Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 697 The Devil Paniced (First Update!)

Mountain cannons are different from mortars in that they are more than twice as powerful.

More importantly, mountain artillery can not only kill people, but also destroy positions.

Four mountain cannon shells fell, and the two heavy machine gun positions that the devil had painstakingly repaired were directly blown away.

The powerful lethality within a radius of ten meters blows up a dozen devil infantry around them.

Then the four mountain cannons fired at the devil's guard position as if the shells did not cost money.

It is said to be a position, but it is actually the devil lying behind the top of the slope, relying on the terrain to hide and shoot, and there is no trench to hide in.

The shells from the mountain cannons hit each other accurately, and even if they didn't hit directly, they could still affect the devils nearby.

At this time, it is useless even if the devils light and heavy machine gunners keep moving the machine gun position.

The mountain cannon shells falling from the sky do not have a fixed aim. Whoever is unlucky will become the next target of the mountain cannon.

"Sir, we don't have trenches, and we can't stand the artillery shelling. The loss of troops is too great. We have casualties every time a shell hits us. Now the number of soldiers lost to the mountain artillery has exceeded 30, and there are four light and heavy machine guns. !"

The squadron leader was very helpless, watching a heavy machine gun being blown up by shells, there was no solution except to be anxious!

"No, this is simply being passively beaten, it's a massacre! You can't continue fighting like this. You are here to command and withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army. I will go to the captain. This situation must change, otherwise the Eighth Route Army only needs to bomb it with shells. Let's all blow up!"

Lieutenant Zuo Qinggang's face was very ugly, and the mountain artillery squadron suddenly exposed by the new regiment made him more sure that the Eighth Route Army was attacking him by force.

Mountain cannons are so powerful that even in the field troops of the Imperial Army, only regiment-sized troops can deploy them.

The reason why the imperial army was able to match all opponents on the battlefield and killed the Chinese army was that the mountain artillery played a very important role.

But now, this powerful heavy weapon is actually in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy is using it to attack himself.

As soon as Lieutenant Qinggang calmed down with a gloomy face, a tragic picture of his subordinates being blown away by the mountain cannon, bloody and bloody, would appear in his mind.

"Sir, this battle can no longer be fought like this. This is not a battle at all, it's a massacre!" The squadron leader shouted in pain as soon as he rushed over with his face full of gunpowder.

"I have a strengthened squadron, plus a security force, more than 200 people. I lost more than 10 people in less than 100 minutes. Now that the mountain artillery troops of the Eighth Route Army have fired, our losses will definitely be even greater!"

Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang still underestimated the loss on the front line.

Therefore, the squadron leader's report directly stunned him, and it took him a long time to react.

"You're right. Our troops are all elite. Even if we are going to die, we should die on the battlefield with the enemy instead of being blown to death without even seeing the opponent!"

Speaking of this, Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang suddenly thought of the scene where he used artillery to bombard the defenders of the Chinese army on other battlefields.

After a burst of overwhelming artillery fire, the Chinese defenders were almost dead, if not wiped out.

And what I need to do is to rush to the battlefield with a rifle with a good bayonet, and reap the lives of the remaining Chinese troops!

"Could this be retribution, I will be bombed like them, and then be wiped out here by the new group!" Qinggang Lieutenant Zuo suddenly had this very bold idea in his mind, and then broke out in cold sweat, and it stopped Can't live!

"Sir, what did you say!" The anxious squadron leader asked with a frown, not realizing that the team leader had already thought of their retreat.

Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang immediately calmed himself down: "I said I agree with your idea, can this battle continue like this?"

"However, it is definitely not possible to break out of the encirclement now. It will provide more opportunities for the Eighth Route Army to attack us. After all, it is more suitable for the Eighth Route Army to fight at night. Therefore, we can only use the terrain and stick to this place until dawn!"

"As long as the air force arrives at dawn, the Eighth Route Army attacking us will retreat."

The squadron leader frowned and reminded: "But the Eighth Route Army has artillery, not only mortars, but also mountain artillery. Now there are at least four hours before the dawn air force arrives. I don't know if the troops can hold on under their artillery fire." Four hours!"

"Sure!" Lieutenant Qing Gang replied with a firm face.

"I'll give you another infantry squad, and a heavy machine gun squad. Be sure to withstand the Eighth Route Army's attack for at least an hour!"

"Third Squadron, Fourth Squadron, go and dig trenches behind you immediately. If two squadrons dig together, they should be able to dig a trench in an hour!"

"The trenches can minimize the power of the mountain artillery and protect our soldiers. Although the mortars can hit the troops hidden in the trenches, the eight-way mortars have been held back by our artillery squadron, and the number is limited. The line of defense has little effect!"

The squadron leader immediately assured: "Please rest assured, sir, unless all the soldiers are killed in battle, otherwise, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to break through our defense line!"

The Rongjun led the fourth battalion to lurk on the other side of the Japanese garrison for almost an hour. No matter how his subordinates called for a fight, he always answered them with one sentence: "Be safe and don't be impatient, the time has not yet come.

Suddenly, the expression on Rong Jun's face changed.

Among the devils standing in front of them, except for a security force of the No. [-] Squadron who was still holding guns, everyone else was retreating.

"Comrades, our chance has come!" Rong Jun ordered with excitement in his eyes.

"Infantry artillery, mortars, all set up. The tenth company, the eleventh company, and the twelve company are all ready to attack!"

"The artillery concentrated all the artillery fire, and launched a 2-minute artillery attack on the Japanese security positions. After that, the artillery fire was extended, and the reinforcements that the devils might send were blocked with artillery shells as much as possible!"

"Infantry, charge forward as soon as the shelling starts!"

"The ghosts stopped 50 meters before the formation. We are all veterans. We should know that the error of mortar shelling is very small. 50 meters before the formation is definitely a safe distance!"

"After the artillery fire is extended, all light and heavy machine guns are fired, and the infantry all attack, occupy the devil's guard position, then deploy defenses on the spot, and turn to defense!"

Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang personally commanded two squadrons to repair trenches.

In order to prevent artillery, the trenches were not built in a straight line, but curved.In this way, even if the shell hits the trench, it can only hurt the devils next to the trench, and the ones farther away will not be touched at all.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." suddenly, the ear-piercing scream sounded behind him also.

With his mouth open, the shocked Lieutenant Qing Gang hadn't reacted when a violent explosion sounded from the security position behind him.

"How is it possible? Why does the Xinyi Regiment still have so many artillery pieces! Sir, there is at least one mortar battery and one infantry artillery battery behind us on the Eighth Route!" The deputy captain next to him was also frightened, and his speech was a bit incoherent.

The stunned Lieutenant Qinggang reacted quickly: "Attack back and forth! Bageya Road, the new regiment wants to attack us front and rear, kill us!"

"There is only one infantry squad on guard at the back, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the attack. The third squadron, assemble immediately, reinforce the security squad behind, and withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Others continue to dig trenches, hurry up. The new regiment has so many artillery, if there are no trenches, those of us will not last until dawn!"

"Also, send a telegram to the headquarters, report the situation, and request reinforcements!"

"The air force will come over at dawn and reinforce us, the sooner the better!"
