The Japanese artillery had suffered many losses at the hands of Wang Ping, but they never had a long memory.
The Japanese artillery, which boasts that it is impossible to find an opponent on the Chinese battlefield, has always behaved very arrogantly and never looked down upon its opponents, especially the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army.
Although the new regiment counterattacked with as many as six mortars, and with those shelling the heavy machine gun positions in front, the number of mortars far exceeded theirs.
However, the artillery squadron commander did not take it seriously.
He only has one idea now, revenge. Eliminate the Eighth Route Army artillery unit and wash away the shame the other party has brought to him.
In less than half a minute, all six mortars were aimed at the artillery position where the new mortar company had moved.
"Fire artillery. It cannot stop without my order. I want to destroy the new artillery regiment!"
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of on on the artillery positions that the artillery company had just evacuated, setting off several fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke.
Wang Ping, who was not far away, stared at the empty space after the bombing. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "The little devils don't have a long memory, and they don't even know how to move their positions. In this case, just kill them!"
After saying that, Wang Ping started to set up the artillery himself.
Because he was afraid that the Japanese would temporarily relocate his position, Wang Ping, who personally controlled a cannon, made some adjustments and fired the first shell.
"Captain, thirty meters to the east is the Japanese artillery position!" the commander of the running company immediately reminded.
"Attention to all artillery positions, the range is 1040 meters, eastward... All adjustments should be made according to these principles. Fire immediately, five rounds of rapid fire, and then move quickly!"
Although the shells fired by Wang Ping did not hit the Japanese artillery position, they woke up the angry squadron leader!
"No, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has moved to a new position. We are locked by them. Move now, move quickly!"
The reaction speed of the Japanese gunners was very fast. It only took less than half a minute to dismantle each gun, put it on the shoulder and retreat to the surrounding area.
The flying speed of the artillery shells was faster. In the end, more than thirty gunners were blown away, and the mortar parts were also blown to pieces, resulting in the direct loss of two mortars.
"Guerrilla warfare, is this the artillery guerrilla warfare often used by the Eighth Route Army!" Just a few seconds after withdrawing, the shelling stopped. The squadron leader knew that the opponent must be moving the artillery position to avoid being targeted by his position, and then suddenly thought of his superiors
He shouted with a look of sudden realization about the Eighth Route Army's combat style that had been issued.
"On Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is indeed a very cunning opponent. The artillery attack can also be used as a guerrilla attack!"
"However, you can use it, and so can the imperial army. Today I will use the guerrilla warfare you are good at to kill you!"
If the Japanese had the same number of mortars, they would definitely be able to do it with their rich combat experience.
However, they didn't. Four mortars faced off against six mortars from the new regiment, and Wang Ping was personally in charge, which meant that the Japs could only draw a tie.
Ten mortars plotted against each other on the battlefield. When fighting guerrillas, the three guns in a battery were like target practice, blasting the Japanese heavy machine gun groups into the sky one after another.
"The artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and the losses of light and heavy machine guns were too great. We simply cannot bear it!" The huge losses made the squadron leader show a very painful expression on his face.
The deputy captain also looked heartbroken: "Sir, we must find a way to solve this problem. We brought eight heavy machine guns, and now there are only three left!"
"Although we have asked all machine gun groups not to stay in one position for more than one minute. However, the heavy machine guns are too heavy and the transfer speed is very slow. Many heavy machine guns were targeted by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army before they could move!"
"If the transfer frequency of the heavy machine gun is higher, the heavy machine gun will not have time to fire at all and will not be able to suppress the enemy."
The squadron leader gritted his teeth and replied: "We must ensure strong enough heavy machine gun firepower. Otherwise, we will definitely not be able to stop the eight-pronged attack by relying solely on light machine guns!"
"Report to the captain immediately, we need four more heavy machine guns here!"
"Also, no matter what the reason is, the frequency of transfer of heavy machine guns will continue to increase. Light machine guns will also continue to be transferred. As far as I know, light machine guns are also losing a lot now!"
Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang is no longer as arrogant as he was at the beginning.
Reports from his frontline subordinates made him realize that the ongoing battle near the station did not seem to be an ordinary sneak attack.
The powerful offensive firepower and offensive methods displayed by the new group told him that this was a strong attack.
The enemy plans to storm their base here and destroy themselves.
"Bageya Road, I must be overthinking it. What capital does the Eighth Route Army have to attack us? I have so many troops. Even if the Eighth Route Army dispatches a main division, it can't destroy my first brigade!" Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang said to himself.
shouted.
Suddenly, a lieutenant with a wounded shoulder rushed over: "Sir, the artillery fire from the 8th Route was too fierce. Our heavy machine guns suffered heavy losses and we are in urgent need of reinforcements!"
"The captain asked me to report that we still need four heavy machine guns to suppress the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower and block them!"
Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang could hardly believe his ears.
After only fighting for a long time, his subordinates sent people to ask for help. At this rate of loss, even if he had a thousand men, he would not be able to withstand the loss.
At this time, he suddenly thought of his artillery, stared at the adjutant, and asked.
"Where are the artillery? What do artillery do? It's been so long, why haven't we killed the artillery on the Eighth Route Army yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an officer from the artillery squadron rushed over.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, we were fooled!"
"They hid a large number of useless mortars. After our artillery fired, they suddenly opened fire and hit our artillery position directly!"
"The artillery squadron has suffered heavy losses now. The remaining artillery can only shoot at the Eighth Route Artillery and cannot provide artillery support to the infantry!"
Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang was stunned for ten seconds before he realized: "We have been fooled. The new regiment has no intention of sneak attack on us tonight. They are attacking us by force and intend to destroy us here, Bagya Road!"
"How many heavy machine guns did you just say your squadron leader wanted? Give them all to you, you have to hold them back for me!"
After the two subordinates left, the deputy captain was stunned.
Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang's judgment shocked him. The New Regiment, an infantry regiment that had been severely damaged and was about to be wiped out, actually had the guts to attack a well-equipped infantry group of the imperial army. What did it rely on?
What confidence does he have to make such an arrogant decision...
"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of more violent explosions suddenly reached their ears.
"Baga, it's a mountain cannon. There are four mountain cannons shooting at the same time. Tubal Road is actually equipped with mountain cannons!" Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang, who made a quick judgment, shouted with disbelief.
The deputy captain showed an expression of sudden realization: "A mountain artillery squadron? I understand, this mountain artillery squadron is the confidence for the new regiment to have the courage to attack us, it must be like this!"
