Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 380 Set fire
At this time, Wang Xuexin was leading the troops to squat in the woods to prepare... The col is too narrow and can only be passed in batches.

Li Yunlong's order was that the Jinsui army would pass first, and the independent regiment would cover it.

It's not that Li Yunlong is selfless, he is actually an extremely defensive person, no matter what good things happen, the first thing he thinks of is his own troops.

But at the same time Li Yunlong is a person who values ​​the loyalty of the world.

He said to Sun Ming: "Adjutant Sun, it's rare that you are willing to fight devils with us. If you respect me a foot, I will return you a foot. When you break through the siege, you go ahead and the independent regiment covers it!"

"Captain Li, how can this be done..." Sun Ming had a faint feeling that the target of the devil's siege this time was the independent regiment. Logically speaking, the independent regiment should break through first, so there is no reason for the target to cover it.

"Don't say anything!" Li Yunlong stretched out his big hand and interrupted Sun Ming: "You, Sun Ming, are a man, I can't let the devils surround you if I say anything. If this gets out, I, Li Yunlong, can't get along That's it! That's it! "

After finishing it, he added: "But Adjutant Sun, you have to take care of your subordinates when you turn around. Today, if a devil can find out our details so clearly, there must be an inner ghost!"

"Yes!" Sun Ming was a little ashamed. He also guessed that there might be an inner ghost, and he was also suspicious of his subordinates.

There is no way, who made the former Jinsui army a rebellion of the establishment, it is strange not to make people suspicious.

In the end, Li Yunlong shook Sun Ming's hand, and confessed: "No matter what happens after rushing over, don't look back, we will meet later!"

"There will be a time later!" Sun Ming stood up and saluted.

Li Yunlong's move was unimaginable to Sun Ming.

Because even the 358 regiment does not have the phenomenon of leaving danger to oneself and opportunities to others under selective circumstances.

This is a chance to survive. There is only such a life in a lifetime, and it doesn't seem to be that important in their eyes.

But it seems to be very important, because each of them loves their own revolutionary cause, which means they know the value of survival.

On the contrary, there are many people in the Jinsui Army who live in a daze, but these people are terribly afraid of death.

Therefore, when Sun Ming led his troops to rush to the col, he felt a little guilty, as if he owed the Eighth Route Army something.

When the Jinsui Army broke through, Li Yunlong organized a battalion to charge towards the hilltop position.

Wang Xuexin took a look and found that the devil's hilltop position was constructed very cleverly.

Its distance seems to have been measured in advance. Using a high place to make the throwing cannon have a longer range can hit the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army's [-] small guns with the same range cannot hit the devils.

This made it very embarrassing for the soldiers charging to the top of the mountain at a low place, and one team rushed up and another team was beaten down.

Wang Xuexin ran to the flank for a while, raised the binoculars and looked... faintly saw the grass and shrubs where the devil was hiding all the way to the foot of the reverse slope, and looked at the wind direction, it was blowing in the direction of the devil.

In addition, Wang Xuexin estimated that there would be a large number of devils from the reverse slope to reinforce the position on the top of the mountain, or they would hide in the reverse slope and wait to charge.

So Wang Xuexin didn't hesitate, waved his hands to the back, and shouted: "Little Cannon, come with me!"

The [-]th Small Cannon is actually a kind of mortar, and it should have been used more intensively, such as forming a regiment-owned artillery company and the like.

But the [-]th cannon was developed to fight against the devil's grenades.

The Devils grenade launchers were scattered in the company, and of course the Eighth Route Army also deployed [-] small guns in the company.

In fact, this is also for the needs of reverse slope operations... Reverse slope operations often need to hide in tunnels to avoid artillery, and then drill out to fight.

If the [-] small guns are used in a concentrated manner, the gunners will frequently alternately focus on avoiding the guns and disperse the action, which is obviously a nonsense.

Therefore, according to actual combat needs, the independent regiment dispersed them into various units to increase firepower and fight freely.

Under normal circumstances, each company has three [-] small guns, with an average of one per row.

Wang Xuexin's Seventh Company had four [-]-point cannons, the extra one was controlled by Wang Xuexin, and Xie Baoqing was directly in command, and the cannon would follow wherever his deputy company commander strengthened.

At this time, Wang Xuexin called Wu Zero Xiaopao, and Xie Baoqing pulled all the Xiaopao shooters up.

"Company commander!" Xie Baoqing asked, "Are you going to give the devils a hard time?"

"What's black?" Wang Xuexin replied while running forward, "Let's make red for the devils!"

Before Xie Baoqing could react, Wang Xuexin stopped, then raised his head towards the reverse slope, turned around and ordered: "Incendiary bombs, fire eight rounds, the longest distance!"

Xie Baoqing was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart, the reverse slope is on the other side of the ridge line, and he can't see anything, so is it useful to hit like this?
But Xie Baoqing was only stunned for a while, and then he answered "Yes" and passed on the order.

The [-]th Small Cannon shooter quickly got ready, holding a red-painted incendiary bomb in his hand.

"Let go!" Wang Xuexin gave an order, and the soldiers stuffed the shells into the barrel, and after a few "thumps", the shells flew towards the other side.

"Let go!" Wang Xuexin ordered again, and then fired four more shells.

Just after the fight, Wang Xuexin ordered to retreat.

Xie Baoqing was puzzled for a while, he thought that Wang Xuexin would order the main force to charge at this moment, but he didn't expect... to withdraw like this?

Although we are fighting guerrillas, we can't just shoot a few shells secretly and run away like this?
The First Battalion is still fighting fiercely!
But an order is an order, Xie Baoqing was a little reluctant, but he still ordered the gunner to put away the small cannon and retreat.

Then Xie Baoqing discovered that Wang Xuexin was right.

Because not long after, dozens of devils emerged from the ridge, shooting guns "bang bang" from behind.

As soon as the gunners turned around, they went into the woods, and Zhang Qingcai hurriedly organized his men to cover.

What Xie Baoqing didn't expect was that at this time, the reverse slope was already on fire, and there were faint screams of panic and screams of being ignited.

It was only then that Xie Baoqing understood what the company commander meant by "give the devil a hit".

This is indeed the case for backslopes.

One side of this mountain is yin and the other side is yang, and the reverse slope has a lot of sunlight and heavy rainfall, so there are dense grasses and shrubs growing half a person's height, and there are only a few sparse grasslands on the front slope.

The range of the [-] cannon can't reach the top of the hill, but it can ignite the grass on the reverse slope to let the fire spread naturally.

In this way, the devils stationed near the top of the mountain can be forced or even driven out.

Seeing this situation, Nomura Naoka couldn't help turning pale with anger.

At this point, he has only two choices:

One is to move to the north, but this means letting go of the col to let the Eighth Route Army pass.

The other is to rush to the positive slope, because the vegetation on the positive slope is less likely to be affected by the fire, but this means that there is no advantage in fighting the enemy face to face.
