Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2784 Everything for Mr. Kujo!

The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' artillery shells kept falling like raindrops, and the Japanese artillery positions instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The burning flames illuminated the night sky and also reflected the terrified expressions of the Japs.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the ammunition on the enemy's artillery position also began to explode. Boxes of shells were detonated, and the explosions continued, and the entire position fell into chaos and destruction.

In the distance, Colonel Nakajima saw this scene through a telescope and his face turned pale instantly.

He did not expect that the Anti-Japanese United Army really had artillery, and the firepower was so fierce. His carefully planned artillery attack plan was completely crushed by the Anti-Japanese United Army before it could be implemented.

"Baga! How could this happen!"

Colonel Nakajima roared angrily and threw the telescope in his hand to the ground.

He knew that this attack on the triple pass had been a complete failure.

Colonel Nakajima paced back and forth in the command center. The sound of his military boots hitting the ground was like a heavy hammer hitting a steel plate.

His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and anger was burning in his chest, the flames almost devouring his sanity.

However, mixed with this anger was endless resentment.

He looked at the location of the triple checkpoint on the map. The small mark now seemed like an insurmountable mountain, lying across his path.

He knew clearly that if he did not take drastic measures, the three-level pass would always stand in the way of the imperial army and become a huge obstacle for him to rescue Lord Kujo Miyakita.

Every time he thought of Kujo Miyakita's safety, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

He has already connected with Kujo Miyakita. Regardless of whether this operation succeeds or fails, as long as Kujo Miyakita is still alive, Nakajima will rise to prominence with Kujo Miyakita.

But on the contrary, Kujo Miyakita was going to die. Not only would he be unable to board the Kujo family's ship, but he would also probably be held accountable.

So thinking of this, Nakajima couldn't help but roared: "Baka!"

But at the same time, he suddenly stopped, made a decision, and ordered: "Send a telegram to the Fengtian Japanese Army Headquarters immediately! Request the Air Force to immediately launch an air strike on the cliff above the Sanchong Pass! Tell them to ensure that the Imperial Army can successfully break through the Sanchong Pass! This is a matter of the safety of His Excellency Kujo Miyakita, and they must pay attention to it."

The signalman immediately took the order: "Hi! Colonel, I'll send the message right away."

After saying that, the signalman's fingers immediately began tapping rapidly on the transmitter. His eyes were fixed on the buttons on the transmitter, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Beep! Beep beep beep! .

The radio station kept making a rhythmic beeping sound, and the sound lasted for a long, long time.

About two minutes later, all the telegrams were finally sent out.

The signalman breathed a sigh of relief and then reported to Colonel Nakajima.

Colonel Nakajima stood there quietly with his hands folded across his chest, as if he had already seen the Empire's fighter planes descending like the god of death above the cliffs of Sanchongguan.

Bombs fell like raindrops, with sharp whistling sounds, smashing towards the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' positions.

At the moment the bomb exploded, flames shot up into the sky and thick smoke billowed. The Anti-Japanese United Army’s position was blown to pieces, and stones, soil, and wood chips flew everywhere.

In his imagination, the anti-Japanese fighters were panicked and fled in all directions under the bombardment of bombs.

The Imperial Army's ground forces took advantage of this opportunity to flood into Sanchong Pass like a tide, quickly joined forces with Lord Kujo, and then wiped out the main force of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile, as if victory was waving to him.

At the same time, the Fengtian Japanese Army Command did not dare to delay at all after receiving the telegram from Colonel Nakajima.

The general on duty quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Air Force Command Room:

"Moshimoshi, Saito? Immediately organize fighter planes to launch an air strike on the cliffs above the Triple Pass. Make sure that the Imperial Army's ground forces can successfully break through the Triple Pass!"

"Hi!"

Air Force Flight Squadron Leader Saito took immediate action after receiving the order. He quickly ran to the operations room and ordered the ground crew and pilots to quickly assemble and push the fighter planes onto the runway to hang bombs.

The ground crews were busy shuttling between the fighter planes, carrying out the final inspection and preparation. They carefully checked the engines, weapon systems, fuel and other parts of the fighter planes to ensure that the fighter planes could take off safely and complete the mission smoothly.

At the same time, the Japanese pilots were dressed neatly, lined up and walked towards their respective fighter planes.

They climbed onto the fighter plane, fastened their seat belts, adjusted their seats, held the joystick tightly with both hands, and waited for the order to take off.

Following an order from the control tower, fighter planes slid out of the runway one after another.

The plane's tires rubbed violently against the ground, making a sharp whistling sound.

As the roar of the engine grew louder, the fighter began to accelerate.

The huge thrust allowed the fighter plane to glide rapidly on the runway, with the speed increasing faster and faster, as if the entire fuselage was vibrating.

When the speed reached the critical point, the nose of the plane suddenly lifted up and the fighter rushed into the sky like an arrow.

In the sky, the fighter jets quickly formed into three diamond-shaped formations and flew towards the Sanchong Pass.

·············

At the same time, fifteen kilometers north of Changgou, Duanwu had led a large force to the temporary position set up north of Jiujo Palace.

Although Kujo Miyakita's command ability is very average, his subordinates are not all good-for-nothings.

Relying on three consecutive mountains, they built a temporary defensive position.

These three mountains are distributed in a triangular shape and echo each other, making them a rare strategic location.

Although the Japanese did not have time to build permanent defensive fortifications such as barbed wire and bunkers, they relied on their rich combat experience to quickly build a highly lethal firepower configuration system.

On the frontline hillside on the south side, the Japanese took advantage of the terrain and set up multiple light machine gun firing points.

These firing points cleverly used some natural cover.

For example, there are protruding rocks, thick trees, and even firing points on the trees.

Each firing point is about thirty meters apart and distributed in a fan shape.

The light machine gunner can half-crouch behind the bunker, with the barrel of the gun extending from the firing hole of the bunker, able to cover a fan-shaped area of ​​about one hundred and fifty degrees in front.

They formed a dense fire network by alternating shooting, and any enemy trying to approach from the front would be subjected to fierce shooting.

Behind the light machine gun fire point is the heavy machine gun position.

The heavy machine gun was mounted on a simple wooden platform and reinforced with sandbags and branches to enhance stability.

The heavy machine gun has a long range and great power, and can carry out fire strikes on targets at a long distance.

The Japs placed their heavy machine guns at a higher position on the hillside so that they could overlook the open area ahead.

In order to deal with the threat from the flank, the Japanese set up mortar positions on both sides of the mountain.

The mortar is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry and operate, and is very suitable for use in temporary positions.

The Japanese artillery set up mortars in concealed locations and were able to strike targets at different distances and altitudes by adjusting the firing angle and amount of explosives.

They maintained close communication with the machine gun fire points at the front line, and once they detected enemy activity on the flanks, they quickly fired artillery shells to suppress the enemy.

Behind the position, the Japanese also arranged a sniper team.

Snipers wore camouflage uniforms and hid among the grass and rocks on the hillside. They were equipped with high-precision Type 97 sniper rifles, which could accurately kill enemy commanders and important targets at long distances.

In addition, the Japanese also paid attention to the coordination between the firepower points. They achieved real-time communication between the firepower points through flag signals, whistles and simple communication equipment.

That is to say, when one firepower point is attacked by the enemy, other firepower points can quickly provide support, forming cross fire, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide.

This firepower configuration with no blind spots makes the entire temporary defense position like an iron barrel. Not only people, but even birds can't fly in! .
