Chapter 124 Artillery!

The perspective returns to the independent group.

Bases around Yangcun.

"Damn it, let the little devil run away..."

In the 14th regiment, the first battalion and the first company commander were being scolded with serious injuries, and the new regiment of soldiers who changed positions were cleaning up the battlefield-mainly collecting the corpses of the devils, and picking up the junk left by the devils.

With the popularization of the Czech style, the crooked handles and crooked handles of the devils are no longer appreciated by the troops, and they are all thrown directly to the local militia troops, but the grenadiers and [-] big covers will stay.

Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, patted his thigh in frustration, and greeted the devil with a series of eager greetings.

Last night, the little devils launched a night attack, and it was an attack by the whole alliance to attack the independent regiment's position, which greatly exceeded the independent regiment's expectations. The independent group defended very easily.

Not only did the little devil not take advantage, he also suffered a big loss, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and retreating hastily.

This battle also completely proved that the devil's brigade-level firepower was no longer comparable to that of the independent regiment.

In the battle last night, the one or two 82-type infantry artillery equipped by the Devil Brigade was suppressed by the two [-]-type mortars of the battalion, and they hardly played much role.

Of course, the natural accuracy disadvantage of the mortar makes the consumption of shells higher than that of the Type [-], but now that the independent regiment has enough ammunition, these are not problems.

Also proved.

After making up for the disadvantages of equipment, the troops of the Eighth Route Army can completely fight head-on with troops of the same size as the devils, and win the battle.

And it's a big win.

The battle loss ratio was as high as three to one.

But in the battle last night, the devils still showed a force that made the independent regiment feel troublesome-an artillery squadron directly under the wing, equipped with four [-]-style mountain cannons.

It has a long range, high precision, and great power. It has caused the independent group to suffer a lot many times, and made the devils of the independent group fly away several times.

If it weren't for these four cannons not being able to exert their full strength at night, the casualties of the independent regiment would definitely be more than this, and the results of the battle might be even less.

But things are relative.

The darkness restricted the use of the Devil's four mountain cannons, but it also restricted the use of the eighty mortars of various calibers in the front positions of the Independent Regiment.

In comparison, the independent regiment is more affected by the night.

Commander Li is not the one to be beaten. Back then, he dared to target the Sakata headquarters with only one mortar. Now, with half of the troops hidden, there are still [-] mortars...

Not long after the battle started, he asked Wang Chengzhu to lead the team to take over the Devil Artillery Squadron, and sent the second battalion to cooperate with Wang Chengzhu to fight.

Old Devil Duano also knows the importance of artillery,
He placed four 82-type mountain cannons three kilometers behind the position, away from the range of the [-]nd Independence Regiment. He also arranged an infantry squadron and a cavalry squadron around the artillery position, and asked the artillery to move positions frequently.

After undergoing in-depth training from the instructors of the system uncle, Wang Chengzhu has a deep understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of mortars, and also understands the overall strength of the artillery company of the independent regiment.

He first sent a large number of cavalry observers to look for the devils' artillery positions.

It has to be said that the Little Devils Artillery of the Duoye Wing is indeed elite, rich in experience, chooses the appropriate bombing position, and consciously uses forests, cols and other terrain and natural shelters to conceal the fireworks at the muzzle.

Even though they were very familiar with the terrain, it took the scouts sent by Wang Chengzhu an hour to track down the approximate location of the Devil's artillery.

After discovering the target, Wang Chengzhu asked the Second Battalion to attack the Devil Artillery repeatedly, attracting the attention of cavalry and infantry squadrons around the Devil Artillery Squadron, and forcing the Devil Artillery to continuously shift.

Then he brought four 82 mortars and approached in a concealed way, approaching two kilometers from the Devils artillery position.

This process is not easy.

The Devil Artillery was very vigilant, and would covertly stop shelling and shift positions if there was any disturbance. During the attack of the Second Battalion, in addition to facing the Devil Artillery's garrison squadron, it would also be blocked by other Devil troops.

It was also more difficult to lead the team to intersperse at night than expected.

