I am a wolf warrior

Speaking of this meal, he added: "You will know how powerful the Eighth Route Army is later."

After a while, continuous screams came from the sky above.

When I looked up quickly, I saw streamers of light streaking across the dim sky, and then falling towards the Japanese camp two kilometers away.

In the next instant, clusters of dazzling red lights rose from the Japanese camp.

Indistinctly, one after another, Japanese soldiers could be seen being blown to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the degree feels extremely comfortable.

……

Tadanobu Maeda was also caught off guard.

When the first shell fell, Tadanobu Maeda was having a meeting with several regiment captains. Because the shell fell far away, the old devils didn't pay much attention.

But when the second shell lands it's not right.

Just listening to the whistling sound of the shell, one knew that the impact point was very close.

"Division Commander, be careful!" Yuta Tsuchiya threw Maeda Tadanobu down with a hungry tiger.

The next moment, a shell landed next to the tent of the division headquarters and exploded, and the air wave generated by the explosion overturned the square-top tent of the division headquarters.

The hot sand also fluttered on Maeda Tadanobu's body.

Some sand even fell into Maeda Tadanobu's collar, scalding the old devil half to death.

It was only a little bit short, and the senior generals of the 2nd Guards Division were all overwhelmed by the shell just now.

"Baga!" Maeda Tadanobu slapped the sand off his body, and was about to turn over and sit up, when suddenly there was another scream of shells.

Tsuchiya Yuta's face turned green with fright, and he quickly yelled again to the head of the division to be careful, and then rushed forward again and threw Maeda Tadanobu to the ground.

But this time the shells did not fall nearby.

"Go away." Maeda Tadanobu pushed Tsuchiya Yuta away.

"As an imperial soldier, would you still be afraid of the shelling of the Eighth Route Army?"

Tsuchiya Yuta quickly calmed down, and at the same time felt a little burning on his cheeks.

Maeda Tadanobu said again: "However, what is puzzling is that the Eighth Route Army's artillery is obviously hidden in Shuiyao Mountain, so how could it be possible to hit our camp?"

"Yeah, it's really puzzling."

"Although the mortar can attack over the top, its range is limited."

"The range of the grenade is only 500 meters, let alone."

"The range of the 75mm field gun is enough, but it is impossible to attack over the top."

The group leaders were also puzzled, and Yuta Tsuchiya suddenly said: "Commander, the Eighth Route Army must have moved the cannon to the top of the cliff, right?"

"Nani?"

Maeda Tadanobu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words.

Immediately, he shouted again: "Order, the 2nd Guards Field Artillery Regiment and the 10th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Regiment immediately suppress Shuiyao Mountain with firepower."

"Also, each wing retreats 5 kilometers."

"Rebuild the camp at a safe distance."

At this time, the adjutant had already brought the armored command vehicle over.

Tsuchiya Yuta hurriedly protected Maeda Tadanobu and got into the armored vehicle.

Although the artillery fire density of the Eighth Route Army is not high, and the probability of the same impact point being bombarded twice in a short period of time is very small, but it is not a problem to be exposed to artillery fire for a long time.

So it's better to retreat to a safe distance as soon as possible.

……

At the same time, in Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka hurried into the war room.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Kayata Kosuke stood up quickly.

Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and asked, "Mr. Maotian, just now the Eighth Route Army's Dongyao radio station is on again?"

"Yes." Kayata Kosuke paused and said, "Just now the Eighth Route Army's Dongyao radio station was turned on again suddenly, and reported a set of positioning coordinates to their Dongsan radio station."

"Coordinates?" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "No, it must be the artillerymen's shots!"

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio asked Sakamoto Ryuichi again: "Sakamoto-kun, how many kilometers are the camps of the 2nd Guards Division and Tsuda Detachment from Shuiyao Mountain?"

Takaichi Sakamoto replied without hesitation: "The camp of the 2nd Guards Division is in the open space at the end of the village in Daxia Bay, about 4 kilometers away from Shuiyao Mountain, and the camp of the Tsuda Detachment is about 3 kilometers away from Shuiyao Mountain."

