Early in the morning, around eight in the morning.
Lu Yi ordered the Tiger King Battalion to have a quick breakfast in the mountain stronghold and bring three days 'worth of rations. Then, he led the soldiers of the Tiger King Battalion down the mountain and started the first battle of the Tiger King Battalion. Lu Yi wanted to test how strong the army he had spent so much effort to equip was!
Target! He Yun Town, Xinxuan Brigade!
Although the six-hundred Tiger King Battalion soldiers were not fully formed and were slightly fewer in number, they were still like a snow-colored flood flowing along the mountain path in their neat gray camouflage uniforms and neat formation.
"Tian Ying, how long will it take to reach Crane Cloud Town?”
Lu Yi asked Tian Ying loudly. Lu Yi didn't ride a horse. Instead, he trotted along with all the soldiers of the Tiger King Battalion. This way, he could control the stamina of his soldiers and know how long they could fight with their current stamina.
"Reporting to the head of state! With our marching speed, we only need an hour and a half to reach Crane Cloud Town. We don't need to rest in between.”
Tian Ying quickly replied. Although he had been instilled with more military knowledge, he was still familiar with the mountain roads since he was young. He could find many small roads in the mountains without a map.
"All troops, get ready. We must annihilate the Shingen Battalion as soon as possible. We can't give them time to contact the Muto Regiment!”
Lu Yi gave the order again, and the entire team sped up again.
At the foot of Langbai Mountain, Crane Cloud Town.
Crane Cloud Town was a small town close to the mountains. Most of the residents in the town relied on hunting in the mountains for a living. The bandits on Wolf White Mountain did not eat the grass near their nests. The two sides could be considered to be in peace, and their small lives could still be carried on.
After the Japanese came, the peaceful life in the town was broken. The three elders of the village were beheaded, and the ancestral hall became the command center of the brigade. Groups of Japanese soldiers burned, killed, and looted. The men were captured to build fortifications, and the women hid at home all day, not daring to go out.
The Chinese people in the town hated the Japanese army to the bone, but they were helpless.
In the ancestral hall of Heyun Town, in the Xinxuan Brigade's headquarters.
"Yuxi, you must try the wild game of Huaxia! (Japanese)"
"Baka, Great Captain! How could he drink on the battlefield! Have you forgotten the imperial army's style of being on guard? Japanese)"
"Bastard! Is this how you talk to your superior? How could there be enemies in such a remote place? The bandits on the mountain? Do you think they dare to offend the dignity of the Imperial Army? (Japanese)"
"But! Captain…The military discipline of the imperial army! (Japanese)"
There was a quarrel in the command center, and the Japanese officers were drinking and having fun.
Whoosh! Weng!
Whoosh! Bang!
Suddenly, the sharp sound of artillery shells tore through the quiet sky, and the Japanese officers began to look at each other.
One, two, three!
A few seconds later, five 88mm high explosive bombs landed on top of the Japanese command post with a tremendous force and exploded.
Countless tiles and walls collapsed instantly, setting off a huge wave. It was as if a huge fist had landed from the sky and smashed it!
"Baka! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! (Japanese)"
"What kind of cannon is this!"
"Oh my god, the power is even more terrifying than the Imperial Army's ship-borne cannons! (Japanese)"
"Could it be heavenly lightning? (Japanese)"
"You red deer! Hurry up and get back to the defensive position! (Japanese)"
In an instant, more than a dozen Japanese military officers were killed by the shells. The remaining officers were shocked at first, but then they cried out loudly and fled out of the command center. Their expressions could not hide their horror.
What kind of enemy was this! Would the bandits on the mountain have such a powerful weapon? This was impossible!
Even the strongest German Machinist in the Ming Kingdom's regular army that they had encountered could not have such a terrifying cannonball!
