Chapter 577: Artillery Suppression
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Seishiro Itagaki was surprised when he heard this, and said three good words in a row, but he didn't expect Yoshio Shinozuka to take the initiative to send reinforcements to him. In addition, the Japanese fighters in Xinkou were once again mobilized to send reinforcements, and the most advanced Zero fighters were also dispatched, which was enough to cover the bombers for a wave of air raids.
Ueno Masasa, the chief of staff of the division and regiment who was standing next to Seishiro Itagaki, did not feel the slightest relaxation, but said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, these reinforcements will be able to arrive here in at least forty or fifty minutes, or even an hour or so. During this time, we can only rely on ourselves. ”。
Ueno's words made Itagaki Seishiro's mood of surprise drop suddenly. However, it is at least better to have reinforcements than no reinforcements, at least after receiving reinforcements, Itagaki Seishiro is confident that he will capture the base of the new regiment and completely destroy the "old nest" of the new regiment.
"The headquarters of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division and the 63rd Wing of the 63rd Division in Pingxingguan are really wiped out, of course we need to be vigilant against Li Yunlong's department. Call back to Your Excellency the Commander and say that we are aware of the current situation. ”
Itagaki Seishiro thought about it, and then ordered the Japanese army communications staff officer who reported the situation.
"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The devil's communication staff paused heavily, and then hurried to send a report to Yoshio Shinozuka in Taiyuan City.
At this time, the feint attack was still continuing, and the guns kept ringing out, but according to the order of Itagaki Seishiro, the Japanese army with the feint was only constantly attacking in a straggler formation at this time, and the troops invested each time seemed to be a lot, but the strength of the charge was no longer large. This is also Ueno's suggestion, otherwise the new regiment of fortifications that rushes too close to Taniguchi will only become a live target for the opponent's shooting.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the thirteenth feint failed. The opposing side fired with a small part of machine gun fire and part of rifle fire, holding the barbed wire fortifications behind the trenches and firing them. Our soldiers would not have been able to get too close to the trench in a short time. ”
A few minutes later, a Japanese herald rushed in from outside the headquarters and reported to Seishiro Itagaki from behind.
"Baga Ya Road! It seems that the defensive preparations of our opponents are well done. Naturally, Seishiro Itagaki also came out of the headquarters and personally observed the feint Japanese troops retreating again with binoculars.
Standing next to Seishiro Itagaki, Chief of Staff Ueno Masa said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency the division commander, a feint still needs to be done. Even if the other side had already seen that we were feinting, only a small force of machine-gun fire and some mortar shelling counterattack blocked the attack of our feint troops. But once we stop feints, Li Yunlong will inevitably guess our idea of a roundabout flank attack. ”。
"Speaking of which!"
Seishiro Itagaki turned his head to Ueno Masa, the chief of staff on the side, and asked, "Has the troops who made a detour to find the path up the mountain after looking for Mt. Hutou have been rewarded?" What do you think? ”。
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the small units selected to be familiar with mountain warfare have not responded for the time being. Although the weather was clear at this time, and the snow on Hengshan Mountain began to no longer deepen, it was not easy to find a detour from both sides of the Jinlongxia Gorge to detour the path behind Hutou Mountain in a short time. The troops who are now detouring have not replied. Ueno shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Damn! Under this kind of terrain, we can only combine strong attacks and roundabout side attacks, otherwise, we only need to storm the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Canyon, and we will kill many of our imperial warriors, which is more difficult than fighting Xinkou and Datong Dacheng. Itagaki Seishiro said hatefully.
Ueno said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what should we do now?" Do you want to continue the feint? ”。
"Continue to feint, you can't let the Chinese army take a breath! In addition, the artillery brigade of Saka Kamipei was ordered to concentrate artillery fire and bombard the defensive positions of the opponent's canyon valley mouth, at least to smash their trenches. Blow up their barbed wire. ”
Itagaki Seishiro thought about it, but still waved his hand and ordered.
"Understood, Your Excellency the Division Commander!"
Soon, Saka Kamipei, the commander of the artillery brigade of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, who had been ordered by Seishiro Itagaki, sneered and ordered the Japanese artillery under his command to continue firing.
"Target Jinlong Gorge Valley Mouth China Defensive Position, Prepare, Release!"
Cutting down the triangular command flag in his hand, Saka Ichihei roared and ordered the Japanese artillery under his command to operate ten Japanese-made Type 92 infantry guns and more than 20 mortars to fire violently.
I saw that the Japanese artillery subconsciously released the shells from their hands and filled them into the barrels, and soon after, shells whistled out of the muzzles.
"Bang bang bang!" The cannonballs rattled, and one after another flew out of the muzzle of the cannon with a whistling sound, whistling in the sky with tail flames overwhelmingly smashing into the new fortifications at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge valley.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The cannonballs rained down and exploded, and the flames illuminated the entire somewhat gloomy canyon mouth in an instant. After the shells exploded, the smoke of the detonated artillery fire filled the entire canyon valley mouth, and the smoke and dust were shining.
"Hit, hit, give me a hard beat, don't let the little devil's infantry rush to the trench! Quick, call, ask for Wang Chengzhu's artillery support, suppress the shelling of the little devils, hurry up! ”
Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion in charge of the left flank position at the mouth of the valley, was covered with smoke and dirt above the bunker that was shaken down by Japanese artillery fire in the bunker headquarters, and he ate a little dust in his mouth.
Then, Shen Qun, who was roaring in a hurry, found that the little devil infantry in the opponent's feint attack took advantage of the situation to launch a wave of fierce attacks, and it was estimated that they wanted to take advantage of the violent explosion to kill in front of the trench. So, Shen Qun, who had stabilized, and Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion defending on the right flank, made a phone call in their respective bunker command battalion headquarters, and called Wang Chengzhu's artillery position in the rear, asking for an artillery counterattack to suppress the concentrated artillery bombardment of Ban Shangping.
"Yes! Battalion commander! ”
Soon, the field call reached Wang Chengzhu, where the artillery position of the new regiment was located on the top of Tianfengling Mountain at this time.
"Okay, I understand, shelling in half a minute, suppress the Japanese artillery fire!" Wang Chengzhu responded on the phone.
After that, Wang Chengzhu excitedly commanded the artillery of the post department, operated all the infantry guns and mortars in his hands, and began to prepare for the shelling.
"The woods five hundred meters in front of the mouth of the target canyon, the Japanese artillery position, five hundred and seventy meters away, cluster bombardment, preparation, release!"
At least five or six minutes after the arrogant artillery bombardment of the headquarters of the Saka Shoi Shoi, Wang Chengzhu had already determined the specific position of the Japanese artillery position of the Saka Shoihei Division, and at this time, it was enough to judge the location of the little devil's artillery position 90 percent without using correction shells.
"Bang bang bang!" On the top of Tianfengling Mountain, more than a dozen captured Japanese Type 92 infantry guns from the artillery position of the new regiment fired shells together and smashed towards the artillery position of Saka Ichipei with a roar.
