According to the situation detected earlier, the number of Japanese troops stationed in Luzhou City should be about one infantry wing. Coupled with the puppet army it has recruited, the number of Japanese puppet troops in Luzhou City at this moment should be about 5,000 people, and it is also equipped with an artillery squadron.

According to common sense, there are so many counties defended by the Japanese puppet army, and if the anti-Japanese army wants to attack, it needs to send at least one main division. In addition, the artillery used to attack the fortification must not be less, otherwise it will not be possible to capture the city of Luzhou with city defense.

But for Hu Biao at this moment, the total strength of the entire task force is less than 400 people. Even if the guerrillas in the territory were contacted, the number of troops that Hu Biao could command at this time could not be compared with the Japanese puppet army in Luzhou City.

The problem is that Hu Biao does not intend to play his cards according to common sense, but intends to eat away at the Japanese puppet army in the city little by little. According to the situation of last night's shelling, Hu Biao believes that the little devils in Luzhou City should not dare to go out of the city to fight easily.

If the little devil really dared to go out of the city to fight, then Hu Biao would feel more at ease. In addition to night battles and field battles, the task force can give full play to its strength. With the guerrillas who are good at guerrilla warfare, they should be able to clean up the little devils even worse.

After a day of tossing, the atmosphere in Luzhou City should have become very tense. If the little devil is not stupid, he will inevitably make corresponding arrangements to solve the current dilemma and deadlock. If you want to attack again, it's not as easy as it is today.

Thinking that there were many materials and ammunition needed by the Japanese division and regiment stored in Luzhou City, and when it was impossible to send troops to raid it, the only way to blow it up was to use long-range artillery fire. In this way, the defenders of the city were further oppressed.

After giving Xu Sandao the order to infiltrate, Hu Biao took the most elite guard platoon to a hill next to the south of the city. Near the road in front of the city gate in the south of the city, a combat company has been assembled in position, just waiting for the little devil to attack.

In addition, the rest of the combat troops, Hu Biao also sent them to the vicinity of the rest of the city gates. The guerrillas who cooperated with the operation, although they all stayed in the rear of the battlefield to rest. But if there is a combat mission, they can also quickly come and join the battle.

Although the guerrillas have a mediocre combat capability, they can be numerous. At the end of the day, Hu Biao collectively changed the weapons and equipment of the guerrillas. Pull to the battlefield to block the attack, and the number alone can make the little devil feel bad.

Looking at the artillery placed on the temporary artillery position, Tian Tiezhu, who was staying beside Hu Biao, still couldn't hide his shock and said: "Detachment leader, how did these big guys get here?" With these big guys, we can directly attack the city! ”

"Nonsense! Let's just order troops, even if we blow up Luzhou City and rush into the city to get entangled with the little devils, what do you think will be the result? Even if we can eliminate the little devils in the city, how many people will we have left in the end? ”

As for the artillery placed on the position, it was placed on the mountainside after night fell, and Hu Biao led the guards to platoon over. As for how these artillery pieces appeared here, many combat team members felt novel, but they did not dare to inquire blindly.

As the most trusted guard platoon around Hu Biao, these combat team members are all veterans, and they have followed Hu Biao for the longest time in life and death. Hu Biao's various miracles and mysteries, these fighters have also seen a lot, and their hearts are full of awe.

It's just that, compared with the past when Hu Biao only engaged in mortars and infantry artillery, this time Hu Biao made an artillery with 75 caliber mountain artillery and 105 caliber field artillery. The former has eight, the latter has four and a corresponding batch of shells.

Such a large number of artillery pieces really surprised everyone. Only Hu Biao knew that these artillery pieces had emptied the accumulation of storage space. Each of these artillery pieces was accumulated by Hu Biao with great difficulty.

Compared with artillery, Hu Biao has always maintained this scale, and Hu Biao still stored a batch of shells. Guns have a long service life, but the number of shells that can be stored in space is not large. If it weren't for the siege, Hu Biao really didn't want to use it easily.

In Hu Biao's vision, these artillery pieces were one of the killer features he kept for the task force. Fighting behind enemy lines, Hu Biao didn't dare to guarantee when he would crash into the encirclement of the little devils. These cannons can also be used for surprises!

I didn't explain too much to the team members, about the operation of mountain artillery and field artillery, these combat team members led by Hu Biao all understood. In addition, Hu Biao personally served as the artillery commander, and the combat members of the guard platoon were very excited about the opportunity to become artillerymen.

"Pillar, inform Lao Qin, and after a quarter of an hour, begin to carry out artillery bombardment on the defenders of the city gate. Use those heavy mortars and focus on shelling the little devil's fortifications. I'm going to make the little devils in the city completely nervous! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

"Xiao Wu, pay attention to the telegram sent by the reconnaissance detachment at any time. What results we can achieve tonight will depend on the shelling parameters sent back by the reconnaissance detachment. The mountain artillery team began to prepare, and the field artillery team did not move for the time being, waiting for my order at any time! ”

Inform Zheng Jingwu, who was accompanying him, to pay attention to receiving the telegram, and Hu Biao, who had already given an order to Qin Tianyou, quietly watched Luzhou City not far away. The Japanese puppet army responsible for guarding the city wall was still patrolling back and forth on the city.

