"We must find out as soon as possible what the transport plane dropped to the mopping up troops?" Looking at the parachutes and supplies slowly landing in front of him, Huang Yu's face suddenly became more serious than ever before, and he frowned and analyzed.
"These airdrops are probably Duan Peng's trump card. They are the basis for the Japanese and puppet troops to continue raiding us."
"The sooner we figure out what it is, the sooner we can prepare, and the greater the chance of defeating the Japs again."
Duan Peng then showed an eager expression: "Captain, why don't I lead some people into the Japanese camp and grab a box of supplies?"
"As long as the artillery provides us with sufficient artillery support and disrupts the little devils, the special operations team can fish in troubled waters and complete the mission."
"No, you are just a kid, and all the escort planes in the sky are just decorations." Huang Yu refused on the spot.
Seeing that Duan Peng still had an expression of unwillingness to give up, he wanted to fight with him again, so he directly cursed.
"Although the special operations team is very powerful, no matter how powerful the team members are, they are still made of flesh and blood. Just one aerial bomb can kill everyone. I really feel like I am invulnerable."
"Don't forget my original intention of forming a special forces team after winning a few battles outside."
"It took a lot of effort to train the special forces into an army and form combat effectiveness. If an aerial bomb wipes out all of them, I will have no place to cry."
Having said that, Duan Peng had to give up the idea of attacking the Japanese and puppet army garrison, and then stared at Huang Yu and continued to ask: "Then what should we do?"
"All the supplies dropped by the planes fell into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops. If we didn't snatch them, we would have waited until they took the initiative to deliver them to us."
Huang Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "The method you mentioned is really possible..."
"In a moment we will let the little devil take the initiative to reveal his trump card."
"Don't the special forces want to fight the Japanese? I'll give you this chance."
"After the Japanese and puppet troops set off, I don't care what methods you use to make them pay for every step they take, and you also have to find ways to slow down their march."
"I'll take the guard company and artillery to Poling."
"The terrain there is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The little Japs didn't use it, but we can."
"I plan to stop the Japanese and puppet troops there and force them to use secret weapons."
…………
Major General Ikeda felt that his hope of conquering Mao'er Mountain today was getting slimmer.
From the moment the troops set off, the sounds of gunfire and explosions never stopped.
As long as there is a firefight, no matter where it comes from, the mopping up troops will more or less suffer some casualties.
If we continue to fight at this loss rate, by the time the troops reach Mao'er Mountain, the casualties of 300 people will be light.
What's more important is that in the face of this kind of cold-blooded attack, both the artillery units under his command and the aviation forces in the sky are at a loss and have no way to break the situation.
No matter how rich they are, they cannot afford to expend an aerial bomb and several mortar shells for an Eighth Route Army.
Besides, the Eighth Route Army would move as soon as it fired a shot. Whether it was aviation or artillery, it would take time to prepare for counterattack.
By the time they join the fight, the opponent has already fled a hundred meters away, and even aerial bombs may not be able to kill him.
If not, a lot of artillery shells and aerial bombs will be wasted, and nothing will be harvested in the end.
The gas bombs I just got have no effect either.
Although the power is great, the opponent is too weak. Using a few poison gas bombs to eliminate one or two Eighth Route Army infantry is like killing a chicken with a bull's-eye, which is too disadvantageous.
Only in positional warfare can poison gas bombs be effective and cause heavy casualties to the enemy.
The use of gas bombs must also be sudden.
If the Eighth Route Army knew that it was equipped with poison gas bombs, it would definitely make anti-gas preparations in advance, and the combat effectiveness in the decisive battle would be greatly reduced.
Major General Ikeda did not want the poison gas bombs to be exposed to the Eighth Route Army in order to eliminate a few sneak attackers, and the gain would outweigh the losses.
After some analysis, he could only regard himself as blind and ignored the troops marching.
Pay the price and go straight to Mao'er Mountain.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions suddenly sounded at the front of the team. More than a dozen black smoke rose into the sky in the explosion. The smoke quickly filled the surroundings, and soon enveloped dozens of Japanese.
