The precious 70-millimeter shell fired by Li Ziyuan's first shot crossed the hill where the target was located and fell directly behind the Japanese position. In addition to startling the Japanese puppet army on the mountain, he almost didn't accidentally injure the Japanese puppet army, and the encirclement troops who were holding this hill were encircled.

The first regular artillery operation was missed, especially under the mountain, his own subordinates, and the Japanese puppet army on the mountain was in full view, which made Li Ziyuan feel a little embarrassed. It's just that although his face is somewhat unsightly, the result of the first shell missing did not affect his continued fire.

Maybe it was when the first shell was fired, Li Ziyuan was a little handy. When he calmed down and fired the second and third shells, he could be regarded as a master of practice, and two shells in a row accurately hit the position of the Japanese puppet army. These two shells caused the Japanese puppet army, which was located on the hill with a small area and basically no concealment, to be killed and wounded immediately.

Seeing the two shells fired by the detachment commander, they accurately exploded on the position of the Japanese puppet army, and the Japanese puppet army suffered heavy casualties. After a burst of cheers from the troops under the mountain, they immediately put on a general attack posture towards the hill under the cover of heavy machine guns.

For the Eighth Route Army, which rarely received artillery cover in combat, even the infantry gun that fired was a small cannon with a caliber of only 70 millimeters, and its power could not be compared with that of a real mountain artillery. But this is enough to make the morale of the troops who are already extremely tired after continuous marching and fighting suddenly rise a lot.

The Eighth Route Army under the mountain was cheering, but the remnants of the Japanese puppet army on the mountain were gloomy. Knowing that if they continued to stay, they would be the remnants of the Japanese puppet army, and launched a counterattack against the Eighth Road, which had set up a general attack at the foot of the mountain, trying to get close to the Eighth Road, so as not to continue to be bombed here.

This method of operation was the consistent practice adopted by the Eighth Route Army, which lacked support firepower and had insufficient ammunition for a small number of light and heavy machine guns, when fighting the Japanese army. Using concealment to get as close as possible to the enemy, fighting close combat with the Japanese army to offset the Japanese army's firepower superiority, and then concentrating its forces to fight the Japanese army with bayonets was a common tactical method adopted by the Eighth Route Army in fighting the Japanese army.

Although this method of warfare often kills 1,000 enemies, under the extremely strong individual quality and white-knuckle combat ability of the Japanese army, the self-inflicted losses are at least 800. But in the general lack of artillery, and the most basic bullets have to be counted, this is also the most helpless choice of the Eighth Route Army. Who made the Eighth Route Army poor and lacking heavy weapons?

Three guns and eight roads, this is the nickname given by the Japanese army to this tactic of the eight roads. It's just that the situation on both sides on the battlefield today has been reversed by 180 degrees. The eight roads under the mountain used the captured weapons to form a one-sided firepower advantage. The Japanese troops who lost all their heavy weapons on the mountain instead used the eight-way tactics that they had always looked down on.

There is no way, those bastard artillerymen who were killed and wounded by the eight-way sneak attack, and lost all their equipment in the first round of fighting, I don't know how many shells they lost. With such a small area, if the Eighth Road under the mountain smashed all the remaining shells regardless of ammunition consumption, it would be forcing himself to die early.

Bo Yi at least shut up the cannons that were originally his own, but now they have become the Eighth Road. If you reduce your own casualties, you can also look for opportunities to break through. Not only the overconfident Japanese army, but at least thought that they could still take advantage of it by fighting a white-knuckle war. Moreover, it is also a tradition of the Japanese army to break all the jade pieces when the war is unfavorable to avoid being captured.

However, the only thing that caused the dying blow was the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who remained after the explosion of two shells in succession. After the Japanese army rushed down, the puppet army on the mountain put the weapons in their hands neatly together. Wait for the battle at the bottom of the mountain to end, and then surrender yourself.

After the Japanese troops rushed down from the mountain launched a counterattack, they were stunned to find that the Eighth Road, which had been agitated very strongly, was only bluffing there, and did not really rush up the mountain at all. Waiting for the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the concealment, the 38 rifles in their hands were exposed to the bare mountainside.

Seeing these dozen Japanese soldiers rushing out, the instructor He Huizhang, who was in charge of the command under the mountain, did not have the slightest politeness. The Jinzao submachine gun in his hand directly pulled the plate machine, and the light machine gun shooters behind him also fired one after another, directly sweeping the dense ammunition over.

With so much ammunition captured and fighting with you, who would have such a dead head and lack of heart? Machine guns and submachine guns and the ample ammunition at the moment are not used, and they risk losing both sides to fight bayonets, what is that not idiot? When does it take to meet the enemy with firepower and reduce your own casualties?

Three Jin-made submachine guns that had just been captured from the puppet army, plus five or six light machine guns, swept away, and the dense firepower at close range directly knocked down the Japanese troops who launched a counter-charge. When the gunfire subsided, the corpses of a dozen Japanese soldiers who had been beaten into honeycomb coals were lying on half of the hillside.

Li Ziyuan solved the battle on his side, and He Huizhang also roughly completed the battle over there. However, He Huizhang's approach made Li Ziyuan very furious. This loser faced no more than 30 Japanese soldiers, and he actually fired seven or eight shells in one go. Although the number of casualties was reduced, Li Ziyuan was very distressed.

