Chapter 591: Destroy the Japanese artillery positions!
There is a flat area on the road about 4 kilometers away from Xiaoliang Mountain.
The Japanese army's 16 mountain guns and field guns were arranged in two rows, aiming in the direction of Xiaoliang Mountain.
Behind the Guizishan artillery emplacement are ammunition boxes stacked like a hill.
The Japanese artillery was busy, and from time to time a few Type 94 trucks would bring loads of artillery shells from the direction of Heyuan County.
The flames of the artillery flashed occasionally, and the shells streaked across the sky and hit Xiaoliang Mountain.
Now the Japanese army has stopped attacking, but the Japanese artillery fire has not stopped, firing artillery shells at the Xiaoliangshan position from time to time.
Although the 10th Division has an artillery regiment under its jurisdiction, it has to resist the three-pronged attack of the New Regiment, so there is only one mountain artillery battalion and one mountain field gun in this direction, plus four mountain cannons from the 40th Infantry Regiment.
The firepower of the 16 mountain guns was quite good, which caused a lot of trouble for the new regiment's attack.
During the attack of the new regiment, a Spitfire tank and a Panther tank were destroyed by artillery shells, and hundreds of soldiers were killed and injured.
They are all thanks to the Japanese cannons in the mountains.
In a small hill nearly 400 meters away from the Guizishan field artillery position, a "Japanese" soldier was lying here, alerting the surroundings.
These two people were Wang Yousheng and Wang Xikui.
After Wang Yousheng became Lu Yingjun's guard, Lu Yingjun personally taught him his skills, and later he was sent to the Sharp Sword Squadron for intensive training by Lu Yingjun.
With physical strength superior to ordinary people and extraordinary courage, as well as the skills taught to him by Lu Yingjun, Wang Yousheng successfully became a special soldier of the Sword Squadron.
There are now more than 80 people in the Sharp Sword Squadron, all of whom are masters and have their own special skills.
Wang Yousheng, on the other hand, is relatively outstanding in all aspects, and he has only been in the army for less than half a year, and already more than one Japanese has died at his hands.
Of course, compared with veterans like Wang Xikui, Wang Yousheng is still far behind.
If Wang Xikui were allowed to participate in a regular battle, he would kill more than one Japanese in one battle.
And now Wang Xikui speaks Japanese so fluently that even the Japanese can't recognize the accent.
Sizzle...
A buzzing sound came from the high-power walkie-talkie. Wang Xikui gave Wang Yousheng a look. Wang Yousheng nodded, and his eyes immediately raised his alertness to the surroundings.
Later, Wang Xikui took out the microphone of the high-power walkie-talkie from his sack and put it to his ear, and heard Duan Peng calling into the receiver:
"Call Xizi! Call Xizi!"
Wang Xikui lowered his voice and said: "I am Wang Xikui!"
"Xizi!" Duan Peng said, "The regimental commander ordered that your reconnaissance team immediately contact the artillery group and blow up the Japanese mountain artillery positions that have been raised for years."
"Yes!" Wang Xikui hung up the call, immediately changed the channel, and then called: "Call the artillery group, call the artillery group!"
Since the conversation was via a walkie-talkie, not a radio, there was no need to speak code words or dialects during the conversation, and there was no need to worry about being monitored by the Japanese.
"The artillery group received it, I am the heavy artillery battalion commander Yao Shangwen!"
Soon, Yao Shangwen's voice came from the microphone.
Wang Xikui continued to lower his voice and said: "I am Wang Xikui of the Sharp Sword Squadron, targeting the Japanese artillery position."
"Shoot Zhu Yuan, the ruler is six hundred and seventy-seven, and to the right is zero and fifty-four!"
"10 howitzers per shot."
"put!"
As Wang Xikui finished writing, there was a bang from the microphone in Wang Xikui's ear. He knew that it was a 10mm howitzer on his own artillery position that fired.
