I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 630: The Sorrow of Zhongtiao Mountain (3) The Guerrilla Division’s New Artillery Arrives, an

In order to show his importance, Division Commander Fan Haer specially sent his chief of staff Hong Lin to pick up Captain Li.

He came to the Dayu Valley Guerrilla Division and greeted them warmly.

“Hahaha, I’m Honglin, the chief of staff of Division Commander Fan. Thank you to the brothers from the guerrilla division for your help.

As long as we have these heavy artillery to fight tanks, we will no longer be afraid of those Japanese iron lumps.

Brother Li, Brother Zhao, in order to move those heavy artillery, I have mobilized a whole battalion of Sichuan troops!

Hey, brothers, where did you hide those heavy artillery?"

Heavy artillery? What heavy artillery?

Captain Li and Captain Zhao looked at each other.

Captain Li took an "iron pipe" from the shoulder of a soldier and laughed twice.

“Chief of Staff Hong, the heavy artillery you mentioned might be this treasure.

A weapon specially designed to attack tanks and bunkers, the RPG-7 shoulder-fired rocket..."

Hey, why does Chief of Staff Hong's face start to turn dark?

Chief of Staff Hong: I am not well educated, you can't lie to me.

Before coming here, Commander Fan said that the artillery provided by the Gannan Artillery Division this time would be heavy artillery specifically designed to attack tanks.

Suo Wuxing: When did I say I would give you heavy artillery? And ten heavy artillery at once?

Fan Haer: Isn’t artillery that can hit tanks considered heavy artillery?

Everyone knew that a misunderstanding might have occurred, but no one knew where it went wrong.

Faced with this situation, several people felt somewhat embarrassed.

Just as the three of them were pondering their words, the battlefield south of Zhongtiao Mountain suddenly became lively.

Looking from afar at the Central Army's positions, it had already become a mess.

Although the sound of dense gunfire was not clear, the red lines of the bullet trajectories and the flames of the exploding shells were audible.

There were also flares shooting straight into the sky, and they could all be seen clearly from this side.

Chief of Staff Hong slapped his thigh and said, "It's bad, the Japanese have launched a surprise attack on the southern line of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Judging from this movement, the Japs seem to be planning something big, could it be a strategic general offensive? No, I have to rush back to the division headquarters."

Battalion Commander Zhao was observing with a telescope, and an observation post had already come back to report.

"Report to the battalion commander, the sentry ahead has sent back a message.

He saw more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers had rushed into Dayu Valley.

Leading the way were six Type 94 tanks of the Japanese devils.

Captain Zhao: "How far is it from here?"

The observation post looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "According to the time, their infantry is still two kilometers away from here."

The tanks must be waiting for the infantry to attack together, they cannot be without the cover of the infantry.

Otherwise, your tanks will soon be destroyed by the enemy's infantry.

When Chief of Staff Hong heard that there was still time, he immediately returned to the division headquarters to prepare for defense.

Battalion Commander Zhao quickly asked the communications staff to pass on the intelligence they had discovered about the Japanese attack to the Artillery Marine Division headquarters.

Zha looked up and saw Chief of Staff Hong, who was about to return to the headquarters of their 265th Division, so he stopped him directly.

"Staff Officer Hong, you can't just leave like this now!

If the Japanese attack force attacks from Dayu Valley all the way south.

There is no defense on your flank at all. If you continue fighting like this, the entire northern line will be wiped out.

Although Chief of Staff Honglin of the 265th Division had never heard of the military term "push".

However, he was also able to understand the meaning of Captain Zhao's words from the literal meaning of "push".

Chief of Staff Hong asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Captain Zhao, the situation is urgent now, do you have anything else to say?"

Captain Zhao: "We can't let the Japanese get through. We must stop them here.

Otherwise, both of our positions will be in danger of being lost."

Chief of Staff Hong: "Just now your observation post said that there are more than 10,000 Japanese here, including six small tanks.

Do you think we only have more than a thousand people here and can stop the Japanese here?"

Captain Zhao: "First, the Japanese didn't expect that we would have an ambush here.

Another thing is that the terrain here is good, especially suitable for blocking, so the advantage is mine."

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Hong scratched his head. He really couldn't understand.

He was transferred to the 265th Division later. He did not catch up when the Sichuan Army was in Shandong.

He had only heard about the glorious moment of the Qianli Campaign in Shanxi, but had never experienced it personally.

But he was also a general who could fight, otherwise Deng Beihou would not have transferred him all the way from Sichuan.

"Then fight. As long as we can help Commander Fan and buy more time to deploy defenses, that's all."

Captain Zhao: "That's good. I'll let Captain Li go with you to the other side and support you with a company of infantry.

If we win this battle, we will bring honor to our ancestors. If we fail, we will all go to see our ancestors together."

Chief of Staff Hong laughed and thought to himself that these idiots from Gannan were not reliable at all. Why did they have so many jokes?

But now is not the time to chat or gossip, he has to seize every second.

In just over three minutes, a company of infantry from the Marine Brigade followed Chief of Staff Hong and Company Commander Li to the opposite slope.

When he returned to his side, he had already seen the professionalism of these soldiers from the Artillery Marine Brigade.

They reached the top of the slope on their side and immediately put down everything they had on them.

Everyone held either a pickaxe or an engineer shovel in their hands and began to dig trenches on the top of the slope.

Because the soil on the mountain here is easier to dig, in a short time, heavy machine gun bunkers, anti-artillery trenches and anti-artillery holes were all ready.

Captain Li's men were also busy.

They were carrying two large sacks and placing unknown things on both sides of the road along the valley floor.

Just as they had finished getting ready, they heard the sound of a tank generator coming from a distance.

After a while, two bright car lights shone onto the mountain road from a distance.

They had seen that there was a tank moving every thirty meters.

On both sides and at the rear of the tanks, the Japanese soldiers were lined up in four columns and were following quickly.

If you walk another 500 meters from Chief of Staff Hong and his men's position, you will find a gentle slope there.

And that gentle slope was just right for the Japanese tanks to drive up to the high ground.

The entire flank of the Zhongtiao Mountain Army's defense line will be completely exposed to the Japanese's guns.

The chief of staff cursed in his heart, thinking that the Japanese were still determined to destroy us.

This gentle slope leading to the Sichuan Army's flank is still very hidden.

This is something that only the locals who have lived here for many years can understand.

It seems that the Japanese scouts have known about this secret road for a long time.

It was only during this year or so that General Wei's precautions were very strict.

The National Army did not expose its weaknesses to the Japanese.

The Japanese pretended not to know this road and kept silent about it.

But the Japanese army was staring at this place like a poisonous snake, waiting for the best opportunity to come.

If it weren't for the Minister of Defense who came to Zhongtiao Mountain to interfere, how could this flaw have been exposed?

Alas, Commander Fan has already borrowed the Marine Brigade’s radio to notify them to come for support.

Now, the Sichuan Army and Major General Xie’s four divisions should not suffer too much loss.
