Section 7 The Battle of Northern Hubei (10)

The sound of cannons was connected with the sound of cannons, and the smoke of gunpowder was so dense that people could not see three steps away. The explosion followed by the explosion, and even in the ears, the explosion spot could not be heard clearly. After three years of training and equipment, the firepower of the squadron had completely surpassed the Japanese army, and the current situation on the battlefield fully proved this point.

Mo Yushuo stood in the observation center, and the opposite position had been covered by artillery fire. For this attack, he concentrated more than 200 various artillery pieces. According to the infantry offensive tactical manual issued by the General Staff, he concentrated his firepower to bombard the eighty-meter breakthrough point. There were two artillery pieces per meter. Such firepower had never been in the squadron before.

Before the artillery fire could stop, two officers came in from the door: "Report to the commander, the 6th Battalion of Rocket Armors came to support us."

Mo Yushuo turned around and said, "Rocket launcher? I have heard of it. It is said that this thing is directly under the Central Military Commission."

"I'm afraid this is Mr. Ci was thinking about us." Chief of Staff Yang Botao smiled. The battlefield situation was very good, and it was easier to observe the generals in the office.

Yang Botao's words are true. The largest rocket launcher unit is the battalion. So far, there are only five war zones. Chiang Kai-shek assigned five battalions to Zhuang Jihua. This did not respond much to other generals, but Chen Cheng was a little dissatisfied. He used his power to transfer two battalions for the Ninth War Zone and two battalions for the command center of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"Report to the commander, Feng Jian, the commander of the 9th Battalion of the Special Artillery, was ordered to report." The officer behind him stepped forward and saluted.

Mo Yushuo looked at Feng Jian. Generally, the battalion commander is a major, but the battalion commander is a colonel. He nodded: "Col. Feng, I have heard of your things, but I have never seen them before. How many cannons do you have?"

Feng Jian smiled proudly: "It's hard to say how many doors you can see later."

"Okay, I must have a look at it. How much time do you need to prepare?"

"Ten minutes."

Mo Yushuo turned his head and said to Yang Botao: "Order the artillery to stop shooting eight minutes later, notify the frontline, and stop the artillery to stop shooting for the time being, wait, let them shout on the spot and shout hard. Colonel, it depends on yours next."

Mo Yushuo soon saw what Feng Jian's rocket launcher looked like. When the first explosion sounded, the earth was trembling, trembling continuously, and the explosion sounded. It was impossible to tell the explosion sound at all, and just felt the whole sky and the earth trembling.

Mo Yushuo and Yang Botao couldn't help but cover their heads with their hands and squat down. There was a whizzing sound of flying everywhere in the air, the space seemed to be split, and the sky seemed to collapse in the next moment. The heartbeat was accelerating, and blood couldn't help but surged up. Mo Yushuo opened his mouth to scream, but found that he couldn't scream anything and his throat seemed to be blocked.

It was like a thunder blew around, and it was like a heavy hammer hitting the heart. The heart seemed to jump out of the chest cavity. Almost everyone couldn't help but shrink their bodies together. The thunder became louder and louder, and it kept going. A wave of heat rushed over, and the temperature in the narrow space immediately rose. Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths and breathe. The burning heat slid into their lungs along their throats, and then continued to burn in their lungs.

A huge cloud of smoke rose from the ground, and the black smoke rolled into the sky, and the center kept spitting out the flames. Each rocket dragged the tongue of fire into the clouds, and then the earth shook, and the clouds were pushed higher.

Time stagnates, and only the burning high temperatures, the constant tumbling smoke and clouds, and the trembling of the earth.

From the first sound of cutting through the space to the point where everything calmed down, it was actually only seven or eight minutes, but Mo, Yang Botao and others felt that it seemed like a lifetime would last.

When the sound of cutting through the space calmed down, everyone stopped blankly, silent, deadly silence. Whether it was the bombarded Japanese troops or the Chinese soldiers preparing to launch an attack, everyone stared at the tumbling black clouds.

"Charge! Charge!"

There was a howl in the observation center. Mo Yushuo bounced up from the ground, rushed to the phone, grabbed the phone, and shouted loudly at the microphone regardless of who was opposite.

Perhaps it was because of Mo Yushuo's cry, or perhaps it was because the frontline officers and soldiers reacted, without a war of roar or shouting, a group of gray figures rushed into the clouds of smoke and clouds, and the gunshots rang out sparsely. Not long after, a blue sky and white sun flag appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds.

"Commander, what's this thing? Did the Americans just send it? Why is it so powerful? That kid didn't say anything." Dai Zhiqi, the commander of the 121st Division, rushed in from outside, threw the steel helmet to the guard behind him, and cursed with excitement.

Dai Zhiqi graduated from the second phase of Chaozhou Military Academy in Huangpu and the fourth phase of the same period of the fourth phase of Huangpu. He is also a hard-core supporter of Chiang Kai-shek. He is deeply trusted by Chiang Kai-shek. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, he participated in the Battle of Shanghai and later served as the head teacher of the Three Youth League cadre training sponsored by Chiang Ching-kuo. With the support of two Chiang, he was not restrained in front of Mo Yushuo.

The smoke of gunpowder has not completely dissipated, and the situation on the battlefield is clearly visible. The entire Japanese position seemed to have been cut off a layer and was several meters short out of thin air. The entire Japanese position was completely destroyed, and there was no trenches or bunkers. The ground was overturned, and the fresh soil emitted a burnt stinking.

