Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 377 Sure enough, there are heavy artillery! (Second update!)
Wang Ping did not expect that the Imperial Association Army would revolt anyway at the last moment and stab the devil in the back.

I was surprised at first, and then reacted quickly: "With the help of the Imperial Association Army, it is not a problem to win the iron mine. Contact Yang Xiong, don't worry, pay attention to controlling the casualties!"

"Political commissar, you should immediately contact the Imperial Association Army anyway, and tell them that our Eighth Route Army welcomes their uprising. But for safety, except for the above-mentioned officers who are equipped with guns and ammunition, the others must temporarily turn in their weapons and wait until they return to our Eighth Route Army base. From now on, those who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army will be shot at the devils. Those who are not willing to join our Eighth Route Army will be given travel expenses and released unconditionally, and we will definitely not embarrass them!"

"In order to prevent accidents, you take a company with you!"

Less than half an hour later, the gunfire in the mine stopped.

Although Yang Xiong tried his best to control the casualties, there were too many accidents brought about by the street fighting.

The total loss of the two battalions still reached nearly 300 people, of which more than 100 people died alone.

In addition to the casualties of the previous battalion, even if Wang Ping had such a weapon as the flying thunder cannon in his hands, the Imperial Association Army would still be at the critical moment. Anyway, the two battalions of the guard regiment and one battalion of Zhang Hao still lost more than 700 people, the first battalion lost the most, almost half of the casualties!

"Chief of Staff, arrange a battalion to clean up the battlefield! Others stopped the absenteeism in the mine and prepared to transport the seized."

"This iron mine is the largest in a hundred miles, and there must be a lot of good things in it!"

"When the technicians in the arsenal dismantle a piece of equipment, we will transport one back. It is important to seize our own people to transport it in a cart!"

When the next day was about to dawn, the iron mine, which had been bustling all night, quieted down.

Satisfied, Wang Ping led the guard company to leave the mine for the last time. After less than half an hour of walking, the political commissar and the chief of staff rushed over together, looking excited.

"Head, this time we made a lot of money!"

"Equipment is not counted, the explosives just seized are more than 3000 catties. As for food, it took two thousand absenteeism and [-] carts to transport it all. If it is all brought back to the arsenal, it will be enough for us to eat for at least three months!"

"There are also a lot of weapons and ammunition, especially ammunition! More than 30% of the weapons equipped by the devils are good, and all of them were seized by us. There are more ammunition. In addition to the ones seized on the battlefield, we also found a small ammunition depot in the mine. There are more than [-] rounds of light bullets!"

Political commissar Luo Wenbo followed up and reported: "There is still money, all of which are gold and silver dollars, and boxes of them are piled up in the mine owner's room!"

"There are 5000 silver dollars alone, and there is also gold worth [-] silver dollars!"

"This money must have been earned by the devils from selling ore. Now that we have seized it, it can be used to attack them!"

"Yes, with this harvest, our arsenal can develop steadily for several months, and the production capacity can be expanded by at least double!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with the result, and the smile on his face became wider.

But soon, the serious expression replaced the smile on his face.

He frowned and said: "The devils have suffered such a huge loss, so they will definitely not let it go. Their reinforcements have not yet arrived at the iron mine, and when they arrive, they will definitely chase us madly. So we must hurry up and retreat, try our best to take the mountain road, hide Open the reconnaissance plane that the devil may send over!"

"Also, immediately send a telegram to the military region to report victory. Request the commander to mobilize the main forces, local forces, and guerrillas along the way to cover our retreat. If possible, we can organize [-] villagers to help us transfer supplies, and each of us can send The reward for twenty catties of grain!"

On the other side of the iron mine, on the road less than five kilometers away from the iron mine, the [-]-day puppet army was rushing to the iron mine.

The leader was a devil major, riding on a horse, constantly urging the troops to speed up the march.

"Captain, there is no gunfire at the iron mine, and the radio connection has been lost. Could it have been breached by the Tuba Road!" The deputy captain who was next to him reminded with a worried expression on his face.

"Impossible!" The major retorted without thinking.

"The defenders of the iron mine total more than 2000 people, and there are a large number of permanent firepower points. The entire iron mine is a military fortress. Even if the Tuba Road dispatches a division to attack the iron mine, it is impossible to take it!"

"But! The defender's request for help said that the Tuba Road attacking them was equipped with heavy artillery! If it is true, those permanent firepower points will not be effective at all!" The deputy captain continued with a worried expression.

The captain showed a mocking smile on his face, and then said with contempt: "Heavy artillery group, Mr. Ida, don't be joking. Even the well-equipped Central Army of China did not have heavy artillery group, let alone the poorly equipped rifles. There are less than one Tubalu. It must be that our troops stationed in the iron mines made a mistake."

"Order the cavalry squad to set off immediately, go to the iron mine to investigate the situation, and see what happened to the iron mine. Why are there no gunshots coming out? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army who attacked them retreated when they saw the dawn!"

The confident major led more than 2000 people to move forward. When the last kilometer was left before the iron mine, the cavalry team came back. Everyone's face was very heavy, and many cavalrymen turned pale.

"Could it be that something happened to the iron mine?" Shao Zuo immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Then he stared at the cavalry lieutenant captain who rushed over.

"Sir, the iron mine has been captured by the Tuba Road, the entire iron mine has been evacuated, and the Tuba Road has retreated without a trace. The more than 1000 imperial troops stationed in the iron mine are all broken! And!"

"And what?" The major stared at the lieutenant with an incredulous expression and asked back.

"We found traces of heavy artillery shell explosions on the battlefield."

"There are nearly a hundred craters with a depth of more than one meter. Ordinary shells simply don't have such power."

"Also, among the Jade Broken Warriors, many people were shocked to death by the shock wave, bleeding to death from seven orifices!"

"How is this possible? How could the poorly equipped Tuba Road be equipped with large-scale heavy artillery. I don't believe it. Take me to see it right away. I will only believe it when I see it with my own eyes!"

After following the cavalry squad for a few minutes, Major rushed to the iron mine.

The first thing that catches the eye is dozens of large and small bomb craters.

Relying on his experience, the major immediately judged that only a heavy artillery shell with a caliber of at least [-]mm could blow out such a large crater.

Jumped off the horse and walked quickly into the position.

Corpses lying limp behind the bunkers loomed in front of them, and many corpses were still in the posture of avoiding shelling.

Turning over the body, the soldier was indeed bleeding from the seven orifices, and he was obviously killed by a shell.

"Baga, it really is a heavy artillery, and Tuba Road really has a group of heavy artillery!"

"Cavalry squad, set off immediately, find Tubalu that has retreated, and follow them!'"

"Communication operator, start the machine immediately. I want to report the situation here to His Excellency the division commander! Tuba Road has heavy artillery, and it is a heavy artillery group. With the strength of the reinforcements alone, even if they catch up with them, they will not be able to destroy them. Please ask for combat guidance! "
