I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 451 The Battle of Huangya Cave ([-])

On November [-]th, the devils appeared to be extremely calm on this day. They seemed to have given up their attack on Huangya Cave, and the entire Huangya Cave area was extremely quiet.

But outside the Huangyadong area.All units of the Eighth Route Army exchanged fire with the Devil's units, and the battles among the various units were very fierce. In a short period of time, several battles entered a fierce state.In battle, casualties are inevitable, and soldiers of all units suffered certain casualties.

It's just that these casualties are still within an acceptable range. The devils' raids against the Japanese bases have long made the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army very angry.Before, the headquarters ordered the troops not to fight the devils head-on, which made the soldiers have a lot of scruples.

But now, in order to reinforce Huangya Cave and stop the reinforcements of the devils, the soldiers of each unit no longer have to have any scruples. The only thing they have to do is to devote themselves to the battle and kill as many devils as possible.

The devil was stationed at the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi, and Yoshio Iwamatsu learned that many troops were fighting with the Eighth Route Army, which made him a little bit stressed.

Facing the active attack by the units of the Eighth Route Army, all units of the First Army have entered a state of combat readiness, and the whole of Shanxi has become chaotic due to the battle in Huangyadong.After taking over the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu knew that he needed to make certain achievements. Only in this way could he be favored by the North China Front Army Headquarters and Army Base Camp.

Yoshio Iwamatsu understood that when he took the initiative to dispatch troops to attack the Huangyadong area occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he could not lose this battle, otherwise he might be like the previous commander and could only return to the mainland to sit on the bench.

As Yoshio Iwamatsu expected, he got an order from the headquarters of the North China Front Army very quickly. Commander Neiji Okamura ordered him to take advantage of this opportunity to grasp the specific locations of the troops of the Eighth Route Army and draw out the troops of the First Army. Most of the troops carried out encirclement and sweep.

The Eighth Route Army, which has been active in the Japanese-occupied areas, has long been a confidant in the eyes of the Japanese army. The Japanese army does not want the Eighth Route Army to grow in the first step.

After mobilizing the troops of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the Huangyadong area. He knew that this small Huangyadong was the one that really decided the outcome of this battle!Only the troops attacking Huangyadong.If you successfully enter Huangyadong and destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in Huangyadong, then this battle can be considered a victory.

It's just that the troops attacking Huangyadong can really do this?Yoshio Yanmatsu was a little uncertain, and the troops attacking Huangyadong sent a telegram to report the specific situation of attacking Huangyadong.

The Eighth Route Army's defense in the Huangyadong area was too resolute, and the fortifications were extremely well constructed. Even if the offensive troops consumed a large amount of shells for shelling, they failed to make much progress in the Huangyadong offensive.There were hundreds of casualties in the first day of the attack alone. If there is still not much progress, then the troops attacking Huangya Cave are likely to be exhausted, and they will not be able to successfully take Huangya Cave.

In order to successfully capture Huangyadong, the attacking force sent a telegram to Yoshio Yansong, hoping to get more shell support, and at the same time hoped to dispatch aviation troops to ensure that the large number of defenses built by the Eighth Route Army in Huangyadong could be destroyed in the shortest possible time. fortifications.

Yoshio Iwamatsu naturally agreed to the attacking force's request. After a day, a large number of shells were sent to the attacking force.Now, Yoshio Iwamatsu hopes that the support he gives to the frontline troops will be effective. If there is still little progress, then don't blame him for being rude!

……

In Huangyadong, the command post of the spy regiment of the headquarters, Liu Gen and head Ou Tuan are studying the movements of the devils.

The devil didn't launch an attack or bombard the position all day, which made both Liu Gen and Captain Ou realize that something was wrong.Based on the situation when the devils attacked Huangya Cave on the first day, the devils inevitably wanted to take Huangya Cave in the shortest possible time and destroy the Eighth Route Army arsenal in Huangya Cave.

The offense failed on the first day.It's nothing to the devils. With the strength in their hands, even if such casualties occur every day, they should be able to persist for several days.

"Genzi, do you see something?" Leader Ou rubbed his temples and said with a headache.

