Chapter five hundred and ninety second extravagant shelling
"Commander, are you mistaken? I remember that we don't have artillery, only two mortars, and you personally take aim and fire every time!" Xiong Changhe immediately asked.
"It didn't happen before, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future. I will set up the artillery unit now!" Wang Ping replied in a surprising way.
"Chen Dong, the only platoon commander of our new regiment who has served as an artilleryman and can use cannons. From now on, he will be the artillery company commander of our new regiment!"
"But we don't have artillery, and we only have two mortars, and we don't have enough artillery to form an artillery battery?" Xiong Changhe continued to ask.
"There are several captured puppet troops who can shoot artillery, and five people from each of the two companies will be selected to supplement the artillery company as the backbone!" Wang Ping blurted out what he was thinking directly, without any concealment.
Then he continued: "As for the cannon, I have already gone to the direct team to look for it in the ruins ahead. I should be able to find something soon!"
"The Japanese brought in six mortars. Even if some of them are blown up, three of them should be left!"
"Including our own two, there are a total of five or six mortars, which should be able to set up the frame of the artillery company!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Guangxin from the investigation team rushed over.
"Captain, we are rich again!"
"A total of 4 mortars, 2 heavy machine guns, and 5 light machine guns were found... These were all found on the surface of the ruins. There are also many weapons buried in the ruins, especially in the gun towers. At least four were buried.
Heavy machine gun!"
Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe were shocked again. Before they could react, Wang Ping had already replied: "It's useless if it's buried. Even if it is dug out, it will definitely be smashed, and we don't have the time to dig!"
"Xiao Yunshan, your Second Company suffered greater losses. When we break out, you can take charge of all the prisoners we just captured. Let them each carry fifty kilograms of grain or a box of bullets and retreat with us. If you are not honest, you can
Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, kill two prisoners!"
"Xiong Changhe, after the bombardment is over, your first company will take the lead. I will provide you with sufficient artillery cover. While the enemy is stunned, rush up immediately and create a breakthrough, and then the covering troops will rush over quickly!"
"All the remaining Japanese troops still have three mortars in their hands. If they want to break out, they must be killed first.
So, without waiting too long, the two mortars equipped by the new regiment started firing.
The shrieking shells seemed to have eyes, hitting the Japanese defense line directly, blowing away a machine gun and two Japanese machine gunners.
Major Ida was awakened immediately and saw the fireballs and black smoke rising from the position. He shouted loudly: "Bagoya Road is a mortar. Tubal Road is actually equipped with mortars! They are firing now,
You must want to break out!"
"Don't we still have a mortar team? Counterattack immediately and kill the new artillery regiment! They don't have many people, and they definitely don't have many artillery pieces!"
Three mortars equipped by the Japanese quickly began to counterattack.
But they didn't know that just when they were about to fire, the two cannons fired by the new regiment had moved dozens of meters away and formed a mortar formation together with the remaining four mortars. Wang Ping personally took charge of the firing.
Gunner, make sure to aim at the Japanese artillery position.
After all six mortars were aimed at the target, the six temporary gunners selected by Wang Ping each held a shell with a good fuse in their hands and placed it on the muzzle, waiting for the order to fire.
"The cannon fires five rounds rapidly, and shoots out the shells as quickly as possible!"
The three Japanese mortar groups were still firing shells at the previous positions.
The six artillery shells that fell from the sky caught the Japanese off guard. Half of the gunners had no time to react and were blown over.
The gunner who was still alive immediately fell to the ground, trying to escape.
However, the rate of fire of the mortars was too fast. In less than a minute, a full thirty shells hit them, leaving them unable to hide.
"Bagaya Road, how is it possible? Isn't there only more than a hundred people in the new regiment? Why are they equipped with so many mortars, my artillery!" Major Ida's face turned pale at a glance, and he shouted with a look of despair.
However, this is just the beginning.
A group of six mortar shells rained down on the blockade, overturning several Imperial and Imperial Alliance troops. Major Ida's already pale face turned even paler.
Shimiao Town is surrounded by plains and there is no danger to defend it.
The defense line surrounding the new group is a simple defense line formed with a machine gun bunker stacked with sandbags as the center.
Such a bunker position can block bullets fired from the front, but cannot block mortar shells falling from the sky.
More importantly, although the power of mortar shells is not great, it still has no problem at all in destroying machine gun bunkers made of sandbags.
In this case, as long as the new regiment has enough artillery shells, it can open a gap in the blockade with just six mortars.
"Captain, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, we can't withstand it at all!" The adjutant next to him also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately stared at Major Ida and asked.
For the first time, Major Ida felt a deep sense of powerlessness on the battlefield.
Shaking his head, he replied with a helpless expression: "I don't have cannons, and I can't ask for aircraft support, so there's nothing I can do!"
"To reinforce the breach where the new regiment is shelling is no different than to die!"
"Counterattack is useless. The two hundred imperial troops and two companies of the Imperial Association Army who rushed in just now are destined to die. What's more, it is impossible for us to gather so many troops to rush in now."
Soon, the defense line, which included an infantry squad and most of the puppet army company, received fifty or sixty artillery shells.
In the violent explosion, the entire blockade was directly covered by thick smoke.
At this time, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers suddenly rushed out of the town. Although there were not many people, almost all of the seven or eight people at the front were armed with a light machine gun. During the entire charge, four light machine guns were fired from beginning to end.
shooting.
"The Eighth Route Army has begun to break out. Send an infantry squad up immediately to block the gap!" Major Ida immediately seized the opportunity and ordered.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly assembled and rushed toward the gap, screaming.
When Major Ida and all the other Japanese and puppet troops were staring at the gap, the scream of artillery shells that they least expected to hear sounded again.
This time only three shells fell, but their accuracy was very good and they hit directly in the middle of the reinforcements.
"Boom, boom, boom!" In the violent explosion, seven or eight Japanese soldiers were instantly blown over.
"Spread the reinforcements and don't gather them together!" Major Ida ordered hurriedly.
However, no matter how they dispersed, the cannonballs in groups of three always followed them. One of the cannonballs in particular seemed to have eyes and was chasing them.
When they finally reached the gap, the reinforcements of more than 40 people were dead and injured, and only less than 20 were left!