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of explosions quickly reached the ears of Major General Ikeda. At the same time, he realized that the shelling in front of him was not the artillery attack he had experienced before, and immediately ordered: "The aviation force immediately finds the Eighth Route Army artillery position and destroys it."
"We were not satisfied with the bombing last night for half the night. We still dared to come out after dawn. We don't take aviation troops seriously. We are simply seeking death."
Ishii Shaozuo also felt that the Eighth Route Army's coming forward now was no different than seeking death, so he suggested: "Should we also prepare the artillery for battle?"
"The number of aerial bombs carried by the aircraft is limited, and the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions are too scattered. Even an all-out attack cannot destroy a few artillery positions."
"We have poisonous gas bombs. Although it takes time for the poisonous smoke to spread, the damage range is wide. The Eighth Route Army artillery also needs time to dismantle and transfer the artillery. If they are offset by each other, the Eighth Route Army artillery will definitely not be able to escape the poison gas bomb attack."
Major General Ikeda did not refuse.
We have reached the foot of Mao'er Mountain here. By taking down Poling, the troops can attack Mao'er Mountain head-on.
Now that the poison gas bombs are taken out, the Eighth Route Army will not have time to make anti-gas preparations in advance and can only be bombed on the battlefield.
He immediately began to give orders: "I agree to use gas bombs...but you must wait for my order."
"Buzz buzz..." The roar of the engine overhead became louder and louder, and the plane dived faster and faster, heading straight into an artillery position the pilot had just seen.
Two mortars were set up there, with about a dozen gunners distributed around them.
Seeing the Japanese planes rushing towards them, these soldiers seemed to be discussing it, dropped their artillery and fled in all directions.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Each artillery position only fired four or five rounds of artillery shells before moving, giving our artillerymen no chance to counterattack them. "
Major General Ikeda answered confidently: "Last night was last night, and today is today."
"The killing range of poison gas bombs is much larger than that of ordinary artillery shells. As long as we concentrate twice the number of mortars and use poison gas bombs to destroy several of their artillery positions and kill the chickens as a warning to the monkeys, the remaining Eighth Route Army will definitely not dare to continue the fight. We can take the opportunity to kill Go to Mao'er Mountain, attack the Eighth Route Army's garrison, and force them to come out and fight us."
…………
Huang Yuzheng was watching the battlefield anxiously. Although the artillery fire against the Japanese had not weakened, the bombing still caused a lot of casualties to the artillery.
There are less than 400 people left in the guerrilla brigade and the guard company to continue fighting. If one is sacrificed, one will be lost. At least one platoon was lost just now.
Although they worked hard and achieved many results, they did not force the Japanese and puppet troops to use their trump card.
If the Japanese attack with another plane, the artillery casualties will increase, and the losses will be great.
"Captain, gas bombs, the kid is firing gas bombs at the artillery unit..." Duan Peng suddenly shouted, his words full of panic.
He had previously experienced the use of gas bombs by Japs in northwestern Shanxi.
A burst of poisonous smoke drifted over, and entire companies of soldiers died on the battlefield. There was no one left alive. The position was like a hell on earth, too miserable to behold.
He still vividly remembers that battle.
Unexpectedly, the little devils here also use poison gas bombs. The guerrilla brigade has almost never experienced poison gas warfare, and they don’t know how to prevent gas bombs. Many people have never even heard of poison gas bombs.
The Japanese used poison gas bombs against them, and the soldiers would probably die without knowing what happened.
Huang Yu immediately showed an expression of realization on his face, frowning and ordered: "Poison gas bombs are the trump card for the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep us away. Send a retreat signal immediately, and all participating troops will withdraw from the battlefield, faster."
"From now on, except for the special forces, no other troops can attack the Japs rashly without my order."
The signal flares signaling the retreat quickly took off, but the poisonous gas spread quickly.
Three artillery positions were simultaneously shrouded in poisonous gas.
Just as Duan Peng thought, the gunners of the guerrilla brigade who participated in the war had never seen poison gas bombs and did not know what the red smoke emitted by the poison gas bombs was.
By the time they realized the danger, the artillery position was surrounded by poisonous gas, and there was no way to escape even if they wanted to break out.
