Devil's Army

Platoon Leader Wang and his soldiers had not been running for long when they saw Battalion Commander He and a regiment commander rushing towards them.

"Victory, victory!" Platoon Leader Wang and his soldiers successfully escaped the Japanese's pursuit. He happily hugged a group of soldiers who rushed up and shouted for joy.

Battalion Commander He returned to the brigade headquarters and reported to Brigade Commander Liu on the process of destroying the Japanese headquarters.

Brigade Commander Liu was also very happy after hearing this. This way, he not only avenged the Japanese sneak attack, but also avenged the Japanese cavalry who slaughtered his second and third battalions. But this was not enough. Liu Yaohua was still planning a new blow to the Japanese. It would be best if he could be beaten to fear and not dare to think about the Wangjia Dagou gold mine anymore. In this way, they could mine with peace of mind.

Liu Yaohua called the second battalion commander to the brigade headquarters.

The second battalion commander's company was wiped out by the Japanese in a surprise attack, and he kept shouting for revenge.

The Second Battalion Commander heard the Sixth Brigade Commander calling him, and trotted into the brigade headquarters. Before he even entered the brigade headquarters, the voice had already reached him:

"Commander Liu, is this our chance to avenge our humiliation?"

"You really bring shame to our Sixth Brigade! It has always been our Sixth Brigade that launches surprise attacks on the Japs, but now you have turned the tables and let the Japs launch a surprise attack on you, and you have even attacked the Second Company."

"Brigade Commander, could you please stop talking about embarrassing things? It's up to us now. We won't bring shame to the Sixth Brigade!"

"Okay, tonight I'll have the tank company cooperate with you to take down the two lost fortifications."

"No problem. If you fail to complete the mission, I will bring my head to you." The second battalion commander said after saluting Liu Yaohua.

"Go, help me call Captain Liu from the artillery. If we don't destroy the enemy's 100mm howitzer, it will always be a big threat to our tanks!"

After a while, Battalion Commander Liu trotted to the headquarters of the 6th Brigade.

"Captain Liu, my tanks are ready to attack the Japanese, but I'm worried about being bombed by their 100mm howitzers. Is there any way to destroy their 100mm howitzers?"

"We calculated that the Japanese 100mm howitzer is beyond the range of our 150mm howitzer."

"Then move our 180mm howitzer positions forward."

"If our 150mm howitzer positions move forward, our howitzers will also be attacked by the Japanese 100mm howitzers."

"Then there is no other solution? Can we send a golden eagle to scout the enemy's artillery positions?"

"The woods in this area are dense, and the golden eagle probably can't detect any useful information."

"What should we do? Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?"

"We took a risky move and moved our howitzer positions forward. But we divided them into two positions. The rear position only had two 150mm howitzers, which served as bait to attack the Japanese 100mm howitzer positions. When the Japanese bombarded our howitzer positions, another howitzer position located two miles away from this howitzer position quickly locked onto the Japanese 100mm howitzer positions and destroyed them."

"Are the two howitzers used as bait dangerous?"

"There is definitely danger. Don't turn off the truck. Move immediately when the enemy's shells come. Whether you can move safely depends on God's will."

Liu Yaohua fell into deep thought. Was it a bit too much to sacrifice two 150mm howitzers and artillery in exchange for the complete annihilation of the Japanese artillery and thus win the battle? He didn't dare to make a decision and sent a telegram to Leng Feng for a request.

After a long while, Leng Feng's reply came, which consisted of just two lines of words: Things must be lost, but people must be saved as much as possible.

Liu Yaohua immediately gave orders to Captain Liu to execute his plan and protect the lives of the artillerymen as much as possible. After all, it is not easy to train an excellent artilleryman.

"When to act?"

"It's 5:30 in the afternoon, when the Japanese are having dinner and are less vigilant."

Battalion Commander Liu received the order, saluted Brigade Commander Liu, and went down to make arrangements.

At 150 o'clock in the afternoon, the two mm howitzer positions were moved forward. In order to confuse the Japanese, three small mountain guns were added to the decoy position.

In order to reduce artillery casualties, only one artilleryman was left to operate each gun in the decoy position.

Since this was a life-or-death battle, there were originally three artillerymen operating one cannon, and Captain Liu asked them to draw lots to decide who would stay.

Finally, five artillerymen drew the word "stay". These five artillerymen saluted their teammates who had been with them day and night, and resolutely stayed in the bait position.

In order to prevent the artillery shells from exploding in the position, Captain Liu only left three shells for each artillery piece.

Liu Yaohua was actually very nervous about this combat deployment.

If it was just to defeat this wave of devils, Liu Yaohua was not willing to pay such a high price. But if he could defeat this wave of devils, it would be possible to cut off the Fengtian devils' thoughts on the Wangjiadagou gold mine, which would be worth it.

Liu Yaohua kept pacing in the office, looking at his watch from time to time.

As the time got closer to half past five, Liu Yaohua became more and more anxious. He had never given such a difficult order before.

Will this battle be a complete victory? Liu Yaohua is waiting for half past five.
