Chapter 367: First Strike (Medium)

The current mortar camp is actually filled with a very cheerful atmosphere, and it has never been so heartily fired, and the thick black smoke rising from the devil makes people feel a rich sense of achievement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Even Zhuang Quan and Wei Baobao are also operating a mortar with great interest, Wei Baobao is responsible for loading shells, and he subconsciously covers his ears, as if he is putting two kicks during the New Year. Ye Yun was also smiling happily on the side, and kept joking with Wei Baobao.

Of course, Zhuang Quan's aim was not very accurate, although there was a soldier next to him who was pointing, but the cannonball that stopped was still a lot off. I just don't know.

But the fight here was very happy, and the consumption of shells was also very happy, and after a while, a platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army ran over and saluted: "Captain Zhuang!" The shells are almost finished, is it possible to stop,...... It's better to leave some shells behind! ā€

"Huh? Almost finished? So fast? How many shells are left? Zhuang Quan also asked in surprise, he didn't feel like he was enjoying it, but he still waved his hand and ordered: "Stop!" Stop! ā€

"Report! Thirty-two shells remaining! The platoon commander replied.

"Hmmm! I want to think about it...... In this case, you leave six cannons, and put the rest away and send them back! Well, just leave me twelve more shells! Zhuang Quan thought about it and said, he didn't feel very sorry for those shells, so it was a big deal to buy them again! He thought as if he had overlooked a problem. So he immediately asked Chen Dong: "Dongzi! The enemy's artillery battalion is almost finished, why didn't you report the location of the enemy's headquarters? ā€

"Big boss! I thought about it just now, but as soon as the shells over there exploded, there was smoke all around, and I couldn't see anything next to it! I saw the devils set up several tents just now! I just don't know which one is the enemy's command! Chen Dong said with some hesitation.

"Hmmm! Now that I'm almost done with the shells, you can see again, the location of those tents is reported to me, even if it is not accurate, it is best to hit Kato, and if you can't hit it, they will be sad and sad! Zhuang Quan gave another order.

"Yes! I'll take a closer look! ā€

Kato took those squad leaders and squadron leaders to ease up a little at this time, and now they finally don't fight/cannon, and it is estimated that the shells of the eighth road should also be finished, and it is already a big surprise for Kato to be able to hit so many shells at once! Look at the bombed scattered artillery battalions, it is really miserable, the hygienists and others are busy carrying a pair of stretchers out, most of the soldiers who were carried out are already dead, and the living ones are also missing arms and legs. Walking into the artillery camp again, it was full of vicissitudes, and those mountain artillery mortars were already in pieces, which still looked like killing weapons, just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. The truck was also blown up, and the artillery battalion of nearly 300 people, except for less than 100 people who ran out at the beginning, the rest were almost killed!

This is also too miserable, before the battle began, the other party took its own artillery battalion, this is a slap in the face! They have more equipment, weapons and ammunition than the other party, but who would have thought that the battle would be caught off guard before it even began!

"Yaga! Send Ikeda Jiadai and them to attack quickly, there must be an eight-way observation post near here, otherwise it would be impossible to hit so accurately! Let Ikeda kill these observation posts! "Kato is angry at this time! In fact, Taro Yamamoto's special forces have always been interspersed back and forth around, and it is impossible for there to be reconnaissance personnel from the other side within 300 meters. But the reality now makes Kato have doubts.

Kato was leading people back, and he was still furious, and when he was about to reach the headquarters, there was suddenly a scream of cannonballs flying, Kato raised his head and looked at the sky in disbelief, why are there still cannonballs on the eighth road?

In the panic and confusion of his subordinates, Kato's headquarters was blown up by a shell, followed by several shells, and three of the six tents that had just been set up were blown up in the blink of an eye.

"Yaga! Bastard! That's impossible! Give me ......" Kato was completely furious at this time, and just drew his command knife to give the order to attack, another shell fell behind him......

"Boom!"

A burst of gunpowder smoke dissipated, Kato got up in gray, if it wasn't for his guards just now, it is estimated that he would not be able to stand up for a while, even so, the back of Kato's head is bloody, and the clothes on his back are also scorched and black, tattered, Kato was a little delirious and wanted to pick up his command knife, but his head was dizzy and fell down again......

……

"Huh? The sound of the cannon has stopped for so long, why hasn't the devil moved? Isn't this like the way devils used to be? Why didn't you even get a shot? Could it be that all the devil's artillery camps have been blown up, this is impossible? Zhang Guangzu asked as he looked at each other with a telescope.

"It can't be that Kato was killed, right? The luck of the Zhuang Quan is too good! Xiao Zhenbei also said with some puzzlement, but seeing some chaotic devils and puppet soldiers in the telescope, Xiao Zhenbei was still very excited, this time the devil must have suffered a big loss!

