That bastard Zhao Ergou risked his head by disobeying military orders. The four Type 41 mountain cannons that he retained could only fire a hundred more rounds and became scrap metal.
However, now they can shoot as many as they want. Chen Yunfa actually has nearly 7,000 rounds of artillery shells of the same specifications, and two more cannons.
A Japanese baggage convoy that wanted to take a shortcut to Luo Wenyu's front line was completely wiped out. Liu Lang finally figured out why the arrogant Eighth Division was holding on to its position like this. They must also be waiting for this baggage group. When he thought of
If the Japanese invaders could obtain thousands of rounds of artillery shells, the ten infantry cannons they still possess could continue to erupt in flames of death, and Liu Lang would break out in a cold sweat.
Each shell fired may take the life of a soldier. He has only passed 2,000 people now, but he can no longer lose his life.
"Today's general attack at twelve o'clock is cancelled. When will we attack? Wait for orders. Leave enough sentries. The rest of the people will go to sleep." Liu Lang issued an order that surprised everyone.
At the same time, Liu Lang sent a company of Chi Dakui of the Third Battalion overnight, led by Ling Hong who was active twenty miles around the position, and rushed overnight towards Qinglong Mountain, seventy miles away. The purpose of their trip was to transport at least
Two thousand rounds of artillery shells came back.
Zhao Ergou was also jumping for joy, even though he was ordered to return to Luo Wenyu overnight to transport several mountain cannons he had buried in the ground back here.
His artillery battery will have more artillery than any Japanese artillery brigade tomorrow.
Liu Lang also wanted to let the Japanese army feel what it meant to be bombarded and what it meant to be beaten passively. Tomorrow, the roar of more than a dozen cannons at the same time without stopping would make the Japanese invaders guarding the simple field fortifications feel what it meant to be desperate.
As for whether he would be surrounded by Japanese invaders, Liu Lang was not worried at all.
The current situation of insufficient strength of the Kwantung Army was not known to the senior officials of the national army at this time, but Liu Lang, who came from the future, knew it all too well. He never expected that the Chinese army would be so incompetent that it captured Rehe in half a month and invaded in a month.
After breaking the Great Wall, the Kwantung Army, which had to maintain the armaments of the three northeastern provinces, maintain the captured territory, and maintain a long supply line, had no spare capacity to mobilize even one more infantry brigade here.
In the past, in order to force the Chinese government to sign the unequal treaty formulated by the base camp, the Kwantung Army Headquarters dared to mobilize a brigade of the 14th Division stationed in Heilongjiang to participate in the Battle of the Great Wall after discussions with the Army Ministry. However, that was already
It's the end of April.
Even if the Kwantung Army Headquarters really looks down upon the Eighth Division and dares to take the risk and dispatch the Fourteenth Division, that will only happen half a month later.
As for the two mixed brigades that have occupied Xifengkou and are pursuing the 29th Army, Liu Lang has already sent four special forces in two groups to investigate them hundreds of miles away. If they dare to show signs of returning, Liu Lang will definitely
It will let them know what is a classic siege and reinforcements, and what is why the flowers are so red.
Within three days, within a radius of a hundred miles, there will only be the more than 10,000 Japanese troops and the Great Wall Regiment in front of us, and there will be no other troops.
What's more, in the eyes of the Japanese invaders, including the senior officials of the National Army, the Eighth Division was not a retreat but a planned retreat and repairs. It would be foolish for the independent regiment led by Liu Lang and the remnants of the 29th Army to chase Luo Wenyu out.
the behavior of.
If you insist on holding on to your position, although the risk of the entire army being annihilated is very high, there may be a glimmer of hope if the national army can once again gather its troops to counterattack across the board.
Only Liu Lang, who is familiar with history, knows that the so-called massing of troops to fight back across the board is a joke. The man far away in Nanchang is only thinking about how to eliminate the serious troubles in his heart. At this moment, his idea is how to negotiate with the Japanese invaders who have sent troops to enter the customs.
!I’m afraid he has already begun to calculate in his mind the price he will pay.
That man was not very good at fighting, but he had a good vision of the overall situation. He had a clear understanding of the Japanese invaders' current mentality of not wanting to launch a full-scale war, which was in line with his strategy. Not only was China unprepared for war, but its confidants
The serious problem has not been eliminated yet.
It's just that the far-sighted Supreme Commander misjudged his own power of dominance. The Japanese invaders gave him more than four years, but the four major families under his rule used the four years of frenzied preparations for war in the country to make a fortune. As he expected,
Only a few dozen of the two hundred German armorers were reorganized until the war broke out.
He also underestimated the great wisdom of his old rival. The red troops who embarked on the world-famous migration of thousands of miles finally escaped under heavy siege and gave him a cruel blow, forcing him to
I had to hold my nose and admit the United Front.
In any case, in everyone's eyes, Liu Lang led 2,000 people to fight against the Eighth Division in the field. It was just a case of shit in the head. No one thought highly of him, except those who expected him to continue to bring miracles to China.
Ordinary people.
Therefore, he has no reinforcements, and the Eighth Division will definitely not have reinforcements.
The reason is simple, there is no need.
A quiet night passed like this, with soldiers on both sides having a good sleep. Liu Lang didn't even bother to let the artillery company drop a few shells on the enemy positions from time to time to remind them that it was time to get up.
Let the little devils get some sleep too! The poor little devil's eyes were all red, and it looked like he was suffering from lack of sleep. Liu Lang explained this to his new senior staff officer.
If you want your brothers to have a peaceful sleep, just say so directly. Tang Yongming also learned to roll his eyes.
In fact, it was quiet for most of the day.
Major Generals Tanibe Terube and Matsuda Kunizo were waiting for their baggage convoy that could never reach its destination. The radio of the baggage convoy was once again silent, so that Major General Tanibe Terube's greetings had been sent countless times and could never be heard again.
All the female relatives in Captain Nagano Yuji's family, including his eighty-year-old grandmother, were not spared.
Liu Lang was also waiting for his baggage team, four more cannons and two thousand rounds of artillery shells stolen from the Japanese invaders.
Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Lang arrived.
Chi Dakui's two platoons and two hundred civilians arrived driving more than 20 carts loaded with 2,600 rounds of artillery shells.
Zhao Ergou also came back with his four cannons dug out of the soil.
The muzzles of eight polished Type 41 mountain cannons stood high. A hundred meters around them, there were mountains of cannonballs piled up. Each cannon could fire ten bases, and the cannonballs were richer than ever before.
Following Liu Lang's order, the cannons and artillery shells that originally belonged to the Japanese army began to show their power to their former owners.
Although the 5.4 kilogram grenade cannot match the power of the more than 20 kilograms of 155 grenade heavy artillery, it is not something that a simple field fortification that was dug only half a man deep in a hurry can withstand it.
The shelling, which lasted for more than an hour, not only made the Japanese troops on the front line despair, but even the two Japanese major generals Tanibe Terube and Matsuda Kunizo almost cried.
Are the Chinese magicians? You can understand it if you have cannons. They were sent by the stupid Fourth Brigade.
