The temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, the brigade commander, was also frightened by the sudden explosion, and immediately arranged for someone to check the situation.

No sooner had the troops sent out had left than an officer rushed in, panting and reporting.

"General, it's heavy artillery, and Tubalu is equipped with heavy artillery!"

"The hilltop heights to the northeast of us are being attacked by heavy artillery from Tubalu, and the troops who have just been reinforced have suffered heavy losses, so we ask for reinforcements!"

After the report, before the brigade commander could speak, another second lieutenant rushed in.

"General, the field artillery brigade was shelled by heavy artillery of the Tuba Road and suffered heavy losses!"

"Tubalu used at least one company of heavy mortars, and the first round of shelling destroyed one of our field artillery pieces on the spot! A head-on confrontation with the field artillery brigade is certainly not an opponent, and our captain has already ordered the troops to withdraw from the artillery positions! ”

"Yaga, your captain is a coward, and he is not worthy of being an officer of the Imperial Japanese Army!" The opponent gave up his position as soon as he fired a round of shells, and he didn't even have the courage to confront, which was an absolute shame in the eyes of the brigade commander, and the shame of the imperial army, which was put on any commander and was furious.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is a lesson!" The artillery lieutenant lowered his head and did not dare to say a word of rebuttal.

The chief of staff relieved the siege at the right time and said: "It is indeed inappropriate for the general to calm his anger and retreat without counterattacking." However, at least he kept more than a hundred elite Imperial gunners. Having served as an artilleryman, he knows the power of heavy mortars! ”

"Although it is inferior to heavy howitzers of the same caliber, it has an advantage, the rate of fire is fast, the artillery is light, and it is convenient for us to transfer."

"In short-range combat, the field artillery we are equipped with is indeed no match for heavy mortars."

"Even if the field artillery brigade sticks to its position and continues to fight, it will end up with the annihilation of the entire army. In that case, it is better to withdraw the gunners. As long as there are gunners alive and equipment, the field artillery brigade will be able to form combat effectiveness at any time! ”

The brigade commander's face looked a lot better, but he didn't last too long before staring at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically.

"We must find a way to knock out the heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the heavy artillery is too powerful. As long as the heavy artillery is not destroyed, our warriors can be torn to pieces by shells at any time! ”

"Arrange it immediately!" The chief of staff said!

"Heavy mortars are not without weaknesses, and the biggest weakness is that they have a short range, and as long as we find the right opportunity, the medium mortars we are equipped with can fire at them and destroy them!"

As a producer of 120-mm password heavy mortars, Wang Ping is certainly aware of the shortcomings of mortars.

Therefore, when giving the order, Wang Ping specifically emphasized that the number of shells fired by a mortar at the same place should not exceed five. Even if the Japanese were going to use mortars to counterattack, it would be difficult to locate the specific location of the heavy mortars.

Except, of course, after the devil plane came during the day. The speed of the plane is too fast, and it can stare at ground targets and chase after them.

Even if each mortar fires only three shells, it is impossible to escape the pursuit of the planes in the sky.

Under the cover of Wang Ping's two heavy artillery companies, it took only half an hour for the detachment to break through the last line of defense of the Japanese army and enter the road.

The communications staff officer of the former enemy headquarters of the first division rushed in with an excited face.

"Chief, a team has completed the first penetration of the Japanese puppet army, and now the Japanese puppet army has been divided into two, and the independent brigade has moved in place, and is attacking the Japanese army from the point of penetration to the front and rear, opening up the distance between the two Japanese puppet armies!"

"Detachment Commander Chen reported that the heavy artillery battalion supported by the headquarters played a great role in the interspersed process."

"At present, the team has been divided into two, each with a heavy artillery company to continue to intersperse the remaining Japanese puppet army, and strive to divide the remaining Japanese puppet army into four within two hours!"

"The third detachment reported that more than half of the forward troops of the Japanese puppet army had suffered casualties, and the remnants of the Japanese puppet army were compressed to three heights for siege. At the current pace of attack, the battle can be over in a maximum of three hours! ”

"No, three hours is too long, an hour and a half must end the battle!" Commander Yang said very decisively.

"After the main force of the Japanese puppet army is divided into four, a large number of troops need to cooperate with a team to complete the division, and then surround and attack the divided Japanese puppet army. The three detachments had to end the battle within an hour and a half, and then quickly surround the Japanese puppet army closest to them and continue the attack! ”

"Isn't there a company in the heavy artillery battalion that has no combat missions! Send three detachments over and end the battle quickly! ”

On the battlefield, the power of heavy artillery is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Under the cover of heavy artillery, the Japanese puppet army in front of a detachment, no matter how strong the defensive position was, did not hold on for more than half an hour.

Therefore, in less than two hours, the remaining 11,000 days of puppet troops were divided into four except for the forwards.

The next battle will be no suspense.

After a day and two nights of bloody battles, more than 10,000 days of puppet troops, except for a small number of breakthroughs, the rest were either wiped out or taken prisoner by the Eighth Route Army.

"Report to the chief, a detachment was ordered to complete the task,. Wiped out 2,456 Japanese troops, more than 2,800 Imperial Allied troops, including more than 2,100 captured Imperial Allied troops! As soon as the leader of the detachment Chen rushed into the headquarters, he reported excitedly.

"The casualties of the troops are not large!" As a well-deserved main force of the military sub-division, the results and casualties of a team are of the utmost concern. The results of the battle are known, which is very satisfying, and the next thing that worries everyone is the casualties.

The smile on Captain Chen's face disappeared suddenly, and he replied in a heavy tone: "The whole detachment had more than 8,000 people before the war, and a total of more than 4,000 casualties, of which more than 2,000 people were directly killed, and the largest loss was a regiment, as the main force of the interspersed troops, the whole regiment had 2,500 people before the battle, and less than 800 people could still move in the end, most of the others sacrificed, and a small number of them were seriously injured!" ”

Speaking of this, Captain Chen seemed to have thought of something, and said to Commander Yang with a light in his eyes.

"If it weren't for the military region to strengthen and give us a heavy artillery battalion, the casualties would have exceeded 5,000!"

"Chief, the team is injured this time, I don't have anything else to ask for, I just hope to give us some heavy mortars used on the battlefield for the sake of such large casualties in the troops! One company, I only need one company! ”

The commander of the second detachment next to him immediately shouted: "Chief, I have seen the power of heavy mortars, they are larger than mountain and field artillery, and if they are arranged, a company can completely suppress a field artillery brigade of the Japanese army and have no chance of counterattacking." The casualties of our second detachment are not small, and I also want a company! ”

Several detachment leaders quarreled over heavy mortars in front of Commander Yang and Commander Nie!

Commander Yang was also frightened by the performance of the heavy mortars on the battlefield, and also wanted to leave this heavy mortar battalion behind.

Therefore, in the face of the quarrel of his subordinates, not only did he not stop it, but he also showed a flash of a smile on his face.

Then he pretended to look at Commander Nie with a helpless expression.

"Commander? Look at this! ”
