I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 702 Our last three field guns are gone too???
North of Shuiquan City.

On the Japanese field artillery positions, the artillerymen were enjoying the pleasure of unilaterally defeating the artillery of the Special Forces Regiment.

Some of them even muttered in their hearts: This is what it feels like to fight against the Eighth Route Army!
We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army all the way on the mountain road before. It’s totally unscientific!
unreasonable!
It is outrageous that the mighty Imperial Locust Army is forced to take a beating!

Artillery Regiment Commander Hoshino Hideaki also said to his Chief of Staff Nakamori Chihiro with a smile:

"It's been so long since we came out of Shimen, and my 35th Field Artillery Regiment has finally made some achievements."

Chihiro Nakamori thought: Using field artillery to blow up the enemy's infantry artillery, isn't this a great victory? This can also be considered an achievement???
Even if you really blew up all of the enemy's 20-plus infantry guns, it would not be able to offset the heavy loss of more than field guns you lost along the way, right?
How much does a field gun cost? How much does an infantry gun cost? Don’t you have any AC number?

But he nodded repeatedly and said:

"We can finally give some explanation to His Excellency the Division Commander.

As long as the next infantry regiment's attack goes smoothly and the locust army recaptures the spring, we should be able to replenish the field artillery we lost."

……

At the Japanese division headquarters, the division commander Harada Yuji was also very satisfied with the progress of the shelling.

He immediately sent someone to order the commander of the 220th Regiment, Kawase Shigemasa:

"Kawase-kun, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has been defeated, you can continue the attack!

Don't worry about the Tubalu's machine guns. Once they dare to open fire, Xingye-kun's field guns will help you solve the problem!"

Kawase Shigemasa received the order and immediately brandished his saber and shouted to his men:

"Warriors, the Tubalu's artillery is finished!
Let the division commander see your bravery!
Kill to—"

The Japanese soldiers listened to his orders without any doubt, and immediately rushed forward with their guns raised and howling.

"His Majesty the Locust is on board!"

"Onboard!"

……

On the Special Forces Regiment side, Guo Youqing from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion saw that the Japanese dared to stand up and charge again, and hurriedly shouted an order:

"Everyone get ready! The Japs are coming up to die again!"

A few minutes later, seeing the Japanese rushing into the range of their machine guns again, they immediately shouted:

"Fire! Hit hard!

Beat these sons of bitches to death!"

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

The dense sound of artillery fire rang out again.

The powerful shells cut off many Japanese soldiers, and Kawase Shigemasa was so angry that his eyes turned red. He could only yell:

"Get down, avoid the artillery! Crawl and charge!
Our artillery will soon be able to blow up the Tubalu's artillery!"

Hearing his roar, the Japanese soldiers felt a lot more at ease.

He immediately lay on the ground and continued to charge forward without slowing down at all.

……

Seeing that the special forces regiment's machine gun had opened fire again, Harada Yuji also looked towards the field artillery regiment.

Get ready to see the wonderful scene of them turning their guns around and shelling the machine guns of the Special Forces Regiment.

Enjoy your own moments of victory.

In fact, Hideaki Hoshino did the same thing. When he saw that the soldiers of the 220th Regiment had suffered heavy casualties from direct artillery fire, he immediately ordered:

"Quick, stop shelling the Eighth Route Army's infantry guns!

Change direction and fire towards the 2 o'clock direction!"

The artillerymen listened to the order and immediately followed it, adjusting the direction of the artillery in an orderly manner.

Without the huge sound of their firing, the only sounds left on the entire battlefield were the "bang bang bang" of machine guns and the screams of the wounded Japanese soldiers.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield became a little weird.

……

Kawase Shigemasa saw that Hoshino Hideaki's field artillery had stopped firing, and guessed that they were preparing to adjust the target of the artillery fire, and immediately shouted excitedly to his men:

"Warriors, hold on! Hold on!

The artillery regiment's artillery will soon take care of the Tubalu!"

However, he did not expect that, just as he finished speaking, his chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Ishikawa Michitaka, suddenly pointed to the southeast and exclaimed:

"Sir, what is that?"

At this time, Kawase Shigemasa heard a dense whistling sound in his ears and knew that something was wrong.

I looked up quickly and was stunned!

I saw a dense barrage of artillery shells flying out from the southeast direction of Gaojiazhai and hitting my own field artillery positions.

He couldn't help but scream:

"Baga! Why are there so many artillery pieces everywhere???
Are they sending several artillery regiments???"

He had a vague feeling in his heart, that is -

Are our three precious field guns going to be gone?
……

There is no doubt that those who opened fire now were the soldiers from the third company of the guard battalion of the special forces regiment led by Chu Kun.

They fired a total of 48 recoilless guns. The shells cut through the air with a soul-stirring whistle, directly shocking the Japanese on the entire battlefield.

The division commander, Harada Yuji, shouted in horror:

"Hurry up, order Hoshino-kun to turn in immediately!

