"What's the fight?" Lan Caiqin said with a smile: "There is no one in the county, no one on the battlefield, what are you fighting?" You fire now, it doesn't make any sense at all, it's just to tell the little devil where you are. ”

"Hurry up and order the air defense company to prepare for battle, and when the planes that bombed Suizhong County return, because they were not hit by counterattack fire, the little devil must have neglected to take precautions. That's when you'll be able to show what you're up to, and you'll ambush him! ”

Lan Caiqin's estimate was correct, and six minutes later, three enemy planes returned from the west. Seeing the thick smoke in Jinxi County, he actually circled down, as if he wanted to see the effect of the bombing, isn't this a death rush?

The plane needed a large radius to circle, and the three enemy planes turned in the direction of the Jade Emperor. Deng Jinfa saw that the timing was right, and immediately yelled: "All anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, fire!" ”

Suddenly-suddenly-suddenly-suddenly, the gunfire characteristic of the Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out from six directions.

Hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss, the sound of a dense rain of bullets tearing through the air made the hearts of the people next to him twitch when they heard it.

The two enemy planes in front of them were very crisp, crashed directly into the circle of fire, and disintegrated in the air on the spot! As the fuel tank caught fire, two huge fireballs exploded, which were more effective than any anti-aircraft gun or anti-aircraft machine gun, and directly blew up the third enemy plane that followed behind to smithereens!

"The division commander is really clever, he can calculate that the little devil is going to die! It is a miracle that all anti-aircraft machine guns took out three planes with only a third of the cartridge belt! Incredible! ”

When Deng Jinfa saw this effect, he didn't know what to say. The soldiers of the air defense company and the guard company were even more stunned, and then a deafening cheer broke out!

Lan Caiqin waved her hand at everyone, and then said, "Brothers and sisters: just now is just a prelude, and the battle has not really started yet. Next, the ground forces of the little devils will soon come up. According to the reconnaissance report, there should be more than 2,600 devils from two brigades, and four tanks to take the lead, and a brutal battle awaits us. I hope you will show all your courage and fight the little devils to the end! ”

"The reconnaissance company just got the news that the little devil's warship is rushing over, and we have no way to fight their naval guns. Battalion Commander Deng immediately informed the Tashan position that if the enemy warships opened fire, they would immediately withdraw from the battle and move to the North Changling Mountain artillery position. Wait until the little devil's attack force comes up, and then prepare to annihilate the little devil who has fled! ”

Deng Jin sent back to call, and Lan Caiqin said to Hou Jinshan, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, and Xie Yushu, the deputy battalion commander: "Battalion Commander Deng has no mobile troops in his hands, and the company in the Tashan position is also defending in three positions, so you have to divide your troops now." ”

Xie Yushu was responsible for commanding the air defense company, assisting Battalion Commander Deng's air defense company to strengthen its air defense and prevent the little devil's plane from going out again. Hou Jinshan, you led the 24 cars of the machine gun company to set off immediately. A platoon was arranged to covertly arrive five kilometers northeast of the Gushantun position, and then send people to two kilometers west of Wangshantun to lay double-shell mines. The other two platoons rushed to Dongshan Village, five kilometers southeast of the Tashan position, to conceal themselves, and also sent people to plant double-shell mines on the Gaojiabao line. ”

"After the enemy ** troops come up, the heavy artillery here will bombard the infantry of the little devils, and your task is to get the little devils' tanks back. Remember, once you succeed, immediately retreat north, and then go around to the vicinity of the Type 41 mountain artillery position in Beichangling to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. Well, let's go! ”

It is said that after Hou Jinshan received the order, he immediately came down from the top of the Jade Emperor and went all the way to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, where the 24 armored cars of the machine gun company were parked. This is the third division of Lan Caiqin's department, and the zuihou mobile unit that can be taken out at present.

The only difference between this cannon battery and the anti-aircraft company is that each twin anti-aircraft heavy machine gun compartment is equipped with two 81mm mortars. Each combat platoon has eight armored vehicles, eight twin anti-aircraft heavy machine guns and 16 mortars. The rest of the soldiers were equipped with war horses, and they were naturally "heavy cavalry" - all Czech light machine guns, 12 per platoon, and 36 Czech light machine guns for the whole company!

After Hou Jinshan arrived here, he immediately transferred a platoon out and asked the deputy company commander to lead the rush to Wangshantun. The company commander led the other two platoons and went straight to Dongshan Village to hide.

To put it bluntly, Lan Caiqin put a company in the frontal blocking position on the front line of Tashan, and then used another machine gun company with strong mobile firepower to conceal it as a backfire point. There is only one main purpose: to annihilate the invading enemy!

Another side purpose is to capture as many of the imps' heavy weapons as possible, especially tanks and field artillery! The original Mukden Ordnance Factory was able to produce 105mm heavy guns, but Sanxiandong had no steel and could only produce shells.

As the core senior commander under Bai Shujie, Lan Caiqin knew the situation of the Rehe Front army well. What is most lacking and what is most needed, then what should be focused on, this is already a military rule for the commanders and fighters of the Rehe Front. As for what Bai Shujie likes and dislikes, Lan Caiqin knows it even more.

