The co-captain was in a worse mood.

In addition to the forward troops, other troops are also his subordinates.

The forward squadron had just been covered by artillery fire, and the troops in the rear of the hall were also covered by artillery fire, and the situation was no worse than that of the forward.

As soon as the mortar equipped by the wing counterattacked, the rain of shells falling from the sky stopped.

Before they could rejoice, a new rain of shells soon came from other places.

The three mortar squadrons continued to fire back and forth, and then adjusted the new firing crews and continued to fire, busy and happy, but the firing effect was very limited, and the shells that hit the middle of the team did not decrease, but the position of the shelling changed.

In the face of this unpredictable shelling, the three mortar squadrons were more than capable of strength, and they were completely led by the nose by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and they could not help them at all.

The planes were also unreliable, and they smashed down three aviation planes in a row and blew them up, killing only two or three artillery positions, but the impact on the battle situation was very limited.

There are too many artillery attacking themselves, they are everywhere in all directions, blowing up here and ignoring there.

"The troops rushed out of the mountain pass on a hurried march, hurry out of here!" The Wing Commander commanded with a calm face.

If you can't win, you can hide, this is the most straightforward solution to the problem that the wing captain has come up with.

Besides, now my task is to evacuate the base area of the garrison regiment, and there is no need to fight the Eighth Route Army again when leaving, and if a piece of meat is bitten, it will be a big loss.

"Captain, Wing Commander order: The troops continue to move forward and march out of here." A herald came running on a fast horse and shouted.

The captain of the brigade began to give the order from the moment he got up from his hiding place: "The troops are assembled at once, and the rapid march rushes across the mountain pass, and the movement must be ...... quickly"

The assembly order spread rapidly around the captain.

The soldiers scattered on both sides of the road quickly approached the road, carrying weapons and ammunition and preparing to continue the march.

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

The rain of shells came again, falling from the sky and exploding in the middle of the ranks, and at least thirty shells flew from different directions around the perimeter, with the same eyes, and most of them smashed on the road.

In the flames and smoke that burst into the sky, many soldiers were blown away before they could react.

"Bageya Road, we are targeted by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and we will immediately disperse and hide!" The captain shouted with a heartache on his face.

After saying that, the first one lay on the ground, holding his head, to avoid the next rain of shells.

The "boom ......" explosion kept ringing in the ears, getting denser and denser.

Several shells exploded directly down a few meters away.

The guards lying next to him were very conscientious, pounced on their backs, and used their bodies to block the fragments of shells flying towards them.

In the rumbling explosion, the heavy shelling lasted half a minute before stopping.

When the captain raised his head, he saw half a corpse, less than two meters away from him.

The entire lower half of his body was blown up, and the bright red flesh and bones, Bai Sensen's bones, looked particularly scary.

Elsewhere it is even worse.

At a glance, fifty or sixty craters were densely scattered along the road, and around each crater were one or two corpses of imperial soldiers in various postures......

"Captain, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, as soon as we assemble, there will be shells smashing over, and we lost at least two hundred people in the shelling just now." The vice-captain who was lying next to him reported.

The captain's face turned red in an instant because of anger.

The forward troops lost one squadron, and just now they lost more than 200 people, and after subtracting the losses of the brigade in the previous sweeping process, there are less than 400 people left in the entire brigade.

Excluding the artillery and heavy machine gunners who worked together, there was still one squadron of infantry.

If this amount of troops were to be bombed again after being gathered, the entire brigade would be empty.

But the wing commander's order to retreat must be carried out,

forcibly suppressed his anger and ordered with a calm face: "The troops can no longer be assembled, that is no different from sending them to death." ”

"We retreated in small groups, scattered in small groups close to the mountain pass, and then rushed over and left here in a hurry, so that the damage of the artillery to us could be minimized."

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Commander Zhou and Hong Linfeng had shocked expressions on their faces, and their eyes looking at Li Hao were not only admiration but admiration.

The regiment commander was too powerful: without spending a single soldier, he only used more than 100 mortars to trap more than 5,000 puppet troops in a pocket formation, unable to advance or retreat.

This is a picture that the two of them have never thought of at all.

Li Hao decided to explain to them: "Commander Zhou, Chief of Staff, don't underestimate the power of these mortars. ”

"More than a dozen mortars attacked more than 5,000 days of puppet troops, maybe just scratching, but we have more than a hundred mortars."

"If the devil ignores and continues to advance, more than 100 mortars can shoot out a thousand shells in a minute, and in five or six minutes, all the 6,000 mortar shells we brought can be exhausted."

"The battlefield is so big, the Japanese puppet army will definitely not be able to run out within five minutes."

"The firing crews of the artillery are calculated in advance, as long as the artillery observer determines the specific position of the Japanese puppet army, the artillery will be able to fire immediately, and point where to hit."

"At least two-thirds of the 6,000 shells can hit the Japanese puppet army, which adds up to 4,000 shells, and no matter how many people there are, it will not be enough for us to blow up."

"The devil commander is not stupid, he must know the price to be paid for forcing a breakthrough, and only then did he order his troops to stop and hide from artillery fire.

"Of course, more than a hundred mortars are scattered on such a large battlefield, and if they do not belong to each other and fight separately, the killing effect is also very limited."

"Only by concentrating the artillery fire to one point of heavy bombardment can we kill and injure the enemy in large numbers and hurt the devils."

"Our artillery, although scattered, was connected from position to position, and according to the battle plan, five artillery positions were under the unified command of a company commander."

"There is also telephone contact between the company commander and the company commander, and two or three company commanders can cooperate in the operation."

"It's like the shelling just now, a total of ten artillery positions are shooting at the little devils who are assembling together."

"Not only can it hit them hard, but it can also blow them up so that they can't gather."

The more Hong Linfeng listened, the more excited he became, and said with an excited face: "If the devils don't assemble, they can't continue to move forward, so they can only be blocked here by us." ”

"It can also make the devil infantry useless." Head Zhou also excitedly said his thoughts.

"I just saw that after the shelling began, many devils wanted to counterattack, but we didn't send troops, the artillery was at least a kilometer away from them, and they couldn't find a target if they wanted to counterattack, so they could only disperse in place to avoid artillery fire."

At this moment, Hong Linfeng suddenly interrupted: "Commander, there is a problem here. ”

"What if the Japanese puppet army retreats."

"As you just said, the battlefield is too big, and as soon as our artillery is dispersed, the lethal effect will be reduced."

"After the Japanese puppet army is dispersed, our artillery fire will definitely disperse, so can't they rush out of our pocket formation at the lowest cost?"

"Although this is a bit unreasonable, as long as you can survive and reduce the casualties, it cannot be ruled out that the devil will do this."
