Chapter 81: Cannon fire
"This is the gunner, the ammunition man you picked out?" Looking at the puppet army in front of him with a serious face and a straight body, Gao Quan also sighed a little in his heart. Although the devils deprived these people of their self-esteem, they also taught them basic military skills. In this era of war, mastering certain military skills means having a greater chance of survival. The vast majority of these dozens of people should have never seen mortars before they became puppet soldiers, and now no matter what the technology is, at least they are already artillerymen, and Gao Quan no longer needs to train them as recruits from scratch.
"Report to the sir, these people are all gunners and ammunition men of the artillery company!" The puppet army company commander stood more straight, and his head was sweating when he spoke, which made him frightened. Among the people he chose were not only gunners and ammunitionmen, but also a dozen porters and coachmen, and it took a lot of courage to help these people cover up.
"Yes, the big guys are all good!" Gao Quan looked at these people and nodded, no matter what the situation, it is always wrong to praise two sentences before letting others work, "Go, take your people and carry these cannons and shells to that high ground." From now on, you are not a puppet army, but a soldier of the 500th Army of the National Army! Our army is fighting the Japanese army and is in dire need of artillery support! Go to that high ground, use your cannons to support your allies, and fire at the devils! ”
"Yes!" The artillery company commander saluted excitedly, turned around and gave the order loudly: "All of them, bring weapons and ammunition, run forward at 45 degrees to the left of the target, and run forward on the high ground at 150 meters!" ”
This puppet army company commander doesn't look good, his military literacy is not low, and he can actually distinguish the distance between the high ground and his feet just by visual inspection, this kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can master, Gao Quan's expectations for this puppet army company commander are a few points higher.
"Junzuo, will our regiment also follow up to that high ground?" Jin Feilong saw that Gao Quan seemed to care very much about these puppet soldiers, so he came over and asked the military seat if he had moved the whole regiment to the nameless height.
"The whole regiment went to the high ground? It doesn't take that many people! Gao Quan knew that Jin Feilong was still concerned about his safety, "Let's take your regimental headquarters and guards, and follow the artillery to the 150 Heights to have a look, and the rest of the troops will take prisoners and continue to attack the devils!" The artillery company commander visually measured the distance of the high ground to 150 meters, and Gao Quan casually named the high ground 150 Heights.
"Yes!" Those who disobey Shangguan in person will not end well, Jin Feilong has rich social experience, of course he will not make such a low-level mistake, although he is not too in favor of Gao Quan's proposal, but when he saw that Junzao was staring at him without blinking, he still agreed without thinking about it. Seeing Gao Quan nodding at him with a smile, Jin Feilong knew that he had done the right thing just now.
"Bajin, Xiaoqiang, and Heipi, lead your troops to attack the devil in three ways! Blackskin was in charge of the puppet captives. "After the puppet army battalion commander selected more than fifty artillerymen, there are almost half of the puppet army squatting underground, of course these people can't be released, Jin Feilong has to arrange a capable general to watch them, find a time to educate them, these people are all soldiers in his 501st regiment!
After arranging the combat mission of the troops, Jin Feilong shot all the reserves and logistics personnel at hand. There is a platoon of guards brought by Gao Quan, and Jin Feilong also has a guard platoon at hand, and the two platoons take care of the puppet artillery of the fifty or so who have just returned to Shun, and the number is a little too small, and the dozens of non-combatants at the regiment headquarters will have to come in handy at this time.
The sound of gunfire in the distance was incessant, and there were sparse big-leaved poplars in the knee-deep grass, and low shrubs such as jujube and prickly pear were mixed in, and the group walked up the winding path. Maybe it was because of the excitement, the puppet army was advancing quite fast, and Gao Quan took Jin Feilong and the others not far behind.
Although Gao Quan gave it a name of one hundred and fifty zeros, in fact, it would be good for this small highland to have seventy or eighty meters, and the altitude of one hundred and fifty meters has caught up with a small mountain, and this small highland is obviously far behind. In less than half an hour, the troops reached the top of the mountain, and the commander of the puppet army battalion quickly arranged artillery positions. Looking at this kid's busy appearance, it seems that he has been specially trained as an artilleryman.
"Fire!" The artillery company commander waved his small flag, and with a small sound, one after another large or small shells flew into the sky. Whether it is a mortar or a grenadier, the firing sound is not loud, compared to the firing movement of the 500 Army Artillery Regiment, it can be regarded as quite quiet and comfortable here.
Gao Quan looked through the lens of the telescope and watched with his own eyes as the shells exploded in the group of devils, and the devils who were fighting with our army were blown up to fly around with one arm in the east and one thigh in the west. A catastrophe fell from the sky, and the devils who were suddenly attacked were suddenly in chaos!
The devil commander brandished his command knife and shouted desperately, trying to stabilize the formation. The devils were also trying to regroup according to the commander's orders, but the Chinese army opposite them obviously did not intend to give them time to calmly complete the assembly. A rain of bullets poured down all over the place, and the shells hit indiscriminately regardless of the number of people.
A mortar shell hit, and one of the devil squads who was shooting was killed and injured at that time, and the rest of the devils saw that things were not good, and immediately scattered around, each looking for cover and hiding. As soon as I hid here, I heard the shouts of His Excellency Shaozuo in my ears. The devils hesitated for a moment, but the first-class soldier who was the squad leader still resolutely carried out the commander's order, jumped out first, waved two 38 covers in the open space, and saw that there was nothing wrong, and immediately began to shout loudly, shouting at the survivors in the squad to come out and assemble quickly.
The devils stretched out their heads, and after some hesitation, two more devils finally ran out. "Come out! Hurry up and come out, Shao Zuo shouted to stand in line! The squad leader shouted at the three men who were still hiding behind the trees and refused to come out to gather.
The three devils looked at each other, gritted their teeth and became fierce, and slowly walked out with their bodies bowed.
"Yaga, hurry up! Crawl slowly like a turtle and I'll shoot you right now!" The squad leader shook the 38 big cover in his hand. The three Japanese soldiers walked a little faster, and the squad leader grinned in satisfaction.
"Whoosh!" Several bullets that suddenly flew flew past the squad leader's body. The two devil soldiers who came out first were visiting the wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground howling, and the sudden bullet bypassed the lucky squad leader and hit these two unlucky ghosts who were so unlucky that they were home!
There were two screams, and the two devils were hit by more than one bullet each, and the two of them just screamed and lay down on the ground and died. The wounded, who were still being comforted by them just now, immediately stopped wailing. Compared to the two who were killed on the spot, they seemed to be quite lucky.
