Chapter 33 The Unsuccessful Japanese Artillery Fire
"Baga, open the cannon, open the cannon for me" Yamada's face was extremely distorted, the round of grenade sneak attacks of the Zhi Na people just now caused at least more than 20 casualties to the Japanese puppet army under his command, and the machine gun positions arranged in the field were also blocked by the Zhi Na people's sharpshooters, and the only way he could suppress the Zhi Na people now was artillery suppression. The Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms had been forced into the fields from Zhuangkou by a dense barrage of bullets, and Yamada was about to blast the despicable Shina to pieces with artillery fire.
"Boom" "Boom" As soon as Yamada's command was shouted, two explosions were heard in his ears, and at the same time, Yamada, who was carrying a command knife, was pushed straight by a breath and fell out. Although Yamada said that he was timid and afraid of death, he was an officer who led the army and had the experience of leading the troops in battle, and after being pushed out by the sudden anger, Yamada knew that he was attacked, and the two explosions just now must have been used by the attackers with long-range firepower such as mortars.
"Boom" "Boom" Before Yamada shouted and turned over and got up, there were two more explosions in his ears, and Yamada, who had just turned his head, only felt that in the smoke in front of him, there were several black shadows falling towards him. "Nani?" Yamada, who was holding the ground with both hands, couldn't care about his command knife, and quickly crawled to his right side with his hands and feet to dodge, and the black shadow in the smoke fell to the ground, and it was two 60 mortars that were overturned by the explosion. Yamada, who had escaped the catastrophe, hurriedly got up and looked at the slope behind him, the slope that had just been hit by artillery fire was filled with smoke, and all the gunners that Yamada had placed here were shrouded in smoke, and Yamada could not see their specific casualties for a while.
"Get up, coward, get up and fight back, find the gun position of the people of China, and be sure to suppress their artillery fire" Yamada, who was covered in dirt, dragged up the gunners lying on the ground one by one and ordered them to immediately organize artillery fire to return fire. Yamada was an officer with a lot of battlefield experience, and just by looking at the craters left by the bombardment of his artillery position, he had already judged that the people of China were only using 50 mm grenadiers made in the empire, and compared with the mortars and Type 92 infantry guns in his hands, the 50 mm grenadiers were a little thin.
Unlike the 92 rifles, the mortars had to be moved on small wheels, and the two Japanese gunners who were pushed up by Yamada carried the mortar, and the other carried the mortar's base and two shells to move immediately. When the mortars and the 92-step guns were arranged, Yamada chose this slope as the artillery position, considering that the smoke and ash produced when the cannon was ejected affected the artillerymen's line of sight, but now this slightly higher slope has become Yamada's death place.
Although the mortar is easier to move than the 92 rifle, it is much worse than the grenadier, and after the Japanese mortar began to return fire, the grenade hit by the grenadier also changed direction. The grenadiers, which weighed only a few kilograms, were played by the attackers quite unexpectedly, and before Yamada's 92 rifle could adjust the angle of the bombardment, Yamada's grenade had already blown up shallow craters all over the ground on the slope where they were.
"The grenadier goes to the left to attract their attention, and the sniper touches it from the right to kill them" vigorously spat out the dirt splashed into his mouth, Tang Lei, who had just dodged from the smoke of the explosion, had a cold face. Zhao Zhi, who was ordered by Zhao Zhi to stay in the rear team to block the retreat of the Japanese army, was a little worried about resisting the Japanese army, so he followed the mercenary team that attacked the Japanese artillery position to find out, saying that the reaction of the Japanese army was also fast, and he only received a few grenades and began to fire back with mortars, fortunately, his skills were still good, otherwise he would have been blown into meat by the artillery from the Japanese army just now.
Yamada's left side is an open field, and the right side is a slightly higher slope than them, Tang Lei chose Yamada to arrange snipers on their right side, just to occupy the advantage of the terrain and give full play to the power of sniper rifles. Tang Lei only has 2 grenadiers in his hands, this kind of firepower actually doesn't pose much threat to Yamada at all, as long as Yamada transfers a heavy machine gun back, according to the range of the heavy machine gun, it can definitely block the bombardment of the grenadiers. But the first round of bombardment of the grenadier almost killed Yamada, and Yamada, who was greatly annoyed, had already lost his bearings, completely forgetting to provide fire support to his subordinates who were blocking Zhuangkou, and only thinking about killing the people who almost killed him first.
Several of Tang Lei's most proficient mercenaries carried grenadiers to the open area on the left, and it was the tactics that mercenaries were used to changing places with one shot, but now they just replaced their guns with grenadiers. The strangeness of the attackers aroused Yamada's idea, but his whole mind fell on the rabbit-like attackers, unaware that danger was slowly approaching him.