The position of a devils unit is still commanded by the cautious and suspicious old devils. Even during the attack, even if it is completely suppressed by the fierce mortar firepower of the independent regiment, it still maintains its integrity, and there are few loopholes for penetration.

It was not until the morning that Wang Chengzhu found the opportunity to lead the team close to the position two kilometers away from the Devil Artillery, and launched an artillery attack.

It's a pity that when he shot, the devil had already started to retreat, and he was a few minutes late.

Wang Chengzhu could only vent his anger by cursing the devil.

"Zhuzi, why the hell did you let the little devil artillery run away?"

Next to him, Li Yunlong naturally wouldn't comfort him, and directly poked at Zhuzi's sore spot.

Li Yunlong is very clear.

Although Wang Chengzhu and the Second Battalion failed to kill the Devil's artillery, they also managed to contain the Devil's four mountain cannons, causing the Devil's artillery to move most of the time, which greatly interfered with the performance of the Devil's artillery.

But as a person brought out by himself, Li Datuan is very clear that Zhuzi is such a bastard that he cannot be praised...

As soon as he boasted, his tail went up to the sky.

"Head, this time it's labor and capital's business."

Wang Chengzhu gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Next time, I will definitely not let the devil artillery run away."

It's always shallow on paper...

At this moment, Wang Chengzhu thought of this sentence in his heart.

He learned a lot of artillery knowledge and artillery theory from the instructor at Boss Mo's side. Before the operation last night, he already had a completed plan in his mind, and even trained a long time ago.

But theory is theory and practice is reality.

During the actual combat, he led the team and encountered many unexpected problems.

Of course, although the battle failed this time, he had also accumulated a lot of actual combat experience. Next time, he was sure that the little devil cannon would not even try to escape.

He is Wang Chengzhu!

"Okay, just wait for your words."

Seeing that Zhuzi was still high-spirited, Li Yunlong patted Wang Chengzhu on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"Captain."

Wang Chengzhu saw the right opportunity and said:
"Next time, you can ask Boss Mo if there is a radio station?"

"It's best for a single soldier to operate."

"This time I fought against the little devil's artillery. The biggest problem is communication. The cavalry communicator found the crossing passage and the location of the devil's cannon, but it was too late to notify me."

"The information transmitted by the signal flares is limited, and it is easy to interfere with each other. The semaphore is completely useless at night."

"Okay, I'll ask next time."

Li Yunlong also felt that there was a communication problem in the independent group this time.

The Devils have a regiment of 300 people. The infantry brigade, artillery squadron, cavalry squadron, and regiment headquarters add up to nearly ten radio stations.

The Independent Regiment is currently twice as big as the Devils. He commands more than a dozen battalions, but none of them have one. There is no telephone installation, and they can only communicate with cavalry. The command response is much slower than that of the Devils.

If each battalion had several stations...

He really chased him out, killing all the way to Yangpo.

"Commander, this is the battle report from Colonel Tano."

Beiping, Naozaburo Okabe, who has been up all day and night, received a telegram from the old devil Tano.

"Battle report?"

Naozaburo Okabe walked over with a happy expression on his face.

The battle reports compiled yesterday were all about the locust army being beaten.

Strongholds, artillery towers, railway stations, and mines everywhere were attacked by the Tuba Road, and railways, bridges, and machinery and equipment were destroyed.

His heart was bleeding.

But suffering from insufficient troops and too many territories, he could only respond passively, while the traffic was still damaged, the marching speed was slow, and he had to face the harassment of the Eighth Route Army, and the support speed was slow.

Adding further to the loss...
The post department estimated in his heart that when the matter is over, the actual loss may be hundreds of millions of national currency.

After all, a single piece of Jingxing coal mine machinery and equipment is worth 3000 million national currency.

The Gangbu is very clear that the current empire of Japan is unable to make ends meet, and last year's fiscal deficit reached billions, and the country is focusing on the North China region to let the empire recover a little blood.

Now that he has suffered such a loss, some people in the country may want him to commit seppuku.

The reason why the Tuba Road can be so arrogant is that apart from the lack of locust troops, there is another main reason is that the Tuba Road has recently obtained a large number of weapons and ammunition.

As long as the independent regiment is defeated and Yangcun is destroyed,
