Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

The Tiger Cave position is full of bunkers and has strong fortifications. Luo Yufeng's troops of the 3th Regiment of the 5rd Brigade of the Teaching Corps are stationed here.

"Battalion Commander, the Japs are coming again."

The scout stood in the bunker, observing with a telescope. When he saw the Japanese plaster flag, he immediately reported to Luo Yufeng.

"These little Japs have attacked for the third time today," Luo Yufeng said, rubbing his dry and stiff hands.

The wind was strong on the mountain. Although they were in the bunker, the cold winter would not let anyone go.

Luo Yufeng's hands were a little stiff at this time. He moved them habitually and continued.

"Tell my brothers to prepare for battle."

At this moment, a signalman hurried to the front of Luo Yufeng and said, "Battalion Commander, the military headquarters is calling."

"Hmm? Could it be possible that the military is providing support at this time?"

Luo Yufeng murmured, quickening his pace as he walked towards the underground anti-bombing cave.

After a while, Luo Yufeng picked up the phone and spoke anxiously.

"Commander, our brothers are in such a plight! The Japanese are using poison gas bombs, incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, planes and artillery. We can't hold on any longer."

He was crying poor as usual, but he was crying to the wrong person. The person who called was Qiu Qingquan himself.

His original intention was to ask Luo Yufeng to cooperate and attract more Japanese devils, but Luo Yufeng did this, which made him speechless.

Qiu Qingquan couldn't stand the chatter anymore and interrupted:

"Don't cry poor to me, kid. If you keep talking like that, you'll have nothing left."

Luo Yufeng was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was the voice of the chief of staff. He immediately said it embarrassedly.

"Chief of Staff Qiu, it's you. What kind of support are you planning to provide?"

He was thick-skinned and immediately forgot that he had called the wrong person and started paying attention to the support.

He could hear that the military really intended to support him.

"You kid." Qiu Qingquan shook his head and didn't care. He also knew how difficult it was on the front line, so he immediately became serious and gave orders.

"I'll give you two tasks now. The first is to try to attract as many devils as possible into the position. The military will also send troops to support us."

"Second, try to find out the exact location of the Japanese soldiers down the mountain. This is urgent."

Qiu Qingquan emphasized his tone. He felt that there were 200 artillery shells and 150-caliber heavy artillery.

It would be boring to just fight the Japanese on the mountain. We should try to see if we can eliminate more of them if we have this chance. After all, such opportunities are rare.

"Staff Officer Qiu, there's no need to investigate this." Luo Yufeng said directly.

"Down the mountain is the Japanese 33rd Regiment and a squadron of field artillery. This attack should be a Japanese battalion."

The Japanese have always been deployed like this, and he even sent scouts out this morning.

"Okay." Qiu Qingquan shouted and continued to instruct:

"Your reinforcements are on the way. Your mission now is to hold the Japanese back and prevent them from escaping."

"When the bombardment is over, you must immediately counterattack and don't let the devils escape. Remember."

After saying this, Qiu Qingquan hung up the phone and made another call to the headquarters of the 618th Regiment.

"Captain Wan, take the radio with you and leave the city with them. Head east for eight miles. We'll send you our exact location by telegram once we're out of the city."

"Yes." Wan Shijiong agreed and took the regiment staff and radio station to meet Gu Changfeng outside the city.

At this time, the artillery company was already waiting inside the city gate. The Japanese planes had just left, and Gu Changfeng was not worried about this. He just waited for news from the mountain.

Of course, Gu Changfeng also knew that there were Japanese traitors in the city, but he had already covered the vehicles with something and was not afraid that the Japanese would guess it.

Since he could no longer conceal the heavy artillery, he simply showed it to the Japanese.

"Brother Gu, Military Staff Officer Qiu told us to march eight miles east and we'll send you the location later."

After leaving the city, Wan Shijiong went straight to Gu Changfeng and told him Qiu Qingquan's order.

"Then let's go. How to act is up to you, but how to fight is up to us."

Gu Changfeng didn't have any power in Jinling, so he didn't know how the Japanese were deployed, so he could only obey.

Two minutes later, a group of seven or eight hundred people marched eastward in a swagger.

"Baga, these Chinese people actually dared to leave the city!"

The Japanese reconnaissance team, led by team leader Fu Jizhen, cursed softly and immediately gave orders to the soldiers next to him.

"Report immediately to the regiment headquarters. The Chinese at Zhongshan Gate have left the city and are heading in the direction of the regiment."

The Ono Corps Headquarters was located east of Zhongshan Gate, near Qilin Gate.

Qiu Qingquan's move confused Ohno Nobuaki. After receiving the news, he immediately convened a joint team meeting.

"The Chinese are coming towards us with six trucks, two heavy artillery pieces, and seven or eight hundred men. What do you think?"

As soon as Ohno Nobuaki finished speaking, the Japanese officers in the regiment headquarters began to clamor.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, these Chinese are asking for their own death. The Akao Battalion requests to go into battle."

"Sir, the commander of the wing, please request the well battalion to go into battle."

"Your Excellency, the Nonaka Battalion has requested to go into battle,"

Captain Akao was the first to jump out and ask for battle, followed by the other two captains of the Ohno Regiment.

Only Miura, who was from the defeated team, had a red face. He stood up and wanted to ask for a fight but he didn't dare. The whole team was defeated, so what was the point of asking for a fight.

"Yoshi, you are all warriors of the empire." Ohno Nobuaki said with satisfaction, and then changed the subject.

"But everyone should wait a moment. The brigade's support is on the way."

"Now you all just need to defend the city walls. There's no need to go into battle."

The heavy artillery was still very dangerous to him, and with the large number of mortars, he didn't want his regiment to be destroyed here.

However, he did not expect that Gu Changfeng and Qiu Qingquan's target was not his regiment at all. Ohno Nobuaki guessed completely wrong.

If he sent troops to attack at this time, Gu Changfeng really would have no good solution.

"Changfeng, the location has been sent."

Eight miles is not far at all. It only takes half an hour to travel with heavy artillery.

"Old Lu, it's up to you." Gu Changfeng gave an order and turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"Special forces, disperse and guard immediately. If there are any Japanese reconnaissance teams, destroy them all."

"Yes, Commander Gu." Xiao Wu also became serious at this time. After saluting, he turned around and started the action with the special forces.

"Li Jie, you lead the bazooka platoon and keep an eye on any movements."

Gu Changfeng did not dare to be careless. This was considered a battle outside the city, and the Japanese were rampant now.

In addition, it is not far from Qilin Gate, and any negligence will put his team in great danger.

Ten minutes later, Lu Daya reported: "Commander Gu, the position has been adjusted, requesting launch."

Gu Changfeng turned to look at Wan Shijiong and asked, "Is there any problem at the Tiger Cave?"

Wan Shijiong shook his head and said, "No telegram means everything is fine. Let's start the bombardment!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng nodded at Lu Daya.

Lu Daya returned to the vicinity of the artillery and shouted loudly: "Target, Tiger Cave Japs, fire."

Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh

Shells whizzed out one after another. In ten seconds, 6 vehicles and 96 shells were all poured out.

Wan Shijiong was shocked and stammered, "Gu, Gu, brother, this, this is..."

He couldn't continue talking at this point. Although he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had never seen this kind of launch method.

Firing nearly a hundred shells at a time, how powerful can it be?

He couldn't imagine...
