This 92 Infantry Cannon is considered a small cannon among artillery equipment. Among the Japanese establishment, it is even considered an infantry equipment. But regardless of its size, it is still a cannon.

This cannon looks like a short, poor man, not at all mighty and domineering, and looks a bit miniscule. But this is a layman's view. The puppet army is more or less a soldier, and before they become a puppet army,

, most people have experienced the explosion of this thing.

That's what I'm talking about. Seeing yourself and others being pointed at cannons is a huge psychological pressure.

Originally, the morale of the puppet army was low, but now the 92 infantry cannon dragged by Li Dayan was pointed at it. The trapped puppet army completely lost the will to resist. Under the leadership of a puppet army officer, they threw away their weapons.

They walked out, lined up one by one, raised their hands and surrendered.

There were fifty or sixty people in this puppet army. He was divided and surrounded by them. The larger group surrendered, and the puppet army in other directions was divided into scattered puppet troops. As long as there were no Japanese mixed among them.

Those who were supervising the battle almost lost the will to continue fighting.

Under the shouts of the people around them, they looked at the short-necked muzzle of the 92 Infantry Cannon at the foot of the mountain, and began to give up resistance one after another and hand over their weapons.

On the contrary, none of the Japanese soldiers gave up resistance, even though they had lost all their heavy weapons and supplies and ammunition, and were divided into several positions.

In their direction, there were forty or fifty Japs, and they were holding on to about seventy or eighty puppet troops, trying to fight to the end. For these stubborn Japanese and puppet troops, they ordered all the attacking troops to withdraw.

Using local materials, they used the captured light and heavy machine guns to block the Japanese's breakout route, adopting the bluffing tactics of encircling without attacking. Then Li Dayandai and the others brought in a mortar and several grenades to attack all the mortars.

The artillery shells were brought over, preparing to use mortars to drive this group of Japanese and puppet troops into an ambush circle.

He, Qi Dajiu and others started to take a look at the artillery. To be honest, he had seen pictures of the 92 Infantry Artillery. It looked pretty good, but he had never seen the real thing.

Besides, this was the first time they had captured this kind of artillery, so they naturally had to take a closer look. Although there were no artillery in his army, he had started preparing his own artillery a long time ago.

Because he believed that he would be able to capture the Japanese artillery sooner or later, he did not expect that it would take so long for his troops to capture the first artillery piece.

Zhang Yunfei really didn't know how to use this kind of artillery, but after preparing his own artillery for so long, he somewhat understood the characteristics and usage procedures of this artillery. Zhang Yunfei learned this from Li Dayan Dian.

To be honest, it is a big feat to have Li Dayandai, who usually talks less and chokes people, as a teacher. Just to learn how to use this crap, because there is no real object as a reference, what you learn is half the result with twice the effort, and you are often criticized.

Li Dayandian choked on his words.

The 92 Infantry Cannon is quite famous. Its total weight is only over 200 and its caliber is 70 mm. With its two wheels removed, it is lower than a heavy machine gun and can be pulled by a donkey.

It can be used as a mountain cannon when shooting upwards, or when shooting horizontally. It can also be disassembled when needed and carried by several people, especially in the mountainous Taihang area.

This thing is the favorite weapon used by the Japanese in mountain warfare. Although the caliber is a bit small, it is enough for general field fortifications. Moreover, this kind of artillery can shoot both horizontally and upward at a large angle.

This artillery is not very powerful, but it is a combination of howitzer, mortar, and direct-aiming artillery. Its versatility is also one of its characteristics.

The most important thing is that the gun body is shorter than a mortar. It is only half a meter high when the shield and wheels are removed. This thing can be hidden in the grass without being easily discovered.

When fighting the Japanese, the chance of troops encountering this kind of artillery is even greater than the chance of encountering mortars and mountain artillery. Together with grenades, it is the biggest threat to combat troops' light and heavy machine guns.

As a man who has always wanted to build his own artillery unit, he doesn't want to have to give up after he captures artillery suitable for his own unit because he doesn't know how to use it.

Their fire platoon was dedicated to learning how to use artillery. Of course, the 92nd Infantry Artillery, which was the easiest to access, naturally became a teaching example.

For the Japanese and puppet troops who were stubbornly resisting, Zhang Yunfei was ready to use this artillery to give them the final blow.

Watching the fire platoon push the 92 Infantry Cannon, Li Dayandai personally controlled the position aiming at the Japanese.

