Chapter 1391: The Loophole of the Japanese Army (First Update!) )
The chief of staff figured it out: as long as the heavy artillery units of the garrison regiment were killed, they would have the remaining strength and firepower, and even if they all came together to attack and attack, the troops would not be afraid.
But people are not as good as heaven, and Li Hao has no intention of killing them through a night attack.
Instead, while the heavy artillery battalion was still there and their aircraft reinforcements had not yet arrived for more than an hour, they were directly annihilated here in one go.
The shelling continued, and the devils were constantly killed and injured in the roaring explosions.
Although dispersal can reduce the casualties of troops, it cannot change the fact that heavy artillery is powerful.
No matter how scattered the Japanese puppet army is, there must be people within a radius of one or twenty meters.
No matter where the shells are hit, there will be results, it's just how many.
The wing captain also recognized this situation, and a look of anxiety slowly appeared on his calm face.
"Bageya Road, why hasn't the shelling of the garrison stopped, don't they want money for their heavy artillery shells? One shell only blows up two or three people, and none of the heavy artillery units of the imperial army are so wealthy! ”
"Sir, the garrison seems ready to consume us in large quantities with shells!" The chief of staff was also anxious and hurriedly said what he thought.
"I can see it!" The Wing Captain glared and replied angrily.
"In the beginning, one round of shells could kill more than 100 of us, but now that we are scattered, one round of shells can only kill twenty or thirty of us. If it was the Imperial Army's heavy artillery unit that fired the artillery, the shooting would definitely stop in this case, and it would be too bad to use heavy artillery in this way. ”
"But the garrison has not stopped!"
"They certainly don't have as much ammunition as the Imperial Army, but they waste shells so much that there can be no other reason than to kill us and consume us with shells."
"One round of artillery can kill twenty or thirty of our soldiers, and ten rounds of artillery can kill two or three hundred of us."
"If they have enough ammunition, ten minutes of shelling like this, our little force will be blown up."
"Inform the troops that they will continue to disperse to further reduce the damage of artillery shells to us."
"We have limited troops, and if we blow up one person, we will lose one, and we must not allow their plot to succeed."
The chief of staff hurriedly received the order, and immediately beckoned the guards and heralds around him to split up to give orders.
At this time, the Japanese puppet troops on the battlefield were hiding on both sides of the mountain road in infantry platoons and infantry squads.
If attacked, this infantry squad will definitely not be crushed with a single blow, and it will definitely have a short-term self-protection ability.
Then move closer to the nearby troops as you fight, and wait for an infantry squadron, or two infantry squadrons, to come together.
These troops can not only protect themselves, but also carry out a counteroffensive under the cover of sufficient firepower to defeat the Eighth Route Army that attacked them.
If the division continues, the troops can only act in detachments.
If it is attacked, the opponent only needs to kill more than one platoon, and this combat detachment will be crushed with one blow, and there is no chance to assemble, and it will be killed by the opponent on the spot, which gives the garrison regiment an excellent opportunity to break everyone.
Therefore, after receiving the order from the wing commander to continue the division of troops, the squad leaders refused a little.
But military orders could not be violated, especially in the highly hierarchical Japanese army.
Even if the superiors tell them to die, they must carry it out with their heads held high.
In the forest to the northeast of the battlefield, more than a hundred warriors shuttled inside.
Each warrior was dressed in camouflage and blended in with his surroundings, carrying a gun and feeling vigilant to reach for his front foot. The Japanese army wanted to find their traces more than ten meters away and prepare in advance, and the possibility was almost zero.
The commander of the eighth company walked in the middle of the line with a box cannon in hand.
The thunderous sound of artillery at the foot of the mountain provided them with the best cover, and they were not noticed by the devils until they touched the foot of the mountain.
The company commander waved his hand and wanted to lead the team to move forward, but the reconnaissance squad leader ran over panting.
"Company commander, there are devils fifty meters in front, thirteen people, armed with a light machine gun, no grenadiers, it should be a combat detachment."
"There are also two groups of devils scattered fifty meters away from the left and right flanks of this group of devils, also more than a dozen people, armed with a light machine gun, one with grenadiers and the other without ......"
The commander of the eighth company understood after thinking about it: "In order to avoid artillery fire and reduce casualties, the devil had to divide his troops and hide. It's just that I didn't expect them to be so scattered and act directly as a combat detachment, which is simply God helping me. ”
Speaking of which, the eyes of the Eighth Company Commander had begun to glow outward.
Holding the box cannon in his hand, he excitedly ordered: "This is an opportunity given to us by God, I don't have to say, kill them!" ”
"The first row will deal with me against the devil in the front, the second row will be responsible for the left, and the third row will be responsible for the right."
"The guard squad followed me, and the fire discharged two heavy machine guns to support the second and third platoons respectively."
"Touch the devils first, then shoot when the shells explode, and try to eat them silently."
"Boom ......"
A shell exploded more than 30 meters away, and although the dozen or so devils lying here were not injured, everyone's ears were buzzing and dizzy.
Although it was painful, no one showed it, and everyone's faces showed a happy expression for the rest of their lives.
If the shell just now had been more than ten meters away from them, a dozen people would definitely not have been lying here intact, and they would have been seriously injured if they didn't die.
"Boom ......"
Another shell exploded near them, this time even farther away than just now.
But a dozen devils were not happy.
The moment the shells exploded, dozens of bullets suddenly appeared out of nowhere, flying towards everyone from all directions.
Everyone was lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, their spirits were highly nervous, and some people prayed in their hearts that the next shells would be far away from them, and they were not vigilant at all around them.
When the opponent fired, the shell exploded just right, and the violent explosion muffled the gunfire so tightly that nothing could be heard.
In the face of sudden bullets, everyone was blinded.
Bullets appeared as if out of thin air, burrowing into them without warning.
More than a dozen devils were hidden in this area, under the unified command of a Cao Chang, but in order to prevent everyone from being hit by the cannonballs, they were all lying on their stomachs several meters apart from each other, motionless.
In the rumbling cannon, even if a soldier is killed by a bullet that flies inexplicably, the comrades next to him will not notice anything.
A total of three little devils were quietly killed by Balian.
At this time, the Eighth Company had already touched the position of 500 meters from the Japanese artillery position.
The devil soldiers hiding from the artillery fire in front are getting denser and denser, and if they continue to advance, they will definitely be exposed.
In order to kill the other party by surprise, the company commander decisively stopped.
"Stop advancing, prepare gas masks, and as soon as the heavy artillery battalion's artillery fire stops, we will attack the devil's artillery position."
"The gas bomb is there, take down the troops that fire the gas bombs, and we will win this battle."
"Boom...... the last shell fell down.
The moment the smoke rose into the air, a soldier was blown into the sky along with the flying firelight.
It was only then that the tense nerves of the wing commander were relieved, and he quickly ordered: "The troops are assembled immediately, and the artillery is ready for battle." ”
"Inform Chuntian-kun that if the Eighth Route Army attacks us, immediately launch poison gas bombs to stop them."
"In order to avoid artillery fire, our troops are too scattered and can easily be broken by the Eighth Route Army."
"Only when we gather together can we form combat effectiveness and protect the artillery until the aviation comes to kill."
