Chapter 532 Zhao Zilong's Artillery
Chapter 532 Zhao Zilong's Artillery
"A brigade?! You really overestimate the devils!"
Yuan Shuai smiled disapprovingly.
"This Japanese brigade had a battle with the Hongfei Regiment, oh no, it was with the New 75st Regiment of the Military Control Commission, in Mucheng before. The Japanese were estimated to be only about people. Although the Military Control Commission suffered heavy casualties, it also killed a lot of Japanese soldiers. In addition, our mm field artillery also killed a lot of Japanese soldiers. Just now, your people cooperated with our field artillery to kill almost half of the Japanese brigade!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Japs now have at most 6,000 people!"
"Six, six thousand people?! That's not enough. I only have one regiment with more than a thousand people! You want me to split the troops into two groups!"
Zhou Xingchang was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
He had only a thousand men, divided into two groups, with only five hundred men on each side.
Even if they could launch a sneak attack, the Japanese would definitely counterattack them once they realized what was happening.
By then, won’t his 500 or so men be cannon fodder?
Yuan Shuai pointed at the field artillery beside him and said with a smile.
"I know what you're worried about, but don't forget, we still have twelve cannons and a lot of shells! If we defend the county town, we won't stand a chance. If we take the initiative to attack, we may still have a chance!"
Zhou Xingchang gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, even if we defend it, we will die. Let's give it a try!"...
On the other hand, after the Japanese retreated, they were also hungry and immediately took the time to eat lunch.
At the same time, the Japanese brigade commander also asked the signalman to urge the air force to come for support as soon as possible.
Although the plane had taken off, it took a while for it to arrive.
On the left wing of the devils.
More than a thousand Black Tiger soldiers, led by Zhao Zilong, quickly approached the Japanese.
Zhao Zilong was very excited when he saw the Japanese eating.
Although the Japanese had a large number of troops, Zhao Dalei asked Zhao Zilong to bring fifteen mortars to support General Yuan.
Although there were only fifteen mortars, the team was equipped with many war horses, twenty-five of which were used to carry the shells.
There are three shells in a box, one warhorse carries four boxes, and 25 warhorses mean 100 boxes of 300 shells.
Moreover, these shells were either added with chili powder or lime powder.
Zhao Zilong arranged the artillery and infantry positions, and immediately asked the signalman to contact General Yuan by radio.
At this time, Yuan Shuai's team had quickly detoured to the right wing of the Japanese.
However, the Japanese were also very cunning. There was only one regiment in the front, and the Japanese brigade headquarters was not in the front.
But Yuan Shuai had already monitored the Japanese radio station through the communication radio and knew that the Japanese planes would be coming soon.
Without having time to think too much, he directly let Zhou Xingchang take charge here, while he continued to move forward with his men.
At the same time, let the monkey provide Ying'er with the bombing coordinates.
Let Zhao Zilong's artillery bombard the Japanese troops in the middle of the rear.
After Ying'er received the coordinates, she immediately used twelve 75mm field guns to bombard it.
At the same time, Zhao Zilong's mortar bombarded the Japanese in the middle of the rear.
After all, Zhao Zilong also knew that there was a brigade here, and when he was setting up the artillery positions, he had already sent artillery observers to move forward.
At this time, he already knew the location of the Japanese team in the middle, and at the same time ordered fifteen mortars to bombard the Japanese team in the middle.
For a moment, the Japanese troops in the front and the Japanese troops in the middle were bombarded by artillery shells at the same time.
In the front are the first and second battalions of one of the Japanese regiments, and in the middle are the third battalion and battalion headquarters.
The crazy artillery shells made the Japanese doubt their lives.
Not only that.
The light and heavy machine guns hidden on the hillside on the right wing were also firing crazily at the Japanese.
Zhou Xingchang's men also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese right wing.
For a time, the remnants of the first battalion and the second battalion in the front suffered heavy casualties.
The captain of the Japanese first battalion was killed in the explosion.
The captain of the second battalion was injured in the explosion and quickly asked the signalman to call for support.
Unfortunately, their Third Battalion and the Regiment Headquarters were being bombarded crazily by fifteen mortars.
Continuous artillery shells bombarded their camp.
Bombing of pepper bombs and lime powder bombs.
The entire position was turned into red and white powder floating everywhere.
The Japanese soldiers' eyes were either choked by the chili powder and tears were streaming down their faces, or they were burned by the lime powder and screamed in pain.
Even if the Japanese wanted to retreat, they couldn't find the direction.
When the Japanese brigade commander behind learned of the situation, he immediately became angry and yelled.
"Bakayaloo, why are there so many Nationalist troops here?"
"Notify the Second Regiment to provide quick support and destroy their mortar positions!"
"Hi Yi!"
The Japanese commander of the Second Regiment quickly led his regiment to provide support.
There are really only more than 6,000 Japanese here.
There was only one battalion and a brigade headquarters left with the Japanese brigade commander.
After the Japanese regiment left.
General Yuan has already brought his men to the flank of the Japanese brigade headquarters.
Monkey and others lay on the hillside, looking at the situation on the opposite hillside, with an evil smile on their lips.
"Boss, the Japanese brigade headquarters is on the opposite mountain!"
"But the devils seem to have another large group. How do we defeat them?"
Everyone looked at Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai smiled cheerfully.
"What else is there to say? Just inform Zhao Zilong and use artillery shells to cover this place, right?"
Upon hearing this, Monkey and others were startled and quickly used the radio to inform Zhao Zilong.
After receiving the news, Zhao Zilong quickly ordered the artillery to adjust their positions and use artillery shells to cover the enemy brigade headquarters.
Hearing the sound of the whistling artillery shells, the Japanese soldiers on the hillside were so scared that their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
"Bagayalu, mortar!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
A series of shells exploded on the hillside.
Many Japanese soldiers were blown away, and many were blown to pieces.
Chili powder mixed with lime powder flew everywhere.
The Japanese soldiers who were not killed in the explosion lay in a pool of blood and wailed in pain.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese brigade commander quickly ordered his troops to retreat.
"Damn it, you still want to retreat? Fight me!"
At this time, the marshal saw that the Japanese wanted to retreat and immediately opened fire.
They threw grenades at the Japanese and fired at them with light machine guns.
The sniper rifle aimed at the Japanese's head and fired.
Several Japanese soldiers were shot in the head one after another.
"Bagayalu, there's a sniper!"
The Japanese brigade commander was so scared that he quickly dodged and put on a gas mask.
However, Yuan Shuai's communications soldier had asked Zhao Zilong to adjust the shooting parameters again.
The shells soon landed on the side of the Japanese brigade commander.
The Japanese brigade commander was blown to ashes on the spot.
When the Japanese army regiment that had just launched the attack saw the situation, they didn't know what to do.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese captain didn't want to die here, so he quickly ordered his troops to evacuate.
Zhao Zilong's artillery observer had already seen these devils and quickly informed Zhao Zilong of the coordinates.
Zhao Zilong's artillery adjusted its position again.
