"Yes." After Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi stood side by side and saluted, they each led their entourage and turned around.
Three people were on the city gate upstairs last night. They talked about the battle of Hangu Pass for the 500 Army and stayed up very late. Gao Quan looked at the backs of the two people leaving in a daze for a while. Then he said in a deep voice: "Order Brigadier Liu of the Independent Brigade and Commander Jin of the Armored Corps to immediately launch an attack from behind the Japanese aggressors."
It's already dawn. The battle outside Lingbao must begin. Gao Quan doesn't want to receive any more help telegrams from Ma Fawu. Cao Bao promised to finish the job at dawn. Shouldn't it be finished now? Thinking of Cao Bao Bao Gaoquan walked down the tower. He wanted to see the progress of the engineering corps project.
"I want the engineering corps." Hangu Ancient Road is fifteen kilometers long. The engineering corps is working on that end. Gao Quan is here. It will take a lot of time to run over. The engineering corps has a wireless phone. It is convenient to contact them by phone. And fast.
"Cao Bao? How are you doing there?" Gao Quan asked directly about the progress as soon as the call was connected.
"Reporting to the military, the engineering regiment has been completed on time." Cao Bao on the other end of the phone sounded uncontrollably excited. "In addition, the officers and soldiers of our regiment unearthed many ancient warrior skeletons during the construction. Now those remains The bones have also been buried somewhere else. Some ancient weapons were excavated at the same time as the remains. Some of them can still be seen. I will take them over and ask the military commander to take a look."
"Don't let too many people know about this matter. Keep it confidential. Okay. Inform the soldiers to move to a safe place to rest. You can bring those things over here." I heard that Cao Bao buried mines and dug traps. He took out the treasure. Gao Quan's voice immediately dropped.
This is no joke. Sun Dianying dug up the tombs of Cixi and Qianlong and got the name of a thief. If people knew that Gao Quan had found treasures from the Hangu Pass ancient road, something might have happened. Well. Qianlong and Cixi were both from the Qing Dynasty. The ancient Hangu Pass Road has been around since the Warring States Period. Maybe among the treasures Cao Bao found were priceless treasures such as the sword used by Qin Shihuang and the sword used by King Huai of Chu. .
Gao Quan was waiting here for the engineer captain to deliver the treasure. At the same time, he was thinking about the battle between Liu Qi and Jin Hu outside Lingbao.
Somewhere outside Lingbao, behind a dense forest suddenly became lively. The roar of vehicles, people's shouts, and whistles. Various sounds were mixed together. It was not long. A strange-looking car came out from behind the woods. 's car.
The body is completely made of steel plates riveted together with rivets. The round heads of rivets can be seen everywhere on the body shell. Half-barrels of several machine guns are inserted into the top of the car. There is also a faint red circular mark printed on the body. It looks a bit like The logo of the Japanese army. However, next to the red circle is a fresh blue sky and white sun badge, indicating that this vehicle is actually a Japanese tank.
As this vehicle showed its face, more vehicles of all kinds came out of the woods. There were tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and supply vehicles. This was a complete armored force.
An infantry unit also came out at the same time as the armored unit. The number of infantry was much greater than the number of tanks. There were only a few dozen tanks and there were at least several thousand infantry. It can be seen just from the mental state of these soldiers. This is an elite force that has experienced many battles.
A group of mounted officers followed the police team out of the woods. A tank happened to be passing by on one side. The tankman on the tank turret was looking around with half of his body exposed. At a glance, he saw the group of mounted officers. The tankman waved. The arm said hello: "Brigadier Liu. I am Jin Hu. I am here."
"Jin Hu." Liu Qi, who was riding a horse, looked up several times before he saw the tank driver on the tank. "You have very sharp eyes. I didn't even see you. You saw me first."
"Brigadier Liu has a tall and straight posture. When he stands in the crowd, he stands out from the crowd. No matter how far away he is, he can still recognize him at a glance. How does he look like us? He is just an ordinary soldier. No matter how high he sits, Brigadier Liu can't be seen or seen. not see."
"You kid, if you dare to talk to me again, be careful and I'll beat you up." Liu Qi glared at Jin Hu and waved his fist at Jin Hu on the tank. Jin Hu shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything. "Hmph, I'm telling you. You ordered us both to attack the Japanese right now. Your tanks and self-propelled artillery will be the main force of this attack. Just be careful. Don¡¯t mess things up."
"Hey, don't worry. There will definitely be no problem with our work. Let's let your independent brigade artillery company come out and fight together." Jin Hu blinked his eyes. He looked at the troops of the independent brigade from beginning to end. No artillery was found.
"Don't look away. The artillery battery is behind you. As soon as you fire, my artillery battery will fire at the same time as you. I can't miss your business." Liu Qi pointed at Jin Hu and scolded him.
Jin Hu grinned and got into the tank. His medium tank Tongshan "Gala Gala" started to drive. The convoy behind him followed one after another.
Japanese army position. Lieutenant General Miura Saburo, commander of the Japanese 114th Division, has already commanded his men.It has been almost three days since an independent infantry brigade attacked Lingbao. It still has no intention of winning. Lingbao's defenders are too tenacious. Lieutenant General Miura's division has tried its best and failed to defeat Mafa. Wu and his Forty Army. And now the situation on the battlefield has appeared new and unfavorable to the Japanese army. The Chongqing Five Hundred Army seems to have attempted to join this battlefield.
"General, Ozawa's brigade has been defeated again." Major Masataka Kobayashi, the staff officer next to him, reported the latest situation to the general.
"Yes. Order Abe's battalion to take over Ozawa's battalion and continue the attack." Lieutenant General Miura issued a new combat order to Major Kobayashi with a serious face.
"Hi." Major Xiaolin nodded in agreement and ran to convey the order. He is a staff officer, not an infantry unit commander. He is only responsible for conveying orders to the infantry brigade commander who is going to the front line. As for the content of the order, it is not up to him. within the jurisdiction.
"Takatsu-kun, do you think the 500 Army will launch an attack today?" This is what Lieutenant General Miura is most worried about. Yesterday, I heard that the 500 Army was approaching the outskirts of Lingbao. I just don't know why they didn't launch an attack immediately. Miura Saburo wanted to ask his chief of staff, Colonel Yasuo Takatsu, for his opinion.
"General, I think the 500 Army will definitely attack today." Yasuo Takatsu was very sure. "I'm not sure why they didn't attack yesterday. But the 500 Army will definitely attack us today. Because that's the purpose of their coming here. Fight. If we don¡¯t attack today, then they wouldn¡¯t have come to Lingbao in the first place.¡±
"What Mr. Takatsu said makes sense." Lieutenant General Miura always trusted this resourceful chief of staff. Seeing that Colonel Takatsu said so surely, Miura Saburo was completely convinced that the 500 Army would launch an attack soon. "Ordered the Shibuya Brigade. , Sakaihara Battalion strengthens its defense. Orders Major Mipin¡¯s artillery unit to increase artillery strikes. Assist Abe¡¯s Battalion to attack with all its strength."