"Baga!" Shinozuka Yoshio said urgently, "Hurry up and notify the 2nd Guard Division and the Tsuda Detachment to retreat..."

Before the words were finished, Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, came out in a hurry and immediately reported: "Your Excellency, the aviation scouts report that the camps of the 2nd Guards Division and the Tsuda Detachment were shelled."

"Damn it!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face collapsed, "It's actually one step too late! I hope the loss won't be too great."

"Strange." Kayata Kosuke said puzzled, "The artillery of the Eighth Route Army is hidden in Shuiyao Mountain, separated by a high mountain, how could it hit the camp of the 2nd Guards Division and the Tsuda Detachment?"

"It's not surprising." Ryuichi Sakamoto pointed to the just-made model of Shuiyao Mountain on the sand table, "If the Eighth Route Army digs a bunker near the top of the cliff and puts artillery on it, it can easily cover a radius of eight kilometers. , Tsuda Detachment and the camp of the 2nd Guards Division are within the attack range."

Chapter 245 Self-defeating

Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "The question is, how did the Eighth Route Army get the artillery up there?"

"Yes." Kayata Kosuke also said, "The top of the cliff is at least a hundred meters above the ground. Without lifting tools, it is impossible to get a cannon weighing almost one ton up by manpower alone?"

"Otherwise." Ryuichi Sakamoto said, "There is still a way."

"Really?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked in a deep voice, "I would like to hear more about it."

Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "In my hometown, Iwate County, because there are many mountains and little land, and they are all barren dry land, the life of the imperial people was extremely difficult."

"After the Meiji Restoration, a water conservancy expert was sent."

"A canal was dug on the cliff to irrigate with mountain spring water, turning tens of thousands of acres of mountain land into fertile land, and the emperor's people finally solved their food and clothing."

"Baga!" Mizuhara Taku said impatiently, "Sakamoto, you idiot, your Excellency the Commander is asking you how to get the nearly one-ton 75 field cannon to the top of a cliff more than 100 meters high, not to listen to your story .”

Shinozuka Yoshio also said: "Sakamoto-kun, don't talk about these irrelevant things, and talk about the key points."

"Hayi." Ryuichi Sakamoto said with a pause, "Water canals can be dug on cliffs, and roads can also be built naturally, and it's not as difficult as imagined."

"Roadway?" Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed.

"You mean the Eighth Route Army built a road on the cliff?"

"Isn't that right?" Mizuhara Takuya frowned, "According to the information provided by the surviving imperial soldiers who entered Shuiyao Mountain, there are only shooting holes on the surrounding cliffs, and there is no road?"

"The reason is very simple." Takashi Sakamoto said, "The highway is hidden within the cliff."

While talking, Takaichi Sakamoto cut out a slanted upward groove from the "cliff" of the sand table model, and then covered the groove with a small rectangular thin wooden board.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Takuya Mizuhara immediately understood the reason.

"Sodesney!" Kayata Kosuke said dumbfounded, "It's a genius idea."

Mizuhara Takuya also subconsciously praised: "It is both a road and a bunker, and it can store troops and store supplies, and it can even transport a one-ton 75 field artillery to the height of the cliff top, which is amazing!"

"It's still not right, there is another problem." Shinozuka Yoshio said.

Takashi Sakamoto said, "Your Excellency, Commander, you want to say that it's a matter of time?"

"Yes." Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Suiyuan-kun just said that Shuiyao Mountain is a typical granite terrain, and the granite is characterized by its hard texture, which is very difficult to excavate."

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "How long will it take to dig such a road?"

All eyes turned to Takuya Mizuhara, he was an expert in geology.

Takuya Mizuhara pondered for a moment before saying, "According to the assumption given to Aisakamoto-kun based on the distribution of bunkers described by the surviving imperial army, it would normally take at least a year to dig such a road."

"Normal situation?" Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Is there anything abnormal?"

"Yes, there is." Mizuhara Takuya said, "If you are in a hurry, you can also open the skylight and dig more points at the same time. This will greatly save time, and about three months will be enough."

Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned cold, and he said, "Three months?"

