The Meiling front line was under constant artillery fire.

An infantry brigade of the Muto Regiment cooperated with several armored vehicles to storm the Meiling Pass. As soon as they passed the pass, the Japs completely entered the defense zone of the New Regiment.

In the two positions in the pass, the first company of the third battalion was stationed at Highland 341, and the second company was stationed at the gate. Both sides formed a two-winged and semi-encircled posture to block the enemy.

On the front of the pass, Ding Wei personally led the Second Battalion to block the enemy. Although it was a frontal blockade, almost no bullets were needed. Because the pass was narrow, the Japanese could only rush in in waves, and they did not reach the attack range of the Second Battalion.

, most of the enemies were eliminated on the two highlands.

Although we were in a good situation, we have to say that the Japs attacked too hard! With several armored vehicles and artillery support, our army's position suffered a lot of casualties. If Ding Wei hadn't asked the troops to lay mines and ambushes on the road in advance, the Japs would have

With just a few armored vehicles, we can break through our defense line.

Bang!

With a sound of artillery, a 36kg artillery shell landed in the trench of the Second Battalion of the New 1st Regiment in the trench in front of Meiling. The one-meter-high trench was instantly blown to pieces, and several hidden soldiers were directly bombed.

He went to heaven, and before he had time to call for help, he was already bloody and lifeless!

Bang bang bang!

Several more cannon shots were fired, and several shell craters tens of centimeters deep appeared on the position. Smoke was everywhere for a while, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust, making it difficult to see what was in front of them.

The command post of the 2nd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment.

Just ten seconds ago, a shell landed near the command post. The shocking shock wave shook the command post hidden under the trench. If the command post was not hidden under the trench, the shock wave would have destroyed the command post.

!

"His grandma's! What kind of cannon is the little devil using? Why is it so loud!"

In the command post, Ding Wei had just given instructions to several company commanders of the Second Battalion. Unexpectedly, the sound of the heavy artillery made his ears ring. Now he can't even hear what he said!

The second battalion commander was next to him. He had just come back from the front line. His face was full of shell ashes. He just heard him say: "Captain, the little devil spent a lot of money this time. He used large-caliber heavy artillery. Our mine array

We’re almost running out, and if we don’t think of a way out, the Japs’ armored vehicles are coming.”

Ding Wei spat out the dust in his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "I heard it, this is at least a 100 mm howitzer. Grandma's little devil really gave Li Yunlong face, and actually killed me in order to avenge him."

deliver."

"Captain! Commander!"

At this moment, a young soldier hurriedly ran out of the command post. Ding Wei and others turned around and found that it was Wang Chengzhu!

"Zhuzi, why are you here? Weren't you asked to follow the logistics support troops to evacuate?" the second battalion commander asked in confusion.

Wang Chengzhu didn't have time to explain. He came here on a fast horse, and he still hasn't been able to breathe.

Ding Wei was a little surprised when he saw Wang Chengzhu. At the same time, his face didn't look good, and he said angrily: "What's going on? Why are you here?"

Wang Chengzhu took a few deep breaths: "Captain, the artillerymen of the Japs have brought large-caliber heavy artillery. I have discovered their artillery position, so I came here to report it."

"What??"

The enemy's artillery position was discovered!

Astonishing words, everyone in the command post stared intently at Wang Chengzhu, especially Ding Wei, who even asked in disbelief: "You said you discovered the enemy's artillery position, what's going on!"

Wang Chengzhu explained it immediately. Of course, he did not tell about the anti-Japanese situation map, but just found a reason to say that he saw it with a telescope on the top of the mountain.

Under such circumstances, Ding Wei was still doubtful. From Wang Chengzhu's detailed explanation alone, he knew that the former was not lying!

It's amazing that an artillery squadron can enjoy a 150mm howitzer! Ding Wei still couldn't figure out what was going on. He didn't expect that the commander of the artillery position opposite was Sonjiro Sakata.

"Bang!"

Ding Wei slammed the table angrily and cursed: "His grandma, it would be great if he could take over this artillery position!"

It has to be said that taking down the enemy's artillery position is more satisfying than destroying a whole enemy brigade, not to mention the enemy's large-caliber heavy artillery!

"An artillery position set up?!"

Everyone was shocked. At the same time, many people wanted to give it a try, but quickly gave up the idea.

The Japanese artillery position was set up outside the pass, and the infantry could not rush out, so they had to rely on artillery shells to blow up the position.

However, the whole regiment knows how weak their own artillery is. What can a few grenade launchers do? The artillery position is two kilometers away from here. What the heck.

Wang Chengzhu also thought of ways on the way here, and finally he could only say: "The grenade cannot hit the artillery position. It would be nice if there were a few Type 97 artillery shells. The Type 97 90mm light gun captured in Cangyunling last time

The mortars will come in handy!”

Everyone was shocked, and Ding Wei even said: "Oh? How do you say that?"

While recalling the data of the Type 97 mortar, Wang Chengzhu explained: "The range of the Type 97 mortar is more than two thousand meters, which can just land on the enemy's artillery position."

"Cannonballs..."

Ding Wei understood that if he wanted to bombard the opponent's artillery position, he needed artillery shells, but this kind of mortar shells had always been difficult to obtain, and the whole regiment didn't have any!

Although some materials were obtained from Wang Gegen, there was no time to develop them, and the war started.

The fire is burning, and there is constant sound of artillery fire outside. If we can't deal with this enemy artillery position, we don't know how many soldiers will die on the front line.

Ding Wei thought for a while and asked: "Is there no other cannonball that can be used instead?"

Wang Chengzhu also thought about it, but he didn’t! He could only shake his head!

Ding Wei thought carefully again, and after a while, he suddenly realized, and said: "Cheng Xiazi from the 772nd Regiment is nearby. I'm going to ask him now if he has any artillery shells. If so, I have to borrow a few missiles from him."

!”

After saying that, Ding Wei picked up the riding whip and rushed out the door. Several company commanders had just received the order and stood firm in their positions, so they could not follow him. Wang Chengzhu, on the other hand, had nothing to do and went directly to accompany Captain Ding to find Cheng Xiazi.

.

Following the regiment commander out of the trench, he quickly arrived at a small village a few kilometers away on a fast horse.

At this time, Cheng Chenghuan of the 772nd Regiment received an order from the brigade commander. Once the new regiment could not hold on, they had to follow.

When he saw Ding Wei rushing into his command post with a face full of shell dust, Cheng Chenghuan suddenly became anxious. The fight had only lasted less than two hours, and the new regiment couldn't hold it anymore?

"What? Old Ding, you want to borrow cannonballs?!"

Cheng Chenghuan also came from the Fourth Front Army. He was in the same class as Li Yunlong, so he naturally knew Ding Wei.

When Cheng Chenghuan knew that Ding Wei was going to borrow artillery shells to hit the Little Japanese artillery position, he was shocked.
