Chapter 206 Cannon fodder is cannon fodder
Hu Damazi's eyes rolled up, and he ordered each squad to select a puppet soldier to change into ordinary people's clothes, then tie themselves up and stand on the periphery of the team to act as a human target.
"You little brat, you want to fight me? When I was cheating, didn't you know where you were?"
But Wang Ming saw all of this, and the self-righteous Hu Damazi was like a clown.
Wang Ming called the communicator to the side.
"Send electricity to the aviation division and let them move around!"
In less than fifteen minutes, Xu Gun from the Second Squadron of the Aviation Division roared in with thirty P6P Hellcat fighters.
The puppet soldiers were so frightened that they lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"Damn it, what are you afraid of? We have civilians on our hands now, and the Eighth Route Army's planes won't dare bomb us!"
The puppet army then remembered the existence of "human shields".
He immediately stood up arrogantly, put his hands on his hips and cursed at the plane.
"Fuck it, come and blow me up if you dare! If I frown, I'm not a man!"
Just as the puppet army was talking nonsense, a round aerial bomb fell.
"boom!"
A large pit with a radius of more than ten meters was left on the ground, and there was no living creature within a hundred meters around it.
Indeed, this puppet soldier did not frown.
The remaining 7,000 puppet soldiers in Pingshun Baoan were forced to flee for their lives. After a round of bombing and a rocket sweep, only a sparse 3,000 puppet soldiers were left.
Xu Gun looked at the no-man's land he had created with satisfaction, feeling very proud.
"Bah! Cannon fodder is cannon fodder!"
Hu Damazi, with his face covered in dust, looked at his "family business" with tears in his eyes.
"Damn it, the Eighth Route Army is too bullying! Report to the Imperial Army immediately and ask them to send a plane!"
Kenjiro Kei Miura listened to the explosions and prepared for air defense, but in the end no bomb fell on his head.
"Hu Sang is indeed a talented person! Full speed ahead!"
Without the threat of the independent column's aircraft, Kenjiro Keisuke Miura led the common people and marched quickly to Lushan, seven kilometers away, directly opposite Gaomiaoshan and Niushan.
"The headquarters is located right here! The artillery regiment is setting up its position!"
"Order the Second Flight Regiment to take off and prepare to seize air superiority!"
"Pingshun Security Brigade and the 219th Infantry Regiment are preparing to attack Gaomiao Mountain!"
Kei Miura Kenjiro spoke out his intended battle plan in one breath, feeling extremely refreshed.
Meanwhile, the First and Second Battalions of the First Regiment at Gaomiao Mountain and Niu Mountain were well-rested and waiting, hiding in anti-artillery caves in preparation for the Japanese to arrive.
In the Pingshun Military Fortress Command Center, Wang Meng planted a military flag on Lushan Mountain on the sand table.
"Commander, the Japanese artillery regiment has begun to deploy. It is estimated that their infantry will launch an attack on Gaomiao Mountain or Niu Mountain in an hour!"
"Well, are there any movements from the Japanese planes?"
"Not yet, so our aviation division has not moved, so as not to be passive when the time comes!"
Lu Yunlong thought for a long time and decided that now that he had lost the air fire support, he could only rely on the artillery regiment for fire support.
"Order Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiment to destroy the enemy's heavy artillery positions as soon as possible, and then support the first regiment, otherwise the first regiment will not be able to hold out!"
A battalion with a strength of about 129 troops had to fight against more than puppet troops from the Jincheng Security Corps and more than remaining Japanese soldiers from the th Infantry Regiment, which was a huge pressure.
"The Armored Division has secretly moved to the ravine on the right wing of Longding Mountain. When the time is right, we will directly attack Lushan!"
As they were talking, a mixed formation of more than 129 troops from the Jincheng Security Corps and the th Regiment had already moved to Gaozhuang, two kilometers ahead of Gaomiao Mountain.
Taiyong Takeuchi, who was in charge of the front-line commander, had tied a sanitary napkin on his head and was holding a command knife, determined to take Gaomiao Mountain at all costs.
"Warriors of the Empire, the Eighth Route Army only has one battalion of troops in Gaomiao Mountain. Our strength is more than four times theirs. Let's take Gaomiao Mountain and avenge the warriors who died in the battle!"
Kenjiro Keisanura, who was five kilometers away in Lushan, looked at his watch and saw that the hour hand pointed to exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Artillery regiment, fire!"
The 12 Type 91 105mm howitzers of the howitzer battalion began to roar. This powerful weapon has a range of 30 meters and fires -jin projectiles.
The three field artillery battalions had a total of 3 Type 36 38mm field guns with a range of 75 meters. They could fire high-explosive bombs, which was just enough to reach the Gaomiaoshan position.
For a moment, the ground on Gaomiao Mountain shook violently. Some fortifications that were not hardened with reinforced concrete were directly overturned, and many soldiers were shaken to death.
Under the cover of 48 artillery pieces of the Japanese, the puppet troops and the Japanese two kilometers away took the opportunity to gradually advance towards Gaomiao Mountain.
And Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery regiment behind Niu Mountain, was crying anxiously because the artillery observation post he sent out had not yet reported back the location of the Japanese artillery positions.
This cannot be blamed on the artillery observation post.
Because, ever since Kenjiro Kei Miura suffered from the heavy artillery of the Independent Column, he realized the importance of heavy artillery in suppressing the Independent Column.
Therefore, after the artillery regiment was deployed, three layers inside and three layers outside protected the artillery regiment, and comprehensive camouflage work was done.
Although Zhang Dabiao's battalion did not say a word, Wang Chengzhu was still very anxious and called Li Yunlong.
"Commander, the enemy's artillery position has not been found yet, requesting aircraft reconnaissance!"
"Okay, you guys be ready at any time. When the coordinates are sent back, type out the speed for me!"
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he contacted Lu Tianlong, who was at the Pingshun Military Airport, filling up the tank with ammunition and preparing to take off.
"Tianlong, now I'm giving you a difficult mission. Take off immediately and find the enemy's artillery position! The sooner you find the enemy's artillery position, the less bombing the soldiers of the first battalion of the first regiment will suffer!"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
Lu Tianlong ordered the field staff to take away the aerial bombs and rockets and only keep machine gun ammunition to ensure the necessary mobility.
"Captain Huang, Captain Xu, I leave this place to you! If I can't come back, remember to take good care of my wife and children!"
Xu Gun walked straight towards his fighter plane without saying a word, while Huang Rongfa hugged Lu Tianlong.
"Commander, I'm sorry! You are the commander and you have to stay here to command. Isn't this just a reconnaissance mission? Old Xu, go!"
Xu Gun boarded the fighter plane which had also been unloaded of aerial bombs and rockets, closed the window, saluted the struggling Lu Tianlong, started the engine, and climbed into the blue sky.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Gun flew over Lushan Mountain. At this time, Kei Miura Kenjiro also keenly discovered Xu Gun's plane and immediately ordered the artillery regiment to stop shelling and remain silent!
Xu Gun marked several suspicious points on the map, but still could not confirm the specific location.
Xu Gun knew that if the coordinates reported to the artillery regiment were inaccurate and the opportunity was lost, the artillery regiment would most likely be subjected to a retaliatory attack, and the entire artillery regiment might even be completely destroyed.
"Commander, I'll go down and take a look!"
