Chapter 259 New Battle Plan!
Brigade commander Ueno Kanichiro couldn't help but frown and look at captain Kuranaga Tatsuji:
The sarcasm, ridicule, and contempt in his eyes were undisguised.
"With such an obvious target, any commander would ask the artillery to kill him immediately.
What's more, at that time, the commander of the regiment also had the third field artillery regiment to command.
From those two cannons we can see the incompetence of this regiment leader."
Although the thoughts in his heart were not spoken out loud, they were revealed through his eyes.
What else can Commander Kuragatatsuji say?
Failed! This is its greatest incompetence.
No matter what I said or explained at this time, no one believed me.
At this time, Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji suddenly hoped that the defenders on the fort would be stronger.
Let's teach this arrogant brigade commander a lesson and prove that it's not that he is incompetent, but that the defenders are really too strong.
This idea suddenly appeared, and Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji himself was shocked.
"This is betrayal of the country! This is betrayal of the imperial army. How could I have such an idea?" Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji quickly stopped this idea.
However, this idea took root in his mind from the moment it appeared, and it never surfaced again.
What do you think of this regiment commander who personally destroyed an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment?
The commander of Kanichiro Ueno's brigade didn't pay attention at all. He pointed at the fort in front and ordered:
"Oda-kun! Immediately organize artillery to bombard the artillery positions above the fort.
At the same time launch an attack on the fort."
It had received news that the Sakai Taiga Infantry Brigade had been wiped out, and it was eager to open this passage.
"Hai!" Captain Odagiriki stood at attention and nodded.
Accept the task and set it up immediately.
There is a mortar squadron and an infantry artillery squadron in this wing. Now it is for these two squadrons to find positions to bomb targets on the top of the mountain.
As for the offense?
Captain Odagirishu directly ordered Kimura Rei's brigade to send a squadron to conduct a tentative attack.
Squadron Leader Aoi Nakai commanded more than 130 Japanese soldiers to begin the attack. His squadron had already lost many men during the retreat.
The morale to start the attack is not strong now, but this is just a tentative attack.
Just find out where the Chinese army's firepower is.
When the Japanese soldiers looked at Wusongkou Fort, the national soldiers on the fort were also looking at these Japanese soldiers.
Captain Gu asked Wei Mingyang: "Barracks! There are a lot of Japanese here this time!"
"That's a lot! But these are all cannon fodder!" Wei Mingyang said with a smile.
He turned back to Zhang Peiqing and said: "With the cannon in hand, I have the world!"
The Japanese no longer have heavy artillery, so attacking a defensive line such as a fort is a mistake in itself.
Although our team has fought twice in a row, the victory has boosted their morale.
At this time, morale is high and military morale is at its peak.
These devils are finished!"
"Yingzuo is right!" Zhang Peiqing now had no choice but to believe Wei Mingyang's words.
In addition to being a bit ruthless in training, this camp has never made any mistakes in its judgment of the battlefield situation.
With his ability to hit the target with perfect accuracy, even though there are many people in this group of devils, it is really impossible for them to pass through here.
At least until the shells are fired, it will be impossible for the Japanese to get through here.
Captain Liu also saw the dark Japanese troops in the distance, and felt a little frightened.
Seeing a squadron of Japanese soldiers rushing towards the third company's defense line, he was still a little nervous.
At this time the cannon on the top of the mountain fired.
Wei Mingyang did not wait. From his point of view, he could already see that there were Japanese soldiers everywhere in the distance, and there were piles and piles of dark Japanese soldiers.
He ordered: "Infantry artillery, tank artillery, howitzers! All of them, target: Japanese infantry in front! Fire!"
Before the infantry squadron of Nakai Aoi entered the offensive position, they heard continuous explosions coming from behind.
"Boom! Boom!"
The commander of the brigade Kanichiro Ueno, who was farther away, saw through the telescope: countless lines of fire flying out from the fort.
There are not two cannons on the fort at all, but maybe twenty cannons or more.
The sudden bombing panicked the Japanese who were completely unprepared.
They have been hit hard enough today. It started at ten o'clock and it is already three o'clock in the afternoon.
They were bombed by artillery when they were in the area of Zhaizao Bin and Yangxing. After escaping hastily, they were able to live peacefully for a while.
Now it's been bombed again!
Brigade commander Kanichiro Ueno looked at the team that had been blown away and was running away, and gave Captain Tatsuji Kuranaga a vicious look.
I thought to myself: "It's all you who destroyed the artillery regiment. Otherwise, there would have been an artillery regiment that could counter-bomb the attack at this time."
But now, it can only place its hopes on the mortar squadron and the infantry artillery squadron.
Fortunately, the two artillery squadrons did not disappoint, and finally fired at this time.
The scene that happened next made him understand the mood of captain Tatsuji Kuranaga at once.
As soon as the two artillery squadrons fired a round of artillery shells, the area where they were located was subjected to fierce counterattack.
The artillery shells that had just been scattered to bombard the infantry suddenly gathered together, and they were all directed at the artillery positions.
After two rounds of intensive artillery bombardment, it stopped.
Just these two rounds of bombing have destroyed the artillery of this regiment.
Wei Mingyang also used a telescope to inspect the battlefield and found that the Japanese in the distance had fled in all directions.
The intensive artillery bombardment had little effect.
Then the order was given: "Stop the artillery bombardment!"
Captain Kimura Rei looked at Captain Aoi Nakai who had fled back in embarrassment. He strode forward and slapped her loudly:
"Ba Ge! Let you attack! Not let you escape!"
"Hai!" Squadron Leader Nakai Aoi shouted after being slapped.
As if this would make the slap on the face less painful.
It received more than a dozen slaps, both positive and negative. Perhaps Captain Kimura Ling's palms hurt from the slaps, so he stopped.
The grievances in Captain Nakai Kui's heart flowed backwards: It wasn't that it wanted to escape, but there was really no other way.
Before the squadron entered the attack position, there was the sound of intensive shell explosions from behind.
This has nothing to do with an offensive team like it.
Squadron Leader Aoi Nakai was still giving orders: "Speed up!"
Just as its command was given "Boom!"
The artillery shells exploded right in the middle of the squadron. After three consecutive shells, there was no Japanese left standing in the squadron.
When the bombing was over, Squadron Leader Aoi Nakai cleaned up the team: There were still thirty-seven uninjured Japanese in the entire brigade, and forty-six wounded. The rest of the Japanese were all killed by three shells.
Chapter completed!
