Manabe originally planned to follow Major Kaneko's order and resolutely stick to it, but he didn't expect that his opponent actually used a small grenade to blow up his bunker. Although it didn't cause any damage, it was too arrogant, so he didn't take the blame.
The captain took it seriously, so when Manabe became angry, he ran out of the bunker with a telescope, stumbled to the mortar position, and shouted at several Japanese soldiers: "Take off the disguise."
Open, the three cannons are in position, waiting for my order."
The artillery crew chief replied loudly: "Hi."
Then he commanded six soldiers to lift the camouflage net, revealing three mortars, moved out three boxes of shells, and got ready to fire.
Captain Manabe used his binoculars to search around for the location of the enemy's grenadiers, and happened to see a grenade flying out from the edge of a small open field in the distance.
The fearless Captain Manabe didn't even bother to hide. He didn't bother to care where his grenade would land. He immediately calculated the distance and direction in his head, opened his mouth and shouted: "Loading 035, distance 243, three rapid fires, ready, fire!"
"
"Boom boom boom." The first round of three shots went out.
"Prepare, release!"
"Boom boom boom." Three shots went out again in the second round.
"Prepare, release!"
"Boom boom boom." When the third round of three rounds flew out, the first round of shells had already exploded, and then the second round and the third round of shells flew past.
"Hahaha." Manabe watched the continuous explosions on a twenty-meter-circle plot in the distance, blowing up branches, leaves, weeds and wild flowers all over the sky, and the captain laughed wildly with joy.
This was a hard time for Yuesong and Tiedan. Yuesong had just directed Tiedan to fire a grenade, and after running a few steps away, they heard the sound of mortar shells flying towards them.
"Run!" Yuesong shouted, and the two of them ran quickly for more than ten meters.
"Lie down." Yuesong shouted again. Tiedan was used to being bombed, and he knew how far he had to run before he should lie down without the captain's command.
Yuesong and Tiedan flew down and slid out for more than three meters on the ground. However, the successive explosions behind them still caused the two brothers to cover their ears and their ears were still buzzing. After the explosion, the two brothers were covered in mud.
.
"Get up, go, retreat." Yuesong pulled a handful of Tiedan lying on the ground.
"Withdraw." Renxian shouted, and the brothers who had taken shelter picked up their weapons and quickly and orderly withdrew from the enemy's range.
Yuesong and his brothers ran quickly for more than ten minutes until they reached a small river. Then he asked the brothers to stop and he ran into the river to wash his face and neck.
After washing, Yuesong sat by the river ditch, took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked Renxian: "Have you seen the Japanese mortar position?"
"Can you still see it? The Japanese fired three rounds in a row. Captain, you are trying too hard." Ren first took the cigarette away from Yuesong and took two puffs.
"My brother, we can't do it unless we fight. All the Japanese are smarter than monkeys. If we fight one more time, do you know how many of our brothers in the army will lose their lives?" Yuesong took the cigarette back and said,
He held it in his mouth and smoked it, "If you don't know how to smoke, don't waste food."
"Yes, Platoon Leader Sun, our captain can run out of food, but we can't run out of cigarettes." Shihong said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Chao is here. Come and sit here." Yuesong saw Brother Chao coming and greeted him quickly.
"Captain, you better take it easy in the back, you are our backbone." Brother Chao said.
"Okay, okay, take it easy, otherwise you, Renxian, won't be able to explain to Biaozi or to your younger siblings when you go back. Well, for Renxian, it's your sister-in-law, right?"
Brother Chao stopped joking, picked up a branch from the ground, paddled it on the wet ground, and said: "I just reconnoitred, here is the main bunker, two heavy machine guns, two light machine guns, here, here, and
There, there, there are several bunkers on the surface. Each bunker has a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns. The last mortar position discovered is at this location. The enemy's firepower deployment is completely based on the terrain.
Yes, it's quite reasonable. A large force wants to rush forward. If they don't knock down a few bunkers, they will be killed. Not to mention the unknown bunkers and unclear mortar positions. There may even be armored vehicles and mountain artillery.
This reconnaissance is far from enough."
When Brother Chao spoke, the brothers fell silent and stared at the sketch drawn by Brother Chao on the land.
Captain Zhu, who was watching as he watched, was now completely convinced by the special operations team. The gap was too obvious, so he was embarrassed to say more.
"Hey, there's still a way to get to the mountain. Brother Chao, Renxian, brothers, it's not an impossible task. Why did you invite our New Fourth Army special forces to come all the way? Take a rest and eat some solid food.
Fill up the kettle, let's go for a walk and have a look at the edge of the Nu River. When we get back, I'll smoke a few more cigarettes and the solution will come, isn't it, brothers?" Yuesong said optimistically.
"Yes." The brothers agreed and went about their own business.
