Chapter 98

: Still getting more excited

Unprepared for defense, the Japanese on the ship fell into the water under the strafing of large-caliber machine guns.

"Call for support again!" Hu Sanqi shouted. Under the flares, he had quickly seen the situation clearly. With his company, he would definitely not be able to attack like this.

"Haga! Go up!" Mio Nakajima shouted with a knife in one fell swoop. The soldiers around him also ran to the river to take the remaining boats and rowed over.

The engine of a patrol boat that the Japanese had not started also began to roar, and a 37mm cannon continued to bombard the shore.

"Mortar!" As Hu Sanqi shouted, ten 50mm Democratic mortars and three 80 guns opened fire together and focused on the patrol boat and fired.

Several water columns soared into the sky, a nearby boat overturned, and the patrol boat was also hit, but only the fire flashed, thick smoke was raised, but the artillery did not stop.

"Strike again!"

Another round of attack, the patrol boat that could not dodge had no good luck. Even though the mortar's long-range ammunition points were very scattered, another round was taken. This time, the drifting patrol boat no longer moved.

But more ships rowed up.

"The Japanese forced a crossing of the Yellow River in Lijiazui!" Shi Er woke up Meng Xiang who had just lying down with her clothes in time.

Meng Xiang shook his dizzy head, picked up his shoes, and headed straight to the command hall of the room next to him. As soon as he opened the door, Fan Zhong and others were still arranged to plan here yesterday.

Meng Xiang looked at the sand table and found Li Jiazui under the guidance of Mouse II.

"The terrain of this place is very open and the river is slow, which is conducive to landing. If it is a shelling, there is nowhere to hide on the gentle river bank, so it is not easy to defend here." Fan Zhong said, and he remembered the maps in his mind, and he casually told some of the situations there.

"Which team is nearby?"

"The seventh regiment who changed defense! His third company has already gone to defend. Other teams are also rushing towards that side."

"There won't be any other place, right? Or lure the tiger out of the mountain?"

"It's hard to say! However, according to the news sent from the front, this is definitely an important attack point for the Japanese."

"Why was discovered so quickly?" Isotani Ryosuke frowned. His plan had already taken into account many aspects, but only missed the important eyes and ears of the people.

"Speed ​​up the implementation of the plan," he ordered.

In the new command hall in Jinan, Meng Xiang sat aside without saying a word, just watching Fan Zong give orders issued after receiving his authorization. The military situation was urgent, and after his own delay, if it was delayed, it would be a bad thing. Meng Xiang did not pretend to understand. In this hall, except Fan Zong and Tang Yaoshi, they were all loyal cloned officers, and no one would make fun of him. He just kept memorizing and analyzing Fan Zong's every command, trying to learn something from it, and even if he couldn't learn it, he could open up his thinking.

"There are four attack points again!" Meng Xiang frowned when he saw four small black flags inserted on the sand table.

The Japanese have already noticed that there are fewer people in the vanguard army. Once several armies are separated, they are afraid that the defense will be weaker. If they are broken through by the Japanese, the impact will be extremely far-reaching.

"There must be a key point! Explore it again!" Fan Zhongtou did not raise his head and kept gesturing in front of a map on the table.

"Staff General Wei has sent a telegram to destroy three Japanese military supplies transfer sites. Now they are temporarily encircled and annihilated by the Japanese army, so it is not appropriate to attack again." Shi Er next to him held a secret wire report he had just received, and there were aerial photos and schematic maps of the three military supplies.

"The Japanese are still so crazy?" Meng Xiang took it, looked at it and laughed.

"There is a shortage of ammunition nearby, and they can't hold on for two days!" Fan Zhong also looked at it, and then said, "A fierce attack lasts for one day."

"The first and eighth regiments of the eastern defense line were called back, leaving only two companies to observe carefully, block sporadically, concentrate their forces to defend the three routes of the Central and Western countries!" After a moment, he raised his head and looked at Meng Xiang.

Meng Xiang blinked just a few times, but then smiled and nodded at him. He might not understand what Fan Zhong's move meant, but since he chose to authorize him to deal with it, he would be fine to hire people.

Seeing that the messenger had already sent the order, Fan Zong came over and explained: "The situation of the enemy was unclear, but it was definitely not a balanced attack of five routes. At most, three routes, or even two routes could attack according to their strength. The others were just a trick of confusion. The Japanese army was still Jinura. If they came from the east, our army would still have time to block the enemy or wait for reinforcements. The Japanese have been delayed for a while, and the military transport ground was bombed again. Some Japanese troops who couldn't wait would definitely choose the Chinese and Western routes, and they would even be more risky to attack the entire route."

