Xu Gaoxiang briefly talked about the data of this mortar, "This is the American M1-81mm mortar. The total gun weighs about 61 kilograms. The maximum range is 3,000 meters. It is equipped with conventional high-explosive bombs, smoke bombs and illumination bombs. !".
Xu Gaoxiang said, pointing to other open wooden boxes, "There are a total of 50 rounds of artillery shells here, including 30 high-explosive bombs, 10 smoke bombs and 10 illumination bombs!"
"And the killing radius of high-explosive bombs is 23 meters, which is no smaller than that kid's mountain cannon!"
Li Yunlong looked at the mortar's bowl-sized muzzle and its maximum range of 3 kilometers, which was comparable to the lethality of mountain artillery. He thought about it in his mind and suddenly smiled, "Hahaha, I came at the right time!".
According to the little devil's usual way of looking at people with his nostrils, the little devil would never have imagined that Tubal Road, which he could not see, actually had a large-caliber mortar.
"Haha, according to the little devil's urine, their headquarters may be located on the edge of the battle line. Then we, Lao Li, will be welcome!"
Li Yunlong turned to look at Xu Gaoxiang. This brother, the God of Wealth, must be protected. There are still hundreds of guns that he has not yet obtained! We have to ask Brother Xu to evacuate quickly before the little devils come over.
"Since my guard is here, brother, let's not waste any time. Please leave me an address, and I will send someone to find you when the time comes."
Xu Gaoxiang had already prepared for it. This was also the benefit of being bound to the only trading partner. "Brother, I'm new here and I don't have a fixed place to stay, but...".
As he said that, under Li Yunlong's curious eyes, he took out two black square pagers, the size of a palm.
When he got it, Xu Gaoxiang was also a little weird. Looking at the appearance without looking at the functions, it was exactly the same as the BB machine he had seen when he was a child, but what about the functions...
"This is a pair of directional communicators that can make voice contact, just like this!" Xu Gaoxiang handed one of them to Li Yunlong.
Then he raised the communicator in his hand and pointed to a button on the side, "Just press and hold this button first, and then speak to it!".
After Xu Gaoxiang finished speaking, the communicator in Li Yunlong's hand lit up red and vibrated twice. Li Yunlong almost threw it out, "I was shocked!".
Seeing Xu Gaoxiang's cheerful look, Li Yunlong glared, "Brother Xu, you actually saw our old Li's jokes!".
Following Xu Gaoxiang's instructions, Li Yunlong pressed the button on the other side, and the words Xu Gaoxiang just said came out from the communicator.
"Hahaha, great stuff!"
Li Yunlong carefully put the communicator into his arms, and when he was arranging for Huzi to find someone to help Wang Chengzhu move the cannon, the communicator came over.
"Report to the captain, the Japanese army is approaching!"
Li Yunlong's face was serious, "Brother, you evacuate first, brother, I will go meet these little devils!".
Xu Gaoxiang's face straightened, "Okay, Lao Li, kill a few more Japs for me. We'll see you in the future!".
Without hesitation, Li Yunlong left a soldier to lead Xu Gaoxiang, then personally picked up a box of artillery shells, and the group quickly rushed to the front line.
The three of them, Xu Gaoxiang, followed the soldiers and looked at the resolute-faced soldiers of the Fourth Company rushing to the front line. They felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts. It was a kind of momentum and spirit that they had never felt in peacetime.
Looking at the backs of the people in Team 5 who saved him from a distance, he said, "I hope we can meet again next time!".
Xu Gaoxiang walked silently on the mountain path, with boulders and Arnold tightly protecting him in front and behind. At this time, a strong explosion sounded from Cangyun Ridge.
The soldier leading the way turned back anxiously, and Xu Gaoxiang understood what he meant, "Comrade, just show me the way! Also, take this gun with you!".
With that said, Xu Gaoxiang opened Arnold's coat behind him, exchanged it for a shell gun again, turned around and handed it to the soldier.
The soldier did not refuse, and took the shell gun and magazine, "Follow this path over the mountain in front, and then walk 10 miles eastward. There is a town, which is the territory of the Jinsui Army. You will be safe when you get there!" ".
After explaining the route, the soldier saluted Xu Gaoxiang, and then immediately turned back and rushed to the Cangyunling position.
Xu Gaoxiang sighed and looked at the main peak of Cangyun Ridge from a distance, "Sigh... I wonder if this mortar can reduce casualties to some extent. The pillars should not be sacrificed anymore, right?".
"Let's go", looking away, Xu Gaoxiang and the other three gradually moved away.
As soon as the mortars were placed at the main peak position of Cangyunling, Li Yunlong ran non-stop in the trench, came to the observation post, lay down on the edge of the trench, raised his binoculars and observed carefully.
At the foot of the undulating mountains in the distance, Japanese soldiers like locusts swarmed in. They had already spread out their formation and formed an encirclement force with both east and west wings flying together, encompassing the three main peaks of Cangyun Ridge.
Opposite the new regiment's position, behind the Japanese troops, under a slope, the captain of the third regiment of the fourth brigade, Nobutsu Sakata, took the telescope from the staff and listened to his report.
Nobuyuki Sakata climbed up the slope and began to carefully observe the opposite position, "How is the situation?".
"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, the enemy has established a blocking position on the main peak of Cangyun Ridge. Now our Fourth Brigade has completed the outflanking on the left and right wings, and the Third Brigade is ready to attack from the front!"
After the staff officer finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully.
Nobuyuki Sakata raised his eyebrows and said, "Omosile, for switching from mobile warfare to positional warfare so quickly, it seems that he is an opponent worth fighting. I hope it won't be too boring!".
Nobuyuki Sakata raised his right hand and said, "Order!"
"Hi!", the staff officer immediately opened the folder in his hand and started recording.
"The artillery squadron will carry out fire suppression, the third battalion will attack the main position of Cangyun Ridge from the front, and the fourth battalion will carry out flank penetration on the left and right. We must completely annihilate the enemy on the opposite side before noon!"
"The attack begins!"
As the order was issued, the Third Regiment responded quickly. The artillery squadron's six Type 92 infantry cannons began to adjust and fire at Zhuyuan. The Third Regiment quickly mobilized its troops.
At the same time, Zhang Dabiao was lying next to Li Yunlong in a new group of trenches.
Li Yunlong, who had been closely observing the movements of the Japs, immediately saw a squadron of Japs beginning to gather quickly and put down his binoculars, "Da Biao, please tell me, the Japs' artillery bombardment is coming!".
Zhang Dabiao immediately shouted loudly and ran in the trench, "Artillery bombardment! Artillery bombardment! Artillery bombardment...".
Li Yunlong also roared loudly, "Hurry! Hide for me!".
Huzi took out a copper whistle, puffed up his cheeks and blew it, and suddenly whistles started to sound one after another on the battlefield.
Upon hearing the whistle, the soldiers reacted quickly and calmly lay down and hid in the anti-gun holes. The hidden observation posts stood firm and stared at the movements of the little Japanese.
Just a few minutes later, the sound of shells breaking through the sky was heard, "Boom...Boom...Boom...".
"Boom!", an artillery shell fell to the ground outside the trench, exploding into a cloud of dust. After a few seconds, the roar sounded continuously, and one artillery shell after another landed on the new regiment's position.
On the flank, one column of the decisive column was bombarded at the same time, and the battle began.
