Chapter 447: Preemptive Strike

Mobile reading

Takeda Shaozuo had already rushed to the front line at this time, and when he saw that his troops were so easily defeated by the Eighth Route Army, he angrily scolded: "Bagaya Road! These dirt roads are really hateful, and they are hateful! ”

"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" At this time, a devil officer next to him spoke: "According to the observation just now, the firepower of the people of China is very strong, and they have built complete fortifications, so it seems impossible to quickly break through the defense line of Tubalu. ”

The corners of Takeda Shaozuo's mouth twitched, he frowned and hesitated slightly, and then ordered loudly: "Immediately pass the order, order the artillery to build artillery positions on the spot, provide artillery support for the infantry, and the infantry squadron is ready to attack at any time." ”

"Hello!" A devil officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

At the same time, Liu Hong stood in the forward observation post, holding a telescope to observe the actions of the devil opposite, frowned slightly and said, "The little devil has stopped attacking. Notify the forward scouts and keep a close eye on the devil's every move. ”

"Yes!" A soldier next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Liu Hong put down the binoculars and said with a sneer: "It's okay if they don't attack!" Just enough to give the fighters a good rest, the little devils are not in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry. ”

According to Liu Hong's plan, the best time for a counteroffensive should be set this evening, when the main forces of the devils are estimated to have arrived, and at night, the Eighth Route Army does not have to worry about being bombed by the devils, and the situation is more favorable to the Eighth Route Army. So if you can delay a little time now, Liu Hong can't ask for it.

After a while, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over, stood upright, raised his hand to give Liu Hong a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the little devil is building an artillery position." ”

"Hmph~!" Liu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devil has this ability, the little devil on the opposite side only has one brigade, and their artillery is not enough compared to our martial arts team." ”

Liu Hong said here with a serious face and ordered: "Notice, order the front-line scouts to immediately determine the specific scope of the devil's artillery position, notify the artillery squadron, order the artillery squadron, prepare to launch an artillery bombardment, first give Lao Tzu to kill the devil's artillery, Lao Tzu wants to see, without artillery, what are these little devils going to play with us." ”

"Yes!" The soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

An infantry brigade of the devil is generally only equipped with two infantry guns, and there are also some mortars, whether it is an infantry gun or a mortar with a limited range, so the artillery position is very forward, so the scouts of the Eighth Route Army can easily detect the specific location of the devil's artillery position, and then pass the news to the artillery squadron.

Liang Yongsheng immediately took the artillery and began to measure the distance, determined the shelling of Zhuyuan, and prepared to launch an artillery bombardment.

Since the devils were equipped with light artillery, it was much easier to arrange, and soon the devils' artillery built a simple position, aimed at the position of the martial arts team, and prepared to launch an artillery attack.

A devil officer hurriedly ran to Takeda Shaozo and said loudly: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, the artillery unit is ready for battle and can provide artillery support at any time." ”

"Yo Xi!" Takeda Shaozo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Immediately order the artillery unit, aim at the position of the Chinese people, and prepare for ten minutes of artillery fire, and after the artillery preparation is over, the infantry squadron will immediately launch an attack and break through the position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop." ”

"Hello!" The devil officer hurriedly responded respectfully, turned around and hurried to deliver the order.

At this moment, a piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, and Takeda Shaoza, who was also an experienced commander, immediately heard the sound of a cannonball.

Takeda Shaozo couldn't help frowning, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said secretly: When did the artillery unit become so efficient, as soon as the order was issued on my side, the artillery had already been fired over there.

But soon Takeda Shaozo realized that something was wrong, because the whistling sound was getting closer and closer, Takeda Shaozo couldn't help but change his face greatly, looked up, and vaguely saw the cannonballs flying quickly, crossing the trajectory from the air, and quickly flying towards their rear.

Looking at the cannonballs whizzing overhead, Takeda Shaoza couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted, "It was the people of China who launched the shelling." ”

"Boom~! Rumble~! A violent explosion sounded, and one shell after another fell on the devil's artillery position, exploding violently, and immediately burst into flames.

Takeda Shaozo turned around in a panic and looked over, only to see that the artillery position not far away had been blown into a sea of fire by the shells of the Eighth Route Army, and the shells were still like hailstones, constantly smashing on the artillery positions of the devils.

In less than three minutes, the artillery position of the devil was completely destroyed, two infantry guns and 12 mortars were all blown up, some shells were also detonated, and the artillery unit of the devil suffered nearly 100 casualties, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"How so?" Takeda Shaozo shouted: "The Eighth Route Army actually used mountain artillery just now, and there is more than one? ”

"Hello!" A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied: "According to a rough estimate, Tubalu used at least four mountain guns, six infantry guns and more than a dozen mortars just now. ”

"Baga Ya Road! How could a group of dirt eight roads have such a powerful artillery fire. Takeda Shaoza said with a look of disbelief. As a captain of the Japanese army, Takeda Shaoza has also fought with the Eighth Route Army more than once, in his impression, the Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, some soldiers don't even have guns, and the artillery is even less pitiful, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, it is quite remarkable to have a few mortars, and the shells cannot be guaranteed.

The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side not only had mortars, infantry artillery, and even mountain artillery, but also a lot of them, Takeda Shaozo was deeply shocked, and even took the initiative to ignore the cruel fact that his artillery was completely destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

The devil officer replied cautiously: "Your Excellency, judging by your humble position, these cannons should be produced by our Great Japanese Empire. ”

Takeda Shaozo was even more furious when he heard this, what does this mean? This shows that these cannons and shells were all produced by the Japanese, and the Eighth Route Army captured them from them, and these shells produced by themselves are now falling on their own heads, how can Takeda Shaozo not be angry.
