Leaving the Qingniu Mountain position, Yang Yuanshan quickly bypassed the battlefield and rushed towards Huangling Village.

It took more than half an hour for Yang Yuanshan to rush to the position of the Third Company in Huangling Village.

It was still quiet at the moment, and the soldiers hid in the trenches, quietly waiting for the enemy.

"What about Li Dahe? Let him come to me! ”

Yang Yuanshan shouted.

At this time, a man with only one arm came out and replied:

"Battalion commander, our company commander is on the hillside position in the northwest, and I don't know why we haven't fired yet."

Yang Yuanshan took a look and saw that this person was Wang Quanfa, the deputy commander of the third company, and immediately nodded and said:

"Let's go, take me over there!"

When Wang Quan heard this, he immediately called Li Youqiang, the commander of the first platoon of the third company, and asked him to command him temporarily, and then ran to the northwest slope with Yang Yuanshan.

Seeing that Wang Quanfa was so safe, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but nod secretly.

Knowing that the commander of his next infantry company has been chosen.

……

Following Wang Quanfa around the two peaks, Yang Yuanshan came to this position in the northwest of Huangling Village, only to see that this place was facing the position of the Second Company in Qingniu Mountain, and the shooting range was very good.

Trenches crisscrossed and hidden among the weeds, it is difficult to spot an ambush at first glance.

It's just that at this moment, the soldiers who were ambushed in the trenches were all holding their guns tightly, and none of them shot at the little devil ironclad train on the railway below the mountain.

"Li Dahe, what are you doing?"

When Yang Yuanshan saw this scene, he was immediately angry.

Xindao: What's the matter, the soldiers of the second company are fighting with the little devils, and the third company is actually watching the play here?

That's a bit too much, isn't it?

Where did Li Dahe learn the bad problem of "friendly troops are in difficulty and do not move like a mountain"?

I didn't find this kid so wilted before!

Li Dahe saw that Wang Quanfa was coming with Yang Yuanshan, and hurriedly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole:

"Battalion commander, why are you here?

If there is any order, it would be nice to send a messenger to convey it. ”

When he saw Yang Yuanshan's angry face, he was suddenly a little stunned.

"Hmph, if I don't come, I don't know that your kid is sitting and watching the second company fight with the little devil, and he won't move like a mountain!"

Yang Yuanshan sneered.

Hearing this, Li Dahe finally understood why the other party was angry.

He immediately pointed to the ironclad train of the little devil below and explained to Yang Yuanshan:

"Battalion commander, I'm not sitting and watching the comrades of the second company bleed, it's that the time has not yet come.

Look, in the ironclad train of the little devils, only two or three hundred people came out to release guns, and more of them were shooting at our army in the train.

I observed that the ironclad train of the little devil is thickly armoured, and our rifles and grenadiers may not be able to help them.

Now, even if we attack from the back of the little devil, we can only attack these two or three hundred people, and we can't give full play to the maximum effect of this position.

That's why I ordered the soldiers not to hurry up and start at first, and to wait until the little devil couldn't hold it back and more people came out of it before suddenly making a move, so that the little devil was caught off guard. ”

He was born as a reconnaissance platoon commander, and his observation was very keen, and he had long understood the power of the little devil's ironclad train.

Listening to Li Dahe's explanation, Yang Yuanshan was a little relieved, and hurriedly asked:

"How long are you going to wait?

Now the little devil's ironclad train defense is strong, and it is obviously difficult to destroy them with the current strength of the second company alone.

Keep delaying, the little devil bombers are coming, and we're in trouble! ”

"I'm going to wait and see for another half an hour, if the little devil still doesn't come out, we can only attack."

Li Dahe also had fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

He also felt a lot of pressure.

Half an hour, can you wait?

Yang Yuanshan pondered in his heart.

However, before he could figure it out, there was a sudden "bang" that startled him.

He took a look, only to see the head of the little devil's ironclad train, a heavy cannon suddenly turned the barrel and fired.

Huge shells flew out of the chamber with that loud bang.

Then he saw the shells fall like lightning on the position of the artillery company of the special service battalion on the opposite hillside, and there was a loud noise—

"Boom!"

