Chapter 4 Crossfire
Everyone's complexion changed immediately.

The Japanese army has an artillery squadron with three artillery squadrons under its jurisdiction, with a total of six [-]-type infantry artillery.

In addition, there is an attached mortar.

At that time, when the devil's artillery arrives and bombards Niujialing, one's own position will definitely be bombed to pieces.

"The Chief of Staff is right."

Xu Rui said solemnly: "I almost forgot about this situation.".

"In this way, we can only break through in advance. Otherwise, when the artillery squadron in the hands of Sakata Shinzo arrives and bombards us, we can't stand it anymore."

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping and others nodded.

Although they seized the main peak of Niujialing, they built a position to hold on.

But once the little devil's artillery arrives, it will be a big problem.

"It's already past six in the afternoon, and there are still two hours before it gets dark."

Xu Rui then continued: "Then, judging by the speed of the devils, their artillery squadron will fall for an hour at most."

"We must break out before seven o'clock!"

Chen Zhenping and the others said in a concentrated voice: "Yes, group seats!".

"Then, in 10 minutes, we will carry out an active attack on the Sakata United from the front as we said before, and the attack will anger the old devil Sakata Nobuzaki. Then, the attacking troops will withdraw, and I will prepare the killer."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but looked at each other. Is there any trump card in Tuan Zuo's hand?
"In a cave behind the main peak mountain, when I took the troops through Niujialing, I put ten heavy machine guns in a cave behind."

Xu Rui said to Chen Zhenping, the first battalion commander: "Send people to a cave less than 30 meters to the left of the main peak and move out the ten heavy machine guns."

"Yes, group seat."

Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, was also very surprised, but he quickly stood up and sent people to the cave that Xu Rui mentioned, and brought out the ten heavy machine guns to the headquarters.

When Luo Youdu and the others saw the ten heavy machine guns and a large number of machine gun bullet boxes, everyone couldn't believe it.

Especially Chief of Staff Luo Youdu personally touched one of the brand new heavy machine guns, and immediately said to Xu Rui: "Tuan Zuo, when did you put these ten heavy machine guns in the cave behind Niujialing?".

"About half a year ago, you, Chief of Staff, hadn't come to our 303rd Regiment at that time, and not many people knew about it. At this time, I only remembered that I wanted to use it when I wanted to break through."

Xu Rui smiled and said, "These ten heavy machine guns are very important in order to successfully break through."

"With these ten heavy machine guns, Tuan Zuo, we can break out of the encirclement at least before seven o'clock, and we may succeed!"

Second Battalion Commander Liu Shuoming said quickly.

Xu Rui said: "Breakthrough must be successful!".

Afterwards, Xu Rui pointed to the ten heavy machine guns, and said to Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, and Liu Shuoming, the commander of the second battalion: "The first battalion and the second battalion each have five heavy machine guns, and immediately deploy them on both sides of the position.".

"The third battalion is going to rush out of the position in 5 minutes, and take the initiative to fight back against the little devil. The third battalion will beat the little devil severely, and provoke Sakata Nobuzaki to attack my position at the foot of the main peak."

After a pause, Xu Rui said to Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming, "When the time comes, how will the first battalion and the second battalion do, you two know?"

"Understood, group seat."

Chen Zhenping, the commander of the first battalion, and Liu Shuoming, the commander of the second battalion, stood up to attention in unison.

"Ten heavy machine guns, forming a crossfire. When the third battalion lures the enemy into the coverage of the ten heavy machine guns, they will hit me hard."

Xu Rui said coldly.

"Yes, group seat."

Chen Zhenping, Liu Shuoming, and Chu Hua, the commander of the third battalion, nodded in unison and said.

"it is good!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then continued to say to everyone: "So, use ten heavy machine guns, cross-fire coverage, and wipe out the old devil Sakata Nobuzaki's vital force.".

"Next, under the cover of heavy machine gun fire, we broke out to the depths of Hutou Mountain."

The crowd nodded.

Xu Rui then asked Wang Dazhu, the commander of the artillery company, "Dazhu, how many shells do we have now for the two 75mm cannons and the three 60mm cannons in our hands?".

"The shells for the 75mm caliber artillery are gone, and there are only three shells left for the 60mm caliber mortar!"

Artillery company commander Wang Dazhu gave a wry smile, and then reported.

"Damn it, why don't you save yourself a little bit?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui's face immediately became stinky, and he scolded Wang Dazhu.

"Group seat!"

The artillery company commander Wang Dazhu said aggrievedly: "In the previous battle, in order to suppress the large infantry of the devils and cover the devils' machine guns behind, you kept calling me to fire.".

"The shells are consumed very quickly, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Hearing this, Xu Rui couldn't help being speechless, and then said helplessly: "Forget it!".

"The two cannons without 75mm shells, let's blow them up before breaking out! Bring the three mortars, and there are only three mortar shells left. Can you kill the old man Sakata Nobuzaki?" Devil's headquarters."

As he said that, Xu Rui pointed at the command post on a small hill far below the main peak, which was obviously the place of the little devil's command post, and asked Wang Dazhu.

Wang Dazhu hurriedly measured the distance with his right thumb, shook his head and said, "Commander, it is estimated that we have to approach 500 meters forward before we can use the mortar in our hand to bombard the old devil's headquarters.".

"It just so happens that the third battalion is going to counterattack next!"

Xu Rui nodded when he heard the words, and then said to Chu Hua, the commander of the third battalion: "The third battalion will leave the position to fight back, and the counterattack must be more than 500 meters away, so as to cover Wang Dazhu's mortar and kill Sakata Nobuzaki's headquarters with three shots."

"Understood, group seat."

Chu Hua, the commander of the third battalion, said with great assurance.

"it is good!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and immediately said to everyone: "Whether you can break through or not depends on this time."

"Get ready in 5 minutes, the third battalion is ready to go out and charge back! Wang Dazhu will follow behind the third battalion, with three shells, even if you can't kill the old devil Sakata Nobuzaki, you must bombard Sakata Nobuzaki's headquarters Lose."

Everyone said loudly: "Yes!".

"Get ready now!"

Xu Rui waved his hand, and everyone immediately dispersed to prepare.

And Xu Rui, together with Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, commanded the counterattack condescendingly in the headquarters.

Once there is a counterattack, it can attract the attacking devils to the foot of the mountain, and use the ten heavy machine guns to cover them with cross-fire, and kill part of the old devil Sakata Shinzo's vitality.

Then, the success rate of taking advantage of the situation to break out will increase by at least [-]%.
