Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "It's not dangerous here at all!"
"As long as you move, the battle at Songshan Pass will begin, and the enemy's attention will be drawn to you, and I will be safe here!"
"So, after arriving at Songshan Pass, you must fight with great fanfare. Use mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars for me. Use the most powerful firepower and offensive to capture Songshan Pass..."
The ability of the regiment leader Wang Ping is obvious to all in the new regiment, and the old subordinates are almost unconditionally convinced by his words.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, the worry on Rong Jun's face disappeared, and he replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, commander, I will lead the troops to kill Songshan Pass now and capture Songshan Pass!"
The Japanese garrison at Songshankou originally had only one squadron of Japanese garrison. Depending on the terrain, a stronghold was built on the high ground next to the road. With the central gun tower as the center, six bunkers of various sizes were built around it. Each bunker was equipped with a machine gun and
A class of little devils stood beside the road like an iron wall.
After an infantry brigade of Japanese troops came over, this position would definitely not be enough.
For other Eighth Route Army troops, bunkers and artillery towers were indestructible iron walls.
But in front of the new group, they can't gain much advantage.
They are equipped with mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain field artillery! In front of these artillery, the indestructible bunkers and gun towers cannot stand for long!
The captain of the brigade, Major Shengyun, was very aware of this situation. He arrived here at six o'clock in the afternoon and ordered the troops to build fortifications and defense lines around the stronghold based on the terrain.
At around 12 o'clock in the evening, the two trenches outside the stronghold had been completed, and the troops were using logs and sandbags to reinforce the fortifications.
"Bang~"
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard from several kilometers away.
Although the distance was far away, the sound of the gunfire was very small, and Major Shengyun could still hear it clearly.
He frowned and made a judgment: "It was the gunfire of the Empire-made Type 38 rifle. That location happened to be the outermost guard post we deployed~ The Eighth Route Army in the encirclement must have come over, and the guard post fired a warning shot at us!
"
Having said this, Major Shengyun's solemn expression turned excited and he shouted happily.
"This is really the great God Amaterasu who has favored us. The Eighth Route Army actually chose us to break out of the encirclement!"
"The terrain here is difficult. Even if they are equipped with a large number of artillery, they will not be able to capture our position before dawn!"
"Not to mention anything else, the two lines of defense we built outside the stronghold are enough to give the Eighth Route Army a hard time!"
"Order the first squadron and the second squadron to stop and rest immediately, replenish their strength, and prepare for battle...The third and fourth squadrons, seize the time to reinforce the fortifications!"
"Heavy machine guns and mortars will be directly reinforced to each squadron!"
"The infantry artillery, the mountain artillery reinforced by the division, is placed in the stronghold and is responsible for providing long-range artillery support to the troops!"
"My idea is very simple. Use the advantageous terrain here to hold on until dawn and severely damage the Eighth Route Army that attacks us. After dawn, the aviation force will come over and carry out a devastating air strike against the Eighth Route Army that attacks us!"
"At that time, the merit of killing the Eighth Route Army will belong to our brigade!"
In less than twenty minutes, a string of truck lights came into Major Shengyun's field of vision.
"No wonder the Eighth Route Army came so quickly. It turned out that they used cars to transport troops! The troops were ready for battle. The Eighth Route Army came to kill them!"
Soon, two flares were launched into the air, and the two defense lines outside the stronghold were exposed.
"Woooooo~"
Before Major Shengyun could react, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky sounded over the battlefield, and then a violent explosion sounded from the position!
"It's mortars. Six mortars are shelling our position!" Major Shengyun frowned and judged.
The mortars equipped by the two squadrons in the position immediately began to counterattack. The artillery shells from both sides came back and forth, trying to kill the other side and then dominate the entire battlefield.
At this moment, two infantry guns equipped by the fourth battalion opened fire.
Taking advantage of the range advantage, the two infantry guns were placed directly outside the limited range of the mortars, staring at the Japanese artillery positions.
If one of the infantry artillery shells, which are more powerful than mortar shells, hits, all the Japanese soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters will be blown over, causing heavy casualties.
If the shell directly hits the mortar and explodes, the huge power will instantly blow the mortar into scrap metal.
"Sir, the front line is reporting that the infantry artillery is beyond the range of the mortars. Please use mountain artillery to kill their infantry artillery!" the adjutant rushed to Major Shengyun's side and reported.
Major Shengyun, who had been witnessing the entire battlefield, also frowned.
"Infantry artillery is indeed a great threat to us!"
"Order the infantry artillery squad to counterattack immediately and kill those two infantry artillery pieces for me!"
The adjutant next to him immediately reminded: "Sir, do you want the mountain artillery squadron to fire directly? The mountain artillery is more powerful and has a numerical advantage. It only takes a few rounds of volleys to kill these two infantry cannons!"
"No~" Major Shengyun shook his head and replied.
"Until the Eighth Route Army has exposed all its trump cards, the trump cards in our hands cannot be exposed either."
The adjutant immediately reacted: "I understand! Sir, do you mean to say that the Eighth Route Army on the other side still has artillery?"
Major Shengyun shook his head and replied: "I don't know if there are other artillery pieces, but the mountain artillery squadron is our last trump card to defend Songshan Pass. We must not move it until the critical moment..."
Soon, the two infantry guns deployed by the Japanese at the stronghold opened fire.
Major Shengyun continued to hold up the telescope as before, staring at every move on the battlefield.
"Woooooooo..."
A series of piercing screams sounded through the sky, causing Major Shengyun's expression to change suddenly. His hands holding the telescope couldn't help but tremble, and he almost dropped the telescope on the ground!
"It's mountain artillery. The Eighth Route Army also has mountain artillery, and it has more mountain artillery than we do!" the adjutant, whose face also turned pale, subconsciously shouted.
"Boom boom boom~"
Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion sounded in the stronghold, and the dark stronghold was instantly illuminated by six fireballs.
"The Eighth Route Army indeed has a trump card. It has six mountain artillery pieces, two more than us... But I believe that our mountain artillery squadron can definitely kill their artillery. Captain, do you want the mountain artillery squadron to launch a counterattack immediately?"
"Counterattack, counterattack now, kill all the artillery exposed by the new group at all costs!"
After the order was issued, Major Shengyun showed a frightened expression on his face, and then said: "Fortunately, I was cautious and saved a hand. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army's six mountain cannons would bombard our four mountain cannons now. Once the Eighth Route Army's artillery unit won the battle,
, in front of the mountain artillery, the fortifications we worked so hard to build cannot withstand the bombardment at all!"
