"Battalion commander, fortunately we only have one platoon on the high ground, and we also dig deep trenches and anti-artillery holes. Otherwise, with such fierce artillery fire from the devils, no matter how many of us are, we will be blown up completely! The instructor standing beside Xiao Yunshan said with a palpitating face.

Xiao Yunshan didn't speak, but held the binoculars, stared at the battlefield and ordered: "Artillery, all mortars are aimed at the devil mortar position, and strive for five rounds of salvo to kill them!" ”

"Five, six, immediately move in place and block the back road of the little devil!"

"Woo woo woo ......" Not long after, the scream of cannonballs crossing the sky sounded above Xiao Yunshan's head.

Three shells with a finished zigzag distribution smashed into the devil's artillery position and exploded.

Despite not hitting the target, the violent explosion scared the devil artillerymen a lot.

Immediately stop the shelling, adjust the turret, and prepare for it.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the devil artillery squadron, which was also equipped with mortars in the Eighth Route Army, subconsciously decided to retreat in the face of shells falling from the sky.

However, after confirming that only three shells flew over and that the hit rate was very poor, he decided not to retreat on the spot and to counterattack on the spot.

"The artillery skills of Tubalu are too poor, find them immediately, counterattack with shells, and kill them!" The leader of the devil artillery squadron ordered loudly, very arrogant.

These devil gunners are worthy of being elite, two gunners serve a mortar, squatting on the ground and begin to adjust the angle and direction of mortar fire.

At the same time, five or six hundred meters away, the nine mortars of the mortar company of the artillery battalion of the new regiment were also fine-tuning all the mortars according to the test firing just now.

"Five rapid shots per cannon, fire immediately!" The mortar company commander ordered with excitement.

The leader of the devil squadron, who was urging his subordinates to hurry up and adjust the mortar, turned pale as soon as he heard the screaming sound of the shells.

"Baga, we were fooled, the mortars equipped by the Eighth Route Army are not three at all!"

As soon as he finished saying "Boom ......" words, a violent explosion sounded around him, and he was also overturned by the air wave generated by the explosion.

By the time he got up, the artillery positions in front of him had been blown up in disarray.

At least half of the six shells hit the target, and more than a dozen gunners were killed and wounded and fell to the ground. Three mortars, which were about to be adjusted, were directly blown over and fell to the ground, and one of the mortars, because it was too far from the point of impact, was directly dismembered into several parts.

"Retreat, retreat immediately, get out of here!" The squadron leader, who reacted in shock, shouted loudly.

This was obviously a long-planned counterattack by the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army, and when the enemy was strong and we were weak, and we didn't even know where the opponent's position was, retreating was definitely the only chance to save our lives.

The devil gunner, who received the order, was glad and immediately disassembled the mortar, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong.

However, the rate of fire of the mortars was too fast, and as soon as they began to move, a second round of shells with a screeching sound flew over.

Because of preparation, this time, many devil gunners subconsciously lay on the ground and dodged the deadly explosion.

However, quite a few gunners were still killed, and a mortar was blown up.

The squadron leader finally calmed down, got up from the ground and shouted: "Retreat immediately, the artillery is not needed, get out of here first!" ”

Ida Shaozo was also frightened at this time, and the sudden artillery attack not only made him realize the strength of his opponent, but also shattered his dream.

As the captain of the brigade, Ida knew very well what the advantages of the imperial army were in front of the Eighth Route Army.

Now not only does he have no advantage in artillery fire, but he may be pressed and beaten by the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army in the next battle.

Thinking of this, Ida's brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Sir, the mortar squadron has suffered heavy losses and has no way to participate in the next battle!" The adjutant rushed over and replied with his head bowed, his tone very heavy.

"Contact the brigade command immediately and request reinforcements from aviation! There is no artillery, we still have planes, let the planes blow up the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army! Major General Ida quickly reacted from the shock at the beginning and then ordered very calmly.

The adjutant suddenly reminded: "Then do you want to continue the attack!" ”

"Retreat, retreat first. The Eighth Route Army has artillery, we don't, and attacking at this time is to send us to death! At the critical moment of life and death, Ida Shaozo did not faint and ordered decisively.

The puppet army of six or seven hundred days, leaving behind the artillery positions that were covered with corpses after being bombed, retreated back in great confusion.

Ida Shaoza's idea was very simple, temporarily retreat out of the range of mortars, and not let his subordinates be exposed to the shelling of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the subordinates of the rear team who changed to the front team had just pushed back less than a hundred meters, and at this time, the most unwilling to hear the gunfire rang out behind him.

"Sir, behind us are the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they have occupied the two hills behind us, and they are condescending to attack our retreating troops. Also, they were armed with heavy machine guns, and we suffered heavy losses! ”

"Fooled, the Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate itself here!" This idea came to Ida Shaozo's mind subconsciously.

The adjutant next to him also shouted: "Sir, does the Eighth Route Army want to destroy us here?" ”

"Impossible!" Ida Shaoza, who had regained his senses, vetoed without hesitation.

"There are only so many of them that they can't have the strength to destroy us. And even if they really wanted to annihilate us, it would be at night, not now! ”

"Do not forget that in just over an hour the planes of the Aerospace Forces will arrive. If they do not retreat yet, the air strikes of the aviation alone will cost them a lot! ”

"Unless the commander of this gang of dirt and eight roads is a fool, he will definitely not make such a decision!"

The adjutant hesitated for a moment and continued to ask, "Then why are they blocking our back road?" In the face of our heavy encirclement and suppression, shouldn't they retreat and transfer? ”

"At this time, blocking our rear road, won't they worry that we will drag them here, and when the air planes arrive, they will directly launch a counterattack to kill them?"

Ida Shaozuo's brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something.

"Hold them back......"

"I see, this is a bluff, putting on a posture that wants to annihilate us completely, and then forcing us to stay here and wait for help. In this way, they can attack us from above. Do not forget that the Eighth Route Army now has mortars, we do not. ”

"As long as we choose to stay here, wherever we hide, we risk mortar fire. As long as they have enough ammunition, they can blow us up almost with shells alone. If that's the case, even if they don't have enough troops, they can win more with less and wipe us out here! ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army is really cunning and calculating, I almost fell for it!"

The adjutant asked thoughtfully: "I understand, sir, what you mean is that the Eighth Route Army blocking behind us is not many, they are bluffing, the purpose is to let us stay here and wait for help!" ”

"Yes, this is the only explanation I can think of, and the only way for the Eighth Route Army to attack us during the day and destroy us before the aviation arrives!" Ida Shaoza affirmed.

The adjutant immediately replied: "Since there are not many Eighth Route Army behind us, then I will organize it immediately."

Troops attack, open our retreat, get out of here as soon as possible! ”
