Chapter 511 Artillery Positions Attract Aircraft
Yuan Shuai smiled happily when he saw the mortars and shells he brought.
"Good to see you come. Great to see you come. I've been waiting for you to come!"
This time, in order to support General Yuan, Zhao Zilong brought five mortars with his 300 cavalrymen. Although the number of mortars was not large, he brought fifty boxes of shells.
Not only that, they just surrounded and annihilated Yokohama Jiro Battalion.
The Hongfei Regiment captured four mortars.
What was unexpected was that the Japanese were very rich and powerful. One mortar was equipped with thirty boxes of ninety rounds of shells, and four mortars were equipped with 4 boxes of 120 rounds of shells.
Although there were not many Japanese soldiers, they all used mules to transport boxes of artillery shells, and each mule could carry four boxes of artillery shells.
It’s a pity that the battle just now was in a dense forest. The Japanese had no time to fire and the artillerymen were killed immediately.
In addition, the snipers from the Hongfei Regiment killed the Japanese so badly that they dared not show up.
Therefore, none of the Japs' artillery shells were useful.
Of course, these artillery shells and mortars are now in the hands of the Hongfei Regiment.
In addition, Yuan Shuai has ten mortars and three hundred artillery shells, totaling 19 mortars and 810 artillery shells.
Yuan Shuai did not dare to waste time and quickly prepared all mortars and all light and heavy machine guns for air defense.
When Yuan Shuai came here this time, he had considered that the Japanese might send planes to bomb.
So, when they came here, they not only brought the 75 field gun, but also two anti-aircraft guns.
He had 4 anti-aircraft guns before, but never had a chance to use them.
So, in order to prevent bombing by Japanese planes, he brought two anti-aircraft guns with him.
The ones in charge of the anti-aircraft guns were naturally his brothers in the Black Wolf Army.
However, before the plane arrived, the Japanese infantry had already approached them within more than 2,000 meters.
"Damn it, there are so many devils! They really give face to our Black Tiger Army!"
Looking at the large crowd of Japanese devils, Zhao Zilong broke out in a cold sweat.
After all, he only had three hundred cavalrymen.
General Yuan only has 500 soldiers from the Hongfei Regiment, plus a dozen or so people from the Black Wolf Army, the total force is only more than 800 people.
The Japanese had two battalions, more than 2,000 people.
What's more, Yuan Shuai didn't even arrange any infantry positions in the front. All the infantry, except for the light and heavy machine guns responsible for air defense, all the other infantry hid.
Only the artillery was ready.
He said with an anxious look on his face.
"General Yuan, do you want to push the infantry forward and build an infantry position?"
Yuan Shuai shook his head repeatedly.
"There are the Japanese 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers over there on the arch bridge. We are just out of the range of the Japanese 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers. If we move forward, we will probably fall into the range of the Japanese 105mm howitzers!"
"But we can't just rely on mortar bombardment!"
"Is there anything wrong with that?! I have so many mortars and shells, why don't I use them to bomb the Japanese? Instead, I'll keep them for having babies. If keeping them can give birth to babies, I won't be willing to do it!"
"..."
Zhao Zilong was suddenly speechless.
However, General Yuan had already started giving orders, asking the mortars to fire forward.
19 mortars fired crazily.
One round of artillery fire is 19 shells.
The shells were ready to fall and explode among the running Japanese troops.
Groups of Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces in a pool of blood.
Half of the hillside was covered by artillery fire.
"Bagayaluo, there are mortars, hide!"
Two Japanese captains lagged behind the team.
Seeing the large group of people in front of him being covered by artillery fire, he became so angry that his face turned blue and veins on his forehead bulged.
Because the shells were bombarding non-stop.
The front troops were almost covered by mortar bombardment.
"Bagayalu, how come they have so many mortars!"
"Nineteen mortars! Nineteen mortars! How could they have so many mortars!"
"Notify the artillery, find their artillery positions, and destroy their artillery positions!"
"Notify the wing commander and get the air force to come over for support!"
The two captains were so anxious that they were sweating coldly.
Normally, they would carry out covering bombing on the national army.
But now, they are being subjected to blanket bombing by the Chinese army.
Everyone knows how many casualties a blanket bombing would cause.
Given the current situation, the soldiers rushing in the front are probably in great danger!
"Report, our artillery observers can't find their artillery positions!"
"Bakayaloo, retreat! Tell the team in front to retreat quickly and draw them into the range of our 105mm cannon!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
When the two Japanese captains saw that their artillery was unable to bomb the enemy's artillery positions, they could only notify their troops to retreat quickly.
On the hillside not far from their flank, Monkey saw the Japanese retreating and quickly asked Lynx to contact Yuan Shuai, change the coordinates, and continue the bombing.
General Yuan did not waste any time and immediately ordered the artillery to continue the bombardment.
After the bombing lasted for a while, Japanese planes appeared in the distance.
Eight planes are already roaring towards here.
Seeing the planes, the Japanese soldiers shouted excitedly.
"Baga, it's finally here, the plane is finally here!"
"Blow up these Chinese soldiers!"
"Blow up these Chinese soldiers!"...
After seeing this, the monkey quickly asked the mountain cat to notify Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai had also seen the Japanese planes through the telescope.
However, General Yuan did not stop the bombing. Instead, he took the opportunity when the Japanese saw the plane stopped and continued bombing them.
"General Yuan, the planes are coming, don't bomb them. If you keep firing, the planes will easily find our artillery positions!"
Zhao Zilong reminded anxiously.
"Nonsense, if I don't fire, how will the Japanese planes know we are here!"
Zhao Zilong was stunned.
People are not even able to dodge the planes, and you are actually using artillery positions to attract them.
Isn’t this seeking death?
Yuan Shuai shouted to one of his brothers.
"Keep contacting the monkeys and let them guide the artillery to continue bombing!"
After saying that, Yuan Shuai ran directly to an anti-aircraft gun and operated it himself.
Zhao Zilong also hurriedly followed him.
After all, this is an anti-aircraft gun.
He has never used it before.
This time I finally got the chance to see people use anti-aircraft guns.
The Japanese planes saw the place where the shells were flying from a long distance away, and quickly adjusted their direction and headed towards the artillery position.
However, when Yuan Shuai saw the plane approaching them about two kilometers away, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Anti-aircraft guns fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his anti-aircraft gun opened fire.
Three consecutive artillery shells whizzed towards the front Japanese plane.
The Japanese pilots were originally happy, thinking that the Kuomintang artillery was too rampant.
"Bagayalu, charge over there and let them know how powerful we are...Bagayalu, there are anti-aircraft guns!"
