After Toshio Ogata dispersed his troops, the Japanese soldiers quickly discovered the place that had been bombed by bombers.
And around here, the only place where you can hide and hide your guns is a dense forest.
Toshio Ogata felt that the artillery and artillery of the Eighth Route Army were probably hidden in this dense forest.
But it is unrealistic to call the aviation force to bomb this place because the forest is a bit big.
At that moment, Toshio Ogata gathered the scattered Japanese soldiers again and prepared to search the woods.
The cautious Toshio Ogata did not rush into the woods rashly, but first sent a small team of soldiers to go in.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers dispersed and entered the forest from different positions.
After a burst of gunshots was heard in the woods, the Japanese soldiers who entered the woods seemed to have disappeared. No signal was sent for a long time.
Something must have happened. Now Toshio Ogata was sure that the Eighth Route Army's cannons were hidden in this forest.
Yo West!
Ogata Toshio's eyes showed excitement, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Pulling out the command knife with a swipe, Toshio Ogata said loudly: "Warriors, the Eighth Route Army's cannon is hidden in this forest."
"The time has come to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan."
"Kill the Eighth Route Army and grab the cannon!"
"Kill the Eighth Route Army and grab the cannon!" the Japs yelled one after another.
"Attack!" Toshio Ogata pointed his sword forward.
The Japs were on a hill between the bombing site and the woods, about 200 meters away from the woods.
The Japanese with grass rings above their heads rushed down the hill one after another, holding rifles and bowing their bodies, and walked cautiously towards the woods in a skirmish line.
But Toshio Ogata didn't move. He was the captain and according to the regulations, he could not participate in the charge. The dozens of artillerymen beside him didn't move either. Artillerymen were not good at charging.
The artillery squadron leader gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, I suggest that you fire arson bombs into the woods and burn everyone on the road to death."
Most of the Japanese artillery brigade suffered casualties under the bombardment, and the brigade captain was also killed. The artillery squadron captain was one of the lucky ones to survive.
They also brought an artillery squad and four Type 97 81mm mortars.
"idiot!"
"Are you stupid?"
"What if the Eighth Route Army blows up the cannon before they die?"
"What if you run away from the other side of the woods with arson bombs and cannons?"
As soon as the Japanese squadron leader finished speaking, Toshio Ogata scolded him.
"Hi!"
"Baga, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and set up the mortars to provide artillery support to the warriors."
"Hi!"
"Build an artillery position, hahaha, hahaha!"
The Japanese artillerymen were busy building mortar positions.
People standing in the darkness can see people and things in the light very clearly, but people standing in the light can see blurry things in the darkness.
Now the cavalry camp was in the darkness in the woods, and the Japs were in the light.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion could clearly see the Japanese approaching, but the Japanese could not see clearly what was going on in the forest.
Soon, the Japs were about 30 meters away from the edge of the forest, and could already vaguely see some grass and trees in the forest.
Some Japanese saw what looked like a gun barrel, so they pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the chamber, then raised the gun and shot there.
Before the Japanese could shoot, gunshots like fried beans suddenly rang out in the forest.
The Japanese in front fell down, and the Japanese in the back quickly lay on the ground and shot into the forest.
But I couldn't see clearly where the Eighth Route Army was in the forest, so I could only shoot at random.
The Japanese mortars on the hillside behind them began to fire, firing shells into the woods.
Three rockets with trailing flames flew out of the forest and hit the Japanese artillery position directly.
The Japs had never seen a rocket launcher before, so they were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and they all subconsciously lay down on the ground to avoid it.
The next moment, three rockets landed on the Japanese artillery position and exploded. The Japanese artillery position was swallowed up by violent shock waves and shrapnel in an instant.
The Japs who were close to the explosion stronghold did not react at that time. They only felt a loud bang in their ears and were instantly blown to pieces in the violent explosion.
The explosion was so violent and sudden that not even a scream could be heard.
The power of the Super Bazooka is similar to that of a 105-caliber howitzer, and more powerful than a 75mm mountain gun!
…
Toshio Ogata was far away from the mortar position, so he was lucky to survive.
Seeing that the mortar position was completely destroyed, Ogata Toshio was a little dumbfounded.
The current situation was really beyond Ogata Toshio's expectation.
He originally thought that after discovering the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army's artillery, even if there were guards on the Eighth Route Army, it would be easy to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and seize the cannons.
Even if there are some twists and turns, the result will not change.
As long as the warriors under his command get into position and launch an attack, they can easily eliminate this group of eight forces.
However, the cruel reality gave Ogata Junfu a blow. When this group of elite soldiers launched an attack, the Eighth Route Army not only did not collapse, but suppressed them and beat them.
The infantry was pinned down by fire and unable to move.
The artillery positions were directly destroyed.
What on earth was that thing that just flew over?
Could it be the Eighth Route Army's cannon?
How could it be so powerful?
Ogata Toshio's face looked uncertain for a while.
Heavy and light machine gun fire was suppressed.
In the end, Toshio Ogata discovered that his well-trained and experienced troops could not even organize a decent attack.
The Eighth Route Army relied on its terrain advantages and fierce firepower to firmly occupy the initiative.
