On the eastern front sniper position, going back ten minutes, the little Japanese who entered the ambush area had been sniped.
Han Gang's artillery unit opened fire first. After the first firing alerted the little Japanese, Okamoto Ryuichi decisively abandoned the vehicle and dispersed the team. This greatly reduced the effect of the ensuing round of three rapid fires.
Although 5 cars on the road were destroyed, not many Japs were killed or injured. Dozens of shells covered the preset highway section and only blew up dozens of Japs who could not dodge.
For a Japanese battalion, this casualty can still be tolerated.
The most important thing is that the little devils rescued their heavy firepower. The small steel cannon and the 92nd Infantry Artillery bombarded them in a counterattack. The 92nd Heavy Machine Gun also set up and began to strafe the mountain to suppress fire.
This made the infantry detachment preparing for a sneak attack have no choice but to hide in the fortifications for a while.
According to the daily training requirements of Dagushan, the infantry detachment must use mortars and grenades to clear the enemy's heavy firepower points before starting to shoot.
So at this moment, apart from the Japs' heavy machine guns, there were only grenades and mortars from both sides firing at each other.
"Ma Daqiang, you damn thing, aim your heavy machine gun at the Japs," Han Gang couldn't help shouting at the gunner beside him, Ma Daqiang, when he saw that the point of impact of the gun was several meters away from the Japs' firepower point.
"Captain Han, if you change the place after one shot, even a god can't do it," Ma Daqiang said with a sad face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the place where the shelling had just been fired exploded with a "boom", dust flew into the air, and the flying earth and rocks cut open wounds on the faces of the mortar team members who were lying on the ground.
"Ma Daqiang, you saw it!" Han Gang spat out the dirt that had gotten into his mouth, "If this bitch were to slow down a step, you would be dead. Now you have to hit hard and hide quickly! "
"Look at labor."
After Han Gang finished speaking, he stuck his head out and looked at a heavy machine gun fire point at the bottom of the mountain. Then he lay down on the top of the mountain and started to raise his fingers to observe. Although Ma Daqiang next to him still looked a little unconvinced, he still leaned over and started taking his own measurements.
"250 meters" Han Gang said with a number in his mouth.
"256 meters" Ma Daqiang reported.
"Change and retest!" Han Gang and Ma Daqiang exchanged each other's positions and started a new round of measurement.
"253 meters." Han Gang turned around. "What labor and management refer to is the length of the Japanese 38-meter cover next to it."
"254 meters" Ma Daqiang reported, this time they were close. "The length of the 92 heavy machine gun I am referring to."
"That's about it. The labor and management will protect the artillery for a while and fire the three damn artillery pieces at 255 meters." After Han Gang finished speaking, he returned to the newly installed mortar 1 meter away, adjusted with Zhu Yuan, and then untied his leggings. On the barrel, hold the barrel firmly with your hands.
"Three rapid fires!" Han Gang roared angrily, and the ammunition hand beside him took out the shells and put them in without hesitation, and the shells spurted out with a bang!
"Report the landing point!" Han Gang yelled, and Ma Daqiang, who was observing from the side, loudly replied, "2 meters ahead!"
"Come again!" Han Gang made slight adjustments with his hands and shouted to the ammunition hand.
"Boom" the cannonball flew into the distance again, "1.5 meters to the left!"
"Come again!" Han Gang's hand was blistered by the hot barrel, but now he couldn't care anymore and shouted to the ammunition hand after fine-tuning it again.
After another "boom", "Retreat!" Han Gang hugged the hot mortar and started running away without waiting for Ma Daqiang's reply!
The rest of the artillery crew had already run away. When Han Gang ran out more than ten meters, the whistling sound of artillery shells was heard in the air. Han Gang jumped forward, and there was a loud "boom" behind him. The shells landed a few meters away from the original firing place. Get out!
Most of the scattered shell fragments missed, and one of them splashed onto Han Gang's thigh. Han Gang felt a stinging pain, and couldn't help but touch it with his hand, and suddenly felt something wet.
Han Gang brought his hand to his eyes, and a bright red came into view.
"Hiss" Han Gang took a breath and was disappointed.
However, Han Gang didn't take this wound seriously and untied the leggings from the barrel to wrap around the wound on his thigh. "Ma Daqiang, Ma Daqiang!"
