Chapter 46: Shelling

Xiangshui Beach.

A new vacant lot appeared at the east end of the village, and the trees and grass around it were cleared, and even the land was leveled and compacted.

In the open space, dozens of ordinary people who had been forcibly recruited by the devils were carrying bricks or sand and gravel on their shoulders under the threat of bayonets, and under the sun, the heavy sand and gravel bricks crushed these already thin people.

Grabbing. From time to time, ordinary people fall down due to physical exhaustion, and bricks and stones are scattered on the ground, and when the devil sees someone falling, he exposes a whip, and scolds angrily between words, as if driving livestock.

Under the threat of bayonets, the common people did not dare to be angry or speak, so they could only force themselves to continue their work.

Among the fallen bricks and stones, you can even see a lot of old green bricks, and the devils actually forcibly demolished the houses of ordinary people to repair the turret.

In the center of the clearing, there are a few plainclothes devils pointing and drawing, directing the laborers to build the turret, and even occasionally doing it themselves.

On a small hillside not far from the clearing, dozens of devils stayed in makeshift earthen bunkers, posing as if they were raising their guns and guarding, but the ghost soldiers who yawned from time to time proved that the vigilance was nothing more than a façade.

After all, it has been five days, from leveling the land to now the foundation has been tamped, and there have been no accidents during this period, no guerrilla attacks, no night attacks by the Eighth Route Army, even if the superiors still strictly ask for more vigilance every day, but it has been fine for so long, and the devils have long stopped taking this order seriously.

"Kenichi Omori, your squad is in charge of guarding, and the rest of the people rest."

It was midday, and the squadron leader's order came.

Suddenly, the squadron of devils in charge of the garrison left their positions one after another, gathered their guns and piled them up, ran to an open field to fire and cook, and even one guy didn't know where to get a pig and was ready to slaughter it.

The pig was apparently snatched from a common man's house.

Among them, the squadron leader was the most excited, this old devil actually held the katana in both hands and crossed his chest, posing like a classical samurai, as if he was facing not a pig, but a captive enemy.

"Hey!"

Nodding reluctantly, the squad leader known as Kenichi Omori reluctantly took his subordinates to guard and patrol.

Where there are people, there is fighting, not to mention in a hierarchical army like the Japanese army, Kenichi Omori is the most excluded of the three squad leaders of this squadron.

"Yaga..."

After walking away, Kenichi Omori scolded fiercely.

巘戅 chasing the text. The officers of his squadron are all Nagoya people, and he is a native of Tokyo, plus he was promoted quickly, less than two years after joining the army, he went from a recruit to a squad leader, and he had no background, so he was ostracized, and the rest of the squad leaders and squadron leaders did not treat him and excluded him everywhere.

However, Kenichi Omori still dutifully completed the task, led his subordinates to the position, put on guard, and even hid in the bunker. As if there was an enemy on the opposite side preparing to attack.

The devil promotion system is inherently cramped for devils who have no relationship and no background, and no military school experience, and can be promoted to squad leader in less than two years, only military merit can be relied on, and those who can survive, Omori Kenichi is still very capable.

When he came from Yangquan, the scale of more than 1,000 people, and the reinforced concrete mobilized in large quantities, made him realize that the enemy he was dealing with this time was probably not simple, as soon as he came, he and his colleagues who were originally stationed in Shou County inquired about intelligence, and learned that the nearby Eighth Route Army was well-armed, with sufficient machine gun bullets, and even equipped with mortars, and its combat effectiveness was very strong.

He also knew that the legend was true.

The Eighth Route Army really has shooters who can hit 500 meters away at night.

厺厽 追文小说网 zhuiwen.org 厺厽。而且, and also knew the troops to deal with this time.

Li Yunlong, and his independent regiment.

The one who killed the captain of the Sakata Wing, the one who planned to attack Shuangfeng Town and the north of Yangquan. Li Yunlong, the Eighth Route Army, who was famous in the North China Front.

As for the ambush and annihilation of a squadron of the Kwantung Army, these devil grassroots officers are not too unclear.

It is also for these reasons that Kenichi Omori is very cautious and orders his subordinates to maintain a high level of vigilance and always hide in the bunker, but fortunately, Kenichi Omori has some prestige and has strong control over his subordinates, and his subordinates obey his orders.

"Pay attention to increased vigilance."

