Chapter 638 Regretful Decision
Chapter 638 Regretful Decision
At this time, the Japanese detachment leader, Yuuki Laoshan, finally reacted.
The planes of the Great Japanese Empire became bait for the enemy, making them unguarded. The enemy's target was not the planes, but the time when they were not on guard, they launched a sneak attack on the 105 howitzers behind them, captured the 105 howitzer positions, and then dealt a devastating blow to them.
"Bakayaloo! Their target is our 105mm howitzer position. Everyone turn around, turn around, turn around..."
"Ju yi..."
Before he could finish his words, a series of mortar shells whizzed towards the rear of their team.
The shells landed and exploded in the middle of their rearmost ranks.
The covering bombardment of twelve mortars caused the rearmost team to explode with intense smoke, which severely blocked their vision and made it impossible for them to launch support to the 105 howitzer positions in the rear.
At the same time, Wang Shuncheng had successfully captured the 105 howitzer position.
The two British artillerymen, one was responsible for communicating with Du Dafeng while the other was calculating the shooting parameters.
After all, Du Dafeng has a wide field of vision here and can completely overlook the distribution of the Japanese and puppet troops' forces.
He only needed to report the distance and angle parameters and let the British gunners calculate the shooting parameters themselves. After the test firing, he would let them make fine adjustments.
The two gunners quickly asked the soldiers to install the shells and adjust the angle and direction of the gun barrel.
At the same time, other soldiers hurried forward and prepared ground defense while the mortar bombardment was underway.
However, in front of them was a 75 field artillery position, where there were also only Japanese wounded soldiers and medical soldiers.
The wounded and medical soldiers were so frightened after hearing the gunfire behind and the explosions in front of them that they almost lost their souls.
One by one, they retreated to the flanks to avoid being bombed by artillery shells.
The soldiers advancing forward immediately used machine guns and grenade launchers to fire at the Japanese soldiers here...
The 105mm howitzer at the back has already fired a shell as a test shot.
A shell hit and exploded not far from the Japanese troops.
Although the bomb did not kill the Japanese, it frightened them so much that they quickly lay down, sweating profusely and cursing angrily.
"Bagayalu! The 105mm howitzer position has been captured by them!"
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"
Before their captain gave the order, many Japanese soldiers turned around and ran away.
The puppet troops were so frightened that they retreated quickly.
"Bagayalu, don't retreat, don't retreat!"
"Artillery! Blow up their mortar positions, artillery!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Du Dafeng's mortars fired continuously.
This time, half of the artillery shells continued to bombard the Japanese's rearmost team to prevent them from seizing the 105 howitzer positions, while the shells from the other six infantry guns were already bombarding the Japanese's infantry guns and the puppet army's mortars.
The artillery of the Japanese puppet army had no intention of fighting. When they heard the sound of the artillery shells flying, they got up and turned around and ran away.
The shells landed and exploded on the artillery positions.
Those Japanese and puppet troops who had no time to retreat were blown into the sky.
"Bakayaloo, Bakayaloo! Don't retreat! Don't retreat!"
"Ju yi..."
Suddenly, ten 105mm grenades whizzed towards them.
Looking at the flying shells, Laoshan Yonghui widened his eyes with despair on his face.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Ten 105mm grenades landed in the middle of his team and exploded.
Groups of Japanese soldiers were blown away, many were blown to pieces, and many had their hands and feet broken and lay on the ground wailing in pain.
"Bakayaloo! Retreat, retreat!"
At this point, he was powerless to save the situation.
After all, this is not an infantry gun, not a mortar, not a 75 field gun, but a 105 howitzer with a killing radius of 30 meters.
If he didn't run away, the entire team might be wiped out.
Unfortunately, he had just run a dozen meters when a howitzer exploded about twenty meters away from him.
The shock wave of the explosion blew him directly to the ground.
"Pfft!"
He spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"idiot!"
He wanted to get up, but he found that his chest was in severe pain.
When he looked down, he saw that many shrapnel had exploded into his chest, and blood was oozing out of the wound.
"idiot!"
In desperation, he could only pull out his pistol, aim at his head, and prepare to commit suicide.
Suddenly, a mortar shell flew over.
"boom!"
The shell happened to land right next to him and exploded, blowing him into several pieces.
Unfortunately, he didn't even have the chance to commit suicide.
"Baga, the captain has died! Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The detachment commander was killed in the explosion, and these people were so frightened that they retreated to the flank direction for their lives.
But from behind, mortar shells and 105mm howitzer shells were bombarding them.
The fighting here was going smoothly, but the British soldiers on Yuan Shuai's side were gritting their teeth and cursing.
"Damn it! They really stole the Japanese 105mm howitzers and used them to bombard them!"
"Damn it, if I had known earlier, we should have gone on this operation!"
"It's all Hami melon's fault. Why didn't you grab such a good mission?"
"Watching them bombing the devils over there, we can only raise mosquitoes over here!"
"Even if we don't go to grab the howitzers, we have to at least stop the Japanese. As long as we stop them, none of them will be able to escape!"...
"Fuck, what are you yelling about? What did you say when I discussed this with you? You said there were too many Japanese puppet troops and it was too dangerous!"
"They said the Japs might have set a trap and were waiting for us to die!"
"It's better to stay here than to die!"
"Now that you see the fight going on, you're putting the blame on me!"
Hami melon angrily cursed at his complaining subordinates.
At first he was also afraid of entering an ambush by the Japanese, so he discussed the matter with all his men and finally only let Jesse send two gunners.
But now, they have won a great victory and even seized the 105 howitzer, which blew the Japanese to pieces.
The Japanese's 75 field guns, infantry guns, and mortars will definitely fall into the hands of Yuan Shuai and other national army troops.
His heart was bleeding with regret.
This is a 105mm howitzer!
Judging from the sound, there are ten 105mm howitzers!
"Cantaloupe, otherwise we can go there now, maybe we can still make it in time!"
Mr. Du was so angry that he almost slapped himself.
But this was the only time he could offer his suggestions.
"In too late?! In too late? You were the first one to stand up and oppose it!"
Hami melon wanted to slap him.
"Report, the scouts sent a message that the Japanese puppet troops were spotted on the flanks and in front, and they are heading towards us!"
A signalman quickly reported to him loudly.