Han Gang shook his head, stood up, shouted, and looked around.
"Captain Han, I'm here!" Following Ma Daqiang's answer, other members of the mortar team also emerged from their gray faces.
"Damn it, it's okay. Did you get hit just now?" Han Gang asked.
"Hit! The little Jaap's 92-heavy machine gun blew up." Ma Daqiang replied excitedly.
"Okay, it's all settled. Let's do this next! Move fast, adjust fast, and run fast!" Han Gang finished speaking, "The labor and management still have to go to other groups to have a look, you just go back and forth like this. This little fucking kid is ready."
The first round of shelling destroyed the Jaap's car, and the assembled artillery crews dispersed and fought freely. Although the concentrated damage to the Jaap was weakened, the level of casualties was also greatly reduced in the face of the Jaap's counterattack.
The other groups adhere to the principle of one shot and run away, and basically will not be counterattacked by the little devils. After all, it takes time from measurement to adjustment, and one shot and then run away, even if there is a modern artillery radar, it may not be able to react, let alone this Most of the time it depends on personal experience.
The huge hilltop is where the artillery team goes back and forth to have fun.
Relatively speaking, the grenade group on the infantry detachment position was much more difficult.
Faced directly with the Japs, there were not enough positions to move to after the grenade team's attack. After the Japs observed the placement of the artillery positions and judged the range, the counterattack came very quickly and accurately. It did not kill much of the Japs but instead suffered damage. Several grenade groups were obtained.
Zhao Dalei, who was on the front line, saw that something was wrong and ordered the grenade team to temporarily stop their activities. Now, in addition to the sharpshooters of the infantry unit, who were sniping at the Japs, only the mortar team was left to fight with the Japs.
Facing the heavy machine gun firepower that was knocked out from time to time, Okamoto Ryuichi felt his head buzzing a little bit. However, he did not even dare to organize a large-scale charge before solving the mortar group of No. 8.
The power of the bombardment by more than a dozen mortars just now was still in his mind, and now the intensive charge was equivalent to giving the opponent heads.
The ambush area on Route 8 is too unfavorable for him. Now relying on the car wreckage as a bunker, coupled with skilled grenade launchers and artillery counterattacks, he can barely resist the opponent's attack.
Once he organizes a charge, the Japs will be exposed. Although it is not known how many people are ambushed on the hillside, from the number of exposed grenades and mortars, as well as the area of the hillside, Okamoto Ryuichi calculates that there is at least one The enemy of the main force!
And cooperating with the opponent's artillery fire is the main scale of the brigade level!
This is internal information of the Little Japanese Intelligence System, and Okamoto Ryuichi will not make any miscalculations.
Moreover, the opponent actually dispersed the artillery fire for mobile combat. For the artillery team with Okamoto Ryuichi's technical advantage, this was the most uncomfortable method.
The artillery force assembled 2 Type 92 infantry guns and 4 Type 94 90mm mortars. If the positions were bombarded, Okamoto Ryuichi believed that it would not take long to completely annihilate the opponent.
However, this opponent did not play according to common sense. In addition to focusing on a three-shot rapid-fire covering artillery attack at the beginning, there was no pattern at all in the east and west, and they were obviously scattered and fighting on their own.
This is a big deal. If you ignore them and concentrate on bombarding the opponent's position, these mortars may regroup soon, and they may kill the artillery squad in one shelling.
However, the artillery team did not dare to spread out now. They had to hide behind the car wreckage, otherwise they would become the target of the opponent like a heavy machine gun firepower point.
Even so, Okamoto Ryuichi found that artillery shells landed near the artillery team from time to time. Apparently, the opponent was also watching for something. However, their one-shot-and-leave tactics made their accuracy less accurate than expected, and many of them failed.
But the threat is always there. From the perspective of Ryuichi Okamoto, this battle is really messed up. The 8th Route Army encountered in front of him is completely different from those he has fought before. Its firepower, insidious tactics, and even ammunition The abundance was beyond Okamoto Ryuichi's expectation.
At this time, Okamoto Ryuichi was extremely looking forward to Feng Qingshi's Imperial Alliance Army arriving quickly to act as cannon fodder to explore the reality of Route 8.
