"Commander-in-chief, just now the commander of the 1st battalion reported, and the 3rd company did it with the devil again."

"Dozens of devils have been killed, and the 3rd company has withdrawn from the battle."

At the Siding Mountain Headquarters, Huang Erhu reported to Li Yunlong.

"Zhang Dabiao, this kid did a beautiful job!" Li Yunlong looked satisfied, and then said, "Huzi, immediately ask the scouts, have all the devils entered the encirclement?" ”

"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and picked up the high-power walkie-talkie to call.

After a while, Huang Erhu got up and reported: "Commander-in-chief, there are 2 devils of the infantry wing who have entered the encirclement at present. ”

Li Yunlong frowned: "What about 2 infantry wings, and 1 infantry wing?" ”

Huang Erhu reported: "According to Zhang Tianfu of the Sword Squadron, there is still one wing of devils who stopped in Nangou Village and did not move. ”

Li Yunlong found the location of Nangou Village on the map, and then marked it with a pencil, and thought about it.

This Nangou village is about 3 kilometers away from Gujia Village.

The devil's 1st wing is not here, and Li Yunlong can't guess what the devil is doing for a while.

His battle plan was to wait for the 10,000 devils of the three wings to enter the encirclement, the aerial bombs would wash the ground, and then the artillery shells would wash the ground, and the infantry would rush down to harvest corn.

However, it is certain that his ambush has not been exposed, otherwise the devils of these two wings would never have swaggered into the encirclement like this.

Li Yunlong was not ready to wait for that devil team in Nangou Village.

When the devil wing in Nangou Village left, the two devil wings that entered the encirclement had already walked out of the encirclement.

Come to 3 wings to do his dog's day, come to 2 wings to do the same.

Li Yunlong's expression was solemn, and he turned around and walked in front of Huang Erhu: "Huzi, connect the artillery groups for me." ”

"Yes!" After a while, Huang Erhu handed the high-power walkie-talkie to Li Yunlong, "Commander-in-chief, it's connected." ”

Li Yunlong picked up the high-power walkie-talkie and said: "Attention to all artillery groups, attention to all artillery groups, I am Li Yunlong, I am Li Yunlong, now I order, all artillery groups immediately fire at the devil, don't save shells, give me a hard beating!" ”

……

To the south of Huojiazhuang, 4 kilometers away from a half-mountainside.

Six mountain guns were lined up, and behind the gun emplacements, they were stacked neatly, like mountain-high shell boxes.

Camouflage nets were pulled above each gun to cover the entire gun body, and each shell pile was also covered with camouflage nets to increase concealment.

Each cannon was pointed in the direction of the gorge where the devils marched.

There are seven or eight artillery positions like this within a six-kilometer radius of the canyon, and some cannons are set up in caves.

In each artillery position, there is a high-power walkie-talkie.

In addition, there are hundreds of false positions around, and once the fight starts, the militia in the false artillery positions are responsible for setting off smoke to ensure that the devil pilots who are flying the planes to support them are confused.

And the firing of the mountain artillery, the special forces of the sword squadron were determined by the precision method, and the barrel of the gun was raised high, pointing in the direction of the devil's march.

Qiu Zhangcheng, commander of the division's artillery regiment, looked at his watch, and it was already half past ten in the morning.

At this moment, the current of the high-power walkie-talkie next to him was sizzling, and he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and put it to his ear.

At the same time, Li Yunlong's voice was heard from the walkie-talkie.

After a while, Qiu Zhangcheng put down the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Prepare all gun positions!" ”

The artillerymen, who were resting on the ground, heard this roar, jumped up with great skill and returned to their respective combat positions.

The distance of 4 kilometers is almost half of the maximum range, and there is a mountain in the middle, so there is no devil in sight, and in the absence of a precise method, the observer can report the distance and direction by telephone or radio communication machine, and then according to the continuous shelling of the impact point, the shooting elements can be corrected to achieve the best effect.

However, now the Eighth Route Army will not only use precision artillery bombardment.

Equipped with a high-power walkie-talkie, communication is also extremely convenient.

Able to contact and correct shooting elements at any time.

This configuration and artillery literacy, throwing off the little devil artillery ten streets.

"All guns are shelling at full speed, no need to save shells, until you shout stop!"

"This time, let's cover the devils with artillery fire!"

In Commander Qiu's rough voice, the eyes of the artillery soldiers of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be burning with raging fire.

Since the formation of the artillery regiment directly under the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the regiment commander has always emphasized precision artillery bombardment, requiring that every shell fall on the devil's head.

The infantry sings about killing one enemy with one bullet, and the artillery sings about killing ten enemies with one shell.

The artillerymen of the artillery regiment are all studying and training in this direction.

Although there are 3 base shells, there are relatively sufficient shells, but they must not be wasted.

It is only when you fight with the new regiment Commander Li that you have the opportunity to cover the devils with artillery fire, such as the last battle of Guanjiayuan.

As well as this time.

Because Regiment Commander Li reimbursed the shells that were fired, even the cannons that were damaged in the battle.

Captain Li is really broad...

The artillerymen thought in their heads, but the movements of their hands were not slow at all.

The rate of fire of this beautiful M1 75mm mountain gun is 5 rounds per minute, and if the artillery is not skilled, it can only fire 3 rounds per minute.

