Chapter 1059: True True and False Heavy Artillery Battalion (First Update!) )
Woowoo...... Rumble ......"
The first bomb slammed into the forest five hundred meters away with a screeching sound.
Black plumes of smoke wrapped in fireballs rose into the air, soaring into the sky.
The sound of the explosion came at the end, like thunder, and it shook everyone's ears.
"Boom...... "Woo woo woo ...... "Immediately after, the second, third bombs began to fall.
Yuan Qingfeng's ears could not hear anything except the sound of explosions and the screaming of cannonballs across the sky.
The rising black smoke quickly spread overhead, blocking all the vision, and it was not visible even if it was too far away.
You can only lie on the ground and open your mouth to relieve the impact of the shock wave on your internal organs.
After more than twenty minutes, the continuous explosion finally died down.
After a few more minutes, the plane began to return, and the roar overhead slowly weakened, and finally disappeared completely.
"The Japanese planes are gone, and everyone who can still move gets up, rescues the wounded and artillery, and counts the losses as soon as possible." Yuan Qingfeng was the first to get up from the ground and ordered in a hurry.
"I thought about it just now, and the reason why the heavy artillery battalion was exposed was that the problem appeared last night."
"Our artillery is too heavy, we can only take the road, as long as the little devil agents keep an eye on the road, our every move will be exposed."
"I want to report to the regiment commander immediately, the heavy artillery battalion can't be in such a hurry anymore, otherwise it will be blown up by the little devil plane before it reaches the battlefield."
At the headquarters of the garrison regiment, the news that nine Japanese planes had penetrated into the hinterland of the base area had reached here half an hour earlier.
Li Hao's first reaction was that the heavy artillery battalion was in danger, and then ordered the communications platoon to call the heavy artillery battalion and the mobile battalion uninterruptedly to remind them to pay attention to air defense.
At that time, the two units were being bombed by planes, and the radio stations were all turned off, and no news was received at all.
By the time the regimental headquarters received a telegram of reminders, the bombing had ended, and none of the nine planes had been lost.
"Regiment commander, the heavy artillery battalion is in a hurry, they were bombed by the Japanese planes!" Zhou Liang hurriedly walked into the war room and reported with a solemn face.
Li Hao guessed this result half an hour ago, but he was still taken aback.
The heavy artillery battalion is too important, and the garrison regiment has won many battles before, and they have contributed to it.
In the next attack on Guanshan Town, whether the heavy artillery battalion participates in the battle or not is directly related to whether the garrison regiment can fight this battle, and its importance is self-evident.
Staring at Zhou Liang, he asked anxiously: "Is the heavy artillery battalion losing a lot, can it still participate in the battle?" ”
"Battalion Commander Yuan reported that because of the dispersion of artillery in advance and the release of false signal smoke to confuse the Japanese aircraft group, the heavy artillery battalion only lost three heavy guns, and the remaining eleven were intact."
Li Hao let out a long breath: "Fortunately, the loss is not big!" ”
Without waiting for Li Hao to continue speaking, Zhou Liang's words suddenly changed and continued to report: "But Battalion Commander Yuan reported that the heavy artillery battalion could not arrive at Guanshan Town on time. ”
"He judged that the heavy artillery battalion was exposed on the road."
"The artillery is too heavy and the dependence on the road is too great. As long as the Japanese puppet army spies keep an eye on all the roads in the base area, no matter where the heavy artillery battalion goes, it will be exposed. ”
"If the heavy artillery battalion is bombed by the Japanese aircraft group again, even if it is prepared in advance, the losses will be very large."
"So until a solution is thought of, the heavy artillery battalion had better stay still!"
"No way!" Li Hao decisively refused.
"The heavy artillery battalion is our killer weapon to fight devils, not an ornament."
"If I have been hiding in the forest for fear of losses and have not dared to move, delaying the operation of the troops, then what else do I want them to do, it is better to let the little devils blow up, so that some devil shells can be consumed."
Wang Hong reminded: "Regiment leader, your words are true, but we can't know that there are tigers in the mountains, and we prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" ”
Li Hao frowned and didn't answer, and suddenly shouted two minutes later: "There is a way." ”
"Isn't the little devil eyeing our heavy artillery battalion? Then we'll give them a plan. ”
"Send a telegram to Yuan Qingfeng and ask him to contact the local troops nearby, find some carpenters, and make seven or eight fake cannons."
"After dark, a company of the heavy artillery battalion and a company of the mobile battalion set off first with fake guns and two or three real guns, and moved in the direction where the Japanese puppet army was located on the east road."
"Disperse and hide before dawn to guard against air raids by little devils."
"The real heavy artillery battalion stayed in Gangziling, and two days later, that is, tomorrow night, disguised as a grain transport team, moved to Guanshan Town as a company."
"Tell Yuan Qingfeng that the heavy artillery battalion can no longer have losses, and it can be slower at night, two hours less, and it can no longer be exposed."
"We will postpone our attack on Guanshan Town, and we will wait for the heavy artillery battalion to arrive before launching an attack."
After the order was issued, Li Hao shifted his gaze to Wang Hong.
"Commissar, in this way, the pressure on your shoulders is great."
"Before we take the Japanese puppet army in Guanshan Town, the blockade ditch and the blockade wall must not be built."
"So these few nights, you have to organize troops and villagers to destroy the blockade ditch."
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the communications staff officer rushed into the war room with a smile on his face as if he had eaten honey.
"Sir, the air force telegram."
"They successfully completed the bombing under the guidance of intelligence officers on the ground, and all the warplanes returned home without any losses."
The commander immediately ordered the commander of the intelligence section: "Order your men to find out the losses of the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment at once. ”
"If the heavy artillery battalion is not completely wiped out, we must keep an eye on the remaining artillery and cooperate with the aviation to bomb them a second time."
"The power of heavy artillery is too great, and a large-scale artillery unit with more than a dozen heavy guns can completely change the situation of a battle, so I will never allow the garrison regiment to have heavy artillery units to participate in the next battle."
The head of the intelligence section immediately replied: "Don't worry, sir, I will arrange it now." ”
At the assembly site of the Gangziling Heavy Artillery Battalion, looking at the artillery in front of him whose barrels were bent, Yuan Qingfeng looked heartbroken.
The most critical part of these heavy artillery is the barrel, with the current strength of the garrison regiment arsenal, there is no way to repair such a large-caliber barrel, once the battlefield is damaged, it means that this artillery is completely scrapped.
With a calm face, he ordered with a very painful heart: "Remove all the parts on the artillery, keep the good ones for backup, and send the bad ones to the arsenal for recuperation." ”
"The steel used to make guns is all special steel, and it is definitely no problem to make barrels and mortar barrels after returning to the furnace, and they can't be wasted."
"Battalion commander, regimental commander telegram!" The instructor came over suddenly.
After reading the telegram, Yuan Qingfeng's whole person was obviously a lot more relaxed.
Three heavy artillery pieces were destroyed, and what he was most worried about was the regimental headquarters being held accountable.
Now it seems that I have overthought myself.
The regiment commander not only did not hold him accountable, but also figured out a way for himself to move the heavy artillery battalion safely to Guanshan Town.
Seeing the soldiers who were dismantling the artillery, his eyes lit up and he ordered: "When you can transport the cannon barrel, you must make a big fanfare, and you must take the road, so that the spies lurking around us can see that we have heavy artillery destroyed, and there is more than one." ”
"Commissar, the task of making fake cannons is entrusted to you."
"I am responsible for the task of camouflaging the real cannon, and I must make the real one fake, the fake one real, the real and the fake, so that the little devils can't tell the difference."