Qi Dajiu's eyes bulged with envy, and he had to lament Zhang Ergou's good luck. Damn it, he didn't know how much he had lamented Zhang Ergou's luck.

Fighting is all about Tubal, and sometimes the uniforms are not all together. Even if they are, they are not uniform. Everyone should be the same, and there will be a balance in the mind. But this guy Zhang Ergou is just different from others.

It was as if the enemy's equipment was being sent to him. This time, it was even more profitable. Cannons, heavy machine guns, and mortars were all available.

Fortunately, this time I saw the opportunity quickly and had the shamelessness to follow him, otherwise I wouldn't get any benefit at all.

Well, it's just that he captured a lot of money. The key is that his mother's hands are actually good at using cannons. This is unreasonable.

Things like luck are really amazing. You know, back then, Li Dayandai was treated as an old, weak, sick and disabled person and kicked hard by Zhang Ergou. I didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a treasure.

Qi Dajiu couldn't help but secretly complain about He Jicheng, he really has a blind eye and cannot see gold inlaid with jade.

Qi Dajiu secretly complained in his heart, and the Japanese who were trapped in the position also felt bitter. There were actually some people in this group of Eighth Route Army who knew how to use artillery, and they were experienced artillery experts. They had suffered a lot.

The Japanese on the battlefield are naturally very clear about the performance of their own artillery, and they are even more aware of the current threat to themselves.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately tried to break out. However, several breakout attempts were beaten back by the concentrated firepower of the completely encircled troops.

Li Dayandai skillfully controlled the artillery. The first shell exploded in the Japanese position, and then quickly fired the second one. The two consecutive shells accurately hit the Japanese and puppet positions.

These two shells caused immediate casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops who were located on a hilltop with little cover in a small area.

For the first time, I saw two artillery shells fired by my own troops, accurately exploding on the Japanese and puppet army positions. The explosion caused heavy casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops, and the troops besieged at the foot of the mountain burst into cheers.

These guys think of this thing as a big firecracker or something.

As the artillery opened fire, the besieging troops immediately assumed a general attack posture on the small hill under the cover of heavy machine guns.

For the Eighth Route Army, which rarely received artillery cover in combat, even if this infantry gun fired, its caliber was only 70 centimeters, and its power was incomparable to that of a real mountain cannon.

But this was enough to make the soldiers who were already extremely tired after continuous marching and fighting suddenly have a much higher morale.

The Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain was cheering, but the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops on the mountain were in a state of sadness. They knew that if they continued to stay here and hold on, they would not need to attack by the Eighth Route Army, but could just bombard them alive with artillery.

Knowing that they were just waiting to die, they saw the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain preparing for a general attack. They immediately launched a counterattack and tried to get closer to the Eighth Route Army to avoid being bombed by staying here.

This tactic was often used by the Eighth Route Army, which lacked supporting firepower and even had few heavy machine guns and insufficient ammunition when fighting the Japanese.

Use cover to get as close to the enemy as possible. As long as you get mixed up with the Japs, the Japs' light and heavy supporting fire will prevent you from accidentally injuring your own people, so you can only cease fire.

Fight the Japanese to the fullest to offset their firepower advantage, and then concentrate superior forces to fight the Japanese with bayonets. This is a commonly used tactical method by the Eighth Route Army in fighting the Japanese.

Although this method of warfare often kills a thousand enemies, with the Japs' strong individual soldier qualities and hand-to-hand combat capabilities, the self-destruction would be at least a thousand. However, given the general lack of artillery, even the most basic bullets have to be counted.

Under the circumstances of fighting.

This is also the most helpless choice for the Eighth Route Army, and it can also be regarded as the most optimal choice. The Eighth Route Army is so poor that it lacks heavy weapons.

Three Guns and Eight Routes, this is the nickname given by the Japanese to this tactic of the Eighth Route Army. This is the current situation of both sides on the battlefield, but it has been adjusted. The Eighth Route Army used the captured weapons to form a one-sided firepower advantage and lost all their heavy weapons.

The Japanese soldiers resorted to the Eighth Route Tactics that they originally looked down upon.

There is no way, equipment determines technique and tactics. They were hit by an eight-pronged sneak attack and suffered heavy casualties. The artillerymen who lost all their equipment did not know how many shells they lost.

With such a small area, if the Eighth Route Army smashed all the remaining shells regardless of ammunition consumption, it would be enough to flatten the place where they were staying. If they stayed there any longer, wouldn't they be courting death?

