Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 294 Chapter 293, Just Do It
Li Yuexuan's order was quickly passed on by someone, and no one asked Xing Weiguo whether they should do so.

But in reality? Both Xing Weiguo and Zheng Changfeng, the two company commanders, tacitly accepted Li Yuexuan's command. Especially the command of the artillery, they would not participate at all.

The mortar position was not far from the front line, only about a hundred meters away, and the signalman ran over without even breathing hard. When the signalman passed the order, Wang Zixian immediately responded: "Go tell the captain and the others, we know, take action immediately!" After saying that, Wang Zixian looked at the two gunners.

Shi Peican's skills were obviously better, so after exchanging a glance with Di Huailiang, he took the initiative to run towards the ridge, then lay on the ridge, looking at the Japanese artillery position with a telescope.

"Distance... height..." After Shi Peican used a telescope to measure the location of the Japanese artillery position, he took out a small notebook and lay on the mountain to calculate the parameters. After about a few minutes, he returned to the artillery position and showed the calculated parameters to Di Huailiang. However, he lowered his head and adjusted the mortar to the coordinates he calculated.

They were busy here, and Li Yuexuan was not idle either.

Since they were already exposed, they didn't mind digging trenches on the ridge. Because they didn't know what kind of enemy they would face next, they could only do their best to take defensive measures. So, they dug and dug... Even if they dug a 20-centimeter-deep single-soldier prone shooting pit under their bodies and put two sandbags in front of their heads, they could still save their lives.
At this time, the Special Company 1, which had ambushed on the southern hill, came over under the leadership of Captain Ge. They had just fought a battle, which made the comrades of the Special Company 1 and the Supplementary Brigade very nervous. Fortunately, the signalman informed them of the battle situation, which made them feel a little relieved.

Therefore, the Special 1st Company decisively abandoned the useless positions in the south and rushed to the ridge in the north to help the comrades of the You 1st Company fight.

So, the scene they saw when they came over was that the mortar position was adjusting parameters and preparing shells; on the front line position, engineer pickaxes and engineer shovels were waving together, and dust and gravel were piling up to the north.

"Captain Xing...what's going on over there? What do you want us to do?" Captain Ge came over and questioned Xing Weiguo to discuss the next task.

"How did you get here? Don't worry, we are fine for now!" Xing Weiguo looked at Captain Ge, and then continued: "Wait and see, we plan to knock on the enemy's artillery position and see how the enemy reacts! Look, we just fought a battle and wiped out more than 100 puppet soldiers and more than 50 enemy soldiers, all of whom are at the foot of the mountain!"

"Then we can't just sit there... Comrades, help the comrades from the First Company repair the trenches!" Captain Ge glanced down the mountain and gave orders to the soldiers he brought with him.

At this time, the battlefield was still being cleaned up in the western valley. The hundreds of soldiers of the replenishment brigade were called by their respective company and platoon leaders to find the bodies of the Japanese soldiers one by one and clean them up...

"These weapons and ammunition should be equipped to our soldiers who have undergone shooting training first! Don't give too many bullets, 10 rounds per person will be enough! You veterans can give more, 30 rounds each!" Looking at the concentrated weapons and ammunition, the captain of the replenishment brigade discussed with the political commissar and made this decision.

Although fighting is not their main focus, this is not the time to talk about it. Let's arm ourselves first! As for the distribution of spoils? It's not too late to talk about it after the battle. Although some of the devils' weapons were damaged, they can still be picked up to form a company. So, very quickly, the equipment of the replenishment brigade went from more than 100 broken guns to a company of full Japanese equipment. With this company, all the officers and soldiers of the replenishment brigade felt that this trip was not in vain. Well, I heard that the first company in front just wiped out more than 100 enemies. If we can share some of them...

The officers and soldiers of the supplementary brigade had just begun to imagine when they were interrupted by the sound of two mortars being fired. When they looked up, they saw traces of shells passing through the sky above the top of the mountain. Not long after, a rumbling explosion sounded from the river valley in the north, still with an echo.

On the north mountain, Shi Peican once again lay on the ridge, with the telescope in his hand facing the position of the Japanese artillery position. Because they had already set up the mortars and it was more convenient to adjust, they launched artillery fire ahead of the Japanese. At this time, through the dust and smoke on the Japanese artillery position, Shi Peican determined the effect of the two shells just now.

"Attention, artillery team, coordinate adjustment..." Shi Peican turned around and shouted loudly at the artillery position, reporting the parameters that needed to be adjusted.

Then, Di Huailiang, who stayed at the position, adjusted the parameters of a gun himself while supervising the soldiers at the adjacent gun positions to adjust the parameters. Soon, the parameters were adjusted, Di Huailiang raised his head and raised his hand to Shi Peican: "Everyone, one shot, fire!"

Boom, boom... Two more shells were fired, drawing two parabolas in the air and heading straight for the Japanese mountain artillery position.

Boom, boom... The explosion sounded again, and the Japanese mountain artillery position was once again covered with flames, shock waves, and fragments. Because of the comparison of the previous two shells, the landing points of these two shells perfectly covered the positions of the two Japanese mountain artillery. To be precise, the landing point was still 10 meters away from the mountain artillery, but the explosion radius was enough to cover the two artillery positions.

It was perfect. They used only 4 shells to eliminate the enemy's mountain artillery position. Although it was a bit of a sneak attack and the speed of firing was not fast, it was completed within the prescribed range.

"Haha, well done! I thought they would have to wait for one or two rounds of artillery bombardment before they could complete the bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions! I didn't expect that they only used four shells." Xing Weiguo watched the entire bombing process of these four shells and was very satisfied with their performance. As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Li Yuexuan: "Comrade Peregrine, we don't have to worry about our mortars!"

"The captain is right!" Li Yuexuan also smiled faintly: "The performance of these two artillerymen is very good, and their skills are very strong! Well, when we have time, we will provide them with a telephone line so that their artillery observers can get in real-time contact with the positions behind them."

"Well, that's how we do it! It's just...what just now was a battle between mountain artillery and mortars, right? Why does it feel so dull?" Captain Ge interrupted.
