Chapter 42 The Pudong Cannon (Part 2)

In Pudong, the front-line observation post located on the former site of the East Fort was also alarmed by Japanese flares.

After the flares were launched, one after another were the volley of the Japanese Navy's large-caliber naval guns!

Ye Ruxue, a reporter from Miller's Commentary, who had just lie on a stone and took a nap, was also awakened by the loud explosion. She stood up and asked Sun Shengzhi in a daze, "Battleman Commander Sun, what happened?"

"I don't know." Sun Shengzhi raised his head from behind the cannon mirror and shook his head straightforwardly.

Ye Ruxue rubbed her shoulders, which were slightly sore and asked, "Do you want to call Company Commander Liu?"

"No!" Although the beauty was present, Sun Shengzhi flatly refused. The command post could not call the front-line observation post. This was a lesson from the artillery's blood. The observation post set up on the top of Jesus Cathedral a few days ago was because the sudden phone ringtone at night exposed its location, and was taken away by Japanese agents.

Sun Shengzhi was actually more anxious than anyone else. He knew better than anyone else that the front-line observation posts set up by Liu Genshuo on the top of the fortress were mostly discovered by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's artillery bombardment was mostly directed at him. He wanted to talk to Liu Genshuo and ordered Liu Genshuo to transfer immediately, but he did not dare to call the other side rashly.

If Liu Genshuo is ready to transfer, if a call passes at this time and Liu Genshuo goes back to answer the phone, the delay for a moment may have cost him his life.

He didn't dare to call, so Sun Shengzhi could only wait in Jianao.

Fortunately, Sun Shengzhi's waiting did not last long, and the phone rang quickly.

When Sun Shengzhi was about to order Liu Genshuo to transfer, Liu Genshuo on the other end of the phone shouted like a cannon at a faster speed: "Each cannon platoon, each cannon platoon has a wind speed of four meters, the wind is southeast and eastward. The shooting angle is adjusted to four scales on the left, and the bounce point extends forward for 800 meters, and a test shot is shot!"

When Sun Shengzhi spitted something to his mouth, he was forced to hold it back into his stomach.

After a while, the only four Bufus Mountain cannons in the 1st Company of the Cannon were adjusted to shoot the world. Then, a shell was dragged into the air with a dazzling tracer and flew over the wide Huangpu River toward the cannon Taiwan.

"It's wrong. The shooting angle is right and the bounce point extends fifty meters. Two shots are tested!" After ten seconds, Liu Genshuo's roar came from the other end of the phone. After a while, the two shots of the National Army artillery that shot the Yuan Dynasty were re-switching, and another shell dragged the long tail flames across the night sky and flew to the opposite shore.

"I hit it, the shooting elements are locked, ten rapid shots! Ten rapid shots!"

It was not until this time that Sun Shengzhi finally inserted his words and shouted at the microphone: "Liu Genshuo, what's your name? Transfer it immediately, transfer it immediately..."

"Battleman, I discovered the little Japanese artillery position! The little Japanese artillery is going to be finished, haha, hahaha..."

Listening to the unscrupulous laughter transmitted from the microphone, Sun Shengzhi even stood up on his back. He knew what it meant to stay on the Fort Mountain at this time. Liu Genshuo, this stupid boy, was fighting with the little Japanese, and he was exchanging his life for the little Japanese artillery!

At that moment, Sun Shengzhi shouted at the microphone again: "I order you to transfer immediately, transfer immediately, Liu Genshuo, please listen to me, come back alive, no matter what, you must come back alive..."

Then there was a bang on the other end of the microphone, and Liu Genshuo's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Liu Genshuo? Liu Genshuo! Liu Genshuo?!" Sun Shengzhi shouted a few times in a row, but there was no response from the other end.

Sun Shengzhi still didn't give up and continued to shout at the microphone, as if she was expecting a miracle to happen, and looking forward to the familiar voice that suddenly sounded again. Ye Ruxue on the side was already crying. The battle interviews for several days had already made her deeply appreciate the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and how many living lives had disappeared like this?

The two observation sentries in the East Fort observation post also stood up silently, took off their helmets and raised them in front of their chests, and bowed deeply to the west bank of the Huangpu River side by side: Company Commander, you can walk all the way, we will take over you and continue to act as the eyes of Pudong artillery. The artillery fire of the Pudong God Cannon will still fall on the heads of the Japanese as if they had eyes.

#############

The violent explosion made Ohara Shigemi's eyes red, as if two balls of fire were burning inside.

Looking at the huge mushroom clouds rising from the artillery position, Ohara Shigemi almost had the desire to kill.

I wanted to destroy the frontier observation post of the National Artillery on the Fortress Mountain in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the location of our artillery was exposed, so that the frontier observation post of the National Army guided artillery fire to attack our artillery. The sudden attack of the National Artillery was still very accurate. I am afraid that the six seven-five mountain cannons from the artillery squadron directly under the Weiyuan Brigade were difficult to escape.

"Bageyara, Bageyara." Ohara Shigemi stared at her blood-red eyes and roared.

Captain Fujimoto and the more than a dozen orderly soldiers in the brigade headquarters were also stunned. They were all a little embarrassed. They could not accept this fact. It was already surprising that the Chinese artillery dared to engage in artillery battles with the Imperial Army artillery. The Imperial Army artillery actually lost to the Chinese artillery. How is this possible? How is this possible?!