In order to study the devil's mind, Head Ou has been thinking for a whole day, but he didn't get any good answer.In the devil's situation, if they really wanted to continue fighting, they would definitely be able to.As long as the devil is willing to pay enough casualties, it is still possible for the devil to attack the defensive position of the seventh company.

After all, the positions defended by the Seventh Company do not have all the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment. As long as the devils are willing to sacrifice their lives, they can still attack the positions.

For the secret service group, the gain or loss of the position is actually not that important. In the Huangyadong area, there are more than 300 fortifications. Even if the position of the seventh company is lost, it will not cause too much damage to the defense of Huangyadong. Influence.The soldiers can still rely on various fortifications to resist the devil's attack.

Head Ou doesn't believe that the devils can't see this, but they just didn't choose to attack, so that head Ou couldn't think of his intentions. Don't the devils worry about the support of the Eighth Route Army?
"I can't see anything either. The devils haven't attacked all day, so they should be planning some kind of conspiracy."

"Perhaps we don't have to worry too much. With our fortifications in Huangya Cave, no matter what tricks the devils use, they can't easily break into Huangya Cave. However, we still need to remind the soldiers to be prepared for anti-virus. Fighting is what devils are best at." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Like Captain Ou, Liu Gen didn't understand the devil's thoughts. With their strength, if they continued to attack, the soldiers of the secret service group would not have the slightest chance to breathe.

"Then let's not think about what's going on with the devils. I'll ask the soldiers to step up their guard against possible attacks from the devils at any time." Leader Ou had no intention of continuing to speculate.The information he has is too little, and it is not that simple to find out what the devil is thinking.

"Genzi, how are you preparing? The next step is up to you." Head Ou looked at Liu Gen and asked expectantly.

Liu Gen smiled confidently, and said, "Don't worry, Commander Ou. The artillerymen of our Secret Service Regiment and I have already made preparations. As long as the Devil artillery fires again, then it will be our chance to kill them."

"According to my judgment, most of the devil's artillery should be in the direction of Paomashan, mostly heavy artillery and mountain artillery, while the devil's mortars and infantry artillery are deployed in the combat troops."

"Our goal is the devil's heavy artillery and mountain cannons. As long as we kill them, the devil's mortars will not dare to be used easily. At that time, we can completely rely on the range advantage of the rocket launcher to continue to kill the devil's remaining artillery."

"..."

In order to let Head Ou understand his battle plan, Liu Gen explained it in great detail. During the period, Head Ou also asked a lot of questions, some of which supplemented Liu Gen's battle plan and became more perfect.

Soldiers with the Devil Artillery are inevitable. If the secret service team wants to reduce casualties in the defense, then it is necessary for Liu Gen to kill as many Devil Artillery as possible!Devils without artillery are like tigers without fangs. Soldiers rely on various fortifications for defense, and their safety will undoubtedly be greatly increased. Don't worry about devils' shells falling around them from time to time.

"Genzi, it seems that I am worrying too much, you have already made enough preparations, and the battle plan is quite complete."

"When the time comes, I'll be waiting for your good news!" Team Leader Ou said with satisfaction.

After listening to Liu Gen's battle plan, Head Ou felt relieved. He could see Liu Gen's intentions and knew that the battle plan was perfect enough.If the battle can go as smoothly as Liu Gen expected, then Liu Gen and others should not be in great danger of their lives.

"Well, the defense of Huangyadong will depend on the secret service team, and I need to take the soldiers out." Liu Gen said.

At 100 o'clock in the evening, Liu Gen left Huangya Cave with the artillery of the Secret Service Regiment. When they left, there were also soldiers with a company, more than [-] people.Except for a small number of fighters who are on alert, most of the fighters are carrying rocket launchers.The rocket launcher doesn't count. Any soldier can carry a rocket weighing [-] kilograms on his back.

The soldiers carried rockets on their backs and pushed three rocket launchers, which were the weapons used to attack the devil artillery.The soldiers' slack shells were enough for three rocket launchers to fire three rounds of salvo. In Liu Gen's battle plan, the rocket launchers would only fire three rounds of salvo.