Seeing that the soldiers were greedy for the pig, Omori Kenichi told in a calm tone: "Let's go and get delicious food by ourselves at night, there are many people in this neighborhood." ”

Since he was upgraded by military merit, in the past few years since he joined the army, Kenichi Omori has naturally been infected with the brutality of ****, and he did not hesitate to let the soldiers go.

"It's a pity..."

Glancing back at the squadron leader who was slaughtering pigs, Kenichi Omori muttered.

Relying on military merit alone, it is already the limit to be promoted from a new recruit to squad leader, if you want to go further, his military industry is actually enough, but unless... His eyes flashed as he looked at his squadron leader.

It's a pity...

If it were the Eighth Route Army...

sighed in his heart, and suddenly his ears moved, as if he heard an explosion...

"What a sound."

He looked at the hill in the distance, and with the ability he had honed on the battlefield, he judged that the voice was coming from there.

This sound seems to be a mortar?

And there are quite a few of them.

······

"Dog's day, little devil, rob the villager's pig."

In the woods, Iwamori held a telescope and gritted his teeth as he looked at the devil slaughtering pigs in the distance.

Behind him, three 60 mortars were being erected at a rapid pace.

Although the regimental headquarters ordered to act alone, after inspecting the enemy situation on the spot, Iwamori still decided to divide the artillery company into two groups, each group of three 60 guns, because one 60 guns had a very poor damage effect, and the fire density was also very poor, and the threat to the devils was not high.

Concentrated firepower is king.

After several days of investigation, Iwamori found that the devils in this Xiangshui Beach were the best to deal with.

Grabbing. There are many dense forests here, and the alert of devils is also very low, the point is that the positions of devils are far away from the common people, and there is no need to worry about accidental injuries at all.

"Commander, get ready."

Behind him, three 60 mortars have been erected, the floor is fixed very strongly, and the shooting will be very accurate.

"I'll take a look..."

Putting down the binoculars, Iwamori walked over to the three cannons and aimed them one by one to fine-tune.

The three gunners he led were all three with poor shooting skills, so he needed to control it in the end, because of the resentment of the devils for robbing the poultry of the common people, Iwamori pointed the cannon at the group of devils who were happily slaughtering pigs.

Two minutes later··

"The distance is 1.1 kilometers, and the target devil gathers in the open space, ten shots are fired rapidly."

Holding the binoculars, Yan Sheng said in a cold tone: "Dare to rob the people's pigs? Look at labor and capital can't blow you up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shell in the loader's hand fell into the chamber.

Bang bang bang ·

The muzzle fireworks exploded, and six shells whizzed into the distance.

Without looking into the distance, the gunner took the shell handed by the ammunition man behind him and stuffed it directly into the barrel, with smooth movements.

Mortars, which were already known for their rate of fire, could initially fire less than one shot in two seconds. Ten rounds were fired in a hurry, and all of them were fired in just fifteen seconds.

"Haha..."

The result made Iwamori laugh.

"Withdraw!"

After ten rapid shots, Iwamori retreated without hesitation, without any nostalgia.

The devils are already hidden, and if they continue to bombard, it will only be a waste of shells.

······

"Mortars of the enemy."

Under his eyes, Kenichi Omori even saw the muzzle fireworks in the distance, and also saw the mortar shells flying in the air.

However, before there was time to warn, the shells had already exploded in the open hills.

And that's where the other two infantry squads assembled, and where a group of people were killing pigs!

Boom Boom Boom ·

Bxwx.co戅. The cannonballs fell straight into the center, and one of them even hit the pig directly, and the violent explosion directly blew away the squadron leader who was cutting the pig's head, and the katana was bent by the explosion, and as for the people, they were separated from flesh and blood, and they died worse than pigs.

The devils gathered together in the open space, so this wave of 30 shells killed and injured more than a dozen devils, of which eight were killed, and even included the squadron leader and a squad leader.

Seeing the squadron leader who was blown up and shattered, and the other squad leader, Kenichi Omori's first thought was...

Yo Xi, here's your chance...

厺厽 笔下文学 bxwx.co 厺厽。我当中队长的机会来了····

Eight-way dry bleaching!

If the top position is not moved, how can they be promoted below? For a moment, Kenichi Omori actually forgot to command the troops.

"Your Excellency Squad Leader, are we in pursuit?"

A military cao said.

