Chapter 156 Can only move forward, not backward (for subscription)

Another artillery position of the Yamada Brigade, four mountain cannons and two infantry cannons have been fixed to the gun positions.

Dozens of gunners all surrounded the six artillery pieces, adjusting the shooting personnel, adjusting the shooting personnel, moving the shells, lifting the fuses... in order...

"Sir, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army is too scattered... There are only three mortars in each artillery position. Should we shoot one target first or shoot three targets at the same time?" The artillery observer frowned and asked the squadron leader for instructions on the problem he had just discovered!
"Concentrate all artillery fire and hit one of the targets first!" The squadron leader ordered without hesitation.

"Injuring ten fingers is worse than cutting off one..."

"Although scattered artillery can attack three artillery positions at the same time, the number of our artillery fire is limited. The effect of scattered artillery fire must be very poor. It is very likely that even one artillery position cannot be destroyed..."

"The captain is wise, I will arrange it now!" The observation post immediately took orders.

"Boom... woo woo..."

The six cannons quickly roared, and the shells flew towards the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army with a howling sound...

Three or four seconds later, several groups of flames shot up in the village, and a few seconds later, the violent explosion sound reached the artillery position...

The squadron leader was holding up his binoculars to make sure that the shells were on target, and while watching, he ordered: "All the artillery is [-] meters to the left...the distance is increased by [-] meters...five rapid shots, fire..."

"Boom... woo woo..."

The second round of six artillery shells hit the artillery position locked by the devil, but there is no Eighth Route Army in the position, and whether the artillery coverage just now has any effect...Only God knows...

At the same time, the six mortars that the artillery company had just seized also showed their fangs, and the commander of the artillery company, Chen Daliang, said expectantly: "The devil's cards are all out..."

"All the mortars are concentrated in the No. [-] bombardment area... Ten rounds of rapid fire, use the fiercest artillery fire to cover the Guizishan artillery position, and kill them..."

"Ready...to shoot..."

"Tom tom tom..."

Immediately, there was a dull sound of the shells being ejected from the six mortars... The shells flew into the sky with a slight screaming sound, flying all the way to the top of the devil's head without being exposed.

"Rumble..."

It wasn't until the first shell hit the ground and exploded, and the splashing flames knocked the two gunners over in an instant, that the rest of the devils realized that they were being targeted...

They put down their work one after another and fell to the ground to avoid the shelling.

The artillery squadron leader lay down at the same time, hugged his head and shouted: "Bageya Road, why did the Eighth Route Army hide mortars, everyone lie down and hide... Boom boom..."

Before he finished speaking, a violent explosion rang in his ears.

The squadron leader looked up and saw a mountain cannon being hit by a shell...

Although it was not destroyed by the bombing, all the gunners lying next to it were blown up... Two other gunners were blown away, hit the mountain cannon heavily, and fell silent when they fell to the ground...

Before the first round of explosions was completely over, the squadron leader got up from the ground, stretched his legs and ran outside the artillery position, shouting as he ran, "Move out of here immediately...quick..."

The squadron leader has very rich experience in anti-aircraft artillery. He knows that the mortar can fire a round of shells every four to five seconds... just three or four seconds after running out, he fell to the ground again...

The second round of artillery shells fell just in time, and set off a death storm composed of a large number of fireballs and shell fragments in the artillery position.

The other gunners were not as lucky as he was, especially the recruits in the ranks.

After receiving the order to retreat, he ran out of the artillery position, fearing that if he ran slower, he would be hit by a shell.

When the second round of shells fell, he neither got down nor prepared, and continued to run outside...

In the unobstructed artillery positions, these people are undoubtedly the best targets for shell fragments...

Of course, even if the devils lie on the ground in time, it doesn't mean they can survive.

In case a shell hits them, the powerful shock wave can still shock them to death.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannonballs fell one after another, and there was still a pattern at the beginning, but after three rounds, it became chaotic, and I could only hear the sound of explosions ringing in my ears continuously, without any interval...

The surviving devils can only rely on luck and experience to continue to evacuate the artillery positions...

The squadron leader is lucky...

When the sixth round of shells hit the artillery position, they rushed out of the artillery position, but only three of the dozen or so gunners who had been following them...

Looking back at the artillery position, the smoke from the explosion of the shells has filled the entire artillery position, and fireballs are constantly rising into the air from the ground!

Although some gunners kept rushing out of the artillery positions, more gunners were left there by the shells and couldn't get out...

Compared with the despair of the captain of Shanpao Squadron, Major Yamada's face has turned pale...

The mortar squadron under his command was the first to be attacked and almost lost its combat effectiveness.

The Mountain Artillery Squadron and the Infantry Artillery Squad were attacked immediately and suffered heavy losses.

There was another Eighth Route Army blocking the way in the village ahead, and with such a large posture, it was clear that the Eighth Route Army wanted to wipe out the Yamada Brigade here.

My mind was running fast, thinking of a way to break the situation: "I can't delay here any longer, I must leave immediately..."

"But the Eighth Route Army is blocking the way ahead. They are hiding behind the earthen wall and shooting. Without the cover of artillery fire, it is almost impossible for us to enter the village and open the retreat channel!" the adjutant reminded anxiously.

"Then bypass the village and return to Yangquan..." Yamada Shaozuo retreated and ordered.

