The three infantry battalions retreated quickly, and Lu Xinghua asked Zhou Kai, the commander of the first battalion, "What's going on? Why didn't you rush forward?"

Zhou Kai said: "The Japanese army had firepower points above the high ground. They shot at us condescendingly. We had no cover. If we charged hard, we would definitely suffer huge casualties. We had no choice but to retreat first."

Lu Xinghua picked up the binoculars and glanced over the high ground of the Japanese army, only to see a thin layer of smog shrouded in it, obviously a thick piece of gunpowder smoke, Lu Xinghua thought for a while and said: "Give me the communicator, I want to talk to Commander Xiao directly , "

Not long after, the communicator was ready. Lu Xinghua picked up the communicator and said, "Mr. Xiao, our troops were blocked by the Japanese army's firepower point on the high ground. We request firepower support."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Send me the location of the high ground immediately, and I will send artillery to support it right away,"

Lu Xinghua turned his head and said to the officer of the Artillery Battalion, "Immediately calculate the position above the Japanese high ground, and send the position information to the military headquarters."

The artillery officer immediately took people to make calculations, and then sent the location information to the military headquarters, which then sent the location to the artillery battalion directly under it. The artillery battalion directly under it estimated the location and immediately reported to Xiao Yingwu: "Our 122 mm cannon howitzers can hit the forts on the upper plateau,"

Xiao Yingwu immediately gave the order to fire the artillery, and told Lu Xinghua: "You take cover immediately, and don't be accidentally injured by the shells." Lu Xinghua's troops quickly took cover, and the artillery directly under the artillery battalion quickly covered the upper part of the Japanese highlands. However, the fortress below was hidden in the dead corner of the shells, and the shells could not hit it, so the infantry could only attack hard.

Lu Xinghua looked at the fortress below the Japanese army and said: "The fortress below is far stronger than the fort above, and it is very difficult to attack. We now have two weapons, Dragon Fist rockets and flamethrowers, to attack the Japanese fortress. The effective distance of the flamethrower is compared. Recently, if we directly use flamethrowers to attack Japanese fortresses, the flamethrowers will be attacked by Japanese troops in other fortresses, so we need to use Dragon Fist rockets to destroy some fortresses, then isolate some fortresses, and then use flame Thrower strikes,'

Zhou Kai, the battalion commander of the infantry battalion, replied: "We understand that we will use Dragon Fist rockets to attack." After the infantry battalion worked out the tactics, several Dragon Fist rocket launchers approached the Japanese fortress under the cover of night. , Immediately, rockets were fired, and one after another fire dragons rushed towards the Japanese fortress, and the flames of the explosion were exceptionally bright in the night sky.

The tail flame produced by the rocket after launching will also illuminate its own position, so after firing the rocket, the launcher retreated to the slope where the troops were hiding. A company commander asked Zhou Kai: "Battlefield commander, our rocket Can the bomb destroy the Japanese fortress?"

Zhou Kai shook his head lightly, and said, "I don't know if it can be destroyed."

The company commander asked: "Then what should we do, should we attack or not?"

Zhou Kai thought over and over again, and said: "Attack, first try to attack, and see if you can still shoot inside."

The company commander immediately let the two soldiers go out from behind the slope, and rushed towards the Japanese fortress, but they didn't go far, and dense gunshots came from the fortress that had just been hit by the Dragon Fist rocket. Immediately hid back to the slope, and said to Zhou Kai: "Battalion Commander, no, I can't rush up, the Japanese fortress has not been destroyed,"

Zhou Kai said: "It seems impossible to fight like this, we have to report to the superior," Zhou Kai then reported the blocked attack to Xiao Yingwu, and Xiao Yingwu said after listening to the report: "Shuai Lin, our attack has been hit Great obstacle, our Dragon Fist rockets failed to destroy the Japanese fortress, "

Lin Yuan frowned, and said, "I thought the Japanese army would lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of food and disease, but I didn't expect the Japanese army to be so stubborn. I really underestimated them."

Xiao Yingwu said: "Commander Lin, what should we do? If our heavy weapons can't destroy the Japanese fortress at a long distance, then we can only attack at close range, but the casualties will be very heavy."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "Order the troops to suspend the attack, let's think of other ways,"

Xiao Yingwu said: "But we have only launched the attack for more than an hour. If we stop the attack at this time, I am afraid it will have a bad impact on morale."

Lin Yuan said: "If our strong attack causes a large number of casualties, it will have a bad effect. Let the troops withdraw first, and find the commander of the troops, so that we can understand the situation."

Xiao Yingwu nodded, and immediately went to convey the order. Lu Xinghua came to the command room before it was too late, and said to Lin Yuan: "Commander Lin, the most important problem now is that our dragon fist can't hit the Japanese fortress. If we can put The Japanese army's fortress is destroyed, and the subsequent battles will be much easier. After all, the Japanese army is very tired now. If we fight with them in close combat, they must not be opponents."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You're right, but how do we destroy the Japanese fortress? The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and our large-caliber artillery can't go up."

Lu Xinghua said: "Shuai Lin, please get a large-caliber artillery up there no matter what, just one."

Lin Yuan asked: "As long as one is good, why do you say that?"

Lu Xinghua said: "Commander Lin, you have not seen the way the Japanese army fortresses are laid out. Their fortresses cover each other and form a group of fortresses. If we use infantry to storm a certain fortress, not only the firepower in this fortress will kill and injure the infantry. Other fortresses will also come to form crossfire, and every time they attack a fortress, they will be killed by the joint firepower of the other five fortresses of the Japanese army. This is the strength of the Japanese fortress group."

"If we have a large-caliber artillery and blow up certain fortresses of the Japanese army, it is equivalent to tearing some gaps in the fortresses of the Japanese army. Their crossfire will not be formed, and our infantry will be able to charge up. , flamethrower, dynamite pack, you can hit whatever you want,"

Lin Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "Well, I'll get you some large-caliber artillery pieces."

Lu Xinghua asked in surprise: "Really?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "There can still be fakes," Lin Yuan picked up the phone on the table while talking, and said, "Connect me to the 155mm plus howitzer regiment, and find the regiment leader."

Lin Yuan went on to say: "Is it the head of the regiment? Send me the three 155mm howitzers immediately. Yes, that's right. Split the howitzers into several large parts and send them over together."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he put down the phone, and said to Xiao Yingwu and Lu Xinghua, "155mm plus howitzer, it must be enough."

Lu Xinghua nodded repeatedly, and said, "It's enough, it's definitely enough,"

Xiao Yingwu frowned on the side and said: "The 155mm howitzer is a big guy, even if it is disassembled into parts, it is not light. How do we transport it to the front line and where to put it? Solved, the 155mm plus howitzer is still useless,"

Lin Yuan said: "I've already made up my mind, we will use the all-terrain vehicle to send up the various parts of the howitzer, as for the launch position..." Lin Yuan turned to look at Lu Xinghua at this point, and asked, "Where are you at the launch position?" Can you find it?"
