Chapter 511 The Mysterious Opponent Is the Scariest
Seeing Huang Yu frowning and not answering, Duan Peng thought he had missed something again and quickly asked: "Batalion Commander, was what I just said wrong?"
"The analysis is fine!" Huang Yu shook his head and explained.
"But Zhang Xuan and the others will definitely not be able to hold on for too long... We must take action before the Japs launch the second round of attacks, otherwise South Korea Village will definitely be occupied by the Japs!"
As he spoke, he looked around, and finally stopped at a wasteland two hundred meters ahead.
"We went there to fake artillery...all eight mortars were aimed at the Guizishan artillery position. Each gun fired five shells, fired them out as fast as possible, and then moved away..."
"The Japanese are equipped with more artillery than we are. If we want to avoid being targeted by them, we must fire and move fast enough!"
The Japanese army attacked the position and looked at the South Korean village in front of them that was once again covered by artillery fire. The serious expression on the captain's face finally relaxed.
Every place in the village where people could hide was bombed, and with this round of artillery fire in front of them, the steel could be blown into iron shavings, let alone the flesh and blood Eighth Route Army.
The captain is full of hope for his next attack...
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions suddenly sounded behind him. When he turned around, he saw a large amount of black smoke rising from the mountain cannon position. A dozen gunners fell on the gun position, and a mountain cannon was blown over...
"Baga..." The captain was shocked and ordered while cursing!
"The enemy also has mortars...a lot of them...immediately lock on to their artillery positions and blow them up...quickly counterattack...bombing..."
Before the order was finished, the second round of shells had already been dropped...
In the billowing smoke, another mountain cannon was blown over, and more gunners fell than before.
When the mortar squadron received the counterattack order and began to adjust the mortar firing personnel, the third round of shells fell from the sky again...
In just half a minute, the Japanese mountain artillery position received forty shells, and nearly 70% of the shells hit the target. Even if one shell only killed two Japanese, these shells also killed and injured more than fifty Japanese...
The losses of the Guizishan Artillery Squadron were obviously more than that small...
Another half minute passed before the Japanese mortar squadron began to counterattack. At this moment, the losses of the mountain artillery squadron were reported to the group leader.
"Sir, in the artillery raid just now, the mountain artillery squadron lost four mortars and 89 gunners... 71 of them were killed on the spot, and the remaining 18 gunners were seriously injured and unable to continue participating in the battle!"
"The mountain artillery squadron has almost lost its combat effectiveness. Please ask the captain to avenge them..."
"Something's wrong... there's something wrong with the information your Excellency the General provided to us!" Looking at the mountain artillery position behind him with corpses and artillery parts strewn all over the place, the captain roared like an angry lion.
"Intelligence says that there are only three or four mortars left in the Duer Regiment... At least eight mortars were involved in the battle just now... The number of artillery pieces alone is not enough..."
"Only when we know ourselves and our enemies can we win every battle... We don't even know how many troops our opponents have and how many weapons they are equipped with. If we urgently need reinforcements for Shunping County, we will definitely suffer a big loss!"
The adjutant thought for a moment and replied: "Sir, could it be that the Duer Regiment used the mortars captured from the Shunping County garrison to attack us?"
"Before we set off, Shunping County had defeated a reinforced squadron and lost two strongholds..."
"These troops alone are equipped with eight mortars and two mountain cannons!"
"The Duer Regiment is also equipped with three or four mortars. It shouldn't be difficult to gather eight mortars!"
The anger on the captain's face did not calm down because of this, and he continued to curse: "Even if your analysis is correct, the pressure on the quick reaction brigade in the next battle will be several times greater than before!"
"If the mortar squadron fails to destroy this artillery, they can hide one or two kilometers away and attack us from a long distance, which will definitely cause huge casualties to the troops!"
"It's like a mountain artillery squadron... faced with a sudden artillery attack, we were unable to defend ourselves. We were beaten out of combat effectiveness without even seeing the opponent clearly!"
After saying that, he raised his binoculars and looked towards the artillery position of the Duer Regiment.
Under the baptism of the mortar squadron, the place had been filled with smoke and thick smoke.
As long as the artillerymen of the Duer Regiment did not retreat, they would be blown away even if they were not dead.
"Let the artillery stop after one minute. There is an urgent need to shell the South Korean village... The enemy's artillery position is only so big. Just bomb it twice. If you bomb it any more, it will be a waste of shells!"
"The top priority now is to quickly capture Nanhan Village and rush to Shunping County..."
"I always feel like there is a pair of eyes around us staring at us... The longer the troops stay here, the greater the danger!"
The devil's execution ability is very strong, and it takes a minute to say it...
Another half minute later, the South Korean village was enveloped in gunfire again.
At this moment, the special operations team has moved to a position more than 100 meters due south of the previous artillery position.
Compared with just now, the troops had forty fewer artillery shells, and their load was significantly reduced.
"Battal Commander...the Guizishan artillery squadron has misfired...the mortar squadron has started firing at the South Korean village again!" Duan Peng caught up with Huang Yu and reported carrying a box of shells.
"I heard it!" Huang Yu seemed to have found the best way to attack the Japanese rapid reaction brigade, and he was obviously much more confident than before.
He glanced around and began to issue orders: "Set up artillery on the spot...aim at the Japanese mortar position..."
"Still the old rules, five rapid fire shots, then move after the shooting, the faster the better..."
"This time we will retreat to the north, so that the Japanese will not be able to figure out our retreat trajectory!"
After saying that, he quietly touched the edge of the Chaoqing gauze tent. Although there was nearly a kilometer away from the road, he could still clearly see every move of the other party with the help of a telescope.
The Japanese mortar position is right in front. More than a hundred gunners are scattered in various gun positions. Some are responsible for controlling the mortars, some are responsible for loading the shells, and some are responsible for putting fuses on the shells. It is very orderly and not at all.
chaos!
Eighty troop carriers were parked on the road next to them, with at least 500 Japanese guards on both sides of the vehicles, and other Japanese soldiers gathered in offensive positions!
Seventy or eighty cavalry were wandering around the battlefield in squad units, temporarily acting as security forces!
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as the sound of artillery sounded behind them, eight clouds of black smoke exploded from the Japanese artillery position. Two of the clouds of black smoke were located right next to the two gun emplacements. Several gunners were blown away together with the soil on the ground, and they fell to the ground without any movement.
…
It was only then that the violent explosion of artillery shells reached Huang Yu's ears...
Huang Yu did not continue looking, put away the telescope and stepped back...
When they returned to the artillery position, the special operations team had already begun to dismantle the mortar, and the faster team members had already picked up the mortar parts and began to retreat!
Ten seconds later, there was nothing left except four shell boxes...
The Japanese captain was going crazy. He pointed at the artillery position of the Duer Regiment and cursed loudly, demanding that the mortar squadron strike back immediately and kill the opponent...
As a result, I waited for a full minute this time before hearing the mortar squadron's counterattack, which was at least twice as weak as before.
Just as he was about to curse, his subordinates conveyed the bad news that more than half of the mortar squadron had been lost...
