Looking at the Japanese fighter plane flying at low altitude, a cold light flashed in Liu Gen's eyes. He put the cannonball in his hand into the barrel, and in an instant, the modified cannonball flew out.
"Cannonballs!" Liu Gen ordered in a low voice.
Yungui quickly prepared the cannonball and put it into Liu Gen's hands. Yungui moved quickly. After putting the cannonball into Liu Gen's hand, he picked up another cannonball. There was still plenty of time, and Liu Gen should take advantage of it.
Fire a few more shells. With the cooperation of Yungui, the shells were shot out quickly. In just ten seconds, six shells were shot out!
The soldiers looked at all this and looked at Liu Gen with shock in their eyes. Liu Gen's speed was really too fast. He fired six shells in ten seconds, so as long as Liu Gen could keep it up, within one minute
Being able to fire thirty-six shells, this has almost reached the limit of the mortar's rate of fire. Even if Liu Gen increases his speed again, there will not be much change due to the limitation of the mortar's rate of fire.
.
Yungui was not too shocked, but rather blamed himself. He knew that Liu Gen could do better, but it was only because of him that he was affected.
Among the soldiers present, there was no one who could fire six shells in ten seconds. Even four rounds required their all-out efforts, let alone six. The soldiers looked at Liu Gen, and they could see Liu Gen
His expression was calm, and there was no sign of fatigue at all. That is to say, given enough time, Liu Gen could continue to maintain this speed!
In the air, there was a loud explosion. In order to ensure that it could hit the Japanese fighter plane, the six shells fired by Liu Gen were almost all in the same position, in order to hit the Japanese fighter plane and prevent it from successfully escaping. The loud explosion and the rapid flying
The shell fragments ejected made the Japanese pilot look horrified, and he controlled the fighter plane to climb quickly.
"What do you think I'm doing? Are you still not retreating? Are you going to stay here and wait for the Japanese fighter planes to come?" Liu Gen picked up the hot mortar and quickly retreated deep into the forest.
The surrounding soldiers reacted, and their expressions couldn't help but change. They knew that Liu Gen was right, and they could also see that the Japanese fighter planes quickly climbed towards the mountain forest and rushed towards it.
When black smoke came out, even if the Japanese pilots reacted quickly, the fighter plane was still attacked by artillery shells, making it impossible for the fighter plane to continue fighting.
The remaining two Japanese fighter planes rushed towards the area where Liu Gen and others were. However, in order to avoid being attacked, the two fighter planes maintained a certain flying height and kept firing machine guns at this area. As for whether they could hit the target.
They didn't care about Liu Gen and others in the forest. The Japanese pilots just wanted to use this method to cover up the panic in their hearts. If they had known that the Eighth Route Army had such methods, they would definitely not have been careless.
"Cannonball!"
During the escape process, Liu Gen looked back and saw the Japanese fighter planes continuously firing machine guns above the mountain forest. His eyes lit up. The two Japanese fighter planes were not flying at low altitude. They should be about 1,500 meters away from the mountain forest. Want to
It is undoubtedly impossible to hit a Japanese fighter jet at such a height with a mortar.
Yungui, who was following Liu Gen, reacted and quickly took out a shell and handed it to Liu Gen. He looked at the Japanese fighter planes circling and strafing in the air and understood what Liu Gen was thinking. Just looking at the flying height of the Japanese fighter planes in the air, Yungui felt a little confused.
Doubtful, he didn't know whether Liu Gen could hit the Japanese fighter plane. And most importantly, the mortar probably couldn't hit such a height, right?
"boom"
The shell flew out, Liu Gen directly shouldered the mortar and retreated again, without even looking to see if the shell could hit the Japanese fighter plane.
On the way to retreat, Yungui couldn't help but look back, wondering if the shells had hit the Japanese fighter planes. But to Yungui's disappointment, there were no problems with the two Japanese fighter planes, but shells exploded in the air again, causing
The two Japanese fighter planes chose to climb again, not daring to continue firing with machine guns.
"Captain, the shot just now failed to hit the Japanese fighter plane." Yungui said to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen did not stop and looked calm, "That's for sure. With the height at which the Japanese fighter planes fly, it is impossible to hit again. I just want to buy some time. Now the two Japanese fighter planes are not
Have you stopped shooting?"
Suddenly, Yungui understood. It turned out that Liu Gen had this purpose. No wonder Liu Gen didn't care whether he could hit the Japanese fighter planes. Yungui looked at the other soldiers. He could see that there were still a few soldiers who were not in the enemy's strafing.
Be careful of injuries, but because the Japanese fired at a certain height, the power of the bullets dropped a lot when they hit the soldiers, and the injuries to the soldiers were not serious.
Looking at Liu Gen who was advancing rapidly with the mortar, Yungui seemed to understand why Liu Gen did this and continued to let the Japanese fire. I am afraid that more soldiers would be injured, and it was even said that some soldiers would die here.
…
At the frontline headquarters, the brigade commander looked at the Japanese fighter planes that were constantly circling in the sky. Knowing that the Eighth Route Army below had weapons that could threaten them, the Japanese pilots did not dare to continue taking risks. The inability to fly at low altitude naturally meant that the machine guns on the fighter planes could not
It played a great role, but the Japanese pilots were not willing to evacuate like this. The Japanese fighter planes were circling, and the two Japanese infantry brigades were also attacking. Thousands of Japanese fighters continued to advance under the cover of the fighter planes.