Mo Yushuo turned a blind eye to Dai Zhiqi's movements. He grabbed his glasses and continued to observe. The wind blowing from the Han River dissipated the smoke of gunpowder, and the troops were developing in depth. The Japanese army seemed to be scared by the shelling just now and was unable to counterattack the squadron that rushed into the position. The Japanese front had begun to shake.

"Order the troops to strengthen the attack," Mo Yushuo interrupted Yang Botao who was explaining the rocket and ordered Dai Zhiqi: "Put the 248th Brigade into deep combat. Today, we must break through the barbarian river and capture the general Zipo."

"Don't worry, commander, I guarantee to break through the barbarian river today." Dai Zhiqi's expression was still a bit careless and indifferent, but neither Mo Yushuo nor Yang Botao said anything. He has this qualification, not because of Chiang Kai-shek's trust, but the combat effectiveness of the troops. The 121st Division was the first unit to change equipment and prepare. Dai Zhiqi has always been very careful in the training of the troops and won the first place several times in military exercises.

"Reported, the call from Commander Zhuang from the War Zone forwarded by the headquarters." A staff officer rushed into the observation room, holding a telegram in his hand.

He Shuo did not connect but glanced at Dai Zhiqi, who was about to reach out.

"The main enemy 6th Division and 17th Division have crossed the Han River, and the 101st Army has firmly restrained the 13th Division. There are only less than 10,000 troops left north of Huji. The 8694th Army and nearly 100,000 well-equipped divisions. Why can't we solve it? Commander Guo, Commander Mo, and Commander Mou, explain? I hope you can work together and there are any people who are afraid of fighting. The military law cannot be tolerated! The enemy Yamamoto troops are eliminated within three days!!! Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut!"

Zhuang Jihua's anger and anxiety came to the paper, and finally he simply set the time directly. Mo Yushuo took the telegram and browsed it quickly. When he looked up, the relaxed atmosphere in the observation center had been swept away, and a kind of tension rose.

"Everyone, Commander Zhuang already knows the telegram. I believe that Commander Mou has received the same telegram. Tell me, how to execute it."

Mo Yushuo said and walked to the map. Yang Botao and Dai Zhiqi immediately surrounded him. No one said anything, didn't mention any concerns or difficulties, and three eyes were spinning on the map.

"Commander, the 121st Division continued to attack and ordered the 16th Division to detour Tongjiagou. Chen Yiding's 67th Division attacked Kongwan from Xumaoshi Bridge and assisted the 94th Army in attacking Kongwan." After Yang Botao finished speaking, he explained: "Commander Zhuang's meaning is very obvious. We must strengthen our cooperation and not fight in isolation."

The 86th and 94th Army under the command of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are both Central Army, but in fact they belong to two systems. The 86th Army is Chen Cheng's civil engineering system, while the predecessor of the 94th Army was the Guizhou Army. The commander Mou Tingfang was born in the first phase of Huangpu and from Guizhou. He belonged to the He Yingqin Army.

So although the 86th Army was attacking on the flanks and the 94th Army attacked head-on, facing the two Yamamoto troops and the 86th Army faced the 81st Regiment of the 17th Division, Chen Cheng handed over the rocket launcher battalion to the 86th Army, and the purpose was self-evident.

From the beginning of the offensive to the present, Mo Yushuo's tactics have been steadily and steadily. Each of the following three divisions has only invested two brigades, and the 16th Division has even only invested five regiments.

"No," Mo Yushuo shook his head firmly: "We will break through here," he pointed a few fingers on Lugang: "Strengthen the 44th Brigade of the 16th Division to the center, Commander Dai, deploy all the troops and attack the entire line, and ordered Chen Yiding to personally lead the 156th Brigade and the 157th Brigade to break through from Xumao, then rotate to the left, and ordered Cao Zhenduo to detour Tongjiaqiao, force the crossing of the Man River at Zhujia, occupy Lijiazui, and then attack Zheng Ji along Liangjiazui."

Mo Yushuo turned around and said seriously: "Tele to Commander Guo and Commander Mou to send our deployment, and please Commander Mou must hold Yamamoto. Our army will only consume it at the same time as the Japanese, first defeating the 81st Regiment, and then concentrating its efforts to eliminate Yamamoto."

Guo Jian quickly called back, agreeing to Mo Yushuo's deployment, and strictly ordered Mou Tingfang to strengthen the attack, delay Yamamoto, and cooperate with the 86th Army to destroy the 81st Regiment.

After Mo Yushuo adjusted his deployment, the squadron's offense became more fierce, and the battle on the west coast of the Han River was reached again.

The 86th Army was divided into three groups, and three brigades were lined up in a row. Dai Zhiqi personally came to the front line to command the troops to attack Lugang. What made the Japanese army even more sad was that due to the lack of heavy artillery for counterattacks, the squadron's rocket artillery battalion ignored the fact that it had been exposed. Soon after replacing the ammunition, it launched another bombardment on Lugang, tearing open the Japanese defense line again.

Dai Zhiqi threw the 44th Brigade into the attack. Four Brigades attacked in turn, and the defense line of the 81st Regiment was completely torn apart. Under the pressure of the squadron, the Japanese army was unable to rebuild the defense line at all. They left countless wounded soldiers and corpses along the way and retreated to the north bank of the Manhe River in a hurry.

But unexpectedly, Chen Yiding came from the flank and cut the Japanese army into two sections. The two squadrons that were cut behind were surrounded by the 44th Brigade and the 67th Division. Dai Zhiqi threw the surrounded Japanese army to Chen Yiding, and led the 121st Division to cross the besieged Japanese army and continued to pursue the Manhe River.
