In the pocket formation prepared by Hong Linfeng for the Japanese army, he immediately understood when he saw that the Japanese and puppet troops did not follow him to kill him.
"Company Commander, the Japanese were not fooled. How should we fight next?"
"Continue to boil the frogs in warm water and consume their escort troops!" Li Hao replied with a stern face.
"I have ordered the guards to line up behind to destroy the road and slow down the march of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"As for us, if the enemy changes, we will change. If trying to force the tiger away from the mountain doesn't work, then we will find a way to force them to divide their forces!"
"The purpose of these little devils is to safely deliver six artillery pieces and twenty carts of ammunition to Lingqiu. If these artillery pieces and ammunition are in danger, they will not complete their mission even if they reach Lingqiu alive, and they will definitely come to find us.
Fight hard!”
"This time, let the artillery platoon play the leading role. All three mortars were set up and aimed at the road."
"When the Japanese convoy comes over, fire five rounds of rapid fire from each gun and try to blow up two ammunition trucks!"
"Let the little Japanese escort troops know: If we don't send troops to kill or drive away our artillery platoon, as long as our artillery platoon is on this road, the ammunition and artillery they escort will not reach Lingqiu City!"
Hong Linfeng hesitated and reminded: "Company commander, don't forget, the Japs also have cannons, a total of six mountain cannons. What if they use mountain cannons to counterattack!"
"No!" Li Hao answered with certainty.
"As long as the Japanese commander has any sense, he will not use mountain artillery to fight back!"
"Although mountain cannons are powerful and have a long range, when it comes to close range shooting with mortars, six mountain cannons are no match for our three mortars!"
"The rate of fire of mountain artillery is too slow. Just aiming takes twice as long as that of mortars, and it is more troublesome to move."
"If we really start to shoot at each other, we will retreat before their mountain artillery can lock on the target, but we can easily lock on to their artillery position and fire to kill them before they move!"
Hong Linfeng replied with a look of realization: "It's true!"
"To put it this way, the use of mountain artillery on the battlefield is not as good as that of mortars. It is not the opponent of mortars, and it is heavy and difficult to transport and transfer!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Each has its own role, and no one can replace the other!"
"The mortar has a fast rate of fire and mainly kills the enemy with fragments. It can be used on the battlefield to suppress the enemy and cause a lot of damage to the enemy! However, it cannot damage the enemy's fortifications, let alone destroy the enemy's bunkers, but the mountain cannon can easily do this.
a little."
"As for the problem that the mountain cannon is too heavy to be transported and transferred, once you capture it, you will find that in addition to being pulled by mules and horses on the road, the mountain cannon can also be broken into several parts and carried on the mountain roads by mules and horses, which is very suitable for us.
The Eighth Route Army is fighting!”
"Boom boom boom..."
Three rounds of artillery shells arrived as promised and hit the middle of the Japanese and puppet army's baggage convoy.
In the violent explosion, several Japanese and puppet soldiers were blown over and fell to the ground with screams.
"The enemy attack is a shelling. Everyone, please take cover!" Captain Sato's face suddenly turned pale and he subconsciously shouted.
One of the shells exploded less than twenty meters away from him, and a hot wave of air swept over him, almost overturning him.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as I lay down on the ground under the protection of the guards, the second round of three shells followed.
The screams were mixed with the explosion and reached Captain Sato's ears.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a more violent explosion came, and Captain Sato's already pale face turned even whiter.
Suddenly he woke up and shouted: "The ammunition truck, the ammunition truck must have been detonated."
Turning to look behind him, a very tragic scene appeared in front of him.
An ammunition truck loaded with mountain artillery shells happened to be hit, and dozens of boxes of shells were blown away, scattering flowers around them.
Many artillery shells exploded when they landed, and dozens of fireballs suddenly shot up, covering dozens of meters around the impact point.
The Japanese troops lying on the ground and the puppet troops swarming everywhere were all shrouded in artillery fire and perished.
Captain Sato opened his mouth with a shocked look on his face, his face became paler, and he screamed!
"Our ammunition trucks are in danger!"
"The enemy wanted to use artillery shells to destroy the ammunition trucks we were escorting... If we hadn't deliberately lengthened the distance between the ammunition trucks to 20 meters, the shells that had been detonated just now would have definitely continued to detonate the surrounding ammunition trucks, and the entire convoy would have been destroyed.
, the soldiers hiding near the ammunition truck will also suffer, and will be killed and wounded along with them!"
"The artillery attacking us must be found and destroyed immediately, otherwise all of us will be finished and die here!"
The captain of the mountain artillery squadron lying next to him shook his head and replied: "Sato-kun, don't look at me!"
"The enemy's artillery position is one kilometer away. There are three mortars in total. Although I have six mountain cannons, the mountain cannons are not suitable for close fire with mortars. Not only will they not gain any advantage, but they will also suffer losses.
!”
He hesitated and continued: "If you want to kill them, it's best to rely on your infantry!"
"One kilometer is not that far away, we can kill it with one assault!"
At a critical moment of life and death, the artillery squadron leader cannot lie.
However, by rashly sending troops to attack the enemy's artillery positions, Captain Sato was worried about the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
Just when he looked pained and hesitant, a new round of explosions rang out again.
Although no ammunition truck was detonated, a shell exploded at close range and overturned an ammunition truck. Dozens of ammunition boxes were smashed from the cart and scattered on the ground.
If another artillery shell hits at this time, some ammunition will definitely explode under the fireball.
"No more ammunition trucks can be detonated, otherwise even if we get to Lingqiu alive, if the ammunition is exploded, we will be walking around without food!" Captain Sato said to himself with a stern face.
Then a decision was made: "The first and second teams, the second company of the Imperial Association Army, will attack immediately and raid the enemy's artillery positions. Let's set off now!"
"Others dispersed to protect the remaining heavy baggage vehicles, and at the same time strengthened vigilance to prevent the enemy from moving away from the mountain and taking the opportunity to raid us!"
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers and a hundred puppet soldiers rushed out of the road as if they were on stimulants and headed towards the artillery position one kilometer away.
"Company Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops have been fooled. There are more than two hundred people here, half of them are Japanese and puppet troops!" Dong Xulin, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon, panted and reported as he ran over from the road.
"Well done!" Li Hao exclaimed with a long sigh of relief.
Hong Linfeng's reaction was more direct. He took out the cannon box and shouted: "Company Commander, I will immediately order the troops to prepare for battle!"
"The Japs have brought us food. We must eat it all without leaving any bite. We can't live up to the little Japs' kindness!"
"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed.
A heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and then he replied: "Tell comrades, when you hear the order to attack, don't save bullets. Keep an eye on the Japanese with light and heavy machine guns and beat them up. After this battle, how many bullets do you want?"
How many bullets are there!"
"After adding the captures the night before yesterday, each platoon now has three machine guns. Adding the firepower platoon, that's two heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns!"
"I request that at least two-thirds of the Japs be killed in the first round of fire raids. The riflemen can fire freely and give priority to shooting the Japs and puppet army officers to keep them blind!"
"Then follow my orders to launch a surprise attack and end the battle quickly!"
