Most of the Japanese in the eastern countryside had already fallen asleep. They had been crazily sweeping the area for the past few days.
Now that the main force of the Sakata United Army and the 358th Regiment were engaged in a fierce battle, these Japanese felt that their search and surveillance mission was very easy.
After all, even though the new regiment had caused heavy casualties to the Sakata United Army, they had also suffered significant losses. They also needed to rest.
In the eyes of the Japanese, the new group would definitely not participate in the battle.
However, just as the Japanese were dreaming, grenades fell on the village without any warning.
The eastern village had been swept by the Japanese. Many houses had been burned down, and there were only the Japanese in the village.
The two mountain cannons fired accurately, and shells landed in the village one after another.
Loud explosions continued to ring out. Some of the shells accurately hit the houses where the Japanese were resting, causing some casualties.
When Second Lieutenant Kubo, who was sleeping, heard the explosion, he quickly woke up.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and entered their battle positions.
"Squad leader, the enemy is using mountain cannons to shoot. Our mortars can't hit them.”
Soon, a Japanese artillery captain rushed over and reported.
This Japanese army was the same as Kawashima's team, with heavy machine guns and mortars.
However, the Japanese's 81mm mortars only had a range of more than 2,000 meters. They could not reach the mountain cannon position four kilometers away.
"It's them. It must be the artillery position that appeared on the battlefield of Gray Cloud Ridge.”
Second Lieutenant Kubo raised his binoculars and looked into the distance for a while. His face gradually revealed an excited expression.
Other people might not know, but Second Lieutenant Kubo, who was under the Second Battalion, knew very well that the Sakata Regiment was heavily injured because of this artillery.
Moreover, he knew that there were not many of them. They only had long-range firepower. If it was close combat, they would not be able to resist at all.
No matter how powerful the artillery was, they couldn't possibly stab the cannons at close range, right?
"Order the troops to attack quickly. Use the advantage of motorcycles to quickly reach the artillery position and completely annihilate them.”
Second Lieutenant Kubo decisively gave the order. He believed that his side had the advantage of being mechanized and could quickly reach the artillery position.
As long as his team reached the artillery position, the artillery would be at his mercy.
After the Japanese received the order, they quickly started moving. One by one, the motorcycles started moving quickly.
After leaving the village, dozens of Japanese went straight to the first row of artillery positions.
"Mortars, prepare the flares!" Sun Xiu shouted.
Flare after flare were quickly handed over to the cannoneers by the cannoneers. Following Sun Xiu's order to fire, the three mortars quickly began firing.
The two 82mm mortars awarded by the system were domestically produced, but they were related to the 81mm mortars captured by the Japanese army.
These two types of mortars were both imitations of the French Blond 81mm mortar.
The only difference was that the domestic version had an additional 1mm caliber, while the Japanese still used the 81mm caliber.
One should not underestimate an increase of one millimeter. On the battlefield, this was very beneficial.
For example, the shells from the Japanese 81mm mortars could be fired directly from the 82mm mortars.
However, the 82mm mortar shells could not be fired by the 81mm mortar because of the 1mm caliber.
On the battlefield, this had a huge impact on both sides.
The flare that Sun Xiu fired at this time was naturally from the captured Japanese.
The flare shot into the air, and the dark night instantly became like white porridge.
The Japanese on the motorcycle was completely exposed.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Second Lieutenant Kubo waved his military saber and urged the troops to speed up.
He knew that only by quickly reaching the artillery position could he offset the enemy's artillery advantage.
Three thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters. The Japanese artillery quickly got off the motorcycle.
The only mortar was quickly set up.
However, at this moment, the first row of the district team began to launch a fierce artillery attack.
Two 65mm Mountain Cannons, three mortars, and two 20mm Machine Guns were fired in succession.
The concentrated artillery shells were fired one after another as if they were free.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Bang bang bang!"
Grenades and armor-piercing bullets attacked the Japanese motorcycles. For a moment, the Japanese convoy was caught in a cloud of dust.
With a boom, an armor-piercing bullet was fired from the machine gun and hit the motorcycle's fuel tank. The motorcycle was destroyed on the spot.
Under the fierce firepower of seven cannons, the Japanese army suffered great losses and more than 20 people were killed on the spot.
Second Lieutenant Kubo's face was cold as he looked at the artillery position viciously. He continued to command the troops to advance.
The Japanese braved the fierce firepower and pushed forward. When they were less than 1,000 meters away from the artillery position, the Japanese began to get out of the car.
They opened up a line of disbanded soldiers and prepared to advance quickly.
After a series of attacks, only about 30 of the 60 Japanese could continue fighting.
Second Lieutenant Kubo also knew that he would not be able to explain himself if he didn't show some results after paying such a huge price.
Therefore, under such circumstances, he could only brace himself and continue moving forward.
The Japanese began to fire their heavy and light machine guns, and the Japanese infantry quickly advanced.
Zhou Baoguo's second row began to fire, but most of the people in the second row were new recruits.
The bullets fired by these new recruits did not pose any threat to the Japanese at all.
However, the Japanese were completely distracted and did not notice the presence of the third row on the flank.
Yang Chen saw that it was almost time. He personally controlled the Type 92 heavy machine gun and aimed it at the Japanese.
"Da da!" The Type 92 heavy machine gun opened fire first.
Four bullets were fired directly at Second Lieutenant Kubo. Caught off guard, Second Lieutenant Kubo was instantly turned into a meat sieve.
Three crooked light machine guns and a light machine gun from the Soviet Union also started firing. A dense number of bullets were fired at the Japanese army.
Unfortunately, the machine gunner had just been trained. It was not easy for the bullet to hit the target.
However, such dense firepower still gave the Japanese some mental pressure.
The five Garand riflers in the third row had been through the battle in Nanzhuang Village. They aimed and quickly pulled the trigger, and the Japanese fell one by one.
"Congratulations to the host for killing five Japanese in a row and obtaining 30 Mountain Cannon Cannons.”
"Congratulations to the host for killing ten Japanese in a row. You have received 30 armor-piercing rounds from the machine gun.”
The system notification appeared in his mind, and Yang Chen had already used up all 30 bullets.
The ammunition supplier installed a new ammunition board and Yang Chen started shooting again.
More than 60 Japanese soldiers in the East Village gradually fell to the ground. Many of them were directly shot into meat sifters by heavy machine guns.
