Over 40 kilometers from Ping'an County, three soldiers have already had their legs broken by mules and horses.

But even so, Lou Daqiang couldn't slow down, because the command issued a death order, and he had to rush to Jiugong Town to gather before three o'clock in the morning.

Fortunately, there are less than [-] kilometers left.

There are still three hours left, so there is no time.

But Lou Daqiang kept urging him.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, ten kilometers northwest of Nao County.

Wang Ye shouted in a low voice: "Xiao Huihui, the map!"

Wei Xilai quickly took out the map from his satchel.

He turned on the flashlight again, and a little light leaked from between his fingers.

With this light, Wang Ye marked on the map while calculating.

The flat land where they are now is an ideal artillery position. Because this attack is a suicide attack, it is much easier to choose an artillery position without considering concealment and camouflage.

This position is about ten kilometers away from the county seat of Nao County, and about five to ten kilometers away from the barracks of the 1st Division. Nearly half of the barracks are beyond the range of the mountain artillery.

So this artillery position can only be an option.

Wang Ye chose six such artillery positions, and this is position No. [-].

Whether the position can be selected in the end depends on Wei Dayong's detailed reconnaissance of the 1st Division barracks, which must be determined according to the specific position of the Devil's artillery position.

But preparations can be made in advance.

According to the distance and drop between the two positions, Wang Ye quickly calculated an approximate pitch angle, and the precise pitch angle still needs final verification.

At that time, the artillery will conduct a test fire first.

As an observation team, Wei Dayong's team will provide correction parameters based on the test firing.

As soon as the shooter Zhu Yuan marked the No. [-] position, the indicator light of the walkie-talkie on Wei Xilai's back turned on.

Wang Ye grabbed the phone and asked, "This is Dongliang, this is Dongliang, where are you?"

"Dongliang Dongliang, I'm Dongsan." Wei Dayong's voice immediately sounded from the opposite side, "Now I will report to you the specific coordinate parameters of the devil's artillery position and the material camp."

"Please wait a moment." Wang Ye immediately opened his notebook, picked up a pencil, and said, "Now we can talk."

Wei Dayong said: "There are three artillery positions in the 1st Division. The center coordinates are xxx, yyy; aaa, bbb; ccc, ddd, and the coordinates of the material camp are..."

Wang Ye quickly recorded it, and when he was about to hang up the phone, Wei Dayong suddenly said, "Dongliang Dongliang also found a strange target, which is suspected to be a quick strike force of the devil."

Rapid strike force?Wang Ye's heart trembled, and he asked, "Can you briefly explain the situation?"

Wei Dayong replied: "There are probably more than 1000 devils, and they have not slept until now, and more than 1000 trucks have been parked near these more than 30 devils."

"Crap!" Wang Ye cursed in a low voice, and then said, "Give me the coordinates."

"Yes." Wei Dayong replied, reporting the coordinates of the suspicious target.

Wang Ye quickly recorded the coordinates, and said: "Dong San Dong San, continue to monitor!"

Just as Wei Dayong's No. [-] walkie-talkie fell silent, Li Yunlong's No. [-] walkie-talkie rang.

"Dongliang Dongliang, I am Dongyao, please answer." Li Yunlong said, "Dongliang Dongliang, I am Dongyao, please answer."

"Dongliang received it, Dongliang received it." Wang Ye spread out the map and said, "The coordinates of the selected area are eee, fff, please come here immediately and repeat..."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, Li Yunlong said: "Dongyao received it, come right away!"

He said he would be there soon, and he was right there. Less than half an hour later, Li Yunlong rushed to Wang Ye's side with three artillery battalions and a temporarily formed heavy machine gun regiment.

Wang Ye was surprised and said: "Head, why are you so fast?"

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "I know it's here as soon as I guess it."

Wang Ye stopped talking nonsense, and immediately handed over the three marked maps to Lou Daqiang, Liu Mangang, and Tu Feng, the three artillery battalion commanders, and asked the heavy machine gun regiment to step up the construction of heavy machine gun fortifications.

Half an hour later, the three artillery battalions had all set up their positions.

Wang Ye turned on the walkie-talkie again and shouted, "Dong San Dong San, I am Dong Liang."

Wei Dayong's reply quickly came from the opposite side: "Dongsan received it, Dongsan received it, Dongsan, please come in."

Wang Ye glanced at the artillery who was about to stop, and said solemnly: "The artillery is about to test fire, pay attention to observation."

Wei Dayong replied: "Dongsan received it, Dongsan received it, artillerymen please feel free to test fire! Our observation team will closely observe the impact of the shells! Repeat..."