Bai Shujie's least favorite is the crooked-handle light machine gun (Taisho 11th style, 1922), followed by the 38th type rifle (Meiji 38 style, 1905). My favorite is the 92-type and 94-type 105mm field cannons, followed by the little devils' equipment in this period of 38 to 75mm field guns! It's a pity that the Type 94 and Type 95 artillery, the little devils themselves have not yet studied and finalized the type, let alone equip the troops.

If you just want to cripple two brigades of little devils, a single shell can solve the problem. The most important reason why Lan Caiqin personally went out was that according to the information already obtained by the reconnaissance company, the heavy weapons of each brigade of the enemy were an infantry artillery squadron and a field artillery squadron, which were respectively equipped with four 92 infantry guns and four 75mm field guns of the "38 Change".

The little devil's Type 38 75mm field gun, which is not young to say, began to equip the troops in 1905, with a maximum range of 8 kilometers. Later, after continuous improvement, the gun could reach a maximum elevation angle of 43 degrees, and the maximum firing range was increased to 11500m, and the life of the barrel was also extended a lot, which was quite powerful.

The weight of a single gun was 1135 kg (one ton), and it was pulled by two horses. The shells were 6.41 kg, mainly grenades and incendiary bombs, and of course gas bombs could also be fired.

Since the beginning of the defense of Fuxin, 48 such field guns have been captured. It was possible to form four field artillery battalions, and the reserves of shells produced were not small.

The reason why Bai Shujie is most interested in this kind of field artillery is because in a few years, when the little devil expands the army in large quantities, the production of this restructured 38-type 75mm field gun will be stopped because the cost is too high, and the little devil can't afford it.

Lan Caiqin ordered Hou Jinshan to make a covert sortie, naturally not to let them seize the little devil's artillery, but to cut off the connection between the infantry and artillery five kilometers in front of their position, so as to provide an opportunity for the reconnaissance company.

Once a woman has made up her mind to do something, it is likely to be in a state of madness. Lan Caiqin had already counted the little devil's four field guns and four tanks under his own name, so the entire combat deployment revolved around this purpose.

As for the little devil's naval detachment, Lan Caiqin thought it was no big deal. After all, she moved all the people of Jinxi and Suizhong, and the little devil had no way to find the signal source to guide the ship's artillery to bomb the target. Over-the-horizon bombing is carried out at a distance of 15 km, and unless the little devils carry out saturation coverage strikes, it is simply impossible to carry out targeted precision bombing.

But the little devil is an infantry brigade, and his own troops are mechanized artillery companies, which can slip away at any time. Even if you see a shell flying over, it's too late to start the car and escape! If the navy of the little devils really wants to fight to the death, so much the better. They killed their own infantry brigades and saved their own shells.

This is the difference between the front-line commander and the general headquarters, Bai Shujie is restless in his office, for fear that his troops will be bombarded by naval artillery and cause heavy casualties. Bai Shujie still remembers the two times of Shanghai's "128 Song Shanghai Anti-Japanese War", and the soldiers of the entire battalion and company were blown to pieces by the little devil's naval artillery!

But Lan Caiqin was on the front line, and her grasp of the situation was much more detailed than that of Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi, and there was not much anxiety and uneasiness in her heart at all. After the combat deployment was completed, she found the highest point and sat on the top of the Jade Emperor to watch the scenery!

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, the deputy company commander of the communications company ran to the main peak and said to Lan Caiqin: "Report to the division commander: The reconnaissance company has called, and the two Japanese brigades have set off separately, and the current marching speed is about four kilometers per hour. Among them, the Japanese army on the north route has crossed Zhaojiagou, and the Japanese army on the south road has crossed Gaofeng Village. ”

Lan Caiqin's face didn't change at all, but she said in a deep voice: "Call back: The Japanese troops on the North Road will send a telegram as soon as they arrive at Wangshantun and the Japanese troops on the South Road will arrive at Shangkanzi Village. Blue celery. ”

At about half past one in the afternoon, the reconnaissance company called again: "The Japanese troops on the North Road have arrived at Wangshantun and are concentrating for lunch. The Japanese army on the South Road is still about two kilometers away from Xiaokanzi Village, and they are accelerating forward! ”

Hearing this, Lan Caiqin stood up and shouted: "Deng Jinfa, order the Wolong Mountain Fortress to carry out a half-hour artillery bombardment of Wangshantun according to the original calibrated parameters, without extending firepower!" Order the Longquan Mountain Fortress to immediately open artillery and bombard the front line of Luojiatun and Dongqingbao for one hour! ”

"The communications company immediately sent a telegram to Hou Jinshan, and the troops interspersed after the shelling began. Be sure to use the fastest tactical moves to cut off the connection between the front and back of the enemy. Then attack from behind the enemy's infantry brigade and block the enemy's retreat! The reconnaissance company that was monitoring the enemy was ordered to take the artillery positions in the enemy's rear as soon as the shelling began, and then leave a platoon to continue to monitor the enemy in Jinzhou, and the large force was transferred to the northwest. ”

Lan Caiqin ordered, and in less than a minute, the first batch of cannonballs had already flown out from the Wolong Mountain Fortress in the southwest and the Longquan Mountain Fortress in the southeast, and the six cannonballs were divided into two groups, cutting through the sky and flying towards the southeast. The Type 92 105mm field cannon has a discharging speed of 765 meters per second, and it takes more than three minutes to fly 15 kilometers.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
