Chapter 239: Attack from both front and back, six field guns
More than a thousand people from the Second Regiment walked to the road that the Japanese truck had just passed. Xu Dali waved his hand, and the team immediately split into two parts and went into the mountains and forests on both sides.
There were only about 300 people left with Xu. The leader of the group was seen holding light machine guns, machine guns or short guns, while the rest were either holding rifles with bayonets or holding broadswords.
This was a commando team carefully organized by Xu Dali to deal with the Japanese artillery.
"Li Shuangxi, I won't say any more. You must have seen it in the woods just now, a total of six artillery pieces. I want all six artillery pieces and the shells!" Xu Dali said in a muffled voice.
"Commander, don't worry. I know what's going on. Leave it to our commando team!" Li Shuangxi, the third battalion commander of the second regiment, was also itching to panic when he thought of the six field guns of the Japanese army.
Among the regiments under the independent detachment, only Wuqin's third regiment has two Italian cannons. The other regiments use mortars. Although there is no shortage of artillery shells, anyone who sees the small Japanese's large-caliber cannon is itching to panic.
"Let's take action!" Xu Dali said.
"yes!"
Li Shuangxi waved his hand, and the soldiers holding automatic fire were in front, and the soldiers holding bayonets and swords were behind.
Because Ouchi Weiwei was afraid to move forward, the Japanese army moved slowly, so Li Shuangxi and his commando team soon caught up with the artillery at the rear of the Japanese marching column.
The Japanese reinforcements were equipped with a reinforced field artillery squadron, including six Type 38 75mm field guns.
Type 38 field artillery is an old-fashioned artillery piece. It is one of the field suppression artillery pieces with the largest equipment of the Japanese army. This old-fashioned artillery has high shooting accuracy, weighs 947kg, and has a range of 8350m.
The weight is twice that of ordinary mountain cannons.
The Japanese army also has Type 90 and Type 95 75mm field guns. The Type 90 has a very long range, 14,000 meters away. It is very popular with the artillery troops, but not very popular with the Japanese theater commanders. The main reason is that this type of Japanese gun is better than other 75mm guns.
The field gun is heavy, weighing 1600kg. It is difficult to maneuver when the road conditions are bad. It must be towed by an artillery tractor, which is mostly used for the main gun of tanks.
The new Type 95 field artillery has a longer range, 10,700m, is light in weight, 1,108kg, and has a long barrel life. It is very popular with Japanese theater commanders. It is mainly equipped with field artillery units of Japanese infantry brigade and above field units.
...
The Japanese army was moving at a snail's pace, but for unknown reasons, it stopped again.
Jiro Inada, the captain of the field artillery squadron who was sitting on the first truck, saw this and couldn't help but cursed: "Baga, Ouchi Weiwu is really as timid as a mouse. He is not worthy of such powerful artillery support. He was actually beaten by a country without artillery."
The eight-way blockade lasted for more than three hours!"
Inada Jiro saw the performance of the two engineer squadrons fighting in the front. In his opinion, if it was an infantry squadron with artillery support, it would have arrived at Fengle Station long ago.
As the truck stopped, two Japanese artillerymen jumped out of the truck and trotted to a tree not far from the truck.
When the roar of the truck disappeared, Li Shuangxi and his men hid on the side of the road.
Seeing the two little devils hissing openly in front of them, with a wave of their hands, the two soldiers put the short guns on their waists and touched them quietly.
"Xiaojiao-kun, you should go see a doctor. Intermittence is not a good sign!" A little devil shook in comfort and laughed at his companion who was not done yet.
"Baga, is this how you treat your seniors?" Kojima cursed harshly.
"Gaba!" came the crisp sound of branches breaking.
"Who!" Kojima Shige was very alert and without caring about anything else, he took out the self-defense pistol in the gun box.
Two black figures jumped out from behind the little Jaap. Without the little Jaap's extra time to react, he covered his mouth and nose with his left hand, and slashed his neck with the bayonet of his right hand.
Blood spurted out instantly, and the restrained little devil's body kept struggling, and then gradually became silent.
Later, Li Shuangxi followed up with a large force and said softly: "Be smart with your hands, don't let the little devil blow up the artillery!"