After receiving the combat order issued by Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou also said directly: "The gunner is in place, ready to fire!" ”

The combat team members who are responsible for operating the mortars are picking up the shells in the gun boxes one after another. Speaking of which, Hu Biao's daring to let go of the shelling of Luzhou City today has a lot to do with his ambush and supply convoy during the day, and the number of captured shells is a bit too much.

Fortunately, the artillery captured by Hu Biao was all made by the Japanese army, and the captured artillery shells could naturally be used. In this way, Hu Biao did not have to worry about running out of shells at all. As long as the artillery is not scrapped, he can blow up Luzhou City.

In the past, when little devils attacked cities with strong city defenses, most of them would use air raids, bombardments and artillery bombardments to destroy the defenders guarding these counties. So tonight, Hu Biao also let the little devil know what it's like to be bombed!

"Put!"

With Qin Tianyou's order, more meteor showers took off again than last night. Looking at the meteors flying in the distance, the Japanese soldiers at the head of the city who were patrolling screamed again: "Enemy attack! Shelling! Take cover! Quick, hide! ”

The defenders, who had already experienced the shelling last night, knew that this kind of shelling seemed to be unruly, but in fact it was just as dangerous. Now that it was not long after dark, the attackers, who had blocked them for a day, began to shell again.

Look at the shelling frame, it is even more fierce than last night. Could it be that the attackers outside the city are planning to attack the city tonight?

The Japanese adjutants who were holding a meeting at the garrison headquarters heard the explosion coming from the south of the city again, and the Japanese army immediately frowned and said: "Quick, immediately send someone to the south of the city to check the situation!" Order the artillery squadron and prepare for a counterattack! ”

"Dazuo, listen to this explosion, the scale of the shelling tonight is bigger than last night. Could it be that the enemy is preparing to attack the city? ”

"Impossible! Unless the enemy commander is insane, they should know that it is simply impossible to storm the cities we defend with shelling of this magnitude. I think this should be another harassment! ”

A group of adjutants expressed their analysis, but the Japanese army still said with a serious expression: "No matter what the situation is, all departments will continue to be vigilant tonight." Except for the troops on duty in the upper city, the other troops stayed in the barracks, waiting for orders at any time! ”

"Hey!"

The mortar took the lead in the night battle of shelling Luzhou City, and the puppet army stationed in Luzhou City was worried, and sighed speechlessly in his heart: "Look at this, don't think about resting tonight!" Alas, how good is it to go on like this! ”

After being blocked in the city for a day, these puppet soldiers also felt that the atmosphere was too depressing. As the most disadvantaged people in the city, these puppet soldiers don't like this lifeless atmosphere either. Because if they are not careful, they will become the punching bag of the Japanese army.

On the other hand, the task force lurking outside the city, as well as some guerrilla backbones who watched the battle. Looking at the defenders on the southern wall of the city, covered by countless artillery fire, he naturally felt particularly relieved. And the backbone of the guerrillas was even more shocked.

Many backbones said with envy: "Captain, can you tell Chief Hu how many mortars we have?" With mortars, it should be easier for us to clean up the little devils in the future. This artillery sounds like it's enjoyable! ”

"Do you really dare to think that this mortar is a big turnip, and you can give it away casually? Even if we want mortars, we won't be able to use them in the end. The main forces can't be used, do you think our guerrillas can use it? ”

As a soldier, who does not want the firepower of the troops to be strong. The problem is that mortars seem simple, but they still need to be operated by fighters who understand artillery. In addition to this, the source of shells is also a problem. Can't capture shells, mortars are just decorations!

After five rounds of shelling, Qin Tianyou immediately ordered: "A small team has begun to retreat!" Second squad, two more shells to withdraw! ”

Knowing that the little devil's artillery counterattack was very fast, in order to avoid casualties in the artillery detachment, Qin Tianyou deliberately divided the artillery into two squads. The eight mortars of the first squad are of the same caliber, and they were also used by Xu Sandao last night.

The extra heavy mortars tonight were organized into two detachments by Qin Tianyou, separated from the first detachment by some distance. In this way, the eight mortars of the detachment withdrew first, and the heavy mortars fired two more shells to lure the Japanese troops in the city to open fire.

If the little devil artillery in the city does not fight back, then Qin Tianyou will also switch the artillery position and continue to shell the city wall in the south of the city. Until the little devil artillery in the city had to fire back. As soon as they return fire, this artillery squadron will be finished!

After the mortar platoon, Hu Biao, who stayed in the artillery position, continued to stare at the situation in the city. When a few objects with tail flames flew out of the city, Hu Biao immediately said: "Start calculating the location of the little devil's artillery position!" ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

Several combat team members who are good at estimating calculated the location of their artillery positions according to the trajectory of the little devil's artillery fire. Hu Biao, as the commander, was also added to the calculation sequence. The measured data are synthesized and the same data is taken as the shelling parameters.

As the surveyors successively reported their calculated azimuth distances, Hu Biao ordered the artillery to begin to adjust the angle of the Qiwu Mountain Cannon after listening to it. Once the artillery is fired, Hu Biao will completely destroy the artillery squadron of the little devils in the city.

Without this artillery squadron, the artillery under Hu Biao could bombard Luzhou City unscrupulously. When the time comes, the little devil who can only be bombed and can't fight back believes that he will feel even more aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart!
