Chapter 592: Extravagant Bombardment (First Update!) )
"Commander, you're not mistaken? I remember that we didn't seem to have artillery, only two mortars, and every time you personally carried out aimed fire! Xiong Changhe immediately asked.
"It didn't turn out, it doesn't mean that there is no now, and there won't be one in the future, I'll form the artillery unit now!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.
"Chen Dong, the only platoon commander in our new regiment who has been an artillery soldier and can use artillery. From now on, he will be the commander of the artillery company of our new regiment! ”
"But we don't have artillery, and we only have two mortars, and we don't have enough artillery to form an artillery battery?" Xiong Changhe continued to ask.
"There are a few of the captured puppet soldiers who can shoot artillery, and then five people from each of the two companies will be drawn out to supplement the artillery company as the backbone!" Wang Ping directly blurted out the thoughts in his heart without any concealment.
Then he continued: "As for the cannon, I have already gone to the direct squad to look for it in the ruins in front, and it should be rewarded soon!" ”
"The devil brought in six mortars, even if some are blown up, three should be left!"
"With the addition of our own two, a total of five or six mortars, it should be possible to put up the rack of the artillery battery!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Guangxin of the reconnaissance squad rushed over.
"Commander, we're rich again!"
"A total of 4 mortars, 2 heavy machine guns, 5 light machine guns were found...... This was all found on the surface of the ruins, and there were quite a few weapons buried in the ruins, especially in the turret, where at least four heavy machine guns were buried! ”
Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe were shocked again, and before they could react, Wang Ping had already replied: "If you are buried, you don't want it, even if you dig it out, it will definitely be smashed, and we don't have that time to dig!" ”
"Xiao Yunshan, your second company suffered greater losses, when you break through, you take people to take charge of all the prisoners we just caught, let them carry fifty catties of food or a box of bullets, and retreat with us. If you are not honest, you can kill the chickens and monkeys and kill two captives! ”
"Xiong Changhe, after the shelling is over, your company will hit the head. I will provide you with enough artillery cover, and while the enemy is stunned, immediately rush forward, send a breakthrough, and then cover the troops to rush over quickly! ”
"All the remaining Japanese troops still have three mortars in their hands, and if you want to break through, you must first kill them.
So, it didn't take long for the two mortars equipped with the new regiment to fire.
The screeching shell seemed to have eyes, and smashed directly into the devil's defense, blowing one machine gun and two devil machine gunners away.
Ida Shaozuo was awakened for the first time, saw the fireballs and black smoke rising from the position, and shouted loudly: "Eight Geya Road, it's a mortar, and Tu Ba Lu is even equipped with a mortar!" They are firing now, they must be trying to break through! ”
"Don't we still have a mortar squad? Strike back now and take out a new regiment of artillery! There are not many of them, and there are certainly not many artillery! ”
The three mortars equipped by the devils quickly began to counterattack.
It's just that they didn't know that just as they were about to open fire, the two guns that the new regiment had just fired had been transferred to a few dozen meters away, and together with the remaining four mortars, they formed a mortar array, and Wang Ping personally acted as a gunner to determine the aim of the Japanese artillery position.
After all six mortars were aimed at the target, the six temporary gunners selected by Wang Ping, each holding a well-fused shell in their hands, placed it at the muzzle, and waited for the order to open fire.
"Five rapid shots from the cannon to shoot the shells as fast as possible!"
The three mortar groups of the devils were still firing shells at the positions just now.
The six shells that fell from the sky directly caught the devil off guard. Half of the gunners didn't have time to react and were blown up.
The gunner, who was still alive, immediately lay on the ground, trying to dodge.
However, the rate of fire of the mortars was too fast, and in less than a minute, a full thirty shells fell on them, leaving them with no way to hide.
"Bage Yalu, how is it possible, isn't there only more than a hundred people in the new group? How are so many mortars equipped, my artillery! Ida Shaozuo's face turned pale with a brush, and he shouted with a look of despair.
However, this is just the beginning.
After a group of six mortar shells rained down on the blockade line, overturning several imperial troops and the imperial allied army, Ida Shaozuo's already miserable face became even paler.
Shimiao Town is surrounded by plains, and there is no danger to defend at all.
The line of defense to surround the new regiment on its own is a simple line of defense centered on the machine gun bunkers stacked with sandbags.
Such a bunker position could block bullets fired from the front, and could not stop mortar shells falling from the sky.
What's more, the mortar shells, although not very powerful, did not have a problem at all in destroying machine-gun bunkers made of sandbags.
In this case, as long as the new regiment has enough shells, just six mortars can blow a gap in the blockade line.
"Captain, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce for us to withstand at all!" The adjutant next to him also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately stared at Ida Shaozo and asked.
For the first time, Ida Shaosa felt a deep sense of powerlessness on the battlefield.
Shaking his head, he replied helplessly: "There is no artillery, and I can't ask for aircraft support, and I can't do it!" ”
"Reinforcements to the breakthrough where the new regiment is shelling, that is no different from sending to death!"
"The counterattack is useless, just now the two hundred imperial troops, the two companies of the imperial army rushed in and died, not to mention that it is impossible for us to gather so many troops to rush in now."
Soon, the defensive line of an infantry squad and most of the puppet army company was hit by fifty or sixty shells.
In the violent explosion, the entire blockade line was directly covered by thick gunsmoke.
At this time, dozens of Eighth Route Army troops suddenly rushed out of the town. Although there were not many people, the seven or eight people who rushed to the front almost each had a light machine gun. Throughout the charge, four light machine guns were fired again.
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to break through, immediately draw an infantry squad up and plug the gap!" Ida Shaozo immediately seized the opportunity and ordered.
Dozens of devils quickly completed the assembly, and then rushed towards the gap with a roar.
When Ida Shaosa and all the other Japanese puppet soldiers were staring at the gap, the screaming of shells that they least wanted to hear was heard again.
This time only three shells fell, but the aim was good, and it smashed directly into the middle of the reinforcements.
"Boom, boom!" In the violent explosion, seven or eight devils were blown over in an instant.
"Scatter reinforcements in the past, don't gather together!" Ida Shaosa ordered in a hurry.
However, no matter how they dispersed, a group of three shells always followed them, especially one of the shells, as if it had eyes, chasing them.
Finally, when they were about to rush to the gap, more than forty reinforcements were killed and wounded, and less than twenty remained!