After Li Shuangxi finished speaking, he rushed forward immediately.
Since the position was moved forward, only the Japanese artillery and artillery shells were on the truck, and the ammunition squad and escort squad followed the truck on foot.
Several Japanese soldiers gathered together, leaning on the truck and chatting, when they suddenly saw a group of black figures approaching.
"There's something going on!" A young Japanese sergeant was the first to alert.
"Ta-ta-ta!" The commando soldiers did not hide the slightest. They came up with a hail of bullets, and several Japanese soldiers were immediately mopped down.
"Comrades, rush, don't give the little devil time to react!"
The commando soldiers roared towards the Japs' trucks. The Japs' trucks all had their headlights on, and the soldiers could clearly see where the Japs were.
At the same time, two battalions of soldiers who were ambushing in the mountains and forests on both sides moved upon hearing the sound, and their shouts of killing resounded through the empty mountains and forests.
Sitting in the truck, Inada Jiro was frightened, his face turned pale, and he reacted quickly and said loudly: "Quick, drive, and join the infantry in front immediately!"
The kid in the driver's seat honked the horn twice, put the gear into gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the truck roared immediately.
Unexpectedly, gunfire rang out in the forest on one side, and a string of bullets shattered the windshield, beating the two people in the car into pieces.
The leading truck stalled, and the entire convoy crawled into bed.
"Damn it, if you still want to run away, I'm just trying to protect you!" said a company commander of the second regiment.
Just when the gunfire rang out, Ouchi Weiwu understood that the Eighth Route Army had taken a retreat. His first reaction was to break out of the encirclement and return to Xingtai alive.
"Guteng Squadron blocked the Eighth Route Army in front. Ishino Squadron followed the headquarters to join the field artillery squadron and immediately broke out from behind!" Ouchi Weiwu said eagerly, not forgetting to let Guteng Squadron in front block Jing Dagang's regiment before breaking through.
"Your Excellency, Captain, why not break out into the mountains and forests on both sides!" the adjutant said from the side.
"Baga, your work is so stupid. The Eighth Route Army is best at doing cold shots in the mountains and forests!" Ouchi Weiwu looked at the dark mountains on both sides and shuddered inexplicably, as if he was bleeding.
Waiting for him to enter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is just one of them. On the other hand, Ouchi Weiwu knew very well that if the six field guns accompanying him were lost, even if he returned to the execution platform unharmed, Shimo Yuan
Even Mi Xiong couldn't spare him.
Here Ouchi Weiwu is urgently urging the troops, and the First Regiment has also taken action.
Since the Japanese army did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, Jing Dagang changed his order. Without waiting for the second regiment's signal flare, as soon as the gunfire rang out, the two battalions of the first regiment rushed forward and entangled with Gu Teng's squadron.
The Japanese field artillery squadron did not carry heavy machine guns. Only the escort squad was equipped with three light machine guns, the ammunition squad was equipped with some rifles, and the rest of the artillery were all equipped with Southern Type 14 pistols.
After the commandos approached, they did not use grenades as usual, but with the powerful firepower in their hands, the battle became one-sided.
In a hurry, the Japanese army relied on trucks to resist.
One side has intensive firepower, the other side has sparse firepower, and people on both sides fall down from time to time.
The commando's firepower output never stopped. When a machine gunner fell, the soldier next to him picked up the machine gun and immediately replaced it.
In less than five minutes, the commando team killed all six trucks of the Japanese Field Artillery Squadron, and the remaining Japs were strangled one by one by the soldiers who rushed out of the mountains and forests.
"The Japs' infantry is about to arrive. The machine gunners are setting up machine gun positions on the spot!" Li Shuangxi shouted loudly.
After hearing Li Shuangxi's order, the commando soldiers entered the mountains and forests on both sides, looked for bunkers, and laid an ambush.
Xu Dali touched the Japanese army's Type 38 field artillery and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "The kid's artillery is really a good thing, but it's too bulky!"
"Commander, don't get too happy yet, the little devils haven't been dealt with yet!" Political Commissar Zhang Hao said coldly.
"Have the artillery battery and heavy machine gun company gone up yet?" Xu Dali asked.
"Report to the captain, we have gone up to support!" a soldier reported.
