Chapter 486 Why not use 105mm artillery to continue support
And the other side.
Yuan Shuai has stopped the bombing of the 105mm howitzer and ordered the Hongfei Regiment to coordinate his 75mm field guns and mortars to quickly move towards the direction of Tan Guohao.
At the same time, he ordered two thousand Black Tiger soldiers to bring mortars with him to provide support in the direction of Tan Guohao.
The others stayed in the Black Tiger Camp to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.
When the team was collecting the spoils, they all knew the bombing range of Zhenlongkou's 105mm howitzer, and no one was allowed to exceed this range.
As for the 105mm howitzers that came out for support, they were still on the way. These howitzers were used to deal with Tan Guohao, and they did not stop to attack the direction of Black Tiger Village.
It’s just that the Black Wolf Army is responsible for three 105 howitzers.
Hu Dacai's men were left behind.
Yuan Shuai ran while calling on the team to speed up.
On the way, Zhao Ying'er ran while breathing heavily and complaining unhappily.
"Yuan, General Yuan, don't we have 105mm howitzers? Why don't we just let them continue to provide artillery support? Why do we have to let people run? Look at how tired our brothers are!"
"Nonsense, we don't have many 105mm artillery shells left. What if the Japanese use their 105mm howitzers to support us? What can we do? I have another purpose for leaving the 105mm artillery behind. Once the Japanese 105mm howitzers come out to support us and enter the range of our 105mm howitzers, our 105mm howitzers can bombard the Japanese 105mm howitzer positions! Tell me, is it better to kill the Japanese infantry or the Japanese artillery?"
"Of course it's better to kill the Japanese artillery!"
Zhao Ying'er answered without hesitation.
She had seen before that when the Japanese 105mm howitzers bombarded, any Japanese standing within a radius of meters were either killed or injured.
Of course, it would be better to kill the Japanese 105mm howitzer artillery than the infantry.
Only after she finished speaking did she realize why Yuan Shuai left behind four 4mm howitzers.
She could only run while shouting loudly for the team to speed up.
Yuan Shuai was shouting loudly while running.
"Brothers, grit your teeth and speed up! If Tan Guohao's New Sixth Army is destroyed by the devils, our Black Tiger Village will be surrounded by the devils at any time. By then, we won't even have a single reinforcement!"
Zhao Zilong also shouted loudly.
"The New Sixth Army has just used artillery to bombard the Japanese artillery at Sancha Road to support our Black Tiger Village. We at the Black Tiger Village will never let them fight alone!"
"That's right, this is our home. If the New Sixth Army is gone, the county will be occupied by the devils. At that time, the devils will attack our Black Tiger Village with all their might! Brothers and sisters, even if you have to run your legs off, you must go over to support the New Sixth Army!"
Zhao Ying'er was also shouting at the top of her voice.
Although the team has fought on two battlefields in succession and is now moving to the third battlefield, everyone's legs are no longer under their control.
But every soldier gritted his teeth and persevered.
Because what Yuan Shuai, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Ying'er said made a lot of sense.
The people in the Black Tiger Camp are very loyal. The New Sixth Army helped them fight the Japanese, so they must also help the New Sixth Army fight the Japanese.
And this is to protect their homes...
In the distance, the artillery on Yuan Shuai's side temporarily stopped bombing.
The pressure on the Japanese regiment commander and soldiers was immediately relieved a lot.
The captains shouted one after another, directing the team to move forward.
And Tan Guohao's overtaking shooting has also stopped.
Because overshooting consumes ammunition too quickly.
Besides, after the Japanese soldiers divided into three groups and entered the woods, they were relatively scattered. If they continued to shoot from beyond the line, the effect would not be very good and it would waste a lot of their bullets.
All the heavy machine guns have stopped firing, waiting for the Japanese to get closer before firing.
The tank guns and 105 howitzers have also stopped firing.
When the Japanese soldiers saw that the fire in front had stopped, many Japanese officers gritted their teeth and grinned.
"Yoshi, they must be out of shells, and their ammunition has been almost used up. Keep charging, keep charging!"
Unfortunately, when the Japanese approached the new Liu army about 1,500 meters away.
The light and heavy machine guns on the New Sixth Army’s positions opened fire again.
The mortar infantry guns also opened fire rapidly.
The Japanese charging troops were repelled in an instant.
"Damn it! How come they still have so many shells and bullets?"
"Artillery, tell the captain to use artillery support!"
The Japanese infantry squadron leader lay on the ground and kept shouting loudly.
Before he could finish his words, the artillery in the Japanese army had already come under attack from the artillery of the New Sixth Army.
Each artillery squad was accurately hit by artillery shells.
Not only that.
There were still artillery shells whistling in the air from the right wing.
"Baka, it's a 75mm field artillery piece! It's a 75mm field artillery piece coming from the Black Tiger Army!"
When the Japanese saw the artillery shells whizzing towards them, they gritted their teeth in anger.
Although Yuan Shuai only has 6 75mm field guns, he still has some shells.
In order to support the New Sixth Army, Marshal Yuan had to let the 75mm field artillery at the back fire first.
At the same time, let the team continue to move forward.
When the mortar artillery arrived at the hillside and saw that the Japanese were within range, they quickly set up the mortar and bombarded the Japanese.
Although Yuan Shuai does not have many 75 field guns and 105 howitzers, he has many mortars.
The Hongfei Regiment alone brought 24 mortars.
During the previous battle, the Black Tiger Army and the Hongfei Regiment seized more than ten mortars.
In addition to leaving a dozen mortars to guard the Black Tiger Village, they deployed 24 mortars here.
24 mortars fired at the same time.
The entire area of the Japanese soldiers was instantly covered with cannon fodder.
The carpet bombing blew many Japanese soldiers to pieces.
The Japanese on the right wing suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
"Bagayalu, the Black Tiger Army is dispatched!"
"Baka, why are there so many mortars coming from the Black Tiger Army?"
"Your Excellency, the Black Tiger Army's artillery is too powerful. There are 75 6mm field guns alone, and 24 mortars! Our army has suffered heavy casualties. Let's retreat quickly!"
A subordinate, with a pale face and cold sweat, made a suggestion to his captain.
Beads of cold sweat appeared on the captain's forehead.
After all, this carpet bombing was too cruel.
Although his forces were dispersed enough, this round of bombing with 24 shells was enough to wipe out one of his squadrons.
Moreover, one third of their troops had been killed before.
Now they were bombarded again by continuous artillery shells, and one-third of their troops were killed again.
The remaining Japanese soldiers and the wounded are estimated to be less than 400 people.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese captain had no other choice but to order his troops to retreat quickly.
"Damn it, they're here and they still want to run. The artillery shells will block their retreat! Bomb these bastards to death right here!"
Fu Yijian saw the Japanese retreating from a distance and immediately roared with gritted teeth.
