Chapter 174 Lao Tzu is like seeing a beauty when he sees this thing!
After Toshio Ogata dispersed his troops, the Japanese soldiers quickly discovered the place where the bombers had bombed.
And around here, the only place where you can hide and hide your guns is a dense forest.
Toshio Ogata felt that the artillery and artillery of the Eighth Route Army were probably hidden in this dense forest.
But it's not realistic to call the aviation force to bomb this place because the forest is a bit big.
At that moment, Toshio Ogata gathered the scattered Japanese soldiers again and prepared to search the woods.
The prudent Toshio Ogata did not rush into the woods rashly, but first sent a small team of soldiers to make a pass.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers dispersed and entered the forest from different positions.
After a burst of gunshots was heard in the woods, the Japanese soldiers who entered the woods seemed to have disappeared, and no signal was sent for a long time.
Something must have happened. Now Toshio Ogata was sure that the Eighth Route Army's artillery was hidden in this forest.
Yossi!
Ogata Toshio's eyes showed excitement, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Pulling out the command knife with a swipe, Toshio Ogata said loudly: "Warriors, the Eighth Route Army's artillery is hidden in this forest."
"The time has come to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan."
"Kill the Eighth Route Army and grab the cannon!"
"Kill the Eighth Route Army and grab the cannon!" the Japs yelled one after another.
"Attack!" Toshio Ogata pointed his sword forward.
The Japs were on a hill between the bombing site and the woods, about 200 meters away from the woods.
The Japanese with the grass ring above their heads rushed down the hill one after another, holding rifles and bowing their bodies, and walked cautiously towards the woods in a skirmish line.
But Toshio Ogata did not move. He was the captain of the battalion and according to the regulations, he could not participate in the charge. The dozens of artillerymen beside him did not move either. Artillerymen were not good at charging.
The artillery squadron leader gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I suggest firing arson bombs into the woods and burning everyone on the road to death."
Most of the Japanese artillery brigade suffered casualties from the bombardment, and the brigade leader was also killed. The artillery squadron leader was one of the lucky ones to survive.
They also brought an artillery squad and four Type 97 81mm mortars.
"idiot!"
"Are you stupid?"
"What if the Eighth Route Army blows up the cannon before they die?"
"What if you run away from the other side of the woods with arson bombs and cannons?"
As soon as the Japanese squadron leader finished speaking, Toshio Ogata scolded him with a slap in the face.
"Hi!"
"Baga, don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and set up the mortars to provide artillery support to the warriors."
"Hi!"
"Build an artillery position, hahaha, hahaha!"
The Japanese artillerymen were busy building mortar positions.
People standing in the dark can see people and things clearly in the light, but people standing in the light can see very unclearly in the darkness.
Now the cavalry camp is in the darkness in the woods, and the Japanese are in the light.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion could clearly see the Japanese approaching, but the Japanese could not see clearly what was going on in the forest.
Soon, the Japanese approached the edge of the forest, about 30 meters away, and could already see some grass and trees in the forest.
Some Japanese saw what looked like a gun barrel, so they pulled the bolt and pushed the bullet into the chamber, then raised the gun and shot there.
Before the Japanese could fire, gunshots like fried beans suddenly rang out in the forest.
The Japs in front fell down, and the Japs behind quickly lay down on the ground and shot into the forest.
But I couldn't see clearly where the Eighth Route Army was in the forest, so I could only shoot at random.
The Japanese mortars on the hillside behind started firing shells into the woods.
Three rockets with trailing flames flew out of the forest and hit the Japanese artillery position directly.
The Japs had never seen a rocket launcher before, so they were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and they all subconsciously lay down on the ground to avoid it.
The next moment, three rockets landed on the Japanese artillery position and exploded. The Japanese artillery position was swallowed up by violent shock waves and shrapnel in an instant.
The Japanese soldiers who were close to the explosion site did not react at that time. They only heard a loud bang in their ears and were instantly blown to pieces in the violent explosion.
The explosion was so violent and sudden that not even a scream could be heard.
The power of the Super Bazooka is similar to that of a 105-caliber howitzer, and more powerful than a 75mm mountain gun!
…
Toshio Ogata was far away from the mortar position, so he was lucky to survive.
Seeing that the mortar position was completely destroyed, Toshio Ogata was a little dumbfounded.
The current situation was really beyond Toshio Ogata's expectation.
He originally thought that after discovering the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army's artillery, even if there were guards on the Eighth Route Army, it would be easy to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and seize the cannons.
Even if there are some twists and turns, the result will not change.
As long as the warriors under his command get ready and launch an attack, they can easily destroy this group of eight forces.
However, the cruel reality gave Ogata Junfu a blow. When this group of elite soldiers launched an attack, instead of collapse, the Eighth Route Army suppressed them and beat them.
The infantry was suppressed by fire and unable to move.
The artillery positions were directly destroyed.
What on earth was that thing that just flew over?
Could it be an Eighth Route Army cannon?
How could it be so powerful?
Ogata Toshio's face looked uncertain for a while.
Heavy and light machine gun fire was suppressed.
In the end, Toshio Ogata discovered that his well-trained and experienced troops could not even organize a decent attack.
