The Type 38 field gun was the heaviest, so it fell behind, while the lightweight Type 41 mountain gun and anti-tank gun had already climbed over the hillside here.
At this time, Hashimoto Hiromitsu, the captain of the 26th Artillery Wing, was walking at the forefront of the team.
The main force of the infantry has already left, which shows that the situation encountered before is a bit complicated. Naturally, Hiromitsu Hashimoto also hopes that his own troops can follow up and provide fire support. Therefore, he can only let his light cannon go ahead. Those bulky 38-type field guns could only make them follow slowly.
In this way, Hashimoto Hiromitsu also left behind his main artillery force. He didn't think there was anything inappropriate about this arrangement. After all, for him, providing fire support to the troops was the first priority. It's just that I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would sneak around to the back!
At this time, Hiromitsu Hashimoto was sitting in an armored car and was urging his subordinates to move forward quickly. When gunshots sounded from behind, his face changed and he shouted loudly: "Stop!"
Before the car stopped, Hashimoto Hiromitsu jumped down, picked up the binoculars, and wanted to see what happened behind.
However, the artillerymen at the back were climbing over the mountain, and the troops in front of them had already climbed over the top of the mountain, so he couldn't see anything here at all, he could only listen to the screams and gunshots over there, and he was burning with anxiety.
"The artillerymen are waiting there. Others, come with me to support!" Although he didn't know what happened ahead, Hiromitsu Hashimoto knew that the cannons under his subordinates were quite valuable. , he, the captain of the artillery regiment, had no other choice but to commit suicide.
In the past, this kind of thing was unthinkable. How could the Eighth Route Army get their cannons, but now it is different. Among other things, the Artillery Wing in Datong City recently threw away all the cannons. The entire unit was broken, but it is said that the commanders of the defenders in Datong City were also severely punished. It is not known whether they committed suicide or apologized.
He couldn't bear this responsibility, so he immediately decided to help.
The artillery units are all overstaffed. In addition to the people who operate the cannons, there are other idlers. If calculated, the overstaffing is even more than ten times. Therefore, Hashimoto Hiromitsu is enough to bring sufficient manpower, and then withdraw to support up.
The armored car he was riding in opened the road at the front, and the cannon was behind him, so he couldn't go back in the car. After jumping out of the car, he turned over and got on a horse, took his adjutant, and The idlers other than the gunners rushed back quickly.
The Eighth Route Army actually wanted to rob their own artillery unit, but the Eighth Route Army is impossible to succeed! No matter how many come, how many will be killed by myself!
When riding a war horse and running back quickly from the front, Hiromitsu Hashimoto thought of something again, and shouted loudly: "Mitsui, turn your cannon to the back, and be ready for support at any time!"
Captain Mitsui has 12 Type 94 anti-tank guns. This 37mm anti-tank gun is imitated from the German anti-tank gun. It has good performance, especially the straight trajectory, which is very suitable for rapid shooting.
They are artillery, and artillery has artillery methods. If the Eighth Route Army suddenly appears, they will quickly fire back!
"Yes!" Captain Mitsui replied, and began to order his gunners to prepare. The 12 anti-tank guns turned their muzzles in unison, aimed at the top of the mountain behind them, and aimed at the road they came from. If the Eighth Route Army emerges from there, immediately fire at the Eighth Route Army!
Although it is an anti-tank gun, it can still fire grenades, and it is easy to kill some infantry.
Not only them, even the 41-type mountain cannons in front of the team have turned their muzzles one after another, ready to fire at any time. Their mountain cannons have a curved trajectory. When necessary, they can even go around the top of the mountain and directly hit the target behind the mountain. .
All the gunners were ready, watching their captain Hiromitsu Hashimoto lead the troops and hurried to the other side of the mountain, without realizing that they were already in danger.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and Captain Mitsui, who was always staring at the top of the mountain behind, turned his head around strangely. Then, he opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, quick, put the cannon on!" Turn around!"
Just as they were on their way forward, a cavalry rushed out. The cavalry was as fast as lightning and rushed towards their artillery position.
Their muzzles are all backwards, but the Eighth Route Army suddenly rushed out from the front. How many Eighth Route Army are there? How many cavalry troops are there?
"DahDa da! "Just when the gunners hurriedly started to turn the cannons, the cavalry rushing from the opposite side had already opened fire. The sound rang out, and all the gunners were frightened immediately. All the automatic firepower, this group of cavalry is too powerful!
Bullets strafed over and hit the crowd of artillerymen. Some people kept screaming and fell down. The rest of them didn't dare to move any more, so they could only lie on the side of the artillery to avoid it.
It's a pity that it won't take long to escape like this. The cavalry rushed into the artillery position, drew out their shiny sabers, and began to hack and kill the remaining infantry!
If Hiromitsu Hashimoto didn't leave with his people, they could quickly form a line of defense to intercept the charge of the Eighth Route Army. But now, there is only a group of artillery left, and if they are suddenly killed by cavalry, they will only be slaughtered .
Captain Mitsui pulled out the bastard box and hit a running cavalryman. The cavalryman was injured in his arm. He looked fiercely at Captain Mitsui, and then grabbed the assault rifle on his chest with one hand.
Da da da!
The dense bullets shot into Captain Mitsui's chest.
On the hillside, Hiromitsu Hashimoto led the people, and he had already climbed to the top of the mountain, and he was almost able to see what happened behind him, but the movement behind him shocked Hiromitsu Hashimoto, and he turned his head to go , Seeing the scene on the artillery position, I immediately realized that I was fooled!
If Hashimoto Hiromitsu's artillery unit was twisted into a rope and advanced together, the Eighth Route Army would have no chance at all. However, they still underestimated the enemy. A separated unit has no combat effectiveness, especially if it is not An artillery unit that focuses on melee combat!
Behind the mountain, I don't know what happened. Now, there are fewer screams and fewer firefights. Hiroko Hashimoto can climb to the top of the mountain to see what happened on the other side, but there are already people behind him. The cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army began to charge, how could he wait, so Hashimoto Hiromitsu could only grit his teeth: "Retreat back and beat the Eighth Route Army cavalry out!"
