A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

More than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were just staring blankly in the rear, unable to help at all.

A Japanese infantry battalion of more than a thousand people was surrounded right under their noses and was being besieged by the spearhead regiment, with its men being reduced in number every moment.

When Hideo Nakamura received the report, his face turned ashen with anger.

He had thought that this battle would be difficult to fight, but he never imagined it would be so tricky.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, several small units of the spearhead regiment are infiltrating the locust army."

At this moment, the Japanese communicator hurried to the temporary command post to report to Hideo Nakamura.

"Nani!"

After all, Hideo Nakamura has more than 10,000 men under his command, scattered across the mountains like herding sheep. He will definitely not attack from only one place.

There were also Japanese attacking troops in several other places.

Due to terrain restrictions, some used squadrons as vanguards, while others used infantry battalions as vanguards.

However, the spearhead regiment's infiltration companies were also discovered in several other battlefields.

Zheng Kaixuan ordered his soldiers to hold their ground in the front and then to infiltrate the enemy from the flanks with several small units wearing bulletproof vests.

Use troops several times smaller than theirs to surround the Japanese.

Of course, they could only surround the vanguard troops of several Japanese troops.

Except for the Japanese infantry battalion that is currently trapped in this valley, the other groups have not yet formed a complete encirclement.

"Order them to retreat and avoid being surrounded. Zheng Kaixuan is truly treacherous! If they were on flat ground, they would definitely be no match for the locust army!"

Hideo Nakamura felt extremely frustrated.

He had to give orders immediately, ordering his other troops to retreat temporarily, so as to avoid being defeated one by one by Zheng Kaixuan's strategy of strangling the enemy, which would have been a huge loss.

"Immediately survey the enemy's position and order all mortar squadrons and infantry artillery squadrons to bombard the Eighth Route Army's positions immediately to clear the way for the infantry!"

"Hi!"

Hideo Nakamura has several mortar squadrons and infantry artillery squadrons under his command.

The mortar is not bad, weighing only a few dozen kilograms, and can be disassembled and carried by several soldiers.

Infantry guns often weigh hundreds of kilograms and require a dozen or even dozens of soldiers to disassemble and carry them.

In this complex mountain environment, mortars can still be used, but infantry guns are not so convenient.

It can be said that in such a mountain valley, it is extremely difficult to find flat ground for setting up infantry gun positions.

Both types of guns are of the indirect-fire type.

The person who invented the indirect-fire cannon was actually a genius, because the indirect-fire cannon could fire shells across one or two hills without seeing the enemy, causing effective damage to the enemy.

But there is a prerequisite.

That means you must have the coordinates of the enemy position!

The most powerful manifestation of a unit on the battlefield is the ability of infantry and artillery to fight in coordination.

In areas with relatively flat terrain, the infantry and artillery of many units can cooperate quickly.

If the infantry cannot take a place, they can request artillery support and notify the artillery to open fire through fast and mobile communication methods.

However, in mountain warfare, coordination between infantry and artillery is extremely difficult.

When the artillery receives a request for support, the first thing they have to do is to confirm the coordinates of the enemy positions and the coordinates of the enemy firing points.

Of course, this is the case when the artillery is also not far from the battlefield.

Otherwise, it would take a long time just to mobilize the artillery units.

In such deep mountains and forests, it is very difficult to determine data such as location and distance.

It is difficult to achieve precise strikes with artillery fire, and even if artillery fire is used to cover the enemy, it is very difficult to cause heavy casualties to the enemy.

So generally speaking, on local battlefields in the mountains, the Japanese infantry rarely called for support from artillery squadrons.

By the time the artillery support arrives, the daylily will probably be cold.

The Japanese infantry companies and infantry battalions basically relied on the grenade launchers and a few sporadic mortars equipped in their own teams.

Now, Hideo Nakamura was furious and ordered several of his Japanese infantry companies to prepare to join the battle immediately.

Dozens of mortars and infantry guns were set up in the deep mountains and forests, choosing some relatively flat and open terrain as much as possible.

The muzzles of the guns were all pointed towards the sky, but no one fired.

They were waiting, waiting for the scouts and observers on the front line to send them the exact coordinates and information.

At this moment, a few hundred meters above the sky, a Triumph drone quickly circled over the Japanese position, and then flew back to Zheng Kaixuan.

"Quick, count the positions of the Japanese artillery team."

Several officers and soldiers of the spearhead regiment, holding pencils in their hands, watched the video intently.

"This is Lion Head Ridge. About 100 meters east of the main peak of Lion Head Ridge, there are three Japanese mortars..."

"This place is Yingchougou. At the northern bottom of the gully, there are four Japanese infantry guns..."

"This is Niujiaopo. There are two Japanese mortars at the left and right horns..."

The Japanese are not familiar with the terrain here, but many soldiers of the Sharp Knife Regiment who grew up locally know it very well.

With the video taken by the drone, everyone quickly wrote down various reference objects.

With the guidance of reference objects, you can accurately attack the Japanese artillery force.

In fact, dozens of artillery pieces of the spearhead regiment had already been set up, but they had never fired.

It’s nothing, it’s also due to the lack of precise coordinates.

The Japanese troops were extremely scattered, and their distribution area was too wide to achieve large-scale fire coverage, which would have been a huge waste of artillery shells.

The Japanese artillery units had not shown up before, so the spearhead regiment did not act rashly.

Now the Japanese have begun to set up artillery, and under the monitoring of drones, they are providing the coordinates to the spearhead regiment.

If we don’t fire now, when will we?

"Reference point: Lion Head Ridge, azimuth 28-01, elevation 45, firing angle 05-70..."

"Reference point Niujiaopo, azimuth 56-00, elevation 35..."

"Reference point: Yingchougou..."

"Good location!"

“Good angle!”

"The shells are loaded!"

"All firing parameters have been set."

This time, Zheng Kaixuan personally came to the artillery position to command.

Seeing that the artillery unit was ready, he no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order to fire.

"Fire! Rapid fire! Destroy the enemy's artillery positions with overwhelming firepower!"
