Chapter 241 The End of the 102nd Division
10 month 5 day.
The darkness before dawn gradually dissipated, and a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky.
The early morning air was filled with a fresh scent, but the atmosphere at the independent column position outside Lonely Mountain was extremely tense.
The soldiers got up early at around 6 a.m. and began to carefully check their weapons and equipment.
Their movements were skillful and professional, and no detail was overlooked.
Today, they will launch an attack on the enemy on Lonely Mountain.
Everyone's heart was filled with anticipation and tension, because they knew that this battle was of great significance.
In the camp, the logistics soldiers were also busy working.
They were constantly carrying ammunition and supplies to various front-line positions.
Their figures shuttled between the camps, busy and orderly.
This battle has special significance for the independent column.
They were about to launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Japanese 102nd Division, which would be an unprecedented first on the Chinese battlefield.
Gaoda led Li Yunlong, the brigade commander and other senior cadres to a small hill.
Their steps were hurried and their eyes were full of curiosity.
Everyone was still wondering why Gundam brought them to this place.
Gundam looked at everyone and said, “Everyone, before launching the general attack today, I invite you to watch a grand performance.
Later, the artillery regiment will send a big surprise to the Japanese on Lonely Mountain. "
After hearing Gundam's words, everyone couldn't help but start to look forward to it. They all wanted to know what secret weapon Gundam had developed.
In their view, even the artillery regiment’s rocket launchers would not be able to cause significant damage to the enemy’s pits on the isolated hill.
Although the rockets were extremely powerful, the Japanese soldiers were hiding in pits, and the rockets could not cause any harm to them.
Their eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, and they were looking forward to the performance.
the other side.
At the artillery position of the 1st Artillery Regiment.
The soldiers under the command of Li Dazhu carefully loaded the rockets delivered by Gundam last night into the gun barrel.
Their movements were skillful and careful, as if they were performing a tense operation.
"Comrades, everyone please be careful."
"Do a careful check to ensure that all rockets can be launched at the first opportunity."
Li Dazhui shouted and checked every rocket launcher on the position.
Although he didn't know how powerful these rockets were, Gundam had given him serious instructions, so he had to take it seriously. If any problem occurred, it would be all over.
Time passes by minute by minute, and every second seems particularly long.
The rocket launchers on the artillery positions were ready, with their muzzles all aimed at the Japanese positions on the isolated hill. The soldiers were anxiously waiting for the order to fire.
Li Dazhu stood on the battlefield, his eyes fixed on the time in his hand. It was now 6:58.
He took a deep breath and then shouted, "Attention all gunners, it is now 6:58. Fire the rockets at 7 o'clock."
The gunners began to pick up the launcher buttons, placing their fingers lightly on them, waiting for orders.
After a while, Li Dazhu raised his head and looked at his watch. The hour hand pointed to 7 o'clock.
Without hesitation, he shouted, "All gunners, please pay attention, get ready, fire!"
The soldiers pressed the buttons in their hands without hesitation, and with a powerful electric current surging out, 200 rockets were activated instantly.
They rushed into the sky with tremendous power like a volcanic eruption.
“Swish, swish, swish….”
For a moment, the entire artillery position was filled with smoke and violent roars continued to be heard.
200 rockets quickly rushed into the sky and whizzed towards the Japanese positions. Each rocket spewed long flames in the sky, which was very spectacular.
Their figures streaked across the sky like meteors, carrying a destructive power.
.................
Gundam heard the whistling sound coming from the sky and said to everyone with a smile:
"Everyone, please enjoy the performance of the artillery regiment.
The great gift for the devils has already taken off, and I guarantee they will never forget it."
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw more than 200 rockets flying quickly in the sky. Everyone was looking forward to the fireworks show.
There was a hint of excitement in their eyes, and they were full of anticipation for the bombing.
The brigade commander and others hurriedly took out their telescopes and looked towards the lonely mountain, trying to see the explosion more clearly.
at the same time.
When the Japanese soldiers on the lonely mountain heard the violent whistling sound coming from the sky, they all looked up at the sky.
What came into view were hundreds of rockets. After the previous round of rocket attacks, all the Japanese soldiers had experienced the horror of rockets.
"idiot!"
"Enemy shells are coming."
"Run into the hole quickly, don't hide outside."
"Go, go. Don't block the road."
Countless Japanese soldiers began to rush into the anti-artillery cave, fearing that they would be killed if they were a second late.
Their figures on the battlefield appeared somewhat flustered, like frightened rabbits.
The Japanese officer on the position loudly commanded the Japanese soldiers to enter the pits. Due to the frantic digging of pits last night, the entire isolated mountain was full of anti-artillery holes and large pits.
The Japanese soldiers who entered the cave couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They believed that the sturdy cave would be able to protect their lives.
There was a hint of luck in their eyes, and they were full of confidence in their own defense.
In the secret command post of the Japanese on the top of a lonely mountain, Hasegawa looked at the rockets in the sky and smiled disdainfully.
In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army was doing useless work. Apart from blowing up the trenches on the position, it could not cause much damage to the 102nd Division.
Under everyone's gaze, 200 rockets quickly hit the Japanese positions on the lonely mountain.
All the Japanese soldiers did not know at this time that they were about to face the most horrific bombing.
“Boom boom boom…”
A huge explosion sounded on the lonely mountain. The whole mountain seemed to be hit hard by a giant hand and instantly fell into a sea of fire.
Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and shock waves from the explosion and flying flames were everywhere.
The explosion power of the fuel-air explosive rocket is amazing. It not only consumes all the oxygen in the air in an instant, but also triggers more violent combustion and explosion.
All the Japanese soldiers hiding in the tunnels instantly felt a strong sense of suffocation. They looked around in horror, not knowing what to do.
Some people try to cover their mouth and nose with a wet cloth, but this does not solve the underlying problem.
More people were gasping for breath, hoping to breathe in a breath of fresh air.
However, the oxygen in the tunnel had been exhausted and their efforts were in vain.
As time went on, more and more Japanese soldiers found the feeling of suffocation unbearable.
They began to rush towards the cave entrance frantically, desperate to escape from this hellish place. However, the moment they rushed out, they were greeted by a scene even more horrible than that inside the cave.
The temperature outside has soared to thousands of degrees, as if we were in a furnace.
The flames licked every inch of the land, scorching everything that could burn.
As soon as the Japanese soldiers who rushed out stepped out of the cave, they were immediately swallowed by the high temperature. Their bodies were instantly burned and they fell to the ground and died.
