Chapter 552 How did the 386th Brigade do it?(2/2)
Chang Kaishen's eyes lit up and he said, "In other words, the bandit area in northwest Shanxi is over?"
"Yes, it's definitely over." Dai Li said with great affirmation, "The two north and south clusters of Okamura Yiji's four divisions have launched a centripetal assault on the bandit area in the northwest of Shanxi at the same time."
After pausing, Dai Li said again: "In addition, Okamura Yasuji has ordered the 3rd Flying Division to dispatch all bombers to bomb the 386th Brigade's gun group at the Pig Killingkou. So if nothing unexpected happens, the 386th Brigade will definitely be over. If this gun group is gone, the 386th Brigade will be like a tiger with teeth drawn, and there is no need to worry about it."
"That's great..." Chang Kaisheng cheered for a while, and immediately reacted and changed his words, "This is really a pity. The March 86th Brigade is afraid it will suffer a big loss now. It's a pity."
Dai Li said: "There is nothing to do about it."
...
On the mountain road to the right of the Pig Killing Mouth, the artillery soldiers were leading mules to the depths of Heiyun Mountain.
In order to ensure that no accidents occur, Cao San Company finally decided to dismantle the mountain cannons into parts and buried them in the ground. This is the safest. No matter how many bombers the Japanese come, they will be useless.
However, the parts of the mountain cannon can be buried, but the mule cannot.
There are no caves or woods that can hide mules near the Pig Killing Mouth.
Therefore, Cao San Company could only let the artillery lead the mule and move to Heiyun Mountain to standby.
Heiyun Mountain is more than ten miles away, with high mountains and dense forests. Not to mention more than a thousand mules, there is no problem with 100,000 mules.
However, there is still a dozen miles of mountain road from the Pig Killing Mouth to the woods in the Heiyun Mountain. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous journey. Because it was already dawn, several groups of Japanese reconnaissance planes had arrived and their mule teams were also discovered, so the next one should be Japanese bombers.
The Japanese bombers cannot find cannons, so they will definitely come to bomb the mule team.
"Hurry up, move faster!" Thinking of this, Cao Sanlian was a little anxious, "Hurry up!"
Just as I was talking, the buzzing engine roared in the eastern sky. I looked up quickly and saw that there were black planes in the sky in the northeast direction.
This guy has at least fifty-six planes!
The old Japanese devil, Okamura, really respected their artillery regiment.
"Scatter!" Cao Sanlian roared, "Scatter, disperse, disperse quickly, disperse and disperse invisibility!"
At this time, you can no longer squeeze on the mountain road and must be dispersed, otherwise a bomb from the Japanese bomber can kill a mule if it falls, and then a dive strafing can kill dozens of mules.
If all the mules were killed, their artillery regiment would be in trouble.
You can't let the soldiers march with cannons, right? You won't be exhausted.
...
"Damn it!"
"Okamura Nishiji's old devil is really a big deal."
The brigade commander poked his head out of the observation post and looked at the vast crowd of aircraft in the sky, and couldn't help but swear.
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "The old Japanese must be anxious. I thought about blowing up our cannon group at one time. It was really a scheming plan, but this was a delusion."
The brigade commander said: "Are the artillery regiment's artillery hidden?"
Chen Mingli nodded and said, "It's all broken into parts and buried it."
After a pause, Chen Mingli said again: "Even if the mule team doesn't have time to retreat into the woods of Heiyun Mountain, it is estimated that they can't escape the bombing of the Japanese, and they may lose a lot of animals."
"Mule is not a problem, artillery is the most important thing." The brigade commander waved his hand and asked again, "By the way, where has Li Sigen's tank company gone now?"
Ma Yuan said: "From the time point of view, we should be back to Anhua County soon."
"That's good." The brigade commander breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Otherwise, if the Japanese bombers found the tank company, it would be over. The tank company really didn't even have a chance to escape.
While speaking, the large group of Japanese aircraft had already flew over the pig's mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the huge group of aircraft was divided into two groups, one bomber to bomb the mule team marching on the mountain road, and the other fighter jets slaughtered the first and third teams outside the pig's mouth, launching one dive strafing.
The first team and the third team six regiments immediately fell into a tough battle, both to attack and kill the commanding heights on both sides of the pig's mouth, and to withstand dive strafing by Japanese fighters. The situation is really difficult.
But no matter how difficult it is, you can only bear it because there is no place to hide.
...
No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong, Peiping.
Okamura Yasuji finally felt in the mood to sit down and have a breakfast.
Just as I was eating, Miao Jing San walked in quickly and gave a report: "Great General, the 3rd Flying Division did not find the artillery group of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army near the Pig Killing Mouth, but only the mule team."
Okamura Yasuji sighed and said, "It must have been opened and buried."
"Yes." Youmo Jingsan smiled bitterly, "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is so vigilant that it is really not left with us at all."
Okamura Yasuji said helplessly: "Then bomb the mule team and their infantry."
He paused and continued, "However, if we only bomb the infantry of the 386th Brigade, we don't have to use so many combat aircraft. It would be enough to dispatch a flight squadron every hour."
After all, the North China Front Army's aviation gasoline supply is not abundant, so it can only save money.
Youmo Jingsan then reported: "In addition, the 4th Brigade that went north to reinforce was blocked near Wangjiadian, about fifteen kilometers away from the Pig Killingkou. The troops of the 4th Brigade seemed to be blocking the 386th Brigade."
"As expected." Okamura Yasuji nodded, and said again, "How is the progress of the Southern Cluster and the Northern Cluster?"
