Chapter 558: Ninety-Seven Mortar

Shijiashan, the captain of the Japanese infantry squadron halfway up the mountainside, saw a large number of Chinese officers and soldiers begin to attack the position of the machine gun brigade, and the expression on his face became a little panicked.

He immediately concentrated all the devil soldiers of his infantry squadron on the position south of Shijiashan, and he drew light machine guns to block all the roads up the mountain, and at the same time, the captain squadron leader did not dare to delay in the slightest, and he immediately sent a signal corps to report the situation here to Fukuda Hisae.

The battle at the foot of the mountain had begun to gradually come to an end, and Huang Guohua began to climb along the road with more than a hundred soldiers, who were in a hurry and planned to directly conquer the Japanese artillery position.

"Bang bang." More than a dozen fighters who were climbing were strafed by Japanese light machine gun fire, and seven or eight of these dozen fighters were hit by bullets on the spot, and their bodies began to slide down the hillside.

At this time, the sniper squad had already begun to come to the bottom of the mountain, and Sun Weiguo and dozens of guards also solved the ghost soldiers of the machine gun brigade.

Looking at a Type 92 heavy machine gun placed on the ground, and looking at the boxes of bullets next to the heavy machine gun, the soldiers' eyes became bright.

The Japanese Army's Independent Machine Gun Brigade had three machine gun squadrons and were armed with 36 Type 92 heavy machine guns, which was enough for an infantry wing.

Now that the devil soldiers of the machine gun brigade have been killed, these heavy machine guns have naturally become Sun Weiguo's trophies, Sun Weiguo did not hesitate, he immediately asked the soldiers to set up the heavy machine guns, and a 92-type heavy machine gun began to be erected, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the position of the devil soldiers halfway up the mountain.

The fighters of the sniper squad also began to hide, holding rifles, aiming at the devil soldiers, and constantly pulling the trigger.

At this time, there were more than 300 elite veterans of the guard battalion of the new second brigade and the guard company of the first regiment, and after this battle, there were 85 people who died alone, and there were dozens of wounded.

Sun Weiguo ignored the bleeding wound, he pulled the trigger, and the bullets quickly hit the devil soldiers on the halfway mountainside position.

The thirty-six heavy machine guns of the Japanese machine gun brigade were organized by Sun Weiguo to have six of them, after all, not all soldiers can shoot heavy machine guns.

But these six heavy machine guns kept firing bullets, and the bullets like rain continued to cover the Japanese troops, which could easily suppress the Japanese firepower.

What's more, there were sharpshooters and snipers in the sniper team to shoot accurately, and the devil soldiers on the mountainside began to be suppressed, and Huang Guohua immediately rushed forward with the soldiers.

The Japanese troops were powerless to stop the charge of the fighters, and the fighters with Thomson submachine guns covered each other as they quickly advanced towards the hill.

ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, EIGHT JAPANESE 105MM CANNONS CONTINUED TO FIRE, AND THE SQUADRON LEADER KUEI FUKUDA HANDED OVER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTING THE SHOOTING TO THE SQUADRON LEADERS, AND HE ALWAYS HELD A TELESCOPE TO OBSERVE THE BATTLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MOUNTAIN.

When the troops of the New Second Brigade overcame the fire point of the machine gun brigade, Fukuda Hisaei's face began to become solemn, and he already realized that he might be in danger here.

However, after all, Fukuda Hisaei is an officer who has experienced the test of war, and while he began to arm the personnel of the artillery brigade, he quickly sent a telegram to the 25 brigade for help, and at the same time he had begun to contact the aviation troops, preparing for the aviation to rush to help in the war.

After making a series of reactions, Hisaei Fukuda held up the binoculars to observe the battle at the bottom of the mountain, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

The infantry squadron stationed halfway up the mountain suffered heavy losses, and it was only a matter of time before their positions were completely captured, and now Fukuda Hisaei could only hope that Amaterasu would bless the infantry squadron halfway up the mountain to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

"Captain, the machine gun brigade sent personnel to contact us before, according to the judgment of the second lieutenant of the machine gun brigade Fukui Naga, it was Sun Weiguo's new second brigade unit that attacked us, and Sun Weiguo is likely to personally command the operation, Second Lieutenant Fukui Naga said that there is a young man in the Chinese army who has always been fighting on the front line, and this young man is very likely to be Sun Weiguo."

While Hisaei Fukuda was holding a telescope to observe the battle at Yamashita, a Japanese lieutenant came to him and reported.

After hearing the Japanese lieutenant's report, the expression on Fukuda's face became solemn, and his telescope began to lock on a young man who was controlling heavy machine gun fire.

This young man was wearing a broken gray military cap, and he was wearing a very ordinary gray military uniform, but Fukuda Jiurong relied on his own feelings, and he felt that this young man must be Sun Weiguo.

People who wear the same clothes, but have different positions, will completely give people different feelings, and Fukuda Jiurong feels that Sun Weiguo is unusual.

"Immediately set up the Type 96 mortar at the brigade headquarters." Hisaei Fukuda immediately gave the order.

FUKUDA KUEI'S ARTILLERY BRIGADE IS A FIELD HEAVY ARTILLERY BRIGADE, EQUIPPED WITH THE MOST ADVANCED 92 105MM CANNON, ACCORDING TO COMMON SENSE, SUCH AN ARTILLERY BRIGADE, THERE WILL BE NO OTHER ARTILLERY, BUT THIS 96 150MM MORTAR WAS AWARDED TO FUKUDA KUEI BY THE JAPANESE LAND MINISTER SUGIYAMA MOTO, BECAUSE IN THE 1937 OPERATION, FUKUDA KUEI'S ARTILLERY BRIGADE WAS A LOT OF COMBAT ACHIEVEMENTS.

For the 1st Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery, this mortar is a supreme honor, and this honor belongs not only to Hisaei Fukuda, but also to the entire heavy artillery brigade.

This mortar awarded by Japanese Minister Sugiyama Moto, Fukuda Hisei carried it with him, and he regarded this mortar as a treasure, and he would not use it in normal times.

But now, knowing that the time had come to add even greater honor to this mortar, the mortar was immediately erected, and Hisaei Fukuda personally took aim.

THE 105MM CANNON CANNOT SHOOT AT CLOSE RANGE, BUT THIS MORTAR CAN, AFTER ADJUSTING THE FIRING ANGLE, THE ARTILLERYMAN ON THE SIDE IMMEDIATELY PUT A GRENADE INTO THE BARREL, FUKUDA KUEI DID NOT HESITATE, HE IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE FIRING CORD, AND THE GRENADE WAS IMMEDIATELY SHOT OUT.

The grenade crossed the air and fell directly towards Sun Weiguo's location, and with a "boom", the grenade fell at a distance of twenty meters away from Sun Weiguo's side, and the grenade missed.

Although Hisaei Fukuda is an artilleryman, he is an artillery soldier who specializes in controlling heavy artillery, like this mortar, although he can shoot and aim, but he cannot be as handy as controlling heavy artillery, not to mention that even in a skilled veteran, there is no guarantee that every time a shell is fired, it will accurately hit the target.

The first grenade missed, Fukuda Hisaei did not panic, he adjusted the angle again, and he shouted loudly: "Reload the grenade." ”

The gunner immediately loaded the grenade into the barrel, Fukuda Jiurong glanced at Sun Weiguo who was in a cloud of gunsmoke, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that even if the first shell missed, it would also bring damage to Sun Weiguo, and the second shell, Fukuda Jiurong planned to directly blow Sun Weiguo into minced meat.
