Chapter 211 I almost got into trouble, those damn puppet soldiers are nothing! 3-word chapter!
Lin Zhenhua arrived at the artillery battalion's position, feeling very conflicted. He did not expect that General Bella did not provide artillery observation and aiming equipment. If he observed with the naked eye, he would not be able to effectively bombard the target. In desperation, he could only resort to manual observation.
"Zhu Zi, follow my orders and fire. I never thought General Bella would be so shameless that he didn't even provide the most important sighting equipment. It seems that he must have reached a deal with the Japanese, otherwise he wouldn't have missed out such an important sighting equipment!"
In fact, Lin Zhenhua really wronged General Bella in this matter. The reason why he did not provide the observation and aiming equipment was mainly that the two sets of artillery observation and aiming equipment were damaged during transportation and could not be delivered at all. In addition, the Japanese later learned about the transaction between the two parties. General Bella had no choice but to let the matter go. After all, he could not betray his ally, and the other party had already produced evidence. This inadvertently pitted Lin Zhenhua!
"College student, the distance is too far. It is difficult to determine the exact position of the target with the naked eye. The error is too big. If we fight with the Japanese, we will suffer a great loss. I think it is better to be cautious. Let's withdraw all our heavy artillery first. Even if we don't withdraw all of them, we can only leave one or two to support the situation. We can say that we are not prepared at all now. We might as well wait and see!" Wang Chengzhu advised earnestly.
Lin Zhenhua felt that this behavior was indeed very risky, but now, the independent regiment had no other choice but to use this method to test whether those ordinary people were real or fake. For a while, Lin Zhenhua was under great pressure and fell into a dilemma.
Suddenly, Lin Zhenhua remembered that he had not signed in today. He silently said "sign in" in his mind, and the pleasant reminder sound of the system rang in his mind.
"Ding Dong, the system has signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward, a piece of artillery precision sighting equipment!"
Lin Zhenhua had not expected that the system's reward would be this. He almost jumped up with excitement and ordered in a hurried tone: "Zhu Zi, wait for me for a moment. I'll go get the sighting device I made earlier and see if it can be used. At this time, we can only try our best. No one is allowed to fire before I give the order!"
As soon as Lin Zhenhua finished speaking, he hurriedly got into the cab of the truck and drove towards his residence. Wang Chengzhu was a little confused for a moment. He didn't remember that Lin Zhenhua had a set of observation and aiming equipment. However, he remembered that Lin Zhenhua had always taken out good things at critical moments before, and he was afraid that this time would be no exception, which made him even more expectant.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had been waiting for the artillery battalion to fire, but after waiting for 20 minutes, there was still no movement. They both felt that they could not wait any longer as the Japanese had already started having breakfast and would probably launch an attack soon. If they delayed any further, something big would happen!
When the two arrived at the artillery camp, they did not see Lin Zhenhua. Instead, they saw Wang Chengzhu pacing back and forth nervously. Li Yunlong immediately scolded him, "Zhuzi, why the hell don't you fire yet? Where did the college students go? Why are there no one there? What the hell are you two doing? You are still trying to play tricks on me at this time. I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with you. Hurry up and fire, it will be too late!"
Zhao Gang also questioned with a sullen face: "Captain Wang, the order to fire has been issued for 15 minutes. Why didn't your artillery battalion execute the order? Do you still want to be the battalion commander?"
Wang Chengzhu replied with a wry smile: "Commander, Political Commissar, it's not that we don't want to fire, it's that there is a big problem here in the artillery battalion. We were so busy thinking about the artillery that we forgot about the sighting and ranging device for the artillery. Without the help of that device, we have no way to fire. The distance between the two sides is too far, and we can't solve it by visual estimation at all!"
"This is also my fault. I have never used heavy artillery before and have no idea how to use it. I thought it was the same as our previous mortars. But when I got to the battlefield, I realized that our artillery battalion had no way to aim and no way to accurately bombard the Japanese. These hundreds of heavy artillery pieces have become nothing more than junk in our hands. It makes me angry just thinking about it!"
"Fortunately, the college student had made a set of sighting equipment before. He has gone back to get it. It is estimated that he will be back in ten minutes. Commander and Political Commissar, please wait a little longer. We don't need these ten minutes anyway. The Japanese haven't launched the attack yet, right?"
After listening to Wang Chengzhu's explanation, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also full of regret. They also had a great responsibility in this matter. In fact, the main reason was that they had never seen heavy artillery before and had no idea how to use it. If they were close, aiming was not a problem, but if they were far away, it would be really difficult. Now everything could only be solved by college students!