First move out of the range of the Eighth Route Army's artillery, then use the range to launch a decisive counterattack!"

However, how can we do this in time?
The M18 recoilless rifle has a firing rate of up to 8 rounds per minute!
Chu Kun and others, of course, cannot achieve such an extreme firing rate, but firing four or five rounds per minute is no problem at all.

So, almost within one minute, Chu Kun and others fired nearly two hundred artillery shells at the three field guns of the Japanese devils!

"boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

……

After the intensive explosions, the artillery regiment commander Hideaki Hoshino saw that only two of his three artillery pieces were left.

As for the other one, it was blown down along with the people and the guns.

The shock waves and shrapnel from the explosion of nearly two hundred artillery shells are no joke.

However, he was somewhat relieved to see that he had only lost one cannon, and thought to himself: The artillery skills of the Eighth Route Army are indeed quite poor.

If I were to command so many artillery fire, I would surely be able to achieve success in just one round of bombardment.

Just as he was about to order his men to fight back resolutely and engage in an artillery battle with the enemy, he saw a new round of artillery shells falling from the sky.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Now, he finally understood——

Although this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers were not very good at artillery, they could not withstand the enemy's large number of artillery and shells!

I wanted to counterattack immediately, but I couldn't find any chance!

He immediately changed his mind and ordered loudly:

"Hurry up, pull the mules and horses over, drag the cannons, and turn in! Turn in! Quick!"

Following his order, some of his artillerymen quickly ran out to collect the two precious cannons.

Another group of people were sent to the nearby woods to bring over the mules and horses that were tied there, in preparation for pulling the cannons.

However, when the group of people just ran out of the woods, they found to their horror that more than a dozen shells fell in front of them.

This group of people, as well as the hundreds of mules and horses used to tow the artillery, were hit directly by the explosion.

This time, the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had no energy left to complete Hoshino Hideaki's mission.

The woods were in chaos as well. The mules and horses that were not killed by the explosion were struggling and roaring, jumping in panic.

And more unlucky people were injured by shrapnel and explosion shock waves. They were lying on the ground wailing loudly, their cries were extremely shrill.

This was the result of the gunners from the third company of the guard battalion of the special forces regiment using the maximum elevation angle to bomb the Japanese field artillery, causing the shells to pass over the Japanese artillery positions.

It can be said that God blesses our army and we have achieved our goal by accident!

……

On the Japanese artillery position, Hoshino Hideaki anxiously commanded his men, braving the heavy artillery fire and making preparations for the transfer.

As soon as the mules and horses arrive, they can run away.

However, no matter how much I waited, he never came.

Hoshino Hideaki was furious and immediately said to Chief of Staff Chihiro Nakamori:
"Nakamori-kun, hurry up, go check it out!

Why haven’t the mules and horses arrived yet?

Did these bastards just desert the battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Chihiro Nakamori immediately agreed and called on two soldiers to follow him towards the woods.

However, before they could take two steps, three or four shells fell and blew the three of them into the sky.

The blood splattered on Hoshino Hideaki's face, causing his legs to go limp and he sat down on the ground.

Tears flowed down my face uncontrollably:

"Nakamori-kun! My friend! You actually died with honor???"

Perhaps God saw that he was reluctant to leave his good partner and friend, so suddenly dozens of shells fell and sent him back to his hometown!

At this point, the Japanese artillerymen completely lost their courage. No one bothered to drag away the last two field guns, and no one dared to run away.

They all lay on the ground, motionless, with their hands on their heads, quietly waiting for the shelling to end.

The main point is to leave everything to fate!
About ten minutes later, the dense rain of shells finally ended.

The Japanese soldiers then raised their heads and looked around.

When they saw the area within a radius of thousands of meters, including their own positions, it was a miserable scene.

There were body parts scattered everywhere and the wounded soldiers were wailing miserably, with confusion in their eyes.

Everyone was thinking: Is this... is this still the invincible great locust army?

At this time, the Japanese battalion commander, Major Yoshida Takehiro, stood up, shouting loudly, and organized them to count the casualties and rescue the wounded.

A few minutes later, he ran to report to the division commander, Harada Yuji:

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, our 35th Field Artillery Regiment has lost all of its artillery and most of its artillerymen.

Even the commander and chief of staff of the wing died in battle."

Harada Yuji had a bad feeling when he saw the continuous artillery fire from the Special Forces Regiment. When he heard these words, he suddenly staggered and almost fainted.

He couldn't accept this fact at all, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:

"We're also missing our last three field guns???"

"Hi!"

“Bagya Road!
You idiots!

Incompetent trash!
Food wasting maggots!
Go to hell!!!

ah--"

With red eyes, Harada Yuji drew the imperial sword bestowed by Tianhuang from his waist and gave Yoshida Takehiro a quick blow.

He completely forgot that his outrageous behavior would be severely reprimanded by the headquarters and he might even be removed from his position as division commander!
