Wang Xuexin just glanced at the victory report and put it aside. The victory in Jiulian Town had been expected by him... If the Japs launched the attack at night, they might have to worry. After all, anti-tank missiles cannot fight at night, but if the Japs
Since the attack was launched during the day, those "Tiger Style" attacks would definitely be more dangerous than disaster.
Wang Xuexin's attention has always been on Niangziguan. He arranged some hidden sentries on the edge of the mountainous area in advance, so that when the Japanese special forces approached the artillery fort and approached the artillery detection radar, they would have more time to prepare.
But the strange thing is that the enemy has never been found.
Wang Xuexin couldn't help but frowned... Could it be that the Japanese were frightened by the failure of Jiulian Town? If so, Naosaburo Okabe was too timid!
Or, the Japanese had no intention of attacking Niangziguan from the beginning?
Is all this just Wang Xuexin’s misunderstanding?
Wang Xuexin had doubts about his judgment, because if the Japanese had a plan to attack Niangziguan, they should show up now!
At this moment, Chen Songyong, who was guarding the radio station, raised his head in shock and reported: "Commander, here we come! The enemy... actually has a helicopter!"
"Helicopter?" Wang Xuexin was startled by Chen Songyong's words.
"Yes!" Chen Songyong replied: "They are very similar to our helicopters. There are ten of them in total. They fly at low altitudes and rappel directly to our army's artillery reconnaissance radar and artillery positions!"
Wang Xuexin nodded. No wonder the Japanese didn't show up until now. With a helicopter, there was no need to travel thousands of miles across a large mountainous area.
Chen Songyong was a little strange: "Captain, how come the Japanese can produce helicopters? And they are the same as ours. Did they steal it from us?"
This problem is very serious. If it was learned secretly from the Eighth Route Army, it means that there are spies among the military and industrial personnel of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Wang Xuexin knew that this was not the case...The Japanese probably obtained the technology of the "Dragon" helicopter from Hans.
The reason why it is the same as that of the Eighth Route Army is because Wang Xuexin also made it based on the "Dragon" helicopter.
The difference is that the "Dragon" helicopter only uses two engines while the Eighth Route Army's VS300V uses four engines.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin replied: "Probably not. Even if the Japanese stole from us, they would not have developed a helicopter so quickly. They should have obtained the core technology and parts from Hans!"
When Wang Xuexin said this, Chen Songyong also felt that it made sense. The reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to develop helicopters so quickly was because it was based on Yingjiang's helicopters and technology. The Japanese had never heard of helicopters. Today, they suddenly
More than a dozen planes appeared... more likely like the "Tiger" because of Hans' help.
After waiting for a while, a communications soldier reported: "Commander, the battle has begun! The Japs are moving very quickly. Commander Chen believes that the Japs may have received special mountain combat training!"
Commander Chen is the commander of the artillery regiment stationed in Niangziguan. His full name is Chen Yongping. He originally worked as an artilleryman for the stubborn army in Henan Province. He has already served as the commander of the artillery battalion. He can't stand the stubborn army's style and can't stand the passive attitude of the stubborn army.
The way of fighting the war.
He wrote in the report: "Being a man must be upright, and fighting the Japanese must be fun and cheerful, just like the weak and weak soldiers, which is boring!"
Especially after seeing the corruption of the stubborn army in responding to the disaster in Henan, Chen Yongping made up his mind to part ways with the stubborn army. On the same day, he packed up his luggage and mixed in with the refugees and fled to the area under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army.
After joining the Eighth Route Army, because Chen Yongping had rich artillery command experience, he was promoted to the commander of the artillery regiment in just a few months. Now he has become the commander of the artillery regiment with artillery detection radar... The Eighth Route Army can be equipped with artillery detection radar.
The artillery regiment is different, because when it is equipped with artillery detection radar, it must also be fully equipped with M30 howitzers. Otherwise, it will use mortars, self-produced ghost cannons or infantry guns captured from the Japanese.
Therefore, those who can change equipment must be the elite artillery troops.
However, the artillery troops are trained more in artillery drills, and the radar troops are more technical troops without much combat effectiveness. They are definitely no match against the Japanese special forces.
Wang Xuexin did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Order the artillery troops to retreat as planned!"
"yes!"
The next second, the radio station came with the signal soldier's shout: "Dongguai Yao, retreat immediately! Repeat, retreat immediately!"
Chen Yongping on the other side hesitated for a moment.
People's thoughts are sometimes very strange. When Chen Yongping was the battalion commander of the stubborn army, the order he liked to hear the most was "retreat." As soon as he heard this order, he immediately pulled up the cannon and left without thinking.
But it was different when it came to the Eighth Route Army. Chen Yongping would consider whether the current situation was suitable for retreat.
After the war, Chen Yongping recalled this change and said that this was "the difference between Jue Zhi and the growing environment!"
This is indeed the case. Everyone in the stubborn army is thinking about themselves. Is it useful for people with ideals and ambitions to dedicate themselves? Not only is it useless, but they will also be regarded as fools!
But in the Eighth Route Army, thinking about the overall situation is the norm, and over time Chen Yongping has become accustomed to it.
Chen Yongping replied: "Commander, we have just received fire. Isn't it too obvious that we should retreat immediately? If it is a stubborn army, that is no problem, but we are the Eighth Route Army..."
Wang Xuexin thought it was right. The Eighth Route Army would not retreat so quickly, even if the artillery was attacked by the enemy.
If we retreat as soon as we hit you, there is no guarantee that the Japanese will not become suspicious!
Wang Xuexin nodded: "Okay, you can retreat according to the situation, and be careful to seize the opportunity, so as not to be unable to retreat by the time!"
"yes!"
Chen Yongping responded and made up his mind to direct the battle.
It is very difficult to command this battle well, because they are all artillerymen, and their combat qualities are not at the same level as the Japanese special forces.
On the other hand, Chen Yongping's regiment is called a regiment. In fact, the troops are scattered in different highlands along with the artillery. Some highlands have only one artillery squad, and some highlands have an artillery battery... It is difficult to command both.
However, Chen Yongping remained calm in the face of danger, and he immediately thought of a way to fight the Japanese.
"All of them!" Chen Yongping ordered: "Report the enemy's coordinates to the friendly forces and use artillery to cover each other!"
"yes!"
The soldiers responded, then thought that artillery could still be used... Although the enemy in front of them couldn't be hit because they were too close to the artillery fort, the friendly artillery on another high ground could. Similarly, their own artillery could also provide cover for friendly forces.
.
So within a few dozen seconds, the sound of cannons started, and there was a "bang", you hit this side and I hit the other side, and it exploded into pieces.
Although the Japanese had learned mountain warfare from the special forces, they had never learned how to block artillery shells. They were blown to pieces for a while...
