Chapter 82: When it comes to cheating people, you are this!

"Commander, the sound of gunfire at the airport has become very weak. Could it be that the British army is finished?" Lin Yi asked worriedly as he listened to the sound of gunfire getting weaker and weaker in the distance.

“If the British army is destroyed, will it affect us?”

This was the real reason why Lin Yi was worried. After all, the airport was equivalent to a retreat route for them. There were strong fortifications there. With more than 2,000 people of the Sichuan Army, there would be no problem in defending it.

If the airport is lost, it will have a huge impact on morale.

Only Long Wenjian and Meng Fanle looked at each other without saying anything more.

I can only admire my own regimental commander in my heart. He is really brave.

He actually harmed his allies in this way.

I'm afraid the British will never know until they die how they were cheated to death.

As I said, don’t offend your own regiment commander, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.

"Maybe the Japanese army couldn't capture the airport and decided to retreat." Cun Yunsheng glanced in the direction of the airport and said indifferently.

From the moment he led the Sichuan Army to leave the airport, he sentenced the British army to death in his heart.

Now he was happy to see the British army destroyed, otherwise he would have felt very uncomfortable holding this anger in his heart.

"Okay, don't worry about the Japanese troops at the airport. What we need to do now is to wipe out the Japanese troops in front of us, the field artillery regiment. This is a feast." Cun Yunsheng waved his hand, and then looked at the 56th Field Artillery Regiment not far away, which was preparing to quickly pass through the mountain road.

At this time, the Japanese army had no idea that there would be ambushes on the hills on both sides of the mountain road.

After all, when the search team passed by before, there was no sound of gunfire.

This led to them subconsciously thinking that there was no ambush here.

In addition, the search team urged them so urgently that they didn't even send out a search team.

"Notify the artillery company to move the line of fire back 300 meters. Don't give those mountain cannons a chance to fire." Cun Yunsheng put down the telescope and gave the order.

"Yes."

Following the order, the artillery company that had been prepared whistled again, without any suspense.

The sound of artillery blew the marching Japanese artillery into the sky.

"beat!"

This was followed by dense and rapid gunfire, and the Japanese vanguard was immediately hit by a fierce bullet attack.

The ones rushing in the front are always the sidecars, which is the Japanese army’s marching habit.

Because the sidecar is not considered a heavy weapon, it can also be equipped with a light machine gun and can provide reconnaissance missions at any time.

Moreover, there are not many soldiers, only three people, so even if they are attacked, there will not be too much loss.

If they encountered a truly ragtag army, after the first wave of bullets, I'm afraid many people on the sidecar would still survive.

However, they were facing the Sichuan Army, whose members were all equipped with semi-automatic and automatic weapons, plus they had supplies provided by the US military, and Cun Yunsheng occasionally dropped weapons and equipment. It can be said that the Sichuan Army had no shortage of weapons and ammunition.

The dense stream of bullets instantly knocked the Japanese soldiers riding three-wheeled vehicles at the front to the ground, and no one survived.

At the same time, the heavy machine gun positions on the hilltop, which had been on high alert, began to roar.

The bullets attacked the Japanese army like tongues of fire.

The Japanese army was stunned on the spot. Before their trucks could react, the tires were blown out by the dense bullets. The artillerymen on the trucks had no time to react and were covered in blood on the spot.

In an instant, the entire mountain road became extremely lively, with artillery shells firing from the positions on the top of the mountain towards the Japanese troops on the mountain road.

Countless bullets fired at the Japanese troops on the mountain road.

Truck after truck was destroyed.

The cannons were destroyed before they could fully demonstrate their power.

Some Japanese soldiers reacted quickly, dodged the hail of bullets and tried to counterattack.

But what greeted them was even more intense artillery fire.

"120mm heavy artillery?" Colonel Soji Tomei looked at the chaotic scene in front of him in disbelief. When he heard a sharper whistling sound, his face became even paler.

At this time, the Sichuan Army's artillery company had expanded its 120mm heavy mortar from the original one to five.

In addition to the three guns supported by the US military, Cun Yunsheng fired another gun and hundreds of artillery shells.

It can be said that the artillery company at this moment is absolutely brutal in firepower.

Five 120mm heavy mortars were lined up in a row, with dozens of boxes of shells behind them.

With an order, all the boxes were opened, and the gunner held the shells in both hands and slowly put them into the barrel.

But the shells were not fired immediately.

The artillery then retreated to a safe distance of more than ten meters behind.

According to Cun Yunsheng's request, Krupp modified the 120mm heavy mortar.

Use pull cord to fire!

The advantage of doing this is that it prevents the gun position from being unstable and shifting, thereby injuring the surrounding soldiers.

After all, artillery is much more valuable than artillery.

Especially now that they have Stilwell's support, the thing they have the most is artillery, and artillerymen are especially precious.

The second is to reduce the damage caused by the muzzle blast during firing.

The damage of the 60mm mortar is not very great and can be accepted by normal people.

The 81mm mortar is barely acceptable, but the 120mm heavy mortar definitely can't withstand a few of them.

Therefore, the 120mm mortar at this time has become a rope-fired one, which greatly reduces the damage to artillery.

Not only that, the firing speed was also much faster. Several artillerymen could take turns to hold the shells and put them into the barrel, without having to grab one person and pull them hard.

"Why are there so many heavy artillery?" Considering the rhythm of the heavy artillery firing, Colonel Souji Tomei immediately judged that the opponent had at least ten 120mm mortars, which was an absolutely elite force.

