"Okay, Bi Youjin, go and send a telegram to the artillery battalion: Get ready for action!" Master Dao turned around and said to the side.

"Yes!" Bi Youjin had been so excited that he had long since heard the order, and quickly sent out the telegram as quickly as possible.

"I think I should wait for the Dongfang place. We used more than a thousand people and worked here for a few days, just for this moment!" The master stroked his beard and said, but he was a little excited when he looked.

"Yes, I waited for so long and went so hard, but it wasn't just for this moment? What a pity, we can't go to the scene to see it in person, which is a pity!" Hu Yizhou took the tea cup sent by Su Laoliu and took a sip of tea.

"Captain, you are Zhuge Liang, who is a staunch Central Army tent. You don't have to go to the scene. You just need to plan and win a thousand miles away!" Su Laoliu said on the side.

"Ha, Lao Liu, your other skills have not increased, and your skill in flattery has become better. By the way, where did you learn this word?" Hu Yizhou said with a smile.

"That's what the storytellers say in the plays! Hehe, commander, there are many Japanese devils who should die at this moment, right?" Su Laoliu asked.

"This time... I just look at what happened to Dongfang! The Second Battalion, plus the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion and the New First Regiment, have been busy for several days, and have prepared three base shells, weighing 50 tons. I think the Japanese will have a good pot!"

After Hu Yizhou finished speaking, he looked at the mountains in the south with great anticipation, looking at the direction of Dongyang Pass, and looking forward to bringing good news to him to the east.

There is a mountain valley to the east of Changning Village, which stretches for a long distance. Due to the obstruction of the mountain, there are two forks, one south and one north, and then it goes eastward to Wangbao, connecting the Qingzhang River Valley.

The southernmost end of this ravine is less than two kilometers away from the straight line of Dongyang Pass. If you go north, it will be far away. This is not the point. The point is that the 12th and 3rd Company of the Security Regiment's Artillery Battalion has been lying in this ravine.

In addition, the remaining troops of the Second Battalion and the Fourth Company of the Artillery, which carried air defense fire, also ambushed here and protected the artillery. At this moment, the special combat reconnaissance company that completed the sniping mission of the 108th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese was also here.

There is a saying that clearly shows the carriage, horse, cannon, let's kill a lot. Hu Yizhou is not stupid, he dare not put the carriage, horse, cannon on the surface. What's more, he only has carriage and cannon, and the only horse is more than 100 war horses that have just been seized from the Japanese.

Well, now the situation is that the Japanese soldiers' horses are gone, and the car is still pulling things behind, but the cannons are coming.

"What I do is the Japanese artillery unit! Otherwise, we can work hard to deliver things here and feed mosquitoes in this ravine for three days? Everyone is hurrying, they all get busy!"

"All artillery groups should pay attention to installing guns, adjusting coordinates, and carrying all the shells to the guns! The regiment commander said that all the shells brought this time were sent to the Japanese!"

"Hurry up, it's dark soon. Let's take advantage of the battle before dark and retreat quickly!"

The person who said this was naturally the artillery battalion commander Xiang Dongfang. After receiving the order from Bi Youjin, Lao Xiang, who was writing in the valley for a few days, was immediately resurrected with full blood.

He called on various artillery groups of the artillery battalion, together with the artillery group of the second battalion, to set up the mortars they brought as fast as possible, and prepared the shells they brought.

"Communication soldier, contact the artillery observation post in front of you! Remember to keep communication open!"

"Battleman Commander Zuo, the artillery will be attacked immediately. Do you think you are ready to retreat first?"

As the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Zhai Changlin was not only responsible for communications, but also for coordination with his sister units so as to be consistent.

Just as Hu Yizhou gave the order and the artillery battalion was ready for bombing with blood and blood, the Japanese were also preparing for bombing.

A field artillery gang of the Japanese, with a total of 48 field artillery and mountain artillery. At this moment, the Japanese soldiers of the 108 artillery gang who had just arrived were building their artillery positions on the Handan-Chang Highway, with their targets aimed directly at the three high grounds in Dongyang Pass.

In addition, the new Japanese soldiers from the 117th Infantry Regiment who rushed over also joined the 132nd Regiment. These were more than 6,000 Japanese infantrymen, which were much more than the New Regiment.

"Damn it, the Japanese are really moving! Second Battalion Commander, let us go and evacuate! A platoon of soldiers must be left behind in a high ground. You can arrange it. Start from darkness and let them stay until 8 o'clock in the evening to retreat!"

On the main position of Tianzhu Lou, Li Yunlong looked at the Japanese's posture and knew that his regiment could not be stopped. Hu Yizhou came here to inform him and quickly led his men to retreat.

Of course, if you retreat, you won’t be able to do it now. You have to leave quietly while the sky is dark. Otherwise, the Japanese will not be able to leave after seeing it.

Of course, our old Li is also looking forward to how powerful the artillery attack of the security regiment will be. Now he is holding a telescope and watching the Japanese.

"Hurry, the shell cart is parked here! Mules and horses are placed in the woods over there!"

"The first brigade, you are responsible for the main position of the Tianzhu Lou, the second brigade, the direction of Yiziling..."

After the Japanese infantry joined forces, they did not rush to attack, but watched the artillerymen prepare in an orderly manner with interest. The Japanese infantry and artillery have outstanding cooperative combat capabilities, and the infantry trusts the artillery very much.

"Hey, hey? Battalion Commander? Yes, I am the No. 1 observer! Now the Japanese artillery positions are fixed, and they are preparing to bomb the positions in Dongyang Pass! Yes, their No. 1 artillery positions are near the No. 7 reference object, and there are four mountain cannons..."

The Japanese were preparing, and the observation post of the first battalion was also quickly and accurately reporting the specific location of the Japanese artillery position to the artillery group behind. The observer reported it very carefully and accurately, and it was as accurate as how many meters the distance from each gun was about a reference object.

With the report ahead, combined with the map and coordinate system surveyed and mapped before, the artillery battalions and the second battalions all used the fastest speed to calculate the ballistics and adjust the coordinates...

"Report, the No. 1 gun is ready!" A 120mm heavy mortar is ready for launch.

"Report, No. 2..." Another...

Soon, all the 16 82-door 82-door 120 mortars on the scene were prepared for shelling. Don’t ask why two more 120mm mortars were added, and there are 20 more in our arsenal.
Chapter completed!