Wang Ye nodded slightly.

Lou Daqiang immediately yelled: "Take a test shot at number one!"

The next moment, there was a bang on the artillery position.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, the camp of the 1st Division was still immersed in the quiet night.

Wei Dayong led Duan Peng and Liang Jun to lurk on an unnamed hill outside the devil's camp.

There used to be an ambush post for devils on this hill, but Wei Dayong had already killed it.

Because it is a latent sentry at night, the guard will not change until dawn, so I don't worry about being exposed.

Wei Dayong has already set up the artillery team's glasses, and aimed his sights at the devil's rapid strike force.

I saw more than 1000 devils in the rapid strike force were still awake, gathering in twos and threes to chat, and the cooks in the cooking team had also woken up, busy preparing breakfast for the rapid strike force.

At this moment, a faint stream of light flashed across the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, this stream of light was like a shooting star, and fell into the devil's barracks with a whoosh.

However, the impact point was a little bit off, not only did not bomb the devils of the rapid strike force, but also did not bomb the car.

At that moment, Wei Dayong picked up the microphone and said: "Two holes, two holes, lower the pitch angle by 5 mils, move the horizontal angle by 10 mils to the right, repeat it, drop the pitch angle by 5 mils, and move the horizontal angle by 10 mils to the right, it's over! "

……

Five kilometers away, the artillery position of the Shanxi Northwest Column.

Wang Ye said loudly: "The pitch angle decreases by 5 mils, and the horizontal angle moves to the right by 10 mils, hurry up!"

Lou Daqiang, Liu Manguan, and Tu Feng immediately yelled, "There are all of them. The pitch angle is reduced by 5mils, and the horizontal angle is moved to the right by 10mils. Hurry up!"

The gunners of the 36 cannons turned the height and direction gears slightly, and quickly adjusted them in place.

After a while, the 36 gunners shouted hello, and Lou Daqiang shouted sharply: "There are all of them, ten rounds of rapid fire!"

In the next moment, the gunners, ammunitionists, and loaders of the 36 artillery teams immediately got busy, firing out ten shells in the shortest possible time.

It took only 2 minutes for the 36 artillery groups to fire ten rounds.

At this time, Tu Feng, Lou Daqiang, and Liu Mangang had returned to their respective positions, and next, the three artillery battalions were about to fire shells at different coordinates.

The three of Tu Feng quickly issued an order to correct and shoot Zhu Yuan.

The gunners frantically turned the height machine and the steering machine, and soon, the muzzles of the 36 75mm caliber mountain guns pointed in three different directions, and then the free shooting began.

……

1st Division camp.

Mitsuo Nakazawa was awakened from his sleep by the sound of a huge explosion.

Picking up the saber and rushing outside the square-topped tent, I saw that the camp of the Rapid Strike Brigade near the north exit of the barracks had been blown up into a sea of ​​flames, especially the more than 30 trucks assigned to the Rapid Strike Brigade, most of which were already on fire. The soldiers of the Rapid Strike Brigade were also blown to pieces.

"Baga!" Nakazawa Sanfu felt a little confused.

What does this say?The artillery of the 1th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army hid in Nao County. It was fine if they could hit the southern end of their 75st Division camp in the morning, but they could still hit the northernmost end of the camp at night?The [-] mountain artillery of the Eighth Route Army can shoot farther at night?This must be more than ten kilometers, right?

Just as Sanfu Nakazawa was in a daze, there was another scream of shells in the air.

"Huh? Didn't it come from the direction of Nao County?" Now Sanfu Zhongze heard clearly, "It's from the northwest? The [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army actually took advantage of the night to transfer the artillery to the northwest direction?"

"Division commander? What happened just now? Did the [-]th Brigade launch a night attack?"

Amid the slightly panicked shouts, Chief of Staff Mitsuzo Takahashi rushed over with a saber in his arms.

"What are you panicking about?" Sanfu Zhongze snorted, and said again, "The sky won't fall."

As soon as the words fell, rows of shells had already landed on the barracks overwhelmingly.

Taking advantage of the red light from the shell explosion, Mitsuo Nakazawa and Mitsuzo Takahashi were surprised to find that the three positions of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Field Artillery Wing were bombarded!

"Division Commander, this is a premeditated attack!" Mitsuzo Takahashi shouted immediately, "It's just that the target this time is the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Field Artillery Regiment!"

"Damn it." Nakazawa Sanfu gritted his teeth.

"The [-]th Brigade is really hard to guard against!"

