Jin Tieshan, commander of the first brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, withdrew his gaze from the lookout hole of the concealment unit, shook his head and clucked his lips, and said to the brigade chief of staff Cheng Shaofu: "Shaofu, why can't I understand?

, tell me, why is it that the artillery group of the Corps looks like it has been injected with chicken blood now?"

"The artillery fire was fierce enough. It not only suppressed the Japs' artillery, but also blew up the Japs' infantry who were preparing to attack. It seems that our brigade's life will be much easier today, after suffering this sap.

, I’m afraid it’s not that easy for the little devil to organize a second attack. Alas, if the artillery group of the Corps had been so powerful a few days ago, we would have lost many fewer soldiers!”

"Brigadier, I'm afraid it's not just the artillery group of the regiment. Listen, not only can we fight with the Japanese artillery, but we can also fight with the Japanese infantry. How many artillery pieces are there!" Cheng Shaofu listened carefully to the rumbling sound of the artillery.

, said in his mouth.↗

"Okay! We don't even guess what's going on!" Jin Tieshan didn't bother to think about it and said: "Shaofu, taking advantage of the little devil's infantry being blown away, ordered each regiment to consolidate their defenses, and then, in addition to

Except for a small number of surveillance troops left behind, the rest of the soldiers seize the time to stare for a while!"

"Ding, ring, ring!" A rapid ringing of the phone rang in the tent of the Japanese Australian Front Command. Chief of Staff Major General Akutagawa picked up the phone and said, "I am the headquarters, where are you?"

"What?" Chief of Staff Akutagawa, who had just listened to a few words, suddenly changed his face and exclaimed. "Be more careful! Um, um... Is it so serious? Is there any definite information?...

...If not, don’t make wild guesses. Carry out artillery suppression and counterattack at all costs! Today’s first round of attack orders has been cancelled, and the infantry is temporarily dispersed and hidden, waiting for orders from the headquarters!”

Chief of Staff Akutagawa's exclamation and change of expression attracted the attention of General Ito, who was having breakfast. He suddenly lost his appetite, signaled the guards to take away the breakfast, and asked: "Akutagawa-kun, what happened on the front line? What is all the fuss about?

of?"

Chief of Staff Akutagawa looked very ugly and said: "Commander-in-Chief, we have just received reports from the artillery commander and offensive infantry commander that our artillery position suddenly suffered a large-scale shelling by the China Independent Division artillery, because the shelling was still

It has not stopped, and the losses cannot be calculated. I have ordered the artillery to counterattack the artillery of the China Independent Division!"

"Also, our infantry unit in the first round of attack today was also shelled by the artillery of the Independent Division at the starting point of the attack. What is certain is that the losses were serious and the first round of attack was forced to be cancelled. It was my order!"

"In addition, Major General Ushijima, commander of the artillery of the front army, reported that he suspected that the China Independent Division troops blocking our attack would have reinforcements. Otherwise, there would not be artillery firepower several times greater than the previous few days, especially large-caliber heavy artillery!

"

"Huh?" General Ito's pupils shrank, and his face looked very ugly. After thinking about it, he asked: "Akutagawa-kun, what do you think?"

"It's hard to judge!" Chief of Staff Akutagawa told the truth. When dealing with the Chinese, it seems that he can never figure out their tricks. But since the Commander-in-Chief is asking for his opinion, it will definitely not work if he doesn't say something. He is the Chief of Staff.

, it is to provide reference opinions to the chief officer.

Chief of Staff Akutagawa tried hard to organize his language and said: "I personally believe that if it is the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army, all of them have been destroyed. The China Independent Division troops in the hinterland of the MacDonnell Mountains will be freed up and rushed to the northern theater. Finally,

It will take more than five days soon. From this point of view, it is not credible that the China Independent Division troops that blocked the imperial army have received reinforcements!"

"The most likely possibility is that the commander of the China Independent Division who is blocking us is playing some conspiracy. It cannot be that he hid most of the artillery during the battles in the past few days and only started using it today. This also shows that China

People have reached the point where they can no longer support themselves and are forced to give up all their family assets!"

General Ito also agreed with Chief of Staff Akutagawa's analysis. He did not believe that the independent division troops in the hinterland of the McDonnell Mountains would rush to the northern battlefield so quickly. "Akutagawa-kun, no matter what conclusion it is, it shows that the battle has reached its most critical moment.

time!"

"Today, the blockade of the China Independent Division must be defeated. Order the troops to immediately organize a second attack. Also, the attack must not stop at night. The attack must be carried out in one go without giving the Chinese people a chance to breathe!

"Commander-in-Chief, the terrible second attack will be postponed until the afternoon! Chief of Staff Akutagawa looked very embarrassed and said: "The troops in the first round of attack were heavily damaged by the artillery fire of the China Independent Division and have lost the offensive.

With the ability, it will take time to mobilize the second-line troops!"

"Well, as you said, we will start the attack in the afternoon. We can also take this opportunity to adjust the deployment of troops and firepower!" General Ito said simply. He knew that Major General Akutagawa was telling the truth, and there was no point in being anxious.

