Chapter 479 How could there be such firepower
Fu Yidao was extremely happy and quickly reported the situation to his brother Fu Hongfei.
Fu Hongfei immediately ordered the 75mm guns, infantry guns and mortars behind him to quickly aim at the position of the Japanese Second Battalion.
Because the terrain of Heihu Village is high, the roads are all winding upwards.
The Japanese First and Second Battalions were both below, and because of the many mountains between them, they could not see the situation above at all.
What's more, Fu Hongfei's artillery are all in the valley.
During the bombing, the command was entirely dependent on the artillery observer on the hillside.
The artillery observer can see the situation of the first and second battalions from a high vantage point.
You can even see the Japanese 75mm artillery position.
This time, the Second Battalion brought in four 4mm field guns. Their purpose was to expand the range. On the one hand, they could launch an attack on the Black Tiger Village, and on the other hand, they could carry out deep bombing on the Kuomintang troops that came to support them...
Finally, the Japanese First Battalion has entered the outermost line of defense.
Although this line of defense exceeded the maximum range of the Zhenlongkou 105mm howitzer, it was within the range of the Japanese 75mm field guns and the 75mm field guns of the Japanese Second Battalion not far behind the fork in the road.
However, there are many bunkers, air-raid shelters, and trenches built on the hillside and on the top of the mountain.
All the bunkers are very well hidden.
The Japs did not fire any exploratory shots at the hillsides on both sides, but ran directly along the road.
Because the Japanese thought that the main forces of the Black Tiger Village were all on the flanks at this time, and there could definitely not be a large number of troops here. Even if there were, they would not extend the battle line so far out.
Moreover, all the Japanese soldiers were running on the road. A group of them were running on the road in a cluster, and the nearly three hundred-meter-long road was filled with Japanese soldiers.
Looking at these Japanese devils passing by right under their noses, the soldiers in all the bunkers, air-raid shelters, firing holes, and trenches were excited and nervous.
What’s exciting is that the Japs have entered their ambush circle.
What’s worrying is that their ambush circle is actually within the effective range of the Japanese 75mm field guns.
If there were Japanese artillery observers guiding the artillery bombardment, their ambush circle would easily be destroyed by the Japanese 75mm artillery shells.
But they had no other choice but to hold here and wait for the entire Japanese First Battalion to enter, then launch a surprise attack on the Japanese, doing as much as they could.
Finally, the entire first battalion of the Japanese invaders entered their defense line.
Fu Yidao waved his right hand.
Except for the machine gunner, everyone in the trench around him picked up the Japanese grenades in front of them.
"Fire!"
Fu Yidao roared, and machine gun bullets whizzed towards the Japanese.
All the light machine gunners in the trenches opened fire.
All the light and heavy machine gunners in the bunkers opened fire.
The brothers in the trenches knocked the grenades one by one and threw them toward the road.
Crazy bullets hit the Japanese soldiers, making bloody holes in their bodies.
One grenades after another exploded among the Japanese troops.
The Japanese soldiers who were gathered together were blown to the ground one after another.
Not only that, some of the grenades were also tied with chili powder.
The smell of chili peppers was everywhere on the road.
The Japanese soldiers who didn't have time to put on their gas masks were choked and their noses and tears were streaming.
"Bagayalu, there's an ambush, kill them, kill them!"
The Japanese officer waved his sword to the left and then waved it backwards.
Although the Japs were fighting well, they wanted to counterattack.
But there were too many light and heavy machine guns on both sides.
And there are also pepper grenades.
Many Japanese soldiers were unable to open their eyes due to the explosion.
Some of the devils wanted to retreat.
But the checkpoint here has been demolished.
But there are several bunkers on the hillsides on both sides.
There was a heavy machine gun and three light machine guns in one bunker, all of which were Maxim heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns.
The crazy bullets directly blocked the Japanese's retreat route.
The Japanese captain was still shouting for a counterattack.
But in a moment he realized something was wrong.
He quickly hid behind a rock.
Looking at the soldiers falling on the road, he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Bakayaluo, Black Tiger Village is just a mountain village, how could it have such firepower!"
"Artillery, artillery!"
He shouted loudly, wanting the infantry guns and mortars to fight back.
But when he looked back, he found that the artillery soldiers at the back were all lying in a pool of blood.
"Bakayalu, call for support immediately, call for support!"
The signalman quickly called the second battalion behind.
The Second Battalion had already prepared an ambush, waiting for the Nationalist troops behind them to arrive.
But who would have thought that before the Nationalist troops behind arrived, the large brigade in front was ambushed and unable to withdraw, and was even calling for their support.
The two teams were separated by a straight-line distance of nearly two kilometers, but the road was perfectly smooth, so the distance was estimated to be twice that, four kilometers.
Without having time to think, he quickly notified the artillery to provide artillery support with artillery shells first.
But the Japanese artillery couldn't see the exact location and had no way of firing.
The Japs in front were unable to provide them with coordinates.
The second Japanese battalion commander had to leave behind the demolitionist and the 75mm field gun and lead the others to rush forward for the rescue.
Seeing this scene, artillery captain Fu Yijian pulled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.
Fu Yijian is Fu Yidao's cousin.
Now Fu Hongfei's mortars and 75mm guns are under his command.
The mortar was in the valley behind him, and the 75mm field gun was in a few valleys behind.
Their original plan was to bomb the hill where the Second Japanese Battalion was ambushing.
But now he suddenly changed his mind. After all the Japanese gathered on the road and advanced more than a thousand meters, he quickly ordered the artillery to adjust the coordinates and fired wildly at the Japanese on the road.
Continuous artillery shells landed on the road and on both sides of the road, making the Japanese soldiers cry for their parents and question their lives.
"Damn it! How could Black Tiger Village have so many mortars and infantry guns, and even 75mm field guns?"
"Bagayalu, request artillery support, request artillery support!"
The second captain of the Japanese army roared loudly in anger.
The 105 howitzers here in Zhenlongkou cannot provide support because the distance is too far.
The Japanese brigade commander had to send the 75mm field artillery at Sancha Road to support them.
But the artillerymen of the 75th field artillery here had no idea the exact location of the 174th Brigade.
Moreover, there are so many hillsides in the jungle that if a shell hits the wrong place, it will hit their own people.
The Japanese field artillery battalion quickly asked the second battalion commander for specific coordinates.
However, the captain of the second battalion of the Japanese army was bombarded with artillery shells, and there was smoke and flying sand everywhere, so it was impossible for him to give any specific coordinates.
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
The Japanese captain could not continue to move forward to provide support and could only lead his troops to retreat quickly.
Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was.
Fu Yijian had secretly arranged for his men to quickly detour back to the two hillsides where the Japanese had previously buried mines.
Only the demolition man was left on the hillside.
A few brothers sneaked up while the Japanese were not paying attention, killed the demolition experts with bayonets, and took over the detonator.
