Chapter 484 The Safest Way to Play
Unfortunately, after the Black Tiger Army arrived at the Hongfei Regiment's position in front, the Hongfei Regiment resolutely implemented General Yuan's tactics and just stayed there to fight the Japanese.
Even when the Japs retreated, we did not pursue them. We simply bombarded and drove them away with light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars and infantry guns.
Some Black Tiger Army brothers fired and cursed.
"Damn it, the Japs have retreated, why don't you pursue them?"
"Why not take this opportunity to kill a few more devils? Why waste the shells?"
"Shut up! General Yuan told us to follow the orders of the Hongfei Regiment. No one is allowed to charge without orders!"
Many officers in charge gave instructions to the troops.
However, Dou Jiande of the guerrillas had already rushed out with his troops.
"Come back, come back, come back to me!"
Xiao Liangcai shouted loudly angrily.
But Dou Jiande's troops were so excited about killing that they didn't obey orders at all.
Fu Yidao was so angry when he saw this that he yelled angrily.
"Damn it! I told you not to charge, why are you still charging? Someone, notify Xiao Liangcai and have him send someone out to get the guy back for me!"
The signalman quickly ran to Xiao Liangcai.
However, before the signalman arrived, Xiao Liangcai had already asked a signalman to go out and call for help.
Unfortunately, Dou Jiande didn't listen at all, and instead yelled at the signalman.
"Damn it, we finally have a chance to kill a few more devils, why are we retreating! Opportunities are fleeting on the battlefield, keep charging, brothers!"
The signalman looked at their receding backs, stomped his feet in anger, turned around and ran back.
Seeing that the signalman did not bring the person back, Xiao Liangcai was so angry that his teeth were chattering.
He was just about to curse something when he suddenly saw a lot of artillery shells in the air in the distance ahead.
"It's over, it's the Japanese 105mm howitzer!"
Dou Jiande, who was chasing, was so frightened when he saw the flying shells that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out.
"105 howitzer, hide, hide!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Continuous artillery shells exploded in the team they were pursuing.
Many soldiers were blown to pieces.
Dou Jiande was also hit by shrapnel and lay in a pool of blood.
Looking at the soldiers falling one after another, Dou Jiande burst into tears of regret.
At this moment, he finally understood why General Yuan did not order people to chase the Japanese.
The brothers from the Hongfei Regiment and the Black Tiger Army behind were so angry that their teeth were chattering.
The brothers of the Hongfei Regiment shouted loudly at the Black Tiger Army.
"Did you see it all? Did you see it all? In war, you must obey orders. If you don't, people will die. A lot of people will die!"
Many brothers of the Black Tiger Army broke out in cold sweat on their backs.
Before, many of them were still complaining about why the Hongfei Regiment did not let them go out to hunt down the Japanese.
At this moment, they understood completely.
Although the Japanese 75 field artillery position was gone, the Japanese 105 howitzer in Zhenlongkou was waiting for them.
Once they came within the range of the 105mm howitzers, they would be blown to ashes.
Xiao Liangcai had no other choice but to ask the stretcher team to quickly rescue him...
the other side.
The Yuxiang Brigade and the Tank Squadron had already left the three-way intersection and were rapidly advancing towards the road in the direction of the county town.
Yuan Shuai stood on a distant hillside, looking at the Japanese troops advancing on the road, with an evil smile on his face.
"You damned little Japanese, you want to get past me right under my nose? You really don't take me seriously!"
"Inform the artillery to aim at the infantry behind the Japanese tanks and wait for my order to fire!"
At this time, the Japanese who attacked Heihuzhai were retreating quickly. His 75 field guns had stopped bombing, and the 105 howitzers had also stopped bombing.
After all, there are limited shells.
When the Japanese retreated, they were scattered far apart. Although the artillery bombardment could kill the Japanese, the killing effect was limited.
But the situation was different for the Japs behind the tanks.
There was a regiment of Japanese soldiers around and behind the tanks, with more than 3,000 people. The black mass of troops was concentrated on the road.
As long as one shell hits the road.
With a killing range of 31 meters in radius, many Japanese soldiers can be killed with one shot.
Cannonballs are precious, so he can only make the most of them.
At the same time, Tan Guohao stood on the hillside in the distance.
He forgot that the Japanese troops were approaching him, and several of his men around him began to urge them on anxiously.
"Captain, the Japanese army is coming!"
"The Japs are now all within the range of the 105mm howitzers!"
"The Japs are already 5,000 meters away from us!"
Tan Guohao smiled calmly.
"It's only 5,000 meters, why are you in such a hurry? Yuan Shuai isn't in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry?"
He put down his binoculars and took out a cigarette.
A guard quickly lit it for him.
He exhaled a long puff of smoke and said with a smile.
"Although the 105mm howitzer is powerful, our 105mm howitzers are precious. If we use up all the shells for our 105mm howitzers, we won't be able to fight the Japanese in the future! But we still have tank guns. If we keep the shells for the tank guns but don't use them, how can we have babies?"
When Yuan Shuai contacted him before, he had already informed him that when setting up the tank position, he should dig a slope and let the tanks drive onto the slope, so as to expand the maximum range of the tank gun.
Because the Japanese Type 95 tank is equipped with a Type 94 37mm anti-tank gun.
Its genuine Type 94 37mm anti-tank gun has a range of 1200 meters against tanks, an effective range of 2870 meters, and a maximum range of 5700 meters.
But the tank is equipped with a short-barreled 37mm gun.
Its maximum range and power are much smaller.
But even so, as long as the slope is dug, the maximum range should be around three thousand meters.
Cannonballs are not like bullets.
The farther a bullet flies, the less lethal it is.
But as long as the shell flies out and explodes, its killing radius remains almost unchanged.
Although it was the first time that Tan Guohao used a tank gun in this way.
But theoretically, this would be effective in expanding the maximum range of tank guns.
Moreover, there are 120 rounds of ammunition in a tank.
Twelve tanks, each round means twelve shells.
"Brigade Commander, the Japs are four thousand meters away from us!"
After a while, the artillery observer reported, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Look how anxious you are, wait a little longer!"
Tan Guohao appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually nervous.
One of the subordinates asked in confusion.
"Commander, this area is full of mountains and woods, why don't we ambush on the road ahead!"
"If we can ambush on both sides of the road ahead, we can definitely kill a lot of the devils! And we can also save some artillery shells!"
Tan Guohao smiled bitterly.
It's not like he hasn't thought about this question.
However, he hesitated about the battle plan given to him by Yuan Shuai.
But in the end he still acted according to Yuan Shuai's battle plan.
He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
"Do you think you're the only ones who thought of this? Didn't Yuan Shuai think of this? Didn't the devil think of this?"
"We have 105mm howitzers, and the devils also have 105mm howitzers!"
"Although the enemy's 75mm field artillery position has been destroyed, they can always deploy the 105mm howitzers from Zhenlongkou! We are not sure whether they will deploy the howitzers from Zhenlongkou, but this is the safest way to fight!"
