The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 772 Neiji Okamura is helpless (second update)

"Hurry up and call me the two artillery company commanders, and I'll take them to a big deal..." Huang Yu suddenly ordered to the chief of staff behind him.

Then he looked at Tang Chen, the head of the 22nd regiment, "Head Tang..."

"This is better than business. At least we can kill a group of little devils."

"Just in case, the 22nd regiment is also involved."

"Notify the troops to assemble immediately, and bring all the weapons and equipment that the troops have just been hunting, and don't miss the infantry artillery and mountain artillery."

…………

When Ning Okamura was shaken by the armored vehicle again and was about to fall apart, the roaring explosion reached his ears again.

This time, the impact point was only 600 meters away from him. Under the light of the fire, the explosion of the shell was clearly visible.

A field artillery unit was attacked by more than a dozen mortar shells at the same time. In an instant, the field artillery and the car pulling him were covered by artillery fire.

"Rumble..."

A more violent explosion reached Okamura Ningji's ears again.

A group of more dazzling fireballs suddenly rose from the middle of the field artillery unit shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Compared with the mortar shell that exploded just now, this fireball is at least ten times larger.

Billowing thick smoke rose into the sky, and the orange fireball rose to a height of tens of meters before spreading around, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

At this time, Okamura Ningji knew what happened there no matter how stupid he was.

His face became extremely ugly in an instant, he clenched his fists and cursed angrily, "Bageyalu..."

"The field artillery shells in the carriage exploded..."

"Why is the Eighth Route Army so lucky to hit such a small target in the car compartment..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Okamura Ningji had just finished speaking when the second round of shell explosions sounded again.

About 200 meters away from the explosion point just now, this time it was a large-caliber mountain artillery detachment that was covered by artillery fire.

Before the officers could react from the shock, the third round of explosions had already reached their ears.

A field artillery unit was instantly ground by artillery fire, and life and death were uncertain.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander..." The Artillery Staff was the first to react, and said anxiously when he ran in front of Okamura Neiji.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking us is equipped with at least forty mortars..."

"One is divided into three, and each artillery unit is equipped with more than ten mortars, which attack in turn."

"The three shells that shelled us just now came from three different directions."

"Hiss... so many mortars..." Even Okamura Ningji, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, was still taken aback by the analysis of the artillery staff.

It wasn't because of how strong the opponent was, but because he was taken aback by the opponent's large-scale sneak attack.

The sneak attack in his impression should be to use a few mortars, disperse them around the reinforcements, hit one shot east, one shot west, and move when they hit, without giving the reinforcements any chance to counterattack.

The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong did the opposite, gathering [-] or [-] mortars to sneak attack the reinforcements. Aren't they afraid that after the artillery position is exposed, dozens of mortars will be taken by themselves?
The artillery staff officer seemed to see what Neiji Okamura was thinking, and just as the fourth round of shells fell, he continued to report after the explosion: "The artillery unit that attacked us first has moved to a new position..."

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army..."

"The three artillery units launched attacks in turn, firing a round of shells to move to a position, which can not only ensure the frequency of mortar firing, so that reinforcements can be continuously attacked by artillery fire, but also ensure the safety of the artillery units to the greatest extent."

"According to their style of play, no matter how many artillery pieces we gather to counterattack, we will not be able to lock the target, and we can only be passively bombed all the time."

The commander of the division from the Kwantung Army suddenly changed his expression, and said solemnly: "If we can't lock the target, we must find a way to kill them..."

"Even if we take the initiative to attack, lose some troops, and pay some price, we must destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army that attacked us, the sooner the better."

After saying this, he explained to Ningji Okamura: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"Before the Eighth Route Army used mortars to attack our infantry from a long distance."

"As long as the troops are spread out as much as possible during the march, losses can be minimized."

"Artillery is not good, especially the field artillery and heavy artillery under the Artillery Wing."

"They can't leave the road. No matter how they disperse, they can only park on the road as living targets."

"The Eighth Route Army assembled more than a dozen mortars to attack one of our field artillery or heavy artillery. A blind cat can hit the target even if it kills a mouse."

"Less than 5 minutes have passed, three field artillery pieces and one heavy artillery piece of the Artillery Wing have been bombed, and the specific loss is unknown."

"If the artillery of the Eighth Route Army continues to bomb like this, we will lose all the field artillery and heavy artillery equipped by the artillery regiment before we reach Baoding."

"Without artillery, how can the troops take back Baoding from the Eighth Route Army and sweep up the Eighth Route Army's base in the middle of the wing?"

Neiji Okamura didn't think about it at first, but he realized the seriousness of the problem after being reminded by the head of the division.

"Boom boom boom..."

Before he could speak, the second heavy artillery was destroyed in the explosion.

The head of the division became even more anxious, and said bluntly: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The artillery must be counterattacked immediately..."

A lieutenant ran towards them at the same time, found Neiji Okamura, and reported while panting: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The artillery unit was attacked by a large number of mortars from the Eighth Route Army..."

"Two field guns have been lost, and one heavy gun..."

"Artillery casualties exceed 50 ..."

The head of the division directly expressed his thoughts to Neiji Okamura: "We can deploy artillery, infantry, chariot units, and cavalry units to form a temporary mixed force, which can attack when advancing, and defend when retreating, chasing the artillery of the Eighth Route Army. "

"It's best if they can be eliminated. If they can't be eliminated, they must be severely injured and driven away so that they can't continue to attack the artillery regiment."

Neiji Okamura still didn't nod.

Before the army had suffered too much from the Eighth Route Army in luring the enemy deep, he would never allow the troops to attack rashly unless it was absolutely necessary.

What's more, it's still night.

Turning his head to look at the artillery staff officer, he asked seriously: "Is it true that the artillery counterattack can't defeat the Eighth Route Army artillery unit?"

"Hayi..." The Artillery Staff Officer answered bravely.

"The Eighth Route Army only fires one round of artillery shells at each artillery position. The time is too short. We can't even calculate their specific positions, and we can't lock the target at all."

"There is no target, and the goal of eliminating them on the transfer road by expanding the coverage of artillery fire cannot be achieved."

Neiji Okamura felt helpless for the first time, and the look of anticipation on his face slowly disappeared, and finally heaved a long sigh, staring at the field artillery and heavy artillery that were constantly being ground by artillery fire not far away, and ordered helplessly.

"Just do as you said, immediately form a mixed force, take the initiative to attack, and kill the artillery of the Eighth Route Army."