At the same time, the artillery and heavy machine gun positions of the Shingen brigade also suffered several rounds of artillery fire. Several Japanese Type 92 infantry cannons were overturned, and a Type 13 machine gun was directly blown into a pile of scrap metal. The Japanese soldiers who were hiding in the trenches were blown up everywhere.
Furthermore! The artillery fire was still falling on the Japanese army's position!
"Baka! Sir! We discovered the enemy's firing position, but we couldn't hit them at all. They were actually attacking us from five kilometers away!”
The commander of the Shingen Battalion's artillery position, Wada Takeo, shouted in a shrill voice. As a qualified artillery commander, he immediately organized the artillery to launch a counterattack after being bombarded and quickly discovered the enemy's artillery position.
But…He realized that the Invincible Imperial Army's 92-step cannon could not hit him at all! He couldn't hit her!
They couldn't even touch the enemy's skin!
Yes, the maximum range of the Japanese Type 92 infantry cannon was three kilometers. Beyond three kilometers, there was no accuracy to speak of. Meanwhile, the German-made World War II King of Artillery 88mm anti-war cannon that Lu Yi was using at the moment had a standard range of five kilometers, and the maximum range could reach eight kilometers!
The Japanese army finally tasted the pain of the Chinese army. Their hands were not long enough, so they could only be beaten up and could not counterattack!
"Ha Sa! Attack! Charge over!"
"The warriors of the Japanese Imperial Army will never admit defeat!”
"For His Majesty the Emperor!"
Groups of Japanese soldiers continued to rush towards the 88mm anti-cannon position, but before they could run half a kilometer, they were directly taken away by an 88mm high-explosive bomb with a coverage radius of 30 meters. Bloody and mutilated limbs were scattered all over the path out of Heyun Town.
These two kilometers became the death line of the Japanese army!
At the same time, outside Crane Cloud Town, at the artillery position.
"Haha, Geng Yun, you did well. I didn't expect that the first pot would be enough for the Japanese to drink.”
Tian Ying patted the shoulder of his artillery soldier and laughed. As the strongest bandit officer of this era, he naturally understood the artillery industry and had brought up a high-quality artillery company.
Lu Yi ordered the artillery to arrive before the infantrymen, so he fired at Crane Cloud Town five minutes in advance.
Tian Ying's heart was burning with excitement. The power of the weapons and equipment given to them by the Chief was indeed terrifying. Now that they already had the tactical quality, coupled with these weapons, they could go anywhere in the world. Perhaps, the Chief could really achieve great things in the future!
Although Tian Ying had become a bandit officer, it did not mean that Tian Ying's personality had changed in private. His admiration for Lu Yi had always been boiling in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yi was leading the remaining two Tiger King Battalion infantry companies, quietly waiting on the two main roads leading to and from Heyun Town. The white-gray camouflage uniform was almost blended into the snow, making it impossible to tell that there were more than 500 people lying in ambush here. They were quietly observing the reaction of the Xinxuan unit at a close distance.
In the small town, the Japanese soldiers who had been bombarded had gradually calmed down. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers had retreated and hid in the bunkers or anti-artillery trenches.
The cunning nature of the Japanese army was immediately exposed. The soldiers in the trenches were constantly moving. Soon, a team of more than 400 people gathered and quietly left the town through the small road.
They wanted to circle around the back of the mountain and give Tian Ying's artillery position a surprise!
Through Lu Yi's sniper scope, the Japanese army stretched their heads and bent their bodies. They sneakily sneaked out of the town at an extremely fast speed. In order to hide, they even sent ten more people to carry the heavy machine guns out.
Lu Yi curled the corners of his mouth. He had been waiting for this moment!
It was time for the Japanese to have a taste of what modern warfare was like, and what a 9mm assault rifle meant!
Lu Yi waved his hand and ordered the two rifle companies behind him,"Charge out! Open fire directly, no need for any captives!”
"Yes, sir! Chancellor!"
A snow-colored torrent surged out from both sides of the road!