"No matter how many ways he comes, I will fight him back." Meng Xiang said boldly. In the past few days, he has been desperately fighting for violence and equipment, and another new camp has been born.

The three new soldiers in the Jinan branch base can already produce new soldiers. The two new soldiers are also under construction. One soldier has 12 soldiers a day, and one company can come out one day.

He was the confidence to send troops so quickly.

The Japanese army had already focused on the direction of attack the day before yesterday, and the Japanese artillery fire was also slamming into the sky. They were constantly bombing the opposite positions, while the engineers were constantly nervously connecting to the floating bridge. A large number of personnel were usually transferred, and the location of the attack was not changed. Besides, this way was to attack.

"Two or one?" At the same time, Ryosuke Isotani was a little hesitant. His original plan was to interfere with three routes, and two routes focused on attacks! Among the two routes, one was a strong attack and the other was a sneak attack by Li Jiazui. But the 41st Division on the opposite side actually noticed it in advance, which caused his attacks that he planned to attack in Li Jiazui were constantly frustrated.

Only concentrated artillery can suppress the opponent and open up the situation. He did not separate the artillery, and even if it was mobilized, it would easily alarm the opponent. However, the crossing troops, which lacked the support of artillery, were facing the test of the opponent's dense firepower. Without the strong support of artillery, while the opponent's reinforcements continued to rush, more and more large-caliber heavy machine guns and several direct-fired 40mm air-proof cannons directly blocked the river surface. Even if a brigade crossing the river suffered serious losses, it did not cross the river.

"Under absolute strength, you can overwhelm all strategies!" This is what Kumamoto, the captain of his subordinates, said. He likes violent attacks and has never been favored by him. But sometimes, the direct attack is comparable to the strength of both sides.

"Li Jiazui lure the enemy to attack! Zhao Jia gathers all his strength to attack!" He finally adjusted his tactics. There was a problem with the ammunition supply in the rear, and it took time to adjust and supplement. The only thing needed at this time was time. The overwhelming attack of the army could prevent the battle from being delayed.

"The Japanese's attack has been strengthened!" Hu Minghe's years of battlefield experience told him that the Japanese's attack intensity has increased again.

"Oh! It's still not as many artillery as the Japanese!" He sighed again as the sound of artillery outside continued to roar.

"Just be content. You have more artillery in your regiment than in a brigade when you were in the Central Army. You also want to compete with the Japanese and divisions!" Huang Huamin cursed with a smile.

"I just listened to the artillery being bombarded constantly, and I felt that our infantry was almost redundant!" Hu Minghe complained.

"Boom!" Another loud bang.

"Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly! This is a heavy artillery. Evacuate quickly!" Suzuki Avant-garde shouted anxiously. The shell just now was very close to the artillery position, and the loud noise made his ears buzz. He only saw the terrified faces of the soldiers around him, and the sounds shouting from their mouths had already rolled into the sky with the rising dust.

"Boom!" Another loud noise. An infantry gun scattered into four or five parts and flew into the air. A black muzzle hit the sky and hit a soldier who was dodging with his head in his arms. He immediately saw the purple-green color of his intestines being squeezed out.

"Boom! Boom!" The continuous sounds made Suzuki's heart sank. The continuous roars at least showed that the opponent had many heavy artillery. There were at least eight gates, and each gate had a caliber of at least 150 mm.

The 75 artillery counterattack from the previous two days confused them. Unexpectedly, the Pioneer Army actually had heavy artillery.

"Boom!" With a shocking sound, Suzuki fell to the ground all of a sudden. Looking at the rising cloud pillars of the sky rising not far away, he knew that it was ammunition that had exploded, and he couldn't help but say sadly: "**The field artillery corps is over!"

Behind the outside position, Kong Ci was happily directing ten 150mm De K16 cannons to continuously fire at the opposite place where the artillery fire was concentrated.

"It's still a pleasure to get heavy artillery!"

Meng Xiang, who was angry by the Japanese artillery fire, produced ten large-caliber cannons in the past two days. The k16 during World War I was much cheaper and more affordable than the k18, and this god of death, which once made countless opponents terrifying during World War I, was not reduced at all. Although it was bulky and inconvenient to transport, it was very suitable for defense. As long as there was no plane bombing, these heavy artillery were the kings on the battlefield.
