Chapter 320: Kencho Okazaki's counterattack
On the Guanjia Ridge, Kencho Okazaki sat in the position, and in the dark night, he could not see how many troops the Eighth Route Army had to attack.
"How prepared is the mountain artillery squadron? Did you find the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army? Kencho Okazaki looked at Hideo Matsushita beside him and asked in a cold voice.
Okazaki Kencho was a little annoyed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, when did the artillery of the Eighth Route Army dare to spread wilderness in front of the Imperial Japanese Army? Kenaga Okazaki is a proud enough person, in his opinion, with the strength in his hands, the Eighth Route Army does not have the strength of a brigade, and it is impossible to help him! Kenaga Okazaki clearly knew that during this period of time, the troops of the Eighth Route Army had lost a lot of troops.
After losing so many troops, the Eighth Route Army did not choose to hide and avoid being attacked by the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, and now these Eighth Route Army still dare to be so arrogant, do they just underestimate him Okazaki Kencho?
"Captain Okazaki, the rash use of the mountain artillery squadron will definitely expose the position of our artillery. Once the Eighth Route Army is prepared, then our mountain artillery squadron will inevitably be in danger. You should know the importance of the mountain artillery squadron, once we receive losses, then we will not have the support of artillery fire, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the large forces of the Eighth Route Army. Looking at Captain Okazaki in front of him, Hideo Matsushita couldn't help but persuade.
Hideo Matsushita wants to live, he hasn't been back home for several years, he has his wife and children in the country, and he doesn't want to die here with Kencho Okazaki! When he first came to China, Hideo Matsushita was full of confidence, he believed in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army! The slogan of destroying China in three months seems to be achievable! But as the war continued, Hideo Matsushita became less and less confident in this war.
At the beginning, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese resistance forces was not very strong, at least in the eyes of Matsushita Hideo, in front of the Imperial Japanese Army troops, the Chinese troops could not resist the edge of the Imperial Japanese Army units at all! But now, Matsushita Hideo found that the combat effectiveness of China's anti-Japanese armed forces and troops seemed to be constantly improving, at a speed they could not imagine.
And now? His Okazaki brigade was even besieged by the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Guanjiayuan area, and he wanted to successfully hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but he didn't know how long it would take. Matsushita Hideo looked at the Eighth Route Army attacking below, and could see that these Eighth Route Army soldiers still maintained a standard battle formation when attacking, and they were doing various tactical moves. /
Looking at all this, Matsushita Hideo's heart became heavier and heavier, only after experiencing the battle with the Chinese troops in the early days of the war would he understand how much the Chinese troops had changed. In the early days of the war, the army of the Empire of Japan was constantly pushing sideways, and the Chinese soldiers who resisted were easily harvested like wheat.
"Humph! Just by virtue of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army? Look at these shelling of the Eighth Route Army, how high is the hit rate? Even if they find out where our mountain artillery squadron is, what good can it do? With mortars in their hands, the range simply does not reach. Kencho Okazaki said with a disdainful expression. Kenaga Okazaki was not a fool, he saw that the technology of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was not very strong, and he was sure that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army could not pose a threat to the mountain artillery squadron.
If he didn't know this, then Kencho Okazaki would definitely not use the mountain artillery squadron easily, how could he not know the importance of the mountain artillery squadron? The biggest role of the mountain artillery squadron is to repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army and ensure that the Okazaki Brigade can hold on to the attack of the Eighth Route Army! Kencho Okazaki understands Hideo Matsushita's situation, and he doesn't want to die, and it is precisely because he doesn't want to die that he chooses to use the mountain artillery squadron.
"Matsushita-kun, don't worry, with the ability of these Eighth Route Army artillery, they will definitely not be able to pose a threat to us, not to mention that I also want these attacking Eighth Route Army troops to know how powerful our Okazaki Brigade is! We're not like the 4th Brigade on our own! Kencho Okazaki patted Hideo Matsushita on the shoulder vigorously, and there was a glint in his eyes.
Kencho Okazaki believed that as long as his mountain artillery squadron could take out these artillery of the Eighth Route Army, then in the next battle, the Eighth Route Army troops would be afraid. It is even said that these attacking Eighth Route Army units may directly choose to give up the battle, and without the cover of artillery, how can they resist the powerful firepower of the Imperial Japanese Army?
"I hope so! Several infantry squadrons were killed before, as if due to the artillery power of the Eighth Route Army! Previously, when the 36th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade each sent two infantry brigades to sweep the base area of the Eighth Route Army, the two brigades of the 36th Division encountered the Eighth Route Army Brigade, and the artillery team of the 386th Brigade directly killed the artillery, and was finally defeated by the Eighth Route Army head-on! ”
"Captain Okazaki, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is not weak, especially the artillery of the brigade!" Hideo Matsushita had obvious concern in his eyes, and unlike Kencho Okazaki, he was concerned about this information. Being able to live from the beginning of the war to the present, Matsushita Hideo's ability is not weak, if it weren't for this, he might have died somewhere on the battlefield in China long ago.
Kencho Okazaki frowned, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes, he was a little shocked to learn this information from Hideo Matsushita. It's just that even if he knows this, Ken Okazaki doesn't think that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is so strong, at least these artillery of the Eighth Route Army that controls mortars are not so strong!
"What you said is good, but the artillery of our Eighth Route Army that opened the artillery is not strong, and I think it should be that the brigade you said has not yet come here. While the 386 Brigade has not yet come here, we should take the initiative to attack! By the time the 386 Brigade arrived, then our mountain artillery squadron would have completed the transfer long ago, and naturally there would not be much of a problem. Kencho Okazaki said again.
Hideo Matsushita stopped talking, he chose to give up, he found that he couldn't dissuade Kencho Okazaki at all. In this regard, Matsushita Hideo can only hope that the artillery team of the Eighth Route Army Brigade is really not here, otherwise the mountain artillery squadron will expose its own position, and there will definitely be a lot of risk.
"Don't worry! The troops of the Eighth Route Army came in a hurry, and they couldn't carry heavy weapons at all, and if they were just mortars, they couldn't pose a threat to our mountain artillery squadron! Kencho Okazaki spoke again.
Matsushita Hideo nodded, hoping that everything was as Kencho Okazaki said, watching Kencho Okazaki order the mountain artillery squadron to launch a counterattack, I don't know why Hideo Matsushita had a little bad premonition.
In the position of the mountain artillery squadron of the Okazaki Brigade, the devil's artillery looked relaxed, and they also saw the somewhat lame technology of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, in their opinion, these artillery of the Eighth Route Army were nothing at all, and they could be easily defeated!
