Chapter 406 Chapter 405, the final strangulation
The sheep-herding tactics... As the mortars and grenade throwers of the 14th Regiment were launched together, coordinating with the mortars on Li Yuexuan's side, they formed an artillery blockade circle around the Japanese.

At first, the landing points of these artillery shells and grenade launchers were in the outermost areas and salients of the Japanese. Then, when the Japanese were driven to the center by the explosion, the landing points of the explosions were further reduced to the middle area, step by step compressing the Japanese's activity space.

At this time, it is time to test the shooting level of the mortar gunners! They need to hit the shells in time at the openings where the devils may or are breaking through, so that the devils dare not break through.

Therefore, at this time, Li Yuexuan's role was brought to the extreme! He only had two mortars to command, and the grenade launcher had been sent out to help complete the final strangulation, so he had to make sure that every shell fell where it should, and he had to keep at least 10 shells to complete the final strangulation.

Fortunately, he brought enough mortar shells this time, so he could use them freely! What? Wasted? That's not how you calculate it! The previous bombing had destroyed the mountain artillery brigade in the city, which was a profit in itself! Therefore, even if the remaining 50 shells only killed 50 devils, it was still a profit!
It's like selling vegetables at a stall. No matter if they raise the price or shortchange the weight, as long as they have broken even, they will make a profit when they sell again, and they can lower the price...

Well, although this analogy is not quite appropriate, it is roughly the meaning.

Time passed quickly. It was only 10 minutes from the launch of the sheep-circling tactics to now. Moreover, during these 10 minutes, the frequency of the artillery shells falling was not high, with only one round falling in about one minute.

But these 10 minutes were a torture for the Japanese! Yes, it was torture! Facing the explosion area that kept falling and tightening around them, the Japanese kept running like ants on a hot pot, trying to find a suitable breakthrough to escape.

However, no matter whether it was Li Yuexuan or the 14th Regiment on the mountain, they didn't leave any chance for the devils! As a result, the area where the devils were located was compressed little by little, and finally trapped in an area with a diameter of about 200 meters. This area basically compressed the devils to the extreme, and if it was tightened further, the devils would flee in all directions!

The fact that these devils had not collapsed at this time showed that their commanders had strong control capabilities! You know, the devil's overseas Chinese accounted for the vast majority of the people here.

Of course, this is not a problem that Li Yuexuan needs to consider, because now is the final moment and it is time to complete the final harvest!
"Shi Peican, listen to my instructions. According to the final coordinates, carry out carpet bombing at intervals of 40 meters. Fire 10 shells each, and bomb back and forth!" Li Yuexuan shouted loudly on Wangmu Ridge.

"I understand. Follow my command..." Shi Peican personally operated a mortar, and with the cooperation of Zhao Erwa, the two mortars launched the final harvest.

Boom, boom, boom... The mortar shells were fired at a rate of one round every three seconds, falling towards the area where the Japanese had their last assembly.

Boom, boom, boom, boom… The two shells were 50 meters apart, just covering the explosion radius between each other, occupying an area of ​​100 meters. Then, this area bombed from east to west, with an interval of 40 meters, taking away the lives of the devils in the middle.

This doesn't seem to be enough to strangle all the Japanese? What about the 14th Regiment's mortars? The 14th Regiment is a big regiment after all, and Captain Kong must have some savings, right? "Don't worry about it, I'm not going to fight anymore. Bomb from west to east until all our mortar shells are used up! As long as we kill all the Japanese down the mountain, I'll go to Minister Zhang to ask for some mortar shells even if I throw a tantrum! Damn it, this is too exciting! Bomb, bomb..." On the mountain, Captain Kong even shouted in his hometown dialect, which shows how happy he is.

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom... The Eighth Route Army was happy, but for the Japanese, especially those in the explosion zone, it was like hell!

"Ah ah... I'm just a farmer, why did I end up like this?" A Japanese overseas Chinese howled, took off his hat, threw away his Type 38 rifle, and knelt on the ground.

Boom... The shells didn't care how emotionally he collapsed, and exploded right beside him, turning him into pieces! If you don't want to farm on the island, then make fertile land here!

"I'm just a fishmonger! Is there anything wrong with selling fish? Is there anything wrong with that?" A Japanese soldier was blown to pieces, but he was not dead yet. He kept thinking about this question in his mind.

"Baga, are the Eighth Route Army trying to show weakness to the enemy, lure them in, and catch them in a trap? Why, why did the Eighth Route Army act so weak in the morning, but in the evening, they are so, so..." Lieutenant Kobayashi's voice disappeared as a shell exploded...

"Over there, there are Japanese soldiers over there, bomb them over there, don't let them go!" On the outskirts of the explosion area, about 300 meters to the east, Tianchuan led the special forces soldiers, operating four grenade launchers, bombing the Japanese soldiers in the bombing area to fill the gaps, so as to not let any Japanese soldier go.

1 minute, a full minute passed, and Wangmu Ridge was the first to complete the bombing of the last 20 mortar shells, leaving only 10 shells in hand.

After seeing that no shells were falling on Wangmu Ridge, Commander Kong also stopped the bombing of the 14th Regiment to synchronize tactics. At this time, the leader of his mortar platoon also told him a heartbreaking news - their regiment had only 8 mortar shells left and was about to run out.

Of course, at this time, whether it was Commander Kong, Li Yuexuan, or even Commander Chen who had arrived at the position of the 769st Battalion of the th Regiment, they were not concerned about how many mortar shells were left, but how many Japanese soldiers were left at the foot of the mountain? So how many Japanese soldiers were left? This required going up to check in person, such as the special operations team was doing this.

"Form an attack formation of three by three, check and finish off each one, and if you find any danger, shoot first, and never let any Japanese go. Don't let your own people put themselves in danger!" After saying this, Tianchuan put the Ma Sihuan sniper rifle behind his back, then took out a 20-shot box gun, held it in his hand, and took the lead towards the Japanese team.

"Damn it, they're coming again, they're coming to finish us off, this is great..." On the mountain, the soldiers of the 769th Regiment and the 14th Regiment had this thought in their minds almost at the same time.
