Chapter 572: Tentative Attack

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you see, the terrain at the mouth of this Jinlong Gorge Canyon is very steep, and the width is not large. We won't be able to put too many forces into the attack. I'm afraid it's going to be a war of attrition. ”

After setting up camp, Major General Ueno Masa, chief of staff of the Itagaki Division, and Seishiro Itagaki walked to a hillside, hid behind several large trees on the hillside, and observed with binoculars. Among them, Ueno said to Seishiro Itagaki in a solemn voice.

Itagaki Seishiro was holding a telescope in his hand at this time, carefully observing the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge more than 500 meters away from the place. I saw the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Canyon, which had been regarded by the new regiment as the first pass to enter and exit the new regimental headquarters of Hutou Mountain.

"Damn, the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is worthy of being a dangerous pass that can not be opened. The terrain is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ueno-kun, you see, pillboxes have been built on the left and right sides of the valley mouth of the canyon, and they are all built of reinforced concrete, covered with sleepers, and sacks and other things are built on top of the sleepers. ”

Ueno Zhenghai sighed, and also said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency the division commander, in front of the other pillbox, there are several barbed wire blocking positions, and the humble official also saw that the other party was in front of the barbed wire, and also dug a trench. I'm afraid I know that we are going to attack the Hengshan branch of their base. Otherwise, how can a trench be dug. The trenches, apparently freshly dug for a short time, would never last more than an hour. ”。

"Yo Xi!"

Seishiro Itagaki said, "Ueno-kun is right. It seems that our opponent's intelligence gathering must be very powerful. No wonder, even if the empire captured most of Jin Province, it was still difficult to eliminate the power of the Eighth Route Army. Hiding troops among the people, it is too easy for the Eighth Route Army to collect information on the garrison of the empire. ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do? To fight or not to fight? ”

Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and sneered: "Of course it's a fight, contact the Seventh Wing of the Imperial Air Force that took off from Xinkou, where are their fighters now?" Now the weather is at least good, at least the fighters of the aviation forces bomb the defensive positions of the new regiment, it is absolutely okay. ”。

"Your Excellency the division commander, I will immediately send a report to contact the aviation unit." Ueno paused heavily, and soon sent a telegram to contact Xinkou to take off to reinforce their Japanese air force fighters.

While Seishiro Itagaki was waiting for the air force fighters to arrive over the Jinlongxia Gorge in Hengshan to bomb them, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also hiding in a bunker behind the Jinlongxia Gorge and holding binoculars to observe the more than 5,000 Japanese troops of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army's Itagaki Division encamped in the woods more than 500 meters away.

"Damn, Seishiro Itagaki is an old devil, and he's really not afraid of death. At 500 meters, the infantry artillery of labor and management can be hit, and the mortar can be used. It's a pity that where the old devil is encamped, the effect of artillery bombardment is not great. In the bunker headquarters, Li Yunlong, who was observing the situation of the Japanese army through the observation hole, smiled, and smiled regretfully at the political commissar Zhao Gang on the side.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Lao Li, you kid don't take a look, Itagaki Seishiro on the other side, but he led half a division to defeat the old devils of more than 30 divisions of the National Army, Jin Sui Army, etc., and naturally has a hand in camping, how can he give us a chance to kill them by shelling?" Now, it depends on whether Seishiro Itagaki will gather heavy troops to attack as soon as he comes up. ”。

"Probably not!"

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Itagaki Seishiro can easily observe the fortifications at the mouth of our Jinlong Gorge Valley, even if the old devil needs to attack the mouth of the canyon in a hurry, he will not attack it as soon as he comes up. This was a waste of his precious troops, although they had more than 5,300 Japanese troops, and they were all well-equipped and well-armed Japanese troops with good combat effectiveness. But it won't be used like this, I guess Seishiro Itagaki should be waiting for something. ”。

"Then Lao Li, what are the little devils waiting for?" Zhao Gang shrugged and smiled, his tone was very relaxed.

Li Yunlong was suddenly stabbed by the dazzling sunlight, and suddenly thought of something, so he said to Zhao Gang in a condensed voice: "It's been more than ten minutes since the five thousand little devils under the Panel Wall Seishiro have rushed to the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge. Made, Seishiro Itagaki this old devil is waiting for their bombers, fighters. ”。

"What? The old devil is waiting for the fighter? Zhao Gang was immediately surprised when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he suddenly continued: "Yes, now that the weather is getting better and the sun is piercing the clouds, it is the most favorable time for the Japanese air force fighters to be dispatched. That's the trouble. ”。

Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to spread out the map, and then looked at the military map with Zhao Gang.

"Judging from the map, I led Zhang Dabiao and them to attack Yangmingbao Airport before, and completely damaged the airport before evacuating. It was impossible for Japanese fighters to take off from Yangmingbao Airport, and the Datong airfield was also destroyed by the way after a sneak attack. It is estimated that the fighter reinforcement that Seishiro Itagaki is looking forward to the most is estimated to be in Xinkou. According to the calculation of time, the Japanese fighters that took off from Xinkou are likely to fly to the sky above our Hengshan base to carry out strafing and bombing. ”

Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, what should we do?" We don't have any warplanes. ”。

"Okay, concentrate all the captured Japanese light and heavy machine guns, ambush them on the top of Cuiping Peak, Tianfeng Ridge and Jinlongxia Canyon, as well as on Hutou Mountain, and set up anti-aircraft machine gun fire dragon nets. Get out of that 88mm anti-aircraft gun, wait until the imp bombers reach us, and take out their bombers with the 88 guns. The light and heavy machine guns in our hands are enough to eat a devil fighter to sneak attack the formation. Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang.

"Good!"

Zhao Gang said loudly: "I will arrange this matter personally." ”。

After speaking, Zhao Gang hurriedly went out and mobilized light and heavy machine guns to arrange air defense positions.

At this time, Itagaki Seishiro observed the valley mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge for a long time, and soon called Ueno Masashi and the two Japanese army captains, and several Japanese army captains under his command to hold a meeting.

"In front of it is the entrance and exit of the new Hutou Mountain: the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Canyon. As long as we can capture the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge, our next battle will be easy to fight! Now I order, the 41st Wing, send out an infantry brigade to make a tentative attack, cover with artillery fire, and begin the attack in five minutes. Seishiro Itagaki waved his hand in the air to Yamazaki, the commander of the 41st Wing on his left, and ordered.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, and promise to complete the task." Yamazaki, the commander of the 21st Brigade and the 41st Wing, stood up in the air and paused heavily.

Seishiro Itagaki nodded and continued: "Yo Xi, you deserve to be my general under Seishiro Itagaki. In addition, the headquarters of the 7th Wing of the Imperial Air Force that took off from Xinkou has been contacted, and the 20 fighters they dispatched, including 10 heavy aerial bombs carried by twin bombers, are enough to blow up the Chinese pillboxes at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge. Therefore, prepare yels! ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" All the devil officers stood up one after another, and stood up and said.
