Chapter 440: The Battle of Huangya Cave (Final Chapter)
"Loading complete!"
"Loading complete!"
"..."
"emission!"
Liu Gen and others moved quickly. After reloading the rocket launchers, they launched another attack on the Japanese artillery position.
This time, another attack on the Japanese artillery position also allowed the Japanese artillery and the Japanese in the surrounding area to discover the location of Liu Gen and others. The Japanese artillery faced the incoming rockets and forcibly launched a counterattack against Liu Gen and others.
At the same time, the Japs in the surrounding area also quickly attacked the location where Liu Gen and others were. They also learned that the artillery position was under attack. When they discovered that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army appeared outside Huangya Cave, the Japs in the surrounding area knew
This was their mistake and they were not prepared enough, otherwise the Eighth Route Army artillery would not have easily appeared in this area.
"Reload again! Hurry! There is another round of attacks!" Liu Gen shouted loudly.
The artillerymen present took action again. They picked up rockets one after another and loaded them as fast as they could. In order to complete the loading in the shortest time, everyone was extremely nervous and had no time to breathe.
Liu Gen is also constantly moving. He is the backbone of everyone, and he tries his best to make his greatest contribution when loading the rocket launcher. But after all, there is only one Liu Gen. Even with his help, the time it takes for the rocket launcher to be reloaded is completed.
It also takes a minute.
"咻" "咻" "咻"
Black spots appeared in the sky. They were counterattacks from the Japanese artillery. After they discovered the location of Liu Gen and others, they braved the rocket attack and launched a counterattack. These Japanese artillerymen knew very well that an artillery battle was inevitable.
Yes, unless they are willing to give up the heavy artillery and mountain artillery on the artillery positions, but this is undoubtedly impossible.
However, after being attacked by a round of rocket launchers, the Japs did not have many artillery pieces that could fight back, only about half of them were left. Of course, this was only the number of heavy artillery and mountain artillery. In addition to the mortars and infantry guns in the hands of the Japs, the Japs had
There will still be dozens of artillery pieces in hand.
Among them, there were only two or three artillery pieces that the Japs could control in time to counterattack. However, the Japs still chose to carry out a tough counterattack. In order to preserve the heavy artillery and mountain artillery in the artillery positions, they could only take the lead in destroying the Eighth Route Army's artillery. Only in this way
, in order to ensure the safety of the heavy artillery mountain artillery positions.
"Get down! Get down! Japanese artillery shells!" Liu Gen was the first to notice the incoming Japanese artillery shells, and he shouted loudly.
Lying on the ground, Liu Gen and others could not help but sweat. There were still unloaded rockets on this high ground. Even those rockets that had been loaded. If they were hit by Japanese artillery shells, then Liu Gen and others would be in trouble.
I'm afraid it will blow up directly into the sky. Many soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes, with a bit of fear on their faces. With the caliber of the Japanese heavy artillery, one can fully imagine the power of the Japanese heavy artillery.
It only takes one shot. The Japanese only need one shot to land on this high ground, and Liu Gen and others can be killed directly.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The shells fell suddenly, and one shell landed not far away from Liu Gen and others. The wind pressure caused by the explosion of the shell made Liu Gen and others feel like they were suffocating. And the huge sound when the shell exploded,
The ears of Liu Gen and others were buzzing.
"Hurry! Hurry up! Hurry!" After the explosion, Liu Gen stood up and shouted loudly.
The soldiers lying on the ground had blank faces, their ears were buzzing, and they couldn't hear what Liu Gen said. However, everyone reacted quickly and knew what they should do. Soon, everyone present quickly
He stood up and started loading the rocket launcher again.
This time the Japanese artillery failed to hit Liu Gen and others, so the Japanese would not have another chance. When the Japanese artillery launched a counterattack, Liu Gen had already grasped the specific positions of the three Japanese artillery pieces. With Liu Gen's
Technology, I had a clear impression in my mind in a short time. One of the mountain cannons should be hit by the second round of rockets and be directly destroyed.
Next, Liu Gen's third round of attacks will be directed at the other two Japanese artillery pieces, and of these two artillery pieces, one is a mountain cannon and the other is a heavy artillery piece.
