Right under the eyes of the devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold.
Seeing that the devils and puppet troops who went out were wiped out in less than 5 minutes, the more than 20 devils and more than 60 puppet troops who stayed in the stronghold suddenly fell silent.
……
A stronghold near Lijia Town.
"Pfft!" Wang Huaibao drew the bayonet from the devil.
When I looked around again, I saw that the battle in the stronghold had all ended.
The whole battle was not as difficult as imagined, but it was not as easy as imagined. With the infantry artillery, the independent regiment can already fight a tough battle under the premise of occupying absolute strength and firepower superiority.
He raised his wrist and glanced at the luminous watch, the hour hand just pointed to two o'clock in the morning.
The entire battle only took two hours, enough time before dawn to unplug another stronghold of the devils.
Immediately, Wang Huaibao yelled sharply: "Give me an order to leave a militia squad to clean up the battlefield, and other personnel must gather urgently! Urgently assemble!"
However, as soon as the words fell, a voice came from the stronghold.
Wang Huaibao scolded: "Full tank, why are you howling like a dog? Scared me!"
"Battalion Commander Wang! Battalion Commander Wang!" Liu Mantan continued to howl, with a cry in his voice, and he didn't know whether it was because of sadness or excitement.
Wang Huaibao walked over with a dark face.
I saw Liu Mantang kneeling there, crying and laughing.
Wang Huaibao kicked Liu Mantang's ass with one kick, kicked him like a dog, and cursed, "Still howling, howling, believe it or not, I will kick you to death!"
"Battalion Commander Wang!" Liu Mangang didn't care, and shouted excitedly, "Cannon! Italian Cannon!"
"What Italian cannon?" Before Wang Huaibao finished speaking, he saw a cannon hidden in the shadows. Is there really a cannon hidden here?How is this going?
There is actually a cannon in the devil's stronghold?
But just now, why didn't the devils fire?
How did Wang Huaibao know that just now when Liu Mangang's first infantry fired shells, the artillery unit in the stronghold was collectively reimbursed, because the devil's artillery position was under the artillery tower, and the ruins of the collapsed artillery tower directly wiped out the entire artillery unit. Buried alive or stunned.
When the stunned artillerymen woke up and wanted to fire, the Eighth Route Army had already broken into the stronghold, and both sides had already engaged in hand-to-hand combat, so the artillerymen had no choice but to grab rifles or pistols and engage in close combat with the Eighth Route Army. The antique Italian cannons became decorations.
It's really an antique.
The so-called Italian cannon is actually the M1897 75mm field howitzer made in France. It belongs to the old antique half a century ago, because the Italian army is equipped with a large number of this type of artillery. The Fiat fighter is the same batch.
Mrs. Chang bought them from Italy at a high price.
These Italian guns were first equipped to the national army and then captured by the Japanese army.
Now that it is back in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner to a certain extent, that is, Liu Mangang, an old hat who can't understand the foreign codes on the cannon, treats this antique half a century ago as a treasure. A baby bump.
Wang Huaibao also couldn't understand Italian, so he also regarded this old antique as a treasure.
"Quickly, quickly, look for shells!" Wang Huaibao said excitedly, "Look for shells!"
Dozens of militiamen immediately dispersed to rummage around, and several militiamen even started to pick up the ruins.
Wang Huaibao also began to think in his heart that if he could find the shells, he would have two cannons, and it was a field howitzer with a larger caliber than the [-] Infantry Cannon, and it would definitely be more lethal.
In this way, his attacking ability will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Then before dawn, maybe there is a chance to unplug the two strongholds!
Just as Wang Huaibao was looking forward to it, a militiaman suddenly shouted: "I found it! I found it!"
Wang Huaibao immediately rushed forward, only to see a dozen wooden boxes stacked inside a tent.
"Quick, pry open the boxes!" Wang Huaibao gave an order, and the two militiamen hurriedly opened the two boxes with bayonets, only to find that they were two empty boxes.
"Grass, empty?!"
Wang Huaibao immediately cursed.
Needless to say, the Devil Artillery must have sold the shells.
Hanging around with puppet translators all day long, the devil's combat troops are deteriorating at an alarming rate, and secretly selling ammunition and even weapons has become a common phenomenon.
The militia then proceeded to pry open the box below.
Not bad, the bottom box is full.
Thirteen boxes, it stands to reason that there should be 26 shells.
There were actually only seventeen shells, nine of which were sold.
Chapter 389 Li Yunlong is very happy
Kamekawa Kiyoshi was awakened by the nightmare.
Looking up at the wall clock on the wall, the time is almost pointing to two o'clock in the morning.
Just when Kiyoshi Kamekawa was hesitating whether to sleep again, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, followed by the shout of Igarashimi, the head of the communications section.
"Chief of Staff? Chief of Staff!"
Gui Chuanqing hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
"Igarashi-kun, what's going on?"
Kiyoshi Kamekawa pushed the door out and asked while buttoning his clothes.
"Telephone line failure!" Igarashi said in a deep voice, "The telephone line in the Fuliang bandit area has a large area of failure, and almost all strongholds are unable to make calls!"
"Nani?" Kamekawa Kiyoshi's face collapsed.
Immediately, the two hurried to the communication class of the division headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" The operator stood up and said, "The telephone line is still disconnected!"
"Baga!" Kiyoshi Kamekawa asked Igarashi with a dark face, "Have the telephone maintenance personnel been dispatched?"
"Hayi, three groups of telephone maintenance personnel have been dispatched successively." Igarashi Meiton said first, "But until now, no group of telephone maintenance personnel has returned."
"Damn, something must have happened."
