Jun Nishio opened the car door and jumped out. He lay on the ground and looked at the trajectory of the mortars in the sky, roaring:
"Immediately arrange for a counterattack and send a squadron to find the enemy who ambushed us!"
Although the field heavy artillery regiment is mainly heavy artillery, it still has its own mortar and grenade detachment, so as soon as Nishio Jun's order was issued,
The two troops had established temporary positions and were preparing to counterattack the Wen Gu brothers and sisters. At the same time, two infantry squads also surrounded the Wen Gu brothers and sisters from both wings.
The Japanese counterattack was very fast, and the first shell was fired in less than two minutes. "Boom", the Japanese shell fell 5 meters away from the Wen Gu brothers and sisters.
Wen Gu waved his hand and put away the mortars and shell boxes, "Little sister, change places!"
Wen Xin fired a shell, put away his things and ran away with Wen Gu. When the Japs team found their position, they only saw the ground blackened by the mortar tail flames.
Nothing else was found.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the losses have been calculated. 38 people died, 67 were injured, and more than 10 horses that pulled the cannons died. Two of the cannons may not be able to pull the cannons!"
The Japanese’s report made Nishio Jun furious, “Bagaya Road, why are these resistance elements here?
Are the reconnaissance troops of the third brigade all idiots? Can our safety still be guaranteed? "
The Japanese squad leader who went out to look for the old brother and sister also came back. He said to Nishio Jun:
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the enemy has escaped. Now there is only the ground blackened by the mortar tail flames, and nothing else!"
"Oh, the enemy moved so quickly, is this a group of elite troops?"
The Jaap squad leader shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, Captain, judging from the situation on the battlefield, there are only two people on the other side, and no other footprints have been found!"
"Nani? Two people? You told me that more than 40 mortar shells were fired in just two minutes. Such an attack was only carried out by two people?
Our empire's warriors suffered more than 100 casualties, and they were actually caused by two people. Is it our incompetence? "
How could the Japanese squad leader admit that he was a waste and immediately explain, "Your Excellency, co-captain, this may be a mistake in my judgment!"
"Yo Xi, there is at least one mortar squadron on the opposite side. Guard troops have been sent to both sides and in front of the troops to ensure our safety.
It seems that the relaxation during this time has made us all let down our guard! "
"Hi!"
The Japanese packed up their things and continued to set off.
Brother and sister Wen Gu walked around from the front to the other side. Wen Xin watched the Japanese troops divide their forces and said:
"Brother, the Japanese are very vigilant. They will start sending forward troops now!"
"What's the use of being strong? The mortar's range is shorter, so let's switch to a cannon that can hit farther!"
After Wen Gu finished speaking, he threw out two 92 infantry cannons, moved a box of shells over with warmth and joy, and after slightly adjusting the parameters, loaded and fired.
"boom."
The Japanese had just started, and the shelling came again, this time from the left to the right.
Two artillery shells fell, and the Japanese killed about twenty more people. The Wen Gu brothers and sisters were very cautious about where the artillery shells landed. They also wanted to seize these cannons and attack the third brigade.
Therefore, the impact points of the artillery shells are always in places where the Japanese are densely populated.
The Japanese were beaten to the ground again. Artillerymen were very sensitive to distance judgment. As a professional artilleryman, Nishio Shun instantly knew that this distance had exceeded the range of the mortar.
He could only yell at the troops to spread out to avoid being massacred by artillery shells due to too much concentration, while at the same time asking the security troops to rush over.
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders. The forward troops had already rushed towards the Wen Gu brothers and sisters when the bombardment started.
Unfortunately, the distance of two kilometers is not so easy to reach. This is still a mountainous area. The bombardment has ended before the Japanese security forces saw the shadow of Wen Gu.
Nishio Shun looked at the smoke-filled mountain road and felt like crying. What the hell, he was an artilleryman, a professional artilleryman. He used the empire's best 150 mm howitzer.
Now he was beaten by the 92nd Infantry Artillery and was helpless. Is there any justice?
The Japanese soldiers reported to Nishio Jun that when more than 200 people were killed and wounded in the shelling, Nishio Jun panicked.
In less than half an hour, his artillery regiment of more than 1,700 people had lost more than 300 people. If they were beaten a few more times by others, could they all be wiped out?
"Pass my order and bring the wounded and wounded warriors with you. Let's return to Luyuan!"
The Japanese messenger was confused. He had just come out two kilometers and then went back?
Seeing the ordering soldier in a daze, Nishio Jun said angrily: "Baga, why don't you go and convey the order?"
"Hi!"
What the Japanese soldiers didn't know was that in Nishio Shun's mind, the field heavy artillery regiment was a strategic force of the empire and was usually used when large corps were fighting.
This time it was also because the troops happened to be in western Shanxi, and the independent mixed third brigade had not made any progress for several days, so a heavy artillery regiment was arranged to come over to help.
Otherwise, how could the field heavy artillery regiment be dispatched for the mere encirclement and suppression of Tubal Road? Are you kidding me?
Therefore, in Nishio Shun's heart, whether the third independent mixed brigade can escape is not his concern, but the field heavy artillery regiment must return intact.
Wen Gu, with warmth, ran from the front of the Japanese army until he stopped in the middle.
Wen Xin asked in confusion, "Brother, how can we run back? What should we do if the Japanese move forward?"
"Move forward? How to move forward? They don't have enough horses to pull the artillery now, and many artillerymen died. If it were you, would you run?"
"Run!" Wen Xin said simply, whoever doesn't run is a fool! "Then are we going to block the Japs' way back to the city?"
"That's right, we can't run back with the Japanese. Even though Luyuan is a small county, it's still difficult to fight, especially when we don't have enough troops!"
The brother and sister ran to the back of the Japanese team. At this moment, Nishio Jun had changed from the rear team to the front team, preparing to return to the city.
The bombardment of Wen Gu brother and sister started again,
"boom."
Nishio Jun's expression was extremely ugly. This is the end of the world, right? Fight from the front, fight from the back. How many people are there on these Tuba Road?
"Huh?" Nishio Jun was suddenly stunned, "Is this really Tubal Road?" How could they have such elite artillery that could shoot so fast and accurately?
Aren't these people the main force of the national army in Jin Province? 】
Nishio Jun was startled by his own thoughts. If it was really the main force of the Kuomintang army, then his troops would be in danger.
"Quickly, fight back immediately, we must return to Luyuan County immediately!"
At this time, the remaining Japanese troops in Luyuan County had discovered that the Japanese who had left the city were being attacked, but they did not go out to rescue them.
Who knows how many enemies there are out there? What if someone robs the county seat when we go out? Losing the logistics base of the independent mixed third brigade would kill people.
