Chapter 260 The Battle of Tanggu Ends Perfectly
“The campground is never missed!”
When Lu Fei heard that someone was doubting Wei Mingsuo, he immediately became unhappy and began to object.
"You can insult me!
But you can’t doubt Yingzuo’s judgment!” he added again.
No matter what, this small team of less than twenty people still sprinted back at a speed of 100 meters.
This time Xiao Lei took the initiative to lie on Wei Mingyang's back: Don't you want to eat my tofu? I'll let you eat as much as you like.
Xiao Lei was lying on Wei Mingyang's back like an octopus, with her whole body pressed tightly against her, her hands tightly hugging the man's neck, and her legs crossed around the man's waist.
Wei Mingyang was very pleased with her conscious action: it can still be taught.
This kind of posture can make you feel much more relaxed. Not only can you run easily, but you can also run much faster.
As soon as they stood on the stone bridge, they saw the Japanese motorcycle appearing behind them.
Commander Lu was anxious: "Establish a firepower point next to the stone bridge.
Two machine guns blocked the stone bridge."
The Japs turned out to be a motorcycle team, and such a team charged very quickly.
If we don't use machine guns to block them, let these devils rush over.
The few men and horses I have are simply not enough to fight.
When they saw the Japs, the Japs also saw them.
The guard squadron of the 68th Infantry Regiment rushed to the front to clear the way, Captain Yoshida 56, who saw the figure running in front.
He immediately raised his telescope and observed, and the figures of the two American officers were quickly found by it.
At the same time, it also saw the corpses of war horses and Japanese corpses all over the ground ahead.
You can also see some injured horses kicking from time to time, and you immediately understand: this is the cavalry regiment of the Third Division.
Before the guard squadron accepted the mission, the cavalry regiment received the sortie mission.
There was no longer a Japanese soldier riding a horse on the entire battlefield.
It seems that the Takahashi Cavalry Regiment has been completely destroyed and its mission has not been completed.
Captain Yoshida Fifty-six pulled out his command sword and shouted at the group of people who were still running wildly: "Kill in time!"
Here he drew out his command sword and waved it forward so that the Japs behind him could clearly see it.
At this time, Captain Shin Yuemon, who was in the middle of the team, also saw the team that was still running.
It has no movement and sits calmly on the motorcycle.
Let the motorcycle accelerate and rush forward.
Wei Mingyang had already put Xiao Lei down, and Lu Fei and Yang Dazhu had already set up the mortar.
Wei Mingyang asked: "How many more shells are there?"
"Four!"
There were only four cannonballs, and Wei Mingyang did not dare to use them indiscriminately.
He believed that the Japanese team that rushed over must have been prepared.
The four shells should be used when they are needed most.
Originally, at this time, the Japanese's motorcycles concentrated their charge and bombing with artillery shells could kill many Japanese.
It's a pity that there are too few artillery shells, and Wei Mingyang really doesn't dare to use them!
He could only pick up his rifle and aim at the Japanese soldier on the front motorcycle who raised his command knife.
"Crack!"
With an excited expression on his face, Captain Yoshida Fifty-Six fell headfirst, lost his balance and fell to the ground, and was run over by a motorcycle coming from behind.
The motorcycle behind him tilted its head and suddenly ran off the road and into a ditch on the side of the road.
Captain Yoshida Fifty-six was also completely hopeless.
In fact, no matter whether the motorcycle behind it ran over it or not, it would not survive.
Wei Mingyang's first shot killed the Japanese commander in charge, and the second shot killed the motorcycle driver.
The Japanese motorcycle team began to slow down and stop after Captain Yoshida Fifty-Six fell.
Colonel Stilwell on the Stone Bridge side frowned and said after seeing the Japanese motorcycle team: "A motorized infantry squadron.
It’s going to be difficult now!”
He is a military attache, and his job is to study the armies of various countries.
The Japanese cavalry regiment was originally equipped with infantry cannons and machine guns. Today, the Japanese cavalry underestimated the enemy and thought it could only deal with a dozen remaining soldiers.
We did not bring weapons such as infantry artillery and machine guns with us when we set out, because bringing these weapons would slow down their march.
Takahashi Yusheng, the captain of the regiment, never imagined that a dozen national soldiers could wipe out his entire regiment.
The Japanese's motorized infantry squadron is also equipped with mortars, infantry cannons, machine guns, etc.
They will definitely not forget these weapons.
When Squadron Leader Shin Yuemon got off the motorcycle, he already knew from the Japanese who were lying on the ground in front:
"There was a sharpshooter on the opposite side who sniped and killed Captain Yoshida Fifty-Six from five hundred meters away."
Five Japs have been killed so far.
Is this okay? Squadron leader Shinyuemon immediately ordered: "Mortar! Infantry artillery fire immediately!"
“Team Yoshida’s captain Tamaki is replaced by deputy captain Aso as the acting captain.
Team Aso! Team Guanyue will attack from the left and right!"
This squadron has a total of two infantry squads and a reinforced artillery squad.
Two infantry teams were sent out at the beginning, and the artillery team's Japs were setting up artillery positions.
The four mortars of Aso Sata's artillery squad had already been set up at this time, and the mounts of the two Type 92 infantry guns were still being assembled.
Squadron leader Shin Yuemon couldn't wait any longer and shouted an order: "Mortar! Fire!"
They, the devils, who could lie down for safety, all prostrated themselves on the ground.
The mortar position is set up behind a bunch of motorcycles, which can also block the sight of the sharpshooter on the opposite side.
The squadron commander gave the order to fire, and the artillery squad leader Aso Sata immediately conveyed the order.
Odagiri Souta, the mortar commander, was half-kneeling on the ground, trying not to get ahead of himself, with the flag in his hand pointed downwards: Fire!
Boom! A cannonball was fired.
This is the enemy's test firing!
The first cannonball fell into the river, causing a large splash of water, but it did not explode.
Xiao Lei asked softly: "Squib?"
Wei Mingyang now has no sniper targets, and the Japanese are hiding one by one.
This gave her time to explain her doubts: the Japanese artillery shell fell into the river, and there was probably deep mud underneath, so the fuse of the artillery shell did not trigger.
The first test projectile did not explode, which left the gunner Takesaburo Inagaki with no reference for adjustment.
You can only adjust it at will and launch again.
At this time, it already had an ominous premonition: it had a bad start, and today's attack might not go smoothly.
The second shell exploded in the river more than thirty meters away from the stone bridge, causing a splash of water more than ten meters high.
With the reference object in hand, Takesaburo Inagaki immediately adjusted the parameters and reported to the conductor Sota Odagiri: "The elevation angle is seventy-three and six degrees, and the azimuth is two and a half degrees north by east."
Commander Odagiri Sota ordered: "Everything is present: elevation seventy-three point six, azimuth north by east two and a half degrees."
"Report! Adjustment completed!"
"Report! Adjustment completed!"
Chapter completed!
