There were four mortars in total, and they really sounded "boom" and "boom" in Meihua Town.

As for the shooting of Zhu Yuan, there was no need to adjust it at all. When the Japanese army first started to attack in the morning, Lu Cao ordered a mortar to conduct a test firing, and the shooting target was the woods to the north of Meihua Town.

That forest was the best preparatory position for the Japanese army to launch an attack in the north of Meihua Town. Of course, the Japanese army could not tolerate the Chinese army's attack there with mortars, so Lu Cao and his group were also attacked by the Japanese army after their mortars were fired.

Mortar counterattack.

The Japanese counterattack firepower at that time was naturally very fierce, but the mortar pack of the 691st Regiment had already been moved away by then.

In order to confuse the Japanese army, Lu Cao even ordered several piles of firewood to be lit there, and the place became filled with smoke. Then for nearly a day, the mortars of the 691st Regiment never sounded again!

As a result, the Japanese army took it for granted that the 691st Regiment no longer had artillery.

In the age of cold weapons, there was no shortage of such battles. One party was trapped in a dangerous city, and the other party basking in the sun was under the city where bows and arrows could not reach.

And now the Japanese army thinks the same is true.

The woods were outside the range of machine guns and rifles, and the mortars of the 691st Regiment were silenced by them, so what did they have to worry about?

And Lu Cao was absolutely tolerant enough. He told the soldiers at the top of the city to use their flesh and blood, use light and heavy machine guns, and rifles to shoot at the Japanese troops on the turret of the wall.

In this way, both the enemy and ourselves have their own advantages.

The Chinese army's victory lies in its condescending position, while the Japanese army's victory lies in its strong firepower. As a result, although the 691st Regiment has now suffered more than 400 casualties, the Japanese's casualties have not been much less.

Now the Japanese army saw that it was dusk, and their vigilance was getting lower and lower. In the woods, hundreds of Japanese soldiers were holding guns and preparing to launch a new round of attacks, and the wounded who were carried off the battlefield

I also groaned in the clearing of the woods.

But at this moment, the mortar shells from the 691st Regiment roared in!

Casualties depended on both the density of artillery fire and the density of people on the bombed target. There were not many artillery shells, a total of 41 shells, but the four mortars of the 691st Regiment used those 41 shells to blow up the woods in two minutes.

Dust was everywhere, and when the gunfire stopped, the corpses and wounded of the Japanese soldiers were already lying on top of each other in the woods!

Lu Cao finally spent most of the day's forbearance and the casualties of his own soldiers in exchange for heavy losses to the Japanese army!

Not to mention how excited the defenders in Plum Blossom Town were at this time, Shang Zhen and the others who were hiding outside Plum Blossom Town watching the battle were also cheering!

Even the little dustpan standing under the firewood pile imitated the mortar's movements after the shelling ended.

"Hiss—" Little Dustpan gestured with his hand to trace the trajectory of the mortar shell.

"Boom -" The little dustpan was like a ventriloquist and made another explosion.

"Ah -" the little dustpan yelled again and then fell straight to the ground to hold the Japanese soldier who was killed by the bombing. Then he shouted: "Don't hand over my weapons, let alone take off my ass."

Tape on the ditch!”

With a sound of "coaxing", the soldiers who had gathered here for a long time were amused by the little dustpan's antics and moved forward and backward.

Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army has had enough of the Japanese army's powerful firepower.

It is said that we will build a new Great Wall with our flesh and blood, but who is willing to use our flesh and blood to withstand the artillery fire of the invaders?

Later generations will say that such and such a unit can fight, how many casualties were suffered in resisting the Japanese army, but just talking about casualties is not enough! Our main goal is to defeat the Japanese invaders, so if we talk about the battle-loss ratio!

When it comes to war, we should talk about firearms first, tactics second, and bravery last.

If we don’t talk about firearms or tactics, but only talk about bravery, then the sacrifice will be too great!

How big will that sacrifice be? For example, when the Japanese army captured Pingjin, the 29th Army recruited a group of student soldiers. The youngest was only fourteen or fifteen years old. Several of them used one gun. As a result, these student soldiers went to the battlefield and fought.

, although brave, but also suffered heavy losses!

Under the firewood pile, everyone was so excited, and then they heard someone in the yard timidly ask: "Why are you so happy?"

"Aren't you happy if you blew up the stubborn little devil?" Dihu Zhuzhu answered directly when he heard the question from the courtyard.

