If sneak attacks are not possible, the only thing that can deal with artillery is artillery.
Gao Jianwu led a cavalry regiment, a commando team, and a mountain artillery battalion. The entire army was transformed into mules and horses. Every move of the little devil now fell into the eyes of the Ping An scouts.
When the forward appeared on the map coordinates in Gao Jianwu's mind, he began to estimate the approximate location of the artillery, and began to search for favorable artillery positions in his mind.
The little devil's search range was relatively large this time, basically reaching ten kilometers, and during the day, the field of vision was also very wide. It was almost impossible to avoid being discovered by the little devil at all.
But Gao Jianwu dispatched all cavalry this time, and the speed of the two-legged devils cannot be compared, so there will be a time difference.
It was in this short time lag that Gao Jianwu wanted to basically destroy the Japanese artillery regiment. With 12 75mm mountain guns, to be honest, this task is not that difficult.
Scanning the high-precision map, Gao Jianwu chose a hilltop about 5 kilometers away in a straight line from the location of the Little Devils Artillery Regiment. There were more than a dozen hills there across the road. There was basically no road to go directly through. If you had to take a detour, you would at least have to Walk more than ten kilometers away.
This gives the artillery position sufficient security.
In order to deal with the Little Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the Little Japanese's artillery bodyguard, Gao Jianwu allocated a main cavalry regiment from Daqingshan to the artillery battalion!
Gao Jianwu himself chose to observe and guide the artillery strikes at a high point 1.5 kilometers away from the road.
He has precise map coordinates and can command artillery operations under daylight vision, which also gives him an advantage.
After identifying the ambush target, Gao Jianwu and his party rushed to their respective positions. Naturally, the commando team escorted him. When they encountered sporadic scouts, the snipers in the commando team dealt with them directly from 500 meters away!
The last time he dealt with Damao, after the major aspects were settled, Gao Jianwu asked for ten Mosingana sniper rifles with 4x scopes. The sharpshooters of the commando team also got one, and each of the remaining regiments received two. Zhao Gang asked for one.
Needless to say, it is equivalent to the 38-year-old Gaihezhong. Officially speaking, the Mosingana sniper rifle with a double scope is too powerful. A sharpshooter can basically hit the mark at 500 meters. A sniper with extraordinary talents like Zhao Gang , can kill enemies at a distance of 800 meters. For Zhao Gang, the 600-meter position is a casual hit!
Therefore, the little Japanese patrol soldiers basically posed no threat to Gao Jianwu and his party and were killed.
By the time the little devils conducted an inventory and report on the missing persons, it was basically half an hour later. It would take even longer for them to send people to check again. Gao Jianwu could at least get an hour's window to do this.
Riding their horses to the foot of the target mountain, Gao Jianwu climbed to the top of the mountain with most of the commando team. Sure enough, the map did not lie. Here you can have a panoramic view of more than ten kilometers of nearby roads. Since the Japs search team came first, there are no forward teams yet. Get here.
Gao Jianwu was not in a hurry at all. After the artillery entered the preset position, Gao Jianwu first constructed a grid diagram of the artillery attack in his mind, forming a three-dimensional sand table. Facing the small grids divided by the road, it started as a 12-door Type 41 The mountain artillery was preset to bombard Zhuyuan. Although there were inevitably some errors, Gao Jianwu was able to quickly revise the target after observing the impact point after the bombardment.
At the speed he calculated now, it would take Zhuyuan less than thirty seconds to update the target position. This kind of reaction speed would definitely be beyond the reach of the Japs' artillery.
This time, Gao Jianwu was simply prepared to use the see-through hook to beat him unreasonably!
Time passed minute by second, and the Japs' vanguard finally arrived. Looking at the Japs marching like little ants on the road, Gao Jianwu's heart stopped.
At this time, even if he could kill at least a dozen or twenty little Japs with one shot, it was not worth it in Gao Jianwu's opinion.
The artillery regiment was his only target this time.
...
Su Shengdazuo of the 11th Regiment, Shanxian County, faced the missing outpost with a gloomy face. He had already lost 5 or 6 search scouts. The division commander was right. This section of the mountainous area of dozens of kilometers is indeed the most dangerous. location.
Su Sheng, the left winger of Shanxian County, sent out three teams to conduct a search in the direction of the missing soldiers. To this end, he gave the only set of walkie-talkies in the regiment to the search team, hoping to report the situation as soon as possible. .
The mountains here are endless, and there are no roads at all in many places. It is not known which hilltop the missing soldier is on, so everyone can only search aimlessly.
The artillery positions and cavalry regiments were hidden in the mountains and forests, and camouflage nets were pulled up. Unless you looked closer, it would be difficult to detect anything unusual from a few hundred meters away.
If you have a God's perspective and look down from an altitude of more than a thousand meters, you will find that the march of the 26th Division is quite sparse.
Yamaxian Su Sheng ordered the troops to march in a field march, widening the distance between marches. The regiment directly pulled out more than a thousand meters away. Behind him was the artillery regiment. At this moment, it was also in a state of combat readiness. The trucks towing the mountain artillery and field artillery were separated from each other. At a distance of about a hundred meters, the artillery followed the truck, ready to react at any time.