"At least three months." Mizuhara Takuya said, "It's absolutely impossible to be less."

Shinozuka Yoshio's face became more and more gloomy, and a first-class bad premonition faintly floated in his heart.

three months?The Eighth Route Army was digging this road three months ago?Doesn't this mean that as early as three months ago, the Eighth Route Army had already anticipated the situation like today?

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio instantly felt a biting chill.

Could it be that this was another pre-set trap, and fell into the trap of the prince again?

With so many staff officers present, only Takuya Mizuhara and Ryuichi Sakamoto could keep up with Yoshio Shinozuka's thoughts.

Ryuichi Sakamoto did not say a word, but Takuya Mizuhara would not let go of such an opportunity, and quickly comforted him: "Your Excellency, Commander, absolutely no one in this world can predict what will happen three months later."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Eighth Route Army originally wanted to build Shuiyao Mountain into a fortress."

"So as early as three months or even a year ago, the road had been dug on the cliff."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I also support Suwon-kun's judgment." Ryuichi Sakamoto also said, "I think it is absolutely impossible for this road to be dug recently."

"Forget it, let's forget about this." Yoshio Shinozuka breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Yasushi Inoue, "Mr. Inoue, please call the 2nd Guards Division and the Tsuda Detachment immediately, and retreat at least 5 kilometers before camping. .”

"Hai!" Inoue Jingdun said first.

……

Shuiyao Mountain, the top of the mountain.

The Japanese troops in both directions began to retaliate with firepower at the same time.

Because they were hidden on the reverse slope of the mountain, Wang Ye and the others were not afraid of the devil's firepower revenge at all.

Although the trajectory of the field gun also has a certain arc, it is relatively smooth and cannot shoot a parabola with a large inclination like a mortar, so it is difficult to threaten the reverse slope of the mountain.

As for the devil artillery from beyond the sky,

The retaliation is the crater on the other side of Shuiyao Mountain.

The devils from the two directions had a tacit understanding, and each was responsible for half of Shuiyao Mountain.

Wei Xilai couldn't stay idle, and kept watching the devils through the artillery mirror.

Wang Ye didn't stop it either, because there was no need to show his head when observing through the artillery mirror, and his safety was guaranteed.

Suddenly, Wei Xilai yelled in a low voice: "Captain, the devils are starting to retreat, the little devils are retreating!"

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said triumphantly: "This is the expected result. If the little devil doesn't retreat, will he still stay within the range of our artillery and wait to die?"

"Grass, what a pity."

Wei Dayong sighed sadly: "If we can concentrate the firepower of an artillery regiment, aim at the devils' camp to make a quick attack, and then throw in the infantry, we might be able to defeat the devils in the direction of Daxiawan in one fell swoop!"

"You are delusional." Wang Ye said, "It's not so easy for devils to collapse."

At this moment, Wei Xi said, "Captain, I understand again!"

Wang Ye smiled and said, "What do you understand?"

Wei Xilai said, "I understand what you mean by preparing for the breakout."

Hehe smiled, and Wei Xilai said again: "The shelling just now was to attack the devils, and to warn the little devils not to get too close to Shuiyao Mountain, keep 8 kilometers away."

"In this way, the devils will maintain a huge encirclement with a radius of 8 kilometers."

"With such a large encirclement, the strength of each point will become extremely weak."

"Then when we break through, it will be very easy. When the devils react, the three main groups of our 386 brigade have already broken through the encirclement and entered the sea."

Wang Ye laughed: "Not bad, not bad, I have learned to use idioms."

Wei Xilai said shyly, "I'm slow in learning, and Brother Yong always criticizes me."

"He is a pervert, don't compare with him." Wang Yexin said that comparing with Wei Dayong is to seek abuse.

Wei Dayong immediately became unhappy, and said angrily: "Captain, please explain clearly, why am I becoming a pervert again?"

"Monk, the captain is praising you." Wang Xikui said angrily, "You say you have a good brain, you can learn things quickly, and you can't catch up to eight horses. How dare you not like it?"

"Really?" Wei Dayong was happy.