"Do you think the devil will withdraw his troops after suffering a loss!" Zhang Guangzu asked.

"Impossible! If Kato's artillery battalion is really defeated this time, Kato will not be able to withdraw even if he wants to, and if he doesn't win this battle, he will not be able to go back and explain! Xiao Zhenbei said very firmly.

"Then it's likely to be a tough battle, huh?" Zhang Guangzu said with some worry, if Kato really fights hard, it will be really difficult to deal with, after all, there is still an advantage in numbers.

"Huh! I'm afraid he won't come! Don't forget, Zhuang Quan has a backhand, according to him, it is more powerful than mortars! I'm really looking forward to it now! I can't even imagine anything more powerful than so many shells! Xiao Zhenbei said expectantly.

"Huh! Then let's wait and see! However, we must pass on the order, be ready for battle, and must not have the idea of underestimating the enemy! Zhang Guangzu is also cautious and optimistic!

Here in Zhuang Quan, Ye Yun and Wei Baobao are still angry!

"It's all your fault! I haven't even adjusted the angle yet, and you just shoved the cannonball in! Wei Baobao jumped up and shouted.

"Who told you to be so slow! I'm holding a cannonball, and my hands are sore! Ye Yun also crossed his waist and argued with his bag.

It turned out that the last shell was fired by the two of them, but they didn't expect that it was this shell that seriously injured Kato.

"That's it! Stop arguing! Pack your things. Let's rush back to our positions, I reckon the enemy's frontal assault will begin! Zhuang Quan looked at these two people with some dissatisfaction, and then ordered, and the rest of the people immediately packed up their guys, picked them up and ran! I still want to rush back to participate in the positional battle!

……

Sure enough, as Xiao Zhenbei expected, Kato didn't want to retreat at all now, he suffered such a big loss, and he couldn't explain it when he went back, and now he still has an absolute advantage in his hands! Kato made a simple bandage in the tent, his head was wrapped with gauze, and his back was also wrapped with gauze, and he continued to command the battle while lying on the bed!

At this time, I finally heard the sound of my own artillery, it turned out that I had just cleaned up the mess and gathered the remaining mountain artillery mortars together, and I found four intact mortars and two mountain guns, but there were still a lot of shells, because the truck loaded with ammunition was not blown up.

Listening to the sparse sound of cannons, Kato's heart was really bleeding, and there were only a few of the more than a hundred cannons left! The jubilant cannon sound in the past now sounds a little sad, and it has lost its previous momentum!

Seeing the shells that exploded on his own position, Xiao Zhenbei was still a little dissatisfied, and he didn't blow up all the enemy's artillery? But then hearing the sparse sound of artillery, Xiao Zhenbei and Zhang Guangzu couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, although the enemy was firing artillery, but judging from the sound of artillery, the enemy had a few cannons left, indicating that Zhuang Quan's artillery attack was quite successful.

"Old Xiao! The devil's cannon sound seems to be a bit miserable, right? Zhang Guangzu made a rare joke.

"Hahahaha! It's like it's tickling us! Inform the companies and get ready for battle! The enemy is about to attack! Comrades, this time not only are there plenty of shells, but also bullets, give me a good fight" Xiao Zhenbei was in a good mood, pulled out his shell gun, got out of the command headquarters in the depths of the trench, and lay on the edge of the trench.

Kato was also upset when he heard the sound of the cannon at this time, and it was impossible to inflict any blow on the Eighth Route Army by relying on such a few runs, so Kato no longer waited at this time, but commanded his devils and puppet army to launch a full-scale attack! This time, Kato was really anxious, and pushed all the heavy weapons up, striving to give the opponent the heaviest blow as quickly as possible.

In the end, Kato sent Taro Yamamoto's special forces to detour along the edge of the battlefield to the position on the Qingfeng Ridge, hoping to rely on the special forces' strong individual combat ability and superiority in weapons and equipment to open a gap from the position of the Qingfeng Ridge. In terms of combat ability, Qingfeng Ling's combat capability is the weakest, after all, there is no experience in big wars, so it should be the best breakthrough!

The enemy's first attack began, although the devil's artillery battalion was heavily damaged just now, but the loss of men and horses was not large, so now from the trench, the devil and the puppet army began to advance densely here. And this time, Kato gave a death order, and the rear of the Imperial Association Army arranged a heavy machine gun supervision array, and if you want to retreat, you will die! Although these puppet soldiers are grinning, they don't dare to slack off anymore, so they can only rush forward with the devil!

"Hit!"

Sheng Jiuyi gave the order, and the members of Qingfeng Ridge were the first to fire, because although it formed a fan-shaped fortification with the first and second regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the straight-line distance was the closest to the position of Qingfeng Ridge. What's more, the members of Qingfeng Ridge are all 38-style rifles, with long range and good marksmanship! Now the enemy is still three hundred meters away and is starting to shoot......