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question.

Because Colonel Souji Tomi was already considering retreating. After all, the Japanese army wanted to organize a defense, but they found that they couldn't organize a defense at all.

There was fierce firepower on the front, countless artillery shells in the sky, and the enemy was in a dominant position, so they had no cover to hide and could only passively take the beating.

So, Colonel Souji Tomei immediately ordered a retreat.

At the same time, the engineering battalion was ordered to organize defense to prevent the enemy from pursuing.

The Japanese army would fight to the death at any time. If they encountered an enemy ambush or encirclement, they would definitely choose to retreat. If they just charged forward blindly, they would be committing suicide.

Not to mention that the field artillery regiment is also the elite force of the 56th Division, and it must not be lost here.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army naturally would not give up this great opportunity, so the heavy artillery of the artillery company began to block the enemy's retreat route.

The rest of the soldiers jumped out of their positions and chased after the Japanese army.

Seeing this scene, Colonel Souji Tomei was terrified and immediately shouted loudly.

"Send a telegram immediately to the 56th Search Wing and request their tactical support."

"Hi." The signalman sent the message immediately.

At this moment, Colonel Usuke Hirai was enjoying the British dinner at the airport.

It has to be said that this was indeed a rich dinner for Colonel Hirai Uesuke, who had been on a forced march for several days.

These past few days, they have been living like ascetics for the Japanese army. Many of them have lost a lot of weight, and non-combat casualties are even more serious.

Just as he was enjoying all this comfortably, he was startled by the sudden sound of gunfire.

"Where's the sound of gunfire?" Colonel Hirai Usuke shouted immediately, thinking it was another harassment from the fleeing soldiers.

After all, they encountered too many defeated soldiers along the way, and in order to hurry on, they simply chose to give up.

Now that they heard the sound of gunfire, they thought it was another attack by the fleeing soldiers, so they didn't take it seriously.

But when the sound of gunfire became louder and louder, Colonel Hirai Usuke finally could not sit still anymore.

"Colonel, this direction seems to be the field artillery regiment." The chief of staff said with some concern.

If there is a problem with the field artillery regiment, it will be troublesome.

In addition to destroying the Sichuan Army at the airport, their goal was to capture Lashio.

Without the field artillery regiment, they would not be able to attack Lashio with complete confidence.

"Heavy artillery?" Colonel Hirai Usuke's face finally changed slightly when he heard the sound of artillery getting louder and louder.

"Could it be the Sichuan Army?" According to information released by the military, the Sichuan Army has varying numbers of artillery pieces, including 120mm heavy mortars.

Now hearing the familiar voice, Colonel Hirai Usuke naturally looked unhappy.

Their mission was to destroy the Sichuan Army, but they didn't encounter the Sichuan Army and were humiliated by the British Army instead. After they finally retaliated, the Field Artillery Regiment encountered the Sichuan Army.

Thinking of this, Colonel Hirai Uesuke no longer had time to enjoy the food. He immediately assembled his troops and prepared to provide support.

Unfortunately, all the members of the 56th Search Regiment were enjoying the food, and their tense spirits relaxed. They were not able to gather again quickly, but instead became slow.

After all, humans are not machines. After a long march and the recent battle, their physical strength has been exhausted to the extreme. They have finally been able to replenish their strength, but now they have to gather again for a forced march and fight, so they will naturally become much more slack.

Even though their fighting spirit is very strong, the physical fatigue cannot be overcome.

"Baga, don't delay, the field artillery regiment is waiting for our rescue." Colonel Uesuke Hirai roared angrily.

"Haha." The officers could only bite the bullet and urge their subordinates to assemble quickly.

On the other side, Cun Yunsheng saw the field artillery regiment begin to retreat, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack.

"kill!"

"Kill the devils."

"Kill."

"Come on!"

Long Wenjian next to him was the first to jump out of the trench, holding a Thompson submachine gun and howling like a wolf.

"Go ahead, Yang Liulang. If you can't go ahead, just drink the rice soup..."

"Kill Xiao Dongyang."

"Commander, your messenger is not reliable at all. When the battle started, he rushed forward first. People who didn't know him would think he was the commander." Meng Fanle couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw Long Wenjian disappearing.

"Blow the charge and wipe out these Japanese troops in one go. Also, have the people from the artillery and engineering companies set booby traps on those artillery pieces. The Japanese reinforcements will be here soon, so give them a drink and bury all our grenades and bombs." Cun Yunsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him and gave another order.

"Aren't we going to stay here to guard it?" Meng Fanle asked puzzledly.

"Why are we still defending? Let's take Tangji City in one go. Don't forget old man Stilwell's orders. We are now a unit directly under the Allied Command, and we still have to follow the orders. Is it so easy to get American aid?" Cun Yunsheng glared at him unhappily.

It's not like I'm disobeying orders.

Meng Fanle looked at the other person with a puzzled look and said, "You are indeed like that."

He is so bold that he even dares to betray his allies and now wants to follow orders. It is really incomprehensible.

"You know nothing. There must be an arsenal left by the British army in the city. Won't they all be ours then?" Cun Yunsheng looked around and said in a low voice.

"The volunteers still haven't found their weapons yet. Should we find a way to help them?"

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and guessed that you are the kind of person who will not do anything without benefits.

　I will update first and make changes later, and the update will be completed earlier today!
