Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 620 Long-range Artillery Coverage
When it was getting dark, two sneaky Japanese soldiers slipped out of the camp where the Japanese brigade headquarters was located, and they were heading in the southwest direction, which was where the reconnaissance company was located.

Previously, after learning that one of the Japanese troops departing from Shangqiu was reinforced by the [-]st Division, Dong Jiang immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Then Lin Zhengxiong was sent to lurk in with two soldiers in disguise to inquire and investigate the specific troop deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The two walked into a green gauze tent along the original road and found Dong Jiang.

"Why are you two back, where is Lin Zhengxiong?" Dong Jiang asked.

"Company commander, Lin Zhengxiong said that after the troops formally launch an attack, it will be dark, and he will stay in the little devil's camp to guide the artillery to the specific location!" said a soldier.

Dong Jiang's face changed when he heard the words. Lin Zhengxiong was left in the reconnaissance company because he was proficient in Japanese. Although he joined halfway, this guy could chat with anyone, and he had a good relationship with the soldiers of the reconnaissance company.

Dong Jiang never expected that Lin Zhengxiong, who usually looked at pity for his life, would take the initiative to take over the task of killing him at a critical moment, and immediately said: "Isn't this fucking nonsense?"

At this moment, the radio station on the side was beeping. After receiving the telegram, the telegraph operator immediately reported: "Company commander, the second and third teams have cleared the enemy's peripheral search in the west and south directions. Troops, ask if you can immediately respond to the main force!"

"Act immediately!" Dong Jiang said in a deep voice.

At this time, the main force led by Zhou Weihan had already set off, at most ten miles away from the location of the reconnaissance company. Dong Jiang also realized that it was impossible to retrieve Lin Zhengxiong at this time.

The screen turns.

Under the support of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, the main force arrived at the peripheral position of the reconnaissance company.

After Dong Jiang reported the situation in detail, Zhou Weihan nodded. At this time, the troops following him included the Xinyi Regiment, the Artillery Regiment, and four brigades composed of more than 1500 local armed forces.

I saw Zhou Weihan said: "I ordered the first battalion of the new first regiment and the first and second local armed brigades to attack the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army on the west side. , The Fourth Brigade attacked the Appeasement Army and the Japanese Army Joint Unit from the southwest!"

"Attack time should be dominated by artillery fire!"

"Yes!" The people present responded.

Once the order was issued, it was quickly notified to the First Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment. At the same time, Zhang Dabiao led the partial division to rush to the north. Zhou Weihan and the headquarters stayed in place. The main force of the regiment quietly advanced towards the Japanese Army Joint Headquarters.

As time passed, Zhou Weihan watched the second hand on the watch freeze at six o'clock: "Immediately notify the artillery regiment to fire."

Not far from the headquarters, the artillery regiment was arranged on a small hill. Six 105-type field guns, twelve [-]-type mountain guns, and two [-]-type howitzers were arranged separately.

This location is more than ten miles away from the [-]th Division of the Appeasement Army and the headquarters of the Japanese Army, which is farther than the intended target of the previous shelling.

This distance is already close to the maximum range of the Type [-] mountain artillery. Even if the artillery position is on a small hill, the devils cannot be seen at all.

As a result, it is necessary for the reconnaissance company to report the shelling effect by phone on the front line and adjust the shooting parameters at the same time.

On the artillery position, each artillery position has been adjusted to shoot according to the orientation parameters provided by the reconnaissance company.

I saw that the muzzles of six [-]-type field guns were aimed at the farther north, and the rest of the artillery was aimed at the camp where the Japanese army headquarters was located.

"Prepare for test shooting!" Shen Yulin shouted.

"put!"

After that, a shell flew out from each of the two positions.

Not far from the Japanese army headquarters camp, a reconnaissance company soldier who had sneaked into the Japanese army camp not long ago was lurking in a hidden place, watching a test-fired shell pass over the Japanese army camp.

"Why did you miss it?" The soldier scratched his head, and then picked up the microphone: "Hey, take the No. [-] station of the Artillery Corps!"

"I am number one, and the shooting parameters need to be adjusted,"

At the same time, in the headquarters tent, Kojima Kizang was surprised to hear the explosion near the camp, and at the same time denied that the shelling came from a regiment.

"Baga, why is there an explosion near the camp, contact the search force immediately!"

"Hi!" The adjutant responded hastily.

The camp outside was in chaos, and Lin Zhengxiong took advantage of the chaos to emerge from the vicinity of the Japanese army headquarters: "Quick, enemy attack, brigade commander, order to assemble to the headquarters immediately! Hurry up!"

Although a group of little devils from the [-]st Division in the camp looked at Lin Zhengxiong strangely, they happened to think that he was a member of the Brigade Headquarters of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade.

After hearing Lin Zhengxiong's shouts, a group of little devils gathered towards the Japanese army headquarters.

Seeing this, Lin Zhengxiong took out the flare gun hidden in his chest, fired three flares at the sky, and then ran out of the camp.

Just as the Japanese army was in a panic, more intense artillery fire hit.

In the camp, Kojima Jizang was yelling loudly: "Baga, who told you to gather at the headquarters? Why are you firing flares? Disperse immediately and beware of shelling by the Eighth Route Army!"

Then the group of little devils seemed to have heard the scream of shells piercing the sky from the sky, and they all looked up at the sky, only to see dozens of trails with flames flying towards their direction.

"The bombardment is a large-scale bombardment by the Eighth Route Army!" The adjutant looked at the sky in horror, and ran to the north with Xiaojiu Jizang.

However, before the other little devils had time to react, dozens of shells landed in the Japanese camp.

A deafening explosion sounded, and a huge fireball rose from the Japanese camp. Yu Wei carried shrapnel and killed all objects within the range.

Long-range artillery fire coverage does not need to shell precise targets, but only needs to rely on the number of artillery fire to kill the intended target on a large scale.

Intensive artillery fire fell into the Japanese camp like dumplings, and the little devil was thrown off his feet by the bombing.

The rate of fire of the Type 15 mountain guns was 20-600 rounds per minute. In just three minutes, nearly [-] shells fell into the Japanese camp with only twelve mountain guns.

"Brigade Commander, the appeasement army on the west side has also been shelled!"

At this time, Kojima Yoshizang looked at the scene in front of him with horror, and couldn't help feeling horrified: "Why does the Eighth Route Army have so many artillery pieces? The firepower is probably no less than that of the artillery regiment to which the division belongs!"

"Brigade commander, run!"

"Defeated, the imperial army is defeated!" Kojima Kichizo was unmoved. At this moment, he felt endless remorse in his heart, regretting that he should not have listened to Harada Kumakichi's words and withdrew his troops in time.

Immediately, under the guidance of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company, the artillery regiment began to extend its artillery fire to the north.

Under a new round of artillery fire, the Kojima Kizang Fort was extinguished in the flames.
