Chapter 257: Why Don't You Go to Heaven?
The aggrieved Deputy Chi Tuan on the phone first politely rejected Qi Guangyuan's kindness, and forced to reveal that Liu Tuanzuo was now observing the enemy situation on the front line.
Qi Guangyuan was disheartened, and when he encountered a bloody battle, the regiment commander was either not allowed to carry a gun to the battlefield, or it was not new for the division commander to personally face off against the enemy on the battlefield, but when was that? It was the most critical moment of the "either you die or I die" war.
Like Liu Lang, now the two armies are running to the front line before the big war starts, what is that called? That's called irresponsibility. In the command of the overall battle, the defense line needs the support of troops, and the artillery support, which is what the commander of an army should do.
There is such an unreliable colleague in the army who is responsible for the defense of the main position, how can Qi Guangyuan feel chills in his heart, his own life and death are secondary, but he also leads thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army, if he is dragged down by such a stupid colleague and dies in vain, it is really embarrassing.
If you don't want to be aggrieved, you can only run away from fools. But it is impossible to run, Qi Guangyuan knows in his heart that running is also a death, whether it is ruthless military law or terrible consequences, as long as the Luo Wenyu Pass is broken, tens of thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army will be surrounded by the Japanese army on both sides, and the casualties are definitely far greater than the death of all their two regiments.
What's more, the 29th Army will definitely be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history because of their escape, even if they have died in battle. died in battle, and his name will be remembered for 10,000 years, for a traditional soldier like Qi Guangyuan, it is simply more terrible than death.
Therefore, Chi Dakui rejected the good intentions, but Qi Guangyuan, who gradually stabilized his mind, still did not change his original intention, and still ordered the three battalions that were ready to support Luo Wenyu Pass to continue to move towards Luo Wenyu, but slowed down. If you see that the defeat of the independent regiment is decided, you will give full support.
Anyway, from now on, looking through the telescope at the Japanese army standing like locusts at the foot of the mountain and preparing to start attacking with all its might, Qi Guangyuan is ready to die with the enemy, and the only 4 mountain guns of the two regiments have moved in the direction of the independent regiment with all their might, looking forward to giving the independent regiment a little help.
At this moment, Qi Guangyuan received a call from Liu Lang.
"Commander Qi, thank you and Commander Dong for your concern, but the three battalions you have moved over to our side are not necessary. The little devils of only 6,000 people want to swallow my independent group in one bite, and they don't have that much appetite. Liu Lang was polite and confident on the phone.
In other words, Qi Guangyuan seems to be arrogant, blindly arrogant.
Either the morale of the Japanese invaders extinguished their prestige, or in the eyes of middle and senior officers of the national army like Qi Guangyuan, a brigade of the Japanese army has more than 7,000 people, and it is also equipped with two artillery brigades, if it is a strong Northwest Army like the 29th Army in the field, it will have to mobilize at least two divisions before they dare to wrestle with them.
If it weren't for the mountains as a barrier, there would be more than 6,000 people in three regiments at Luo Wenyu Pass, which is really not enough for the little devil to eat for two.
Before Qi Guangyuan could get angry, Liu Lang said again: "However, those three battalions are not useless, I don't know if Commander Qi has the courage to play with a big ticket?。。。。。。。 ”
After listening to Liu Lang's suggestion, Qi Guangyuan hung up the phone in a daze, he couldn't believe that Liu Lang not only didn't take the more than 6,000 devils who attacked in his eyes, but even he had the idea of completely annihilating the Japanese army, and even the artillery brigade that stayed seven or eight miles away and an infantry brigade as a guard became a dish in his imagination.
This is...... Crazy?
If Grand Master Qi is allowed to wander around the Internet for a period of time, it is estimated that he finally has a sentence that is suitable for the here and now, this scene and this mood can be used to reply to Liu Lang: You are so hanging, why don't you go to heaven?
At this time, with the roar of 24 Type 41 mountain guns from the two artillery brigades of the Japanese army, the three defense areas of the independent regiment rose up with bursts of gunpowder at the same time.
Luo Wenyu's first offensive and defensive battle officially began.