The Eighth Route Army relied on its terrain advantages and fierce firepower to firmly occupy the initiative.
What makes Toshio Ogata even more depressed is that he has no way to change the situation of the war now.
There was a way, although before the attack, Kurosawa Shoji had told him that he could send a telegram to call for aviation support, but he felt embarrassed that he could not defeat the enemy.
It's better to be embarrassed than to lose your life. At that moment, Toshio Ogata gritted his teeth and roared: "The communications team immediately called the brigade headquarters to request aviation combat guidance, and also reported our location to the brigade headquarters."
The Japanese telegraph operator quickly set up his telegraph machine and prepared to send a telegram.
However, the antenna had just been set up and the Japanese telegraph operator had just turned on the transmitter.
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the opposite side. Ogata Toshio looked over when he heard the sound, his eyes shrank, and his expression changed greatly: "No, there are still Eighth Route Cavalry in the woods!"
I saw a huge group of Eighth Route Cavalry rushing out of the woods, raising their sabers to kill the Japanese lying on the ground.
"Retreat, Baga, retreat quickly!"
Toshio Ogata shouted at the top of his lungs.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Toshio Ogata and his men never dreamed that what was hidden in the woods was an Eighth Route Cavalry unit.
What's even more terrible is that the Japs are very close to the woods. Running back will definitely not be able to outrun the four-legged army horses. When the Japs realize this problem, the Eighth Route Cavalry rushes towards the Japs like a hurricane, although the sprint distance is relatively short, only about 200 meters.
meters, but enough cavalry to catch up with the Japanese.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a new group of cavalry surged forward, the Yunlong knife in their hands reflecting the dazzling cold light.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers fled in panic like a flock of frightened sheep, but were soon overtaken by the cavalry battalion.
As the sword flashed, blood arrows flew.
Under Sun Desheng's order, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to freely pursue and kill, and the battle here turned into a one-sided slaughterhouse.
…
On the main peak of Lion Rock.
The battle over Yanzigou also ended quickly.
Although the Japs left manpower at the top of Yanzigou Mountain, they were eliminated by the members of the Sword Squadron hiding in the dark.
The Lijian Squadron occupied the hilltop of Yanzigou and cut off the Japanese's retreat. The First and Third Battalions pressed up from behind and quickly eliminated all the Japanese.
There is no difficulty.
"Report to the leader, the political commissar, and the Japanese have all been eliminated!"
Monk Wei walked into the regiment headquarters covered in blood. It could be seen from his expression that he had a great time killing in the battle just now.
"I know." Li Yunlong nodded.
After the report, Monk Wei walked out of the headquarters, then operated a twin machine gun, staring at the sky with a pair of alert eyes.
Not long after, there was a sound of military horses neighing outside the headquarters, and the communications soldiers of the cavalry regiment ran in and gave a military salute.
"Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the cavalry battalion to eliminate a Japanese squadron in the rear, and not a single enemy slipped through the net!"
"Well done, thank you for your hard work!" Li Yunlong nodded.
Being praised by the regiment leader, the communications soldier blushed, then walked out, got on his horse and went down the mountain.
"Old Zhao, please do the math. How many Japanese and puppet soldiers have we killed?"
Looking back from the western sky, Li Yunlong never saw the Japanese plane, and there was a disappointed expression on Li Yunlong's face.
"200 plus 400 equals 600. In addition to killing about 800 Japanese and puppet troops head-on, we must kill at least 1,400 enemies."
"However, the 800 Japanese and puppet troops on the front have low combat effectiveness and can be easily killed by us. There is no difficulty."
"Lao Li, why do I see your disappointed expression?"
"Aren't you satisfied with killing more than 1,400 enemies?"
Li Yunlong said: "I am a little disappointed that the Japanese planes did not continue to come. Last time, these planes were not the only ones chasing us in the Xinzhou Basin."
"I'm still thinking about bringing down a few more planes that are fighting against it, and buying more American 75mm caliber mountain cannons from Brother Chen Feng."
"To tell you the truth, when I saw this thing, it was like seeing a beautiful woman. My heart was itchy and scratching like a cat."
"I really want to create a mountain artillery regiment. It would be more exciting to cover the Japanese with artillery before every battle."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Don't worry, isn't it just the Mountain Artillery Regiment? Our new regiment will definitely have one in the future, and maybe there will be a Mountain Artillery Brigade and even a Mountain Artillery Division."
"When the time comes, maybe you, Lao Li, will command a mountain artillery division and hundreds of mountain artillery units to fight."
After laughing, Li Yunlong said: "Well, Lao Zhao, your words sound encouraging."
"As long as we work hard to kill the Japanese and do some big business, it's no problem to make trouble with the mountain artillery division."
"By the way." Zhao Gang asked, "Have you discussed business with Chen Feng this time in Yangquan?"
"Of course." Li Yunlong said, "How can I not discuss such a big deal with him?"
"If we can capture Yangquan this time, what kind of assistance can Brother Chen Feng give us?" Zhao Gang's expression changed.
"They say they want to replace rifles for our entire regiment." Li Yunlong said, "I don't know the specific model of rifles yet, but don't worry about it for now. We'll take Yangquan first."
