And this is Wei Dayong's Plan C.

If the Japanese only dispatched a part of their troops to pursue the enemy, the artillery regiment would use mountain artillery to hit the Japanese infantry from a distance. The infantry and cavalry were waiting to harvest the corn.

Four kilometers away, more than 40 mountain field guns were arranged in a rectangular artillery position. Following Yao Shangwu's instructions, a neat sound of shaking handles was heard from each gun position.

As the gunners of the Eighth Route Army quickly shook the handle, the muzzle of the gun quickly rose, pointing the muzzle in the direction of the Japanese.

There are many shell boxes stacked behind each gun.

Yao Shangwu: "Mountain cannon, reload in one shot!"

The shirtless Eighth Route Army gunner quickly opened the shell box and took out a grenade. The deputy gunner took it and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun.

The main gunner pulled the match rope and shouted at the same time: "Loading is complete!"

Yao Shangwu: "Let go!"

The match rope was pulled back, and the cannonball rushed out of the barrel, soared into the sky, crossed an arc in the sky, and shot towards the Japanese.

The location of the devil.

The remaining 2,000-odd Japs were not scattered, but were leaning on rifles and kneeling together, waiting for orders.

The formation was very dense, with trucks and mule and horse transport teams lined up on the dirt road.

The sharp whistle of artillery shells sounded overhead. Ichirō Sakanishi, Norimasa Morita, and more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers looked overhead in shock.

"Artillery fire, lie down!" Morita Norizheng roared towards the direction where the shells fell.

A moment later, the shell accurately fell into the Japanese formation.

Although the Japanese had a premonition of the shells and immediately fell to the ground, it was useless.

boom--

With the sound of the explosion, four or five Japanese were lifted up by the air waves, and then hit the ground heavily. Their limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

The test shot was very accurate.

Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately called over the radio: "The bombardment parameters remain unchanged, the whole regiment fires 5 rounds rapidly, let go!"

On the artillery regiment position, Yao Shangwu shouted almost simultaneously: "The artillery parameters remain unchanged, the whole regiment fires 5 rounds rapidly, let go!"

The gunners who were holding the match ropes pulled back the match ropes in their hands, and the gunners next to them quickly turned around with very standard movements.

More than 40 mountain field guns roared simultaneously, a cloud of dust instantly rose from the artillery regiment's position, and more than 40 mountain field artillery shells shot into the sky one after another.

As soon as the shell rushed out of the barrel, the gunner behind him quickly handed over a shell. The assistant gunner took it and stuffed it into the barrel and closed the running bolt. The main gunner stepped forward and pulled the match rope back.

At the Japs' position, a shell shattered Ichiro Sakanishi's last worry, so he decided to order a retreat.

It is important to complete the mission, but the prerequisite is to save lives first, save the lives of the remaining 2,000 or so imperial soldiers, and wait until they can join up with the main force of the 36th Division.

Defeat the Eighth Route Army base in one fell swoop and avenge the brave warriors of the 225th Regiment!

The flag commander had just conveyed Banishi Ichiro's order in flag language to the Japanese in the rear.

Groups of artillery shells, with a terrifying whistling sound, smashed down on the Japs' heads.

Boom boom boom—boom boom—boom—

Before the Japs had time to disperse, groups of artillery shells landed among them and exploded.

The exploding fire and mud mist were like the most beautiful, gorgeous yet short-lived flower of death in the world.

The Japanese soldiers who were bombarded reacted very quickly and immediately scattered in all directions, with the Japanese soldiers running wildly all over the mountains and plains.

But this could not hold back the Eighth Route Army's abundant artillery shells. Groups of artillery shells roared in and exploded continuously, killing the Japanese.

An artillery shell fell on a truck filled with artillery shells. With a bang, the truck was instantly blown to pieces.

Then there was a series of violent explosions, and the artillery shells on the truck exploded.

Many of the ammunition boxes contained mustard gas shells, and the yellow gas filled the air instantly.

The Japanese who came into contact immediately foamed at the mouth, and their skin quickly festered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then fell to the ground and twitched all over.

Seeing this scene, Ichiro Banishi and Norimasa Morita were so angry that they hurried away from the poisonous gas and ordered an evacuation to the north.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers ran towards the road they came from.

But the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells seemed to have eyes. Wherever the Japanese went, the artillery shells would hit them.
Chapter completed!
