Rise from the sword

Chapter 263 Guerrilla and Retreat
"Long live His Majesty the Locust."

"Long live His Majesty the Locust."

On the fourth high ground, on the position of the Japanese artillery squadron, there was a burst of shouting.

The excited look seemed to have seen their Majesty the Locust patrolling.

When the artillery observers reported the results of the battle in the distance, some Japanese artillerymen also saw the huge smoke and dust that suddenly rose from Yangcun in the distance. .

Obviously, this is the point where the enemy's shells are piled up.

This made the ghost soldiers cheer naturally, celebrating such a huge victory.

For artillerymen, hitting the opponent's shell concentration point is more exciting than hitting the opponent's cannon. This not only destroys the enemy's combat effectiveness, but also makes the movement louder and the explosion is louder.

Explosions are the artillery's favorite.

"Continue the bombardment."

"To wipe out this group of stupid guerrillas completely."

The artillery squadron leader also smiled happily, and did not stop the soldiers from shouting, but ordered to continue the shelling.

However, when the ammunition man ran to the rear shell pile, ready to transport the shells, the loader opened the bolt and confirmed that there were no foreign objects in the barrel and barrel, suddenly...

boom boom boom

A round of dense explosions sounded around them, billowing up smoke.

The power of this explosion is no less powerful than their mountain cannons.Looking at the traces of the shells on the ground, the traces after the shells are destroyed are round and the ground is not deep. This is a mortar.

It is the enemy's 82 mortar.

The artillery squadron leader judged the situation at a glance, and even knew the enemy's weapons.

Compared with the mountain cannon, the impact point of the mortar is circular. This weapon is more powerful against infantry and the shrapnel spreads more evenly, but the disadvantage is that it is less destructive to solid bunkers.

"Bombardment."

"hidden!"

"Observe the hand and find out where the enemy is."

The artillery squadron leader reacted quickly and gave the correct order, but part of the devil artillery who had just been surprised had obviously not recovered, and their movements were a little slow for a while.

While explosions are the artillery's favorite, that doesn't include explosions around you!

No one would like an explosion around you!

In the haste and panic, the devil's shelling of Yangcun's position had to stop.

boom boom boom

The shells continued to fall, and the violent explosion smoke rose around the No. 100 highland. There was even a shell that was less than [-] meters away from the shell storage point in the rear, which scared the leader of the Devil Squadron into a cold sweat.

Due to the difficulty of transportation and the terrain, his shells were obviously not stacked in a safer place according to the regulations, but were only more than 300 meters away from the gun positions, and they were stacked in piles. If the enemy detonated these shells...

that own squadron...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering all over.

"I found the position of the enemy's artillery. On the mountainside two kilometers to the left, there are two mortars."

At this time, an artillery spotter spotted the enemy's artillery position.

Looking at the mountainside on the left, the artillery squadron leader also saw the enemy on the mountainside over there.

"Notify the Infantry Squadron down the mountain to destroy them."

However, in the position of the enemy artillery, his mountain artillery is obviously not suitable for destroying it. The mortar is highly mobile, and his mountain artillery position is too slow to respond, so it can only be wiped out by infantry.

But the enemy carries mortars, no matter how mobile they are, they can't outrun light infantry.

As the infantry set off from the foot of the mountain, facing the infantry rushing at high speed, the enemy mortars on the left mountainside were also forced to move. They picked up the mortars and quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Continue the bombardment."

Relieved, the leader of the Devils Artillery Squadron ordered to continue the shelling.

However, just as the first shell was fired, with the whistling sound, there were bursts of explosions around the artillery position, and this time, the shell flew from the right side.

The observer quickly spotted the enemy without ordering:
"On the right, two kilometers away, an unknown number of enemy artillery."

"idiot···"

"A bunch of trash."

Through the report of the observation hand, the leader of the devil squadron also found the enemy, and he was so angry that he cursed.

Where did this enemy artillery come from?

It even has two wings.

Wasn't the independent group surrounded by Captain Oshima Suga?How did the artillery get around his flanks?

With a lot of doubts, he ordered the infantry squadron to send people to drive away the enemy's artillery. Thanks to Oshima Kan's enough infantry, otherwise he really couldn't send troops to chase the enemy casually like this.

However, before firing a few shells, the third round of shelling came again, and this time, it was on the left.

This time, the devils were very unlucky. A shell happened to hit the side of a gun emplacement. Although it didn't damage the cannon, it still killed a few devils. Fortunately, there were no shells next to the emplacement.

"Baga Yalu..."

The shelling was forced to stop again, and the artillery squadron leader yelled in anger.

"The enemy is on the top of the mountain on the left rear side, about [-] kilometers away."

The observer quickly reports the enemy's position, and artillery shooting requires an open area, which is difficult to hide.

Following the position of the observation hand, the leader of the Devil Squadron discovered the enemy's position, which made him suddenly widen his eyes. The enemy who bombarded him was obviously the same group as before, but at this time their position was two full distances away from the original one. Kilometers away, and it's still on the top of the mountain.

Great mobility.

Even if this is their territory and the route is familiar, but in this rugged mountainous area, the transfer speed of the enemy artillery is so fast! ?

How did they do it?
"Order the infantry squadron to destroy them."

Helpless, he could only order the infantry squadron to go after the enemy.

