavy artillery brigade and armored regiment must be transferred here, right? Otherwise, our 400 division with more than 10,000 men cannot defend Enping!"
Bai Jingran thought for a while, then shook his head: "No need, since the military seat knows the movements of the Japanese, it will naturally make overall arrangements. If we rashly request the military seat to increase troops now, it will only disrupt the military seat's deployment. Besides,
With our 400 divisions with more than 10,000 troops, more than 100 artillery pieces and complete fortifications, even if the Japanese attack three divisions at the same time, I am confident that I will persist until reinforcements arrive!"
Seeing that Bai Jingran had made up his mind, Li Jinling had no choice but to close his mouth and was too embarrassed to say anything more.
After a while, Bai Jingran finally put away the telescope and turned around and said: "Okay, let's go back. You go back and inform us that officers above the regiment will come to the division headquarters at five o'clock in the afternoon..."
Before Bai Jingran finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound in the sky. Soon, a few small black dots emerged from the clouds. They quickly lowered their altitude and began to circle around the position of the 400th Division.
, their altitude was very low, and even the rising sun flag under the wing could be clearly seen. Kashiwa made a visual inspection and found that the flying height of these aircraft may not even be a hundred meters.
"You bastard, these devils are too rampant. Are they bullying me into not daring to beat you?"
Li Jinling looked at the several Japanese planes of Tianwang, and his teeth were itching with hatred. Although the Japanese ground troops had been unusually honest in the past two days, on the contrary, their planes were extremely active, often flying at the positions of the 400th Division.
The 400th Division also has an air defense regiment, equipped with more than 60 anti-aircraft artillery of various calibers. These anti-aircraft artillery may seem numerous at first glance, but once spread out to various positions, they are not enough to see. Therefore, in addition to
Except for the division headquarters and the artillery regiment, which are each guarded by more than thirty anti-aircraft guns, the remaining positions almost do not have sufficient air defense capabilities.
Normally, this shortcoming is due to the strong air power of the 300 Army. The Japanese aircraft basically have no chance to hang out here. However, since the First Air Division lost a few aircraft in a defeat a few days ago, the Japanese aircraft have suddenly become much bolder.
, reconnaissance planes and fighter planes came here every now and then to take pictures, which made the officers and soldiers on the position have itchy teeth.
"Huh, are you bullying me for not having a plane?"
Looking at the plane that was constantly circling at low altitude, Bai Jingran sneered and ordered: "Come on, each position will immediately set up 12.7-caliber dual-purpose machine guns, and give little Japan a sneaky wink. Don't think that our air force
We suffered a small loss, and now that there are fewer dispatches, there is nothing we can do against them."
"yes!"
Li Jinling had also been dissatisfied with the Japanese aircraft for a long time. He immediately conveyed Bai Jingran's order. After a while, reports came from various positions. The high-level dual-purpose machine guns were set up and ready to fire at any time.
"Okay, tell me brothers, when the Japanese reconnaissance planes fly low again, give me a hard hit immediately. It's best to knock down two of those bastards."
As soon as Bai Jingran gave the order, he saw two more Japanese reconnaissance planes circling low and flying recklessly, and even four or five carrier-based bombers and fighter jets were diving repeatedly, bombing and strafing the positions of the 400th Division with arrogance.
Extremely arrogant.
Seeing that the Japanese aircraft was only more than a hundred meters above the ground, Kashiwa immediately ordered the Gaoping machine gun to fire immediately. For a moment, tongues of flame were seen constantly emerging from various positions. After a while, the plane flying at the front
The plane suddenly fell down and fell into a field not far from the road. As a huge fireball rose, the enemy plane was completely destroyed. The engine of the second Japanese plane was also hit.
While barely climbing up, black smoke came out of the tail. After flying like a drunken fighter for a while, it fell headfirst. No parachute appeared in the sky, so the Japanese pilot was probably killed.
Seeing this, the remaining three or four Japanese planes did not dare to stay here anymore, and immediately turned around and flew back to their hometown to report their death. After shooting down two enemy planes in succession, there was cheering in all positions.
Unlike the 400 Division position where cheers were constantly cheering, in a hidden bunker in the Japanese position not far from them, Colonel Yamazaki Shiro, captain of the 55th Regiment of the 18th Division, was so angry that he cursed.
"These stupid navy, they have nothing to do and come here to seek death! They are using precious aircraft to compete with the Chinese people. Do they only think about flavored soup?"
Colonel Shiro Yamazaki's anger is justified. Their ground troops have been busy setting up artillery positions these days to prepare for the major counterattack in the next few days. However, the aircraft carrier formations cruising on the sea refused to live in peace and sent out bombers.
They wandered around with reconnaissance planes, dropping bombs everywhere and taking pictures as if they were afraid that the Chinese people wouldn't know. In just two days, they appeared here more than ten times. Well, since you are here, take pictures honestly.
Right, but these people seemed to be afraid that the Chinese army would not know that they were coming, and they were dropping bombs and shooting everywhere, making the place a mess. They are fine now, have they been beaten down? Are you dumbfounded?
Regarding the navy's stupid behavior, Colonel Yamazaki Shiro didn't know whether he should scold them for being stupid or laugh at them for being stupid. While the army tried its best to avoid irritating the 400th Army on the opposite side, the navy sent planes to constantly provoke. This kind of behavior
It's no less than telling China nakedly, I'm going to beat you, so hurry up and prepare to fight!
Colonel Shiro Yamazaki, who was almost so angry that he had a stomachache, immediately sent a telegram to Mikiro Furuso in Guangzhou, deeply criticizing the Navy's unorganized and undisciplined behavior, and at the end of the telegram, he implored Vice Admiral Mikiro Furuso to stop the Navy's behavior.
Kind of stupid behavior.
After seeing the telegram, Furuzo Chiro was a bit dumbfounded. Although he was the commander of the 21st Army and could be considered a general with more than 100,000 troops, he had nothing to do once he encountered the navy. The army and navy were originally
They are not subordinate to each other. Not to mention whether the Navy's behavior is right or wrong, but just because he will rely on the Navy's carrier-based aircraft for help in two days, it is even less likely to make irresponsible remarks at this time, so he
I had no choice but to send a telegram to Colonel Yamazaki Shiro, asking him to calm down and concentrate on his duties.
After receiving the telegram, Colonel Yamazaki Shiro could only sigh and go back to work in silence. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
