"Wait! Krupp, don't fire them all, just let 10 mortars fire."
Although he saw the astonishing damage caused by the shells, Liao Mingyu temporarily changed his attention.
Although taking this opportunity can indeed cause a lot of damage to the unsuspecting Japanese army, it is not the time to fully expose the firepower. If the Japanese army is prepared and strikes targeted, the Sichuan Army will be more passive in the future.
Although there were only 10 mortars firing, the little Japanese were caught off guard and were blown into chaos. They hurriedly shouted to avoid the shells.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!……"
The continuous mortar shells made the little devils cry for their fathers and mothers. One truck was very unlucky and was directly hit by a shell. The whole car burst into a huge fire! The fuel tank was ignited and exploded, and the 20 or so little devils still in the car were burned to ashes.
"Everyone spread out and retreat! Retreat backwards."
The Japanese captain hurriedly called on the Japanese soldiers to retreat. It was too dark to confirm the specific location of the shelling. Unable to figure out the situation, he decisively ordered the troops to retreat.
They originally thought that there were only a few hundred Chinese troops on the hilltop, but they never expected that the enemy had so many mortars. Not only did they get too close and received a heavy shelling, but the team also suffered heavy casualties, several times. A dump motorcycle and a transport truck were blown up.
"Elevation angle 45 degrees, maximum range shooting!"
Seeing the Japanese retreating, Krupp roared, and the artillerymen nearby hurriedly adjusted their angles.
Mortars screamed and blasted at the fleeing Japanese soldiers. From time to time, the retreating Japanese soldiers would be hit by a shell. Many unlucky little Japanese were bitten by the shells and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Finally, the Japanese troops withdrew from the firing range, and Krupp ordered to stop firing. In this short period of 10 minutes, at least one or two hundred Japanese were killed by this cannon.
Li Liansheng stared blankly at Krupp's instructions. This fat man's belly was not full of food. There was something in it.
Liao Mingyu, who was next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said to him earnestly: "Now you know, you should follow him and learn from him. This fat guy has no bad intentions. His main business is large-caliber field artillery. From now on, this mortar The gun must be left to you."
Li Liansheng nodded heavily. Only now did he know the leader's good intentions.
Liao Mingyu, a group of old brothers who had eaten pork stewed vermicelli together in the former cannon fodder group, did not want to give up. They all hoped that they could change their destiny and live their own lives in this different time and space.
The smoke slowly dissipated, and the Japanese army suffered numerous casualties in front of the formation. Countless bicycles were abandoned on the ground, and several transport vehicles carrying soldiers and equipment were still burning with blazing fire.
Seeing the little Japanese who was stunned by his own artillery blow, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army cheered loudly with excitement. It was a great start to the new year. The little Japanese must have felt uncomfortable now.
Tachibana Kikuma was sitting on the sidecar of a motorcycle. He was very high-spirited at the moment and felt that this was a battle without any suspense.
The commander of the regiment gave him the strength of two brigades, plus an artillery squadron. Is it still difficult to deal with the group of Chinese people who only know how to escape?
Captain Takeuchi asked him to fight steadily, saying that a Chinese army with unknown origins had taken the lives of many imperial warriors in Myanmar. Even the Seto brigade was wiped out, so remember not to be careless.
Tachibana Kiyo sneered at this. Are you kidding me? There are more than 2,000 people in my two brigades and I still need to be careful every step of the way?
According to the strategic plan of the commander, after capturing Nantianmen, stay here. Don't attack across the Nu River immediately. Nantianmen is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this is Chinese land. They will eventually fight back.
When the time comes, Nantianmen will be built into an indestructible fortress. If the Chinese want to attack, they will have to fill it with troops several times their own. As long as you wait for work, you can kill and injure the enemy unscrupulously. Devour their flesh and blood.
However, Tachibana Kiyo felt that this was simply a cowardly act. As the lieutenant-general and deputy captain of the Imperial Army, he was also a nobleman with a high status. With his arrogant personality, he looked down on Renzan Takeuchi, who was born in a humble family.
He made his own decision. After capturing Nantianmen, he immediately launched an attack on the Chinese army on the other side of the Nu River to eliminate all enemies in front of him. At that time, he really wanted to see what would happen to the thin face of Captain Takeuchi. Such a wonderful expression. I will never succumb to a commoner again.
Tachibana Kiyo thought wonderfully, but he still felt that it was not enough. He drew out the jade-handled samurai sword from his waist and shouted to the surroundings: "Hayaku! Speed up and move forward. I will see you by the Nu River tomorrow morning. Enjoy the drink...!"
boom! boom! boom! …
The explosion interrupted his shouting, and the front of the team instantly became a panic. Many soldiers raised their rifles vigilantly, not knowing what was happening in front.
"What's going on! Have Jiangguchi and the others already been at war with the Chinese?"
Tachibana Kiyo asked doubtfully, but then the situation of the troops at the front gave him the answer.
Explosions continued to sound, and the Japanese troops in front were in chaos. They retreated quickly to escape the scope of the shelling.
Tachibana Kiyo walked forward in anger. He wanted to know what the Eguchi brigade at the head was doing.
"Reporting to the deputy captain, our unit has just been attacked by enemy artillery fire. More than 100 imperial warriors were shattered..."
The disgraced Captain Eguchi stood at attention and lowered his head and said to Tachibana Kiyo.
"Pah! Pah!"
Two loud slaps hit Jiangguchi's face: "Baga! Are you a stupid pig? Why didn't you order an attack!?"
"The captain ordered to be careful... It's too dark now, and I can't judge the specific situation of the enemy, so..."
Before Eguchi finished speaking, another slap interrupted his explanation.
"Coward! I am your commander now and there is no need to follow Takeuchi's orders!"
"Hey!"
Tachibana Kiio's roaring saliva sprayed wildly on Eguchi's face, and the five finger marks on both cheeks were particularly obvious, but Eguchi did not dare to dodge at all, lowering his head and silently enduring all this.
"Now I order you to organize your troops immediately and launch an attack. I will provide you with artillery support. Go, the warriors of the empire are invincible!" Tachibana Kiyo said enthusiastically.
"Hey!"
Although Eguchi was helpless, he felt very angry when he remembered that he had just been beaten by Chinese cannons. He immediately gathered his troops and prepared to launch an attack.
On the Sichuan Army's position...
"More all mortars to the reverse slope, everyone, take cover!"
Liao Mingyu greeted everyone. He knew very well that the bombardment of the Japs was coming soon.
call out……
as expected! After a while, the Japanese army had stabilized its formation, and the artillery squadron in the rear began to pour artillery shells towards the Sichuan Army's position!
"Artillery attack! Everyone enter the individual bunker and hide it for me." After saying that, he took the lead and hid in the trench.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!..."
The flames of the explosion instantly flooded the Sichuan Army's position, and countless artillery shells exploded on the position!
