Chapter 145 Crazy Artillery
The 92-stage gun has a short shape and a height of only 60 cm. More than 20 people fired more than 40 shells in the first minute. It is only three or four miles away from the Western Bing Battalion, which is completely within the range of the 92-stage gun. They don’t care about the accuracy. When they get the shells, they just stuff them in, such as high-explosive bombs, shrapnel, smokescreen bombs, etc. If there are special bombs, the effect will be even better.
Three minutes, only three minutes of bombing also caused the big Western barracks to overturn. All the Japanese had to avoid artillery fire and prevent them from being trampled by war horses. There was no chance of counterattack. The entire barracks were filled with fire and smoke everywhere, and there was no sign of people a few meters apart. More than a thousand Japanese thought they had been attacked by most of the Eighth Route Army. They could only raise a small amount of troops at the first time, first blocking the outer entrance, and then starting to counterattack.
Four guns fired more than 200 shells in three minutes, which made more than 20 special forces members exhausted, but they couldn't rest yet. They had to run away quickly before the Japanese reacted. Otherwise, when the Japanese attacked, there would be only a dead end.
A large number of shells were loaded onto the truck, and the 92-step cannon was hung back, and the horsepower was increased and it ran away southeastward. Over there, the half-toned gunners of dozens of district teams had almost blown the grenades in their hands.
The 92-stage cannon can still be seen when it is fired in the dark. The initial velocity of the grenade cannon is even lower. The members of the district team hiding outside the South Barracks did not know how to adjust. They just fired one shot from the left and one shot from the right, which scared the Japanese inside so that they dared not raise their heads. No one knew where the next grenade would hit. Moreover, the group of people outside used a lot of arson bombs, which made the barracks ignite everywhere, making the smoke everywhere, and many people couldn't figure out the direction.
A small team of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the barracks and quickly stepped on pre-built landmines. These mines were not lethal and not many were killed by bombing, but more Japanese were bleeding all over their bodies. If they were not treated in time, they would not last half an hour before they could hang up.
Most of the Japanese in this team were injured by the explosion and were swept up by several light and heavy machine guns. The rest could only retreat into the barracks in shame to find engineers who could clear mines.
Some Japanese also risked their lives to climb over the wall and prepared to counterattack from the side. Unfortunately, they were too small and were not established. Under the threat of several light machine guns, they could only lie on the ground and shoot at the distant district team. Although they failed to charge, they also hit many machine gunners who had not yet left the division with their precise shooting skills.
The firepower of the machine gun was suppressed by the rifle, and the Japanese soon saw the signs. In front of them was a group of eighth companies, who could not even transfer positions. Just knowing that with the automatic firepower in their hands, if there was a grenade launcher in their hands, they would kill them in minutes.
So, the Japanese guns who were shooting desperately called for support behind them. Soon, more Japanese soldiers climbed over the wall and then, the Japanese grenade launcher began to show their power. With just a few shots, they exploded three or four light machine guns that they didn't know how to move.
Just when the district team couldn't bear it, Lao Jing led people to put out the fire everywhere, four artillery shells drew bright lines of fire and smashed into the South Barracks. The barracks here were much smaller than those of the West Barracks. One of the artillery shells hit a small team of Japanese soldiers who were about to get up to fight back. The bursting shrapnel shot into the Japanese soldiers with a sensational howling, and they all screamed and fell to the ground. After one shot, the rest were so scared that they fell to the ground and never dared to get up casually.
When Lao Jing heard this, he was excited. The support fire finally arrived. As long as the artillery fire continued, they would have the chance to escape and would not be chased by the Japanese in the barracks. Taking this opportunity, he quickly sent several correspondents around him to call the district team to retreat. The mission tonight had been completed. He dared not with the remaining 150 or 60 people to resist the Japanese's angry counterattack.
With the arrival of the district team, Xu Dapao also stopped shooting in time, asked the special forces members to remove the cannons, carry one parts and retreat into the darkness. The four gun barrels were still hot, but the soldiers of the district team ignored them and took off their clothes and ran away. Even if their hands and faces were burned, they didn't care. This was a cannon. With these four guns, the Eighth Route Army could shoot down no matter what kind of earthen surround the artillery tower, what was the point of getting hurt? If you carry the gun barrel back, you might as well be able to make contributions and join the main force.
