Caught off guard, the devils on the ship fell into the water one after another under the strafing of large-caliber machine guns.

"Call for support again!" Hu Sanqi shouted. Under the flares, he had quickly seen the situation, and with his company, it was absolutely impossible not to attack such a devil.

"Yaga! Rush up! Mitsuo Nakajima shouted with a command knife. The soldiers around him also ran to the river and rowed over in the remaining boats.

The engine of a patrol boat, which had not been started by the devil, also began to roar, and a 37mm gun continued to bombard the shore.

"Mortar!" With Hu Sanqi's shouting, ten 50-mm German-made mortars and three 80 guns opened fire together, focusing on the patrol boat and firing away.

Several columns of water rose into the sky, a nearby boat capsized, and the patrol boat was also hit, but only the fire flashed and smoke rose, but the artillery did not stop.

"Strike again!"

Another round of attacks, the patrol boats that could not dodge were no longer lucky, even if the mortar projectiles were scattered from a distance, but they received another shot. This time, the patrol boat drifting down did not move again.

But more boats rowed up.

"I said that I forcibly crossed the Yellow River in Lijiazui!" Rat Er woke up Meng Xiang who had just been lying down in his clothes in time.

Meng Xiang shook his somewhat groggy head, put on his shoes, and went straight to the headquarters hall in the next room. As soon as the door opened, there were still Fan Chong and others who had arranged the plan here yesterday.

Meng Xiang looked at the sand table and found Li Jiazui under the guidance of Rat Er.

"The terrain of this place is very open, the river level is gentle, which is conducive to landing, if it is shelled, the gentle river bank has nowhere to hide, and it is not easy to defend this place." Fan Chong said, a book of maps in his mind, and casually said some of the situation there.

"The nearby team?"

"The Seven Regiments that changed their guards! His three companies had gone over to defend. The other teams are also rushing over there. ”

"There won't be anywhere else, right? Or turn the tiger away from the mountain? ”

"It's hard to say! However, judging from the news sent from the front, this is definitely also an important attack point for the devils. ”

"How did you get caught so quickly?" Ryosuke Isoya frowned, his strategy had taken many aspects into account, but he had missed the important eyes and ears of the common people.

"Accelerate plan execution." He commanded.

In Jinan's new command hall, Meng Xiang sat aside and was silent, just watching the orders issued one by one by Fan Chong, who had been authorized by himself. The military situation is urgent, and after a delay of his own, if it is delayed, he is afraid that something bad will happen. Meng Xiang didn't know how to pretend to understand, in this hall, except for Fan Chong and Tang Yaoshi, they were all loyal clone officers, and no one would make fun of them. He just kept memorizing and analyzing every command of Fan Chong, trying to learn something from it, and even if he couldn't learn it, he could open up his mind.

"Four more attack points!" Meng Xiang couldn't help frowning when he saw four small black flags planted on the sand table.

The devil has already sensed that there are fewer people in the vanguard army, and as soon as several armies are separated, they are afraid that the defense will be weaker. If it is broken through by devils all the way, the impact will be extremely far-reaching.

"There must be a point! Revisit! Fan Chong didn't raise his head, and kept gesturing in front of a map on the table.

"Staff Officer Wei has sent a telegram and destroyed three quartermaster transfer yards that he said. Now that it is temporarily surrounded and annihilated by the army, it is not appropriate to attack again. Next to him, Rat Er took a secret telegram he had just received, and attached to it were aerial photographs and schematic maps of the three quartermaster yards.

"I'm still so crazy?" Meng Xiang took it, looked at it and smiled.

"There is a lack of ammunition nearby, and they can't last two days!" Fan Chong also looked at it, and then said, "Fierce attack for a maximum of one day." ”

"The first regiment and the eighth regiment of the eastern defense line were recalled, leaving only two companies to observe cautiously, block sporadically, and concentrate troops to focus on defending the three roads in the middle and west!" After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang only blinked, but then smiled at him and nodded. He may not have understood the meaning of Fan Chong's move, but since he chose to authorize him to deal with it, it is better to use people.

Seeing that the herald had already conveyed the order, Fan Chong came over and explained: "The situation of the enemy army is unknown, but it is definitely not a five-way balanced attack, at most three ways, or even only two ways can be attacked by force. Others are just tricks. It is said that the army is still Jinpu. If it comes from the east road, our army still has time to block it all the way, or wait for reinforcements. He said that he had been delaying for a while, and the munitions transfer yard had been bombed again, and some of the troops who couldn't wait must have chosen the Chinese and Western routes, or even more risky to attack only one way. ”

"No matter how far he comes, call him back." Meng Xiang said proudly. In the past few days, he has been desperately rioting, outarming equipment, and a new battalion has been born.

