    Xu Jiujiu frowned, looking at the night sky outside in deep thought.  Long before deciding to start the war, Xu Jiujiu had already expected that the attack on Chizhou would not go smoothly, but Xu Jiujiu still did not expect that this had just begun. This was just a cleaning operation of the peripheral fortifications, and the two main groups were responsible for the main attack.  We encountered great difficulties.  "Old Xu." Li Zihan walked up behind Xu Shijiu and said solemnly, "Another attack by the 4th Regiment was disrupted by Little Japan. The L Battalion and L Company were basically crippled, and the company commander Cao Xiaoming also died.  "Cao Xiaoming?" Xu Jiujiu turned around and stared at Li Zihan and asked, "Brother Cao Xinming?" Li Zihan nodded and said in a low voice: "Cao Xinming has three brothers, except his younger brother Cao Xiaoming, who is the company commander.  In addition, there is a second brother who is the battalion commander of the 40th Division. Yesterday, the 40th Division was almost defeated. His second brother's battalion was responsible for breaking up the rear, and the whole battalion was wiped out. His second brother also died in the battle. " Xu Shijiu said slightly.  Changes, the perception of Cao Xinming has also changed.  After thinking for a while, Xu Shijiu continued: "Yunguang Temple is so difficult to attack. It seems that the old Japanese Yoshikawa has transferred his main force to Yunguang Temple." "It should be." Li Zihan nodded and said, "According to  The forward observation post reported that after Little Japan received reinforcements, its firepower intensity was brutal. Taking position No. 9 as an example, in a width of less than 100 meters, Little Japan concentrated more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, plus ten additional machine guns.  "A few mortars." Gao Shenxing also came over and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this old Japanese soldier Yoshikawa is not stupid. He has already determined that our main attack direction is Yunguang Temple." Xu Shijiu gritted his teeth.  He said ferociously: "Then we will open another main attack direction." Xu Jiujiu never believed that the Japanese UR Division had just participated in the battles of Changheng and Liugui. How much combat effectiveness could they have? Their personnel  There was no time to replenish supplies, supplies, and equipment. Now that such intensive firepower is being strengthened to Yunguang Temple, the other directions will definitely become extremely weak. At that moment, Xu Jiujiu ordered Gao Shenxing: "Old Gao, order the l regiment to go to Juan."  I will launch an attack on the Juanqiao Bridge, and then notify the artillery battalion, telling me not to save artillery shells, but first plow the Juanqiao stronghold with artillery fire, and then use artillery fire to completely block the road between Juanqiao Bridge and Yunguang Temple at all costs.  Let¡¯s see what other tricks the old Japanese soldier Yoshikawa can use.¡± (Dividing line) Fan Xiaoha once again entered Li Shuangqiang¡¯s regiment headquarters and said, ¡°Regiment leader, how long will it take?¡± ¡°What are you so anxious about?¡±  "Li Shuangqiang raised his head and glanced at Fan Xiaoha, and said, "You will fight the battle. The little Japan in Chizhou has an entire division, and if the situation becomes unfavorable, the little Japan in Anqing, Hefei, and Wuhu may come to reinforce it. You  Are you still worried about not having a fight?  " Fan Xiaoha rubbed his hands and said, "You are worried when you see the fat meat right in front of you, but you can't bite it.  " Li Shuangqiang snorted and said: "Xiaoha, I can tell you, you have to take it easy. The Japanese U Pei Regiment is a field division after all, and it is not comparable to those of the military police. Don't be careless.  " "No way.  Fan Xiaoha said with a smile, "You still don't know what kind of person I am?"  "    "okay.  "Li Shuangqiang waved his hand and said, "Go back to your battalion headquarters quickly. I heard that the fight at Yunguang Temple is not going well. Maybe our side will have to take action soon.  " "Regiment seat, regimental seat" Li Shuangqiang had just finished speaking, and the adjutant hurriedly walked in and reported, "The commander has given the order, ordering us to attack Juanqiao immediately.  "    "knew.  "Li Shuangqiang nodded and said to Fan Xiaoha, "Xiaoha, it's up to you now.  "Yes," Fan Xiaoha straightened up and said loudly, "I'll take a look at the regiment. Before midnight tonight, our L Battalion will definitely capture the Juanqiao Bridge." After saying that, Fan Xiaoha turned around and ran away.  (Dividing line) Duzi is squatting on the top of a hill, smoking an old cigarette leisurely.  Today, Dauzi's artillery battalion has been expanded to nine artillery companies, including four 92 infantry artillery companies, each company is equipped with six 70mm caliber Japanese 92 infantry guns; four mortar companies, each company is equipped with  Nine mm-caliber Japanese-made mortars; in addition, there is a heavy artillery battery equipped with four 75mm-caliber mountain howitzers and two 10m-caliber field howitzers.  These two 75mm caliber mountain cannons and a 10m caliber field gun were exchanged by Xu Shijiu from the Ninth War Zone with 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 50 light and heavy machine guns. The Ninth War Zone won the third Changsha Battle and captured  There are many Japanese artillery pieces, most of which have been damaged and cannot be used.  Xue Yue originally planned to dismantle these cannons and use them as materials, so he fully agreed to Xu Jiujiu's offer of exchanging bullets for cannons.  