The entire artillery regiment's queue also stretched out more than a thousand meters.
Including the cavalry regiment, the follow-up baggage regiment, the engineer regiment, and the 12th regiment at the rear, the 26th Division formed a long snake formation of more than 10 kilometers!
Within 5 kilometers of the road, there are more than ten parallel roads on the left and right sides of the mountain. At this moment, thousands of troops are rushing towards the road in the mountains and forests, trying their best to move towards the road.
The little Japanese search teams that were discovered from time to time were quickly shot and killed by the ambushed forward team, so that later on, people marching on the little Japanese highway began to faintly hear intermittent gunshots.
"Order the entire air force to dispatch immediately! Move closer to my marching position and search!" Kenji Xiangcheng also heard gunshots coming from far away from time to time. Unable to restrain his impatience, he issued the latest order.
A long-lost feeling of danger gave him the idea of turning around and returning to Dai City.
However, the enemy has not yet presented the prototype at this moment, so Kenji Kojo cannot show his cowardly side in front of his subordinates.
A dignified reorganized division actually retreated without a fight. Rumor has it that he, Kenji Kojo, has basically no hope of being around in the military world.
The 26th Division team continued to move forward.
Gao Jianwu silently calculated the marching speed of the Japs' artillery regiment, and began to transmit revised bombardment parameters one by one. Soon, all 12 Type 41 mountain guns were adjusted in place. With a roar of cannon fire, 12 mountain cannons roared at the same time, sending hot shells towards the tractor truck of the Little Japanese Artillery Regiment!
A series of bang-bang-bang explosions almost all landed on the road. The distance error was extremely small, and shell fragments were flying everywhere. This caused heavy casualties to the little Japanese artillerymen who lay on the ground when they heard the shells. One third fell on the artillery crowd, and one third hit the truck. The effect of this first round of artillery bombing was amazing!
Gao Jianwu, who had precise map coordinates, truly had an unparalleled advantage in commanding artillery operations. As he directed the artillery to correct the angle, the second and third rounds of artillery strikes accurately hit the tractor truck of the artillery regiment.
All of a sudden, the movement of the artillery regiment was paralyzed, and then a covering artillery bombardment was launched against the little devils in the artillery regiment!
The little Japanese artillerymen who stayed on the road one by one were howled by the shells. A few clear-minded artillerymen ran out of the road and fled into the mountains and forests on both sides, temporarily escaping.
After half an hour of continuous shelling, Gao Jianwu almost blew up all the Japanese artillery on the road before he began to extend his artillery fire to bombard the Japanese infantry groups!
However, at this moment, Gao Jianwu suddenly heard the buzzing sound of the aircraft propeller, and his expression immediately changed.
Danger! Danger!
It seemed as if a warning voice sounded in Gao Jianwu's mind.
"Call the artillery positions and cavalry and take cover immediately! The Japanese fighter planes are coming and you must take cover immediately!" Gao Jianwu shouted loudly to the walkie-talkie operator next to him.
He faced the direction of the sound and carefully observed the sky with a telescope.
At this moment, Gao Jianwu's face showed unprecedented solemnity. The Japs' fighter planes arrived too quickly. It was not a reactive bombing after the artillery wing encountered an attack, but a pre-predictive attack by the Japs!
In other words, the Little Japanese fighter jets entered the battle unexpectedly and early.
At this time, most of the troops were still 2 or 3 kilometers away from the little Japanese.
Now such a large-scale attack cannot be concealed from the little devil's aerial reconnaissance. Now, the attacking troops are in danger!
Small black dots gradually appeared in the sky, and then the small black dots gradually grew larger, gradually allowing Gao Jianwu to see clearly that the three Nakajima Type-1 fighters rushing ahead were the successors of the Type 97 fighter jets. It is almost one of the most produced single-seat models of the Little Devil, second only to the Zero fighter.
】
Behind him are five Type 97 monoplane light fighters. This kind of single-seat fighter is considered a big cabbage among the Little Devils fighters. An aircraft manufacturing plant has even been established in the Northeast for production. It is also the Little Devils Army Aircraft that has the most configurations. A model of machine.
The empty weight is 1.1 tons, the maximum take-off weight is 1.7 tons, and its maximum flight speed is 460 kilometers per hour. The main weapons are a 7.7mm machine gun installed on each side of the wing, and four 25kg aerial bombs mounted on the wing.
In Gao Jianwu's era, this fighter was not as powerful as a drone.
But now, not to mention the four aerial bombs, the 7.7mm heavy machine guns on both sides of the wings are like devil's sickles to the infantry.
It is an extremely dangerous war machine.
These eight fighters pose a more dangerous threat to the battlefield than the artillery wing, because Gao Jianwu now has almost no means of counterattack.
Whether it is a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, there are basically no fighters that can compete with this kind of fighter at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
If the Japs were just bombing out of thin air, then Gao Jianwu would have nothing to do.
But this is a large-scale attack. Once the little devil throws those four bombs, he will definitely be unable to help but swoop down and attack with machine guns.
Gao Jianwu's mind quickly flashed terrain data.
