Chapter 567: Catch up and hurt him

Huo Xiaoshan lay quietly in the woods on the top of the mountain, and in the telescope lens, the retreating Japanese army was crossing a river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The river is called the Weiyang River, which is a river that is not big or small, and the Japanese army has built a temporary pontoon bridge on it.

The Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms walked over the pontoon bridge like a long snake, but because there was only one pontoon bridge, affected by the ability to pass, there were still a large number of soldiers waiting to get on the bridge at this end of the pontoon bridge.

"What a chance!" Huo Xiaoshan muttered to himself, then turned his head to the little stone lock who followed him and said, "Flag language, the distance in a straight line is about one thousand one hundred and forty meters, and the direction is one o'clock, let the fat man test fire a cannonball." ”

Then Huo Xiaoshan no longer paid attention to the flag notice of Xiaoshi lock to the mountain behind him, but continued to observe the movement of the Japanese army.

The straight-line distance that Huo Xiaoshan said refers to the straight-line distance between the hill behind him and the Japanese army, which has already been agreed with Zheng Youjian when the direct battalion discussed specific tactics.

Huo Xiaoshan was responsible for the calculation of the specific distance, and the shooting of Zhuyuan was also determined by Huo Xiaoshan's observation post, and Zheng Youjian and his grenadiers were only responsible for shooting.

To tell the truth, the Japanese army was in good order, and this time their attempt to attack Changsha was a battle of voluntary withdrawal, and the strategic points on the retreat route were also in the hands of the Japanese army, not as if they were defeated by the national army overnight in the victory of Wanjialing.

But it only makes sense to say that these are large forces of the Chinese army, after all, the large forces of the Chinese army are still being blocked by the Japanese covering forces.

And these are of little meaning to Huo Xiaoshan, he doesn't care whether the Japanese army's retreat order is good or not, he is here to hurt the Japanese army.

And his ultimate goal in beating the Japanese army was to use it as bait to fish out the special combat team of Nagumo Shinobi.

At this time, to be precise, the battalion had infiltrated into the retreating Japanese army.

And Huo Xiaoshan's main purpose in doing this this time was for Nanyun Shinobi.

There are as many trees in the mountains, and there are as many people as there are on both sides of the battle in the battle, Huo Xiaoshan doesn't have the ability to find out the special combat team of Nanyun Shinobu among the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

So he used this trick to fight the cattle across the mountain, and bombarded the cattle of the Japanese army across his own mountain.

Fighting cattle across the mountains is just a means, knocking on the mountains and shaking the tiger is the goal, he wants to hurt the Japanese army, and then force Nagumo Shinobu out.

In view of the fact that the Japanese army is now very strict against the sneak attack of the Chinese army, especially the battalion directly under it, Huo Xiaoshan came up with such a move.

He only led a few people to the front, but Zheng Youjian and his grenadiers were on the hill behind him.

Huo Xiaoshan was responsible for the observation post and firing Zhu Yuan, and Zheng Youjian was responsible for attacking with mortars in the rear.

The grenadiers are not daring to use the grenadiers at least for now, and the sneak attack is only a sneak attack after all, and if they dare to launch an attack on the well-organized Japanese army within a few hundred meters, then the Japanese army, who has already regarded their unit as a thorn in the flesh, will devour them alive.

Mortars, on the other hand, have a long range, more than three miles, which is enough to make it impossible for the Japanese to lock on to the specific location of the sneak attackers at a short distance, thus creating the most favorable conditions for them to escape.

In order to realize this idea, catching up with the Japanese army with the three mortars captured by Zheng Youjian also made the direct battalion spend a lot of effort.

This Japanese-style mortar weighs about 90 pounds, and if it is in good road conditions, it is not a big problem to bring these two guns, but now there is mud everywhere, and the marching speed must be faster than the Japanese army in order to bite the tail of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the strong men of the directly subordinate battalion took turns to go into battle, and the strong men such as Hanzi and Mangman were the new force that moved forward quickly with mortars on their backs.

