Chapter 434 The Siege Begins
"General Yuan, good news! Good news! The damn Yamazaki Brigade hasn't even taken over the county yet!"
Fu Hongfei ran here, his excited face full of smiles.
"Well! The New Sixth Army really didn't let me down. Notify them and prepare for battle. I'm ready to open fire!"
"Open fire now, I can't wait any longer!"
"Then why are you still here? Go to your position and command your team!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll hurry over, you fire slowly, wait until I'm in position before you fire!"
Fu Hongfei ran back quickly.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
Yuan Shuai continued to calculate the coordinates, while Monkey gave instructions to Fu Hongfei personally from behind.
"Don't worry, I'm steady...Ah! Damn, the road is so slippery!"
Before Fu Hongfei could finish his words, he fell down. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed, then quickly got up and continued to run towards his position.
After Yuan Shuai dealt with all the shooting elements, he tore off the paper and gave it to the fat monkey Hu Dacai.
They have 36 infantry guns and 40 mortars here.
All artillery is concentrated here.
Therefore, General Yuan organized six infantry guns into one unit and five mortars into one unit, and made precise calculations on the targets of each unit.
Monkey and Fatty Hu Dacai each took a piece of paper and distributed it to the person in charge of each unit. Then each person in charge quickly made adjustments according to the coordinates.
Soon, it was two o'clock in the evening.
At General Yuan's command, all infantry artillery and mortars opened fire.
76 shells whizzed through the air.
The sight of the flames flying in the air filled the faces of all the Japanese sentries and patrolmen with horror.
"Bagayalu! There are shells, take cover!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, 76 artillery shells fell on the Japanese camp.
Some shells exploded here at the Japanese infantry tents, and some shells exploded in the light and heavy machine gun positions around the Japanese.
Some shells exploded here in the Japanese artillery tent.
Some shells exploded at the location of the Japanese baggage train camp.
The whole camp was filled with smoke from the exploding shells.
Only the wing headquarters was not bombarded by artillery shells.
Shrapnel mixed with sand and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers flew everywhere.
Many wounded Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground in the destroyed tents, wailing in pain.
After being awakened, the captain rushed out of the tent wearing his clothes.
After the first round of artillery bombardment, Yuan Shuai did not immediately fire the second round of artillery shells.
But the infantry had already launched a mad charge.
The roar of Chinese soldiers could be heard all around.
Although Yuan Shuai's charge basically does not make people roar.
But this time, Yuan Shuai said that after the first round of artillery shells, everyone roared, using the shouts of killing to scare the Japanese into submission.
Sure enough, the Japanese soldiers were pale and sweating profusely under the roars from all directions.
"Report, we are surrounded!"
"Report, the enemy just fired artillery shells and our army suffered heavy casualties!"
"Report, there must be a large number of Kuomintang troops around us, let's break out quickly!"
"Bagayalu, Bagayalu!"
The Japanese regiment commander roared loudly in anger.
The violent explosion just now left many flames all over his camp.
In the firelight, there were corpses and wounded of the devils everywhere.
With such heavy artillery fire, at least an artillery brigade must have arrived.
"Bakayaro, hold on, hold on, signalman, contact the Yamazaki Brigade and the Tianya Detachment immediately, and provide quick support!"
"Hayi!"
The Japanese signalman quickly used the radio to make contact.
The reason why General Yuan had to readjust the shooting parameters was because the previous artillery had already marked the Japanese regiment headquarters.
If they concentrated their artillery fire on the Japanese regiment headquarters, their 76 artillery shells would be enough to cover the entire Japanese regiment headquarters and destroy every last bit of the Japanese.
But in this way, the Japanese will not send out a distress signal.
The Japanese in front and behind will not come to support quickly.
And now, Yuan Shuai has set up minefields in front and behind.
Even the Yamazaki Brigade in front failed to take the county town.
He just wanted the Japanese to send a signal so that the Yamazaki Brigade would come to support quickly, so that it would be convenient for the national army in the county to leave the city and attack Yamazaki from behind.
Sure enough, the Tiangu Detachment behind heard the sound of artillery shells from a long distance away, and many Japanese soldiers were looking at the red night sky in the distance that was illuminated by the artillery fire.
The Japanese signalman received the news and quickly notified Captain Tian Gu.
"Damn it! An artillery brigade is attacking our baggage train!"
"Bakayalu, immediately notify the tank troops to advance quickly! Other troops to follow quickly! Quick, quick!"
After all, at this time, they needed speed, and among their team, the speed of tanks was the fastest on the road.
Moreover, the tank is equipped with a tank gun and a vehicle-mounted machine gun, which can provide artillery support and vehicle-mounted machine gun support in the first place.
His 75mm field gun and 105mm gun were also mounted on carriages and followed the team.
The brothers who were hiding beside the river in front were lying on the hillside. When they saw the Japanese tanks turn on their headlights and coming towards them quickly, all the brothers became excited at once.
"Don't sleep, the devils are coming, the devils are coming!"
"Go and get ready!"
Several sentries quickly ran down the mountain and notified the brothers who were sleeping on the road to get up and get ready.
Wait until the Japanese tank troops pass by the road by the river.
The five brothers immediately braked the detonator.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the five detonators and the wiring.
Dozens of explosive packs exploded on the road.
The entire road along the river was blown to pieces.
Many places were directly blown off.
All the tanks and Japanese infantry on the road fell into the river.
The Japanese soldiers behind were so frightened that they quickly stopped and patted their chests as they stared at the destroyed road in front of them.
The news reached Captain Tiangu.
The captain was so angry that his face turned blue and veins on his forehead bulged.
He never imagined that the National Army had laid mines in this place, causing all twelve tanks to fall into the river.
He rushed to the scene with his men, looked at the bombed road and the rushing river at the foot of the mountain, and cursed in anger.
"Bakayaloo, Bakayaloo, damned Chinese, I will kill you all!"
"Notify the team to go up the mountain and around!"
But who knew that just when their team had just climbed over the ridge, they triggered a booby trap and stepped on a landmine.
Many Japanese soldiers were killed or injured in the explosion.
The Japanese soldiers had to withdraw from the mountain.
Looking at the flames exploding on the mountain and the soldiers falling in the flames.
Captain Tian Gu was so angry that he threw his hat to the ground.
"Bakayaloo! Damn it! The damn Chinese actually planted mines on the mountain!"
"Report, the Chinese have buried a lot of booby traps and mines on the mountain, and our troops have suffered heavy casualties!"
"Baka, detour, I don't believe they will plant mines on all the mountains, detour, detour again!"
Captain Tian Gu had no other choice.
The baggage train must be rescued! If it is lost, the Yamazaki Brigade will be doomed without ammunition and food supplies.
Because Captain Tanaya and Brigade Commander Yamazaki were very good classmates and even cousins.