"The Mountain Artillery Squadron and the Mortar Squadron suffered heavy losses, and without the drag of heavy weapons, we can completely abandon the road march..."

"The whole army moved to the northeast, discarded all the supplies and ammunition, marched lightly, and marched quickly to bypass Zhouzhuang!"

"The speed must be fast...the Eighth Route Army must be surrounding us, and we must leave here before their encirclement is formed..."

After finishing speaking, Major Yamada rushed into the wheat field on the side of the road and walked northeast of Zhouzhuang on foot...

The gunners who survived the battlefield were very reluctant to part with the equipment on the battlefield, but the shelling of the Eighth Route Army continued...

Returning to the position to transfer the artillery will not do anything except increase casualties.

Moreover, the captain had already given up the road, even if he snatched out the mountain artillery and infantry artillery, he couldn't take them with him on the march, so he had to give up the artillery and run with the infantry.

The luckier gunners can get a [-] big cover... The unlucky gunners don't even have a self-defense rifle, and march empty-handed.

Shao Zuo Yamada had just run two to three hundred meters, when a few machine gun flames suddenly appeared five to six hundred meters in front of him, and it took more than a second for the sound of "boom boom boom..." to reach his ears.

"Captain... there is the Eighth Route Army blocking the way ahead... there are at least two companies of troops... and equipped with a heavy machine gun!" A small captain of the vanguard rushed back to report in a panic.

"It must be the Eighth Route Army that encircled us... They want to wipe us out here..." Major Yamada became more and more sure of his judgment.

As soon as his face sank, he began to give orders: "You can't delay here for a minute..."

"If other encirclement troops of the Eighth Route Army come over, we will have no chance to escape..."

"The troops in front launch an attack directly... Break through the Eighth Route Army's interception at all costs... Other troops run forward, no one can stop!"

"From now on, no matter who is standing in front of us, the forward troops don't need to ask for instructions, they will directly attack..."

"The First Squadron took out the Second Squadron... The Second Squadron took out the Third Squadron..."

"The troops attack and advance, and return to Yangquan at all costs, otherwise all of us will be wiped out here by the independent regiment..."

After finishing speaking, Major Yamada drew out his command saber with a swipe, pointed forward and ordered: "Kill it..."

"Without my order, everyone can only move forward, not retreat..."

"For the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, for survival...kill..."

"Kill it..."

The more than a hundred surviving devils of the first squadron of the Yamada Battalion immediately launched an attack, like a group of lunatics rushing forward with bayonet-equipped rifles...

The machine gunner rushed to the right position and fell to the ground, set up a gun and fired, providing fire cover for the attacking troops...

The machine gun squadron also brought in a few heavy machine guns, put one on the mound and fired at the Eighth Route Army...

The grenadier soldiers rushed directly to a position more than [-] meters in front of the Eighth Route Army and fired grenades, destroying the firepower points in front of them...

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom... da da da..."

Gunshots, gunshots, explosions... soon became one.

This sudden encounter instantly turned into a life-and-death battle between the Japanese Yamada Battalion and the Independence Regiment.

Neither side had a position. The Fourth and Fifth Companies of the Second Battalion lay down on the ground to resist the devils' attack. The devils rushed forward desperately, providing cover with firepower.

The casualties of the two units are increasing sharply, especially the machine gunners of the second battalion, fourth and fifth companies...

Faced with the desperate style of Japanese grenadier soldiers, they would be targeted by their opponents in less than ten seconds each time they fired...

Within five minutes of the exchange of fire, the two companies had already lost [-]% of their machine gunners and machine guns...

Although they also killed nearly two hundred little devils, there were too many devils attacking on the opposite side. The front fell down, and the devils behind stepped on the corpses and continued to move forward. The distance between the two sides was gradually shortened from the initial one hundred meters to five or six. ten meters...

If the devils were allowed to advance another ten or twenty meters, they would be able to attack with grenades, and the four or five companies would definitely not be able to stop their offensive.

"Hold on, shoot all the remaining machine guns, don't be afraid of being destroyed... One more minute of blocking is one minute, and the commander will not ignore us..." Xiao Yuanchang, the second battalion commander, held a [-] big cover, Shoot and order.

"All bayonets and grenades ready..." Xiao Yuanchang continued to order...

He planned to throw the grenade ahead of the devils, and then launch a counter-charge, dragging down the Yamada brigade with hand-to-hand combat...

Otherwise, as soon as the grenade thrown by the devils hits the ground, more than half of the two companies will be killed or injured. If they counterattack, there will be too few troops.

Pull the bolt, aim, pull the trigger...

Pull the bolt again, eject the case, put another round in the chamber, aim, shoot...

Xiao Yuan often intends to throw a grenade as soon as the remaining bullets in the gun chamber are empty.

At the last moment, a "boom, boom, boom..." explosion sounded suddenly among the devils' attacking troops...

The flames were particularly dazzling under the darkness of night. The nearest shell was less than forty meters away from him, and he could even feel the scorching air waves.Many little devils were blown away without knowing what was going on... Their attacking momentum was also stopped!
"It's the leader...the leader is here...everyone keep shooting to block the devils..." Xiao Yuanchang's expression brightened, and he almost jumped up from the ground with excitement...

Decisively put down the grenade that has been picked up, re-press a bullet plate on the rifle, pull the bolt, load, aim, and pull the trigger...
