That's right, it was bombing artillery. Komura Naoyun was far more decisive than the two artillery battalion captains who had the cannon taken away by the independent regiment and directly bombarded the fourth brigade into rubbish.
Seeing that our own infantry squadron was in danger in the crazy Chinese offensive, the infantrymen who had been deployed to search for the tiger were still more than ten miles away and could not be rushed back. The troops on the front line were still ten miles away. By the time they
Run over if you run out of breath, maybe the Chinese can already use the 8th Regiment's artillery to blast them into the sky.
Lieutenant Colonel Naoun Komura, who felt that he could no longer wait for reinforcements, had no intention of using the three thousand troops under his command to resist. The precious technical troops should not be massacred by Chinese bullets like this.
The 8th Artillery Regiment, which has always promoted itself as a technical arm superior to the infantry, issued the order to explode the artillery on behalf of the commander.
Then, Cheng Yuanshan, who was preparing to launch a desperate charge to defeat the defenders and finally explode the artillery, his eyes widened. The eyes of the twenty soldiers in the demolition team carrying a cluster grenade bomb widened.
Before they could even take action, there were explosions all over the position of the Japanese Eighth Artillery Regiment, and flames reaching into the sky more than ten meters high proved one thing - the Japanese artillery had exploded.
Did Ling Hong and the others take medicine or something? So powerful? Cheng Yuanshan immediately thought of the "culprit" on Ling Hong and his special forces team. It seemed that only they had this ability.
However, this is too awesome. Thousands of Japanese troops were actually infiltrated by them, and they were so happy to explode.
As everyone knows, the special forces who were hiding themselves tightly hundreds of meters away were also a little confused at the moment. Cheng Yuanshan was still trying his best. Why did the cannon explode? Who did it?
The Independent Regiment was blinded, and the Eighth Division Headquarters was also dumbfounded. Nishi Yiichi, who was alarmed by the sound of gunfire and jumped out of the headquarters, looked at the flames rising into the sky in the direction of the artillery unit eight miles away and almost died.
Cerebral hemorrhage and heart disease occur at the same time.
Okay! The gunfire didn't last ten minutes, and the artillery was finished? Could it be that the Chinese who attacked were all soldiers from heaven and generals?
Yes, he was stupid and only left two infantry squadrons for the defense of the two artillery units, but that was still 400 people! Add the thousands of people in the two artillery brigades, and even if the Chinese were heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, they would not be able to defend themselves.
If you can resist for a while, you can at least wait until reinforcements arrive!
Is it possible that this stupidity can be contagious? Of course, this is not what Nishiyi thinks.
The matter has reached this point, and of course it is irreversible. "Baga, order Matsuda Kunisan to launch a general offensive. The Chinese are playing with fire and burning themselves." Nishi Yiichi, a Japanese general known for his rationality, finally found his mind after suffering countless blows.
With a trace of his old style, he immediately issued military orders.
However, instead of continuing to mobilize large military areas to encircle and suppress the attacking enemy forces, an order for a general attack was issued.
The reason is very simple. Luo Wenyu's Chinese defenders were engaged in a battle between trapped beasts. They jumped from the other side of the mountain through a road that he could not know. As for where the road was, it no longer mattered. Nishi Yiyi passed through the Eighth Artillery Regiment
Judging from the speed of the collapse, the number of Chinese who were attacking was quite large.
Since the number of Chinese who attacked was quite large, the number of defenders at Luo Wenyu's main position was decreasing. Nishi Yiichi, who had studied at Army University, was quite comfortable with knowledge such as addition and subtraction.
Because of his quick decision, Komura Naoyun took the initiative to blow up the artillery and had no time to report to the headquarters. And when Lieutenant General Nishi Yiichi issued an emergency military order, how could he ask his subordinates who were almost dispersed about the situation?
It must not be possible! The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. It is the responsibility of a general to seize opportunities that are beneficial to one's own side. How can one look forward and backward?
Therefore, Lieutenant General Xi Yiyi made a mistake again after he made a mistake in judging the strength of the troops at Xifengkou. Last time, he was severely beaten in front of the 29th Army, and tens of thousands of troops were lost. What about this time?
Without artillery support, what would happen if there were only 4,000 Japanese troops left responsible for attacking infantry on the front line?
You'll have to fight to find out.
Anyway, the moment Matsuda Kunizo received the military order from the headquarters, he dispatched all the troops under his command and launched another fierce attack on all the positions at Luo Wenyu Pass. As for Major General Tanibe Terube, who was the temporary commander of the 11th Brigade,
At the moment, the remnants of the 11th Brigade, less than one brigade away, are squatting on the edge to repair.
The entire 11th Brigade was as unlucky as their previous unlucky brigade commander Nagakawahara Kan. Seven thousand strong soldiers fought for eight days, and two thousand people lay in the hospital under the muzzles of the Chinese guns.
There are more than 3,000 people, and the 1,000 people who were assigned to protect the heavy artillery brigade can still hold guns, and they can't even make up 800 people. To say that they are a brigade is to look down on them.
Both China and Japan were confused by the decision of Captain Komura Naoyun of the 8th Artillery Regiment, and then they both made their own responses. Nishi Yiichi immediately sent his troops to attack Luo Wenyu, while Cheng Yuanshan jumped up and decisively
After launching a charge, the Eighth Artillery Regiment's cannons were gone, but the heavy artillery brigade's cannons were still there. He had to kill those large-caliber howitzers before Japanese reinforcements arrived.
In fact, after Naoyun Komura started exploding artillery, all the Japanese troops on the 8th Artillery Regiment's position had no intention of continuing to fight. The artillery was gone, so they were still standing guard! Withdraw first! Wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Get rid of these nasty Chinese people.
Ever since, Cheng Yuanshan yelled: "Chong" with his throat still spinning, and he was dumbfounded to see that the once proud Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire had run away like the Chinese army they despised.
The surrounding mountains are their best hiding place. Even the gods can't get through there.
"Damn it, it turns out that the little devils also have silver pewter gun tips. If they are a little cruel, they will be scared." Cheng Yuanshan, such a calm person, couldn't help but murmured a curse.
In fact, it was not that Cheng Yuanshan and the others were too ruthless to frighten this group of Japanese troops, but that in the past eight days in front of the Luo Wenyu Pass, the Independent Regiment was like a hard hammer, bit by bit beating down the Japanese who were the best in the world.
Their pride was shattered, and the Japanese who lost their pride naturally became cowardly in front of guns and cannons.
The so-called strong army is not about weapons, but about spirit.
Only the Republic of China volunteers with millet and rifles could fight hard for three years in the snowy fields of the north with the American cowboys who were armed to the teeth with aircraft carriers, aircraft, cannons and tanks, and that was why they ended in a draw.
I am the victorious army. The Independent Regiment is gradually possessing this spirit, but the Eighth Division, with a series of failures, makes this spirit go further and further away from them.
Rushing, rushing wildly, the 300 independent regiment officers and soldiers rushed through the positions of the disintegrated infantry squadron and the artillery positions of the Eighth Artillery Regiment. No one paid attention to the Japanese troops who had lost their fighting spirit and were running around. The heavy artillery brigade in front,