After three rounds of salvo, no matter what the result is, Liu Gen and the others need to complete the retreat in the shortest possible time. Only in this way can the safety of Liu Gen and the others be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

A company soldier in charge of carrying rockets now needs to carry rockets, and when encountering the enemy, he needs to be responsible for the safety of Liu Gen and other artillery.

Before leaving Huangya Cave, Liu Gen told the soldiers about the combat mission this time. He tried to get the scared soldiers to withdraw, but none of them quit in the end. The soldiers were unwilling to miss such a good opportunity to kill devils!

I chose to leave Huangya Cave and venture to the outskirts of Huangya Cave because the range of the rocket launcher is limited, only five kilometers.The devil's heavy artillery and mountain artillery, in terms of range, are far beyond the rocket launcher.In order to ensure that the devil's heavy artillery and mountain artillery are within the range of the rocket launcher, it is very necessary to choose to move the rocket launcher to the periphery of Huangya Cave.

In order to avoid being discovered by the devils, Liu Gen and others did not make the slightest sound while walking, and at the same time, many soldiers were scouting ahead.

Since Liu Gen and the others went to a relatively remote place after leaving Huangya Cave, there were no traces of ghosts in this area, and it was considered one of the few places in Huangya Cave that could keep quiet.It's just that Liu Gen also knows that the silence in this area cannot be maintained for too long.

After finding a suitable place, Liu Gen took the soldiers into hiding, and made some disguises to prevent being discovered by the devils.Not far in front of Liu Gen and the others, there was a high ground. When the Devil Artillery launched its shelling, this high ground would become the best position to attack the Devil Artillery.

On November 1461th, at dawn, the devils who had been quiet for a day made a move. They concentrated all their artillery fire and launched an attack on Paoma Mountain and Tiaohuazhai [-] Highland.

Under the suppression of the devil's powerful artillery fire, the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment who defended at Paoma Mountain and the 1461 highland in Diaohuazhai could not raise their heads at all, and the devil took advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack.These two places are located on both sides of the east entrance of Huangya Cave.

The soldiers deployed by the secret service group in these two places are more to detect the movements of the devils, which means that there are not many soldiers stationed at Paoma Mountain and Taohuazhai 1461 Highland.

"The opportunity is here!" The moment the devil's cannon sounded, Liu Gen led the soldiers to the high ground not far away.

Driven by the soldiers, the three rocket launchers reached the height in the shortest time and were ready for the attack.

"It takes 30 seconds to check, and if there is no problem, we will immediately launch the first round of attack on the Devil Artillery!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

The artillerymen on the scene took action one after another. They quickly checked the three rocket launchers, which had already been loaded with rockets.Three rocket launchers, a total of 36 rockets, once the attack on the Devil Artillery is launched, it will definitely catch the Devil Artillery by surprise!
"no problem!"

"no problem!"

"..."

After 30 seconds passed, the artillerymen had no problems, Liu Gen nodded, and after confirming the angles of the three rocket launchers again, he gave the command to launch!

The moment the rocket launcher was launched, rockets flew out quickly, and in less than ten seconds, all 36 rockets flew out.But at this time, Liu Gen and the others didn't have time to observe whether the rockets could hit, they acted as fast as they could.

For Liu Gen and the others, the most difficult time was not when launching rockets, but when loading missiles.Reloading rockets is not a simple matter. It takes at least 1 minute to reload all three rockets.

For heavy artillery and mountain artillery, 1 minute is enough for them to fire about ten rounds of shells. In artillery battles, every second is extremely important, let alone 1 minute.

The loading time of 1 minute is already very fast for rocket launchers.Among the rocket launchers that Liu Gen knew, some rocket launchers took more than 10 minutes to reload. Of course, such rocket launchers would also be more powerful.

At this time, 36 rockets directly covered the Devil's artillery position. This artillery position is the position of the Devil's heavy artillery and mountain artillery. The Devil gathered these artillery for better command.

But now, [-] rockets fell, and after the explosion, many craters appeared on the Devils artillery position, among which the heavy artillery mountain artillery that was directly hit by the rockets was directly destroyed!