In the face of the highly mobile mortar, his mountain gun is really helpless.

Although the accuracy of the mortar is very poor, his artillery position has big targets, and there are many dangerous targets. Once the opponent hits the shell, that shot can destroy his position.Especially during shelling, it is the most dangerous. If you are not careful, you will help the enemy destroy yourself.

Seeing that the enemy artillery was being chased by the infantry again and had to retreat, he was about to shell Yangcun again, but the enemy shells flew over from the right again, forcing him to stop the shelling again.

Raising the binoculars to look at the enemy's position, as expected, this time it was the second wave of enemy artillery, and the position was more than two kilometers away from the beginning. This group of artillery shells carried cannons, and their transfer speed was even faster than that of infantry.

'The whole squadron of infantry came out and surrounded them. '

This situation made the Devil Artillery Squadron Captain's eyes turn red instantly, and he dispatched all the infantry directly.

The Devil Artillery Squadron was harassed by these two artillery teams, and the shelling was intermittent. Although the situation improved a lot after all the infantry were dispatched, the big mule combined with the highly mobile mortars could still greatly reduce the enemy's artillery firepower.

Without the continuous suppression of the artillery, the situation on the front line suddenly changed. Zhang Dabiao organized several counter-charges, supplemented by intensive 60 mortar firepower, and once snatched the first position back. Oshima was so angry that Suga fanned Several squadrons have big ears.

The fighting continued into the night.

Night is falling, the moon is full tonight.

At this time, the two squadrons of the Japanese army guarding the artillery position finally drove the artillery of the first battalion out of the range of three kilometers, but the mountain artillery could not continue to shell at night, so they had to die down.

But Oshima Suga went crazy because of consecutive offensive failures. The majestic Japanese Imperial Division A Division was blocked by a mere guerrilla for a whole day with a small mountain bag. This is an unacceptable shame.

Therefore, he also launched several attacks at night, and the crazy devils once occupied the third line of defense in Yangcun.

At eleven o'clock at night, after personally leading the team to repel the last wave of the devil's attack, Zhang Dabiao gave the order to retreat.

"The wounded go to join the political commissar, and the rest of the troops follow me."

"Zhu Ziming, you guys have relatively strong physical strength, and you are responsible for breaking the back and preventing people from falling behind."

Opening the map and looking at the pre-booked location, Zhang Dabiao drove towards the pre-booked location with four heavy machine guns and nearly [-] soldiers from the first battalion.

Fighting against the devils all day, the first battalion suffered heavy casualties, over [-] soldiers were sacrificed, especially the several night attacks launched by the devils.

Finally, at the end of the battle, the first battalion lost more than half of its personnel. The first battalion, which originally had more than 600 soldiers, could now fight with less than [-] soldiers.

"Captain, the enemy has escaped from the cliff behind."

When the devils launched the fourth wave of night raids at midnight, they found that Yang Village had already been deserted.

"All squadrons rest in place, strengthen vigilance, and guard against enemy attacks."

Although he wanted to pursue him very much, the reality forced Oshima Suga to choose to be honest.

After a whole day's attack, the troops were exhausted, and the casualties were quite heavy. His brigade alone lost a whole squadron, and the Shouxian brigade suffered a lot more casualties than him.

This time, the firepower of the opponent's light artillery was unprecedented since the start of the war. According to his estimation, the opponent fired at least four thousand rounds of the 60 mortar shells in this day's battle.

About half of his troops' casualties were caused by such mortars.

Artillery, even mortars, is the soul and backbone of the infantry.

The weapons and ammunition reserves of this group of guerrillas are really sufficient.

Moreover, the opponent's commander was very good, and actually ambushed an artillery outside in advance to suppress his artillery squadron.

but·····
Wait for Shao Zuo Shenjing to destroy Li Yunlong's ammunition depot to see if he still has shells?

and.

Under the darkness of night, Oshima Suga and the intelligence officers with flashlights found a mark behind the cliff. This is a mark that cannot be noticed by the naked eye, and it is easy for ordinary people to ignore it...

"Tomorrow, we will continue our pursuit."

Oshima Kan spoke confidently.

Even if he lost one squadron, there are still five infantry squadrons, and the armored squadron is still on the road, which is the real strength of the large squadron.

······
In a valley.

Li Yunlong took the third battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the remaining half of the artillery company to hide here.

Under the moonlight, the wind is biting.

After a while, Shen Quan arrived with the second battalion.

"Regimental Commander, I have killed more than 100 devils who went to the ammunition depot, and a [-]-type infantry gun they brought was also destroyed."

Battalion Commander Shen spoke excitedly.

"Our own casualties were 50, of which [-] soldiers were sacrificed."

"good."

Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied tone.

More than 100 devils, with 50 casualties. On the mountain trails that are not suitable for ambushes, this record is very good, not to mention that the devils who attacked the ammunition depot must be the elite devils of the Class A division.

"Get ready, bring a heavy machine gun."

Li Yunlong looked back at the two battalion commanders behind him: "Let's go wait for the devils on the road, and go upright to fight an ambush to see if the armor of the little devils' armored vehicles is thicker, or our new heavy machine guns have powerful bullets."

　I've been a bit of a dead end recently, and the battle scene is still too difficult for me, so I won't do it like this in the future.

　　Finally two chapters of 7K today...
