Chapter 118: The sound of the gunfire alarmed many parties

118 The sound of the gunfire alarmed many parties

"Captain, be careful!"

The Japanese officer next to him quickly threw Yamada Masashi to the ground.

Rumble!

A rocket exploded not far from them, killing and injuring many Japanese soldiers.

If it weren't for the lieutenant colonel Japanese officer next to him who rushed over to knock down Yamada Masashi, he might have been killed in the explosion.

The feeling of the power of the 132mm caliber rocket at such a close distance made the Japanese regiment commander despair.

The explosion of the rocket deafened the Japanese regiment commander, who now had ringing in his ears and a dizzy head.

Looking around, there was chaos.

Countless broken limbs and arms of Japanese soldiers were flying all over the sky.

Many of the tanks and armored vehicles around them had already been blown up and turned into fireballs.

Within the ambush circle on the entire railway line, more than 117 Japanese soldiers from the th Regiment were running around like headless flies.

They went south along the railway line, around the Nanjing-Shanghai railway line, for the original purpose of building the railway.

Many of them are bare and there is no cover at all.

Now, facing direct attack from nearly two hundred rockets, the casualties can be imagined.

"My goodness! Our bombardment this time was horrible.

Could it be that our heavy artillery unit has joined the battle?

But where do we get the heavy artillery?

This artillery fire is too fierce and too fast."

Not only the Japanese were stunned by the explosion.

Even the Kuomintang soldiers in the surrounding ambush positions were stunned by such a horrific bombing.

Lu Dahai opened his mouth so wide that his eyes almost popped out as he looked at the miserable plight of the Japanese devils below.

Even on Ye Qingshan's side, only a few people knew about the existence of rocket launchers.

Only a small number of people who tested the rocket launcher at the time knew about the existence of the Katyusha rocket launcher.

At this time, even Lu Dahai and others thought that this was an attack by the Kuomintang's heavy artillery.

But this is totally impossible.

Not to mention the heavy artillery, even most of the artillery units of the National Army were lost in the Battle of Shanghai.

“Damn it, who cares where the heavy artillery is.

Brothers, beat them up hard and kill these damn Japanese devils."

Lu Dahai was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.

He shouted loudly to the other shocked Kuomintang soldiers.

Many national army soldiers also reacted immediately and continued to fire wildly, hitting the enemy hard.

At the same time, Ye Qingshan had so many rocket launchers launching rocket attacks, causing a huge commotion.

It was also heard by many parties at the same time.

Whether it was the 83rd Army commanders Deng Longguang and Song Xilian who were still in the main position of Mufu Mountain, or the commander of the Japanese Sixth Mixed Brigade in the north.

Or perhaps, the defenders in Jinling City and the senior members of the National Army all heard the huge noise here.

"Ye Qingshan has taken action."

After hearing the explosion, Song Xilian looked towards the southeast and said to Commander Deng.

"Damn it, Brother Ye really succeeded!"

Commander Deng was also surprised.

However, his expression turned strange the next second: "Huh? That's not right.

The sound of the explosion doesn’t seem right. Why is it so loud?

There are so many explosions. Where did Ye Qingshan get so many artillery pieces? "

Song Xilian, who was standing next to him, had already sensed something was wrong, and said solemnly, "Judging from the sound of the explosion, it must have been a cannon with a caliber of at least 120mm.

Do we still have heavy artillery left?"

Commander Deng understood what Song Xilian meant and thought that the top leaders of the National Army had mobilized heavy artillery units to assist Ye Qingshan in the battle.

However, Song Xilian's guess was immediately denied by Deng Longguang: "Brother Song, stop talking nonsense.

We don't even need any heavy artillery.

If they really used heavy artillery, would I have been bullied like that by the devils at Yaohua Gate?"

"Then how do you explain the intensive gunfire coming from Ye Qingshan's side?

This is not the kind of noise that ordinary artillery can make."

"This……"

Commander Deng couldn't explain it either.

"Maybe it's another new weapon invented by Brother Ye?"

Commander Deng muttered softly.

Song Xilian shook his head: "The rocket launcher designed by Brother Ye is indeed very practical and convenient.

However, artillery is not as easy to design as other weapons, especially heavy artillery.

Even if it is designed.

Except for the arsenal in Wuhan, who else can make it here? "

"Too."

Commander Deng nodded.

“So, I guess it’s very likely that the principal secretly mobilized the heavy artillery to assist Ye Qingshan in this ambush.

This is the only explanation.

Can you guarantee that our principal really doesn't have any extra artillery units?"

After hearing Song Xilian's explanation, Commander Deng was also convinced.

Yup!

Are you saying that the National Army really has no heavy artillery at the moment?

That's not necessarily true.

As an old soldier in the National Army, Commander Deng was well aware of the principal's hidden talents.

It is entirely possible to retain a heavy artillery unit.

However, the heavy artillery that has been kept by the principal until now and has not been used is definitely his favorite.

But now, in order to assist Ye Qingshan, the principal used heavy artillery to ambush the Japanese army.

Doesn’t this further prove how much the principal values ​​Ye Qingshan and this battle?

"Damn it, I was wondering how Ye Qingshan, with only 7,000 men, could dare to ambush an entire regiment of the Japanese.

It turns out that this is what he relies on.

The principal is really patient, he actually kept the heavy artillery hidden until now."

Commander Deng felt a little aggrieved.

If they had had the assistance of heavy artillery when they were on the front line, they would not have been blown up like that by the Japanese artillery.

But he also understood.

At this time, air supremacy was in the hands of the Japanese, and the appearance of their heavy artillery meant that they could be destroyed at any time.

The principal's caution seems understandable.

"Damn it, Brother Ye has got some heavy artillery, so he really hopes to inflict heavy damage on the regiment of the Japanese Sixth Brigade heading south.

In this case, our 83rd Army has been wiped out.

We can’t let the Japanese 13th Division pass through here.

Commander Song, we need to change our plan."

Commander Deng now became excited.

“Well, what Commander Deng said makes sense.

that is……"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and order the troops to be mobilized."

Commander Deng had already hurried over to issue new orders.

Originally, they were planning to transfer two regiments and block the Japanese 13th Division for a few hours if they found any unusual movements.

But now, it's obviously not working.

In this battle, the principal even brought out the heavy artillery.

In the end, because of their inaction, the Japanese 13th Division would be able to destroy Ye Qingshan's ambush.

Then the principal will have to settle the score with them later.

Song Xilian looked at Commander Deng who was running away and muttered, "Commander Deng, I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

Unfortunately, Commander Deng can no longer hear.

Song Xilian continued to talk to himself, "Actually, it still doesn't make sense.

That is, since the principal attached so much importance to this battle that he did not hesitate to use the heavy artillery he had hidden.

Then why not let the headquarters give us orders directly?

Instead, let Ye Qingshan tell us."
