Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

There was a constant rumbling sound.

The shelling from the direction of Tazishan never stopped.

After defeating the 207nd Brigade of the 2th Division of the National Army,

The artillery battalion's artillery fire did not stop, but immediately extended and continued to fire at the 5rd Brigade about 3 kilometers south of Tazi Mountain!

This time, Daniel brought the Type 150 18mm field cannon, which has a range of kilometers.

Relying on the artillery observation post on Tazi Mountain, the Nationalist troops within a radius of 20 kilometers could see everything clearly!

This time, the unprepared 3rd Brigade also suffered an unexpected disaster. Within half an hour, the casualties exceeded 1500!

While the entire Mulan City was working hard and the truck capacity was extremely tight, Yin Xinjun still attached great importance to the battle of Siping. This time, Daniu brought 127 trucks and 4 armored vehicles! There were plenty of artillery shells!

Wang Yaohui saw the artillery fire spreading and knew something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to the observatory.

At the observatory, a soldier was yelling into a microphone.

"Ruler, right +15, full fire, fire!"

"Comrade, enough is enough, our division commander says we can stop!"

The observer looked at the gunner's telescope and said reluctantly,

"Aren't you going to fight now?"

"No more fighting, no more fighting, the commander told me to do so!"

Daniel had a lot of fun, but soon, half of the shells were used up. This time, each gun had 70 shells! That means trucks were used to transport the shells!

Wang Yaohui knew Daniu's characteristics too well. If he didn't give him orders, Daniu would use up all his ammunition!

At the artillery battalion command, upon learning that the nationalist troops besieging Tazi Mountain on the front line had suddenly retreated twenty miles, Da Niu finally smiled happily. He ordered the orderly to open a bottle of white wine for him!

Maybe no one knows that among the Yanwang team of Jingbo Lake, the artillery unit of Daniu killed the most enemies! After all, they started to equip 150 howitzers very early, and this time in Mulan, Yin Xinjun replaced Daniu with a large number of 150 cannons, and the killing range is farther than before!

Here, in the interval between battles,

Wang Yaohui and Chen Chao received the order to withdraw and rest! They immediately handed over to the troops in the division who took over the defense and retreated to the rear!

Just after leaving Tazi Mountain, we saw two self-propelled rocket launchers parked in an open area not far from the foot of the mountain. Four trucks were parked next to them. There was also a machine gun fortification built with sandbags on a slope nearby, and an MG42 machine gun was mounted there!

A group of soldiers sat on the ground, eating canned food and chatting.

Chen Chao and Wang Yaohui looked at them in amazement, as they were all new equipment they had never seen before.

They walked over quickly.

At this time, two soldiers saw the two men, stood up and saluted, saying,

"Hello, Chief of Staff, hello, squad leader!" They were obviously old soldiers from Jingpo Lake, and they were still using the old titles!

Chen Chao knew these two people. After all, they had been in the same cave for several years. He also hurriedly shouted,

"Liu Ziyou, Yan Tao, thanks for coming, otherwise we might not be able to hold this position!"

Yan Tao smiled, opened a pack of cigarettes and handed it over.

"Chief of Staff, this is a new thing! A self-propelled rocket launcher!"

"Where did you get it?"

"Of course the boss got it, it's made in Germany, but its range is only 5 kilometers, so we drove here. The battalion commander and his men are still far away. Their cannon can fire up to 18 kilometers!"

Chen Chao was immediately filled with envy. Their brigade also had several field guns, but unfortunately the shells had been used up long ago!

Wang Yaohui sighed.

"I remember the old company commander said that cannons are the god of war. Today, this truth has been verified! We have cannons with longer range and larger caliber, and we immediately have the upper hand! Otherwise, who knows how many more soldiers would have been sacrificed today!"

Liu Ziyou and his men brought over a box of canned fish.

"Two leaders, please eat some dry food!"

Wang Yaohui was not polite and asked the guard to take it away. They had already finished the canned food.

Chen Chao smiled and said,

"Liu Ziyou, you guys are still happy following the King of Hell, with no shortage of supplies. Unlike us, we are having a hard time now!"

Liu Ziyou was a little embarrassed and said,

"The commander has always attached great importance to our artillery battalion. This time, he allocated a lot of artillery shells and canned food. He used more than 100 trucks alone!"

"You guys stay busy here, let's go say hello to Daniu!"

New Sixth Army Headquarters,

An angry voice sounded,

"Dai Pu, Dai Pu, you lost more than 5000 people in just one day! The entire division was almost crippled, and you still claim to be the elite among the elite!"

Dai Pu had a sad face and complained:

"Commander, it's not that we are incompetent, but the Communist artillery fire is too fierce!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Communist army is short of supplies, and our victory is just around the corner! At this critical moment, our New Sixth Army actually failed. How shameful!"

"That's absolutely not nonsense! The Communist Army's artillery not only has a long range, but also a large caliber, probably around 150mm, much stronger than our American 105mm howitzers!"

Opposite Dai Pu was an elegant officer. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a modest gentleman, like a scholar, but his face was extremely ugly. This man was none other than Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the New Sixth Army!

"Large-caliber heavy artillery?" Upon hearing this news, Liao Yaoxiang showed an expression of disbelief on his face. He frowned, widened his eyes and said, "If the Communist Army had large-caliber heavy artillery, they should have used it long ago! How could they have kept it hidden and waited until now to use it? We have been beating them back from the beginning and have already chased them to Siping. If they really have such a powerful weapon, they should not use it now!"

Dai Pu on the side seemed calmer. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Liao Yaoxiang and said slowly: "General, what you said makes sense. But it is precisely because of this that I feel that there may be some conspiracy. Think about it, we have been chasing all the way, and although we have won many victories, the resistance of the Communist army does not seem to have been completely disintegrated. Moreover, the distance we are chasing is getting longer and longer, and the front line is too long, causing our troops to gradually disperse, and the rear supply line has become fragile. If the Communist army suddenly launches a counterattack or sets a trap at this time, we are likely to fall into a passive situation."

Liao Yaoxiang walked to the map, frowned and thought,

An officer came in.

"report!"

"Come in!"

"According to reconnaissance by multiple troops, the Communist Army seems to have abandoned Siping!"

"Haha, I told you, the Communist army is already at the end of its rope. Order the troops to station in Siping and continue to march towards Changchun!"

In the camp of the great bull,

Wang Yaohui, Chen Chao, and Daniu all looked at the telegram with some confusion.

Daniel said,

"I have sent a telegram to the commander, and he promised to send the shells today. They are fully capable of being used. Why are you retreating now?"

Chen Chao said,

"The higher-ups must have their own plans. We have been fighting the Nationalist army here for a month. Now we should voluntarily give up Siping and retreat to Harbin. This way, our troops can rest and replenish themselves!"

Daniel sighed.

"It just so happens that I have a lot of empty cars here, and I'm planning to send them back to Mulan. Try to get your soldiers on the cars, and we'll go back to Harbin together!"
