Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 228 Chapter 227, Taking Advantage, Run Away
While Suzuki was giving the new recruits a lecture, he didn't know that about 100 meters in front of them, under a tire track, there was a shell mine quietly waiting!

The structure of the shell mine is similar to that of the bullet mine, except that the bamboo tube has been replaced by a thicker iron or steel tube, and the bullet has been replaced by a Type 50 mountain cannon shell. Of course, the support at the bottom of the shell is no longer a thin wooden stick, but a wooden stick that can withstand at least kilograms of weight, and the wooden board on the top of the shell is also thicker and longer...

It is worth mentioning that because the shells are triggered by the fuse, the steel pipe containing the shells needs to be placed in another steel pipe, and the wooden stick supporting the bottom of the shell is actually supported on the bottom of the steel pipe. And the wooden board above is pressed on the steel pipe containing the shells, not on the warhead of the shells. Although the triggering fuse of the shells requires a certain weight, safety is the priority.

On the truck, Suzuki was still educating the recruits, and the truck followed the tire tracks to the location of the artillery mine.

Rumble...The wheels of the truck pressed on the wooden board on top of the steel pipe, exerting heavy pressure on the steel pipe below.

Crack... The two wooden sticks supporting the projectile broke because they could not bear the weight of the truck! The entire steel pipe fell down with the shell at a high speed. The primer at the bottom of the shell also accurately pressed on the steel nails under the steel pipe, successfully detonating the primer.

Boom... The primer exploded, which in turn detonated the propellant in the shell, pushing the warhead upward. As a result, the warhead of the shell hit the bottom of the truck that had just passed by, bringing with it the wooden board, and then triggered the fuse, which exploded with a bang.

Boom... The light from the explosion was very bright and the sound was very loud. The shock wave blew the car up and it turned 180 degrees in the air before landing. At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the car had already lost their lives due to the shock wave, and the truck's fuel tank was also ignited...

Crunch... The explosion in front caused all the trucks following behind to brake urgently and stop one by one on the road.

And at the moment the truck stopped, the Japanese soldiers on the truck jumped off the truck bed without receiving any orders, with weapons in their hands, aiming at both sides of the road and Yunling in front.

"The Japs' reaction speed is so fast!" On the mountain, Li Yunlong and his companions saw the appearance of the Japs and couldn't help but sigh that these Japs were indeed elite.

Gaga Gaga... Boom Boom Boom... Just at this moment, the sound of Type 92 heavy machine guns and Type 24 machine guns, as well as the sound of Czech-style and other weapons firing, could be heard from Yunling. Suddenly, countless bullets were fired from Yunling and flew towards the devils in the convoy.

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom... At this time, the grenade throwers of the new regiment under unified command also fired their first grenade one after another.

"Fight back... Fight back..." On the road, the Japanese officers spontaneously organized a counterattack and commanded the Japanese around them to fire at the Eighth Route Army in the most suitable position.

Snap... snap... the Japanese reacted very quickly, and for a moment they were evenly matched with the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment. Looking at the bullets whizzing past their heads, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment finally felt how elite the Sakata Regiment was.

These devils, whether in terms of reaction speed or firepower, are much stronger than the devils we encountered before! Of course, because everyone has cover, or the firepower is sideways, it is not clear how good the devils' shooting skills are for the time being. However, listening to the whistling sound so close, everyone knows that the devils' shooting skills are not weak!
At this time, the first wave of grenade launchers had completed their flight and finally landed in the enemy's convoy. Boom boom boom... The grenade launcher is indeed a small cannon, and the explosion is really powerful! After this period of training, Zhang Chong and his team have significantly improved their accuracy. The first wave of 18 grenade launchers actually accurately blew up 15 enemy trucks.

"Keep bombing, don't worry about the effect, you have to be quick, we have enough grenades!" At the place near the highway in Yunling, the grenade throwers were gathered together, and at Zhang Chong's loud shout, they loaded the ammunition at the fastest speed in their lives, adjusted the scales, and fired the second grenade.

It was also because of the bombing of the grenade launcher that the firepower of the Japanese counterattack was suppressed at once, allowing the soldiers to shoot more calmly. Looking at the Japanese on the road below the mountain, more and more of them were killed.

"Damn it, we actually encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army here! But that's good, it saves us time to look for the Eighth Route Army! Order, First Battalion, all of you press forward and hold back the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side! Second Battalion, assemble from where you are and immediately detour to the east, Third Battalion, detour to the west and surround the high ground in front! Concentrate the artillery and build artillery positions immediately!"

At the end of the Japanese convoy, Colonel Sakata Nobutsu put down his binoculars and arranged his deployment to his signalman. In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army in front should have the strength of a regiment, and the firepower of the main regiment! In this case, outflanking and annihilating them!
Just as Nobutsu Sakata gave the order, a louder whistling sound suddenly came from the air, and it was coming towards the back of the convoy.

"What? That's the whistling sound of Chinese mortar shells!" Experienced Japanese soldiers in the convoy judged what kind of shells were flying based on the sound. Well, the Chinese army itself didn't have many artillery pieces, so it wasn't difficult to judge. Anyway, it was either this or that.

Of course, the Japanese's judgment was correct. What was coming at this time was the first wave of bombing from the artillery platoon of the new regiment led by Zhuzi.

Zhuzi was ordered to bomb the enemy's convoy, and there was no limit on the supply of shells, which made him very happy. So he assigned each of the four mortars in the artillery platoon a section of the road as the bombing area. No matter where the truck was, they would start bombing from this point and then move north in order! Well, it was carpet bombing.

Chirp chirp... Boom boom boom... The shells of the mortar are naturally much larger than the grenades of the grenade launcher, and the explosion power is also greater! The bombing area with a radius of 20 meters can make up for the deviation of the landing point. Therefore, as the pillars started to move, shells lined up and exploded on the road, completely disrupting Sakata Nobutsu's arrangement.

How could it not be disrupted? The Japanese soldiers who were more than 2 kilometers away from Yunling did not engage in the battle at this time. After all, they were too far away. Just when they received the order and planned to form a team to detour, the shells came, and they came in a line! My goodness, one after another exploded on the road, and the distance between the explosion points was no more than 30 meters. This was leaving no way for people to survive!

As a result, the Japanese soldiers who were still forming teams scattered one after another, avoiding the mortar shells that were clearly carpet bombing...

In the blink of an eye, more than five minutes passed. Zhuzi had already completed a round of carpet bombing, and the Japanese soldiers at the front of the Japanese convoy were also wiped out in the battle.

"Stop fighting, let's retreat, we should quit while we are ahead!" At this time, Li Yunlong told Kong Jie and others about his plan.