What makes Toshio Ogata even more depressed is that he has no way to change the situation of the battle now.
There was a way. Although before the attack, Kurosawa Shoji had told him that he could send a telegram to call for aviation support, but he felt embarrassed that he could not defeat the enemy.
It's better to be embarrassed than to lose your life. At that moment, Toshio Ogata gritted his teeth and roared: "The communications team immediately called the brigade headquarters to request aviation combat guidance, and also reported our location to the brigade headquarters."
The Japanese telegraph operator quickly set up the telegraph machine and prepared to send a telegram.
However, the antenna had just been set up and the Japanese telegraph operator had just turned on the transmitter.
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the opposite side. Ogata Toshio looked over when he heard the sound, his pupils shrank and his expression changed drastically: "No, there are still Eighth Route Cavalry in the woods!"
I saw a huge Eighth Route Cavalry rushing out of the woods, raising their sabers and killing the Japanese lying on the ground.
"Retreat, Baga, retreat quickly!"
Ogata Toshio shouted at the top of his lungs.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Toshio Ogata and his men never dreamed that what was hidden in the woods was an Eighth Route Cavalry unit.
What's even more terrible is that the Japs are very close to the woods. Running back will definitely not be able to outrun the four-legged military horses. When the Japs realize this problem, the Eighth Route Cavalry rushes towards the Japs like a hurricane, although the sprint distance is relatively short, only about 200 meters. meters, but enough cavalry to catch up with the Japanese.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a new group of cavalry surged forward, the Yunlong knife in their hands reflecting the dazzling cold light.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers fled in panic like a flock of frightened sheep, but were soon overtaken by the cavalry battalion.
As the sword flashed, blood arrows shot out.
Under Sun Desheng's order, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to freely pursue and kill, so the battle here turned into a one-sided slaughterhouse.
…
On the main peak of Lion Rock.
The battle over Yanzigou also ended quickly.
Although the Japs left manpower at the top of Yanzigou Mountain, they were eliminated by the members of the Sword Squadron hiding in the dark.
The Lijian Squadron occupied the hilltop of Yanzigou and cut off the Japanese's retreat. The First and Third Battalions pressed up from behind and quickly eliminated all the Japanese.
There is no difficulty.
"Report to the regiment leader and political commissar that all the Japs have been eliminated!"
Monk Wei walked into the regiment headquarters covered in blood. It could be seen from his expression that he had a great time killing in the battle just now.
"I know." Li Yunlong nodded.
After the report, Monk Wei walked out of the headquarters, then operated a twin machine gun, staring at the sky with a pair of vigilant eyes.
Not long after, a horse neighed outside the headquarters, and the communications soldier from the cavalry regiment ran in and saluted with a bang.
"Report to the regimental commander and political commissar that the cavalry battalion has wiped out a Japanese squadron in the rear, and not a single enemy has slipped through the net!"
"Well done, thank you for your hard work!" Li Yunlong nodded.
Being praised by the regiment leader, the communication soldier blushed, then walked out, got on his horse and went down the mountain.
"Old Zhao, do the math quickly. How many Japanese and puppet soldiers have we killed?"
Looking back from the western sky, he still didn't see the Japanese plane. Li Yunlong had a disappointed expression on his face.
"200 plus 400 equals 600. In addition to killing about 800 Japanese and puppet troops head-on, we must kill at least 1,400 enemies."
"However, the 800 Japanese and puppet troops on the front have low combat effectiveness. They can be easily killed by us. There is no difficulty."
"Lao Li, why do I see your disappointed expression?"
"Aren't you satisfied with killing more than 1,400 enemies?"
Li Yunlong said: "I am a little disappointed that the Japanese planes did not continue to come. Last time, these planes were not the only ones chasing us in the Xinzhou Basin."
"I'm still thinking about bringing down a few more planes that are fighting against it, and buying more American 75mm caliber mountain cannons from Brother Chen Feng."
"To tell you the truth, when I saw this thing, it was like seeing a beautiful woman. My heart was itchy and scratching like a cat."
"I really want to create a mountain artillery regiment. It would be more exciting to cover the Japanese with artillery before every battle."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't it just the Mountain Artillery Regiment? We will definitely have a new regiment in the future. Maybe there will be a Mountain Artillery Brigade and even a Mountain Artillery Division."
"When the time comes, maybe you, Lao Li, will command a mountain artillery division and hundreds of mountain artillery units to fight."
After laughing, Li Yunlong said: "Well, Lao Zhao, your words sound encouraging."
"As long as we work hard to kill the Japanese and do some big business, it's no problem to make trouble with the mountain gunners."
"By the way." Zhao Gang asked, "Have you discussed business with Chen Feng this time in Yangquan?"
"Of course." Li Yunlong said, "How can I not discuss such a big deal with him?"
"If we can capture Yangquan this time, what kind of assistance can Brother Chen Feng give us?" Zhao Gang's expression changed.
"They say they want to replace rifles for our entire regiment." Li Yunlong said, "I don't know the specific model of rifles yet, but don't worry about it for now, we'll take Yangquan first."