Two minutes later, the sound of mortar fire was heard on the hill behind Huo Xiaoshan.

In the binoculars, Huo Xiaoshan saw that the shell exploded by the river, and a Japanese soldier did not blow it up, but it scared the Japanese soldiers on the shore to the ground.

After all, all artillery, even if it is a curved gun with the closest range like the Japanese mortars they are using, the target may be out of the line of sight of the gunner, which also reflects the importance of the artillery observation post.

"0.5 degrees to the left, 50 meters further forward." Huo Xiaoshan then asked Xiao Shisuo to notify the flag bearer to raise the flag and notify Zheng Youjian in the rear.

From Huo Xiaoshan's perspective at this time, the Japanese troops in the telescope obviously also discovered that this shell was just a test shot by the Chinese army, and some Japanese soldiers had already climbed up from the ground under the leadership of the officer and rushed towards Huo Xiaoshan's direction.

A minute later, another shell flew from the back of Huo Xiaoshan's head, but this time it was accurately exploded into the Weiyang River, and the shell landed next to the pontoon bridge.

"Hit the target, all four rounds of salvos! Then retreat according to the predetermined plan. Huo Xiaoshan ordered again.

As far as the artillery is concerned, the error that the projectile hit point is close to the target but does not hit completely is completely negligible, after all, the artillery carries out surface strikes rather than point strikes accurate to the head.

A minute later, the sound of the "tom tom" cannon sounded, and three mortar shells smashed into the place very close to the pontoon bridge, and the devil in the telescope fell from the pontoon bridge like a dumpling in the water column and air waves raised by the mortar.

"This luck, why didn't you blow up the bridge?!" Shen Chong airway, who was also observing the situation of the Japanese army with a telescope.

It's infuriating to think about it, and none of the three shells hit the bridge right on.

Although even if the bridge was blown up, it would not be able to stop the retreating Japanese troops for long, but the kind of psychological deterrence given to the enemy was absolutely different.

Before Shen Chong's words fell, three more cannons rang out behind him, and this time these three shells all exploded on the pontoon bridge accurately!

So the pontoon bridge that had been improvised by logging from small boats broke! Sawdust flew and the Japanese army fell into the water, like a long worm on the water that was slashed from the middle.

"Well, good job fat!" Shen Chong excitedly slammed his fist against the grass below him.

The excitement made the physical fatigue of the observation posts on the mountain much less due to the eagerness to catch up with the Japanese army.

Two more rounds of shelling followed to completely cut off the Japanese temporary pontoon bridge, and a small boat that was used as a support point for the pontoon bridge on the water was unharmed by the artillery fire, but it was blown off from the wooden planks on the bridge, just like a small boat in a dream drifting alone to the lower reaches of the river.

Huo Xiaoshan also smiled, this blockade added too well to the Japanese army.

To put it bluntly, the psychological blow to the Japanese army in this way of fighting is far greater than the blow to the actual combat effectiveness.

In other words, this is a disgusting way of playing, I just disgust you, I just don't let you retreat calmly, that is, when you retreat, you are also thinking about whether the Chinese army will catch up and annihilate yourself because the bridge is broken and then repaired.

After four rounds of shelling, there was no sound, and it was obvious that Zheng Youjian and the others had begun to move, and at this time, the Japanese troops who had been searched from the bank of the river were only a few hundred meters away from Huo Xiaoshan.

"This time it's our turn to give him two more hits!" Huo Xiaoshan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Shen Chong applauded.

So, Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong also picked up the two grenadiers placed beside them, and tilted the canisters towards the Japanese soldiers who were already visible to the naked eye.

The small stone lock and small stone, who temporarily acted as ammunition operators, also smiled and sent two projectiles into the bottom of the grenadier canister.

In the smoke and dust of the explosion of the shooting, the Japanese soldier who searched for the plaster flag on the bayonet fell down.

Then, Huo Xiaoshan and the four of them didn't shoot the second grenadier and began to evacuate quickly, and they didn't even want the two grenadiers!
