"Commander, the assault team has opened the breakthrough!" Hong Linfeng stared at the black shadow on the battlefield and reported excitedly.

"Flying Thunder Artillery Troops, go up!" Li Hao forced himself to remain calm and ordered calmly.

"Set up the artillery at a position of 100 meters away from the devil's station, see the attack signal, fire two explosive packs from each flying thunder cannon, and after the fight, move back 50 meters to re-set the gun, and continue to shoot according to the requirements of the attacking troops."

"Mortars set up artillery at a position 500 meters outside the station, blasting at places where there are many devils, preventing them from gathering, and covering the assault of the attacking troops on the station."

"The guard company of the garrison regiment, the fourth company of the second battalion, the two companies of the second and third independent regiments, plus a fire company, form the East Road Assault Team, Chief of Staff Hong, you personally command, launch an assault from the easternmost part of the gap to the station, and divide the more than 300 devils in the easternmost part of the station."

"If you can kill it, you can kill it, and if you can't kill it, you will surround it, and contact artillery and flying thunder artillery units for artillery support."

"The garrison regiment has seven companies of the third battalion, one firepower company, one company of the first battalion of the independent regiment and five or six companies of the second battalion, forming the middle assault team, Commander Zhou, you personally command, and the little devil in the middle of the garrison will be attacked head-on."

"There are little devil artillery positions and command there, of which the artillery positions pose the greatest threat to us. Once the troops are inside, they must destroy the enemy artillery as soon as possible before they can attack other targets. ”

"If you have any questions, feel free to call for artillery support."

"The second battalion, four companies, three battalions, and a firepower company of the garrison regiment of the independent regiment form the West Road Assault Team, Chief of Staff Chen, you are responsible for commanding, assault from the westernmost part of the gap, and divide the hundreds of devils in the westernmost part of the station."

"The guard company of the separate regiment, the heavy machine gun company as a reserve, ready to go into battle at any time."

"I ordered that all units move in place within twenty minutes, and start attacking when they see the flares."

Thirty flying thunder guns were lined up, and the barrels made of gasoline barrels pointed diagonally at the Japanese garrison, which contained propellant packs and disc-sized explosive packets, ready to be fired at any time.

A hundred meters away from the Japanese position, all the devils were sleeping soundly, not realizing that danger had descended on them.

"Horn Horn Horn ......"

Three flares suddenly exploded in the air at a high altitude a few hundred meters away.

The brilliant white light it produces can be seen from several kilometers away.

Many devils were awakened at this moment.

Subconsciously grabbed the rifle in his arms and lay on the ground.

But they were so tired, everyone didn't get enough sleep, they had sleepy-eyed tired expressions, and their movements were noticeably slower than normal.

Despite this, the knee-jerk reaction can still show their strong combat power and vigilance that has been deeply rooted in their bones.

Kato Nakasa was also awakened and got up from the bed.

rushed to the door of the tent, and was just about to ask his subordinates what was going on, when the explosion of "boom, boom, boom ......" reached his ears.

"What's going on with the explosion, find out right away!" Kato Nakasa immediately ordered.

"Boom ......"

Before his subordinates received the order, the sound of an explosion shaking the ground and shaking the mountains sounded in their ears.

More than 100 meters away, balls of fire rose into the air, and in the flying firelight, many soldiers were like papier-mâché toys that were blown up into the sky, flying everywhere, and finally smashed to the ground.

"It's the Flying Thunder Cannon......" Kato Nakasa exclaimed with his mouth open and a look of surprise on his face.

In the North China Front, all the officers who fought with the Eighth Route Army had seen this weapon.

Although there are many drawbacks, many times it is directly used as a disposable weapon by the Eighth Route Army.

But there's no denying the power of this weapon.

Once the disc-sized explosive bag hits the head of the Imperial Army, the damage caused by it is devastating.

At a glance, the fireballs and black smoke that rose into the air were all along the road, in the middle of the imperial army station.

Cold sweat quickly popped up from Kato Nakasa's forehead.

He panicked, and began to speak incorrectly: "There are at least twenty flying thunder cannons attacking us, right under our noses. ”

"Still stunned for what to do, order the troops to fight back immediately and destroy them."

"Otherwise, the troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

As soon as his subordinates left, Kato raised his binoculars and looked at the battlefield.

The explosion stopped, and there were more than fifteen huge craters that could be clearly seen along the road, one after the other, densely packed.

Around each crater there were a large number of corpses, wounded, and certainly a hundred and fifty people combined.

This is what I see.

Many craters were blocked because of the terrain, and I couldn't see them.

Combined with the soldiers who were blown to pulpping in the center of the crater, the casualties of his men exceeded 300 in just one round of explosions.

Kato gasped and continued to observe the battlefield while praying in his heart that the troops would attack quickly and not prepare the enemy to fire a second round of explosives.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosion sounded again, and Kato was startled and hurriedly looked at the explosion point.

"It's a mortar, not a thunderbolt!" Kato exclaimed with a long breath.

Compared with the explosives packs hit by the flying thunder cannons, the power of mortar shells is much smaller, and the lethality is also limited.

But within seconds, Kato Nakasa realized that he had misjudged.

The lethality of a single shell is indeed limited, but the power of a dozen shells at the same time is equally great.

The mortar rate of fire is fast, the explosion of one round of shells has not ended, and the second round of shell rain has already followed, and it is ......

In less than half a minute, an area with a radius of 50 meters in the middle of the station was covered by artillery fire.

The flying firelight, the smoke of gunpowder, covered it so tightly that nothing could be seen.

Judging by his own experience, his subordinates in this area must have suffered heavy casualties.

Kato Nakasa began to be anxious again, shouting: "The artillery will immediately counterattack, find the enemy's artillery position, destroy it." ”

"Sir, an enemy is coming at us, and it looks like the military uniform is the Eighth Route Army." One of his subordinates rushed over and reported.

Kato Nakasa looked in the direction of his subordinates' fingers.

Under the light of the fire, the attacking troops were faintly visible.

With a gun in his hand and a light machine gun in his hand, he shot towards the station like a wave.

"The troops fought back on the spot and resolutely blocked them."

"The artillery immediately destroys the enemy's artillery positions, and then supports the infantry in the operation."

"We have twelve mortars, two infantry guns, and eight mountain guns, and we will definitely be able to counterattack and defeat these Eighth Route Army."

Kato Nakasa was confident in his artillery units, but the opponent's artillery strength was not weak.

The mortars of the two regiments combined already surpassed them in numbers.

Although they did not bring infantry and mountain artillery, they brought thirty thunderbolts.

Divided into three, staring at the three point bombs of the infantry attack, he almost blew up these three garrisons into no man's land.

After receiving the counterattack order, more and more devils in the vicinity gathered here again, and when they set up light and heavy machine guns to prepare to counterattack the attacking troops, the second round of explosives from the flying thunder cannon happened to smash over.

The devils who had just gathered here were directly served in a pot.
