Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1127 Changing the Tactics ([-]rd update!)
"Woooooooo..."

More than a dozen shells flew towards the Japanese artillery position in the middle of the village with a howling sound. Before Major Miyamoto could react, the captain of the artillery squadron's expression changed suddenly.

"Baga, it's the mountain cannon, we were targeted by the mountain cannon, we should disperse and move immediately~"

"Boom boom boom..." As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded beside him.

A mortar shell just hit him and exploded, and the hot air wave swept over him. Before he could react, he was overturned, and then fell to the ground, losing his intuition.

Sixteen artillery pieces fired for 1 minute before stopping.

In the end, most of the artillery deployed by the devils in the middle of the village was destroyed, and only two mortars were snatched out, almost losing their combat effectiveness!

"Sir, the artillery position has been devastated and suffered heavy losses. The Eighth Route Army outside the village is equipped with at least one company of mountain artillery, as well as infantry artillery and mortars. The number and power of the artillery surpass ours!" While the explosion was still going on, A second lieutenant from the artillery squadron rushed over and reported.

"Boom boom boom..."

Before Major Miyamoto could react from the shock, the explosion sounded near him.

"Sir, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has started shelling our position!"

"Pay attention to concealment. We must withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army. The Second Squadron is ready to fight and is ready to join the battle at any time!" Major Miyamoto finally came to his senses and ordered with a calm face.

"Also, report to your Excellency, Captain, we were attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The opponent was equipped with mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and a large number of heavy machine guns! Our department, Zhanghu Village, is holding the position and holding them back. Your Excellency Captain dispatched heavy troops to outflank them and annihilate them all outside Zhanghu Village!"

Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of heavy machine gun bullets~

The devils who participated in the mopping up were all veterans who had fought on the battlefield for several years, and they knew very well how to survive the shelling and save their lives.

After 1 minute of artillery preparation, the artillery in Xiong Changhe's hand fired more than [-] shells directly at the Japanese positions.

The earth wall, which was no more than one meter high, was blown up and there were gaps everywhere.

The houses behind the earthen walls were also bombed and collapsed, and the battlefield was full of ruined walls and shell craters after the bombing.

"The Eighth Route Army is coming, enter the position immediately and prepare to fight!" After patting the mud covered on his body, Major Miyamoto, who was closely protected by the guards, shouted.

More than 180 Japanese soldiers in a squadron, and more than 120 people survived in the end

Quickly get up from the ground, or hide behind the ruined wall, or lie directly in the crater, holding the weapon and staring ahead.

"Da da da……"

At this time, there was heavy machine gun fire outside the village, and the swishing bullets flew towards the position like rain, flying backwards close to the little devil's head, so that the devil didn't even have a chance to raise his head.

Shao Zuo Miyamoto was again frightened by the heavy machine gun firepower exposed by the Eighth Route Army.

Artillery, heavy machine guns, both in number and firepower, are even more than an infantry brigade of our own.He couldn't imagine how many Eighth Route Army troops gathered outside the village, and how many hidden heavy firepower had not been exposed.

It took a long time to react, and then he gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The Eighth Route Army actually has [-] heavy machine guns, Bage Yalu~heavy machine gun squadron, grenades, counterattack immediately, kill these heavy firepower for me!"

"Light machine guns, riflemen, grenadiers, stare at the infantry and shoot me, kill their attacking troops!"

Bullets came and went, and the Eighth Route Army who was constantly attacking and the Japanese hiding behind the earthen walls were killed.

"Commander Xiong Battalion, the devil's marksmanship is so good, he used rifles and light machine guns to resist the attack of our company!" Zhou Tao, the commander of the [-]st Independent Battalion, reported with a heartache on his face.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the implicit meaning in the words was to let the troops withdraw.

"Da da da……"

Suddenly, the firepower of the Japanese army at the entrance of the village increased sharply, and Xiong Changhe frowned.

"The devil's follow-up troops left in the village have joined the battle, let the attacking troops withdraw immediately, and other troops cover."

"The artillery is firing now, the Japanese army position at the entrance of the village, the firepower will attack in one minute, and the artillery will be fired immediately~"

Only half of a company's attacking troops were withdrawn in the end, and the devils guarding the entrance of the village also lost thirty or forty people in the sudden artillery attack because they did not escape in time.

"Battalion Commander, report from the reconnaissance platoon, an infantry brigade on each of the left and right flanks, dragging the infantry artillery to attack us!" A correspondent rushed over and reported.

"They came over very fast!"

Liang Cheng, the instructor of the first battalion, reminded: "Should we also send the first battalion up, together with the newly formed first battalion, each deal with the devils as an infantry brigade~"

Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied: "It's useless, the devils in the two brigades are only five kilometers away from here, and they won't be able to drag them for long! And even if we do, we won't be able to take down the little devils in front of us!"

"The little devils are too cautious, and they are completely defensive. Without absolute superiority in troops and firepower, it is impossible for us to kill them in a short time..."

"Then we have fought for so long today, and the loss of so many troops will be in vain!" Liang Cheng asked resignedly.

Xiong Changhe didn't speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

"I have~"

Soon, Xiong Changhe's frown relaxed.

"Commander Zhou, I will take away all the artillery company and heavy machine gun company in your hands. Are you sure you can block the devils in the village for me? One hour, as long as you persist here for one hour, you can retreat!"

"Just stuck in the village and not attacking?" Zhou Tao frowned and asked back!
"No attack!" Xiong Changhe affirmed.

"It's safe to say so~ The artillery of the Japanese and puppet troops in the village is gone. If we only defend but not attack, I am confident that we can hold the entrance of the village for at least an hour!" Zhou Tao's face gradually became firm, and he answered very positively.

Xiong Changhe immediately turned his attention to his old partner Liang Cheng.

"Old Liang, I know that you were also a military commander before. It was only when our new regiment was short of cadres that you transferred to the political workers' side. This time, you will also go to the battlefield."

"You take two infantry companies from the first battalion and start now. No matter what method you use, hold back the Japanese infantry brigade coming from the east for at least an hour. After an hour, the troops will retreat directly!"

"It's okay to just hold them back!" Liang Cheng replied confidently.

"All other troops follow me, now go to reinforce the new battalion!"

"One company from the new first battalion will set off now to slow down the marching speed of the Japanese reinforcements to the west. The others and I will prepare a pocket formation for the devils two kilometers away and ambush them!"

"Battalion Commander, you want to annihilate them..." Liang Cheng already understood Xiong Changhe's thoughts, and subconsciously asked.

Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied: "I am self-aware. With our strength and time, it would be impossible to kill them. Therefore, I only intend to injure them severely and then rob them. I have consumed so many weapons and ammunition tonight. If you don't grab something to go back, that would be too bad!"