It was only after he finished answering that he realized that the people who were asking the questions should be ordinary people.

"You should be happy too! Those who were beaten to death were Japanese devils, who are not the same species as us Chinese!" Hu Zhuzhu said loudly.

When Hu Zhuzhu spoke to the people in the courtyard, the others naturally heard it and turned to look over.

At this time, Wang Laomao finally said with a smile: "I said that we, a semi-scholar, should learn from Hu Zhuzhu, and Hu Zhuzhu will be able to do anti-Japanese propaganda!"

"What?" Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen, who are called half-scholars, didn't understand. They couldn't understand why Mr. Wang changed the topic to the two of them.

"Look at the nonsense you are promoting about overthrowing Japanese imperialism and the loss of the country. It is not clear at all. Look at how down-to-earth Hu Zhuzi's words are. What they are talking about is the Japanese and we Chinese are not.

Even ordinary people can understand it!" Mr. Wang said.

In this team, this was the nth time Chu Tian and Chen Hanwen were speechless by Mr. Wang, and the two of them didn't know how to answer for a while.

But at this time, another voice came from the yard, and the voice still sounded older: "Yes, the boss is right, the Japanese and us Chinese are not of the same species, it would be better to kill all those bastards."

Miles!"

Hearing the old man chatting in the yard, Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Brother, for the sake of us fighting the Japanese, can you let us come to your house for a drink?"

"Of course!" At this time, the courtyard door opened, and the old man who opened the door was the old man who had scolded Shang Zhen for climbing on the firewood pile.

"Ouch, this is the first time I see my half-hearted father talking to the common people like this." Little Dustpan snickered from behind.

"You little bastard, it's as if your godfather has always been the kind of person who was always in despair!" Mr. Wang cursed with a smile, and then ran to the courtyard. As soon as he left, the other soldiers

Also, you need to drink water.

Naturally, only Shang Zhen on the firewood pile and two soldiers who stayed to observe the situation were left outside the house.

There was no combat mission at all, so Mr. Wang was chatting with the old man in the room. Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed. At this time, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside and said: "Uncle Wang, get out quickly.

, there’s something going on outside!”

Upon hearing this, the people who were still in the house ran outside.

By this time, Shang Zhen had already gotten off the firewood pile.

"There's trouble this time, there are ghosts coming to our place.

Not many people came to us, only about twenty people.

But there were more than a hundred Japanese behind them, all facing the other side of the town, looking like they wanted to surround the entire town!

Tell these families to leave quickly and stay away for at least two days, as there will be a war here soon," Shang Zhen said.

Upon hearing what Shang Zhen said, Qian Chuan'er Qin Chuan took two people and ran back. They needed to let the people leave quickly.

When all the soldiers heard what Shang Zhen said, they already understood that Shang Zhen was going to ambush the 20 or so Japanese soldiers who came over.

Since there were only more than twenty Japanese troops coming, this was fat meat served to their mouths, and it was impossible for Shang Zhen and the others not to eat it.

At the same time, it would be dark in another hour or so. Not to mention that Shang Zhen and the others took advantage of the darkness to escape, at least they would not have a problem escaping the pursuit of the Japanese army.

But just then, when Shang Zhen and the others were about to find the ambush location, they heard a noise coming from behind.

"We can't leave. If we leave, what will happen if the Japanese burn our house?" That was what the old lady was saying.

"As if you can take care of your house even if you are here?" The voice of the reply sounded angry. It was Qian Chuan'er's voice, "Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, let alone the house, your house will be taken care of."

My life is gone! My life is gone, what’s the use of having a house?”

"This is the house we have worked hard to build all our lives! You can't fight here!" The old lady's voice was filled with tears.

No one knew what Qian Chuan'er would say next, but at this time, Mr. Wang was already anxious.

"Force them to leave with a gun. There is no time to waste time. If we don't leave, it will be too late!" Wang Laomao said angrily.

When Mr. Wang said this, he turned around and met the old man with whom he had a rather speculative chat.

The old man trembled in fright when he saw Mr. Wang suddenly showing a fierce look on his face.

"Oh, brother, let's go. You don't know how ruthless the Japanese are. Qian Chuan'er used a gun to drive them away!" Mr. Wang softened his heart when he saw the old man's frightened eyes, but then he hardened his heart.

.

In fact, this is what Mr. Wang has always done.
