The Japanese soldiers heard the sudden sound of gunfire and quickly found cover to hide, but the first battalion opened fire with all their strength at this time.
How could the Japanese have escaped? He was so pressed that he couldn't lift his head for a while.
Lieutenant Commander Asai from behind saw that this was completely ineffective and shouted angrily:
"Artillery squadron, hurry up and knock down the Tubal Road position for me."
The Japanese artillery that had just been packed up was busy again. This is endless, isn't it? It's almost dark, and they are still fighting. Doesn't such a ruthless army need a rest?
"Hey~..."
"Avoid the gun!" Qian Zhengyang shouted loudly.
The experienced veteran took the red-eyed recruit and hid in the individual soldier's pit.
Some recruits were frightened to the point of weakness when they heard the sound of artillery shells on the battlefield for the first time. The veterans kicked them over and dragged them away.
At this moment, the artillery shell fell, "Bang!" The high-explosive bomb weighing 3.8 kilograms exploded on the Eighth Route Army's position, and the exploded soil flew into the sky.
All the soldiers hid in the individual pits, covering their ears and opening their mouths wide to prevent excessive sound from piercing their eardrums.
Japs
Six artillery pieces continued to attack for more than ten minutes. Just when the Japanese bombardment was coming, the Wen Gu brothers and sisters had already arrived at the artillery position of the first battalion.
"Captain Su, the Japanese artillery position has been exposed. Why don't you fire?"
Su Qing, the artillery commander of the first battalion, looked a little ugly, "A little story, although the entire first battalion has 6 cannons, I am the only one in the entire artillery company who can calculate the bombardment of Zhu Yuan.
Moreover, it was already dark and the line of sight was blocked, making it difficult to prepare to hit the Japanese artillery positions. "
Without saying a word, Wen Gu walked up to the artillery position with Wen Xin. The two of them were responsible for a cannon respectively. As for the Japanese artillery position, the bombardment of Zhu Yuan was nothing to the Wen Gu brothers and sisters.
Within two minutes, they adjusted the angle, and then adjusted the other four cannons in place. Just when Wen Gu was about to load the ammunition,
Company Commander Su stopped him, "Xiao Gu, are you ready now?
The Japanese artillerymen all have actual combat experience, and the artillery fire on our position just now was very accurate.
If you are not prepared to let the Japanese discover our position, the artillery battery we finally built will be completely destroyed! "
Xu Baichuan, who had finally come here after Da Kui, became unhappy when he heard what he said.
"Company Commander Su, I have only been with the Independence Brigade for two months, but I also know that these cannons were recovered by Wen Gu's brother and sister. What's the problem with their use?
And I have heard that they are very capable, so you can just let them fight, I will be responsible for any problems! "
Wen Xin rolled her eyes at Xu Baichuan, "You are just a useless mascot. Are you still responsible?"
"Captain Su, don't you trust the abilities of my brother and sister? Hurry up and reload!"
Su Qing was right when he thought about it. They had recovered these cannons. Even if the Japanese found out that they were gone, they would just look for them later. He immediately ordered:
"Everyone has it, please cooperate with Comrades Reminiscing about the Past and Warmth to reload!"
The artillery company immediately became busy, and two minutes later all the guns were loaded.
Wen Gu shouted loudly: "Three rapid fire rounds, fire!"
He was very confident in his calculations, and there was no test firing at all. Company Commander Su didn't say much at this moment, just follow suit.
The Japanese artillerymen were very sensitive to the sound of artillery shells. The Japanese who were loading heard the whistling sound in the distance, dropped the shells and ran away, shouting:
"Cannon fire, quickly dodge!"
"Bang!"
Six high-explosive bombs exploded directly on the Japanese's temporary artillery position, like a big firework in the dark night.
Qian Zhengyang, who was on the Eighth Route Army's position, slapped his thigh and said, "Well done, I will take credit for this kid Su Qing when I go back this time."
Asai, who was organizing the Japanese to prepare to charge after the bombardment, saw that his well-protected artillery position was taken away.
He said angrily: "Why are there our infantry artillery on Bagaya Road and Tubal Road? Can the weapons and equipment of the empire be bought and sold at will?"
The Japanese chief of staff also looked extremely ugly, but he still advised:
"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, now that our artillery position has been destroyed and the heavy firepower is limited, should we let the charging warriors come back first?
Otherwise, the artillery on Tubal Road will soon change its attack target, and we will not be able to hold it back! "
"Baga, I am very unwilling. I didn't expect that Tubal Road would be so difficult to deal with now. This is completely different from what my classmates who returned from the Yanhuang battlefield said!
Order the troops to retreat and camp behind the minefield on Tubal Road. Also send a message to Colonel Matsumoto for support! "
When it got completely dark, the Japanese finally withdrew. Qian Zhengyang looked at the tired soldiers and arranged to clean up the battlefield.
He went to Su Qing and praised: "Old Su, the artillery battle this time was very good. It only took three rounds of volleys to destroy the Japanese artillery position. We are making rapid progress."
Su Qing blushed and explained, "Battalion Commander, please don't try to flatter me. It's not like you don't know my level. How can you have this ability?"
It was all done by Wen Gu's brother and sister. Only they could accurately calculate the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position under such circumstances, and the Japanese artillery was wiped out in three volleys! "
Qian Zhengyang was startled, shook his head and said with a smile: "These two children have too many things to worry about. We adults have not set a good example.
Don't be discouraged. Since you know your own shortcomings, learn more from them. I heard that Commander Yang of the artillery regiment directly under the brigade headquarters is learning from Wen Gu! "
Su Qing smiled and said, "Batalion Commander, I definitely want to learn. Even if I can't learn all of their skills, I can learn half of them!"
When Hu Changshun received the telegram from the First Battalion, she was very worried. He had seen the power of Japanese gas bombs, but she had no way to make the First Battalion retreat.
Because the two rear lines of defense have not yet been built, once the first battalion retreats and the Japanese press up, the entire third regiment may collapse directly.
"Commander, telegram from the first battalion!"
Hu Changshun took the telegram and read it, "Okay, not to mention that the Japanese gas bombs did not work, but they actually blocked the Japanese artillery positions. Now I think the Japanese can only wait until tomorrow to attack!"
After reading the telegram, political commissar Ma Jun looked unhappy and said, "Old Hu, the Japanese troops from Xiangcheng will be coming tomorrow.
Although the Matsumoto Regiment is only a Regiment of the B Division and is not as strong as the Japanese Field Division, they have more people than us.
The weapons are also more powerful, tomorrow's battle will be a tough one! "
Of course Hu Changshun knew, he said nonchalantly, "Our weapons are not bad, and didn't the brigade commander ask his two big devils to help us?
You see what the telegram said, the Japs' artillery position was set up by the brothers and sisters together. Tomorrow's battle will be tough, and I can't let the Japs directly enter our base area. "
