"Can do it!"

Deputy Platoon Commander Tan gritted his teeth and replied: "But the battalion commander must agree to me a request, give me all the grenade launchers of the 7th Company, and give me a squad of infantry as assistant."

Zhou Cheng was most afraid that Deputy Platoon Leader Tan said no.

As long as he said it would work, he would agree to any conditions. He looked at Xiang Feng and ordered: "Company Commander Xiang, from now on, your grenade launcher squad will be commanded by Deputy Platoon Commander Tan, and the guard squad 1 will also be commanded by Deputy Platoon Commander Tan."

"Roll up four mortars immediately, take the initiative, and destroy the Japanese artillery squad and heavy machine gun squad."

"At present, both military strength and firepower advantages are in the hands of the Japanese. If we fight head-on, we will definitely lose."

"You can only win by surprise, take the initiative, destroy their firepower advantage, and take this advantage in your own hands. Next, the Japanese will be full of concerns when they chase us."

"Xiang Feng, you gather all the veterans of the company together to prepare to attack the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain."

"After the artillery fire was exhausted, the infantry concentrated all light and heavy machine gun fire to break through from the junction of the Japanese attacking troops and the detoured troops. The speed should be fast. First, the firepower raid, and the dozen Japanese and puppet troops guarding there were eliminated, and then rushed out."

"The Japanese have no heavy machine guns and mortars, so they can only send troops to intercept us."

"But it takes at least ten minutes from the news that they received our breakout to the reinforcements rushing to the battlefield. This time is enough for us to break out of the encirclement and break out of the encirclement."

In the center of the high ground, nearly ten gunners and more than a dozen soldiers all looked at Deputy Platoon Commander Tan standing in front with confusion.

He has always been obsessed with gunners and acted as the deputy platoon leader of the fire platoon for the first time: "Now everyone listens to me, two grenade launchers and three infantrymen are responsible for a mortar, I will do whatever I ask you to do..."

"First adjust the elevation angle of the mortar, turn here, look at the numbers above... Adjust it bit by bit as I said, don't worry!"

Deputy Platoon Leader Tan stretched out his right hand, gave a thumbs up, measured the range and direction at the Japanese artillery position, and taught everyone how to adjust the mortar while measuring.

After that, check each cannon yourself and make sure that there is no problem in firing the elements before proceeding to the next step.

"I'll do it with me for a while, put the shells in my hands at the muzzle, let go, and then quickly lower your head and squat down."

"You are all grenade launchers. You have killed grenade launchers. The shooting principle of mortars is similar to that of grenade launchers, but you must be serious and don't take the shells backward."

"Prepare!"

Deputy Platoon Leader Tan quickly picked up a shell with a fuse and put it on the muzzle: "Fire the gun..."

Once your hand was loosened, the shell easily slid into the barrel under the action of gravity and hit the striker with a certain force.

With a "boom...", an explosion came from the gun barrel. The shells flew out of the gun barrel under the push of flames, and flew into a parabola toward the Japanese artillery position.

Major Fujita stood at the foot of the mountain, staring at the bare high ground with an excited look on his face.

I kept looking at the artillery positions behind me, hoping that they could fire the artillery faster.

"Boom...boom boom boom..."

The long-lost explosion finally rang, but the captain did not become happy, but instead frowned and exclaimed.

"What's wrong, this is not the sound of the mortar team firing, it's the sound of shell explosions!"

As he spoke, he turned around, and then he saw four regiments of black smoke rising from the artillery positions.

My whole face suddenly sank and looked very ugly.

One of the black smoke hit the middle of the two gun positions. The three nearby gunners had been blown over and fell to the ground with blood and blood.

The young master Fujita was confused.

This is the only artillery squad left in his hand. If they are done, then they will have no choice but to use the national defense line of the rescue army.

He immediately left behind his dream of destroying the third battalion of the National Salvation Army behind him and was very anxious to order: "Order the artillery squad to transfer immediately... Boom boom boom!"

Before Fujita could finish his order, the explosion sounded again. This time, two shells hit the artillery position, one of which happened to hit the artillery position, and the mortar and several surrounding gunners were blown over.

Fujita became even more anxious: "Go and give orders quickly, the artillery soldiers will move immediately and leave there!"

"The Third Battalion of the National Salvation Army wanted to take the initiative to destroy our artillery so that our infantry would be bombed and finally killed."

"Boom..."

The explosion became louder and louder, and the small artillery position was quickly covered by gunpowder. Fujita didn't know if the transfer order he had just issued had been passed, anyway, no gunner came out there.

He didn't see clearly until the shelling ended and the smoke that covered it slowly dissipated.

All three mortars were blown up, and two of them had been blown into parts.

More than twenty gunners fell to the ground in a row, and several people were not killed on the spot. They moaned and squirmed on the ground, and screamed from time to time.

"It's over!"

Major Fujita shouted with a look of despair. The deputy captain next to him was also confused by the National Salvation Army's move. If he didn't pay attention, the captain had already collapsed on the ground.

Artillery is too important.

Before, when mountain cannons were destroyed, they could still use mortars to top them. At worst, they could spend a few more shells and lose more troops.

