Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 995 Take action

In order to capture Xiyun Peak and capture Duyun City today, Yamashita Fengwen adopted crazy measures and personally served as the captain of the Fengyong Team. When those young Japanese soldiers saw their commander wearing the same attire as themselves, they

Faced with the bullets of the Chinese soldiers like myself, everyone was moved to tears.

The Japanese soldiers, filled with the spirit of Bushido and determined to devote themselves to His Majesty the Emperor, looked at Yamashita Fengfumi with ardent eyes and reverence while shouting enthusiastically, "Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Waves of voices rose up,

At this moment, the lives of these cannon fodders no longer belong to them, and the scene is quite tragic.

These Japanese brave team members who were inspired by Yamashita Fengwen to be unafraid of death are a terrifying force. Once released, it will be extremely difficult for the Japanese brigade defenders on Xiyun Peak to resist. Yamashita Fengwen is very satisfied with this.

In the atmosphere, those old and cunning senior Japanese officers who followed Yamashita Fengwen had their own thoughts. What they felt was not excitement or resignation, but a kind of frustration and humiliation.

An army commander with more than 90,000 troops was forced to adopt such a method to inspire the fighting spirit and courage of the soldiers to go into battle. This can only show that Commander Fengwen Yamashita was at the end of his rope and had no other choice.

After entering the attack position, the Japanese artillery began shelling.

This artillery bombardment was larger than any other. All the Japanese artillerymen participated. Yamashita's order to the artillery troops was to shoot every shell around you with hatred and conquest of the Chinese**

, bombard it!

The shells fired by the Japanese artillery fell on the Xiyunfeng position like meteors all over the sky. The originally fresh morning air in southern Guizhou was immediately filled with the choking smell of gunpowder smoke. The violent explosions shook the earth and the earth, and Xiyunfeng was like a sudden explosion in a violent storm.

The small boat trembled in trembling and rocked in trembling.

Chi Zifeng could no longer hear what the staff officers around him were saying. Even on the reverse slope of Xiyun Peak, where Japanese artillery shells could not land, Chi Zifeng felt like he was rocking on a bumpy boat and stayed at the main position of Xiyun Peak.

After finishing the observation post, he realized that the little Japs were crazy. Today might be the most critical day. I hope I can get through it. Damn it, I will fight! The worst is death, and I can get a few more Japs to back me up.

Guo Huawen, who was in Duyun City, looked at Xiyun Peak shrouded in thick smoke like boiling water with the same serious face. The Japanese army's artillery fire was so fierce and the number of artillerymen was beyond his expectation. He was very disappointed with himself.

The tactics of using a heavy artillery regiment to carry out artillery surprise aroused doubts.

The number of artillery was almost twenty to one. After pondering for a moment, Guo Huawen finally made up his mind. He picked up the phone and said, "Heavy artillery regiment, according to the established plan, immediately attack the Japanese artillery. Remember, after the artillery shells are fired, evacuate immediately."

Position." He knew that after this order was issued, there would be no heavy artillery regiment on the Duyun defense line.

During the attack on Xiyun Peak for more than ten days, no artillery from the Chinese army showed up. When the Japanese artillery troops first entered the position, they still built decent backup and fake positions. But later, these were no longer needed. The Chinese army did not

The artillerymen just followed orders every day and fired artillery shells into the Chinese government army positions on the opposite side.

In the northwest corner of Duyun, on the position of the Central Army's Heavy Artillery Regiment, dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery slowly raised their thick muzzles. The small red flag in the commander's hand suddenly fell, "Boom, boom, boom," the gun

A stream of green smoke came out of the mouth, and huge metal projectiles pierced the air and flew towards the Japanese artillery position.

The Japanese artillerymen, who were working happily, suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the sky above their heads. They looked up in confusion. Their faces turned pale at that time. They were all experts. From the scream of the artillery shells cutting through the air,

You can tell that it is the sound of large-caliber artillery shells about to fall.

"The enemy is shelling, take cover quickly," a hoarse shout came from the Japanese artillery position. The only Japanese artillerymen who had ever fired artillery shells at the squadron's position did not expect that a tiger emerged from the secret and bit them hard.

One mouthful, concealed, to put it lightly, people can run away, but can a heavy cannon run away?

The artillery target chosen by the Central Army's heavy artillery regiment was the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, which was also the greatest threat to the Xiyunfeng position. Artillery shells fell in groups. The arrogant Japanese artillery finally tasted the feeling of being shelled. The fire was shining.

Shrapnel flew across the sky, and clouds of smoke bloomed on the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese heavy artillery soldiers, who had never thought that shells would fall on their heads, were caught off guard. They fell over and were killed by a series of exploding shells. Amidst the loud noises that shook the earth and the mountains, the Japanese heavy artillery was blown into a pile.

Stacking parts, it was not until the third wave of shells fell that the Japanese artillery hurriedly organized a counterattack.

The heavy artillery of the Central Army and the heavy artillery of the Japanese army broke out, the first large-scale artillery battle since the Battle of Duyun. One side responded in a hurry, while the other side held back for a long time. The momentum was different. Guo Huawen was very pleased that

, the heavy artillery regiment soldiers from Liu Zhi's direct unit, the 11th Army, did not panic and run away when the Japanese artillery shells fell on their heads, as he expected.

