Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 258 Expected Explosion (Second Update!)

Wang Ping, who was in a hurry, immediately ordered: "Let the troops hurry up, shoot while charging, and shoot the little devils who bomb the artillery. If it is late, everything on the road will be blown up by the little devils!"

"Yes, commander! Guard platoon, follow me!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan was also very anxious, and rushed to the battlefield with a guard platoon.

"Shoot, there are devils who want to blow up the cannon, shoot and kill them!" In the middle of the independent regiment attacking troops, they saw three devil soldiers surrounding a field gun and were about to throw a grenade into the barrel.The platoon leader was clever, and called the machine gunners around him to shoot there.

"Da da da..." A shuttle of bullets passed by, and countless sparks splashed out when the bullet hit the cannon, and the three devils were also smashed into a sieve by the bullets that suddenly swept over.

"Boom!" The grenade that hadn't had time to be thrown into the gun barrel exploded in the devil's hand, instantly blasting the devil's arm into pieces.

"There are also devils who want to blow up cannons, shoot!" Such voices resounded in many places on the battlefield.

Many artillery pieces and trucks of weapons and ammunition were preserved in the bullets fired by the Independent Regiment.

But even so, nearly half of the artillery and one-third of the supplies and ammunition on the road were still bombed.

"Surround the devils and prepare to attack!" Wang Ping's anger can be imagined when so much equipment and ammunition were blown up by the devils right under his nose.He directly regarded the devil who hid on the mountain as the target of his venting, and then roared an order.

"Where is Zhang Bing, artillery battalion commander, bring all your people here, and use all the cannons that can be used on the road. If there is no way to shoot ten shells, let the devils on the mountain taste the taste of being bombed first!"

"As for Zhang Yunshan, I will give you the guard company and the reconnaissance platoon. From the tunnel reserved by the engineer company to the top of the mountain, give the devil a center to bloom. I will launch an attack below and cover you. Remember to bring grenades and grenades, If I don’t have enough, I will replenish it from the ammunition captured by the devils. No matter what, I will eat these devils today and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!”

After going up the mountain, Tanabe Zhongzuo did not directly occupy the top of the mountain.

As the artillery commander, Tanabe knew very well that if the Eighth Route Army wanted to fire artillery before launching an attack, the top of the mountain must be the focus of the artillery.

Without repairing the underground headquarters in advance, staying on the top of the mountain to command the battle is like being bombed, no different from being sent to death.It's better to stay on the mountainside and be with the troops, it's safer.

Therefore, Tanabe only placed a few observation posts on the top of the mountain to keep an eye on the surrounding situation for himself, and did not send even a single soldier to the top of the mountain.

"Mr. Tanabe, I took a look at it just now. The imperial army successfully retreated to the mountain exceeds 1000 people. Everyone has a gun and there is enough ammunition!" After hurriedly walking to Tian Bian, he reported happily.

"Yoxi!" Tanabe, who was commanding troops to fight positional warfare for the first time, breathed a sigh of relief.

But it didn't take long for Tanabe's brows to wrinkle again.

At this time, because the Japanese army detonated many weapons and ammunition, there were still many raging fires on the road.

With the help of these fires, Tanaka, holding a binoculars, clearly saw that there were still nearly ten mountain artillery pieces on the road that had not been bombed. Including infantry artillery pieces, the total number exceeded twenty.

And the Eighth Route Army occupying the highway is trying to push these artillery pieces, so that the muzzles of the artillery pieces are aimed at the hills they are holding on to.

If these artillery were allowed to fire, and there were no fortifications on the mountain, everyone would be exposed to artillery fire.

Even if there are more than 1000 people in his hands, it cannot withstand the repeated shelling of more than 20 mountain artillery.

"We must find a way to knock down these mountain cannons. We cannot let the Eighth Route Army fire them, or we will all be blown to pieces!" Zhongzuo Tanabe immediately had an unshakable thought in his mind.Then he stared at the captain of the supply brigade and asked.

"Where are the heavy weapons? Did you bring heavy weapons up here!"

"There are quite a few light machine guns, more than thirty of them! There are twelve heavy machine guns, and twenty grenade launchers. The mortars are too heavy, so only five are brought up! However, there are very few shells, only Five boxes, no way to shoot ten shells!" The supply captain immediately told the number he knew.

"Baga! This heavy weapon is not enough!" Nakazuo Tanabe shouted angrily, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Just as he finished speaking, the screaming sound of shells that instantly changed Tian Bian's expression reached his ears.

"Baga, it's bombardment, the Eighth Route Army is firing, quickly hide!"

"Boom boom boom..." The violent explosion soon covered up all the sounds on the battlefield. Many soldiers were caught off guard by the shells that fell and were instantly blown to pieces.

Of course, more soldiers were blown up or overturned, and then died instantly.

Soon, the hill was shrouded in artillery fire.

In the violent explosion, the Japanese army on the hill fell directly into chaos.

Wang Ping took the opportunity to order the troops to attack the mountain.

Of course, it wasn't a real offense, it was just a lot of gunfire, and people kept shouting slogans behind them.

Anyway, the mountain was covered by thick smoke from the explosion, and with the cover of night, the Japanese army didn't know it.

However, after the swishing bullets flew over, Zhongzuo Tanabe took it seriously, and immediately ordered the troops to counterattack, staring at the artillery fire to counterattack.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the mountain all focused their eyes on the foot of the mountain, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would rush up.

"Come on, there are only a few devil observation posts on the top of the mountain, and the reconnaissance platoon will kill them!" With the help of the firelight from the mountainside, Zhang Yunshan had a panoramic view of the top of the mountain, and the devil observation posts could see clearly.

Because the eyes of the devils' observation posts were all around, the explosions that kept ringing in their ears covered up a lot of sounds to a certain extent.

The eight soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon came out of the tunnel and none of them found it.

When they realized the danger, several people showed that they had stabbed cold bayonets into their backs.

Although there was a lot of movement in the whole operation, under the cover of the gunfire, no one was alarmed.

There are no guns with ten rounds, and they are finished in less than 2 minutes.

The chaotic ghosts on the mountainside gradually stabilized, shooting desperately towards the foot of the mountain to block the so-called Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.There are as many as a hundred soldiers who have drilled out of the tunnel on the top of the mountain.

Except for a dozen machine gunners holding a machine gun in each hand, the other soldiers held a grenade in their hands, and many people held a grenade in one hand and a Mauser pistol in the other.

"Go to the back of the devils on the mountainside, and hit them with grenades when they reach the grenade throwing range. As long as the devils are not defeated, keep throwing grenades, and charge until they collapse, beat the dogs in the water, and destroy them!" Staring at the devils who kept shooting on the mountainside, Zhang Yunshan was looking forward to the order.

Last night's raid was also directed by him alone. Seeing the heavy casualties of the Japanese army under the attack of the grenade storm, Zhang Yunshan especially enjoyed and relieved his anger.

Therefore, he was looking forward to the scene of the devil facing the thunderstorm for a while.

Then he personally took out a grenade, held it in his hand, and threw it at the devil at any time.
