"Everybody's up!"

"Keep it up! Keep it all up! Come! ”

"One, two, three!"

"One, two, three!"

With all kinds of weapons and ammunition in hand, the Yanbei detachment immediately began to act.

Light weapons or something, there is not the slightest problem. There are no problems with mortars, infantry artillery either. But the field artillery was a little in trouble.

Although there are mules and horses to help transport it. However, many roads also require human help.

Pull and pull, push and pull, and finally pull to the side of the railway.

It's still daytime. Everything is seen very clearly on the railway line.

The Japanese were very well guarded.

In addition to the railway garrison, there was a separate mixed brigade.

Not far to the north is Datong. It is strategically located. The 26th Japanese Division was stationed there. is a very tough opponent.

About a kilometer away from the railway line, there are many Japanese artillery towers.

Within sight, there were at least seven turrets. Two of the big ones. Five small ones.

Small turrets, generally stationed more than a dozen Japanese invaders. There are also thirty or forty puppet soldiers.

There are many large turrets. A squad of Japanese invaders is stationed inside. There is no puppet army. Possession of heavy machine guns, grenadiers.

The small turret, which is a brick and concrete structure, is not so strong.

But mortars or something, they can't be destroyed either. Explosives packs are also difficult to function.

The large turrets are much stronger. There are a lot of stones. Some also have cement.

In a word, there are no direct-fire guns. No need to talk.

This is also where the arrogant capital of the Japanese invaders lies.

If the Eighth Route Army had 88 guns or something......

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The Japanese in the turret began to shoot.

In fact, it is still far away. It's a thousand meters. This is a deliberate deterrent.

If it was before, everyone would definitely lie down, hide well, and wait for night to fall. Then taking advantage of the night, quietly touched through the cracks in the turret.

But this time......

"Pull the mountain cannon up!"

"Quick!"

Pan Xiaodong waved his hand.

The fighters worked together to fix the field guns.

Aim.

Shoot.

"Tom!"

The first cannon ejected the chamber.

Regretful.

Didn't hit.

Not a professional after all.

The entire Yanbei detachment is in contact with field artillery for the first time!

Zhang Chu didn't move.

There is time. Let the warriors learn slowly.

These field guns will eventually be handed over to them for use in the future. He can't be replaced.

In that case, let the warriors grope for a good time.

"Tom!"

The second cannon ejected the chamber.

Still missed.

"What's the matter with you guys? What's going on? What's going on? ”

"Who's going to shoot?"

"Who's going to shoot?"

Pan Xiaodong was immediately anxious.

These are the losers. Just like that, two precious shells were wasted.

If you let the head of the headquarters, you will definitely scold your mother.

Do you know how precious a mountain cannonball is?

"Captain Pan, I'll teach you!"

Zhang Chu had no choice but to stand up.

It takes too long to start from scratch completely.

"Good! Thank you! ”

Pan Xiaodong couldn't ask for it.

So Zhang Chu gathered dozens of more nimble fighters.

Artillery is a technical branch. A little bit of math is required. Or maybe you know a little bit about the basics of triangles.

Of course, it would be better if you knew how to parabola or something.

Unfortunately, not for the time being.

In the entire Yanbei detachment, no one has a junior primary school culture.

If there was, it was also transferred by the main forces.

What to do?

It's not a big problem either. At most, it's a direct shot.

Use field guns as rifles. Push directly in front of the target and aim with your eyes!

bayonets on cannons,

From now on!

A simple explanation of the principle of shooting.

Sounds simple. But it's not that easy.

At the end of the day, it's also a matter of proficiency.

Even if you don't have any talent, as long as you have enough shells, practice makes perfect.

It just so happened that Zhang Chu had such conditions.

"Come!"

"Try it!"

Zhang Chu said in a deep voice.

The fighters immediately took aim again.

According to Zhang Chu's explanation, lock the Japanese artillery tower.

Take a straight look.

It can also be dealt with.

"Tom!"

The third shot was ejected.

"Boom ......"

A loud bang was heard.

Hit.

A blaze erupted from the turret.

Although only hit the side. However, the explosion has created a huge gap.

The point is, all the other Japanese invaders were shocked.

Sky! Field artillery!

The Eighth Route Army actually had field artillery!

Because the previous two shots didn't hit, the momentum was not too big.

The other Japanese invaders, even when they heard the cannonballs, did not realize the seriousness of the situation. Only now did I realize that the situation was quite bad!

There are actually field guns on the Eighth Road!

And, more than one! There seem to be a lot of doors.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

Sure enough, the other five field guns were also aiming at their targets, trying to shoot.

Zhang Chu has already said it. Shells are. You don't have to have a psychological burden. As long as you aim and hit. It doesn't matter if you don't hit. Keep adjusting, keep playing!

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

In total, there were three explosions.

Of the five shells, three hit and two missed.

Four of the seven turrets were shelled.

It's all blown up and a gap. But it did not collapse completely. The defenders inside were either killed or wounded by the shock.

This is a terrible thing.

The Eighth Route Army actually had so many field artillery!

What are they going to do?

The defenders hurriedly reported up. The voice is in a hurry.

"Nani?"

"There are field artillery on the Eighth Road?"

"Yaga!"

The superiors were also stunned.

They were also stunned.

Sky!

What is the dirt hachi road going to do?

Where are they going to attack?

It is impossible to mobilize so many field guns just to cross the railway line, right?

Yaga!

The situation is serious.

Hurriedly report to the above.

Finally, the alarm came all the way to the 26th Division stationed in Datong. The division commander, Shigetoku Kuroda, was quite surprised.

"Nani?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Where did you get so many field guns from Tubalu?"

"Yaga!"

"Investigate it now!"

Shigetoku Kuroda couldn't figure it out either.