This is Kenichi Omori reacted, raised the binoculars and looked, the guerrillas in the distance had already left with cannons, he only had time to see a few backs before disappearing into the forest, and he even saw the ammunition box on the shoulders of the backs.

"Chasing..."

It's too far away, and you won't be able to catch up····· Although he knew it in his heart, Kenichi Omori still ordered the pursuit.

After all, the appearance still has to be done.

"Be on guard and spread out."

During the pursuit, Kenichi Omori maintained his vigilance and scattered the squad widely, sending reconnaissance detachments on both wings.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army is very good at ambushes, and Kenichi Omori is naturally very vigilant.

It's just that he didn't see that Iwamori had no intention of ambushing the pursuing troops.

Instead, he commanded a group of artillery to retreat with a swagger, while the other two artillery groups each returned with a mortar to the two flanks of the devil's position, ready to return to the horse gun once.

It should be back to the horse artillery.

After the shelling stops, the devils will definitely let their guard down, rescue the wounded, and clean up the corpses, and at this time, it is also the time when the devils are most relaxed.

······

A new regiment.

Cheng He is reporting the situation to Ding Wei.

"Today, in the area where we and the territory of the Independent Regiment meet, the devil's turret was overturned and shelled, the independent regiment made a big move this time, and the devil suffered a lot of losses, especially Xiangshuitan, and even a devil squadron leader was killed, and it is said that more than 20 devils were killed and wounded."

Although the new group has not yet started, it is also closely observing the surrounding situation.

Because of the forced conscription, the news of the casualties of the devil also spread very quickly, and the people who were forcibly conscripted saw the devil being beaten and cried for their father and mother, so they naturally spread the news everywhere.

"What did Li Yunlong do?"

Ding Wei muttered.

"Yes."

Chenghe nodded:

"Only Li Yunlong can make such a big move, and other troops don't have such rich shells."

"In one day, the shelling devils did not fall a dozen times, and no less than 400 shells were consumed, only Li Yunlong had the capital, and it is said that the artillery towers in other parts of the independent regiment were also shelled, and it is speculated that the independent regiment consumed no less than 1,000 shells in one day today."

"Holy shit, so many shells, really fucking rich, according to his usage, this kid's cannonballs are definitely no less than five thousand rounds, and there are channels for replenishment."

Ding Wei immediately scolded.

Although the new regiment was also wealthy, and there were more than 2,000 mortar shells in the warehouse, he was absolutely reluctant to use it.

Shells are a thing, but with one round, there is one less round.

Although the headquarters arsenal can also make artillery shells, but every month there are only a few grenade grenades, and he can't get a few rounds when he begs his grandfather to tell his grandmother, not to mention that the quality of the shells is still poor.

"On the first day, it should be the most ammunition consumed, and the devil was caught off guard, and in the future, the devil will be prepared, and the effect will not be so great."

Cheng He said in a flat tone.

The reason why the independent regiment consumed nearly a thousand shells on the first day was because the devils were defenseless for the first time, and a surprise attack had the best effect, and it would definitely not be such a defeat in the future.

"Commander, shall we do the same?"

Saying this, Chenghe's eyes burned.

The new regiment had mortars, there were also shells, and the shells, although not as good as the separate regiments, were not quite a few, and the new regiment also had a top gunner.

Wang Chengzhu.

Last time, Li Yunlong wanted to exchange two 82 mortars and 500 shells for Wang Chengzhu, but the regiment commander did not agree, and Wang Chengzhu's strength can be seen.

After all, Sakata's life is not in the hands of Wang Chengzhu.

After thinking silently for a moment, Ding Wei nodded:

"Okay, you go and arrange it, but be careful, if you are messed with by Li Yunlong like this, the devil must be on guard, don't be caught by the devil."

After the devil is hit by long-range shelling, there will definitely be corresponding countermeasures.

Ding Wei can even guess the devil's means, the construction of the turret cannot be stopped, but the range of the 60 mortar is more than one kilometer, and the surrounding defense is not good, so the devil will inevitably send troops to expand the search, and arrange open and dark sentinels within one kilometer of the turret, or send observation posts at the commanding heights.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Chenghe nodded.

A surprise attack can only be done once, and after the devil is prepared, the next thing is the time to fight wits and courage with the devil.

But...

This is the base area, the territory of our Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, many of the people who built the turret were intelligence officers of the Eighth Route Army·····
