under fire

Chapter 780 Parallel Advancement
Zhaozhuang Village on the plain is just an ordinary village, a little different from other villages.

In normal seasons, four or five miles to the east of Zhaozhuang Village, the Wei River flows into the Grand Canal from south to northeast.

Due to the drought, the people near the river in the upper reaches of the Wei River cut off the water. When they reached the section of Zhaozhuang Village, the originally slow-flowing river on the plain stopped flowing long ago.

The low-lying rivers are not completely dry. If the rivers are reclaimed and cultivated, the land will appear very fertile.

But there was no water in the river, so the waterwheels naturally couldn't transfer the little water in the river to the plain ditches, resulting in no water everywhere on the plain, so that it was impossible to grow crops.

The remaining common people have to take great risks to reclaim wasteland in the river!

One may be killed by the mopping up devils, on the other hand, in summer, even if God opens his eyes and it rains twice, all the crops planted by the common people in the river will be washed away by the river.

Faced with such a situation, most of the people on the plain had to choose to leave their homes and leave their homes!

Only in the villages along the river, there are still some people who continue to wait here. They hope that it will rain in spring. Seeing that spring is here, the sun still rises every day, but there is no rain.

There are always people who take chances and start to open up wasteland and farm land in the river. Their hope is very simple, until the summer harvest, God must not rain!
The information Captain Yang could grasp was not comprehensive, and even the information obtained by many staff members could not be delivered to him immediately.

On the plain, the devil's maneuverability is too strong. The original plan to clear the reactionary forces of Huidaomen in the north has changed due to the negotiation between the two sides.

Just now the four of them were still discussing how to fight this battle, it must be fought!
The reason is very simple, we must let those ghosts and snake gods who know the way realize that Balu is not so easy to mess with!Otherwise, as soon as the Eighth Route troops leave, those young people will jump out to fight against the Japanese forces under the lure of the devils.

Unexpectedly, the originally planned supply of supplementary troops did not arrive, but the superiors arranged for a national army guerrilla team to come!

The enemy also sent reinforcements with a company-sized devil and an unknown number of security forces, the size of which should be around 200.

The strength of both sides became subtle again.

All the wounded were sent away. The independent regiment plus Wang Peng's reinforcements currently numbered more than 300, and their weapons and equipment were not bad.

This time there was nothing to worry about, the people had moved away long ago, anyway, the houses in the nearby villages had been burned down by the devils several times, even if the devils burned them again, it would be all right.

Devils have armored vehicles, which are almost invincible on the plains, but that thing is nothing off the road!

It can only be used as a long-distance firepower point.

Long Fanzhang sat across from Hu Yi and Captain Yang: "... If you can destroy that armored vehicle, he has more than 100 devils, and my brother has not paid attention to it! This time, I have brought two mortars... Listen Say... your army invented the mortar flat-fire tactic, can you tell me about it?"

Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment, the mortar was useless without shells, and immediately turned his head to look at Hu Yi, meaning, let him find a way to get the support surnamed Long to light shells.

As for asking him to ask for shells from his allies, it is absolutely impossible!What is the National Army?That is the sworn enemy!

Hu Yi understood the meaning in Gao Yidao's eyes. He had heard it when he was studying in the division. A simple mortar was fired directly, and a wall of soil was dug to fix the seat. The sorghum pole pushes the grenade into the barrel of the gun, so that the firing pin at the bottom of the mortar hits the primer, which detonates the gunpowder at the tail and the additional charge wrapped around the reduced tail and warhead to control the range.

To put it bluntly, it is just changing the firing by its own gravity to using a sorghum pole to push the firing. However, Hu Yi never saw the instructor demonstrate it when he was studying, and it is said to be very unsafe.

But to really change it into a direct-fire gun, the mortar must be modified, and the fixed firing pin at the bottom of the barrel should be changed to a movable firing pin.

In terms of method, it is not difficult, and it is not a military secret, because the national army is rich and powerful, and when encountering a difficult situation, it will directly push the mountain cannon into battle, which is not like the Eighth Route Army without heavy firepower!

After Hu Yi briefly explained the principle, Long Fanzhang next to him was stunned for a moment: "According to you, it is definitely unrealistic to modify it now... But, will the shell be stuck when poked with a sorghum pole? It will explode."