Yamada was attracted to all the attention, which has to be said to be the credit of Tang Lei, these mercenaries who used grenadiers to harass the Japanese army to attract their attention were not wearing the American military uniforms of the mercenary troops, but the civilian uniforms snatched from the Wang family. Yamada is also an adjutant of the Japanese army, and it doesn't matter if he was attacked by the regular anti-Japanese forces, but now he is carrying grenadiers all over the mountains and playing hide and seek by himself, which is very annoyed by Yamada.
The four snipers who had been watered and rolled in the soil slowly sneaked down the slope to the right side of Yamada, and the outside of Dawangzhuang was almost all open land, and there were not many grass branches and shrubs at all, even if these four snipers looked like four mud eggs now, but after all, they were still a little out of tune with the surrounding environment. The maximum range of the four mercenary snipers under Tang Lei is only 400 meters, but they are still more than 500 meters away from Yamada, which means that the four snipers have to sneak for more than 100 meters to ensure that the bullets they shoot can accurately hit the target.
"Fire at the sky, you must hold their attention" Tang Lei couldn't care so much, the Japanese 92-step cannon had turned around again in the direction of Dawangzhuang, once the 92-step cannon fired, Mr. Zhuangzi and other brothers would definitely suffer casualties. The collective fire of dozens of submachine guns was enough to firmly attract Yamada's attention, but Tang Lei and the others were all lying on their stomachs in the field, covered with camouflage nets, which at first glance looked no different from the crops and seedlings in the field, and the artillerymen under Yamada couldn't figure out where the shooter was hiding for a while.
Taking advantage of the fact that Yamada and the others were attracted all the attention by Tang Lei's gunfire, the sniper carrying the sniper rifle straightened up and hurried all the way, and finally touched the predetermined position before Tang Lei's gunfire stopped. "First ** soldier, the biggest gun, be careful not to hit the shells" The snipers who rushed to the ground just breathed a sigh of relief, and then took their guns and aimed at Yamada and them, the 92-step gun was the biggest threat, so the snipers took the Japanese gunners surrounding the 92-step gun as the first target.
The slightly dull sound of the sniper rifle sounded on the slope, and the new sniper rifle equipped with a five-round magazine shortened the shooting time of the snipers, and as the gunfire rang out, Yamada's artillerymen fell to the ground one by one, of course, there were also guys who survived, and Yamada was one of them. Tang Lei and they shot into the sky in order to attract Yamada's attention, but they used submachine guns, automatic firepower is still a rare object in the anti-Japanese armed forces, if it is just a group of dirt eight roads it is impossible to equip so many automatic weapons, so Tang Lei They attracted Yamada's attention at the same time, but also aroused Yamada's vigilance.
According to the order of the snipers' target strikes, the enemy commander should be put first, but the current situation is that the opponent's gunner must be eliminated first, so Yamada, who is wearing the rank of adjutant, was not hit by a bullet in the first place. The artilleryman who was suddenly shot and fell to the ground was horrified Yamada, a lazy donkey rolled and hid behind the dead body, but the snipers fired the gun from 300 meters away, and Yamada, who dropped the telescope, could not find the exact location of the sniper with the naked eye, so he could only look around, but he could not see where the person who fired the shot was hiding.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang" The gunshots rang out non-stop, and Yamada's artillerymen fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the few guys who survived were like Yamada, using the corpses of their companions as cover to avoid the untraceable bullets. "When" Yamada reached out to retrieve his southern pistol, a bullet fired from a distance was hitting the 92 rifle not far from Yamada, and with a "day", the stray bullet that refracted on the 92 rifle grazed Yamada's head and flew over, and the frightened Yamada shrank his neck and hid back.
The snipers had completely controlled Yamada's artillery position, and the remaining few gunners and Yamada had been completely suppressed by them in the pile of corpses, and Tang Lei, who had been paying attention to the battle situation from a distance, waved his hand and touched the mercenaries with a wave of his hand. However, at a distance of a few hundred meters, Tang Lei, who was holding a submachine gun, ran all the way, and when the gunners around Yamada died and only the last three were left, Tang Lei's submachine gun finally hit Yamada's head. "Collapse" Tang Lei's mouth let out a simulated gunshot, looking at Yamada who was paralyzed under his feet, he withdrew his submachine gun with contempt, such a soft egg is not worth Lang's bullets.
Artillery cover during the Japanese infantry charge was an important part of the Japanese attack tactics, and Zhao Zhi knew that this group of Japanese soldiers had come with artillery before the ambush began, and there was also a 92-step gun. But the battle has lasted for 10 minutes from the beginning to now, and the Japanese artillery has not yet hit, not only Zhao Zhi was quite surprised, but even the Japanese soldiers who were suppressed in the fields of Zhuangkou were a little anxious. It wasn't until red smoke drifted on the slope in the distance that Zhao Zhi suddenly realized that Tang Lei had already taken the Japanese artillery position.
