Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 470 Grabbing the Cannon (First Update!)

The Japanese army's temporary headquarters, the brigade commander was also frightened by the sudden explosion, and immediately arranged for people to check the situation.

As soon as the dispatched troops left, an officer rushed in and reported out of breath.

"General, it's heavy artillery. Tubalu is equipped with heavy artillery!"

"Our hilltop highlands in the northeast are being attacked by heavy artillery from the Tuba Route. The troops who have just been reinforced have suffered heavy losses. We request reinforcements!"

After the report was over, before the brigade leader had time to speak, another second lieutenant rushed in.

"General, the Field Artillery Brigade was hit by heavy artillery from the Tuba Route, and suffered heavy losses!"

"Tubalu used at least one company of heavy mortars, and the first round of shelling destroyed one of our field artillery on the spot! It is definitely not an opponent to confront the field artillery brigade head-on. Our captain has ordered the troops to withdraw from the artillery position!"

"Baga, your captain is a coward, not worthy of being an officer of the Imperial Japanese Army!" The opponent gave up his position as soon as he fired a round of shells, and he didn't even have the courage to fight. Shame, no matter which officer is put on it, he will be furious.

"Hey, Your Excellency the brigade commander taught you a lesson!" The artillery second lieutenant lowered his head, not daring to say a word of rebuttal.

The chief of staff broke the siege in a timely manner: "General calm down, it is indeed wrong to retreat without a counterattack. However, at least he has retained more than 100 elite gunners of the Imperial Army. He has worked as an artilleryman in a humble job and knows how to use heavy mortars. power!"

"Although it is not as good as a heavy howitzer of the same caliber, it has an advantage. It has a fast rate of fire and the artillery is very light, which is convenient for us to transfer."

"In short-range shooting, the field artillery we are equipped with is indeed no match for heavy mortars."

"Even if the field artillery brigade sticks to its position and continues to fight, it will end in annihilation of the entire army. In this case, it is better to withdraw the gunners. As long as there are gunners alive and equipped, the field artillery brigade can form combat power at any time!"

The head of the brigade looked a lot better, but he didn't last long and stared at the chief of staff and asked back.

"We must find a way to knock out the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army. The heavy artillery is too powerful. As long as the heavy artillery is not destroyed, our warriors may be torn to pieces by shells at any time!"

"The humble job will be arranged immediately!" the chief of staff said!
"Heavy mortars are not without weaknesses, and the biggest weakness is the short range. As long as we find the right opportunity, the medium mortars we equip can shoot at them and destroy them!"

As the producer of the 120mm password heavy mortar, Wang Ping must be aware of the shortcomings of the mortar.

Therefore, when he gave the order, Wang Ping specially emphasized that the number of shells fired by a mortar at the same point should not exceed five.Even if the Japanese army planned to use mortars to counterattack, it would be difficult to locate the specific location of the heavy mortars.

Of course, except during the day when the devil planes arrive.The speed of the plane is too fast, and it can stare at the ground target and chase it.

Even if each mortar fires only three shells, it is impossible to escape the pursuit of the planes in the sky.

Under the cover of Wang Ping's two heavy artillery companies, a detachment finally broke through the last line of defense of the Japanese army and entered the road in only half an hour.

In the former enemy headquarters of the first division, the communications staff rushed in with a look of excitement.

"Chief, a detachment has completed its first penetration against the Japanese and puppet troops. Now the Japanese and puppet troops have been divided into two, and the independent brigade has moved into place. It is launching an attack on the Japanese troops from the point of penetration to the front and back, pulling the two Japanese and puppet troops apart. The distance between the army!"

"Captain Chen reported that the heavy artillery battalion supported by the headquarters played a big role in the interspersed process."

"Currently, one team has been divided into two, each equipped with a heavy artillery company to continue interspersing with the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, and strive to divide the remaining Japanese and puppet troops into four within two hours!"

"The third detachment reported that more than half of the forward troops of the Japanese and puppet troops had been killed or injured, and the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were compressed into three highlands to defend. According to the current attack speed, the battle can be over in three hours at most!"

"No, three hours is too long, the battle must end in one and a half hours!" Commander Yang said decisively.

"After the main force of the Japanese puppet army is divided into four, a large number of troops are required to cooperate with one team to complete the division, and then surround and attack the divided Japanese and puppet army. The three detachments must end the battle within one and a half hours, and then quickly surround the Japanese puppet army closest to them , Continue to attack!"

"Isn't there a company in the heavy artillery battalion that has no combat missions! Send it to the three detachments and end the battle quickly!"

On the battlefield, the power of heavy artillery is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Under the cover of heavy artillery, the Japanese and puppet troops standing in front of a team, no matter how strong the defensive position was, did not hold on for more than half an hour.

Therefore, in less than two hours, the remaining 1000 puppet troops excluding the forwards were divided into four.

There is no suspense in the next battle.

After a day and two nights of bloody battles, the puppet troops of more than 1 days, except for a small number of breakouts, were either wiped out or captured by the Eighth Route Army.

"Report to the chief, a detachment was ordered to complete the task. Eliminate 450 Japanese soldiers, more than 800 imperial alliance troops, and captured more than 100 imperial alliance troops!" Chen detachment leader of a detachment rushed into the headquarters Excited to report.

"Is there a lot of casualties in the troops!" As the well-deserved main force of the military division, the results and casualties of a team are the most concerned.Knowing the results of the battle is very satisfying, and the next thing that worries everyone is the casualties.

The smile on Chen’s detachment leader’s face disappeared immediately, and he replied in a heavy tone: “The entire detachment had more than 8000 people before the war, with a total of more than 4000 casualties, of which more than 2000 people died directly. There were 500 people in the whole team before the battle, but at the end of the battle, less than 800 people were able to move, most of the others died, and a few were seriously injured!"

Speaking of this, Captain Chen seemed to have thought of something, and said to Commander Yang with bright eyes.

"If it wasn't for the strengthening of the military region to give us a heavy artillery battalion, there would be more than 5000 casualties!"

"Chief, a team has been injured this time. I don't have any other requirements. I just hope that I can give us some heavy mortars used on the battlefield because of the heavy casualties of the troops! For a company, I only need One company will do!"

The captain of the second detachment next to him immediately shouted: "Chief, I have seen the power of heavy mortars. They are bigger than mountain artillery. Once they are arranged, a company can completely suppress the Japanese army. A field artillery brigade has no chance of counterattack. Our second detachment The casualties are not small, I want a company!"

Several detachment leaders quarreled over heavy mortars in front of Commander Yang and Commander Nie!

Commander Yang was also frightened by the performance of the heavy mortars on the battlefield, and wanted to keep this heavy mortar battalion.

Therefore, facing the quarrels of his subordinates, he not only did not stop him, but also showed a fleeting smile on his face.

Then he looked at Commander Nie with a helpless expression.

"Commander? Look here!"