The Tujiao Route Regiment retreated after firing artillery. How could the Japanese in the Southern Barracks bear it? They came to bomb for no reason, killing so many people and want to run away? Now that the artillery fire stopped, they climbed over the wall and chased the Tujiao Route Regiment route and chased them to death.
The four cannons and the shells on the chariot were carried away by the soldiers of the district team, and the special forces team members who were freed up had a place to use their skills. From time to time, they buried vicious grenades and landmines on the roadside, which made the chasing Japanese soldiers bleeding all over the ground. However, they were large in numbers and did not care about the casualties at all. They still pursued them desperately, trying to grab the tail of the Tujiao Route Army and wait for a large army to surround them after dawn.
The district team was familiar with the road, but unfortunately they did not walk fast with heavy infantry artillery parts. The special forces used all their grenades and mines, which only delayed the Japanese attack, but they were still rushing behind like candy.
The special forces are all short-range weapons, and they don’t get much advantage from the Japanese long-range shooting. Fortunately, the district team brought out a lot of machine guns and small cannons from the station. After the special forces equipped the six latest knives and seven small cannons, the Japanese's pursuit speed suddenly slowed down a lot. They found that their opponents no longer had to be on the ground like they did before. They often changed positions after shooting a shuttle, and their guns were very tricky, and the bullets were fired against the ground. The vanguards chasing in front suffered a great loss.
The fight and stop all the way, and finally met Zhao Hu and Baekaboo near the Tumen of Xishan. This is the passage to the mountain. As long as you guard this place, even if the Japanese have 500 people, they will not be able to attack.
The greater advantage is that there is only one small path to enter the mountain. If the Japanese want to detour, they have to cross the tall mountains on both wings. It takes less than an hour and cannot touch the edge at all.
When Zhao Hu saw that the terrain was favorable, he asked everyone to stop and prepare to use the moment before dawn to give the pursuers a cruel one. Only by hitting them in pain can they shrink back.
Unfortunately, before they set up their positions, the headlights lit up in the east. It turned out that the Japanese from Xidaying finally chased after them. With less than 200 people now, they obviously could not stand with the Japanese anymore. Zhao Hu had to ask Director Jing to retreat to the southwest with his infantry cannons and shells. He led his special forces to a little blocking for a while and then led the Japanese to the mountains. After all, these four infantry cannons are hard-won, and the bunkers and strongholds used to attack the enemy in the future are much more cost-effective than using them in field battles.
Director Jing knew that time was tight, so he asked the district team to leave all six trunks, several grenade launchers and ammunition. Now weapons are not nervous for everyone. There is a train of weapons and ammunition in the south.
As soon as Director Jing and his team left, the special forces used the terrain and fired all their power. The light machine guns and small cannons were not stingy with ammunition, and they immediately pushed a small team attacking the Yamaguchi so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Seeing that the Japanese stopped fighting, Zhao Hu also asked everyone to cease fire. He was fighting too fast just now and the backup magazine was almost empty. He just took this opportunity to press the magazine and wait for the Japanese to get up and fight back again to show them a good look.
Suddenly, the bayonet with sharp ears changed his face, and he turned around and said to Zhao Hu: "Head, the Japanese are blowing the whistle. This is to call the vanguard in front to retreat. Is there any conspiracy?"
"Are you sure?"
"I also heard two occasional sounds when the fire suddenly stopped just now. I couldn't be too sure, but the counterattack firepower in front of the position seemed to have been reduced a lot and the attack was not accurate."
Zhao Hu twisted in his heart: "No, the Japanese are using the wounded soldiers to hold us up. They want to shoot artillery, hurry up, inform everyone to withdraw quickly!"
The special forces greeted each other with a few whistles. They could understand them by just a few whistles. They didn't even bother to take the shells scattered in front of them. They picked up their weapons and ran back quickly.
As soon as he ran down the mountain pass, a thunderous explosion sounded from it. Hearing the movement, it turned out to be a mountain cannon shell, they all shouted loudly. If he had been slower for a minute, maybe many people would have been thrown on it. He thought to himself that the Japanese devils were so cruel that they didn't even care about their own wounded soldiers.
The shelling continued, but the special forces did not have time to waste time with the Japanese. They deliberately left traces and advanced into the mountains. At the same time, Zhao Hu sent dogs and bayonets back to report the news, asking Director Wang to bring his own troops up, preparing to give the pursuers a big surprise.
