On Guanjianao, Okazaki Kencho was sitting in the position. In the dark night, he could not clearly see how many troops the Eighth Route Army had launched the attack.
"How is the preparation of the mountain artillery squadron? Have you found the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army?" Okazaki Kencho looked at Matsushita Hideo beside him and asked coldly.
After being bombarded by the Eighth Route Army's artillery, Okazaki Kenchang was a little angry. When did the Eighth Route Army's artillery dare to act wildly in front of the Imperial Japanese Army? Okazaki Kenchang is a proud enough person. In his opinion, with the force in his hands,
, the Eighth Route Army did not have the strength of a brigade to be able to do anything to him! Okazaki Kencho knew clearly that during this period of time, various units of the Eighth Route Army lost a lot of troops.
After losing so many troops, the Eighth Route Army still chose to hide to avoid being attacked by the Imperial Japanese Army. Now these Eighth Route Army dare to be so arrogant. Are they just looking down on Okazaki Kencho?
"Captain Okazaki, using the mountain artillery squadron rashly will definitely expose the position of our artillery. Once the Eighth Route Army is prepared, our mountain artillery squadron will definitely be in danger. You should know the importance of the mountain artillery squadron. Once it is damaged,
Then without the support of artillery fire, it will be difficult for us to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army." Looking at Captain Okazaki in front of him, Matsushita Hideo couldn't help but persuade him.
Matsushita Hideo wants to live. He has not returned to his homeland for several years. He has his wife and children there, and he does not want to die here with Okazaki Kencho! When he first came to China, Matsushita Hideo was full of confidence.
He believed in the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army! The slogan of destroying China in three months seemed achievable! But as the war continued, Matsushita Hideo became less and less confident in this war.
At the beginning, the combat effectiveness of China's resistance forces was not very strong, at least in the eyes of Hideo Matsushita. In front of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Chinese troops simply could not withstand the edge of the Imperial Japanese Army! But now,
Matsushita Hideo discovered that the combat effectiveness of China's anti-Japanese armed forces and troops seemed to be constantly improving, at a speed they could hardly imagine.
And now? His Okazaki brigade was besieged by the Eighth Route Army troops in the Guanjianao area. He wanted to successfully hold on until reinforcements arrived, but he didn't know how long it would take. Matsushita Hideo looked at the attacking Eighth Route Army below and could
I saw that these Eighth Route Army soldiers still maintained a standard battle formation during the attack, and performed various tactical actions./
Looking at all this, Matsushita Hideo's heart became heavier and heavier. Only by experiencing battles with the Chinese troops in the early days of the war can one understand how much the Chinese troops have changed. In the early days of the war, the Army of the Empire of Japan continued to push forward and resist.
Chinese soldiers are harvested as easily as wheat.
"Hmph! Just rely on the artillery of the Eighth Route Army? Look at the hit rate of these Eighth Route Army artillery attacks. Even if they discover the location of our mountain artillery squadron, what effect will it have? With the mortars in their hands, the range
It's simply not possible." Okazaki Kenchang said with a disdainful look. Okazaki Kenchang was not a fool. He saw that the artillery skills of the Eighth Route Army were not very strong, and he was sure that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army could not pose a threat to the mountain artillery squadron.
If he didn't know this, Okazaki Kenchang would definitely not use the mountain artillery squadron easily. How could he not know the importance of the mountain artillery squadron? The biggest role of the mountain artillery squadron is to repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops and ensure that Okazaki
The brigade was able to survive the Eighth Route Army's attack! Okazaki Kencho understood Matsushita Hideo's situation and he didn't want to die. It was precisely because he didn't want to die that he chose to use the mountain artillery squadron.
"Ms. Matsushita, don't worry. The capabilities of these Eighth Route Army artillery units will certainly not pose a threat to us. Besides, I want to let these attacking Eighth Route Army troops know how powerful our Okazaki Brigade is! We are not soft assholes like the 4th Brigade.
Egg!" Okazaki Kenchang patted Matsushita Hideo's shoulder hard with a twinkle in his eye.
Okazaki Kennaga believed that as long as his mountain artillery squadron could kill these Eighth Route Army artillery, the Eighth Route Army troops would be wary of them in the next battle. He even said that these attacking Eighth Route Army troops might directly choose to give up the battle.
Without artillery cover, how could they withstand the powerful firepower of the Imperial Japanese Army?
"I hope so! Several infantry squadrons were killed before, seemingly due to the artillery force of the Eighth Route Army! Previously, when the 36th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade each sent two infantry brigades to sweep the Eighth Route Army base areas,
The two brigades of the 36th Division encountered the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery team of the 386th Brigade directly killed the artillery, and were finally defeated by the Eighth Route Army head-on!"
"Captain Okazaki, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is not weak, especially the artillery team of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division!" Matsushita Hideo had obvious worry in his eyes. Unlike Okazaki Kencho, he was very concerned about this information. He could learn from the war
From the beginning of his life until now, Matsushita Hideo's abilities are not weak. If not, he might have been buried somewhere on the Chinese battlefield.
Okazaki Kenchang frowned, and there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes. He was a little shocked to learn this information from Matsushita Hideo. But even if he knew this, Okazaki Kenchang didn't think the Eighth Route Army's artillery was so strong.
At least these Eighth Route Army artillerymen who control mortars are not that strong!
"What you said is true, but our Eighth Route Army artillery units that fire artillery are not strong. I think the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division you are talking about has not come here yet. While the 386th Brigade has not come here yet, we should take the initiative to attack!
By the time the 386th Brigade arrives, our mountain artillery squadron will have already completed the transfer, so naturally there won't be any major problems." Okazaki Kennaga said again.
Matsushita Hideo stopped talking. He chose to give up. He found that he could not dissuade Okazaki Kenchang at all. In this regard, Matsushita Hideo could only hope that the artillery team of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was really not here, otherwise the mountain artillery squadron would be exposed.
There will definitely be considerable risks if you leave your own position.
"Don't worry! The units of the Eighth Route Army arrived in such a hurry that they cannot carry heavy weapons. Mortars alone cannot pose a threat to our mountain artillery squadron!" Okazaki Kenchang said again.
Matsushita Hideo nodded, hoping that everything would be as Okazaki Kennaga said. Seeing Okazaki Kenchang ordering the mountain artillery squadron to launch a counterattack, Matsushita Hideo didn't know why Matsushita Hideo had a bad premonition.
At the mountain artillery squadron position of Okazaki Brigade, the Japanese artillerymen looked relaxed. They also saw the somewhat poor skills of the Eighth Route Army artillery. In their opinion, these Eighth Route Army artillery were nothing at all and they could easily defeat them!