"Damn it, this general of the Third Reich is so dishonest that he doesn't even have a set of such important sighting and observation equipment. Next time I see him, I will give him a good scolding!" Yunlong cursed angrily.
Zhao Gang said with a worried look on his face: "Old Li, scolding is useless. All we can do now is to wait and hope that the college student's sighting equipment can be used. Otherwise, the heavy artillery we have high hopes for will really become a sitting duck for the devils. Even with the protection of anti-artillery fortifications, the loss is estimated to be not small!"
No one expected that the good situation would take a sudden turn for the worse. Everything had been developing in a favorable direction for the Independent Regiment, but since the incident with Ma Xiaotian, the situation of the Independent Regiment became difficult.
Lin Zhenhua secretly took out the artillery sighting equipment from the system. He didn't expect that this set of sighting equipment was so heavy. Fortunately, when he took it out of the system, he put it directly in the co-pilot seat, and put some quilts underneath to prevent damage due to bumps on the way.
It took less than 40 minutes for Lin Zhenhua to return to the front line of the artillery battalion. When he saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, he did not greet them, but hurriedly urged them: "Heshang, Duan Peng, the two of you come over and help, unload the artillery sighting equipment in the co-pilot's seat!"
Wei Heshang and Duan Peng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly opened the car door. After Lin Zhenhua repeatedly reminded them to be careful, they placed the artillery sighting equipment in the designated place. Lin Zhenhua immediately opened the box, took out the sighting equipment, called Wang Chengzhu to help, and it took nearly ten minutes to assemble it. After adjusting the angle and direction, the picture in the distance was clearly visible. Lin Zhenhua was relieved. What made him even more excited was that he found the flaws of those fake civilians. He said excitedly: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, come and have a look. This time I really didn't guess wrong. Those civilians were the devils and puppet soldiers in disguise!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard Lin Zhenhua's shout and immediately ran forward to check. Lin Zhenhua immediately made way for him. Li Yunlong took the lead in watching. When he saw the scene in the distance, his nose was almost crooked with anger. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, the damn Japanese devils are so damn cunning. I thought the college student's guess was so damn accurate. It was obvious that the puppet soldiers were pretending to be the men, and the Japanese devils were pretending to be the women among the common people. I almost got fooled today. It was definitely the puppet soldiers' idea. I didn't expect that these damn puppet soldiers would be so cruel to their own people!"
Li Yunlong made way, and Zhao Gang hurriedly looked over. This time he was also surprisingly angry and couldn't help cursing: "College student, Lao Li, these damn puppet troops and devils are too insidious and cunning. I just looked at their number, roughly around a thousand. If we let them in, our independent regiment won't have to fight this battle. The first line of defense can't even be held for a day, and the second line of defense is useless. Once the first line of defense is breached, our independent regiment will have no choice but to break through, and the people in the base will also be persecuted by the devils!"
Lin Zhenhua was not as angry as before. He said with a serious face: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, I think this is our foundation. The Japanese must think we have been fooled. After all, they are only about three kilometers away from our frontline position. If they are a little closer, the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns can directly fire shells into the crowd. The real minefield is about two kilometers away from our frontline position, which is exactly within the artillery range of the Type 92 infantry guns. This time we will use a trick on the Japanese. After they fall into the firing range of the Type 92 infantry guns, we will give the Japanese a ruthless move and directly cover them with artillery fire!"
"We now have 12 Type 75 infantry guns and 168 75mm mountain guns. This time, the artillery battalion has mobilized a total of 60 Type infantry guns and mm mountain guns, which are fully capable of completing a comprehensive bombardment of the Japanese!"
"Don't mention that we still have 60 and 81 mm mortars in our hands, which can also be put to use. It will definitely be enough to give the Japanese a hard time!"
Li Yunlong felt that Lin Zhenghua's idea was just what he wanted, and he smiled and praised: "College student, you always come up with some new tricks for me. The Japanese wanted to play a trick on us, but you turned the tables on them. This time we really have to teach the Japanese a good lesson and let them know that our independent regiment is not so easy to fool. If the Japanese want to fool us, they'd better wait until next life!"
Zhao Gang also agreed with a smile on his face: "We really need to teach the Japanese a lesson on this matter. Since the Japanese are giving us heads for free, we can't refuse them. We should just accept their gifts!"
"I just took a close look. There are half puppet troops and half Japanese soldiers in there. Let's give the Japanese soldiers a blanket bombardment. We can't say that we can kill all of them, but at least killing 60% of them shouldn't be a problem. Once the battle starts, we can directly kill a squadron of Japanese soldiers, which will also be a big blow to the Japanese Second Mixed Brigade. More importantly, it can weaken the morale of some Japanese soldiers, and the next battle may be easier to fight!"
