Chapter 63: Shelling the Devil
Rumble~
Countless layers of dirt shot out from the white and variegated ground, explosions everywhere, and some devils charged with bayonets screaming.
"Kill, give!"
A devil, Cao Chang, brandished a command knife and stopped shouting and charged, and the devil behind showed a fierce expression and rushed quickly towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.
"Brothers, call me!"
The three regiments and one battalion were in devastation at the moment, sandbag fortifications were blown up everywhere, and there were screaming wounded in the trenches.
The two sides went back and forth, bullets exchanged bullets, and explosions kept coming.
The accuracy of the devil's grenadier is extremely high, and the error is generally less than four meters, which caused great casualties to the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army still used strong force to repel the devil.
Li Huan originally wanted to take a gun to shoot a few devils, but considering that he is now a gunner, and he is the only one here who can shoot cannons, he can't leave at all now.
Xu Dazhuang also kept looking at him, just like a door god.
At this moment, the third regiment commander suddenly ran over and shouted loudly:
"Platoon Commander Xu, immediately take you personally to prepare for the shelling, our casualties are too great!"
"Okay, let's get ready right away!"
Xu Dazhuang quickly sent towards Li Huan and the others, and when Li Huan saw it, he kicked Changfeng's ass and shouted:
"Come to life!"
"Huh?" Changfeng hasn't reacted yet, and the muscles in this kid's arm are still sore!
Soon Xu Dazhuang walked towards the side of the position with the cannon on his shoulder, Li Huan chose the artillery position that had been repaired before, and then asked people to put the artillery away, and then picked up the gun and looked straight ahead from the quadruple mirror, and then gestured with his thumb, and then said to Changfeng and the others:
"Twenty degrees higher elevation angle ......"
"Uh......"
Changfeng and the others didn't understand what Li Huan's words meant at all, which made Li Huan a little blind, so he had to adjust the angles of the four mortars one by one.
"Okay, take the cannonball and follow me, remember to lower your head and cover your ears as soon as the cannonball slides down, understand?"
Although several soldiers had heard Li Huan say something on the road, it was the first time they practiced it.
"Put!"
Chirp~
Shells shot out one after another, shooting towards the devils, and there was an explosion in the middle of a group of charging devils.
"Second child, you kid will fire the cannon, don't move it!"
Chen Ming saw a cannonball crooked, and couldn't help but yell at a soldier, and then continued to adjust the angle.
In this way, dozens of artillery shots were fired in a row, causing huge casualties to the devils, and then they all retreated.
When the third regiment commander saw this scene, he had a relieved smile on his face, and finally repelled the devil's attack once.
In this way, after Li Huan helped the three regiments repel the devils three times in a row, the little devils finally reacted and directly led people to attack their artillery positions, Li Huan was almost hit by a shot by the devils who rushed up, but fortunately, the commander of the third regiment led people to drive these devils away in time.
However, at this time, the third regiment commander also found a problem, that is, Li Huan and the others brought not enough shells, and now there are less than ten rounds left, this cannonball is not good, and it cannot cause effective damage to the devil.
"Platoon Commander Xu, you take your people back first, and tell your regiment commander for me, thank you to our three regiments this time!"
"Good ......"
"No, we still have a few shells, why run?"
Xu Dazhuang just wanted to accept the suggestion of the third head of the regiment and bring Li Huan and the others back, but before he finished speaking, Li Huan rushed out and interrupted him and shouted.
"Comrade Li Huan, thank you very much for your help, but this time your shells are not enough, and it is very dangerous here, so I want you to go back as soon as possible, so that there will be no danger!"
Of course, the commander of the third regiment had good intentions, and the first regiment sent all the treasure bumps like artillery to help them, and they must not be ungrateful, and they must send the first regiment of people back safely.
"What's this, is there any place during the war years that wasn't dangerous?"
Li Huan replied very openly, and a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the third regiment leader, this kid is not very old, but he looks very thorough.
"We still have ten shells, give us another chance, I will definitely help your regiment make a greater contribution!"
Although the third head of the regiment was very tempted, he still shook his head, because the current situation was too dangerous, it was better to send Li Huan and the others back first.
However, at this time, the people below suddenly came to report that the devil had sent a team of people to block their retreat, and now the three regiment leaders couldn't let Li Huan and the others leave.
"You heard it just now, and now you can't leave if you want to, let's go to the back and stay for me, and keep the shells for me, maybe I'll use them later!"
"Yes!" When Xu Dazhuang heard this, he immediately took Li Huan and the others to a safe place.
The battle lasted until the morning of the next day, the devils still did not take the Eighth Route Army, Hongkou Town was still in our hands, but unfortunately the situation of the three regiments was precarious, more than half of the troops were killed and wounded, and if they continued to fight like this, they were likely to be wiped out.
The combat effectiveness of more than 400 devil soldiers is not covered, and it is not difficult to defeat the three regiments of 1,500 people.
Just when the third regiment commander was in a hurry, Li Huan kept digging tunnels with Changfeng.
"Li Huan, isn't it good for us to attack like this?"
Changfeng was carrying a box of shells, and Li Huan in front of him was digging the tunnel frantically, Changfeng was no stranger to the speed of Li Huan's digging tunnel, and he was now a little worried that Li Huan would not be punished for not obeying the order, and the last attack?
"You know what a fart, the third regiment is now facing a huge crisis, once Hongkou Town is lost, then our regiment will be very dangerous next year, so this battle must be fought this year, and it can't be lost!"
Changfeng's brain understood that this kind of esoteric thing was a bit difficult, but he was still willing to choose to believe Li Huan.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, as long as I can kill the devil!"
Li Huan didn't answer, just kept digging the soil with a hoe, and the tunnel was moving frantically in one direction.
And at this time, the devil attacked again, this was the third time to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army, and there were three white-knuckle battles between the two sides, and then the devil retreated.
Just when the commander of the third regiment checked the casualties, his heart was sad, 1,500 people beat more than 400 devils, and now they actually suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the devils have just suffered more than half of the casualties, and this gap is not ordinarily large.
"His grandmother's, these little devils' combat effectiveness is really strong, not comparable to those white dogs, no wonder the most elite Central Army can't compare with them!"
The commander of the third regiment pinned the shell gun to his belt, put one foot on the trench, and looked ahead with a telescope, and was very anxious, for he did not know whether he would be able to hold this position.
But at this time, Xu Dazhuang suddenly hurriedly ran to the position, ignored anyone, kept looking in the position, and after searching for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he asked the third regiment commander:
"Third Regiment Commander, have you seen Li Huan of our regiment? It's the one who can shoot! ”
The third regiment commander was a little inexplicable, why did Li Huan run to the battlefield? He's not an artilleryman!
"I didn't see it, didn't I let you stay behind, Comrade Li Huan is gone?"
"Ouch, this stinky boy is out doing something again!"
Xu Dazhuang talked with a few soldiers who were looking for Li Huan for a while, and found that there was really no Li Huan in the trench, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
