Chapter 1434: I have a new love, I have forgotten my old love (First update)

Headquarters of the 1st Regiment of the Northward Detachment.

Several battalion commanders all gathered in front of Huang Yu with happy faces, rushing to report their battle results.

"Commander... the Third Battalion, with the cooperation of the Flying Thunder Cannon, successfully wiped out all the counterattack forces of the Kwantung Army. Our own casualties were less than a hundred, and more than half of them were caused by our proactive attack on the firepower points and defense lines outside the garrison. We only lost one infantry platoon in the encirclement and annihilation of the Kwantung Army's counterattack forces." Third Battalion Commander Hong Cheng reported excitedly.

Although we have fought many battles with the Kono Division before, none of them was as exciting as tonight.

Not only were the casualties small, but the results were also very great.

What’s more important is that the whole battle was concluded quickly without any delay.

In less than ten minutes, the two squadrons of Kwantung Army were completely killed by themselves.

Thinking of the ambush he had just experienced, Hong Cheng's face immediately flashed with admiration, and he continued to report: "Those flying thunder cannons are more powerful than I thought."

"Although it's not very accurate, we don't need it in the battle tonight."

"As long as the explosive packs are thrown at the positions of the Kwantung Army's counterattack troops, a large area will be blown up."

"Among the two squadrons that were wiped out, more than half of the Kwantung Army were killed by the flying thunder cannons, and the number of Kwantung Army killed by the infantry siege was less than two squads."

"After we rushed into the battlefield, many Kwantung Army soldiers were still in a daze because the Flying Thunder Cannon was too lethal and the shock wave from the explosion was too strong. It was not until our bullets shot them into sieves that the devils reacted, but it was too late..."

Chief of Staff Wei Dayong was unwilling to be left behind and said: "Captain..."

"The Second Battalion also wiped out all the counterattack forces of the Kwantung Army..."

"I just did some statistics. Except for the Kwantung Army's counterattack troops in the south of the Fifth Battalion, which were very cautious and slow in counterattack, not all of them entered the pocket formation. One or two squads escaped under the attack of our flying thunder cannons. All other Kwantung Army counterattack troops were wiped out."

"In addition, we attacked the Kwantung Army's firepower points and blockades and killed the Japanese."

"The total strength of the Koike Regiment should have been reduced to about 1,500 to 1,600 people after we killed the Japanese through guerrilla warfare and night raids a few days ago. And it is mainly composed of artillery and logistics troops, supplemented by infantry that can fight us head-on."

"I suggest that we seize the opportunity to launch an attack directly towards the Koike regiment's base and completely wipe them out here tonight."

Although the other battalion commanders didn't say anything, they all stared at him with eager expressions.

Huang Yu knew without asking that they also wanted to continue fighting.

We'll kill you while you're ill. We'll wipe out the Koike Regiment in one battle and cut off a finger of the Kwantung Army's mopping-up force.

Huang Yu did not discourage everyone's enthusiasm and answered directly: "We must fight, after all, we can't miss the opportunity."

"But we still need to discuss how to fight specifically and how to eliminate the Koike Unit at the lowest cost."

The third battalion commander Cao Xing replied without thinking, "What's there to think about?"

"We have the powerful weapon, the Flying Thunder Cannon. Not to mention that there are only 1,500 to 1,600 people left in the Koike Regiment, even if they still have 2,000 to 3,000 people left... we can surround the Flying Thunder Cannon King and his men with more than a hundred Flying Thunder Cannons and launch explosive packs at the same time..."

"My dear..."

"More than a hundred explosive packs exploded at the same time. I can't even imagine what the scene would be like."

"If nothing else..."

"The Kwantung Army guarding the frontline will surely be devastated." "There are only 1,500 to 1,600 Kwantung Army left. It will be easy for the Flying Thunder Cannon to kill 400 to 500 of them in one round. The remaining thousand or so Kwantung Army will surely be gunners and baggage soldiers. We will charge into their camp and end the battle with close combat. The remaining Kwantung Army will immediately become a piece of fat meat in our mouths, and we can eat them however we want."

Wei Dayong is the person who has spent the longest time with Huang Yu. He is from northwest Shanxi and has used Flying Thunder Cannon extensively on the battlefield. He is very familiar with the weaknesses and loopholes of Flying Thunder Cannon on the battlefield.

He shook his head and replied, "Captain Hong..."

"You think it's too simple."

"The Kwantung Army has already suffered a loss from our Flying Thunder Cannon once, and they will definitely not suffer a loss a second time."

"Short range and poor accuracy... these are the two most fatal shortcomings of the Flying Thunder Cannon."

"Especially the disadvantage of short range means that we have to deploy flying thunder cannons under the noses of the Kwantung Army to have a chance to throw explosive packs to the Kwantung Army's base. Otherwise, no matter how heavy the casualties of the Koike Regiment are, the flying thunder cannons will not threaten their safety."

"The battle time is limited, we don't have enough time to complete the trenches and fortifications."

"This means that our flying thunder artillery units must be exposed in front of the Japanese army to set up the flying thunder artillery barrels.

"The Kwantung Army that entered the mountains to encircle us is equipped with a large number of mortars and grenade launchers, which are the killer weapons to attack the flying thunder cannon. The Kwantung Army will definitely not agree to us setting up flying thunder cannons under their noses."

"I can guarantee that..."

"As long as our flying thunder artillery units appear around the Koike regiment's base, the Kwantung Army will gather mortars and grenade launchers to attack them and prevent them from approaching the base."

"So it would definitely not work to rashly send out the Flying Thunder Cannon to join the attack without any preparation."

As soon as Wei Dayong finished speaking, several battalion commanders frowned at the same time as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Obviously, everyone had the same idea of ​​concentrating their flying thunder artillery to attack the Koike Regiment's headquarters, but they did not expect that this idea would be rejected by the Chief of Staff as soon as it was proposed.

For a moment, everyone frowned and fell into deep thought.

The offensive plan in their minds was rejected, and they could only think of other ways to attack.

But apart from the Flying Thunder Cannon, they did not have much advantage over the Kwantung Army's Koike Regiment, so it was very difficult to find a way out in a short period of time.

Huang Yu spoke at the right time: "You have found a new love and forgotten the old love..."

"After seeing the powerful killing power of the Flying Thunder Cannon on the battlefield, all I could think about was the Flying Thunder Cannon, and I forgot about the mortars that our troops also have in large quantities."

"We can't set up the Flying Thunder Cannon right under the noses of the Kwantung Army, so we'll use the mortars to set up the cannons 700 to 800 meters away from the battlefield, and disperse the artillery positions to attack a point in the Koike Regiment's base, smash a hole with the shells, cover the troops to charge into the base, and engage in a melee with the remnants of the Kwantung Army."

"As long as the enemy and I are intertwined, the mortars they are equipped with will be useless on the battlefield."

"And the Flying Thunder Cannon, which is suitable for close-range firing, can dominate the entire battlefield."

"So you guys are stuck in a dead end."

"As long as we can find a way to get our troops to successfully break into the Koike Regiment's base and engage in a melee with the remnants of the Koike Regiment, we will definitely win this battle."
