But Huang Zhongming's eyes were bright when he saw it, and he said: "As long as you can blow up the Japanese, it doesn't matter how far he is." Tilting his head, he asked Meng Taishan: "Brother Meng, can it be done like you do?"
Meng Taishan nodded, and while pulling the cannon back to its original position, he said: "The angle cannot be too low, the distance is too close, and it is difficult to shoot. If the angle is any lower, I am afraid that one of my own people will be blown up, and I will have to go to a military court." of."
Huang Zhongming nodded: "I understand."
Meng Taishan and Huang Zhongming then fired three more guns. Meng Taishan fired two guns and Huang Zhongming fired one. Naturally, these three guns failed to hit the target heavy artillery, but they killed many Japanese soldiers. The Japanese army discovered that their own After artillery became the weapon of attack for the student army, everyone was shocked and angry. Under the organization of several officers, they launched a more violent attack on the reconnaissance camp.
When Meng Taishan and Huang Zhongming used their cannons, they originally intended to destroy the two heavy cannons, but now it had such an effect. Jiang Tie changed his mind and was no longer in a hurry to destroy the two heavy cannons. He fired at Meng and Huang. The two shouted: "Go on, we will cover you." With a wave of their hands, they led the brothers to borrow those military cards to form a defense line some twenty meters in front of the two of them, and began to protect Qi Meng and Huang's two pseudo artillerymen wholeheartedly.
With their protection, Meng Taishan and Huang Zhongming calmed down and fired unscrupulously, causing the little Japs to cry and howl. The battle lasted for twenty minutes. They fired three boxes of artillery shells and killed two hundred Japs. , the little devils felt so powerful that they no longer dared to rush out of the cover of those scrapped military cards.
At this time, after more than 400 casualties, more than a thousand students led by Zhang Yifan finally broke through the Japs blocking the Eighth Brigade and the reconnaissance battalion, and successfully reunited with Jiang Tietou and the others. Zhang Yifan had participated in two periods of study. The night school of the Bingjun Army had a deeper understanding of the role of artillery in battle. He discovered that the reconnaissance battalion had actually captured two artillery pieces. He said to Jiang Tietou: "It's a bit dangerous over there at Lao Luan. You have artillery. Hurry up and provide support." .”
Jiang Tietou understood and mobilized his brothers to turn the two field cannons around so that Mengtai Mountain could immediately support Luanshan. He also said to Zhang Yifan, "There are two heavy cannons over there. Let's go and seize them."
After the reconnaissance battalion joined Zhang Yifan's troops, they had formed a local strength advantage. Zhang Yifan was overjoyed when he learned that there were two heavy artillery pieces there. They left two hundred men to protect Meng and Huang, and led the others to attack northward. , ten minutes later, they captured the two heavy cannons. The heavy cannons were difficult to move, so everyone pushed the two field cannons over, and then built a small artillery position together with the two heavy cannons.
With the troops fully in the ascendancy and no worries, Meng Taishan directed everyone to secure the four cannons and went to search for the shells himself. A few minutes later, they found more than a dozen shells next to an overturned military truck carrying artillery shells. When Zhang Yifan saw a cannonball box with a skull printed on it, he immediately exclaimed: "It's a poison gas bomb." Then he squatted down and carefully looked at the inscription on it, raised his head and said to everyone: "Mustard gas."
Jiang Tietou also had a certain understanding of poison gas bombs. He said: "The northwest wind is blowing now, let the Ninth Brigade go back behind the Japanese in a roundabout way, use it."
Zhang Yifan raised his head and looked at the place where Luan Shan and the others were holding, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay." Then he personally asked for a walkie-talkie from the communications staff officer to contact Ding Haiyun, and said to him: "Old Ding, we have captured the Japanese cannon. , discovered the poison gas bomb, you should immediately evade to the southwest, we are going to use the poison gas bomb against the Japanese."