In the midst of the firelight, the cannonballs blew up countless mountains, rocks, grass and trees!

Shrapnel and rubble shot like locusts in all directions.

"Not good! The heavy artillery of the little devils! ”

As soon as Yang Yuanshan saw the power of this cannon, he knew that it was estimated to be a 150mm caliber heavy artillery.

Picking up the binoculars and looking at the appearance of this cannon and the length of the barrel, he suddenly understood that this was probably the Taisho four-year 150mm field howitzer of the little devil!

Although this thing is far worse than the old American M1 155mm howitzer and the Germanic sFH 18 150mm howitzer, it is simply an invincible weapon for the current special service battalion!

Seeing the power of this cannon, Yang Yuanshan immediately said to Li Dahedao:

"Li Dahe, we can't wait, we must not let the little devil's heavy artillery continue to shoot, otherwise our artillery will be completely destroyed!"

Compared with this kind of terrifying giant cannon with a range of 9 kilometers, a weight of five or six thousand catties, and a grenade weighing more than 70 catties, the two Miss 75 cannons equipped by the artillery company of the special service battalion can be described as really weak Miss Fengjiao.

It's not a level of existence at all!

Of course, Li Dahe also saw the power of this heavy artillery fire, and his heart was also shocked, and when he heard Yang Yuanshan's words at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and order:

"Yes!

I immediately ordered the fighters to open fire! ”

At this time, Yang Yuanshan suddenly thought of something and reminded:

"Those Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns of the artillery company are here with you, right?

Shoot armor-piercing blasters with these rapid-fire cannons now!

This thing is specifically designed to fight tanks!

Shoot all the shells directly to Lao Tzu! ”

He remembered that although the rapid-fire gun of the little devil was useless against the frontal armor of heavy and medium tanks, it was still accurate against armored vehicles or thin-skinned tanks.

Now the ironclad train armor of the little devil looks bluffing, but it is just to scare our army without anti-tank guns, and if you really encounter anti-tank guns, it is estimated that it is useless!

At this time, he regretted that he didn't ask for a few more rapid-fire guns when he didn't ask for a few more rapid-fire guns when he divided the battle of Heyuan with Li Yunlong in Lujia Village last time.

If all the 5 rapid-fire guns were taken away, the special service battalion would now have 7 rapid-fire guns, and it would definitely have a miraculous effect when it hit the ironclad train of the little devils!

Sure enough, what can pull out pus is a good plaster, this 37mm rapid-fire cannon is not powerful enough to hit the little devil infantry, but now it should be stronger than mountain artillery and cannon to hit armor!

Hearing Yang Yuanshan's words, Li Dahe immediately agreed loudly:

"Yes!

Our artillery positions had four rapid-fire guns, two mountain guns, and four Type 92 infantry guns.

I'll go and order it now! ”

Then he ran to the artillery position and ordered Ding Yongkuan, the platoon commander of the artillery company:

"Lao Ding, the battalion commander ordered your artillery company to open fire.

Use your rapid-fire cannon to quickly bombard the little devil's ironclad train with armor-piercing blasters, and smash the little devil's iron turtle!

Wipe out the armor-piercing blasters!

Other artillery guns are also firing at full strength! ”

Among the three platoon commanders of the artillery company, Ding Yongkuan was the most prominent.

That's why he was sent here by Wang Gensheng to stand alone.

Hearing Li Dahe's order, he immediately commanded the four Type 94 37mm rapid-fire guns to aim at the infantry vehicles, heavy artillery vehicles, and light artillery vehicles of the little devil's ironclad train.

The other artillery pieces were aimed at the little devil who was lying on the roof of the ironclad car and firing his guns towards the position of the second company.

After some preparation and adjustment of the artillery bombardment, Ding Yongkuan immediately ordered:

"Fire!"

At the sound of an order, ten artillery pieces opened fire, and in the blink of an eye, ten shells smashed on the ironclad train of the little devil at the bottom of the mountain, making a huge explosion.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

A series of explosions shocked the little devils.

No matter what, they didn't expect that there would be an enemy ambush behind them!

