Chapter 42: Bloody Battle at Pigeon Cliff, 12 Mountain Cannons Seized

A mortar shell landed heavily, and then everything was silent.

The Japanese soldiers who came to support had never expected that the shelling would hit right in the middle of their formation.

The mortar shell has a radiation range of 25 meters, which can release the energy of the explosion to the maximum in this narrow ravine.

The Japanese in the center were torn into blood clots by the impact of the explosion, while people in the distance were hit by countless fragments.

The brigade chief of staff, Nagasawa-kun, opened his eyes wide in disbelief as he was pierced by multiple shrapnel and died on the spot.

Clear the area instantly.

One shell hit, and the second shell immediately loaded into the barrel.

There was another explosion that shook the earth. Looking through the telescope, I saw the Japanese soldier who was knocked flying, his hands and claws waving around, and he fell to the ground like a dead dog.

The power of the 120 mortar is so terrifying.

The 16-kilogram shells are eye-opening.

The two Japanese squadrons that came to support happened to be within the range of the mortar's concentrated fire. Four shells fell in succession, and the unprepared Japanese army was blown to pieces.

"Artillery is the master of the battlefield."

Ding Wei muttered to himself, four artillery shells killed at least 70-100 people and injured more than 200 people.

Through the telescope, I could see the battlefield was in a mess, with four bomb craters clearly visible.

With the crater as the center, first there were broken limbs and legs, followed by a motionless body lying on the ground.

Further away, there were Japanese soldiers who had been hit in the arms, thighs, chest, and head but were not yet dead, struggling on the ground.

Kawamura Dong was so scared that he hid behind the bunker, looking at the hill behind him in disbelief.

The shell was fired from behind.

The point is not this, but the cut-off artillery squadron.

The shouts and screams spread from the hillside to the foot of the mountain. Gao Qing's Second Battalion was reinforced by two companies from the First and Third Battalions, with a total of more than 800 people.

It was like concentrating most of the main forces of the New 1st Regiment and launching a fierce attack on the artillery squadron.

How many guns can the key artillery have?

They are used to operating cannons. Carrying gun barrels and shells is hard enough. Does everyone need to be equipped with a rifle?

That's bullshit.

They are equipped with a small number of self-defense weapons, and logistics personnel and medical staff are also equipped with pistols as self-defense weapons.

It is impossible to be equipped with a large amount of light and heavy machine gun firepower.

This group of guys with weak firepower encountered a charge from a group of well-equipped infantry. This is not how you fight a war.

Gao Qing led the charge, with several submachine guns beside him leading the way, and fired fiercely at the Japanese.

Light and heavy machine guns provide cover from a distance.

In close combat, grenade launchers and hand grenades are used.

They attacked from a high position and broke into the artillery position that had just been built.

The Japanese squadron leader urgently organized a defense and concentrated the soldiers in front of the position.

As long as you hold on for a moment, there are three infantry battalions just a few hundred meters away, ready to provide support at any time.

This moment of buffer was what Ding Wei needed. He put so much thought into investing so many troops, just for the sake of the 12 mountain cannons.

The task given to HD is to wipe them out in one wave.

Before being defeated, the Japanese would try to destroy heavy weapons and would take down all the people with lightning speed to ensure the integrity of the mountain artillery.

Quick attack is what the Second Battalion is best at. Under the cover of firepower, they rushed forward with bayonets and stabbed the Japanese.

In the first wave of confrontation, most of the Japanese were defeated.

The submachine gun fired continuously, forming dense firepower, which was extremely deterrent in close combat.

Feeded by a 71-round drum magazine, it provides long-lasting firepower.

It was specially prepared for the Japanese, and under the strafing fire, the Japanese were shot one after another.

Blood oozes from the chest.

Blooming with bright red.

This is like the ancient torrential rain of pear blossom needles. No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, they will just shoot straight at your face, clearing the way with absolute firepower.

A light machine gun was also added.

A large number of Eighth Route Army troops emerged from the hillsides on both sides, giving the Japanese army no chance to destroy their artillery.

At the moment of contact, most of the Japanese were killed.

After rushing up, he quickly stabbed them all to death.

The mountain cannon had not yet been assembled, and the barrel and gun mount had just been dismantled.

This made it convenient for the new group. They could just bring packhorses, or have two or three people carry the load on their shoulders.

Major General Dong Kawamura was well aware of the crisis of the artillery in the rear, so he did not bother to attack the two heights and immediately gathered his troops to charge backwards.

The Japs trotted back to kill us.

The terrain here is very conducive to blocking. The grenade team is in a commanding position and has mortars, grenade launchers, and a large number of grenades.

The grenade fell into the crowd and exploded with a bang.

The Japs charged forward at all costs, ready to fight to the death.

He ignored the sniper fire from both sides and rushed towards the artillery position with all his might.

"Zhu Zi, fire a shot at its headquarters."

Ding Wei looked over the battlefield and issued new instructions.

The pillar responded immediately, slightly adjusted the angle of the mortar, and a shell fell.

The shells seemed to have eyes and flew towards Kawamura Dong.

There was an explosion with a loud bang, and the Japanese major general was knocked over by the air wave. His eyes turned white and he fainted instantly.

The medical soldier was anxious and rushed over to provide emergency treatment.

Check the wounds on the brigade commander's body.

There were no wounds. He was simply affected by the blast, which shook his internal organs. He was unable to breathe and passed out.

The head was hit and there was a moderate concussion.

Many people were turned into vegetables by the shock waves of the explosion on the battlefield.

The Japs only hoped that the brigade commander was safe and sound.

Five mortars fired down from the high ground, and shells fell one after another, hitting the Japanese.

It's impossible to rush through with such dense fire coverage.

Even if there were a few people rushing over, the 2nd Battalion had already finished the battle and slashed the artillery squadron to pieces. In addition to transferring the artillery personnel, the rest of the company immediately turned around and joined the battle.

The battle situation is constantly changing, and the combined strength of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade is enough to crush the New 1st Regiment.

But after Kawamura divided his troops, there were only three infantry battalions and two artillery squadrons left on this road.

After successfully completing the head-to-tail division, the Japanese artillery squadron was wiped out in a very short time.

A Japanese brigade without artillery was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

It even gave Ding Wei the opportunity to annihilate the opponent.

There were no fortifications around the mountain road, and the Japanese were exposed to gunfire.

The high ground on both sides formed a pincer firepower.

Light and heavy machine guns fired continuously, and bullets poured down like raindrops, just like shooting at a target.

Heavy machine gun bullets are the most powerful. If they hit the body, they can penetrate half of the body, leaving almost no chance of survival.

Ding Wei took out a batch of ammunition and ordered the soldiers to move it quickly to the front line of the battle.

At this time, no one paid attention to where the ammunition came from. The regiment commander ordered the soldiers to carry it over.

The 250-round belt allows you to shoot the water-cooled Maxim rifle to your heart's content.

The commander, the brigade commander, was in a coma, and the three Japanese captains made different decisions.

An assistant officer thought that they should continue to follow the major general's order, fight to the death and take back the mountain cannon.

The other believed that the battle should be withdrawn to avoid greater casualties.

The two captains looked at each other, adopted the best international solution, and voted by raising their hands.

"Continue the attack!"

The wisest choice is to withdraw from the battle, give up the idea of ​​retaking the mountain artillery, and cover the brigade commander's retreat to a safe area.

But there seemed to be no option of retreat in the minds of these beasts, and they continued to attack with all their might.