Kiyoshi Kamekawa said bitterly: "There is no need to send overhaul soldiers."
Igarashi said again: "Chief of Staff, do you want to send an army to reinforce?"
"Reinforcement?" Kamekawa said coldly, "Which base will be reinforced? Now I don't know which base has a problem. How to reinforce it? Let the reinforcements find it all the way?"
Igarashi was speechless when she heard the words.
"Wait for dawn." Kiyokawa said calmly.
"Right now, it's a mess, and the situation is unclear."
"Maybe it's easy to be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army for help."
"Let's call for aviation support after dawn."
"It's not too late to decide on the next move after we figure out the situation."
"Hayi!" Igarashi paused, and asked again, "Do you want to report this to the head of the division?"
"Of course." Gui Chuanqing said without hesitation, "Anything that happens in the Fuliang bandit area, no matter how big or small, must be reported to the division commander truthfully and in a timely manner."
"Hay!"
……
Miyano Michiichi dozed off and was awakened by a sudden explosion.
After getting up in shock, I realized that this was the engineering brigade blasting.
In the past few days, the engineering brigade has been blasting the surface positions of the Fuliangshan Fortress day and night.
Here, Miyano Michiichi adopted fatigue tactics, and he could actually see that the Eighth Route Army hiding in the Fuliangshan Fortress had no more than a few hundred people, and the most elite special forces had only a few dozen people.
He didn't believe that all these dozens of special forces were made of fine steel.
Under prolonged continuous combat, no matter how elite soldiers are, they will be dragged down.
So Miyano Michiichi gave the engineering brigade a death order to let them fight continuously.
Facts have proved that the effect of doing so is still good. The Eighth Route Army really can't stand it anymore. Since last night, the special forces of the Eighth Route Army have stopped coming out to obstruct the blasting of the engineering troops.
From the looks of it, the Eighth Route Army seems to be preparing to lay down.
He raised his wrist and looked at the luminous watch. It was already 02:30 in the morning.
Miyano Michiichi simply didn't sleep anymore, got up in cloak and came to the forward observation post.
Although it was night, more than a dozen high-power searchlights on the Japanese army's position still illuminated the surface position on the east side of Fuliang Mountain as bright as day, and the beehives were clearly visible.
However, the bottom half of the hive has been destroyed.
The blasting of the engineers has advanced to the halfway up the mountain.
And the more you go up, the fewer the number of hives, and the progress should be faster.
According to the current progress, all the hives on the Fuliang mountain slope will be destroyed by tomorrow evening.
With the help of the artillery mirror, Miyano Michiichi could clearly see that more than a dozen teams of engineers were carrying yellow explosives in and out of more than a dozen "hives" at the same time.
If it was before last night, the work of the engineers would never have been so smooth.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army will definitely rush out from the tunnel inside the "Honeycomb" to obstruct it, and sometimes even snatch the yellow explosives.
But now, the Eighth Route Army seems to have given up.
Let the engineers of the imperial army bury explosives in the hives, and then blast them, blowing up the hives one after another, and filling up the exits of the tunnels one after another.
To be honest, this is really a stupid method.
In fact, the most efficient way is to dig a tunnel down to the depths of Fuliang Mountain, and then plant enough explosives to directly blast the entire Fuliang Mountain from the middle. In this way, the entire fortress can be destroyed at once, and the hidden The Eighth Route Army in the fortress was buried forever, and the Eighth Route Army had no chance to escape.
Unfortunately, the bottom of Fuliang Mountain is a hard granite layer.
It doesn't make much sense if you dig in against the granite surface.
Not to mention that it is easy to be detected by the Eighth Route Army's monitoring at this depth, and it is impossible to find a suitable bombing point that can blow up the entire Fuliang Mountain in one go.
Footsteps sounded from behind.
Looking back, it was Jiro Onoda.
"Division commander!" Onoda Jiro bowed his head in greeting.
Miyano Michiichi waved his hand and asked, "Onoda-kun, is it your turn to be on duty tonight?"
In order to protect the engineering troops and prevent the Eighth Route Army from turning around behind the engineers from other directions, in addition to a dozen high-power searchlights illuminating the positions on the surface of Fuliang Mountain, snipers are also on duty at the defensive positions opposite. If you come out, you will be shot by snipers immediately.
In addition to snipers, there are more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns.
The security measures of the Japanese army were still very strict.
Onoda Jiro said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, don't you think it's strange that the Eighth Route Army has given up attacking our engineering troops since nightfall last night?"
"It doesn't seem strange." Miyano said, "After all, their strength is limited, and they will always feel tired under high-intensity battles, so they must also need to rest."
"It's not like there's not even a little bit of counterattack."
Onoda Jiro frowned and said, "I always feel that the Eighth Route Army is secretly brewing some kind of conspiracy."
"Conspiracy?" Miyano Michiichi shuddered, but remained calm on the surface, "What conspiracy?"
"I don't know." Onoda Jiro shook his head and said, "I just think things shouldn't be so simple."
While talking, hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and then a messenger hurried in.
"Division Commander." The communications soldier reported with a sudden pause, "Division Headquarters calls urgently!"
As soon as Miyano Michi received the telegram, his face sank slightly after reading it.
"Division commander." Onoda Jiro asked, "What's the situation?"
Miyano Michiichi didn't speak, just handed over the telegram.
After Jiro Onoda read the telegram, his face changed drastically.
"Nani? All the phone lines in the Fuliang bandit area are down?"
Onoda Jiro lost his voice and said: "Division commander, it seems that my judgment just now is correct. The matter is really not that simple. The Eighth Route Army is indeed secretly brewing a conspiracy!"