These soldiers of the Central Army showed good military qualities. Even though the heavy artillery was bombarded by the Japanese artillery shells as dense as locusts, the artillery and the soldiers next to it were drowned in the smoke and rain of bullets. As long as they were not bombarded,

The artillery destroyed by the Japanese artillery shells was fired, and every artillery shell around it was hit.

Compared with the bloody scenes of infantry fighting at hand-to-hand combat, the artillery battle was less intuitive but equally brutal. The artillery battle lasted for a full hour and a half. All the artillery of the 11th Group Army Heavy Artillery Regiment was destroyed, and more than four-fifths of the personnel were injured.

The price was such that the Japanese heavy artillery brigade suffered heavy losses, which was equivalent to knocking out Yamashita Fengwen's sharpest teeth and pulling out the nail that threatened the defenders of the Xiyunfeng position the most.

This was a sudden artillery battle that was beyond Yamashita Fengfumi's expectations. It disrupted his entire deployment. The originally scheduled four-hour saturation artillery bombardment was not even completed for half an hour. The rest of the time was spent fighting with the Chinese government.

The army's artillery engaged in a battle, and the losses were considerable, especially the heavy artillery brigade, the weapon of his attack, which suffered the greatest losses and could not even afford the artillery cover and suppression during the attack.

Yamashita Fengfumi and all the senior officers of the Japanese army, as well as more than 5,000 members of the Japanese brave team, witnessed this fierce artillery battle. They watched the brave imperial artillery that had been unscrupulously pouring artillery shells on the Chinese government army positions.

Under the shells, it turned into a pile of minced meat, and the heavy artillery turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The accumulated momentum was falling back little by little. This was a psychological change that could not be seen, but it could affect the fighting will of the Japanese Fengyong team members. Yamashita Fengfumi clearly felt this. The Fengyong team had lost most of its effect, and suddenly

The Chinese artillery appeared and gave him a blow on the head. He was extremely disappointed and angry, and Yamashita Fengwen's temples were beating loudly.

He turned his eyes fiercely to Major General Ono, the head of the Military Intelligence Headquarters, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Ono-kun, can you tell me? Where did the Chinese government army get its artillery from?" Poor Major General Ono, and Yamashita

Feng Wen was equally surprised. Who could have imagined that the Chinese only brought out their artillery at this time.

"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the information from the Intelligence Department, this time the Chinese government troops used heavy artillery, with a scale of...," Ono said incoherently. Isn't this nonsense? Even an ordinary soldier knows that, and it is still used

A major general from the intelligence chief came to answer, "Baga, get out!" Yamashita Fengfumi burst out directly.

If Ono was not a general, Yamashita Fengfumi would kill this bastard with a knife. The chief of staff came to ask for instructions whether to launch an attack immediately. Yamashita Fengfumi sighed and said: "Continue to bombard the Chinese government army positions, and then launch a conventional attack." The Fengyong team has lost

As a result, the Chinese soldiers used artillery shells to break their will.

A battle that Yamashita Fengwen was determined to win was forced to end because of a bold and risky move by Guo Huawen. The Army Brigade on Xiyun Peak invisibly resolved the biggest crisis. Brigadier Chi Zifeng first felt it

At this point, the Japanese artillery only fired for less than half an hour before it suddenly stopped.

Next, although the artillery fire continued and was quite intense, few of the Japs' shells fell on the position. Chi Zifeng came to his own judgment and said to the Chief of Staff: "Old man, it seems that the Japs are not here."

How much stamina is there? Without these artillery, we are not afraid of the little devil’s infantry. Please convey my order and I will give these sons of bitches a good beating in a moment.”

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Chu Tian reported the news about the artillery battle at Xiyun Peak to Tang Qiuli. At this time, Tang Qiuli was on a mountain peak less than thirty kilometers away from Duyun, and could already vaguely hear Duyun.

Hearing the thunderous sound of artillery in the direction, Tang Qiuli said nothing after reading Chutian's telegram, but muttered in his heart, "It's a risk, but it's worth it."

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Tang Qiuli received the second telegram, which was about the Japanese attack on Guiyang. The battle of Guiyang finally started, and Juichi Terauchi did not disappoint him.

Immediately, Tang Qiuli issued a combat order, "Assemble the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th brigades of the Longquan Direct Corps on the right wing of Duyun, and immediately launch an attack on the Yamashita Fengwen Department of the 15th Japanese Army in the direction of Duyun, hiding in Duyun."

The 9th and 10th brigades near the mountain, under the command of Chief of Staff Chang Feng, quickly captured Dushan and cut off the Japanese army's retreat. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th brigades on the left wing paid close attention to the Japanese army in the direction of Guiyang."

Tang Qiuli commanded more than 100,000 troops, and finally took action against Yamashita Fengwen's 15th Army. No one expected that the ** division troops attacked Yamashita Fengwen's headquarters, but created a hornet's nest. A local battle, and as the

More and more Japanese troops came to rescue Yamashita Fengfumi, and it almost became a decisive battle with the Japanese Southern Expeditionary Force.
