Chapter 110 Blow up the puppet army's mountain artillery position
"found it!"
After the puppet army's mountain artillery began the second round of shelling, Li Erhu successfully found the puppet army's mountain artillery battalion.
Holding the calculation results, Li Erhu took the phone that had been prepared in advance from Qin Yangming and began to convey the artillery coordinates to the artillery company on the other side.
Upon receiving the news, the various artillery positions of the Vanguard Battalion quickly adjusted their artillery and began to counterattack the artillery positions of the puppet army.
In order to destroy the puppet army's artillery positions as quickly as possible, the artillery of the vanguard battalion did not care about the loss of weapons and fired as fast as possible.
Often, the second shell is ready to be inserted into the cannon before the shell casing is ejected from the cannon.
……
"Baga, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is scattered, not in one place!"
On the Japanese artillery position, Otani Naomichi of the mountain artillery squadron was watching the explosions on the puppet army's artillery position and found that the artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army were very scattered.
It was clearly not the kind of situation where they gathered to launch an artillery attack.
The puppet army's artillery positions only gave Otani Naomichi time to calculate the artillery positions of the three vanguard battalions.
Otani Naomichi had just calculated the three artillery positions of the vanguard battalion when the puppet army's mountain artillery battalion was about to be blown up.
"Quick, quickly prepare for the bombardment according to these three coordinates, two guns for each coordinate!"
Otani Naomichi did not dare to delay, as he was also worried that if he slowed down, the Eighth Route Army would transfer their artillery.
From the sound of the exploding and flying shells, Otani Naomichi could tell that the Eighth Route Army's artillery was also the Type 94 mountain cannon they were using.
The Type 94 mountain cannon weighs only more than 500 kilograms. If there were more people on the Eighth Route Army artillery position and anti-artillery caves were built, it would be possible to pull the artillery away before the artillery fire arrived.
By then, the puppet army's mountain artillery battalion would have been bombed in vain.
Maybe the enemy can use our artillery fire to calculate their artillery positions.
After all, the other side has calculated the artillery positions of the puppet army, so it is not difficult to calculate their artillery positions as well.
……
It was unclear whether the Japanese artillery had blown up the vanguard battalion's artillery, but their movements successfully attracted the cavalry company that was harassing outside.
"Company commander, look, the Japanese artillery position!"
One kilometer away from the Japanese artillery position.
A group of cavalry hid behind a mound.
After Sun Desheng received the order to lead the cavalry company to harass the Japanese, he had been looking for an opportunity to deal a severe blow to the Japanese.
After listening to the soldier's report, Sun Desheng quickly climbed up the mound and lay on the ground to observe the Japanese artillery positions in the distance.
"The little devils dared to light a bonfire on the artillery position. They are very brave."
"Captain, let's tell the battalion commander our position so that our artillery can blow up the Japanese artillery positions, shall we?"
Sun Desheng shook his head as he looked at the Japanese artillery position that was firing.
"I'm afraid there's no chance. Our troops haven't launched a charge yet. The Japanese artillery must be bombing our artillery positions. Let's go over and take a look at the Japanese artillery positions."
"If there is a chance, our cavalry company will destroy the Japanese artillery positions!"
Sun Desheng and several soldiers changed into black clothes, and with the cover of night and artillery fire, they quietly moved towards the Japanese artillery position.
"Company commander, there are only more than 200 Japanese here!"
The soldier who went with Sun Desheng to observe saw that there were only more than 200 Japanese artillery positions in front of them, and whispered to Sun Desheng excitedly.
Sun Desheng was also very excited. He waved his hand and led the soldiers back. "Battalion Commander, the Japanese artillery position has more than a hundred people, and their weapons are one Type 92 heavy machine gun, three Type 92 light machine guns, and more than eighty rifles.
We have a chance to destroy the Japanese artillery positions!"
"Captain, let's take him down. If we destroy the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese will lose their artillery support, and it will be easier for us brothers to block them."
Sun Desheng listened to what the platoon leaders said and thought about it in his heart.
"Tell me, do we have a chance to take the Japanese mountain artillery away?"
Hearing Sun Desheng's words, the other platoon leaders looked at each other.
"Captain, if we take the mountain artillery with us, our speed will slow down. If the Japanese infantry catches up with us, we may not be able to escape."
"Captain, the Japanese army is only three miles away from the artillery position. It will take them ten minutes at most to support the artillery position. If we want to take the artillery away, I'm afraid we can't do it."
"The Japanese are bombarding our artillery positions right now, and our artillery losses must be considerable.
If we can find a way to take the Japanese's Bamenshan cannon away, then it will be much easier for our vanguard battalion's artillery company to rebuild."
"What the company commander said is true. If we can take away the Japanese artillery, maybe our vanguard battalion can form two mountain artillery companies."
"Besides, we can't always rely on the battalion commander's luck to get weapons and equipment. I've heard from an old man that a person only has so much luck. Once the good luck is gone, the next thing is bad luck."
"Yes, the battalion commander has always had such good luck. He must have been a very kind person in his previous life..."
"Enough, enough, stop talking about this.
The battalion commander was able to get so much equipment because he is so powerful. Our vanguard battalion is strong enough, so we can make the Japanese become our transport team!"
When Sun Desheng saw that the topic of discussion had deviated, he quickly interrupted them.
“Captain, otherwise tell the battalion commander about the situation and ask him.
If the battalion commander wants to get these mountain cannons, let's get them.
If the battalion commander doesn't want it, we can use mortars to blow up the Japanese artillery positions and then retreat."
"Well, bring the radio over here!"
A communicator quickly came to Sun Desheng carrying a small radio.
Sun Desheng quickly asked the communicator to tell Qin Yangming about the situation.
……
At the Tongshi Town stronghold, Qin Yangming burst into laughter after receiving the news from Sun Desheng.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Sun Desheng and his men to be so lucky. By accident, they actually discovered the Japanese mountain artillery position."
Zhangye looked at the news and smiled happily at Qin Yangming.
Qin Yangming nodded with a smile on his face: "Well, tell Sun Desheng that those mountain artillerymen must be surnamed Qin, and let him be prepared.
After Tongshi Town launches a counterattack, we will find an opportunity to destroy the Japanese mountain artillery position and then bring the artillery back.
If you can't bring it back, blow up the cannon for me and tell him that life is the most important thing and he should not sacrifice the lives of the soldiers for the cannon."
"Order Li Erhu to prepare to bombard the gathering place of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Have Sun Dalong's tank company ready for the assault, and the third and fourth companies ready for the charge!"
"Yes!"
