"Mr. Lu, a Japanese reconnaissance plane was discovered in western Liaoning?"
"Is it a sudden additional patrol, or is it a normal routine patrol?" Lu Shan raised his head and asked.
"According to the intelligence we have, this should be a routine patrol, not a temporary one!"
"Tell Zhang Zuozhou to pay attention to the enemies in the sky and not be careless!" Lu Shan thought for a while and ordered.
"yes!"
"They can reach Dahu Mountain by tonight at the latest. Are there enough carriages to transport troops?" Lu Shan continued to ask.
"Some will take trains, some will ride horses and cars, and heavy equipment will take railways. According to the current speed, the troops can arrive at Dahu Mountain early tomorrow morning!"
"Well, this time we are attacking quickly to catch the Japanese off guard, so I tell the soldiers that they must overcome physical and mental fatigue, quickly seize the node, and buy time for the large forces to regain Rehe!" Lu Shan ordered road.
"yes!"
The 181st Division marched quickly along the Dazheng Line, and the train capacity was limited. If so many soldiers, horses, weapons and ammunition were to be transported step by step, it would take at least three days. Now this time has been compressed into half a day and one night!
That¡¯s about eighteen hours!
So the Logistics Department collected a large number of horse-drawn carriages in Kulun as means of transportation, and marched south along the railway line!
"Hurry, hurry, we must arrive before dark, everyone, work harder"
"Deputy Commander Zhang, telegram from President Lu!"
"Pay attention to the Japanese reconnaissance planes. You know it. Call the headquarters and tell them that we will pay attention. We won't let the Japanese reconnaissance planes find it!" Zhang Zuozhou jumped out of the car and gave most of the means of transportation to him. Brigade and Third Brigade. Because these two brigades will be responsible for more important battles, he led the second brigade behind, and some of them were using a pair of iron feet to drive!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What are you really talking about? As soon as Zhang Zuozhou finished speaking, he heard the roar of an airplane motor coming from the horizon.
"Hidden, hidden!"
The 181st Division is the elite of the Eastern Anti-Japanese War and is well-trained. You have your own way of avoiding enemy planes and hiding yourself. Without air superiority, you can only work on stealth.
"If it were any other army, it would have been chaotic. But Dongkang is different. They can quickly find a place to hide and hide themselves. There is no way to avoid it. For example, carriages and cars also quickly put on disguises.
In the blink of an eye, an army of thousands of people disappeared out of thin air without making any sound.
Of course, if you stand on the ground, you can still see clearly. But on a plane, at an altitude of several hundred meters, it is difficult to see clearly.
A Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over the army, circled overhead for a few times, and then flew away.
"You damn little devil. When we have the air force, let's see if you can still be arrogant!" Zhang Zuozhou got up from the ground. He took off his camouflage clothes and cursed at the Japanese reconnaissance plane disappearing into the sky!
"Quick, get up and keep walking!"
In Montenegro, Lin Nan led the first brigade to arrive first. Their goal is to occupy Dahu Mountain and open up a way forward for the follow-up troops!
"Dahu Mountain is the junction point of the Dazheng Line and the Fengshan Line. Occupying Dahu Mountain is equivalent to cutting off the Fengshan Line. The Japanese in Fengtian will not be able to take the train to move westward quickly. Therefore, we must quickly occupy Dahu Mountain." Mountain!" Lin Nan held a temporary pre-war meeting.
¡°Brigadier Commander, we are familiar with the terrain of Dahu Mountain, and capturing it is not a problem!¡±
"I also know that there is no problem. The Japanese army in Dahu Mountain is only a squadron, and the other ones are the railway police. We have thousands of troops in a brigade. If we can't take down a Dahu Mountain, it's unreasonable!" Lin Nan took a The group leader Yi Tianhua said, "But how to capture Dahu Mountain at the minimum cost is what we have to do!"
"Brigadier Commander, once the battle at Dahu Mountain begins, won't our target be exposed?"
"It's certain to be exposed. We can't hide it forever, so we have to quickly capture Dahu Mountain, and then go north along the Fengshan Line overnight to capture Xinmin!" Lin Nandao.
"Continuous fighting is very taxing on the mental and physical strength of the soldiers, and Xinmin is stationed with a Japanese brigade and a Japanese cavalry squadron, as well as puppet troops and military airports. Once they are prepared, it will be difficult for us to capture them?" Zong Shoudao, the commander of the third regiment.
"What do you propose?"
"Why don't we use the method of encirclement and reinforcements?" Zong Shoudao, the commander of the third regiment, "We send a small number of troops to surround Dahu Mountain and induce the Japanese army to send reinforcements. We can eat their reinforcements. Once they arriveTo reduce the resistance to fighting below us, it can be regarded as the elimination of the effective strength of the Japanese army! "
"In this way, won't our combat intentions be exposed to the Japanese army?"
"I don't think so. First of all, the Japanese army doesn't know that we have entered their hinterland, and we don't need to use our banner. In this way, the Japanese army's judgment will inevitably be biased. We will use this to lure them Come out and eat it!" said the third regiment leader Zong Shou with his eyes shining brightly.
"Brigadier Commander, I think Commander Zong's proposal is very good. Anyway, as long as we fight, the Japanese will definitely know about it. But if we use this opportunity to eat some of the nearby Japanese reinforcements, it will be very important for us to complete the headquarters next." The task of occupying nodes is quite helpful!" Yi Tianhua, the leader of the first regiment, agreed.