Takahashi Mitsuzo said again: "Master, you must stop them!"

When I turned my head, I saw Katsuo Miyamoto, the brigade commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, walking quickly.

Takahashi Mitsuzo immediately reminded Mitsuo Nakazawa: "Division Commander, quickly order the 2nd Cavalry Brigade to attack and destroy the artillery positions of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time!"

Ordering the cavalry to attack is undoubtedly the best choice.

Or maybe it's the only viable option at all.

Order the artillery to counterattack?In a hurry, I didn't know the exact position of the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. If I used artillery to counterattack without measuring the shooting elements, wouldn't I be out of my mind?

It was too late to order the infantry to counterattack.

Originally there was a rapid attack brigade, but it was a pity that it was already disabled by the bombing.

At that moment, Mitsuo Nakazawa shouted sharply: "Miyamoto-kun, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade will attack immediately, find the artillery position of the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time and destroy it!"

"Hai!" Katsuo Miyamoto paused, turned and left in a hurry.

The next moment, the camp of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade became noisy.

The devils of the 1st Division, whether infantry or cavalry, have really high tactical literacy.

In less than 5 minutes, the cavalry of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade quickly completed the assembly, and then rushed out of several camp gates in the north like a flood that broke the embankment.

The 2nd Cavalry Brigade has jurisdiction over the 1st Cavalry Regiment, the 15th Cavalry Regiment, the 16th Cavalry Regiment and the Cavalry Artillery Regiment, but the Cavalry Artillery Regiment was temporarily assigned to the 1st Field Artillery Regiment, so this time There are only three cavalry regiments in the attack, but these three cavalry regiments are all large regiments with four cavalry squadrons and one heavy machine gun squadron.

Unlike the cavalry wing of some mountain divisions, it is a small wing of two squadrons, or a cavalry brigade.

In short, in less than 10 minutes, more than 2 cavalry from the 4000nd Cavalry Brigade rushed out like a flood that broke a bank, chasing the streamer in the night sky all over the mountains and plains to kill northwest.

Although the response of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade was fast enough, Sanfu Nakazawa still found it slow.

The reason is also very simple, because the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army fell like raindrops. In just a few minutes, the two artillery positions of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the position of the 1st Field Artillery Regiment had been blown into pieces. sea ​​of ​​flames.

Amidst the tumbling flames, one can clearly see groups of artillerymen running wildly, and from time to time, another group of flames will suddenly bloom. Either the cannons are overturned by the blast waves, or the artillerymen are rolled over. The flames engulfed, and in a blink of an eye, the three artillery positions had become a burning hell.

The only good news is that the artillery positions are not so dense.

Therefore, it may not be so easy for the artillery of the Eighth Route Army to completely destroy the three artillery positions of the 1st Division, because the 2nd Cavalry Brigade will never give them enough time.

……

On the unnamed hill outside the 1st Division barracks.

Seeing the three artillery positions of the Japanese army being blown into a sea of ​​flames, Wei Dayong, Duan Peng, and Liang Junxin felt extremely happy for a moment. This feeling is really refreshing!

However, Wei Dayong still did not forget their own work.

Through the field of vision of the artillery team, Wei Dayong found that the impact point of the 1st Artillery Battalion was deviated.

At that moment, Wei Dayong grabbed the phone and shouted: "Dong Liang Dong Liang, I am Dong San, the impact point of the 1st Pao Battalion is deviated, the pitch angle is increased by 6 mils, and the horizontal angle is 8 mils to the left."

Immediately came Wang Ye's reply from the other side of the phone: "Dong Liang received it!"

After a while, the Artillery 1 Battalion corrected the shooting elements, and the shells accurately landed on one of the artillery positions, knocking one after another of the large-caliber heavy artillery to the ground, which was great!

While feeling refreshed, Wei Dayong said again: "Duan Peng, Junzi, pay attention to monitoring the movement of the devil's material camp. After the artillery destroys the artillery position of the 1st Division, we will continue to attack the devil's material camp!"

"Don't worry, Monk." Duan Peng snorted, "I have been closely monitoring it."

As soon as the words fell, Liang Jun suddenly roared: "Fuck, there are devils rushing up!"

Wei Dayong turned his head anxiously, and sure enough, he saw a group of devils rushing up under the moonlight with [-] big caps.

There were only a dozen or so devils in this team, but they stretched out a wavy line of skirmishers tens of meters wide, and one could tell at a glance that they were a group of devil veterans who had experienced many battles.

Liang Jun said: "It seems to be a patrol team!"
