122 Flying Thunder Cannon Shows Its Power
However, at this time, the Japanese brigade commander Kunimori Shinichi would not listen to such an excuse.
“Send a message to Lieutenant Colonel Sakai, the general will give him three hours to capture this small hill.
Secure the brigade's retreat.
The rest of the troops will continue to advance along the railway line."
The Japanese brigade commander Kunimori Shinichi immediately gave the order.
He had no intention of leaving all of his more than 4,000 men behind to attack the Second Battalion's northern position.
In his opinion, their most important task at this time was to attack southward as quickly as possible.
They joined forces with the surrounded 117th Regiment, and then counterattacked the Kuomintang troops that dared to attack them, and wiped out Ye Qingshan's Kuomintang troops in one fell swoop.
"Yoshi, since it is Ye Qingshan's army.
This time, we must not let him get away.
We must capture him and wash away the shame of General Nakajima being captured."
The old devil Guosheng also knew Ye Qingshan’s previous battle record and now he has set his sights on Ye Qingshan.
Soon, the Japanese left behind a battalion to continue attacking the northern position held by the Second Battalion.
This will be their only way out.
The Japanese brigade commander did not dare to do so. He had to clear the high ground occupied by the Second Battalion and open up the passage here.
Leaving behind a Japanese battalion of more than a thousand people was definitely enough in the eyes of the Japanese brigade commander.
Other Japanese troops continued to advance southward.
Just half an hour later, they arrived at Phoenix Ridge.
Zhou Pingkou was at the top of Phoenix Ridge, looking at the large number of Japanese soldiers, tanks and armored vehicles coming from the north, and immediately gave an order: "The remaining troops of the Japanese Sixth Brigade have arrived.
Let the soldiers on the front lines start preparing. "
"The Sixth Brigade of the Japanese invaders has arrived so quickly.
At the same time, fierce gunfire sounds were still coming from the Second Battalion's northern position.
It seems that the commander of the Japanese Sixth Brigade left a part of his troops to attack the northern position of the Second Battalion.
The rest will all come to support the Japanese 117th Regiment and will join up with the Japanese 117th Regiment."
Next to Zhou Pingkou, a major officer of the National Army spoke.
"That is to say, we are about to run into the main force of another regiment of the Japanese Sixth Brigade.
Okay, I'm going to the front line."
Zheng Quezi slammed his eye bags on his tattered military boots twice, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"Captain Zheng, be careful."
Zhou Pingkou reminded.
The company that Zheng Quezi is in is responsible for the flying thunder artillery position and the flank position, and its location is very important.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
Zheng Quezi left without looking back.
Then, Zhou Pingkou gave tasks to the commanders of other battalions and companies, and they rushed to their respective positions.
Half an hour later, the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Brigade and the main force of the 118th Regiment under his command, more than people, appeared at the foot of Phoenix Ridge.
"pull!"
Zhou Pingkou also personally wore a helmet and went to the position halfway up the mountain.
Seeing that the Japanese troops had already entered the foot of the mountain, he immediately gave orders.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, violent explosions were heard at the foot of the mountain and on both sides of the railway line.
Zhou Pingkou and his team buried a large amount of explosives in advance near the gap in the railway line at the foot of the mountain.
Just wait for the devils from the Sixth Brigade to come.
The large amount of explosives that Ye Qingshan had asked for from Deputy Commander Xiao was now put to great use.
"beat!"
Da da da!
Boom!
At the blocking positions on both sides of Phoenix Ridge, various firepower points opened fire simultaneously.
It poured towards the Japanese Sixth Brigade at the foot of the mountain.
We must not let the Japanese pass through this pass.
"Open up the southbound passage as soon as possible."
Kunimori Shinichi, commander of the Japanese 6th Brigade, had a gloomy face as he gave orders to his subordinates.
He also knew that he would definitely encounter an attack from the Nationalist army at Phoenix Ridge.
If they don't break through the gap here and take down Zhou Ping's blocking positions on both sides of Fenghuang Ridge, they will not be able to continue moving south.
"Onboard, kill them!"
Soon, the soldiers of the Japanese 118th Regiment began to attack the main position of Fenghuangling.
The Japanese soldiers howled and, under the cover of artillery fire, followed the tanks and armored vehicles and charged towards Phoenix Ridge.
"Captain, the Japs are coming."
In the trench at the front line, a short boy popped his head out and saw the Japanese coming towards him.
He turned around and shouted to Zheng Cuzi who was hiding in the trench and smoking.
"Where are you?"
Zheng Quezi was not in a hurry and asked slowly.
"Five hundred meters."
The short soldier replied.
"Cao, what are you yelling about at 500 meters?
Our flying thunder cannon can only fire at a range of two hundred meters at most.
Everyone, reduce your firepower and let the devils get within 100 meters."
Zheng Quezi shouted at the top of his voice.
Soon, the firepower of Zheng Quezi's position weakened.
The two Japanese squads also noticed this and quickly chose the direction where Zheng Quezi was as a breakthrough point.
"Three hundred meters, two hundred meters."
The short soldier's voice was trembling.
At a distance of two hundred meters, he could already see the ferocious face of the Japanese soldier quite clearly.
In addition, there were the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, which were once the nightmares of the National Army soldiers.
If it were soldiers from other National Army units, their psychological defenses would have collapsed if the Japanese attacked so closely.
However, the soldiers of the 7th Military Police Regiment under Ye Qingshan were still waiting.
Soldiers carrying bazookas squatted next to Zheng Quezi.
"One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and thirty meters."
Hearing the voices of the soldiers one by one, I felt like I was about to cry.
"interesting!"
Zheng Quezi took two deep puffs of his pipe and then threw it away.
Then he stood up and shouted loudly: "Damn it, now is the time, One-Eye, blow it up for me!"
The one-eyed man, who had been waiting for this order, took action immediately.
Boom boom boom!
Soon, a series of strange muffled sounds were heard, which were the unique sounds when the flying thunder cannon was fired.
Then, the Japanese soldiers who were attacking saw a black object flying in the air in front of them.
"Nani?"
The Japanese were also wondering, what is this, a grenade?
It doesn’t look like it!
boom!
A moment later, as the first explosive pack in front landed, it exploded with a loud bang.
A terrifying sound was heard, and the area within a radius of several meters was directly covered by flames.
The shock wave caused by the explosion of the explosive pack spread out, blowing away the Japanese soldiers more than ten meters away.
And there are dozens of such explosive packs behind.
Boom boom boom!
The huge explosion spread across this area of only a dozen square meters in a very short time.
Suddenly, the ground shook.
Zheng Quezi and others squatted in the trench with their heads in their hands, and their heads were covered with dust.
puff puff!
Zheng Quezi and others shook off the dust on their bodies and popped their heads out to look.
There were hundreds of Japanese soldiers attacking, but only a few were left standing.
Even two of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed.
There were two other cars that were destroyed in the explosion, and they were also lying there without any movement.
The Japanese soldiers inside had already died with blood coming out of all their orifices, and their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave of the explosion.