Hu Yi was speechless, and the entire independent regiment let Li Xiang randomly fire a few shots: "I haven't tried it, I just heard that some brother troops used this method to attack the devil's artillery building. Anyway, it's done, so it shouldn't be stuck!"

Long Fanzhang nodded: "Then you can try it when the time comes, it's just blowing up a cannon, it's just that the artillery is precious."

Just a cannon?Gao Yidao was stunned for a moment, and quickly interjected: "Why don't you be responsible for the shooting parameters, and Battalion Commander Hu also has artillery under his command, let Battalion Commander Hu arrange people?"

Long Fanzhang was a little surprised. In his impression, many regiments of the Eighth Route Army did not have mortars, and the battalion commander in front of him
However, he was overjoyed: "Do you have mortars?"

"There are two shells that were all fired last night!" Gao Yidao immediately became interested. Although the cannons were fired by bandits yesterday, the shells were indeed fired yesterday.

...

The sun is slightly westward, one o'clock.

After lunch in the gun tower.

Lieutenant Devil's battle arrangements have been released.

Under his personal command, the army divided into three groups and pressed southward directly along the three demolished gun towers.

The attacking team was even divided into five tiers!

The bandits rushed forward, with one squad for each route as the first scouting department, followed by most of the bandits.

Then behind is the reorganized Royal Association Army's battalion.

The devil followed the command of the Imperial Association Army, and the convoy could maneuver to the two wings in the middle at any time, to provide firepower to the bandits and the Imperial Association Army attacking in front!
At the end is the baggage team civilian husband brought by the bandits.

Perhaps it was because both the bandit soldiers and the imperial association army were ambushed at night, and this time they adopted a steady and steady parallel advance tactic.

Let the lieutenant be very strange, those bandits did not raise any opinions on the arrangement of the pre-war.
Maybe they really want to take revenge, no... it should be because the imperial army is behind them, and they have become more courageous.

In the Chinese language, this should be called a dog fighting against others. There is also a word called a fox marrying a tiger. What is it?can't remember
Half an hour later, the leading bandit squad arrived at the gun tower.

The south side of the blockade ditch is endless. Without the suspension bridge, the attacking bandits will not be able to stop. They directly fill the blockade ditch with bricks and bricks from the demolished gun towers. The armored vehicles of the imperial army will have to pass here later. .

A security guard stared tiredly and red-eyed, thinking whether he could approach the armored vehicle and throw a grenade into the observation hole of the armored vehicle.

But the devils were very careful. As the Imperial Association Army, they had no chance of getting close to the armored vehicles.

We can only think of a way after the battle starts.

Lieutenant Guizi commanded one or two thousand numbers. Although most of them were mobs, it made him feel the joy of being a captain.

He didn't expect these vulnerable bandit soldiers and the Imperial Association Army to really wipe out those rebels!

It is said that Balu runs fast on two legs, and if he can't beat him, he will definitely run.

What he cares about now is how to make this group of mobs also become helpers of the empire in governing the occupied areas. The higher-ups have issued strict orders to restore local law and order as soon as possible.

In his eyes, it is useless to kill a few guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the national army. On this poor plain, all that should be robbed have been robbed long ago.

It is said that in some places in the south where the people starved to death, the imperial army has begun to distribute food and porridge to the poor so that they can cultivate the land well, and they can collect food in the summer harvest.

Whether those ordinary people die or not has nothing to do with him. In his eyes, can those who can't even wear clothes be considered human beings?
With the desolate scenery on the plain, Lieutenant Guizi didn't have much tension before the coming of the war. He only wanted to move his body when Spring came out.

"Report to Taijun, the village in front is the place where our department fought the guerrillas for the first time yesterday." Wang Sanzhu rode on the horse and reported solemnly to the ghost lieutenant sitting on the side of the motorcycle.

　In addition, according to Hu Yi's promotion to the battalion commander without joining the party, he must go through a very complicated review.

　　How difficult is it to be a battalion commander for those who voted from the national army? You can search for Ouyang Pingbo
　　In the front, it is capitalized that Team Leader Zheng's review of Hu Yi is considered to be a hole.