Ding Haiyun was annoyed at the delay in opening up the situation. Hearing this, he said: "Okay, let the little devil take the blame for himself."
Zhang Yifan hung up the phone and asked Meng Taishan whether he could control the impact point of the artillery shells. After receiving a positive answer, he asked them to test-fire two rounds with ordinary artillery shells, and then used a walkie-talkie to contact Luan Shan and ask him to evacuate here. Bian Lai: "Lao Luan, we have captured four artillery pieces and a lot of poison gas bombs. The little Japs want to use poison gas bombs against us, so we will retaliate in kind. We are about to fire the cannons. You should withdraw immediately." Let’s come this way.”
When Meng Taishan and Huang Zhongming began to use the captured artillery to bombard the Japanese army, Shinkura Yinong realized the powerful relationship and immediately strengthened the offensive. He used several armored vehicles as the main offensive force and launched an attack on Luan Shan and the others regardless of casualties. Although Shan repelled two consecutive Japanese attacks with his two anti-material sniper rifles, he also suffered huge casualties. He was realizing that it would be impossible to block the next round of Japanese attacks. Zhang Yifan called ,
Luan Shan had only more than 300 men left at this time, and half of them were wounded. So far in the fierce fighting, the Eighth Brigade had suffered the most casualties, with more than 3,500 men and less than 1,000 left. This made him The Japanese army was particularly hateful. After he asked about the type of gas bombs, he asked his brothers to remove the mines from their bodies and throw them down on the spot. Then he led dozens of people to clear the way and killed Zhang Yifan and others.
Before they retreated, Meng Taishan and the others had already test-fired several artillery shells at the location of the main force of the Japanese army. This made Shinkura Kazuno very afraid. He immediately ordered to speed up the attack, hoping to stick Luan Shan and the others and let Meng Taishan and others use rat weapons. However, , as the Japanese at the front stepped on the mines, their attack speed was suddenly curbed. By the time they cleared a channel, the Ninth Brigade had completed the transfer. So, with the sound of several cannons, the Japanese army's nightmare came. ,
The two heavy artillery fired first, followed by the two field artillery. The heavy artillery fired ordinary shells. After exploding in the Japanese army, although the sound was huge, the scene was shocking, and many Japanese were killed, it did not cause the Japanese to have too much impact. He was so frightened that when the two poison gas bombs exploded, Aragura Kazuno immediately went crazy.
"Poison gas bombs are mustard gas bombs." He roared, his heart filled with despair.
Wearing a gas mask does not provide much protection against mustard gas. With the northwest wind blowing again at this moment, a poison gas bomb can cover a large area when it explodes. Meng Taishan and Huang Zhongming's artillery skills are actually very average, but they are enough to give them enough protection. The Japanese army was fatally injured. Two gas bombs exploded, and then two more... One after another, the light yellow mist spread under the magnesium light of the flares. Needless to say, the Japanese in the center of the explosion fell to the ground immediately. Their throats were torn, and as time went by, more and more Japs inhaled the poisonous gas or had their skin infected by the poisonous gas. They knelt down helplessly on the ground, scratching or tearing their skin while howling miserably. The throat attack not only made me miserable, but also affected the Japanese soldiers around me. The morale of the Japanese army dropped sharply, and deserters soon appeared.
"Your Excellency, what should we do?" Several officers surrounded Shinkura Ichinon's armored vehicle, hoping that he would come up with a solution.
What could Ichino do? Seeing more and more officers and soldiers nearby being poisoned and falling to the ground, and the gas bombs were still falling continuously, his teeth were almost broken. Apart from giving orders, I continued to attack, but made no progress at all.
Finally, when a poison gas bomb fell next to his car and shrouded several junior officers in the yellow mist, the little devil collapsed. After he hurriedly shouted "Go west" to the driver, he took the lead in the direction. Flee to the west,
As soon as he escaped, the morale of the Japanese army dropped to zero, and the entire army collapsed immediately.