Suzuki Mitsu had the idea of going down with a drum, so he didn't cherish the precious artillery shells of the empire anymore, whether it was the mountain artillery or the infantry guns brought by the brigade and brigade, he poured artillery fire on the three positions of Luo Wenyu Pass, Qianzhuzi, and Hawthorn Valley for half an hour.
From the telescope, the entire position was covered in fire and smoke, and the once majestic walls of the ancient Great Wall were reduced to rubble in the artillery fire, leaving only a few remnants of the ruins to show everyone the power of the Japanese 75-mm mountain guns.
Qi Guangyuan, who watched this scene, closed his eyes in pain, the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment on the position suffered heavy casualties at this time, according to his experience, the officers and soldiers on the position are now reduced by at least one-third, and then they are impacted by the murderous infantry of the 6,000 Japanese army, and the soldiers of the independent regiment who were shocked by the crazy artillery fire can still hold on for half an hour, it is a miracle.
That's it, that bastard still has the whimsical idea of annihilating his opponent, it's really a pity to die.
Qi Guangyuan thought so, and the Japanese high-level of the 4th Brigade naturally thought so, their own fierce artillery fire was a cruel light of death to the enemy, but for them, it was as beautiful as a blooming cherry blossom, brilliant and colorful.
"Yo Xi, pass the order, and the brigades will move to 400 feet in front of the enemy's position according to the attack position just assigned, and as soon as the artillery bombardment stops, they will launch a full-scale attack." Mitsumi Suzuki instructed Gu Yiyi, the chief of staff of the brigade beside him.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the position on the Chinese side is not wide, especially in the mountains, and it is not suitable for intensive charges, in order to reduce casualties, should we order each brigade to leave half of the reserves?" Gu Yi still did his duty as chief of staff and made suggestions for the upcoming attack.
The terrain of the mountain range where Luo Wenyu is located is more treacherous, except for the mountain position on the top of the mountain, the cliffs and cliffs abound in the rest of the position, not to mention the charge with guns and full armament, even if you are given professional mountaineering tools, you have to climb for a long time. Therefore, the three circular positions of the first line of defense are no more than 800 meters longitudinally. And the two wings were even less accessible to the soldiers on the march.
With such a width, you let nearly 1,000 infantry charge intensively, and the light machine gun bullets swept down with a shuttle of bullets, and it was not one or two that fell.
With such terrain, it was already very risky for two squadrons of 400 infantry to charge, and the distance between each soldier was only 2 meters, and there was nothing wrong with Gu Yiyi's idea.
"Chief of Staff, order one brigade to attack the front, the other brigade to attack the two flanks of the Chinese army, and each brigade in the reserve can leave a squadron, Your Excellency the division commander is fighting very hard at Xifengkou, we don't have much time to waste, every imperial soldier is eagerly waiting for the day when he will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, including you and me." Suzuki Mitsu's face turned a little colder, and he looked at the mountains 900 feet away with his saber and said lightly.
Although he gave his chief of staff a little face, made more detailed arrangements and asked to retain the reserves, the coldness in his tone could also be heard by those with an IQ lower than 50.
In other words, whoever is in the excitement of conquering the enemy's position with a single drum is afraid that such a basin of cold water will be poured on him with excessive casualties, I am afraid that it will be unpleasant. The Japanese army is highly hierarchical, even if the chief of staff is already the number two person in a unit, it does not mean that you can point fingers in front of a major general, especially in front of a brigade commander who is already full of conjectures to conquer the position and relieve the worries of the division commander.
The matter of rushing to solve the problems of Shangguan has never been the patent of the Chinese, and the Japanese are even better at it, and their humility is like drinking boiled water.
"Hey, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." Gu Yi Yizuo accepted the order with a bitter face and respectfully.
Besides, His Excellency Major General Mitsu Suzuki is not just cold in tone but ugly, Gu Yiyi, who is the chief of staff but can still only be a staff officer, still knows how to read people's faces.
Facts have proved that in the face of the "Hitler chainsaw", the consequence of the intensive charge of the Japanese army was that ---- big guys were collectively loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
Although they were not as urgent as the Major General said, on the contrary, they hid quite quickly, except for the unlucky ones who hid slowly.
After the war, this military order of Major General Mitsu Suzuki of the 4th Brigade was firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the Japanese army, including himself.