"No matter what, we have to attack Dahu Mountain. It only takes one fight. The Japanese troops in Dahu Mountain cannot stop them. We must ask for help from the nearby Japanese troops. We are just stalling for time to create an opportunity for reinforcements. Isn¡¯t it?¡±
"I also agree to support!"
"Anyone who agrees to gather around the spot to support us, please raise your hands!"
Almost everyone raised their right hand!
"It seems that everyone has the same opinion, so I will report it to Deputy Commander Zhang and ask him to agree to our change of combat plan!" Lin Nandao.
"Whether you adopt the original plan or the current plan, go back and prepare for battle!"
"Surround the point for reinforcements, Chief of Staff, what do you think?" After receiving Lin Nan's telegram, Zhang Zuozhou called Chief of Staff Wang Qing over.
"The Japanese army still doesn't know what we are and what we are. If we use this method to lure out the Japanese in these places and annihilate them, this will only do us good and not bad!" Wang Qing thought about it carefully and said.
"But will this expose my goal?"
"It won't happen for a while, it depends on what identity Brigadier Lin uses. If he uses the 181st Dongkang Division, the Japanese will definitely not send troops to rescue easily, but what if he uses another identity?" Wang Qingxiao asked.
"The importance of Dahu Mountain is self-evident. Once it is occupied by us, it will cut off the connection between Fengtian and Jinzhou. The Japanese army will definitely not sit back and watch Dahu Mountain be occupied. But it is difficult to say how many Japanese soldiers will be attracted. Well, although Xinmin is the nearest place where the Japs are stationed, the Japs may also dispatch troops from Jinzhou to support them?" Zhang Zuozhou said.
"According to common sense, it is fastest to mobilize reinforcements from the Xinmin people. There is no need for the Japanese to abandon the near and seek the far away, right?" Wang Qing said.
"That's right. Then let's change the plan according to Brigadier Lin's opinion, right?" Zhang Zuozhou said.
"Old Zhang. Should we ask the headquarters for instructions? After all, the previous plan was approved by the headquarters. If we change the plan, we will be informed, right?" Wang Qing reminded.
"Yes, it's time to ask for permission!"
"This is Zhang Zuozhou. What does he want to do? The headquarters is only responsible for assigning tasks. How to complete the tasks is his business. Why does he ask for instructions on everything?" Lu Shan said with a helpless smile after receiving the telegram.
"It's a very important matter. Lao Zhang asked for instructions because he hopes we can check it for him. If there is no problem, what's the point of giving instructions?" Qin Shiyu said.
"I know, you are the only one with more reasons!"
"I tell you, it's normal to ask for instructions. It's abnormal not to ask for instructions. This is a philosophy!" Qin Shiyu said with a smile.
"Philosophy, what philosophy, officialdom philosophy?"
"You're right, this is the philosophy of officialdom!" Qin Shiyu nodded, "The official is most afraid that his subordinates will forget him and let the people below him do everything. As a superior, he Isn¡¯t it dispensable?¡±
"This is called seeking political power in one's position, having to do everything by hand, and it will also make subordinates lose initiative in doing things. This lack of initiative is no different from a puppet on a string"
"Boom!"
Before Lu Shan could finish his words, a violent sound came. Although the sound sounded a little distant, the ground under his feet shook slightly.
"It's close, it's close"
When the smoke dissipated, Lin Fang looked forward with a gray face. The first shell did not hit the city wall at all, but hit the root of the city wall.
But the power of this cannonball was not small, it smashed a big hole in the base of the city wall, and the air wave generated by the explosion caused the entire city wall to shake violently!
The Japanese troops on the city wall were staggering one by one, like drunken men, spinning in place like tops.
"Baga, what's going on?" Miyamoto, who came to the city gate headquarters in person, was repeatedly shocked and wasAll of a sudden, he slipped from the Taishi chair to the ground and fell!
¡°Sir, what¡¯s wrong, the Chinese got a heavy artillery piece from nowhere and are shelling our city wall!¡±
"Nani?" Miyamoto jumped up from the ground in shock, and rushed out as quickly as a monkey!
"Sir, look, where is that man's heavy artillery!"
"What, it's actually" Seeing the so-called "heavy artillery", Miyamoto felt like he was struck by lightning for a moment.
It is actually an old antique from who knows how many years ago. However, it is undeniable that this large-caliber artillery has huge destructive power on the city wall, if it can continue to fire cannonballs!
"Quick, shoot, fire, don't let them fire again!" Thinking of the consequences of breaking the city, Miyamoto ordered like crazy.
"Hai!"
"Lin Fang, the Japs have discovered us. Fire quickly. The Japs are condescending and their shells can easily hit us!" Yao Zishan said anxiously.
"Wait a minute, we are loading gunpowder, cover us!" Lin Fang's eyes turned red because the first shell actually hit a little closer because of the increased gunpowder!
After nervous loading, Lin Fang lit the fuse on the barrel!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The orange fire flashed at the muzzle, and a huge black projectile flew towards the city wall!
Boom!
There was a violent sound, the cannonball directly hit the city wall, and then exploded. In an instant, the bricks and stones were splashed, and the city wall shook violently. Then only a huffing sound was heard, dust and smoke were everywhere, and the city wall that was more than ten meters long exploded. Fell down!
"Brothers, come with me!" Yao Zishan pulled out his gun and led his troops towards the gap without hesitation.
