Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Yin Xinjun looked at the giant observation balloon in the sky, which looked a bit creepy, and was at a loss as to what to do.

It was estimated to be more than 2000 meters high, and at least 10 kilometers away from me in a straight line.

The range and elevation angle are not enough!

Of course he knew what it was, because during the Battle of Shanghai, the Japanese Army's Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade dispatched observation balloons and left behind many photos!

This kind of observation balloon can use the telephone to guide artillery to calibrate shooting at ground targets at any time, posing a great threat to the Chinese military!

Although Yin Xinjun wanted to send a telegram to remind Ding Shan and Kang Huaifu, the embarrassing thing was that the words "observation balloon" did not appear in the code book at all!

It seems that there is still a need to continue to revise the version!

Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard in the air. The sound came from far away and became louder and louder, deafening.

When Shigeru Sawada heard this voice, an excited look appeared on his face. He knew that the plane he had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived!

At the foot of Pingdingshan, several Japanese soldiers were busy and nervous. They quickly ignited several piles of firewood, and the raging fire burned fiercely, releasing billowing smoke.

The soldiers stared at the sky with their eyes wide open, hope and expectation flashing in their eyes.

Ten planes were circling around Tokyo town. They also saw the bonfire.

He circled the campfire three times,

on the plane,

The squadron leader, Oshima, shook his head in anger. What on earth did these infantry idiots ask me to blow up? A mountain?

There is not a single enemy on the mountain. Where the hell should I throw the bomb?

In the end, the ten planes barely dropped the bombs hanging under their bellies. Only two of these bombs fell on the mountain, and the rest fell into the woods!

One bomb even fell near the Japanese army, killing and injuring 6 people!

The captain of the corps, Haruji Morita, was so angry that he cursed at the sky!

The bombing was not effective, so we had to bombard again.

As the bombardment roared,

Under the guidance of the observation balloon, the 150-mm heavy howitzer once again covered Pingdingshan with firepower.

After the shelling stopped for 20 minutes!

Colonel Morita drew his shining saber! This time,

He decided to take the stage himself.

Today, if we cannot take Pingdingshan,

His end will be the same: death, and he will have to cut open his stomach to apologize!

San'er has found the pattern.

The Japanese artillery bombardment had just stopped.

A platoon of soldiers has rushed out of the cave and occupied the surface position on the top of the mountain!

The last thousand or so men of the 8th Regiment launched the final charge!

Haruji Morita, who was rushing in the front, immediately attracted everyone's attention with his standard officer look. At least 7-8 guns were aimed at him at the same time!

After a burst of gunfire, several bloody holes appeared on Haruji Morita's chest. His fanatical eyes became dim and he fell forward!

Seeing a large mass of Japanese troops rushing up,

San Er grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly,

"Front line of position, 100-400 meters north, artillery fire coverage!"

Faced with the threat of Japanese heavy howitzers, due to the difficulty in moving, the mountain artillery assigned to San'er has been withdrawn to about 1 kilometer southeast of Guangmingtun, and an artillery position has also been built!

After receiving the call, the artillery pieces at the two artillery positions opened fire at the same time!

Rows of artillery shells whizzed over again!

Under the simultaneous attack of two artillery groups,

The number of Japanese troops launching the charge dropped drastically.

At this time, the Japanese observation balloon also discovered the firing of the Daniu artillery unit and immediately began to measure!

7-8 minutes later, the first row of test shells hit us.

Three shots in total!

One of the rounds hit a field gun's emplacement.

With a loud bang, a huge cloud of smoke rose up.

The barrel, wheels and carriage of the field gun flew into the air, and nine gunners fell in a pool of blood!

Da Niu was shocked. He didn't expect that the enemy's heavy artillery could fire so far. He knew something was wrong and immediately ordered a evacuation!

But it's too late!

Less than 20 seconds after the test firing,

Another row of shells hit the artillery unit's position.

Two howitzers and three mountain and field guns were directly destroyed!

97 gunners and civilian workers were killed!

Daniu hurriedly ordered all personnel to evacuate immediately!

Don’t want the remaining guns and ammunition!

After all, people are the most important!

Fortunately, the continuous bombardment just now dealt a fatal blow to the 8th Regiment!

And on Kang Huaifu's side, Yu Changan's artillery company saw that something was wrong and immediately stopped firing, and hurriedly used a car to pull four mountain cannons away!

Pingdingshan,

The remaining hundred or so Japanese soldiers were already scattered, scattered here and there.

Cheng Li and Li Jianghai, both grenade launchers, raised their rifles and kept firing at the running Japanese soldiers. The box of grenades they carried had been used up, and they had no time to get more ammunition.

However, judging from the situation, there is no need to take it.

There are less than 10 Japanese devils in front of the two of them!

Beside him, a Type 96 machine gun kept firing, and the last Japanese soldier fell down!

San'er blew the whistle and entered the cave!

Prevent the devil’s artillery retaliation!

On a north-south mountain road heading north from Pingdingshan,

Three Japanese soldiers were riding horses, carrying a tattered flag, and running desperately.

The three of them are the flag guards of the 8th Regiment!

Before Colonel Morita charged, the last task he issued was to order the three men to immediately deliver the military flags to the division headquarters!

Only the infantry and cavalry regiments of the Japanese army had military flags, also called regimental flags!

Neither brigades nor divisions!

The regiment flag is more important than the life of a soldier. At least since the founding of the Japanese army, no regiment flag has fallen into the hands of the enemy!

Listening to the rumbling artillery fire coming from the direction of Pingdingshan, Second Lieutenant Kudo Tenjiro, who was walking in front, was already in tears!

The 8th Regiment is definitely in danger!

Thinking of that tragic scene,

All three of them started crying.

On the path ahead, a Japanese officer suddenly appeared.

The three of them approached and took a look.

It turned out to be a major in the Japanese army!

Kudo Tenjiro and the other two quickly dismounted from their horses and saluted!

The Major's eyes shot out a cold light, and he asked,

"Why are you in such a hurry carrying a broken flag?"

Kudo Tenjiro's face turned red with anger and he yelled,

"Sir, this is the flag of our 8th Regiment!"

Another soldier also shouted loudly,

"Our 8th Regiment has been annihilated, but the flag cannot fall into the hands of the enemy!"

The major curled his lips and said lightly,

"So, you, the 8th Regiment, are shameless. You can't win if you can't. If you don't have the ability to defend the flag, then what's the point of keeping this broken flag?"

Kudo Tenjiro could no longer bear it and rushed towards the major.

A huge force came flying over, and the major kicked Kudo Tenjiro's chest hard.

"idiot!"

The major roared, quickly drew out his sword, and slashed at Kudo Tenjiro's neck.

A head rose into the sky.

The two flag guards nearby were stunned. A white light flashed, and a knife wound appeared on the necks of both men. They fell down directly!

Yin Xinjun reached out and took the regiment flag from the second lieutenant's back and put it into his own space!

He quickly hid in the nearby mountains and forests and hid himself!

It's getting late,

He found a safe and secluded place.
