Chapter 237: Small troubles will kill you
A mortar squadron closest to Ono immediately began to fight back.
After less than a minute of calculating from the order, more than a dozen shells flew out of the cannon chamber with a scream and then flew towards the forest.
Soon, an explosion rang out in the woods.
As soon as the counterattack shells exploded, the rain of shells that kept falling from the sky stopped.
Ono's tense heart suddenly relaxed: "Treat the wounded immediately, and the artillery will continue. When will the artillery troops of the Independent Regiment sneak attacks around us stop!"
The chief of staff who rushed over immediately reminded: "General, the surrounding forest is so big that it is impossible to destroy the Eighth Route Army by relying solely on artillery. Should we send an infantry squadron, bring light and heavy machine guns and mortars, take the initiative to attack, and eliminate all the Eighth Route Army active around the garrison!"
"No!" Ono refused without thinking, without thinking, without any discussion.
"The Eighth Route Army is so powerful in fighting guerrillas, and the surrounding forest is dense and dark, and all the advantages are on the Eighth Route Army. When attacking at this time, the warriors cannot exert their combat effectiveness, and they are completely like sheep entering the tiger's mouth!"
The Chief of Staff was stunned and glad that he came over.
"Hi, General, what he analyzed is that his humble position was not well thought out, and he almost killed more than one hundred imperial warriors!"
Ono waved his hand and replied: "Just remember next time. We have found a way to deal with the independent regiment, and there is no need to rush for a moment. What the warriors have to do now is to rest well, wait for dawn, and take the best combat state and attack the Eighth Route Army. It will not be too late to take revenge at that time!"
"In addition, the battle to win the third line of defense today must have made the Independent Regiment alert. I am worried that they will give up the division of troops at the garrison to break through. Contact the first brigade outside the mountain, and add patrols and alerts outside the mountain at night. Especially the Imperial Army that coordinates their defense. If there is any problem with the defense area, I will shoot their company commander directly!"
"The final thing is to treat the wounded and restore the camp order, so that the warriors can hurry up and rest, so that they can have the energy and physical strength to attack the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment tomorrow!"
In half a minute, two gun platoons fired thirty shells into the Japanese station.
Although most of the shells were blown up, they still caused considerable casualties to the Japanese army. Especially one shell in the first round of artillery shell was accurately hit by a tent, and then all the thirteen Japanese in the tent were reimbursed at one time.
When the Chief of Staff finally received the loss report, he once again showed a disbelief.
"How is it possible? In just how long did 18 warriors break up, 21 injured, including eight seriously injured, and half of the infantry team lost their combat effectiveness!"
The combat staff quickly explained: "When the shells were smashed, many warriors had not yet reacted. Also, because the terrain was limited, our base was not large and the personnel were too dense. When the shells were smashed, there were troops everywhere and there was no place to hide!"
"Bageya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army, really can attack the time of sneak attack!" When there was no way to vent his anger through counterattack, the Chief of Staff could only curse at his subordinates.
Then he suppressed the anger that was rising in his heart and ordered: "Appoint the field hospital to do its best to treat those seriously injured people. This time, the warriors who died in battle have far out of the way. We expect that the warriors will be broken in the next place, and the warriors will be broken in the next place!"
"Hi!" The combat staff quickly lowered their heads and replied.
In the forest outside the Japanese garrison, Zeng Quan led his troops to move to the side for two or three hundred meters before stopping.
Although the retreat was very timely, because the Japanese counterattacked twelve mortars, the artillery fire covered too much, and in the end, there were still seven soldiers who did not have artillery.
"Comrades, don't be discouraged, don't be sad. The battle has just begun. Only by destroying more Japanese can we be worthy of the soldiers who died just now!" Zeng Quan looked at his subordinates who had obviously declined morale behind him and quickly comforted him.
Then a new combat order was issued: "Walk two hundred meters further forward and continue firing the Japanese. This time, we have six mortars arranged separately to increase the difficulty of the Japanese artillery counterattack. In addition, if there are no cannons and four shells, shoot them out as fast as possible, and retreat after the attack!"
After half an hour of chaos, the Japanese army's garrison fell into tranquility again, as if the shelling just now had never been born.
"Woooooooo..." But at this moment, the whistle sound of shells passing through the sky sounded over the battlefield again.
The Japanese on patrol guards immediately fired a gun to warn without saying a word.
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopao..." As soon as the gunshots rang out, six shells exploded at the base, and balls of fireballs rose.
The Japanese who had just fallen asleep were awakened again. Many people didn't even wear military uniforms and rushed out with rifles.
"Baga, is it another artillery bombardment or six mortars? It must be that the artillery squadron did not destroy them just now!" A disheveled captain cursed as soon as he rushed out of the tent.
"Wuwuwu..." Before he could finish his words, the second round of whistle sound of shells passing through the sky came.
"Captain, be careful!" A scream suddenly sounded behind the captain, and then the two guards threw him to the ground.
"Boom boom boom..." Several shells fell directly from the sky and smashed against him and exploded.
The chief of staff not far away happened to see this scene, frowned and shouted: "Bageya Road, what are the artillery soldiers doing? Why haven't they killed the Eighth Route Army artillery? Counterattack, fight back immediately, kill them!"
Like the artillery bombardment just now, the artillery squadron in the garrison fired, and the rain of shells fell from the sky was gone.
Looking at the chaotic station in front of him, the Chief of Staff knew that he must have had a lot of courage to die in the shelling just now.
The Chief of Staff knew better that although the two artillery squadrons at the garrison were fighting fiercely, the shells were smashed into the artillery positions of the Independent Regiment without any money. However, such artillery bombardment did not have much effect. The artillery that had just been bombarded by his Independent Regiment must have been good now.
"You can't be so passive anymore. Otherwise, the warriors who came down a squadron would lose their lives in one night!" The Chief of Staff thought secretly.
Seeing Major General Ono walk out of the tent with dissatisfaction and anger, the Chief of Staff directly expressed his concerns.
"General, our opponents are too cunning. Their artillery must be attacking us with guerrilla fighting style!"
"It takes time for our artillery to counterattack. When they start counterattacking, the Independent Regiment's sneak attack on our artillery must have been awesome!"
"We must find a way to kill these cunning enemies, otherwise the soldiers will not only not be able to rest, but will also suffer heavy losses from this uninterrupted shelling!"
"You don't know that in the first round of artillery just now, we lost half of the infantry squad. The artillery just now, the losses were definitely not small!"
Although he was full of concern for the Eighth Route Army guerrilla warfare, Ono did not respect such sneak attacks from the bottom of his heart.
In his opinion, as long as the Imperial Army has strong enough strength, such a small-scale sneak attack will not hurt the Imperial Army's muscles and bones, and it will not even be considered a tickling.
So, from the beginning, Ono did not take this gunfire sneak attack seriously.