I had to order all the Japanese soldiers around me to prepare for war.

At the same time, the railway garrison was ordered to be dispatched in full. In particular, sorties of armored trains.

Wrong......

Armored trains cannot be dispatched.

There are field artillery on the dirt eight roads. It is possible to break all armored trains.

However, it was already too late.

The Japanese armored train has been dispatched.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

At this time, on the railway front, the artillery fire was even more intense.

The Yanbei detachment lined up the twelve field guns and bombarded the Japanese artillery towers.

Of these, six field guns belonged to the Wutaishan detachment. But now it is also in service. Anyway, it's not in vain. Zhang Chu said that he was responsible for reimbursement for the consumed shells.

Under the heavy artillery bombardment, the five small artillery towers soon collapsed.

The remaining two relatively strong turrets did not last long, and were eventually blown apart by the dense shells.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Mortars followed.

Cannonballs smashed into the ruins of the turret. The ruins were bombarded repeatedly.

Others are mending guns. They are refills.

"Up!"

Pan Xiaodong rushed forward with the soldiers.

There is already no fighting. Because most of the defenders were blown to death.

Even if he still has breath, he is already unconscious. Directly refill the gun and send it away.

When Zhang Chu led a group of "baby soldiers" to the ruins of the turret, the battle here was over. There are no longer any living defenders.

Whether it is the Japanese invaders or the puppet army, they have all been wiped out.

"You recovered a heavy machine gun ......"

"You recovered a grenadier ......"

I picked up a lot of good things.

In particular, the number of grenadier canisters was large. There were twenty of them.

and the reward, forty.

After all the upgrades, it's 40 field guns!

Flattered......

Cool crooked......

Prepare to cross the railroad.

I just happened to encounter two Japanese armored trains.

If you don't say it, start fighting.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Twelve field guns fired flat at the armored train.

The two armored trains were immediately blinded. Then it was blown to pieces. Fall apart directly along the railway.

Their armor could not withstand the flat fire of field guns.

A bombardment. Just send them all away. At the same time, the railroad was blown up.

The troops crossed the railroad in a mighty way.

At this time, the Japanese invaders on the east side of the railway were frightened.

Oh, my God!

How many dirt roads have come to the west!

Why is the firepower so ferocious!

For a while, it was not for them to continue to defend, nor was it to give up.

Abandon the turret and run outside, it is easier to encounter the attack of the earth eight roads. There are so many people in the Dirt Eight Road, they are simply sent to death.

However, if you continue to stay in the turret. He will definitely be killed by the field artillery of the Eighth Road.

Helpless. I can only desperately ask for help from my superiors.

But it didn't work.

Far water can't save a near fire.

"One, two, three!"

"One, two, three!"

The fighters shouted trumpets and pulled field guns across the railway.

There is previous combat experience. Directly pull the field artillery closer to the Japanese artillery tower less than 800 meters before starting to aim.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After the continuous shelling, the turrets on the east side were also cleared.

The defenders inside were all blown to death. There are very few guns that need to be replaced. Because they were all blown to pieces.

All communications in the vicinity were cut off.

"Yaga!"

"Damn!"

The more Kuroda thought about it, the more wrong it became.

What exactly does Dirt Hachiro want to do? Is it to besiege Datong?

Mobilizing so many field artillery pieces is obviously not good! It is estimated that Tubalu has pulled out all the family resources.

Disastrous.

Disastrous.

Scared into a cold sweat.

Hurriedly ordered the reduction of troops and put them on full alert.

At the same time, an urgent report was made to the command of the First Army. At the same time, a copy of the battle situation was also sent to Beiping.

"Nani?"

"There are a lot of field guns on the Eighth Road?"

"Crossing the railroad?"

Saburo Saito, who received the report, was also stunned.

He was busy commanding the troops to recover the county seat of Ping'an. Unexpectedly, there was another accident in the north.

What exactly is Dirt Eight Road going to do?

A bad feeling arose. so that he did not dare to despise it.

In the past, the direction of Ping'an County was sloppy and did not pay attention to it, so it would suffer such heavy losses.

He certainly can't repeat the mistakes of the past.

Hurriedly came to report Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was also surprised.

For a while, he couldn't tell what Tubalu was going to do. But it also doesn't feel good.

You must know that Tubalu dispatched so many heavy artillery, and the plan is not small.

For Tubalu, the field artillery is definitely a heavy artillery. The amount will certainly not be too much. It is easy not to use.

I can think of it on my knees that there must be some major strategic intentions on the Dirt Eight Road.

So, what exactly does Dirt Hachiro want to do?

Yoshio Shinozuka ponders the map.

No avail.

Could it be that it is really a sword pointing at Datong?

Then he shook his head.

Probably not.

Datong is a fortified city, garrisoned by the 26th Division.

Even if Tubalu concentrates more troops, it is impossible to take Datong down.

Dirt Eight Road is not so stupid.

So, they're definitely going to be aiming elsewhere.

The question is, what else is it?

Yoshio Shinozuka thought about it, but he couldn't judge.

But he reacted quickly.

The most pressing task at the moment is to immediately mobilize troops to encircle, pursue, and intercept them, and resolutely not allow the Tuba Road to complete its military deployment.

The question is, where does he go for reinforcements?

He had already transferred all the 29th Division. There are no more mobile forces at hand.

I thought it was a fire in Ping'an County, but I didn't expect another spark to emerge further north. Once it is allowed to burn, the consequences are unimaginable.

Pondered for a long time......

Yoshio Shinozuka finally made the deployment.

"Order the 29th Division to cross the Fanzhuang station and go north to intercept the Tuba Road that crosses the railway."

"Order other reinforcements and continue to advance towards Ping'an County."
