A moment later, a communications soldier panted and ran over to report: "Captain, the First Infantry Battalion has captured the outer positions of the Independent Regiment, but no enemy troops have been found on the positions!"
"Nani? There isn't a single enemy?" Deputy Commander Kawaki Shiro was stunned upon hearing this.
However, Taro Koga burst out laughing and said: "The China Army collapsed without a fight. The China Army is the China Army. It does not dare to fight with the Imperial Army! Order, the first infantry brigade cannot stop and continue to move forward.
Rush forward, and be fast, fast! We must capture the main peak of Hat Mountain before the 108th Infantry Regiment!"
"Hai!" The signal soldier nodded heavily, turned around and ran away.
Kawaki Shiro said: "Captain, it is said that the Daimeishan Independent Regiment is very powerful. Even the Kumamoto Division and Himeji Division were defeated by them, but now they have given up their peripheral positions without resistance.
, is there any conspiracy in this? Otherwise, let’s take it easy first.”
"It's too late if you wait a moment. The 108th Infantry Regiment has taken the main peak position of Hat Mountain!" Taro Koga said, "The Damei Mountain Independent Regiment is actually the same thing. As for the Kumamoto Division you mentioned
regiment and Himeji Division, it doesn’t mean anything. The tiger still has time to take a nap, so it’s not surprising that the horse stumbles forward.”
After a pause, Koga Taro continued: "What's more, this operation was a surprise attack. The Dameishan Independent Regiment didn't expect us to attack at all. It's not surprising that we were caught off guard and fled without fighting.
After all, when it comes to escaping, no one in this world can match the Chinese, haha."
Hearing this, Kawasaki Shiro said nothing more.
However, Taro Koga turned to the signal corps behind him and said: "Immediately send a telegram to the former enemy headquarters, saying that our Sasayama regiment has broken through the enemy's outer positions and is advancing towards the main peak of Hat Mountain!"
"Hai." The signal soldier nodded heavily and turned around.
After receiving Taro Koga's order, the 170th Infantry Regiment continued to boldly advance forward, and the bold advance of the 170th Infantry Regiment affected the 108th Infantry Regiment and the 108th Infantry Regiment in the other two directions.
The 137th Infantry Regiment. Originally, these two regiments had stopped attacking, but when they heard that the 170th Infantry Regiment was still advancing, these two infantry regiments were afraid of taking the first step to capture the main peak of Mao Mountain.
When they fell aside, they followed suit and moved forward quickly.
(Dividing line)
There is a mountain called Fulong Mountain to the west of Mao Mao Mountain. The two mountains are about two kilometers apart. These two not very high peaks are like two door gods, one crouching on the east and one west on the road from Pukou to Pucheng.
On both sides of the main road, however, in comparison, the hat on the east side is steeper, making it easier to defend and harder to attack.
This was also the main reason why He Shuya chose to build fortifications on his hat.
However, the little devil didn't know that Niu Dazhuang's artillery camp was hidden on Fulong Mountain to the west.
At this moment, Niu Dazhuang was standing on a raised cliff, holding a telescope to observe the movement on Maomao Mountain. In the field of view of the telescope, the entire Maomao Mountain was full of torches, and flashlight beams were flashing everywhere. This showed that,
The little devils have almost crowded the entire hat mountain.
In an instant, Niu Dazhuang's lips curled up into a smile.
The next moment, Niu Dazhuang suddenly put down the telescope, turned around and roared: "Every artillery platoon has them, according to the calibrated elements, all are loaded with sulfur bombs, and ten rounds are fired rapidly!"
"Yes, calibrate the elements, load the brimstone bombs, and fire ten rounds rapidly!"
"Calibrate the elements, load the sulfur bombs, and fire ten rounds rapidly!"
"Load the brimstone bombs and fire ten rounds rapidly!"
"Ten rapid fire shots!"
Niu Dazhuang's order was quickly conveyed.
The next moment, more than thirty 75 mountain cannons, 92 infantry guns and 80 mortars raised their muzzles one after another, firing five sulfur bombs in the direction of Mao Mao Mountain. After a moment,
Rows of sulfur bombs accurately landed on the marked impact points on Hat Mountain, and then burned.
If it were just over 300 rounds of sulfur bombs, it would certainly not pose much of a threat to the Japanese army.
However, the scary thing is that there are eight thousand landmines buried under the ground of Mao Mao Mountain! Although they are only black powder mines produced by Dameishan Arsenal, the power of a ten-pound pack of black powder is still quite powerful after the explosion.
Not to mention anything else, the shock wave and sound wave generated by the explosion alone are enough to shock the devil to death.
Three hundred rounds of sulfur bombs accurately landed on the 80 pre-calibrated impact points, instantly igniting the fuse buried at the impact point, which in turn detonated 8,000 ten-pound charge mines buried underground.
, almost instantly, the entire Hat Mountain area was completely enveloped by continuous explosions.

First set the time back to five minutes ago.
In Nanjing Fanghua Garden, the Chief of Staff of the Central China Condemnation Army Kawabe Masami was bragging about how perfect and classic the planned attack on Damei Mountain was, and he made bold predictions.
