The reason why Wang Xuexin did not move was because Zhou Yuankai was not ready yet.
It took Zhou Yuankai some time to change positions, and then it took some time to set up the launch pad in the woods, so they were not ready when the Japanese opened fire.
But even if Zhou Yuankai was ready, Wang Xuexin had no intention of firing.
"Calm down!" Wang Xuexin said: "This is just a small fish!"
"Batalion Commander!" Chen Songyong reported: "The regiment commander called..."
Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "No answer!"
Wang Xuexin didn't need to answer the call to know that Li Yunlong was in a hurry and called to ask the aviation force to blow up his mother.
But is this a problem that aviation can solve?
You must know that it is the Japanese heavy artillery position, and several air defense regiments have been deployed around it. Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns are already there, waiting for the aviation force to appear.
What could the Eighth Route Army Air Force do? Jump into the trap even though they knew it was a trap?
Of course it’s impossible!
The aircraft at this time was actually still very fragile.
In fact, aircraft of any era are fragile.
Planes are used to hit bullets and artillery shells, and their advantage is speed.
Defending the enemy's air defense forces head-on would undoubtedly be the stupidest act.
Wang Xuexin waited for more than an hour, when Chen Songyong reported: "Batalion Commander, the 'Gaohuo' is ready, please launch!"
Wang Xuexin did not agree. He still said the same thing: "Waiting for orders!"
"Batalion Commander!" Chen Songyong was a little confused: "If this continues, Yuncheng may not be able to withstand it!"
Wang Xuexin picked out one piece of information and handed it to Chen Songyong, asking: "Did you see anything?"
Chen Songyong took a look and said: "The Japanese artillery is scattered and the hit rate is not high. But the people of Yuncheng..."
"Fifty shots only hit a dozen!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Chen Songyong: "How long do you think the Japanese can fight like this?"
Chen Songyong said "Oh" and then understood.
On the battlefield, even if you know that concentrated use of artillery will easily cause casualties from enemy bombing, you still have to use it intensively. The reason is that the accuracy of artillery during this period is low, and you need to use "test firing" to guide the artillery fire of the entire artillery position into the target. area.
For example, if 23 heavy artillery pieces are concentrated in an artillery position, this means that these 23 heavy artillery pieces have almost the same starting point.
At this time, we only need the cooperation of scouts on the front line, and let one of the artillery test fire a few shells. After successfully hitting the target area, the other artillery will all fire with the same number, so the shells can hit the target area in batches.
Once the artillery is dispersed, there will be no advantage in this regard, because each artillery has a different starting point, and the test firing data of other artillery have almost no reference value for it, so there are only more than fifty rounds of artillery shells and only a dozen or so rounds are fired. The situation in Yuncheng... it can be said that it is almost a matter of luck.
Modern artillery fires almost the same way, except that modern artillery uses artillery sighting radar. Artillery sighting radar can track the launch trajectory of artillery shells and achieve precise command of each dispersed position and provide accurate correction data.
"The devils are obviously attacking like this to lure our troops to open fire!" Wang Xuexin said: "If this happened before, we wouldn't have been able to do anything about it! But now, do the devils have so many shells to consume? Tell the regiment leader to bear with it a little longer. The drama lies behind!"
"Yes!" Chen Songyong understood after listening to Wang Xuexin's words.
Wang Xuexin was right. The enemy's attack looked scary, but in fact the damage to Yuncheng was very limited.
If the Japs had endless artillery shells, then the Eighth Route Army would really be unable to do anything to them. The Japs could just defeat Yuncheng with low hits.
But this is the Chinese battlefield.
At this time, the Japanese were fighting in the Pacific while launching attacks in Southeast Asian countries. How many Type 89 heavy artillery shells were there for him to do this?
Therefore, the competition at this time is not about equipment, but about who can keep calm.
Whoever can stay steady will have the last laugh.
Li Yunlong, on Wang Xuexin's side, was so angry after he encountered a soft nail. He threw the phone down and cursed: "Damn Xiao Dongbei, your wings have grown hard. I dare not answer my phone calls! Why?
Got you..."
"Old Li!" Zhao Gang advised from the side: "Xiao Dongbei is now commanding the entire Yuncheng defense line, and he is very busy right now! If you are still calling at this time, isn't that adding chaos?"
"What are you busy with?" Li Yunlong scolded with a stinky face: "I saw the plane, but it was just spinning around in the air and not flying over the Japs. It was said that there were Japs' air defense troops in front... If there were air defense troops, it wouldn't be necessary.
Are we going up? Then we infantry can stop going up if we know there are enemies ahead!"
Li Yunlong saw the plane patrolling the Zhaojiaba airspace. He secretly resented that the Japanese artillerymen were just ahead. Flying up and dropping a few bombs would make him look good, but they didn't... only made Li Yunlong anxious.
I called Xiao Dongbei on the spot.
Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, don't worry! Isn't this just the beginning of the fight..."
"Can I not be in a hurry?" Li Yunlong pushed the window of the headquarters hard, and there were faint explosions of several artillery shells outside: "Listen, listen! The Japanese artillery shells have all hit our door.
Here it comes! If this were on the battlefield, the sound of gunfire would be nothing, but this is Yuncheng, and my fellow villagers cannot withstand the bombing!"
Zhao Gang also frowned when he heard this.
The bombardment of Yuncheng not only caused the loss of financial resources and lives in Yuncheng, but more importantly...
Yuncheng had already been lost to the Jinsui Army twice, and the Japs went on a killing spree after entering the city, which left a shadow on the hearts of the people in Yuncheng.
After the Eighth Route Army entered Yuncheng, it finally stabilized the people's hearts and allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment.
But now...
Therefore, Zhao Gang actually understands Li Yunlong's mood very well.
If the aviation troops in Xiaodongbei don't dispatch to suppress these heavy artillery, the people of Yuncheng will riot sooner or later and choose to flee.
At this moment, the correspondent took the phone and shouted from a few meters away: "Captain, Staff Chen is calling!"
Li Yunlong knew that Staff Chen was Xiao Dongbei's assistant. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed the phone to identify himself. Then he asked in a face-to-face manner: "Consultant Chen, are we going to take action?"
Chen Songyong replied: "That's almost it, commander! The battalion commander asks you to calm down, the fun is coming! In addition, we must stabilize the people and don't panic! Trust the battalion commander, he has a way to deal with it!"
With that said, Chen Songyong hung up the phone.
Li Yunlong slammed the phone and cursed: "Damn it, it's another soft nail! If there is any way, why not just fly up the plane and blow it up hard? Where are the rockets of the aviation team! This
Why use it when you don’t need it! How about keeping the raw eggs?”