The three new barracks at the Jinan sub-base are already able to produce new soldiers. Two new barracks are also under construction. A barracks has 12 soldiers a day, and then a company can come out in a day.

Such a quick dispatch of troops is also where he dares to fight street battles.

……

The day before yesterday, the army had already focused on the direction of the attack, and his own artillery fire was also roaring in unison. The opposing positions were constantly bombed, and the sappers were constantly nervously connecting to the pontoon bridge. A large number of personnel are transferred, and the other side is generally unable to conceal them, and the location of the attack has not changed. Besides, this road was meant to be a strong attack.

"Two or one?" At the same time, Ryosuke Isoya hesitated. Originally, his plan was to interfere in three ways and focus on attacks in two ways! Among the two key roads, one of them is a strong attack, and the other is a sneak attack by Li Jiazui. But the 41st Division on the opposite side actually noticed it in advance. As a result, his attack on the way to Li Jiazui's sneak attack was constantly frustrated.

Only concentrated artillery can suppress the opponent and open the situation. He did not separate the artillery, and even if he moved, it was easy to alarm the other side. However, the river-crossing troops, which lacked artillery support, were being tested by the enemy's dense firepower. Without the strong support of artillery, while the reinforcements of the opposing side continued to rush, more and more large-caliber heavy machine guns and several direct-fire 40-mm anti-aircraft guns directly blocked the river. As a result, a brigade that crossed the river did not cross the river even though it suffered heavy losses.

"With absolute strength, it can overwhelm all schemes!" This is what his co-captain Kumamoto said. He likes violent attacks and has always been disliked by him. But sometimes, a straightforward attack is the strength of both sides.

"Li Jiazui lures the enemy to attack! Zhao Jiaji went all out to assault! "He finally adjusted his tactics. There were problems with the supply of ammunition in the rear, and it took time to adjust the replenishment. The only thing needed at this point was time, and the overwhelming attack of the army could keep the battle from dragging on.

"The devil's attack has intensified!" Hu Minghe's perennial battlefield experience told him that the intensity of the devil's attack has increased again.

"Alas! It's still not as much artillery as the devils! Listening to the constant roar of the cannon outside, he sighed again.

"Be content, you have more artillery in one regiment than in a brigade in the Central Army. I still want to compare with the devil and a division! Huang Huamin scolded with a smile.

"I'm just listening to the constant bombardment of this artillery, and I feel like our infantry is about to become redundant!" Hu Minghe scratched firmly.

"Boom!" Another loud bang.

"Hurry up, evacuate quickly! This is heavy artillery. Evacuate! Suzuki Avanta shouted anxiously. The shell was so close to the artillery position that the loud sound made his ears ring. All he could see was the terrified faces of the soldiers around him, and the voices they shouted had rolled into the sky with the rising dust.

"Boom!" Another loud bang. An infantry cannon scattered into four or five pieces and flew into the air, and the muzzle of a black hole smashed into the sky until it hit a soldier who was dodging with his head in his hands, and immediately saw the purple and cyan of the intestines being squeezed out.

"Boom! Rumble! Several consecutive sounds made Suzuki's heart sink. The continuous roar at least showed that the opponent had a lot of heavy artillery. There are at least eight or more, and each door has a caliber of at least 150 mm.

The 75 artillery return fire of the first two days confused them, and they did not expect that the vanguard army would have heavy artillery.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering bang, Suzuki fell to the ground all of a sudden, looking at the sky-high cloud pillar rising not far away, he knew that it was the ammunition that had exploded, and he couldn't help but grieve: "The Reading Force Field Artillery Wing is finished!" ”

Behind the outside position, Kong Ci was beaming, commanding ten 150mm German-made K16 cannons to fire at the opposite gunfire concentration.

"It's still a heavy artillery fun!"

Meng Xiang, who was enraged by the devil's artillery fire, went all out to produce ten large-caliber cannons in the past two days. The K16 during the First World War was much cheaper and more affordable than the K18, and the Grim Reaper, who had terrified countless opponents during the First World War, was undiminished. Although it is bulky and inconvenient to transport, it is suitable for defense. As long as there is no aircraft bombing, these heavy artillery are the kings of the battlefield.
