Wang Ping, who was in a hurry, immediately ordered: "Let the troops rush faster, shoot while rushing, and specialize in fighting the little devils who explode artillery." If it's late, everything on the highway will be blown up by the little devils! ”

"Yes, Commander! Guard platoon, follow me! Zeng Quan, the chief of staff, was also very anxious, and rushed to the battlefield with a guard platoon.

"Shoot, there are devils there who want to blow up the cannon, shoot quickly, kill them!" In the middle of the attacking troops of the Independent Regiment, they saw three devil soldiers surrounding a field gun and were ready to throw grenades into the barrel. The platoon commander was clever, beckoned the machine gunners around him to shoot there.

"Da da da ......" a shuttle of bullets passed, and countless sparks were splashed out instantly when the bullets hit the gun, and the three devils were also sieveed by the bullets that suddenly swept over.

"Boom!" The grenade that had not had time to be thrown into the barrel exploded directly in the devil's hand, and one of the devil's arms was blown into minced meat in an instant.

"There are devils out there who want to blow up cannons, shoot quickly!" Such voices rang out in many places on the battlefield.

A lot of artillery and truckloads of weapons and ammunition were preserved from the bullets fired by the Separate Regiment.

But even so, nearly half of the artillery and a third of the supplies and ammunition on the road were still bombed.

"Fence up the devils and prepare to attack!" With so much equipment and ammunition blown up by devils under his nose, Wang Ping's anger can be imagined. directly took the devil hiding in the mountain as his own target, and then roared and ordered.

"Artillery battalion commander Zhang Bing, bring all your people up, and give me all the guns that can be used on the road. There are no guns and ten shells, let the devils on the mountain taste the taste of being bombed first! ”

"Zhang Yunshan, I will give you the guard company and the reconnaissance platoon, touch the tunnel reserved by the engineer company to the top of the mountain, give the devil a center to bloom, and I will launch an attack below to cover you. Remember to bring more grenades and grenades, and if you don't have enough on you, you can replenish them from the ammunition of the captured devils. In any case, I will eat these devils today and avenge the sacrificed soldiers! ”

After going up the mountain, Tanabe Nakasa did not directly occupy the top of the mountain.

As the artillery commander, Tanabe knew very well that if the Eighth Route Army wanted to fire artillery before launching an attack, the top of the mountain would definitely be the focus of the artillery.

In the case of not repairing the underground headquarters in advance, guarding the top of the mountain to command the battle is to be bombed, and there is no difference between sending it to death. It's better to stay on the mountainside and be with the troops, but it's safer.

Therefore, Tanabe only put a few observation posts on the top of the mountain, helping himself to keep an eye on the surrounding situation, and did not send even a single soldier to the top of the mountain.

"Tanabe-kun, I took a look just now, and there are more than a thousand imperial troops who have successfully retreated to the mountain, and everyone has guns, and the ammunition is quite sufficient!" The captain of the baggage team, who now volunteered to become Tanabe Nakasa's deputy, hurriedly walked to Tanabe's side, and reported with a happy face.

"Yo Xi!" Tanabe, who commanded the troops to fight positional battles for the first time, breathed a sigh of relief.

But it didn't take long for Tanabe's brow to furrow again.

At this time, because the Japanese army detonated a lot of weapons and ammunition, there were still many raging fires on the road.

With the help of these fires, Tanaka, who was holding a telescope, could clearly see that there were still nearly ten mountain artillery pieces on the road that had not been bombed, and with the addition of infantry guns, the total number exceeded twenty.

And the Eighth Route Army, which occupied the road, was trying to push these artillery, so that the muzzle of the artillery was aimed at the hill where it was fortified.

If these cannons are allowed to open fire, and there are no fortifications on the hill yet, everyone is exposed to artillery fire.

Even if he still had more than 1,000 people in his hands, he would not be able to withstand the repeated shelling of more than 20 mountain artillery.

"We must find a way to knock out these mountain artillery, and we can't let the Eighth Route Army open fire, otherwise all of us will be blown to minced meat!" An unwavering thought immediately appeared in Tanabe's mind. Then he stared at the captain of the baggage brigade and asked.

"What about heavy weapons? Did you bring heavy weapons with you! ”

"There are a lot of light machine guns, more than thirty of them! There were twelve heavy machine guns and twenty grenadiers. The mortars were too heavy, so only five were brought up! However, there were very few shells, only five boxes, and ten shells without a cannon! The captain of the baggage immediately told the number he knew.

"Yaga! How can this heavy weapon be enough! Tanabe Nakasa shouted with anger and a look of grievance.

......As soon as he finished speaking, the screaming sound of a cannonball that made Tanabe instantly change color reached his ears.

"Baga, it's artillery bombardment, the Eighth Route Army has opened fire, hide quickly!"

The violent explosion of "boom boom boom ......" quickly drowned out all the sounds on the battlefield, and many soldiers were caught off guard by the smashed shells, and then were instantly blown into minced meat.

Of course, more soldiers were blown up or blown over, and then died in an instant.

Soon, the hill was shrouded in artillery fire.

In the violent explosion, the Japanese troops on the hill fell directly into chaos.

Wang Ping took the opportunity to order the troops to launch an attack on the mountain.

Of course, it's not really an offense, it's just that the guns go off and then people keep shouting slogans in the back.

Anyway, the mountains were covered with smoke from the explosion, and the Japanese army didn't know about it under the cover of night.

However, after the fluttering bullets flew over, Tanabe Nakasa took it seriously and immediately ordered the troops to counterattack, staring at the artillery fire to counterattack.

At this moment, the Japanese troops on the mountain all focused their eyes on the foot of the mountain, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would rush up.

"Up, there are only a few devil observation posts on the top of the mountain, and the reconnaissance platoon will kill them!" At the exit of the mountaintop tunnel, with the help of the firelight on the mountainside, Zhang Yunshan directly took in the top of the mountain, and several devil observation posts could also see it clearly.

Because the eyes of several devil observation posts were all around, the explosions that kept ringing in their ears drowned out a lot of sounds to a certain extent.

The eight fighters of the reconnaissance platoon felt out of the tunnel, and they did not find it.

By the time they realized the danger, several of them had stabbed cold bayonets in their hearts.

Despite the fact that the whole operation produced a lot of movement, under the cover of artillery fire, no one was alarmed.

Ten shells from the cannon were fired in less than two minutes.

The chaotic devils on the mountainside slowly stabilized, and shot desperately at the foot of the mountain to block the so-called Eighth Route Army attacking troops. There were already as many as 100 warriors digging out of the tunnel at the top of the mountain.

In addition to a dozen machine gunners with a machine gun in each hand, the other fighters all held a grenade in their hands, and many others held a grenade in one hand and a Mauser pistol in the other.

"I touched the back of the devil on the mountainside, and when I reached the range of the grenade, I smashed it with the grenade. As long as the devils don't rout, keep smashing grenades, smash them until they collapse and then charge, beat the water dogs, and destroy them! Staring at the devils who kept shooting on the mountainside, Zhang Yunshan ordered in anticipation.

Last night's raid was also commanded by him, and seeing the Japanese army suffering heavy casualties under the attack of the thunderstorm, Zhang Yunshan was particularly happy and relieved.

Therefore, he is looking forward to the picture of the devil facing the thunderstorm for a while.

Then he personally took out a grenade, held it in his hand, and smashed it at the devil at any time.