The artillerymen trained hundreds of times in order to maintain a rate of fire of 5 rounds per minute on the battlefield.

The shells, loading, and closing the bolts were all in one go, and the six mountain guns were loaded in less than 10 seconds.

"Ready!"

The two words of preparation sounded, behind the gun position of the six mountain guns, the first gunner slowly retreated with the fire rope in his hand, and behind the first gunner, there was the third gunner holding the cannonball in his arms.

"Put!"

The expression of the flag commander was grim, and the command flag in his hand fell suddenly.

At the same time, the six 1st gunners also grabbed the fire rope and pulled it back at the same time, and while the cannon was discharged, the 1st gunner and the 2nd gunner knelt down on one knee to cover their ears.

All the way...

The muzzles of the six mountain guns instantly burst into six flames, and then turned into smoke and rose, and a scorching wave of air swept through, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose around the gun position.

"Don't stop, keep firing!"

The second gunner stood up, took the 14.2 kg M48 grenade from the third gunner, stuffed it into the chamber again, closed the bolt, and bent down to avoid the shock explosion.

Then a cannon pulled the rope back, and another shell burst out of the chamber.

At this time, because the initial velocity of this mountain artillery shell out of the barrel was only 381 meters, the first round of shells had not yet landed.

The artillerymen's movements were crisp and neat, and their proficiency was perfect.

"Go on!"

Captain Qiu's shouts continued.

The gunners performed their duties, stuffed 14.2 kg grenades into the barrel, and shot in the direction of the devil continuously.

……

Gorge.

Look at the dozens of wounded and corpses carried down from the front.

The 3rd Wing Commander, Tadao Matsui, looked like he was constipated.

He recognized the dozens of soldiers who had been added to the search wing by the 3rd Wing two hours earlier.

Only two hours have passed, and the more than 200 soldiers of the 3rd Wing who have replenished the search wing have already suffered casualties.

The leader of the search wing, Takeyoshi Manaka, came on a military horse and stopped at Matsui's tank.

"Matsui-kun, please give me two more squadron soldiers." Imachu Takeyoshi said to Tadao Matsui.

"I don't have it here, you go to Goto-kun and ask." Tadao Matsui decisively refused.

A squadron was reimbursed in less than 2 hours and was almost completely wiped out, and the mortality rate of the search wing was too high.

Behind the 3rd Guards Wing was the 2nd Wing of the 4th Guards Division, and the Wing Commander was Goto Juro Ozuo.

"The new sneak attack of the eight roads is very strong."

"Matsui-kun, in order to reach the periphery of the Eighth Route Arsenal as soon as possible, please give me two more squadrons."

Jinzhong Wuyi's face was ugly, if it weren't for the order, who would want to be the captain of this search wing?

The Search Wing is the most dangerous of the troops.

"Matsui-kun..."

Suddenly, Takeyoshi Manaka's voice stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, including Takeyoshi Imachu and Tadao Matsui, as well as the devils of the 3rd Wing looking at the southern sky at the same time.

They heard what seemed to be a strange whistling sound in the sky, and it was somewhat familiar.

Mountain artillery shells fly slower than the speed of sound, so on the battlefield, soldiers generally hear the whistling of shells in the air.

It took a second or two before the shell hit the ground.

"Cannonballs, that's cannonballs..."

A ghost veteran suddenly screamed with horror on his face and fell to the ground at great speed.

However, it was too late, not all devils had such a fast reaction speed, although under the cover of artillery fire, it was useless to react quickly.

Because from all sides, the whistling sound of exactly the same cannonballs swept through the air.

The first to land were the 6 grenades fired by Commander Qiu's position, which was relatively close to where the devil was.

Boom boom...

6 shells landed in the devil formation and exploded, accompanied by 6 deafening explosions, orange fireballs erupted, and the shock wave swept across with terrifying projectiles.

More than a dozen devils were blown up by the shells on the spot, and after they landed, their bodies were broken into several pieces or blown up, so they could only watch their fate.

Anyway, there are no whole corpses.

One of the shells hit a Type 95 tank, the shell hit from the top of the turret, the diesel exploded and the shell exploded, and an explosive fireball suddenly rose up and turned into a cloud of mushroom smoke!

The devil inside the tank didn't have time to react and was shattered in the explosion.

By this time, the shells fired by the various artillery groups had already galloped down, shrouding the entire canyon in the smoke of artillery fire.

Artillery fire is a signal to attack.

Immediately afterwards, mortar groups of various artillery positions began to operate.

On the position of the 1st Assault Group, more than 100 shells rushed out of the muzzle with a continuous and rapid and continuous muffled sound.

Graceful arcs were drawn through the air, falling between the devils.

With a constant roar, the cannonballs stretched wantonly, and explosive fireballs and gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire canyon.

The completely defenseless devil was blown up.

A total of more than 300 artillery pieces from mountain artillery and mortars opened fire at the same time, firing shells at the heads of the devils.

Although more than 300 cannons are nothing in a general battle, all the shells fell in the not spacious canyon, and the shells fired continuously by more than 300 cannons were undoubtedly terrifying.

The shells continued to fall among the devils, blowing them up, stunning, and killing them.
