I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 77 The little devil is in a dilemma
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Okuda Muramasa of the 36st Battalion of the 224th Regiment of the 1th Infantry Division on the mountain road was indeed preparing to retreat.

Just 10 minutes ago, he was originally preparing to charge, defeat the Tuba Road blocking the road on the ridge in front, rush through the Hehekou, and continue to move forward.

But suddenly, the telegraph operator sent him a telegram, which completely changed his mind.

The telegram was sent by Major General Wu Yunnanshan, commander of the 37th Division in the rear.

They were ordered to stop advancing, return to Changzhi, stock up on supplies, and prepare for the next comprehensive sweep.

After receiving this telegram, Okuda Muramasa immediately sent it to the 224th Regiment Wing Headquarters to inquire about the reason for this order and whether it should be implemented.

Soon, Captain Adachi Yusuke of the 224th Regiment called him back, telling him that he had received news from the First Army Headquarters that the Yamazaki Battalion had been completely wiped out.

Now their 224th Regiment is in a state of solitude, and the situation is very critical. He is ordered to immediately execute Wu Yunnanshan's order - retreat!

At the end of the telegram, Adachi Yusuke also told him that the regiment was currently building fortifications [-] kilometers away to prepare for their retreat across the river. He also reminded him to be careful of the follow-up pursuit from Tubal Road.

Since both the division headquarters and the wing headquarters had confirmed that the mission had been cancelled, Okuda Muramasa certainly would not be stubborn and insisted on continuing to move forward, and immediately began to prepare for a retreat.

However, he was still very angry after being blocked by the Tubal Army for two hours and hundreds of Locust Army soldiers were killed and injured. The captain of the regiment just reminded him to be careful of the Tubal Army's pursuit, so he first arranged for the transfer of the wounded soldiers and prepared for the retreat. , give this bunch of bastards a powerful look!
So he called Captain Jiro Matsumoto, the captain of the artillery team.

"Matsumoto-kun, this group of thugs has delayed us for two hours. I order you to deal with them immediately!"

When Matsumoto Jiro heard this, he felt unhappy.

He thought to himself: I am an artillery team with just two Type [-] infantry cannons. How easy is it to destroy the enemy on the opposite position?

He had also observed carefully just now. Although the Tuba Road on the opposite side had crude firearms and lacked ammunition, the enemy had dug trenches and hid in the trenches to fire off guns. Even if he fired bombs, he would not be able to hurt many people with one shot!
But right now, he can't directly attack Okuda Muramasa, that would be courting death!
So he thought for a moment and then said respectfully:
"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, if we want to eliminate this group of Tubal Road, I'm afraid we can only cover them with firepower.

We also have two basic artillery shells. If we carry out rapid fire coverage, more than 100 shells from the two cannons will certainly be able to greatly damage the enemy even if they cannot completely eliminate them. "

He thought: I might as well shoot all the cannonballs to save you from making such unreasonable demands on me later!

Okuda Muramasa didn't know that Matsumoto Jiro was thinking of this idea. He thought that since he was going to retreat, he might as well shoot out all the artillery shells and save the heavy troops to drag them around.

The mountain road in this damn place is really difficult to walk, and carrying so many shells is also a burden.

I have to wade across the river later, torture!

So he nodded immediately:

"Yoshi, Matsumoto-kun, I order you to immediately cover this Tubal group's position with firepower and shoot out all our artillery shells!"

"Hi!"

Matsumoto Jiro immediately agreed, turned around and left, preparing to deploy the artillery bombardment.

However, before he could return to his team, he heard the sound of "Boom~Boom~Boom".

His expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
"Bombardment!"

"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, get down!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

At the Hehekou position, after the artillery of the secret service company started bombarding, it continued continuously without stopping at all.

Wang Gensheng commanded the artillery, not seeking accuracy, but only fire coverage, pouring artillery shells towards the little Japanese as quickly as possible.

The explosion made the little devil cry for father and mother!
The little devil never thought that when fighting the Eighth Route Army, he would be blown up by a cannon and unable to hold his head up.

This is so unscientific!

