Zhou Kaitian's calculation made Kong Jie confused, and Li Yunlong's order made him even more confused.

"fight."

Li Yunlong said concisely, then raised his head and shouted: "Commanders of all battalions, come over for a meeting!"

What is important in the army is speed. In less than 30 seconds, the battalion commanders of the six battalions had squatted in front of Li Yunlong.

"Look at these coordinates yourself, which battalion is the closest?"

Li Yunlong pointed to the six numbers on the ground and asked.

The six battalion commanders stared at their heads.

"The first battalion is here."

"The third battalion is here."

"The Sixth Battalion is here."

. . . . . .

The commanders and fighters of the grassroots units of the Eighth Route Army were not well-educated, and some of them could not even write their own names.

But every cadre must master a skill, and that is to learn to recognize coordinates.

Whether it is marching or fighting, coordinates are very important things. Although it is just a number, it can let you know where you are and where you should go.

The six battalion commanders quickly found the coordinates of their respective troops.

"After a while, after the artillery company withdraws the cannon, the six battalions of you will start to make fake moves at the same time. Whether you are gathering or attacking, the bigger the move, the better. It will last for ten seconds, and then you will evacuate from the current coordinate position uniformly. Pay attention. Don’t withdraw to the coordinates of other battalions, just about 100 meters away.”

Li Yunlong ordered by pointing at the numbers on the ground.

This may sound complicated, but it is actually not difficult to understand. To sum it up, the six battalions first made a fake move for ten seconds, and then quickly evacuated from their current positions.

"Yes!"

The six battalion commanders left in a hurry and went to their respective units to make arrangements.

The little devil on the city wall saw the Eighth Route Army pushing the infantry artillery and mountain artillery and started to move. They thought they were about to attack again, and instantly became nervous.

Even those rifles with insufficient range were picked up by the little devil, making a posture that he would shoot at any time.

But when they found that these cannons were pushed to the rear, they were relieved.

"Go and inform Captain Xiaoye that the Eighth Route Army outside the city has withdrawn its artillery from its positions, and it is very likely that they will retreat."

The staff officer who stayed on the city wall to supervise ordered a little devil soldier.

Nearly twenty mountain cannons and infantry cannons were slowly pushed out of the position. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had been squatting on the ground all got up and started to move.

Really want to withdraw?

The staff officer's eyes began to light up, but he soon realized something was wrong.

The Eighth Route Army under the city had no intention of retreating, and several square teams even made offensive moves.

Don't they think that artillery siege is useless and they have to rely on manpower to charge?

Although he didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army could rush into the city with manpower alone, the staff officer gave the order decisively: "Fire the artillery and attack the Eighth Route Army's position!"

The six infantry guns on the ramparts were quickly reloaded, and the gunners began firing.

At the same time, the Sixth Battalion of the Independent Regiment began to move rapidly, leaving its original position in the blink of an eye.

"Bang, bang..."

There were six loud bangs in succession, and six shells fell into the position of the independent regiment accurately.

Dust from the explosion filled the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Damn it, Zhou Kaitian is quite accurate in his calculations."

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, Li Yunlong looked at the six bomb craters on the ground and said with a grin.

Kong Jie was dumbfounded.

He found that his cognition had been completely subverted.

As the commander of the grassroots troops, he naturally knew the coordinates.

According to the comparison of the bomb craters at the scene, he was surprised to find that the six shells fired by the little devil all landed on the positions calculated by Zhou Kaitian just now without exception.

Although there are some errors, they are almost negligible.

It is really possible to predict in advance where the little devil's shells will hit. How is this done?

The Eighth Route Army outside the city will not pose a threat to Boyang City. It is precisely because of such confidence that Fujiro Ono can return to the headquarters to sit and drink tea with peace of mind.

It only takes one day at most, and after the reinforcements sent by Ueno Cansuke arrive, they can kill those Eighth Route Army who disturb their cleanliness.

Ono Fujiro was thinking happily, when the little devil soldier who came suddenly interrupted his train of thought.

"What? Those Eighth Route Army are going to retreat?"

After listening to the report, Fujiro Ono put down his teacup, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

These Eighth Route Army reached the city before dawn, fired a few shots and were about to leave. It seems that their commanders are still very smart and did not continue to waste here.