After about ten seconds, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
Wang Xikui quickly took out the telescope from the sack and observed the location of the bullet's impact point.
Seeing the impact point, Wang Xikui immediately called out again: "Minus seven on the ruler, zero fifty to the right, let go!"
After another ten seconds, another sharp whistling sound came from the sky. This shell hit the Japanese artillery position. In the explosion, a Type 94 mountain cannon was lifted up and flew up. A dozen Japanese artillerymen around it
Being swept up by the air wave, the Japanese artillery at the center of the explosion was instantly blown into a blood-red mist.
"Heavy artillery battery, ten-round salvo, let go!"
Seeing this, Wang Xikui immediately shouted in a low voice.
The Japanese artillerymen of the 10th Division were highly qualified and knew that the location of their own artillery positions must have been leaked.
The previous two separate shells were test firings, which provided a reference for shooting Zhuyuan's revision before the official bombardment.
At this time, the Japanese artillery was unwilling to give up mountain artillery and field artillery, and wanted to move the artillery position.
But the 7mm mountain gun and 7mm field gun are not Type 92 infantry guns. A few artillerymen can pull them up with a rope and fly.
It takes several minutes to disassemble the fixed-position 7mm mountain gun and field gun.
Upon seeing this, the Japanese artillery battalion captain quickly ordered the artillerymen to retreat and leave the artillery position, but it was already too late.
A 10mm howitzer from the heavy artillery battalion of the New Regiment fired 10 salvos at the Japanese mountain artillery position.
The 10mm high-explosive grenade projectiles made a sharp whistling sound across the sky, and the shells landed on the Japanese artillery position.
Boom boom boom...
The Japanese artillery position immediately erupted into a huge fireball and explosion smoke.
…
"The brigade commander, the tank group and the 40th Regiment Infantry Group are ready and can attack the enemy at any time!"
In the brigade headquarters, Chief of Staff Nobuo Binfu was reporting to Saburo Miura.
The tank brigade has a total of 1 tank, although the Eighth Route New Regiment is equipped with anti-tank weapons and heavy tanks.
Miura Saburo also knew that these tanks were there to deliver food, but now there was no other way.
If the position cannot be regained, the new regiment will be able to advance straight in.
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion a few kilometers behind, like a thunderous rumble.
The confused Miura Saburo looked back and saw that the Eighth Route Army was attacking from behind?
After a while, there was another violent explosion, and Miura Saburo's face became more confused: "What's going on?"
"Brigade commander, this explosion seems to be coming from the artillery position."
The chief of staff on the side, Ohno Binfu, said.
"Nani? Artillery position?" Miura Saburo suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Ask immediately what happened to the artillery position!"
The Japanese telephone soldier on the side immediately grabbed the phone and shook the handle vigorously.
After a while, the telephone soldier bowed his head and reported to Miura Saburo: "The artillery position was under shelling!"
"Baga! Order the artillery positions to move immediately!" The expressions of Miura Saburo and Ohno Binfu changed drastically at the same time.
The artillery firepower is far inferior to that of the 8th New Regiment. If the artillery positions are destroyed, the remaining troops of the 8th Brigade will be even less able to block the attack of the New Regiment.
However, the reality is that the more you are afraid of something, the more likely it is.
The telephone soldier had just given the order to the rear artillery position when a series of dense explosions like landslides and earth-shattering sounds came from the direction of the artillery position.
Miura Saburo held up his telescope and saw large expanses of explosion smoke rising from the artillery position.
"idiot!"
Seeing this scene, Miura Saburo couldn't help but became furious.
Based on the sound of the explosion, Miura Saburo and Ohno Binfu immediately determined that it was the 10mm howitzer of the Eighth Route New Regiment that was shelling their own artillery positions.
At this moment, a dense explosion suddenly came from directly ahead.
The faces of Saburo Miura and Binfu Ohno suddenly became extremely ugly, and the new Eighth Route Army regiment began to attack again.