As soon as the Japanese counterattacked, a second round of rocket attacks hit their position again. This time the Japanese heavy artillery and mountain cannon were blown up again, leaving only two heavy artillery and mountain cannon that could continue to be used.
"Baga! Baga! The Eighth Route Army's artillery is too accurate. There are only two artillery pieces left, and we are unable to continue to fight back!"
"Get out of position! Get out of position!
"..."
On the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillery commander shouted loudly. He ordered the artillery on the position to retreat immediately so that they could survive. The Japanese commander did not know whether Liu Gen and others would continue to attack, but in any case, they continued to stay.
It would be very dangerous on the artillery position.
Under the orders of the Japanese artillery commander, the Japanese artillerymen kept running out of the position. They almost used their fastest speed. As artillerymen, these Japanese artillerymen undoubtedly knew the situation on the artillery position, and there were different things on the position.
There are only a few artillery shells. Previously, it was because the Eighth Route Army rockets failed to hit these artillery shells. This is why these artillery shells did not explode.
But now, the Eighth Route Army artillery is likely to launch another attack. At the same time, there are blazing flames burning on the position. These flames may also detonate the artillery shells on the position. It is undoubtedly extremely unsafe to continue to stay on the position.
"Your Excellency, Commander, won't you evacuate the artillery position?" A Japanese artilleryman found that the commander who ordered the evacuation had not yet evacuated, so he couldn't help but ask.
The Japanese commander shook his head and said, "You go first. As your commander, it was my mistake not to pay enough attention to the Eighth Route Army artillery!"
"I will seize the last opportunity to once again determine the position of the Eighth Route Army artillery and strike back against them again!"
After hearing the commander's words, the Japanese artilleryman had some intention and wanted to stay with him for the final counterattack, but was rejected by the Japanese commander. In the end, the Japanese artilleryman had no choice but to leave, but he did not leave the artillery position.
It was too far, he wanted to see the commander's last attack with his own eyes.
…
"Launch!" At this time, Liu Gen and others completed the loading of the three rocket launchers. Following Liu Gen's order, the three rocket launchers were launched again.
After all the rockets in the three rocket launchers were fired, Liu Gen took the prepared soldiers and pushed the three rocket launchers away. Liu Gen did not dare to stop at all. If he stayed in this area for one more second, then
They will also be more dangerous.
"Quick! Leave as quickly as possible, Captain Sun. Our safety will be left to you." Liu Gen came to the side of Captain Sun, who was responsible for protection, and said solemnly.
Captain Sun looked solemn, but he still spoke and assured: "Principal Liu, don't worry, as long as our company is still there, we will definitely be able to protect everyone's safety! When we left Huangyadong, our company was prepared to die in battle.
, even if we risk our lives, we will send you back to Huangya Cave."
Liu Gen looked solemn. After raising his hands in salute, he led the artillerymen and left as quickly as possible. He knew that only by leaving with the artillerymen, the pressure on Captain Sun and the others would be reduced a lot. Only in this way can the number of soldiers be reduced.
of casualties.
"Faster! Speed up!" Liu Gen shouted again.
In order to speed up the transfer of the three rocket launchers, Liu Gen bent down decisively and pushed the rocket launcher hard to speed up the transfer of the rocket launchers. With Liu Gen's joining, the rocket launchers moved much faster. Others
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but grit my teeth and use all my strength to push the rocket launcher forward.
Liu Gen was very tired, and the other artillerymen who pushed the rocket launcher forward were also working very hard. It seemed that the three short rounds of attacks did not consume too much energy. But every time the rocket launcher was loaded, the soldiers consumed a lot of energy.
, even though the rocket is not that heavy, it only has 18 attacks.
But after three rounds, everyone's physical strength was still consumed a lot. Among them, Liu Gen and others' biggest consumption was not physical strength, but their energy. Such a battle required Liu Gen and others to maintain sufficient concentration at all times.
, so as to reduce errors.
Maintaining concentration at all times will inevitably consume a lot of energy. In addition, after the completion of the three rounds of bombardment, the tense spirits of Liu Gen and others suddenly relaxed. If this situation occurs to ordinary people, it may be unbearable.
Condition.
Even if Liu Gen and others tried their best, the three rocket launchers were not moving very fast. However, it only took less than half an hour for Liu Gen and others to successfully retreat into Huangya Cave.
