Chapter 590: Analysis in Place
"fire!"
Accompanied by a shout from the puppet army battalion commander.
Two infantry guns and two mortars immediately opened fire forward.
Four shells whizzed towards the front.
"There are shells, take cover!"
Hamigu and others were so scared that they quickly lay down to avoid the shells.
"Boom boom boom!"
Four shells flew over their heads and exploded not far from the left wing.
Fortunately, because the puppet army's artillery technology was indeed not very good, the four shells actually flew into the ravine on the left side of the ridge and exploded, and did not hit them.
"Damn it, a bunch of rubbish, we didn't hit anybody, re-adjust and keep firing!"
The puppet army battalion commander saw this scene with a telescope and turned around and yelled at the artillery in anger.
The artilleryman's face turned red with embarrassment and he quickly adjusted his shooting angle.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Then, the second round of four shells whizzed away.
This time, one of the four shells landed in the middle of Hami melon's team and exploded, killing four soldiers on the spot.
"Good! Great job! Damn, we finally hit it, keep bombing!"
The puppet army battalion commander was so happy when he saw his men hitting the enemy with artillery shells for the first time that he quickly ordered the artillery to continue bombing.
When Hami Melon saw that four of his men fell, he gritted his teeth and roared in anger.
"Go down the hill, follow the ravine, quickly!"
The team quickly rushed down the hillside.
Because of the obstruction of the mountain ridge and the mountains, the puppet army's artillery could not see the specific location of the puppet army behind the ridge for a while.
However, the artillery had no choice but to bombard the front based on their feeling.
The random bombing method caused three more Hami melon soldiers to fall down.
"Damn it, aren't these bastards puppet troops? Why do they have so many artillery pieces?"
Du Shao ran and cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense, retreat quickly! Keep retreating!"
"There must be puppet troops chasing us from behind, keep retreating!"
Hami melon had no way to deal with the mortar and infantry artillery bombardment. If it stayed, it would definitely engage in a firefight with the pursuing infantry, and it was unknown how many people would die by then.
And the other side.
The three puppet soldiers responsible for tracking down Yuan Shuai had been killed with bayonets by the Du Dafeng brothers and a Kuomintang brother.
Yuan Shuai thought that there would definitely be puppet troops chasing him from behind, so he had to move his team quickly.
However, just when they had moved to a woods to rest and were eating canned food, they heard the sound of artillery bombardment in the distance.
"Boss, what's going on!"
"Aren't the Japs out to seek revenge on us? Why are they fighting over there?"
"Is there anyone else over there?"
"It's hard to say, maybe the devils discovered Hamigua and the others!"
"Well, let Hami melon also have a taste of the power of the Japanese artillery shells this time!"
"Hahaha!"
The brothers laughed in glee.
"What are you laughing at? No matter what, Hami melons are also part of the anti-Japanese team. Come here!"
Yuan Shuai waved while chewing canned beef.
Everyone gathered around quickly.
"Boss, you're not trying to save Hami melon, are you?"
"This guy is a bastard, he's not worth saving at all!"
"Yes, hasn't this guy cheated us enough? If we save him, I don't know how he will cheat us in the future!"
Many soldiers gave reminders.
No one wants to save the cantaloupe.
"When did I ever say I was going to save Hami melons? Do I look like a good person?"
"Pfft!"
Everyone was happy again.
It’s no wonder that when Yuan Shuai was killing people on the battlefield, he looked so ferocious, even more like a bandit than a bandit. He didn’t look like a good guy at all.
Yuan Shuai continued.
"You all heard it, right? Two 2mm infantry guns and two 92mm mortars! What? You weren't tempted?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in astonishment.
Of course they knew the power of artillery fire.
Not to mention long-range artillery such as infantry guns and mortars, they could easily destroy the Japanese with their cluster bombing with grenade launchers.
Although they got two infantry guns and a 90mm mortar, they were too few compared to the number of artillery pieces in the puppet army's positions.
Moreover, they didn't have many shells. They had fired some shells at the enemy before, so they only had 90 shells left. There were also only shells left for the mm mortar.
They had no ammunition supplies, and their bullets and shells were running out. Of course, they hoped to get as many shells as possible.
Otherwise, having only a grenade launcher is far from enough.
Wang Shuncheng said quickly.
"Boss, we are all your soldiers. We will fight however you say. We will obey you!"
"Yes, as long as we can get artillery and shells, we will have a better chance of survival. Otherwise, if we encounter the enemy's artillery bombardment in the future, we can only wait for death!"
"Yes, even though Hami melon tricked us, we went for the artillery, not the Hami melon, right brothers!"
"Correct!"
Yu Daqing and Du Dafeng also followed suit.
They all knew that the brothers hated Hami melon and didn't want to save it, but for the sake of the artillery, the brothers would definitely be willing to do so.
Sure enough, the brothers nodded.
"Okay, listen carefully. There are only artillery shells bombarding, not many gunshots, and even very few machine guns. This shows that the puppet army is using artillery fire as cover to allow the infantry to advance and charge. At the same time, Hami melon has not opened fire for such a long time. The only explanation is that Hami melon did not stay to fight!"
"He has other tasks to do, and he won't stay to withstand the bombardment of four artillery pieces! So he will just retreat!"
"At this time, the Japanese infantry will chase forward, leaving the Japanese artillery behind, and the distance between them will even become larger and larger! We just need to go around behind the puppet army artillery, hehe!"
At the end of his speech, Yuan Shuai pulled up a wicked smile, and it was a rather evil smile.
"good idea!"
"Boss, your analysis is so accurate!"
“I’ve learned something new now.”
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
"Damn it, it's not too late for me to finish the canned food before I leave. The Japanese artillery is behind us anyway!"
Yuan Shuai's voice made everyone eat voraciously.
Just as Yuan Shuai guessed.
Two companies of puppet troops continued to chase forward.
After the artillery bombardment, the barrel became hot and the mortar was difficult to dismantle.
The artillery did not catch up immediately.
In addition, the artillerymen were hungry, so they simply stayed where they were and ate first. After the gun barrels had cooled down, they would dismantle them and take them away.
The puppet army battalion commander brought his men to the place where artillery bombardment was happening in front.
"Report to the battalion commander, two wounded soldiers have been captured!"
Several men happily brought over two wounded prisoners who were injured by artillery shells.
These are not nationals, but British troops.
The puppet soldiers couldn't understand the English at all.
However, some of them had seen Kuomintang and British prisoners of war.
Then he said in astonishment.
"Battalion Commander, these are not Chinese soldiers, they are British soldiers!"