At this moment, Shimokawa Nariya, the captain of the command car of the armored train, was hiding behind a stone to direct the little devil to counterattack, and suddenly saw an armor-piercing blasting bomb tearing through the armor of his command car, exploding in the carriage, and blowing up several guards and staff officers who had not had time to run out into stumps and broken arms!

The Type 94 37mm rapid-fire gun uses armor-piercing blasting shells that can penetrate more than 40 mm of steel when firing at a distance of about 500 meters!

The armor of the ironclad train of the little devils, of course, did not have 40 mm, so now it is penetrated with one shot!

When Shimokawa Chengya saw this, his eyes were about to pop out, and he exclaimed:

"Nani? There are anti-tank guns on the Tuba Road? ”

And just as he was screaming, he also heard a dense explosion, and countless locust warriors were blown up by the shells from behind and cried out for their fathers and mothers.

Seeing that the situation was so serious, he immediately ordered:

"Hurry up, the infantry withdraw from the armored vehicles and disperse!

Find cover and fight back! ”

As a veteran of more than ten years in the army, he knows very well that since the enemy has anti-tank guns, then his people continue to hide in armored trains, that is, waiting for death.

It only takes one armor-piercing bullet to explode in the carriage and take the lives of dozens of locust warriors.

It is better to quickly withdraw, disperse in search of cover, and confront the enemy.

This will last longer.

At this time, one of the squadron leaders under his command rushed to him and shouted:

"Your Excellency, Captain, there are only two infantry guns left in the artillery squadron intact!"

"Yaga!

Why don't you pull it out quickly and shell this bunch of dirt? What are you waiting for? ”

Shimokawa Chengya was angry, and said in his heart: What are these idiots still doing?

Didn't you see that the warriors of the locust army were already under enemy fire and suffered heavy casualties?

The artillery squadron he brought was equipped with a total of four Type 92 infantry guns, plus the two Type 92 infantry guns originally owned by the artillery squad under the brigade, a total of six guns.

"Your Excellency, Captain, but our gunners have just been killed by the shells of the Dirt Eight Road, and now only the ammunition and observers are left!"

The squadron leaders of the artillery squadrons were all about to cry.

Of course, he also knew to hurry up and pull out the cannon to bombard the eight roads, but it was a special coincidence that when the gunners were lining up and jumping out of the carriage, an 11-pound mountain artillery shell fell at the door of the carriage, blowing up the more than 20 gunners on the spot, causing heavy casualties, and no one could still fire the cannon!

So he could only run over and report to Nariya Shimokawa.

"Nani?

The gunners were all killed?

Eight grid tooth road! ”

Shimokawa Nariya's teeth are about to be crushed.

I was so angry that I trembled all over, and I couldn't wait to chop the waste in front of me with a knife.

What the hell is this commander?

In this dangerous battlefield, the gunners were all gathered together?

That's not how you look for death!

The great cause of the locust army has been destroyed in the hands of this group of waste!

However, he can get mixed with the rank of Zhongzuo, naturally he is also battle-hardened, although the current situation is bad, he has not lost confidence, after all, the sound of 150mm heavy artillery firing is still reminding him that he still has enough strength to fight back.

He immediately kicked the leader of the artillery squadron and shouted angrily:

"The gunner is gone, you can go on it yourself!

The anti-tank guns of the Dirt Eight Road must be knocked out immediately! ”

"Hey!"

The squadron leader of the artillery squadron could only make a bitter face and agreed to come down.

……

Sending away this waste, Shimokawa Narumi glanced at the entire battlefield, and directly the entire battlefield shrapnel was like clouds, bullets like rain, cannons, gunshots, and wails, like a symphony.

All kinds of weapons on both sides are firing with all their might, and the fight is in full swing and cannot be separated.

However, the Eighth Road set up ambush positions on the slopes of the mountains on both sides of the front and rear, and the warriors of the locusts army obviously began to be at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Telegraph man, send a telegram to His Excellency the Wing Commander, informing me that the 1st Brigade has been ambushed on the railroad.

At least there are more than two regiments in size, and there are more than 20 artillery pieces, as well as a number of anti-tank guns that fire armor-piercing shells, and there are plenty of shells!

At present, our army is at a significant disadvantage, and it is expected to hold out for a maximum of 24 hours, ask for tactical guidance! ”