It's a pity that I lost a chance to wipe out the Eighth Route Army.

"Command down..."

Ono Fujiro was about to order the troops to withdraw, but the loud noises that came one after another made him swallow the order again.

Even the deaf can hear the explosion of cannonballs.

"Didn't it mean that the Eighth Route Army was about to withdraw? Where did the cannons come from? Could it be that before they left, they still wanted to fire a few cannonballs to celebrate?"

Ono Fujiro stared at the little devil soldier who came to report to him, and asked angrily.

"This, the subordinates don't know..."

The little devil soldier lowered his head and didn't dare to vent his breath. He was just a messenger.

"What are you still doing? Go and see what's going on?"

Ono Fujiro kicked the little devil soldier, and the latter ran out scrambling.

Soon, new news came.

It was the staff officer who ordered the firing because he suspected that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack.

After the firing, the Eighth Route Army resumed its previous state, showing no signs of attacking or retreating.

"Idiot, wasted six of my shells."

Ono Fujiro cursed bitterly, not knowing whether he was cursing the Eighth Route Army or his staff officer.

At present, it seems that the Eighth Route Army does not want to retreat, so it can only continue to confront.

Chapter 760 Candidate for Artillery Company Commander

Originally, Fujiro Ono planned to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army troops outside the city after reinforcements arrived.

In this way, he can share the credit for annihilating the Eighth Route Army with the reinforcements sent by Ueno Cansuke.

Later, when he heard that the Eighth Route Army was about to withdraw, he was only slightly disappointed.

I feel that although I have no chance to get substantial rewards, I can still get the reputation of being a soldier who surrenders without fighting.

After all, not every troop of the little devil has the ability to make the Eighth Route Army retreat on its own initiative.

But now that the Eighth Route Army is not withdrawing, Fujiro Ono can only make his calculations back and wait to share the credit with the reinforcements.

As for leaving the city to fight, this kind of thing is not within his consideration for the time being.

If there were only a hundred or ten Eighth Route Army outside the city, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.

But the problem is that there are at least 3000 more than [-] Eighth Route Army outside the city.

Although the organizational system of the Eighth Route Army made it difficult for him to tell whether two regiments or a brigade were attacking the city, he never wanted to go out of the city to die.

Not long ago, his colleague Jingbian Mingye had half of the entire regiment killed by hundreds of Eighth Route Army. Even his boss Fukuyama Youdao was implicated and demoted to become the captain of the regiment.

Although this incident has not been publicized for the time being, it has already spread within the army.

In addition to being afraid of the mighty fighting power of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, Fujiro Ono also felt lucky to survive the catastrophe.

I heard that when it came to the ambush of the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army, he and Jingbian Mingye were the ones who initially decided to carry out the mission.

In the end, Jingbian Mingye was lucky enough to be selected only because the location of the Jingbian regiment was closer to the ambush site than Boyang.

If Fujiro Ono was the one who was selected at the beginning, I am afraid that Fukuyama Yumichi would be the captain of the Ono United team now.

It was precisely because of this fear that he did not want to go hand in hand with the Eighth Route Army.

I would rather stay in Boyang City and confront the Eighth Route Army when both troops and firepower are superior.

Because in his opinion, the solid walls of Boyang City are much more reliable than the five thousand soldiers under his command.

The knives of the Eighth Route Army can cut off the necks of soldiers, but they must not cut through the city walls.

Either wait until the Eighth Route Army is exhausted and retreat on its own, or wait for reinforcements to come and fight until both sides are injured, and then take action and reap the benefits.

This is Ono Fujiro's battle plan.

It is impossible to take the initiative to fight unilaterally.

The little devil fired six shells, causing no casualties.

For this result, Li Yunlong is very satisfied.

After waiting for a few minutes to make sure that the little devil had no intention of firing again, Li Yunlong ordered the troops to return to their positions.

The soldiers sat in the freshly blasted crater, feeling warm.

"Zhou Kaitian!"

Li Yunlong called again.

Zhou Kaitian bowed and ran over, squatting behind Li Yunlong.

"You kid, you did a good job, I will give you a credit."

Li Yunlong took out a cigarette for the first time, stuffed one into Zhou Kaitian's mouth, patted his shoulder and said.