After taking a deep breath of salty, fishy, ​​damp and bloody air, Ohara Shigemi finally suppressed the turbulent anger in her chest. The artillery squadron was destroyed by Chinese artillery, which was irreversible. Due to the terrain, the support provided by naval naval guns was limited, and the time limit given by General Matsui was that he had to control the artillery Taiwan before dawn.

Looking at the watch, the hour hand is just pointing to the early morning of the 21st, about five hours before dawn.

The Ohara brigade first lost the chariot squadron, and then the artillery squadron. The naval naval guns were not helpful. Due to the tenacity shown by the Chinese army yesterday during the day and in the first half of the night, the Ohara brigade was extremely difficult to seize the artillery before dawn. Thinking of this, Ohara Shigemi felt nervous.

Nowadays, the only thing Ohara brigade can rely on is the spirit of Bushido!

In a word, even if the entire special operations brigade was fought, he would definitely seize the artillery Taiwan and clear the obstacles for the 3rd Division and even the Shanghai-sponsored condemnation army. At that moment, Ohara Shigemi turned his head and ordered the deputy captain Fujimoto Captain: "Fujimoto, order the Maehara Squadron to withdraw the base, and then let Maehara, Murayama, Noguchi and Takeda to come to my headquarters!"

"Hayi!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly lowered his head and hurriedly ran over to make a phone call.

#############

The leopard and the old man carried a blood man down from the Fort Mountain. Only then did the remaining soldiers of the 61st Division realize that the "blood man" was the one who guided the Pudong artillery to destroy the Japanese artillery positions just now!

The Wusong Security Team is considered disabled, and two of them survived after about two hundred people.

Immediately, two remaining soldiers came out to help carry the stretcher together.

The bloody stretcher was carried over from the trenches, and a hundred remaining soldiers stood up one after another, took off their military caps or helmets from their heads and bowed to the bloody people on the stretcher in silence. This was the most noble salute in the army, and it was also the last farewell to the dead of the battle. Obviously, the remaining soldiers believed that the bloody people on the stretcher had sacrificed their lives for the country.

"Wait!" When the stretcher passed in front of Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu stopped him.

With the help of the lights scattered from the Japanese position opposite, Xu Shijiu seemed to see the blood man on the stretcher moving, and a very faint voice could be heard in his ears!

The artillery soldier on the stretcher was not dead yet. What was he talking about?

Xu Shijiu rushed to the stretcher two steps before, and then pressed his ear tightly against the blood man's mouth. This time he finally heard it clearly. The dying artilleryman repeatedly recited a word in his mouth, flag language! flag language! At the same time, the artilleryman's fingers moved slightly, and his right index finger, which could no longer be stretched, pointed faintly at his chest.

Following the direction of the artillery finger, Xu Shijiu took out two colorful flags from his chest.

Xu Shijiu easily understood what he meant. He was reminding himself to send people to the Fortress Mountain to sing flags and guide the Pudong artillery to continue shelling the Japanese army!

The tears in Xu Shijiu's eyes fell down. Chinese artillery, this is the Chinese artillery. Until the last moment before they died in battle, they were still thinking about how to kill the enemy!

Brother artillery, if you don’t abandon me, I will never abandon you!

Xu Shijiu said to the leopard with tears in his eyes: "Captain Hai, please send him back to Wusong Town no matter what. Please ask the military doctors in Wusong Town to rescue this artillery brother no matter what!"

The leopard turned his head and looked at Xu Shijiu, unable to believe his ears.

As a bandit who had been robbing the house for many years, the leopard said that he was also a person who was not afraid of death. However, today, he was shocked by the brothers of the Central Army. I will not talk about the two vanguards who bombed the Japanese tank yesterday. He died so heroically that he had not shed tears for many years.

The Central Army artillery lying on the stretcher is also a good example. In order to destroy the Japanese artillery, he was willing to spend his life in it!

But after all, it was a soldier. It was Xu Shijiu, the "official" who really surprised the leopard!

The leopard knew very well what the situation had reached in the Fort Mount. Perhaps the Japanese army would be able to break through the national defense line with the next assault, but the reinforcements would not know when they would arrive. At this time, Xu Shijiu ordered him to escort the stretcher to Wusong Town, giving him the chance to live, but leaving death to himself!

"Captain Xu, I..." The leopard opened his mouth and said nothing.

Xu Shijiu smiled and said, "Also, I'll send us a message to the fellow villagers in Guangdong."

The leopard was at a loss, but Xu Shijiu turned around and walked towards the remaining soldiers of the 61st Division standing in line.

He patted the remnant soldier on the shoulder and helped the remnant soldier straightened his clothes. It was not until he took more than ten steps that Xu Shijiu suddenly turned around, smiled at the leopard, and said, "Captain Hai, please tell the fellow villagers in Guangdong that our 19th Route Army is not a rebel, we... are also soldiers of the Chinese people!"

The nineteenth Route Army? The nineteenth Route Army?! The eyes of the remaining soldiers suddenly lit up.

The four words of the 19th Route Army seemed to have some magic power, which made the originally depressed soldiers suddenly become energetic. Once upon a time, they were proud of these four words, but later, these four words became a taboo. Everyone buried it in their hearts, but they never dared to mention it to others.
