Chapter 342: A Good Start (Second Update!) )
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
After Li Hao glanced at his watch, he decisively ordered: "Start attacking!" ”
"Yes, regiment commander......" Hong Linfeng rushed out of the tent with an excited face.
"Da Da Da ......"
The first shots rang out in the northeast direction of the battlefield, and when they reached the command headquarters, the sound of gunfire was already very small, which showed the size of the battlefield.
Li Hao couldn't sit still, grabbed the binoculars and rushed out of the headquarters.
It is nearly five kilometers away from the Japanese puppet army station, and it is condescending and can overlook the entire battlefield.
Disappointingly, no matter how Li Hao observed, the battlefield was pitch black. Except for the sporadic sound of firefights, nothing else could be seen.
"Regiment commander, there is movement in the Japanese puppet army station." Hong Linfeng reminded.
The sound of gunfire alarmed the Japanese puppet army in the station, and the piles of bonfires illuminated it brightly, and the devils rushed out of the tent with weapons in hand, first completed the assembly in the open space next to them, and then rushed around the station with light and heavy weapons in small teams, in an orderly manner.
"Boom ......"
Half an hour later, a shell suddenly exploded in the middle of the Japanese garrison.
The moment the fireball accompanied by black smoke rose into the air from the point of impact, the sound of the explosion also reached Li Hao's ears.
The distance was long, but the explosion was clear.
A smile quickly flashed on Li Hao's serious face, and then he shouted: "It's a heavy mortar, and there is already an artillery movement in place and an attack has begun." ”
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of four consecutive explosions came at the same time.
The impact point of the bullet was nearly 100 meters away from just now, but it smashed right around the three finished tanks with a zigzag distribution.
The shells did not hit the tanks directly, and in the explosion, the three tanks stood still.
But the devils scattered around the tank were miserable.
A powerful wave of qi instantly knocked them over, and then slammed them into the ground, or directly on the tank.
The shock wave struck together, and before these devils could react, they were shocked to death and injured, and lost their combat effectiveness.
Although it was a heavy mortar that fired a heavy artillery, judging purely from the caliber, it belonged to the category of heavy artillery, but the rate of fire was not affected by heavy artillery.
Just a few seconds after the explosion ended, the sound of shells crossing the sky rang out.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Soon, the second round of explosions came and was deafening.
This time a tank was hit, and it was a light tank.
The moment the shell exploded and the flames rose from the tank, a large hole appeared, and billowing black smoke came out of the hole like wolf smoke.
The Japanese army reacted quickly, even a little beyond Li Hao's imagination.
As soon as the four heavy mortars fired four rounds of shells, they began to counterattack, and they were also heavy mortars, and the number was doubled.
A head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese artillery would definitely wipe out the entire army in the end, so dozens of gunners almost did not hesitate, staring at the shells that might be smashed at any time, disassembling the artillery as fast as they could, and preparing to transfer.
On the other hand, the Japanese army, the word elite is once again reflected from them.
More than a dozen shells smashed through, and the station showed not the slightest sign of confusion.
The remaining two tanks stared at the artillery fire and rushed out of the shelled area, and the infantry also scattered out, scattered in defensive formation.
Looking at the devils on the garrison defense line, except for a few armed guards, everyone else is wielding sapper shovels, widening and deepening the position under their feet, so that they can have a little more money to save their lives in the next battle, and they will not be affected by the explosion behind them at all.
They were all veterans, especially officers.
Even a small ensign squad leader, that's battle-hardened.
Although the explosion behind him had nothing to do with him, the explosion was too loud, and when he heard it, he knew that it was an explosion that could only be made by a heavy artillery shell.
The Eighth Route Army even used heavy artillery, so tonight's attack would definitely be unusual.
So they directly prepare for the next battle that has not yet started according to the standard of fighting a tough battle.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Another artillery joined the battle.
This time the shells fell directly on the garrison line.
In the blink of an eye, the line of defense, which was still busy just now, fell silent, except for the sound of explosions, there was no figure.
"Regiment commander, that side is the direction of attack of the independent battalion, they must have moved in place." Hong Linfeng reminded.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Speaking kung fu, the cannonballs are smashed on the battlefield as if they don't want money.
It didn't take long for the garrison line to be enveloped in smoke and dust from the explosion.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Ordinary mortars equipped with Japanese troops also joined the battle, chasing the exposed artillery positions of the separate battalion.
In order to keep the artillery, the mortars equipped by the independent battalion had to transfer the artillery positions and fight guerrilla attacks with the devil artillery.
However, the target of their shelling has not changed, and they have always fired at the Japanese garrison.
"Woo woo woo ......"
A string of piercing screams suddenly reached Li Hao's ears, and his eyes lit up.
"It's mountain artillery, our mountain artillery unit has fired."
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The explosion then reached Li Hao's ears, and the fireball rose from the Japanese puppet army garrison along with black smoke and appeared in Li Hao's field of vision.
"Regiment commander, that's the heavy mortar position that the devil just exposed, and it's being targeted by our mountain artillery unit."
Li Hao nodded in affirmation: "I hope they can make some gains, and it is best to destroy those heavy mortars." ”
"Our mountain artillery positions are all arranged outside the effective range of mortars, and if the devils want to threaten them, they can only use mountain artillery in the same way. But they are only equipped with a brigade of twelve guns, and they are definitely not our opponents in terms of numbers, and then it will be up to Yuan Qingfeng's artillery battalion. ”
"As long as these twelve mountain artillery pieces are killed, the remaining mortars will be pressed by our mountain artillery troops because the range is too close, and the next battle will be much easier."
In a tent in the center of the station, the captain of the devil wing was very excited.
He hadn't slept when the gunshots rang out, and he didn't pay much attention to them, subconsciously seeing the gunshots as a general sneak attack.
After all, for several days, this kind of gunfire has been surrounding his ears without interruption.
The moment the cannon rang out, he realized that something was wrong.
Especially after determining that the other side was using heavy mortars, he immediately decided that this was a premeditated attack, not a sneak attack.
Then the whole person became excited.
I chased and fought here for three days, the purpose was to find the main force of the garrison regiment and then destroy them.
It didn't take much effort to get it, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to attack themselves.
This is simply sending you to death, giving yourself war exploits for nothing.
The co-captain has the capital of hubris.
So far, there are more than 3,000 people under his command, of which 3,000 are imperial troops, and they are also equipped with a mountain artillery brigade, a heavy mortar squadron, and a chariot squadron.
On the other hand, the garrison regiment, after continuous combat, has long been wounded.
Even if they still have a lot of troops that have not moved, they are confident that they can kill them.
Take 10,000 steps back, even if your appetite is not so big, there are still three support armies standing behind you, and with their help, the imperial army will win.
Regardless of whether you take out the opponent on your own in the end, or rely on reinforcements to take out the opponent, the first attack will definitely be your own.
So the co-captain had no worries at all and was full of confidence.