"Order each regiment to avoid the enemy's edge and wait until the Japanese fighter planes retreat before launching a counterattack! No regiment can take the initiative to show its head without my order," the brigade commander ordered.
Soldiers quickly dialed the telephone numbers of each regiment and informed Li Yunlong and others of the brigade commander's orders. With the help of the communications corps, the 386 Brigade had successfully established a telephone communication network in this area, which was enough to ensure communication between the frontline headquarters and the regiments.
Unhindered. The location of the frontline headquarters was very hidden, and the soldiers made a lot of camouflage around it, so that the Japanese fighter planes were unable to discover the location of the frontline headquarters.
Of course, even if the Japanese discover the frontline headquarters, it will not have much effect. Under the brigade commander's order, most of the personnel in the frontline headquarters are already in the vehicle. When the Japanese fighter planes arrive, there will be no impact.
reward.
"Were those shots fired just now by Liu Gen?" the brigade commander asked, looking at the Japanese fighter planes circling in the sky.
The brigade commander led the 386 Brigade to fight against the Japanese many times, and also faced many situations where the Japanese dispatched fighter planes to assist in the attack. Facing the Japanese fighter planes, the 386 Brigade suffered a lot. If you want to use machine guns to shoot down the Japanese fighter planes,
It is very difficult. The Japs pilots are not fools. When encountering the light machine guns gathered by the Eighth Route Army, they will naturally choose to climb quickly and will not let the Eighth Route Army shoot with light machine guns. Coupled with the extremely fast speed of the Japs fighter planes, if they want to use light machine guns
Hitting a Japanese fighter plane would be even more difficult.
In the entire Eighth Route Army, there is no good way to deal with Japanese fighter planes. Even if the Eighth Route Army has fought with Japanese fighter planes many times, there is no way. The Eighth Route Army is too poor to form its own air force, plus the National Army
The Japanese blockade of the Eighth Route Army made it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to obtain fighter planes.
"It was probably Company Commander Liu who did the shooting. He was the only one in the brigade who had such ability." Xiao Li said with certainty.
The brigade commander nodded and couldn't help but ponder. As the captain of the artillery team, Liu Gen has such skills, so can other soldiers learn it? If other soldiers can do the same as Liu Gen, then when we meet again
When the enemy's fighter planes arrive, they will not be helpless and can only be beaten passively. Being beaten passively is not the brigade commander's style.
"After the war, let Genzi develop the abilities of the artillery soldiers in this area. Judging from the damage to the Japanese fighter planes, it is still feasible for Genzi to do this." The brigade commander said solemnly.
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment and wrote this down without much surprise. Since Liu Gen has such ability, it is normal for him to be reused by the brigade commander. He can see that the 386 Brigade has methods that can deal with Japanese fighter planes. Xiao Li
Li was also very happy. For the soldiers, anyone who sees the arrogant fighter planes of the Japanese in the sky will be extremely annoyed and will want to use all kinds of methods to shoot down the Japanese fighters.
"Once again, order each regiment to wait until the Japanese fighter planes retreat, and then immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese! Whether you can eat meat depends on this time! Let Li Yunlong and others show some real skills, what is a little wealth? You can earn it after you use it.
Just don't hold the rope!" The brigade commander looked at the Japanese fighter planes circling in the sky, knowing that they wouldn't stay for too long.
Picking up the telescope and looking at the thousands of Japanese who were constantly attacking, the brigade commander's eyes flashed coldly. These little devils should be enough to replenish the 386th Brigade. As long as some of them are killed, the goal will be achieved! As for annihilating all these little devils, the brigade will
The commander has no such idea. Now the combat personnel of each regiment of the 386 Brigade are somewhat insufficient. If they are about to fight to the death with these Japs, then the casualties will definitely be more. How will they face another raid by the Japs?
It didn't take long for Li Yunlong and others to know the relevant orders of the brigade commander. One by one, they gritted their teeth and took out the money they had accumulated. The brigade commander had already spoken, and naturally they could no longer hide it. The groups formed by each regiment
The artillery companies have made corresponding preparations. Previously, the artillery teams provided artillery support, but the artillery companies of each regiment did not fire. Now they are about to counterattack. If they don't show some real skills, they may not be able to get the soup.
Under the orders of Li Yunlong and others, the soldiers of each regiment were ready to counterattack. The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and their bullets were replenished. How many Japanese soldiers they could kill next depended on them.
In the woods, Liu Gen stopped. He looked at the Japanese fighter planes hovering in the sky, turned around decisively, and ran towards the front line. Seeing Liu Gen's actions, the soldiers did not hesitate and followed Liu Gen's footsteps, heading towards
He rushed towards the front line. Noticing that the soldiers were following him, Liu Gen was somewhat satisfied. At this point, the soldiers had done a pretty good job.
Five minutes later, Liu Gen came to the edge of the woods and looked at the Japanese fighter jets hovering in the sky again. He could see that the Japanese fighter jets no longer stayed and chose to evacuate at full speed. The Japanese pilots knew that staying would be of no use, no.
If they dared to continue attacking at low altitude, they would not be able to pose an effective threat to the Eighth Route Army.