Isn't it a three-pronged attack?
When did it become a barrage of gunfire?

Where did all those shells come from?
Cannonballs cost no money, right?
Captain Okudamura was lying on the ground for a while. After hearing that his men were suffering heavy casualties and screaming repeatedly, he hurriedly and carefully raised his head and shouted to Jiro Matsumoto next to him:
"Matsumoto-kun, quickly command your men to counterattack and blow up the artillery on the [-]th Route!"

He didn't need to think about it to know that reinforcements must have come from the Tubal Road opposite, and there were a lot of reinforcements. It was estimated that there would be at least a brigade or even a division, otherwise there would be no way there would be so many artillery pieces.

This couldn't help but make him very worried. Tubalu wouldn't want to eat up his own brigade, right?
Otherwise, why would so many main troops be mobilized?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry - was Tubalu treating his Okuda brigade like dirt?

You actually want to eat yourself?
Do they think they are the trash of Yamazaki Jihei whose fame was so great that he was wiped out in one day?

It is tolerable, but what is unbearable! …

Facing Okuda Muramasa's order, Matsumoto Jiro groaned in his heart and quickly replied:
"Your Excellency, Captain, I heard the sound of cannons. There are two mountain cannons on the [-]th Route. Our infantry cannons may not be able to reach them!"

"idiot!
That's your problem. You are the artillery squad leader. I order you to fight back immediately and blow up the cannons on Tubal Road! "

Okudamura was facing the shrapnel flying in all directions, and he was very angry and roared.

He doesn't care whether it's mountain artillery or infantry artillery, they must be destroyed!
Jiro Matsumoto knew that if he dared to say another word, he might be beheaded by the captain.

I didn't dare to say anything anymore, so I could only agree to it bravely, then carefully got up and ran to the artillery position.

When he returned to the artillery position, he saw that his men were already braving enemy artillery fire, adjusting the direction and angle of the infantry cannon, and preparing to fire.

Seeing this situation, he was still very satisfied. He immediately pulled out the saber from his waist, swung it forward suddenly, and ordered:
"Gentlemen, destroy Tubal Road's artillery and defend the glory of our Great Fusang Empire's locust army!

fire! "

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

It has to be said that the professionalism of the Little Japanese artillerymen at this time was still very high. In one round of shelling, two artillery shells hit Wang Gensheng's artillery position, and the flying shrapnel immediately killed the two ammunition handlers.

Seeing this situation, Wang Gensheng quickly ordered:

"Keep up the mountain artillery fire and knock out the little devil's artillery for me!

Infantry artillery and mortars move their positions!quick! "

The Type 41 75mm mountain gun has a maximum range of more than 6000 meters.

At this moment, the two cannons were deployed by Wang Gensheng at a position of about 4000 meters. It was impossible to be hit by the Type 2700 infantry cannon of the Japs, which had a range of only more than [-] meters, so they could rain down bullets on the Japs without any scruples.

In this way, the eight cannons of the secret service company and the two infantry cannons of the Little Japanese Artillery started an artillery battle.

Eight cannons versus two cannons, and there were also two extremely powerful mountain cannons. The result of the artillery battle was obvious!

After more than 20 rounds of shelling, the two Type [-] infantry guns of the Little Japanese were completely destroyed, and the limbs of the Little Japanese artillerymen were blown away, which was terrible to watch.

However, Wang Gensheng also lost an infantry gun and a 90mm light mortar.

……

After blowing up the infantry artillery of the little Japanese, Wang Gensheng no longer had any scruples. He commanded the remaining six cannons and poured shells frantically towards the little Japanese's position.

Zhu Jiafu led his men to carry the shells, and was very busy and sweating profusely.

However, they did not feel tired at all. Instead, they felt that today was an eye-opener. They were able to see the Eighth Route Army using artillery to blow up the little Japanese with artillery. It was simply too enjoyable.

This damn thing is just like a legend. They have never heard of it, let alone seen it before!

Zhu Jiafu wished he could stop being the captain of the Laoshizi County brigade and directly join the secret service company, become an artilleryman, and also operate the mountain cannon that looked so powerful to blow up the Japs.
