At this time, the Japanese army of the three divisions was left with two field artillery brigades that were useless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Hu, commander of the heavy artillery division of the Liaodong Army, was clear, and the commanders of the three divisions of the Japanese army were also very clear.

Listening to the explosion of shells not far away and the screaming of shells crossing the sky overhead, the commanders of the three divisions of the Japanese army became embarrassed, and wondered whether they should use the last two field artillery battalions to counterattack in the face of the three mountain artillery battalions that had just been exposed by the Liaodong Army.

You must know that until this time, the heavy artillery in the hands of the Liaodong Army has not moved.

If it counterattacks, the Liaodong Army will definitely use heavy artillery to hit itself at this time, and it will lose its ability to counterattack because it has no artillery.

If they don't fight back, the four field artillery brigades that they have just exposed will definitely suffer heavy losses in this artillery battle.

"Baga, how can this be, doesn't it mean that the Liaodong Army basically has no heavy weapons, why are there so many mountain artillery, even heavy artillery!" The division commander who had not thought of a solution couldn't help but scold.

At this time, the two field artillery brigades that were blindly firing at the mortar position behind Liang Yu still had no intention of stopping.

As if they didn't want money, the shells were desperately shot into an open space that the Liaodong Army could not see.

When the squadron commander who commanded 20 mortars scolded the Japanese army for being a loser, Liang Yu from the mountain beam in front had already sent the news: the Japanese heavy machine gun position had been destroyed, and the artillery could cover the area 150 meters in front of the attack.

In less than half a minute, the firing angles of the twenty mortars were all adjusted.

After glancing at the ever-expanding area covered by Japanese artillery behind him, the squadron leader decisively ordered: "Ten shells are fired rapidly, and the position will be transferred immediately after the battle, it is no longer safe here!" ”

As soon as the shelling began, the Japanese attacking troops, deprived of heavy machine gun cover, were devastated.

There were rifles and light and heavy machine guns in front of them, and grenades that were constantly falling and exploding overhead.

Under this three-dimensional attack, hundreds of Japanese troops had no room to fight back at all, and were swept to the ground in pieces.

Soon, the infantry brigade had to leave the corpses on the ground and be chased back by a mass of bullets.

"Baga, what are the artillery for, the two field artillery brigades have not destroyed the artillery behind the Liaodong Army's blocking position after shelling for so long, I want to send them to the military court!" The division commander, who had lost most of the brigade again, couldn't help but curse loudly while being angry.

The commander of another division frowned, and reminded very timely: "My side also lost two infantry brigades, and this is still a loss with artillery support. According to the analysis of the artillery staff, this is all because the Liaodong Army is equipped with a new type of artillery that we have never seen before! ”

"I feel like this battle can't be fought anymore, it's like this with artillery support. If there is no artillery support, and the two field artillery wings are all wiped out, then we can only be passively beaten in front of the Liaodong Army! ”

"We don't know much about the Liaodong Army, I suggest stopping immediately and getting out of contact with the Liaodong Army,"

Although the commanders of the other two divisions were unwilling, they could only agree.

Because their opponent, the Liaodong Army, is too mysterious, and all kinds of means are endless. Moreover, the losses of their two divisions were not small, one division and three infantry brigades were disabled, one division and one brigade were completely wiped out, and one brigade was disabled.

Such battle damage is not something they can bear, and only retreat is their wisest choice.

As soon as the Japanese retreated, the artillery battle ended.

Although the Japanese army paid a lot of costs for this, the main forces of the three divisions were preserved after all.

Of course, every move of the Japanese army did not escape the eyes of the reconnaissance force of the Liaodong Army, and according to the reconnaissance situation, Yang Xingguo immediately judged that the Japanese army was about to retreat.

"The Japanese army is too indiscriminate, so they retreated after losing as many people as they wanted, and the tide of the battle reversed too quickly!" Sun Liechen, who also made a judgment, couldn't help but complain.

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "It's not that the Japanese army didn't fight, it's that they are too smart." ”

"However, they are too naïve to want to retreat as soon as they take advantage. If you want to retreat from under our noses, you have to see if they have that life. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo's body actually exuded a murderous aura full of chill.

Facing Sun Liechen, he ordered: "Tell the two division commanders in front of you to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army immediately, and the special operations detachment will use mortars to cooperate with them to counterattack!" ”

"Also, in the counterattack, the two divisions must fight steadily and steadily to avoid being surrounded by the Japanese counter-encirclement."

"Cavalry division, follow behind the Japanese counterattack troops, once the Japanese army really begins to retreat, immediately pursue, kill as many as you can."

Although the Japanese army showed signs of retreating, several positions that came into contact with the Liaodong Army were still heavily armed.

Liang Yu's headquarters of the 5th Division and 1st Regiment on the defensive front, continuous battles have already severely damaged several infantry brigades of the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. So, despite the fact that the fighting had stopped, the cautious Japanese still placed a reinforcement wing opposite the regiment.

As an old man who grew up with Yang Xingguo, Liang Yu is not lacking in courage at all. Therefore, as soon as he received the counterattack order from the division commander Yuan Lei, Liang Yu called the captain of the special operations detachment that had been cooperating with him in the back.

Although the mortars only cooperated with him in a few blocking battles, Liang Yu had already realized that the mortars would also play a big role in the next counterattack.

Sure enough, as soon as Liang Yu gave the squadron leader the order to counterattack, the squadron leader made a promise to Yuan Lei.

"Commander Yuan, in the next counterattack, I will use mortars to cover you all the way to rush fifty meters in front of the Japanese formation. After the shelling stopped, you should use the fastest speed, while the Japanese troops have not yet reacted, quickly rush to 30 or 40 meters in front of the formation, and then use grenades to greet the Japanese positions, and suddenly stunned the Japanese troops on the positions, and there is no room for retaliation. ”

"Fifty meters of the mortar will not be accidentally injured?" Liang Yu directly asked a question that he was most worried about.

The squadron leader shook his head and affirmed: "Don't be afraid, at a distance of fifty meters, the shells will definitely not hurt your own people." If it were our special operations detachment, it would rush to 30 meters in front of the enemy's position under the cover of artillery fire, and greet the enemy with grenades as soon as the shelling was over, without giving the enemy any respite. ”

Liang Yu has grown up step by step from the battlefield and knows very well the importance of shortening the offensive distance in the attack.

After making sure that the other party was not joking, Liang Yu immediately decided: "Since this is the case, then you will use mortars to send us forty meters in front of the Japanese formation, only in this way can the casualties of the troops be reduced to a minimum!" ”

"Captain Liang, you've really decided!" The squadron leader asked with a calm face.

After all, this is the first attempt for ordinary infantry, and although the special combat team has already fought many times and confirmed the feasibility of this method of operation and the excellent performance of the mortar, the squadron leader still asks more.

Liang Yu did not hesitate, and directly affirmed: "The mortar was brought by the commander, I believe in the commander, and I believe in your special operations detachment." (To be continued.) )
