Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 495: Artillery Counterattack! (Part )
When the Japanese skirmish line approached the big rock, they were met with a burst of fire from two submachine guns, and four or five Japanese fell to the ground.

"You shot well, barely reaching the level of a shooting coach."

Gao Xuezhen laughed out loud: "Brother, come closer, it's time for us to get going."

"It's fucking enough!"

Xu Deren was shot in the abdomen. He moved closer to Gao Xuezhen, took out his radio and said, "Commander, Gao Xuezhen and I have not embarrassed you."

The two then detonated the glory bombs they were carrying.

The radio and precision maps we carry must not be captured by the Japanese.

Behind the rock where Gao Xuezhen and Xu Deren were, a dazzling flash of fire appeared, followed by an explosion like a muffled thunder.

In the New 8st Regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong looked sternly at the artillery staff officer in charge of liaison: "Order the artillery to fire at area ."

Before the war, the artillery surveying and mapping team of the New 1st Regiment surveyed and calculated the possible locations where the Japanese troops might gather, and established an accurate coordinate system based on Boss Lin's map.

At this time, all objects with prominent features in the area where the Japanese army was located, such as large boulders and pine trees on a certain mountain, were marked with accurate coordinates, forming a coordinate network that could cover the entire Heyuan County and Ping'an County.

In theory, with precise target coordinates, it is possible to calculate precise shooting parameters.

This precision shooting method is highly accurate during operation, and the coordinate error generally does not exceed 5 meters.

A large group of Japanese soldiers quickly rushed onto the big rock to check the situation, but at this moment, a sharp whistling sound was heard in the sky.

Area No. 8 was instantly engulfed in huge explosions and smoke. The Japanese soldiers who rushed up were immediately blown into pieces, and the other Japanese soldiers quickly fled upon seeing this.

It was already dark at this time, and the Japanese were still searching. The other two Hawkeye teams were also exposed and died after exchanging fire with the Japanese.

but.

Similarly, before they died, they called for artillery support from the regimental headquarters.

It caused considerable casualties to the Japanese.

The Japanese were afraid to sleep at night and sent out four regiments of infantry to search within a five-kilometer radius of the artillery position all night.

In the second half of the night, three small-scale Eighth Route Army suicide squads, wearing Japanese military uniforms, holding Type 38 rifles, and speaking fluent Japanese, joined the Japanese search team...

early morning.

At the Japanese headquarters, dawn was about to break, but Sadami Iida, Takaaki Kuwaki, and a group of Japanese staff officers had no desire to sleep.

The Japanese were so frightened that three groups of Eighth Route Army artillery observers easily got close to the artillery positions, guided the artillery fire from 10 kilometers away, and launched a precise counterattack against the Japanese heavy artillery positions.

Until now, the Japanese still don’t know where the Eighth Route Army artillery observer came from.

If this matter cannot be investigated thoroughly, and the Eighth Route Army artillery observer does it again a second time, the entire temporary field heavy artillery division will be wiped out.

"General," an intelligence officer hurried in. "The scouts have been searching repeatedly all night and have discovered a cave near the Eighth Route Army artillery observers. These Eighth Route Army artillery observers are hiding in the cave."

"Baga! What are scouts for? Let the scouts commit suicide by cutting open their stomachs to apologize!" Sangmu Chongming was furious.

It was this negligence of the scouts that directly led to the loss of four 4mm heavy howitzers and 240 32mm howitzers yesterday evening.

The intelligence officer explained, sweating profusely, "The cave the Eighth Route Army is hiding in isn't a natural one, but a man-made one. The entrance is camouflaged with large rocks, making it a seamless whole. Without repeated searches, it's difficult for scouts to find the cave where the Eighth Route Army artillery observer is hiding."

"Baga, are you questioning my orders?"

Sang Mu Chongming was furious. "If the scout commander doesn't apologize by disembowelment, then you should do it yourself."

"Hi." The intelligence staff officer lowered his head, turned around and walked out quickly.

Iida Sadatsugu, standing by, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "What if the Eighth Route Army still has infantry hidden in the cave, wearing Locust Army uniforms, and sneaked into the search team last night..."

Sang Mu Chongming's expression suddenly changed: "Order..."

However, before he could finish his words, there were sudden rumbling explosions from several directions. The two old Japanese soldiers hurriedly climbed up the city wall of Heyuan County and saw an orange-red fireball rising in the distance, followed by a muffled thunder-like explosion.

"General."

After about ten minutes, a staff officer hurried to the city wall:
“八路袭击了野战重炮第4联队第2大队阵地，9门150榴弹炮被炸毁，另外八路还袭击了近卫第3联队指挥部，包括小野大佐在内的9名联队部人员全体玉碎…”

"idiot!!"

After hearing this report, Iida Sadamiru could no longer hold back and drew out his command knife, starting to chop wildly.

He didn't expect that Li Yunlong was so cunning and his moves were completely beyond his defense.

Sangmu Chongming was also very uncomfortable.

After two days of fighting, almost half of the temporary field artillery was lost.

……

"The temporary field heavy artillery division suffered heavy damage?"

In Datong, at the North China Front Command, Sugiyama Gen suddenly stood up and looked at the deputy chief of staff, Muto Akira, who was reporting.

He didn't expect that even after forming a temporary field artillery division, the artillery unit would still suffer heavy losses?

"Hi!"

Muto Akira lowered his head and responded, "Yesterday evening, after Eighth Route Army artillery observers led a long-range heavy artillery bombardment, three small Eighth Route Army units, wearing Locust Army uniforms, infiltrated the search team that night. This morning, they attacked the Locust Army's artillery positions and regiment headquarters. Although these Eighth Route Army units have been eliminated, the Locust Army lost four Type 4 heavy howitzers, 41 150mm howitzers, and a regiment headquarters."

While speaking, Muto Akira paused and his tone sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Wearing a Locust Army uniform and sneaking into the search team?"

Sugiyama Moto frowned, looking a little uncomfortable.

He never expected that after the artillery observer guided the artillery counterattack, Li Yunlong also set up a suicide squad.

Coming out of the cave in the middle of the night, speaking the same language as the Locust Army, wearing the Locust Army's uniform, and joining the search team, it is indeed difficult to identify him.

Chief of Staff Yamashita Tomoyuki was also silent on the spot. His staff had predicted before the war that Li Yunlong would counterattack, but they did not expect that Li Yunlong's counterattack would be so unexpected.

It directly caused heavy losses to the temporary field heavy artillery division.

"Commander, this is Li Yunlong. He is not only generous, but also likes to do some sneaky things." Yamashita Tomoyuki said.

"Humph!"

Sugiyama snorted coldly, "Don't tell me the locust army is incapable of stealing or sneaking around?"

"Order all units to complete the screening and dispatch the paratroopers to capture the Eighth Route Army's Dagu Town Airport and Ping'an County!"

"Hey!" Yamashita and Muto looked startled and suddenly lowered their heads.