Judgment, threatening that this attack will easily capture Meizhen and destroy the home base of Dameishan Independent Regiment.
Listening to Hebian Zhengzo talking non-stop, Dong Jiurenianyan didn't say a word.
In the now-concluded Battle of Wuhan, the Second Army led by Higashihisa Ninuhiko took the lead in making a breakthrough from Xinyang at the most critical moment, directly leading to the defeat of the National Army. In comparison, Itagaki Seishiro's Eleventh Army
The performance was lackluster, and Itagaki Seishiro was injured in the Battle of Jiujiang, so history has changed a little: the Second Army was not deorganized as in history, and the one that was deorganized in this time and space became the Eleventh Army.
Naturally, the Japanese army stationed in Wuhan also changed from the historical Eleventh Army to the Second Army in Dongjiure.
Dong Jiurenyan first experienced the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Dameishan, and then experienced the surprising victory in the Battle of Wuhan. His whole temperament has undergone great changes. He is no longer as irritable as when he first arrived on the Chinese battlefield. At that time, he even
He dared to personally lead a cavalry regiment to charge into battle, but now he is much calmer.
That’s why it is said that those who become healed after a long period of illness and become gods after a long period of fighting, as long as they are not real idiots, will eventually grow up, but the cost of growth for Tojiu Nianyan is too high.
Facing Masamori's eloquent talk by the river, Dong Jiuren didn't say a word.
In the end, Nishio Hisao couldn't bear it any longer and asked Higashihisa Ninahiko: "What do you think of this plan, Your Highness?"
Dong Jiureyan smiled faintly and said: "Of course the raid plan formulated by Hebian Sang is perfect, at least in theory, it is absolutely perfect. However, I am skeptical about whether this plan can work.
, because the Dameishan Independent Regiment is not that easy to deal with."
Kawabe Shozo's face immediately darkened, because Higashikata Ninahiko almost completely denied the entire plan. Although Higashikata Ninahiko said that the entire combat plan was perfect, he also said that this plan could not work. It would not work.
Can the plan be said to be a perfect plan? To say it is a joke would be better.
Kawabe Shozo said unconvinced: "Your Highness is saying that this plan is a joke?"
"Hebian Sang, I didn't say that." Dong Jiu Nianyan waved his hands lightly, but the expression on his face clearly said, yes, this battle plan is a joke.
When Zhengzo by the river was about to argue, a faint thunder suddenly sounded outside the war room.
But soon, the expressions of Nishio Hisou, Kawabe Shozo and Higashino Nurihiko all changed, because they immediately realized that this was not thunder, but an explosion!
The three of them turned around and walked out. As soon as they walked out of the door of the war room, the three of them immediately noticed that the night sky that was supposed to be pitch black seemed to be on fire, with patches of bright red. Looking closer, this dazzling red light came from
In Jiangbei, Nishio Hisao's face suddenly changed, and Kawabe Shozo's face turned even pale.
Because there is a Yangtze River between Nanjing and Pukou, and Fanghua Garden, where the headquarters of the Central China Condemnation Army is located, is located in the southeastern suburbs of Nanjing. The straight-line distance from Fanghua Garden to Mao Mao Mountain, a battlefield in the north of the Yangtze River, is at least 20 kilometers.
Such a loud noise can be heard from such a distance, which shows how tragic the explosion scene was!
Hebian Zhengzo's family knew their own affairs and knew that the 104th Field Artillery Regiment only had thirty-six 75 field guns. A cluster bombardment of thirty-six 75 field guns would definitely not have such a big momentum, so it was the only credible one.
The explanation was that the huge explosion was caused by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Thinking of this, Hebian Zhengzo's heart immediately began to sink.
However, Kawabe Masami always had a trace of luck in his heart and said: "Maybe the arsenal in Pukou exploded."
"The arsenal in Pukou?" Nishio Shouzou turned around after hearing this and stared at Shozo Kawabe with a very dissatisfied look. Do you really think I can't read a military map? The location of the arsenal in Pukou is not here at all!
However, Higashikata had a rare good word for Kawabe Shozo: "Your Majesty, General, although this big explosion happened very suddenly, it was most likely caused by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. However, the first
The 104th Division may not suffer a loss, so let us wait for the telegram from the 104th Division."
Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Dong Jiu Ni Niyan just said the telegram, a communications staff officer hurried over.
After running in front of Nishio Juzo, the communications staff officer gave a serious pause and said: "Your Excellency, the Fourth Division is sending an urgent call. The 108th Infantry Regiment, 137th Regiment and 170th Regiment participating in the general attack are in the hat.
We were ambushed by minefields in the mountainous area and suffered heavy losses. We request urgent tactical guidance from the Condemnation Army Headquarters!"
"Nani?" Hebian Zhengsan said in shock, "Mine formation?!"
Kawabe Shozo couldn't accept it at all. A raid that he carefully planned and deployed was easily disintegrated by the opponent's mine array.
But Nishio Juzo snorted and said: "Joke, this is a joke!"
