Chapter 393: The Water Ghost Appears Again
Captain Fang said: "There is a small hill in that direction that blocks the enemy's sight. You can evacuate quickly.
Your artillery company should hide there first. If the main force retreats, you should go and join them.
Whether the Japanese retreat or escape, they will definitely run towards the small hill.
Remember to hide well, and don't let the Japanese find you."
Things were much simpler afterwards, as Captain Yang's men had already rushed over.
In accordance with the agreement, they began rapid firing with mortars directly at the Japanese strongholds and trenches.
Each gun fired five rapid-fire rounds and they immediately moved their position.
After running to a far place behind the small hill, the entire artillery company hid again.
After a while, a special company dressed in black came running to find them.
In the middle of the night, the artillery company was suddenly surrounded by men in black, and the soldiers were so scared that they almost fired their weapons accidentally.
The commander of the artillery company asked the soldiers to put away their guns, and then spoke in a low voice to Captain Fang.
"What are you doing? You're dressed in black and you came here without making any noise?"
Captain Fang opened his mouth and chuckled, revealing a mouth full of blackened teeth.
The artillery company commander felt so disgusted by what he saw that he couldn't hide his disgusted expression at all.
"Captain Fang, is the battle over? I see the Japanese have already climbed up to the high ground. Should we fight or retreat?"
"Let's retreat. We'll take the water route. You follow Captain Yang and retreat together."
After the discussion, the artillery company commander looked at the people from the special company and quietly went into the water.
Only then did they pack up their mortars and artillery shells and slowly retreat.
But they had just retreated more than 200 meters when they arrived at a cemetery.
Prepare to use the grave as a cover and then stand up and retreat quickly.
Just at this moment, artillery fire sounded behind them.
The people from the artillery company looked back and found that it was the troops led by Commander Yang of the Marine Division who, for some unknown reason, had started attacking the Japanese troops on the small hill again.
"Captain, they are fighting with the Japanese, what should we do?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Of course I did it. What's wrong with you not wanting to take revenge?"
When the people in the artillery company heard that they could fight the Japanese, they ran back with their mortars.
The artillery company commander said: "Come back here, why did you run over there?
It's bare over there, with no infantry cover. What should we do if the Japanese find us?
If the Japanese only used one Type 92 heavy machine gun, we would all be killed right there."
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Whatever you do, you just keep asking me what to do. Can't you just set up an artillery position here?"
"Captain, this is a cemetery. If we set up artillery here, will it disturb the dead and make them blame us?"
"You can fight as much as you want, these are the ancestors of the Chinese people.
We are here to fight the devils and defend our country, they are cheering us on, how could they possibly blame you."
Just as they set up the mortar, they saw the Japanese infantry starting to retreat towards the river.
"Oh no! These little devils are trying to escape. Immediately send out five guns to block their attack.
Aim the rest of the mortars at the Japanese soldiers lying on the hillside, fire three rounds at high speed, and hit them hard. "
As for the artillery company commander's fighting style, it is very sophisticated.
Perhaps it is not a life-and-death moment yet. The Japanese are now retreating in an organized manner, not running away.
If you fire a few artillery shells at them, the Japanese will at most lie down, and they won't run away.
The company commander ordered the artillery to focus on attacking the Japanese on the hillside because they were the troops responsible for blocking the enemy.
Only by dispersing them can we destroy half of the Japanese military force.
In other words, first attack those holding guns, then attack those who are running away, and the remaining Japanese soldiers will have no morale.
The artillery company commander also took advantage of the time difference and tricked the Japanese.
By the time the defeated Japanese soldiers who had slowed down reacted, it was too late to jump into the river.
The artillery company's twenty mortars can concentrate all its strength to severely beat those Japanese devils.
Sparse shells hit the open space behind the high ground slowly and steadily.
The Japanese soldiers had just laid down according to the infantry drill when they heard heavy artillery fire covering the hillside behind them.
After five rapid shots, the Chinese army's artillery finally stopped shelling.
Looking at the squadron of Japanese soldiers, there were only about thirty soldiers left.
Most of them were still staggering, and had not yet fully recovered from the previous bombardment.
It was as if the souls of those soldiers had been blown away by the shells and they could only retreat towards the river.
Why did the cannonballs stop? Did they run out of ammunition?
Oh no, Jingxia and Qianzo seem to understand something.
Why didn’t the Chinese soldiers fire anymore?
It's not that they've run out of ammunition; they're just turning their guns around, preparing to leave us all in this open space.
"Run!"
The two people in the shallow cabin and the well jumped up and rushed to the river bank which was fifty meters away.
"Boom boom boom..."
They guessed it right. The Chinese army's artillery began firing at high speed again.
All the shells were fired as if they were free, hitting the land full of Japanese invaders.
The shallow cabin and the well were once again overturned to the ground by the blast.
It’s a pity that the sound of the mortar shell explosion came to an abrupt end again.
The artillery company commander angrily asked, "What are you doing? Why did you stop? Why don't you continue firing shells?"
A platoon leader cried, "Captain, we have run out of ammunition."
When the artillery company commander heard this reason, he was so angry that he slapped the tombstone beside him.
"Hey, whose ancestor are you? Why don't you protect us and wipe out these little devils?"
He had no choice, as they were originally cooperating with the Navy Special Company to carry out infiltration operations.
That meant they were doomed to fail. They couldn't bring over too many shells.
"Alas, it's so dark at night. If the Japanese soldiers jump into the river, they can quickly escape to the other side."
As he was thinking about this, he saw three or four hundred Japanese soldiers running to the edge of the river bank.
Suddenly, about a hundred men in black holding submachine guns emerged from the dark river.
As soon as this group of men in black emerged from the water, they formed a skirmish line and started shooting.
Many of the Japanese soldiers running in the front were the logistics staff of the brigade and the artillerymen who had lost their artillery.
They opened their arms and could only use their chests to welcome the bullets' judgment on them.
In their eyes, these men in black seemed like the death-seeking god.
It was like a demon from the underworld, constantly reaping their lives with short bursts of fire.
But in the artillery company's soldiers' telescopes, they looked more like the folks who had been killed by Japanese pirates over the past hundreds of years.
They are unwilling to reincarnate in the underworld and would rather transform into Asuras in hell.
They also have to come to the human world in person to take the lives of these beasts that are bringing disaster to China.
The artillery company commander had already recognized them. In fact, these men in black were the soldiers from the Navy's special company who had just retreated.
Since their special company is from the navy, they have to retreat by water.
Of course, when they returned to Gannan safely and went to the headquarters to report their results, they were blocked by Song Wenwan.
Song Wenwan didn't hesitate to call the Navy Commander Chen Zhikuan and the Minister of the Navy Training Department over.
In addition, Captain Fang, who was on this mission, was also scolded a lot.