After more than an hour, the artillery battle between the two sides gradually subsided. The Japanese artillerymen, who were bombed to pieces and were very miserable, began to count the losses, and Zheng Yong came to Feng Jiwu's headquarters.

As soon as he entered the tent, he was hugged fiercely by Feng Jiwu. He laughed and said: "Commander Zheng, he is indeed the chief gunner of our independent division. His actions are different. Just now I have more than a dozen brigades under my command."

The commanders called me one after another, asking me what was going on and why our artillery showed off its power today?"

"It's nothing!" Zheng Yong said very proudly: "It's just that we don't have many artillery in hand. If all my artillery comes up, we can blow the little Japs back without the infantry of Commander Feng taking action."

Go to northern Australia!”

Tang Qiuli said nothing and looked at Zheng Yong. Zheng Yong grinned and hurriedly broke away from Feng Jiwu's embrace. He stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the division commander. Artillery commander Zheng Yong has come to report and ask for instructions from the division commander!"

"Your artillery has already had enough of the limelight!" Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Next step, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese commander, Zheng Yong, your artillery. Stop taking action for the time being and start following the counterattack plan.

.Deploy!"

"Yes! Master!" Zheng Yong replied loudly.

"Jiwu! The Japanese army's first round of offensive operations today was crushed. If they want to organize a second attack, they will have to complete the new offensive deployment at noon at the earliest." Tang Qiuli said slowly: "Next,

It is still necessary for the Niangziguan garrison troops to shoulder the offensive pressure of the Japanese army alone!"

"Commander, please rest assured. With Commander Zheng's shelling just now, I guess the little devil's offensive energy has been almost worn away. It will be much easier to deal with next!" Feng Jiwu replied equally calmly.

Tang Qiuli continued: "After 11 o'clock tonight, all the directly affiliated corps troops, armored troops, and the remaining artillery units will arrive on time! Therefore, the counterattack plan is scheduled to start at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning. By then,

All units of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps are engaged in the counterattack at the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity throughout the morning. Logistics departments at all levels must reserve sufficient ammunition and supplies for the frontline brigades!"

"Yes! Commander!" Feng Jiwu replied, and then he hesitated. Then he said: "Commander, I suddenly have a feeling that the Corps suddenly has so many more artillery. Will it alert Ito Yanzaburo and think that reinforcements are coming?

.Thus changing the way of attack!"

"Also, judging from the frequency of Japanese attacks in the past few days. After losing a whole morning, will Ito order his troops to not stop attacking at night? If so, they will meet our counterattack head-on.

!”

Tang Qiuli was horrified. Feng Jiwu reminded himself that Ito Yanzaburo was also one of the famous generals of the Japanese army. He had fought with the British and American Allied Forces in Australia for several years and had very rich experience. In addition, he had eaten his own food.

Unfortunately, if the attack is not stopped at night, this possibility definitely exists. If the counterattack collides with the Japanese attack, the battlefield will be very chaotic.

"Should we postpone the time to launch a counterattack?" Tang Qiuli thought rapidly, hesitating a little. Then, his hesitation was replaced by determination, and he said in a serious tone: "Jiwu, it is possible, but the time for counterattack remains unchanged.

, it is better to fight attack with attack than to attack the Japanese defense line!"

"It is a bit risky, but I believe in the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the soldiers. Defeating the Japanese army during the attack and causing them to lose the time to switch between offense and defense is the key to victory!"

In the afternoon, the Japanese attack was launched again. The Japanese army was determined to regain the time lost in the morning. The battle was bloody and fierce from the beginning. As night fell, the Japanese attack still did not stop. Feng Jiwu's

The premonition became reality. Outside the tent, the gunfire lit up the night sky.

Tang Qiuli half-closed his eyes, his face calm, and sat motionless on the canvas chair, listening to the sound of artillery ringing in the night sky outside. At about eleven o'clock in the night, there were continuous transmissions on the radio, armored troops from the brigades directly under the corps.

Telegrams from each brigade, as well as each artillery brigade, arriving at designated positions.

At around one o'clock in the morning, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe reported: "Division Commander, all the troops participating in the counterattack are in place and are launching one after another according to the order!"

"Very good!" Tang Qiuli suddenly opened his eyes, gleaming with cold light.

At this moment, General Ito was completely in a state of madness. He crippled one division and immediately ordered another division to attack. Then, he brought up the reserve division and prepared to take over the attack. MacDonnell Mountains

In the northern battlefield, on this night, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division and the Japanese Australian Front's middle attack force, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides, fought on a front of more than 100 kilometers, filled with smoke and bloody flesh.

General Ito was determined to break through the independent division's blocking position before dawn. To this end, he committed all the troops in the center.

At 3:30 in the morning, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came to Tang Qiuli and said, "Division Commander, the counterattack troops are all ready! The Niangziguan Garrison Corps troops have just repelled another Japanese attack!"