This bit of shells has been consumed, and I don't know when I want to replenish it. Although the arsenal in the base area can make mortar shells, it is not yet the turn of the monkey. Moreover, those made by the base areas themselves do not dare to guarantee how far the mortar shells can fly, and the quality is really not good.

Maybe he was a little angry before, but this time Li Ziyuan was really a little angry with Hehuizhang. When the battle was over, Li Ziyuan saw He Huizhang and didn't give him a good face for a long time. And he also knew in his heart that the detachment leader, why He Huizhang, who had a bad face, didn't dare to touch that moldy head.

The soldiers who commanded his own company loaded two mortars and the remaining more than 70 shells onto the mules used by the Japanese puppet army to transport artillery, and withdrew from the battlefield first. He Huizhang, who was afraid of being scolded, ran very fast, and he didn't even take the 92 infantry gun beside Li Ziyuan.

Seeing that this guy withdrew first, Li Ziyuan could only put away his words if he wanted to criticize him. However, Li Ziyuan has no heart to pursue He Huizhang at the moment, and there is still one matter waiting for him to deal with. And this incident made Li Ziyuan's anger far greater than the anger at He Huizhang's lavish waste of cannonballs.

As He Sanliang had guessed, Zeng Sheng not only did not arrive within the stipulated half an hour. And the battle here is over, and his county brigade still hasn't appeared on the battlefield yet. Although there was a burst of gunfire in the direction of Wangjiagou in the middle, this did not make Li Ziyuan accept Zeng Sheng's department, and there was no reason for him to appear for a long time.

Looking at the time on the watch, it had exceeded half an hour that he had given Zeng Sheng, and Li Ziyuan's face instantly became extremely pale. Li Ziyuan ordered to leave a company behind, and arranged for He Sanliang to continue to clean up the battlefield and contain prisoners with his troops, while he took a platoon of troops and rushed directly to the direction of Wangjiagou.

When I arrived at Wangjiagou, I saw that I was still grinding in Wangjiagou. After Zeng Sheng, who had not yet taken action over there, Li Ziyuan, who had a blue face, said directly to the soldiers beside him: "Give me his gun, tie him up and send him to the military division." ”

After receiving Li Ziyuan's order, several soldiers around him didn't say a word, and directly gave Zeng Sheng's gun down, and the people were tied up strongly. Several cadres of the county brigade here, because they all went out of the old Hubei Independent Battalion, are also Li Ziyuan's old subordinates. Seeing Li Ziyuan making such a big fire, no one dared to come up and persuade a few words, but just looked at the old superior a little inexplicably.

Zeng Sheng, who was tied up, was a little ashamed and didn't dare to look at Li Ziyuan, who was pale. Chang Juan and Ma Yongcheng, who were beside Li Ziyuan, wanted to persuade them, but in the end no one said anything. Disobedience to orders on the battlefield is unacceptable to any unit.

Zeng Sheng's Hubei County Brigade is now temporarily under the command of Li Ziyuan, which means that Li Ziyuan is his direct superior. When he received the order, he hesitated to go to war. After the battle began, he first sat back and watched He Sanliang fight hard over there without supporting, and then did not carry out the orders given by Li Ziyuan, which was enough to send him to a military court.

But Ma Yongcheng also knows that now is not the time to be too stiff with Zeng Sheng. Under the circumstance that Li Ziyuan has no right to remove Zeng Sheng, some things should not be too rigid. Ma Yongcheng hesitated for a moment, but finally gave Chang Juan a look. This matter is not suitable for others to advise, and Chang Juan has to speak better.

Just received the look from Ma Yongcheng, Chang Juan was just about to open her mouth when Li Ziyuan glared back: "None of you should be persuaded anymore, my decision has been made." No matter how many military exploits he had made before his death, today's events were enough to send him to a court-martial. ”

"He is a military commander, and he should know what the consequences of refusing to carry out the orders of his superiors on the battlefield are. Refusing to carry out orders on the battlefield alone was enough for him to go to the execution ground. In the Eighth Route Army, there is no need for him to be a commander in charge of the army who is bent on preserving his strength, and he does not need people who will not be saved when he dies. The first of the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention is to obey the command in all actions. ”

"In this battle, we won quite a fluke. If we hadn't knocked out the artillery positions of the Japanese puppet army first, once the war dragged on, we wouldn't have been able to send even the alert troops at hand. At that time, if even one squadron of Japanese troops sneaks up on us, the result that awaits us may be the total annihilation. ”

"He once had a complete county brigade in his hands, first sat back and watched He Sanliang fight hard over there, and then did not carry out the order, leaving us to fight alone under the condition of insufficient troops. I don't care what he thought at the time, but if I don't save him, I can shoot him right now. ”

"If a commander does not have a sense of the overall situation, he is not a qualified commander. If a soldier cannot obey orders, he must not be a soldier. I don't care what happens to other troops, but as long as the troops under my command come under my command, I will never tolerate this kind of thing. ”

"Lao Tzu has been a soldier for so many years, from the Red Army to the Eighth Route Army, cadres like him, Lao Tzu is still the first fucking time I have seen him. Yang Feng Yin disobeys, does not obey orders, does not obey commands, who gave him such courage? Not only did he forget his identity, but he also forgot the basic moral qualities of a soldier. ”

"I can tell you clearly today, as far as his approach today, whether it is to the division or the military region, at least he will definitely not be able to be the captain, as for whether he can save his head when the time comes. Military orders are like mountains, and there is no room for bargaining. ”