It’s just that Liu Gen didn’t know whether Captain Sun and the others could hold on for half an hour. He could hear intensive gunshots not far away. Obviously, Captain Sun and the others had already exchanged fire with the Japanese. Liu Gen knew that such a firefight would only
It will become more and more intense, and there are still many Japs coming towards this area.
On the Japs artillery position, the Japs commander saw the rockets flying in the air. Looking at the direction in which the rockets were coming, he once again determined the location of the Eighth Route Army artillery. He moved the heavy artillery that had been adjusted to a certain angle again.
After fine-tuning, the Japanese commander started his last bombardment.
Less than three seconds after he completed the last bombardment, rockets suddenly fell from the sky, completely covering the location of the Japanese commander. A loud explosion sounded, and the continuously exploding rockets brought high temperatures, almost
To melt the steel on the heavy cannon.
The high temperature caused by the explosion of rockets turned the Japanese artillery position into a sea of fire. This time, the artillery shells left by the Japanese on the position could no longer survive. As the continuous explosions continued to sound on the Japanese artillery position, the heavy artillery on the position
And the mountain cannon was damaged again,
This time, even if the Japanese artillery wanted to repair the damaged heavy artillery and mountain artillery, it would be impossible. Under the high temperature in the artillery position, the steel on the heavy artillery and mountain artillery was almost melted, not to mention that these artillery had been damaged before.
I was bombed by a rocket once.
"boom"
The shells from the Japanese 150mm heavy artillery landed where Liu Gen and others were before, and exploded with a bang. Suddenly, sand and rocks flew everywhere. When the smoke dissipated, an obvious pothole appeared on the spot.
"Damn, luckily we retreated in time, otherwise we might have been left here." A soldier looked back and said with lingering fear.
Liu Gen glanced at the people present, and could see obvious happiness on their faces. He thought that after today's battle, they would all understand the importance of timely transfer. With the power of the Japanese heavy artillery, if Liu Gen and the others were really killed,
Among people, there are probably not many people who can survive.
Even if he could survive, he would still be seriously injured. Given the medical conditions in Huangyadong, the chance of surviving a serious injury is not high.
The battle between Captain Sun and others is continuing. They are constantly blocking the Japanese troops coming to this area. At this time, Captain Sun is a little lucky. He is glad that he is well prepared. In several directions in this area,
They all have mines laid out to a certain extent.
When laying the mines, Captain Sun thought about the possibility of being discovered by the Japs, but when it actually happened, he found that he had underestimated the madness of the Japs. The Japs troops continued to rush towards the area as if they were crazy.
In a short period of time, more than one infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers attacked.
Now, Captain Sun only hopes that he can buy enough time for Liu Gen and the others to evacuate. As for them, Captain Sun does not have much hope in successfully returning to Huangya Cave. With the madness of these Japs, no need to think about it.
There is no way the Japanese would let them go so easily.
The battle continued, and a company of soldiers continued to suffer casualties during the blocking process. In less than half an hour, more than half of them were killed or injured.
"withdraw!"
Captain Sun received news from soldiers that Liu Gen and the others had successfully returned to Huangya Cave. Now they can retreat. After hearing the news, Captain Sun did not dare to hesitate at all. He knew that he would hesitate for a second.
, more soldiers will die.
The soldiers retreated towards Huangyadong under the leadership of Captain Sun, while the Japs continued to pursue them. After realizing the intentions of Captain Sun and others, the Japs sent a small force to complete the outflank, but were sent out by the special agent group.
reinforcements met.
With the cover of reinforcements, Captain Sun successfully led the soldiers back to Huangya Cave. However, after they returned to Huangya Cave, Captain Ou and Liu Gen could not help but fall silent. Liu Gen and the others could see
, Captain Sun's company suffered more than two-thirds of its casualties, and the entire company was disabled.
"I regret it." After a moment of silence, Liu Gen said bitterly.
Captain Ou patted Liu Gen's shoulder hard and said in a deep voice: "In battle, sacrifice is inevitable. You successfully killed the Japanese heavy artillery and mountain artillery positions. This will greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers and have a negative impact on our agents."
The team’s defense helped a lot.”
"All sacrifices are worth it. You don't have to blame yourself. What you have done is good enough."