If you give it a try, you can at least make the artillery in the distance that was originally yours but now becomes the Eighth Route Army cease fire. While reducing your own casualties, you can also look for opportunities to break out.

Confident Japs, they at least believe that they can still take advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and it is their consistent tradition to break their entire body in order to avoid being captured when the war is unfavorable.

However, it was only the remaining dozens of Japanese who launched a dying attack. When the puppet troops on the mountain rushed forward to fight the Eighth Route Army to the death, they neatly arranged their weapons in categories.

After the battle at the foot of the mountain is over, they can surrender. Since they are ready to be prisoners, they must be conscious and not cause trouble to others.

However, the Japanese who rushed out of their position and launched a desperate counterattack discovered to their surprise that the Eighth Route Army, which had been clamoring to attack the hill position at any time, turned out to be just bluffing and had not actually charged towards the mountain at all.

When these dozens of Japs jumped out of hiding, they were exposed on the bare mountainside with the Sanba Gai in their hands, and saw these dozens of Japs rushing out.

Li Shengrong, the ninth company commander who was in charge of the command, did not show any courtesy and directly pulled the trigger of the shell gun in his hand. The light machine gunners behind him also fired one after another, directly sweeping away the dense ammunition.

Now that they have seized such ammunition, and now have a tactical advantage, they are still fighting you in hand-to-hand combat. Isn't this being careless? Moreover, these little devils don't even know how to engage in hand-to-hand combat at close range.

Who the hell is rushing forward like this? Isn't this a target for others? You know, when the Eighth Route Army approaches, they usually use grenades to clear the way.

First of all, that thing can make the enemy lie down and have no time to counterattack. Secondly, it can be used as a smoke bomb to block the opponent's sight.

How can there be a little devil like this, who just rushes out in such a stupid manner, stupid or not, whoever can do something to the other party and risks the risk to fight with the bayonet, isn't that an idiot?

I really thought that the Eighth Route Army was so fond of stabbing, but it was forced by reality. Now it can use firepower to meet the enemy and reduce its own casualties. Who wouldn't want to use this cheap method?

Five or six light machine guns plus dozens of rifles fired at once, and the dense firepower at close range knocked down the Japanese who counterattacked. When the gunfire subsided, dozens of Japanese were beaten into briquettes, and their bodies were lying all over the place.

Halfway up the hillside.

In a situation where the situation was reversed, to be honest, the Japs' performance was many orders of magnitude worse than that of the Eighth Route Army.

They fought extremely easily this time. The main reason was that they had more troops than the Japanese and puppet troops. The main reason was that they took away the Japanese artillery and heavy machine gun positions.

The firepower advantage that the Japs relied on was suddenly gone, and they were able to kill the Japs with such a huge advantage.

Zhang Yunfei asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and before the battle at the regiment headquarters was over, they had to escape quickly.

"The regimental leader and political commissar are over there, we are not going to report to them." Qi Dajiu asked a little puzzled.

"I have sent someone to report to them. We just took advantage of the Japanese's new defeat and had no time to take care of the Dongshunheqiao stronghold and Fangjiashan stronghold. We just took this opportunity to take him down." Zhang Yunfei explained.

"That's what you're doing for this?" Qi Dajiu didn't believe it very much. Zhang Ergou's mind was spinning so fast that he must be thinking of something else.

"Are you really stupid, or are you pretending to be stupid? Let me ask you, what is your mission?"

"Attack Fangjiashan stronghold."

"Did you take it down?"

"Uh, no"

"Isn't this the end? We failed to complete the mission. This battle can only be regarded as making up for our mistakes. Do you think we still have our share of the spoils?" Zhang Yunfei asked.

"No way, we conquered this all, why should we hand over everything that's left?" Qi Dajiu said with a face full of disbelief.

"Why? If the political commissar of the regiment asks you this, and you haven't completed the tasks assigned to you, why do you still have the dignity to share the spoils? How do you answer?"

Qi Dajiu: "..."

He was really confused by Zhang Ergou's question, but he always felt that what Zhang Ergou said was unreasonable, but if he wanted to collect the loot from his subordinates, he would definitely use it without hesitation if there was such a good reason.

It’s just that the political commissar of the regiment would not really do this. When Zhang Ergou said this, he began to panic. He licked his face and followed Zhang Ergou. After finally getting some equipment, he was still warm.
