Chapter 175: Reactivation of Katyusha Rocket Launcher

175 Katyusha rocket launcher is used again

"What time do you set for the final attack?

Have you contacted Captain Gui and the others on Purple Mountain?"

Ye Qingshan heard Chief of Staff Chen Sunong say that they would raid Guanghua Gate tonight and take back this important city gate.

Then he asked.

“We have already contacted Captain Gui and his men.

The time for our raid on Guanghua Gate is set at 8 o'clock in the evening, once we capture Guanghua Gate.

Opening up the exit from the city would send a signal to the teaching corps on Purple Mountain.

At that time, they will send a support force to come down from Purple Gold Mountain to support us."

Chief of Staff Chen Sunong continued.

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded, then looked at his watch and calculated the time in his mind.

"There should be enough time."

"What's too late?"

Chief of Staff Chen Sunong heard Ye Qingshan mumbling to himself and asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just in case, I have prepared a backup plan in advance.

Maybe it will come in handy tonight."

Ye Qingshan responded with a smile.

"Okay, Qingshan, you're still keeping the Chief of Staff and me in suspense.

What? Are you afraid that we will find out and secretly tip off the devils?"

Sun Yuanliang said jokingly.

Ye Qingshan felt a little embarrassed, and quickly added: "Master, please stop teasing me.

I said it’s not okay.”

"I have a rocket launcher unit at my disposal.

It was the rocket artillery unit that you mistook for heavy artillery when I wiped out the 117th Regiment of the Japanese in Caojiaying last time. "

"Didn't I hear that your rocket artillery unit couldn't replenish its shells and couldn't be used?

In the end, even Commander Tang didn’t requisition it for you.”

Chief of Staff Chen Sunong looked at Ye Qingshan and said, of course they knew about Ye Qingshan’s Katyusha rocket artillery unit.

At the beginning, after Ye Qingshan completely wiped out the Japanese 117th Regiment, many generals of the National Army reviewed that battle.

As a result, it is impossible to do.

Unless there is heavy artillery assistance.

Unfortunately, none of them had ever seen what Ye Qingshan’s Katyusha rocket launcher salvo looked like.

Because at that time, there were no rocket shells in the city.

They could only imagine Ye Qingshan’s Katyusha rocket artillery unit as being comparable to heavy artillery.

Because of this, Ye Qingshan’s Katyusha rocket launcher battalion remained intact in Ye Qingshan’s hands in the end.

A batch of special artillery without shells, no different from fire sticks.

However, no one expected that Ye Qingshan secretly built an arsenal.

Later, Yan Lao and his men worked day and night in the underground arsenal, producing rockets.

At this time, Ye Qingshan had enough rockets in his hands to fire three full salvos.

However, ever since the Japanese broke into the city, this rocket artillery battalion has been hidden by Ye Qingshan.

Has not been used.

The main reason is that there is no suitable opportunity. This kind of rocket launcher salvo is not suitable for urban street fighting.

And now, support the battle of Purple Mountain.

It was just the time when Ye Qingshan's Katyusha rocket artillery battalion came in handy again.

"The shells can be made. I now have a certain number of rockets in my hands."

Ye Qingshan said with a pursed lip.

"So, you now have a troop that is comparable to heavy artillery?"

Sun Yuanliang stared at Ye Qingshan with eyes wide open.

"That's it."

"Damn it, you're really good at hiding.

I have such a good thing in my hand, but I have kept it hidden until now. "

Ye Qingshan smiled bitterly: "It's not that I want to hide it, it's just that I haven't found a chance to use it.

This time, I know how hard the Teaching Corps fought on Purple Mountain, and I know it is not easy for you to go up there to support them.

Didn’t I just take it out?”

"Boy, this is a good reason."

"Damn it, since you have such a powerful artillery, what are we afraid of?

Tonight, we must teach the little devils a good lesson."

Commander Sun Yuanliang suddenly gained confidence.

"Okay, I'll ask the telegraph operator to send a message to Sun Mingxu.

Tell him to get ready now and have the rocket artillery battalion on standby."

Ye Qingshan quickly sent a telegram to Sun Mingxu.

The rocket artillery battalion had always been under the control of Sun Mingxu and was now hidden in the center of the city.

Soon, Sun Mingxu received Ye Qingshan's order.

"Haha, it's finally our rocket artillery battalion's turn.

Everyone, assemble.

Drive the artillery vehicles out for me, check the launch tubes and rockets, and get ready for battle."

Sun Mingxu rushed out of the command center excitedly and shouted to his officers.

"Unfortunately, we don't know the location of the Japs' heavy artillery positions.

Otherwise, I will have to use rocket launchers to clean up the mess for them."

Ye Qingshan said with some regret.

Since early morning, Ye Qingshan heard that the Japanese 16th Division outside the city used heavy artillery to bombard the Zijin Mountain position.

Ye Qingshan asked the 88th Division to find a way to find the location of the Japanese heavy artillery positions outside the city.

If found, it would be worth it for Ye Qingshan to use the rocket artillery battalion to destroy a heavy artillery unit of the Japanese.

But unfortunately, the Japanese learned from their previous experience and became more strict in protecting their heavy artillery units.

The 88th Division sent out a reconnaissance team, which searched for a long time but failed to locate the location of the Japanese heavy artillery unit.

In fact, it might have already been transferred.

This made Ye Qingshan's idea of ​​using the rocket artillery battalion to attack the Japanese heavy artillery positions fail.

"We really didn't find the location of the Japanese heavy artillery unit. It's probably very far away.

But we have roughly locked down the general location of a mountain artillery position of the Japanese outside the city."

Chief of Staff Chen Sunong suddenly said.

"Hmm? The location of the Japanese mountain artillery positions?

That’s fine. If I can’t eat beef, I can eat chicken.

where is it? "

Ye Qingshan immediately became interested and asked Chen Sunong.

Chen Sunong walked to the map, pointed to a location outside the city, and said, "It should be here.

During the day, our troops were often bombarded by the Japanese mountain artillery units.

After a long time, we roughly locked down their location."

Ye Qingshan shook his head: "No, the location is too large.

Need to be more precise.”

"Then we can only wait until tonight. After we take over Guanghua Gate, we will send a few reconnaissance teams over there to accurately confirm the location of the enemy's mountain artillery position."

"also!"

Soon, it was eight o'clock.

Before the battle, Sun Yuanliang brought Ye Qingshan to personally meet the 120 death squad members who were attacking Guanghua Gate tonight.

Tonight, there are about two battalions and about a thousand people from the 88th Division participating in the assault on Guanghua Gate.

There are not many troops.

There was no way. At this time, there were only about 88 people left in the th Division, and that was the result of Ye Qingshan replenishing their troops twice.

Among them, less than half are veterans.

For this reason, Division Commander Sun Yuanliang downsized the entire division before the battle to support Zijin Mountain.

The entire division was reduced to two regiments.

In addition to the thousand people who attacked Guanghua Gate tonight.

The other soldiers of the 88th Division were dispersed to the surrounding streets and urban areas to block the Japanese troops attacking from other directions and to protect the passage they had opened with great difficulty.