After saying this, Captain Ou walked towards Captain Sun and the others. He needed to ask about the specific situation. Captain Ou knew Captain Sun's ability. With his ability, he would not appear even if he was attacked by a Japanese infantry squadron.
Such huge casualties.
But this time there were so many casualties among the soldiers. What happened? Captain Ou didn't understand.
Outside Huangya Cave, the Japanese troops were in action. The heavy artillery and mountain artillery were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army artillery, which did not affect their attack. On the contrary, the heavy artillery and mountain artillery were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army artillery, which made the Japanese become extremely crazy during the attack. Among them, the Japanese
The two regiments of the 36th Division are the most obvious.
On the 13th, under the crazy attack of the Japanese, they successfully captured and occupied Taohuazhai Highland 1461. The 18 warriors of the 1st Platoon of the 4th Company of the Special Agent Regiment stationed on the top of the cliff encountered the Japanese in close combat after running out of ammunition. Due to being outnumbered, 11 warriors
The warriors attached one after another and were forced to retreat to the bottom of the ditch "Yixiantian" at the east entrance of Huangya Cave to lay mines.
On the 14th, the Japanese concentrated mortars and infantry artillery and bombarded the east entrance of Huangya Cave indiscriminately, hoping to destroy the mine array deployed by the special agent group. However, even if the Japanese consumed a large number of artillery shells for shelling, the attack was difficult.
The large number of fortifications made the Japanese mortars and infantry artillery somewhat powerless and unable to destroy them.
Relying on the defense fortifications, the special agent group continued to block the attacking Japanese, causing a lot of damage to the Japanese. The Japanese fought for a full afternoon before advancing two hundred meters. During this period, the Japanese were eager to succeed and entered.
Go to the minefield set up by the special agent team and blow up the Japanese soldiers until they are knocked down.
On the 15th, the Japanese launched a three-pronged attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal. In order to attack the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Japanese used various methods. They climbed up the cliff on ladders and attempted to directly attack the core position of the Secret Service Regiment at Shui Yaokou.
The Eighth Company of the Special Agent Regiment, which was responsible for defending the Shuiyaokou position, fought bravely and fought tooth and nail with the Japanese while retaking the ground on three sides, repelling seven consecutive Japanese attacks. During this period, Liu Gen also led the artillery of the Special Agent Regiment to bombard the Japanese.
, but due to insufficient artillery shells, Liu Gen and other artillerymen were not able to cause too many casualties to the Japanese. They only destroyed a few Japanese mortars and some grenades.
But even so, Liu Gen and the others successfully helped the defending soldiers reduce some of the pressure, but the pressure on the soldiers was still very high.
Seeing that they could not make effective progress for a long time, the Japanese became angry and used all their mortars and infantry artillery to launch another bombardment. However, for the soldiers of the special agent group hiding in the fortifications, it was like thunder and raindrops.
Small feeling.
Just when Liu Gen thought that the Japanese bombardment would not be a big problem, several Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky. The failure of the front-line Japanese troops to attack Huangyadong made Yoshio Iwamatsu choose to use the aviation force. Aerial bombs continued to drop from the Japanese.
The fighter plane landed, and in the blink of an eye, many of the special agent group's defenses were directly blown up, and flames rose from everywhere in Huangya Cave.
Facing the Japanese fighter planes, Liu Gen and others had no choice. Even if he wanted to cause a certain deterrent to the Japanese fighter planes, he had no way to do it without the artillery shells in his hands. Moreover, these Japanese fighter planes had also learned the lessons from the past and would not proceed easily.
Flying at low altitude is much smarter than before.
In an emergency, Mr. Peng sent a telegram from the headquarters: The enemy just wants to 'visit' the arsenal. Just let them climb in after your machine has retreated.
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan even emphasized that in order to expand the results of the war, we must stop with silence and retreat all troops to the second line to lure the enemy deeper.
On the evening of the 17th, under the command of Commander Ou, the soldiers of the special agent group withdrew from their defensive positions.
In the early morning of the 18th, the Japanese were able to enter the headquarters of the Huangyadong Arsenal. However, when the Japanese entered the Huangyadong Arsenal, they could not see even a hair, let alone the machinery of the arsenal. They could not even see a shadow.