After all, these cannons are just waste to the Ninth War Zone.  But for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it was a treasure, because after three years of bleak management, the Longkou Industrial Arsenal now had a strong  Firearms and artillery repair capabilities?? After repairs, a total of more than a dozen 92 infantry guns, light mortars, 75mm caliber mountain guns and 10m caliber field guns can be reused. Duzi's artillery battalion was expanded to nine companies. Although it is still a battalion now,  Although he has been living for a long time, he has actually lived the life of a group leader.  In order to cooperate with the main force in the attack on Chizhou, the four mortar companies of the artillery battalion have been separated and assigned to the four main regiments respectively. The remaining four 92nd infantry artillery companies and heavy artillery companies are near Xiaotangshan.  An artillery position was built, and now the artillery battalion of the 19th detachment was finally able to carry out cluster artillery attacks.  Looking back, I saw cannons like giant beasts crouching under the night sky, especially the four 75mm caliber mountain howitzers and two 10m caliber field howitzers at the back, with their slender barrels pointing straight into the night sky.  , the calf was extremely ecstatic to see it.  The only thing that makes Duzi a little unhappy is that until now, his artillery battalion has not had a chance to participate in the battle.  Although the battle at Yunguang Temple was fierce, Xu Jiujiu did not involve Dazi's artillery battalion. The only one who participated in the attack was probably the mortar company attached to the 4th Regiment, and it was said that the fighting was not very good. This made  Duzi felt his face was dull.  When Duzi was unhappy, Yang Laoshi ran up the hill in a hurry.  "Battle base, commander, the commander has given an order." Yang Laoshi ran, panting and shouting, "The commander has given an order, ordering our artillery battalion to prepare for artillery fire on the little Japanese Juanqiao stronghold." "Really?" Du Ziwen  Yan was overjoyed, and immediately stood up and patted his butt, and said loudly, "Damn it, today I'm going to let little Japan see the power of our Chinese artillery." A moment later, rows of artillery shells roared from the Xiaotangshan artillery position.  Then it took off, and after flying over a distance of about four or five kilometers, it descended towards Little Japan's Juanqiao stronghold. Then there were continuous violent explosions, and the Juanqiao stronghold was soon completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke.  (Dividing line) Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi was not sleepy, so he went to the forward observation post in person to learn about the war situation.  Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi was holding a telescope to observe the boiling battlefield in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a faint red light flashing on the right side. Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi was startled and hurriedly turned the telescope to look to the left. He was surprised.  Suddenly, he discovered that clusters of red light had bloomed in the direction of Juanqiao.  Hashimoto, who was standing behind Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi, also noticed the situation at the same time and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency General, it seems that the Juanqiao stronghold is also attacked by the Chinese army." Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi did not say anything, but quickly adjusted.  After the telescope's field of view became clear, Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. In his field of vision, he saw that the Juanqiao stronghold had been completely enveloped by the flames and gunpowder smoke generated by the explosion.  This is obviously the artillery preparation of the Chinese army. Judging from the intensity of the firepower, at least two artillery brigades are participating in the cluster bombardment. Otherwise, this effect is impossible. The question is, when did the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have such powerful artillery?  Now the imperial army can actually implement artillery fire coverage?  At this time, Hashimoto also adjusted the focus of the telescope. After seeing it clearly, Major Hashimoto was even more surprised and exclaimed: "Your Excellency, General, the artillery regiment of the 40th Division of the China Central Army has moved to Juanqiao so quickly.  How is this possible? "Hashimoto had never thought that the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would have such a large artillery force, so he instinctively mistook this powerful artillery group for the 40th Division's artillery regiment.  "No, this is not the artillery regiment of the 40th China Division." Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi shook his head and said solemnly, "This is the artillery group of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the artillery group of the Southern Anhui Tiger" "What? Southern Anhui  The artillery group of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army? "Hashimoto said solemnly.  "Order." Yoshikawa Yoshiyoshi immediately called the adjutant over and ordered, "The Yamaguchi Brigade immediately rushed to the rescue of the Juanqiao stronghold."  Another battle line has been opened in the direction of Juanqiao. Although the fortifications at the Juanqiao stronghold are also very strong, the defenders only have one infantry squadron after all. If reinforcements are not sent, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend for a long time.
