Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 639 Chapter 638, blow it up!

Li Yunlong made all the arrangements and waited for the devils to make a move, and then he countered it! Not long after that, he heard the sound of running, and then several people ran to the command post in a hurry.

"Captain..." Captain Qi, who was temporarily in charge of the important task, first saluted Li Yunlong, and then hurriedly leaned over the artillery scope to observe.

"Take note, target number one, distance 2850 meters, direction..." Telescopes can measure distance, and artillery telescopes can also do so. Captain Qi can be the captain of a heavy troop, and this skill comes naturally to him. Soon, he locked the positions of the 12 mountain artillery pieces that the Japanese were still deploying.

"Captain, there's no problem. The coordinates have been determined. We can go back and adjust them and then fire!" As Captain Qi spoke, his eyes were shining with a desire for battle.

"Xiao Qi..." Li Yunlong pointed to the south and said, "You think that you have already calculated the coordinates of these Japanese mountain artillery and can bomb them at any time, right?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Yes, Commander!" Captain Qi said impatiently, "I thought the Japs would place their mountain artillery 5 kilometers away, or find a hilltop to cover it, and then we would reverse the trajectory of the Japs' ballistics! As a result, the Japs set up positions in the valley so brazenly. Isn't this asking for a bomb?"

"I suspect that the Japanese thought we only had 82 mortars, so they placed the mountain artillery positions outside the mortars' range and then arranged them southward. But we have heavy mortars, which have a range far exceeding 82 mortars and are more powerful! Commander, don't hesitate, just give the order, and I will go back to personally supervise the adjustment of the parameters, and we will blow up the Japanese mountain artillery battalion in one fell swoop!"

Hearing the urgency in Captain Qi's tone, Li Yunlong knew that he couldn't wait any longer, but he didn't get anxious. Instead, he said, "I know you're anxious, but don't worry! Look at the frontline of the devils. There are only less than 100 devils and 200 puppet troops gathered here. The number is too small!"

"Look behind you, are there any Japanese soldiers constantly rushing forward? They are gathering towards the front line, arranging their attacking forces, and launching the attack after the bombardment! Don't you have 15 heavy mortars? The Japanese have 12 mountain cannons? So, you can arrange 12 heavy mortars to take care of the Japanese mountain cannons, and then use the remaining 3 to aim at the front line of the Japanese!"

"But if we blow it up too early, the Japanese won't dare to continue to send reinforcements forward, and we'll suffer! You have to wait until the Japanese gather at the front line, then the artillery will open fire and blow them up!"

"Commander, I understand what you mean. You just want to kill more Japanese soldiers, right? Just wait and see. I promise that not a single trace will be left!" Captain Qi promised.

"It's good that you understand! I, Old Li, have to explain it clearly to you educated and capable people. Really... Go back and prepare quickly. When your artillery is needed, fire at me immediately and blow them up as hard as you can!" Li Yunlong really couldn't help but swore again.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will blow the hell out of it if you give the order!" Captain Qi actually started swearing as well. Maybe he learned this from Li Yunlong?
"Haha, go quickly!" Li Yunlong laughed and waved his hand to let Captain Qi and the others leave the command post.

Time passed little by little, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle. In the first battalion, although Zhang Dabiao already knew that the heavy troops were coming to "steal business", he still arranged all the grenade throwers to climb the ridge south of Baicaoping, and arranged for them to bomb the devils hard.

On the artillery side, according to the existing coordinate system, Captain Qi personally adjusted it and assigned fixed targets to each heavy mortar, waiting for Li Yunlong's order.

In the direction of Guantao, Captain Nakano always felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know where this uneasy feeling came from. "Are you sure that the Eighth Route Army doesn't have too many artillery units?" Nakano grabbed a Japanese soldier from the intelligence system and asked.

"Mr. Nakano, you are too nervous! According to the information we received before, the Eighth Route Army did not deploy too many artillery here! You also saw the battle just now. The Eighth Route Army only used their few 82 mortars! And according to the latest information we received, the Eighth Route Army hastily mobilized about two regiments of troops here. The specific numbers are not detailed. After all, the Eighth Route Army itself is not clear."

"But what is certain is that the Eighth Route Army that fought with the troops from the Heshun direction in the direction of Songyan Town yesterday is still active in the Songyan Town area! The detective teams we found from the Chinese side saw with their own eyes that there were at least several hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers active in the town! So, you can just fight with confidence!" the intelligence officer vowed.

"Okay, I believe in the empire's intelligence capabilities. After all, you even have marked the mountain roads here on the map, which shows how powerful your intelligence capabilities are!" Nakano temporarily suppressed his doubts.

Nakano suppressed his anxiety and thought that he was probably too nervous. However, the arrangements had been almost completed, and he couldn't just change them casually, otherwise someone would attack his command ability. After all, there were many officers from aristocratic families who wanted to be promoted!
"Let Ogasawara, Mori and Inoue's squadron prepare for battle!" He gave the order, but in his heart he was thinking about how these two officers of noble birth could be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army's bullets.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the Japanese had already killed nearly 10 Japanese and 500 puppet troops at the front line. Looking at this situation, the next step would be the mountain artillery bombardment, the puppet troops would break through, and the Japanese would be finished! At this time, Li Yunlong in the command post finally made a decision.

"Pass my order..." Li Yunlong looked at the messengers who picked up the phone, and said, "Order, re-embark the position and bomb it immediately according to the coordinates given to them. Start with four shells. Order Zhang Dabiao to bomb the grenade launchers on the mountain together, bomb the enemy's front-line position!"

"Hello, the commander's order..." The messengers delivered the order to two places.

"Huh... We've finally made it!" Captain Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he suddenly became nervous. However, this did not stop him from giving the order: "All artillery groups, fire four rounds in a row, fire!"

Hearing the company commander's order, the loaders quickly let go, letting the 16-kilogram shell slide down the barrel into the chamber, then triggering the primer at the bottom, igniting the propellant tube and the powder bag...

Boom, boom, boom... Amid a series of explosions, 15 shells flew out of the barrel in no particular order, and then gradually separated in the air according to their respective coordinates, rushing towards the Japanese mountain artillery positions and frontline positions.

At the same time, on the southern ridge of Baicaoping, the grenade throwers who had been hiding from the Japanese launched their grenades from behind the ridge, causing the grenades to fly out from behind the ridge, across the cliff in front, and into the river valley below the mountain...

Boom boom boom...