Now that the mortar is gone, Fujita's last hope is shattered.

"Boom..."

The explosion that had paused for more than half a minute rang out again, and the sound came from their flanks. The deputy captain was a little rational and panicked as soon as he heard it.

"The heavy machine gun squad is in danger. Without artillery cover, they can attack any target with mortars. The heavy machine gun poses the greatest threat to them. They will definitely be attacked first, and they will be ordered to transfer immediately..."

The vice captain's sixth sense was very good and his reaction was quick, but it was still too late.

Turning his head, he saw several groups of black smoke rising from the artillery position. Several machine gunners fell to the ground. The remaining machine gunners were in chaos. Some carried guns and some carried ammunition, and they wanted to leave the position.

"Boom...boom boom boom..."

The mortar fires too fast, and before the heavy machine gun can stand on its shoulders, four shells in the second round have been smashed, and a machine gun team is just hit...

The only remaining mortar team was destroyed, and the heavy machine gun team was also attacked, and it could be finished at any time...

The deputy captain dared not think about what other means would the opponent have to deal with him if the troops continued to fight.

After careful consideration, the deputy captain spitted out two words.

"retreat……"

Seeing several squadron leaders and squad leader looking at him with disbelief, the deputy captain became anxious: "Bageyalu, haven't you heard my order just now?"

"Notify the detour troops to move closer to me immediately to protect the captain's retreat."

"The National Salvation Army has artillery and heavy machine guns. We have no heavy weapons. If we continue to attack, no matter how we attack, they will be suppressed and bombed!"

"No matter how powerful the warriors are, they are still flesh and blood. Do you want to see all your subordinates being killed by shells?"

After listening to the deputy captain's incisive analysis, several squadron captains and squadron captains were also panicked.

The reason why the Japanese were able to do anything in China's battlefield was that artillery and aircraft played a crucial role.

If there was no stronger firepower than the Chinese army, the invasion of China would definitely not be so smooth.

Only by enjoying the benefits brought to them by the advantages of artillery fire can they truly feel the powerful role of artillery fire on the battlefield.

They could not imagine the scene of the rescue army bombing the Imperial Army in turn with artillery fire in the next battle.

He quickly answered: "I will go and issue an order immediately..."

On the high ground, the commando was ready.

The heavy machine gun frame was at the commanding heights, staring at more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops guarding the junction.

Zhou Cheng was guarding the side. As long as he gave the order, the heavy machine gun would knock the opponent into a sieve.

"What's wrong? Battalion Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops seem to be retreating!" Xiang Feng suddenly shouted at the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain.

"I'm retreating!" Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up.

"The troops suspended their breakthrough and fired all light and heavy machine guns, which would put more pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Dadada..."

As soon as the light and heavy machine gun on the high ground fired, the deputy captain became even more panicked.

Major Fujita has lost his fighting spirit and completely lost his command ability. The pressure on command is all on the deputy captain.

Whether he can bring back the remaining 200 people alive is the only question he is thinking about now.

The light and heavy machine guns on the high ground suddenly joined the battle, and the artillery fire had not stopped yet. The deputy captain subconsciously reacted that the national rescue army would take the opportunity to counterattack and catch himself off guard.

The morale of the troops has been blown away by the artillery fire just now.

If the fire is suppressed by artillery fire and light and heavy machine guns, even if the national rescue army is blocked from counterattack, the troops will suffer heavy casualties!

So this battle must not be fought, so hurry up and order: "Everyone will speed up the retreat and leave here..."

The battle was over. In order to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, the heavy machine guns and mortars that were blown up on the back were all left on the battlefield.

Dozens of corpses were not taken away, and they fell to the ground in various postures.

Zhou Cheng was covered in cold sweat when he stood up from the ground.

When he decided to fight this battle with the Japanese here, he didn't have much confidence.

I plan to take the initiative to take the bet first. If the bet wins, the army will escape unscathed. If the bet loses, the army will definitely suffer heavy casualties when breaking through, but no matter what, it is better than being chased by the Japanese all the way until the entire army is destroyed.

From the beginning of going up to the high ground, his heart was hanging and his nerves were tense.

As a result, the situation could not keep up with the change. Not only did he win the bet, but the Japanese also took the initiative to retreat and did not even have to fight a breakout.

Xiang Feng looked puzzled. He was ready to forcibly attack the Japanese and puppet troops' encirclement, and even mentally prepared for heavy casualties in the army. As a result, the Japanese actually left by themselves.

Although I don’t understand why, no matter what, the third battalion won this battle.

The whole person quickly became excited. Looking at Zhou Cheng, he shouted from a distance: "Battery Commander, we won, the Japanese have withdrawn!"

Zhou Cheng nodded and ordered very seriously: "The army immediately cleaned the battlefield and took away all the things we could take away, especially those mortars and heavy machine guns that were blown up on their backs. They are all evidence of our attack on the Japanese. Although they cannot be used, they can be sent to the war zone for merit and exchange for the weapons we need more."

"The guard platoon followed the Japanese and puppet troops, and it was confirmed that they had really retreated!"
