Oshima Yuzawa's words seemed to make Nishimura think a little moved, but he was a little unwilling, and carefully prepared a good show, but the main actor did not come, and the loneliness in his heart must be there, and he raised the telescope again, and the first wing of the front line has dug out a criss-crossing trench, and the follow-up troops can use the trench to advance to a distance of one hundred and fifty meters in front, which is indeed suitable for launching a general attack, regardless of whether the leading actor comes or not, the stage is set up, and this play has to be performed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Putting down the binoculars, Nishimura Takuma waved his hand and said, "Order, the first wing will launch a general attack immediately!" ”

"Hay!"

The herald galloped away.

Soon, the Japanese troops under the river embankment began to rush to the front line through a few communication trenches, but Nishimura Takuma suddenly panicked for no reason at this time, and his hands shook unconsciously, Oshima Arisawa on the side seemed to be aware of it, and lost no time in handing him a cigarette, Nishimura Takuma took the cigarette, nodded gratefully, and then, the two heads came together, and lit a cigarette on a match lit by Oshima Arisawa.

"Look, what's that?"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted.

The two hurriedly looked up, only to see that in the smoke in the front of the front, countless huge cannonballs suddenly flew out, and each cannonball exploded in the air, like a fairy scattering flowers.

"Flying Thunder Cannon!" Nishimura Takuma's eyes widened, and he let out a hoarse scream, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground instantly, "Retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

The "flying thunder cannon" in his mouth is called "no conscience cannon" in the expeditionary force, because Jiang Haoran has used it many times to bring a lot of casualties to the Japanese army, and the Japanese military industry experts have specially studied it and found that it is actually the use of the principle of mortars, using oil drums to make a projectile, using gunpowder to push out the special "cannonballs", although the manufacture is simple, but the power is indeed amazing, so the Japanese army gave it a resounding name, called "flying thunder cannon." ”

Nishimura has studied all of Jiang Haoran's tactics, and he is naturally no stranger to it, but in the habitual thinking of the regular army, they will think that this weapon cannot be put on the table, except for dealing with dense defenses at close range, it has almost no value, so for a while he didn't think of this thing at all, until the conscienceless cannon had flown to the head of the Japanese army, and he began to weaken.

But it's too late, the huge shells flying out of the smoke are probably one or two hundred at a time, and the area covered by a volley explosion of one shell reaches fifty or sixty meters, one or two hundred fifty or sixty meters, which can almost cover the entire forward fortifications, which is more thorough than any carpet bombardment, the cannonball volley explodes, making the trenches as if they were empty, and the messy shrapnel is enough to make the trenches empty.

And the light and heavy machine guns and assault rifles that the expeditionary force has not fired have not been idle, frantically throwing bullets out, but any locust army that breaks out of cover will be immediately torn to pieces.

In a hurry, Nishimura couldn't take care of anything, and ordered the artillery to open fire and all anti-aircraft fire on all fronts to cover the retreat of the 1st Wing.

Fortunately, Nishimura pondered the decisive moment at the critical moment, and the dense artillery shells and the scoop-like machine gun shells poured down on the positions of the expeditionary force, suppressing the expeditionary force to the point that they could not raise their heads at all, the gunfire suddenly became scarce, and the number of "shells" fired was also greatly reduced.

Watching the locust army jump onto assault boats, rubber boats, rafts, bamboo rafts like lost dogs, and even jump directly into the water and swim across the boat without squeezing onto the boat, Nishimura Takuma closed his eyes, and two cloudy tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes.

Temporary Headquarters of the Lashio Expeditionary Force.

When the news of the great victory came, the command headquarters was boiling, and the faces of each of them were smiling like flowers, and Chief of Staff Wu Chaowen was even so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"General Chief, did you already know that Nishimura Takuma would place a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the front line?"

Jiang Haoran pursed his lips and said, "That's for sure, I'm afraid I didn't calculate that I would use this kind of earth method to deal with him and destroy my artillery fire?" Hmph, I can produce as many cannons as I have oil drums, and I see how he can rush through my defenses? ”

"Hahaha!"

There was laughter in the command headquarters, and there was a chorus of responses.

Jiang Haoran waved his hand and said: "Tell Sun Liren that the battle will be fought like this, but if the little devils don't attack again in the afternoon, they will all retreat to the second line of defense in the second half of the night." ”

"Ah, retreat?"

The crowd all looked at Jiang Haoran with their mouths open.

Jiang Haoran laughed and said: "The little devil's squandering in front, the follow-up supplies of the heavy artillery brigade have also been brought by us, I estimate that their shells should be about the same, tomorrow if they want to attack again, they can only rely on aircraft support, although this smoke array can make the little devil see the target clearly, but this first line of defense, there is Nandu River in front of them to position, the little devil can figure it out without looking, so, continue to make the smoke bigger tomorrow, let the little devil plow the forward position again happily, and wait for them to finish bombing, If the troops press up again, the little devils can charge against artillery fire, but it is absolutely impossible to charge against aerial bombs, they want to cross the river, and our speed will be faster than them. ”

There was thunderous applause from the command headquarters.

Sidang, the forward position of the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force.

Gunfire erupted, artillery rumbled, bullets rained down, and the entire defense line, which crisscrossed and stretched for dozens of miles, opened fire on all fronts, and the enemy and us engaged in a desperate struggle.

More than 70,000 troops of two divisions of the Japanese army, against the three divisions of the Fifth Army of the expeditionary force, the first three days of the Japanese army with absolute superiority, the Fifth Army was in danger, heavy casualties, the two Burmese divisions were thrown into it to no avail, the defense line was on the verge of collapse several times, at the critical moment, Luo Zhuoying put the tank regiment and the helicopter gunship brigade all under the threat of Japanese aircraft and artillery, and at the cost of more than half of the casualties, this suppressed the position.

The battle situation was improved after three days, as the eight divisions of the Qingyi Army marched into Yingduo one by one, nearly 120,000 student soldiers of the Youth Army rushed to the forward positions and put them into the battlefield, the disparity between the forces of the two sides suddenly widened the distance, and the expeditionary force was almost a three-to-one advantage against the Japanese army, in addition, the entire Xidang defense line had already been built into semi-permanent fortifications after several months of construction, and there were many pillboxes and hidden forts, and the logistics of the expeditionary force were absolutely sufficient, all kinds of artillery shells, light and heavy machine gun bullets, and threw them at the Japanese positions without money, It was much more generous than the Japanese army, and the decline of the Japanese army was immediately apparent.
