"Then blow it up with cannons..." the captain immediately ordered.

"Mortars mainly kill and injure the enemy's physical strength. Although they cannot blow up trenches, they can kill people!"

"Let the artillery fire immediately to kill the Eighth Route Army who are firing cold shots at the demolition team. Go faster, otherwise the demolition team will be killed by the enemy!"

The Japanese gunner had just finished shooting the machine gun team, and had to rejoin the battle before he could even take a breath.

Compared with machine gun teams, cold-shooting sharpshooters are more difficult to deal with.

They are also wearing camouflage, lying on the ground, blending in with the surrounding environment!

After one shot, immediately move to the next position and continue shooting.

No matter how experienced the Japs observer was, he could only determine the approximate location of the sharpshooter through the sound of a gunshot, but could not pinpoint the specific target.

In this way, the Japanese artillery counterattack seemed to be particularly powerful, but the actual combat effect was very poor...

The shelling continued, and it was more difficult for sharpshooters to expose their targets under the cover of gunfire.

Each and every one of them was as if they had been given blood. When they caught the Japanese and puppet troops participating in the explosion, they pulled the trigger, hoping to kill them as early as possible and hold on to the trenches...

The more the Japanese captain looked at him, the more solemn his face became.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers in the demolition team who can still move, which shows that the artillery fire coverage currently being carried out has not achieved the intended bombardment effect, but has become the best cover for the Eighth Route Army.

"BaGeYaLu, we have been fooled!" The captain finally came to his senses and shouted while staring at the battlefield!

"Have the demolition team withdraw immediately..."

"The Eighth Route Army deployed sharpshooters on the battlefield to attack our demolition team..."

"They are too scattered and camouflaged, so it is difficult for our artillery fire coverage to hurt them!"

The adjutant also realized the danger and quickly issued an order to retreat.

However, out of a demolition team of more than 150 people, only 30 people returned safely, while the others all fell in the open space between the blockade and the trenches.

In the woods not far from the battlefield, Xiao Yuanchang witnessed more than 150 Japanese and puppet troops break out of the blockade, and only about 30 people returned.

The more than fifty Japs in the attacking force were almost completely wiped out, and only three or four of them withdrew to the blockade.

His eyes immediately widened, showing an expression of disbelief.

The New Second Regiment fought on the other side of the blockade for several days before killing four to five hundred Japanese puppet troops. This shows how difficult it is to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the blockade.

If the Independent Regiment followed their proposal and stormed the blockade, they would be able to kill hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in one night. Thank God.

Independent regiments will also pay a heavy price in the battle.

In contrast, Huang Yu's fighting style not only successfully killed more than 120 Japanese and puppet troops, but also caused very small casualties, almost negligible.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanchang finally understood why Huang Yu could grow from an ordinary soldier to a battalion-level cadre in a short period of time. He was also entrusted with important tasks by the regiment commander and served as the commander of several main battalions.

Except for his relatively junior qualifications, his commanding ability and overall outlook far surpassed his own.

Especially his ability to adapt to the battlefield, it would be an understatement to describe him as being beyond his reach.

Looking at Huang Yu's shocked expression, he sighed: "Consultant Huang..."

"The Japanese army's plot to blow up the trenches just now was shattered by us, and more than 120 soldiers were lost!"

"Do you think they will launch a second counterattack and continue to send troops to destroy our trenches?"

"If we could, we could kill hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in one day!"

Huang Yu replied with a wry smile: "The blasting will definitely continue, but the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely think of some countermeasures so that our sharpshooters will not be able to continue attacking the blasting team!"

"Leave half of the sharpshooters to continue to lurk on the battlefield, and the other half of the sharpshooters and machine gunners will be withdrawn."

"Then all the sixteen mortars equipped by our four battalions are set up, and artillery positions are arranged separately in squad units. Each artillery position is assigned an observer at the surrounding commanding heights!"

"No matter how the Japanese and puppet troops blast the trenches next, as long as the observers find the Japanese and puppet blasters and are sure to kill them, they don't need to ask me for instructions and can just fire!"

"But be sure to be prepared for air defense!"

"Each artillery squad can fire up to three rounds of artillery shells from the same position before moving. They must not be targeted by Japanese artillery or aircraft in the sky!"

"Our family's financial resources are weak. Whether it is military strength or firepower, it is not as good as the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade."

"If you want to seize the blockade, you can only use tricks, not fight head-on, let alone compete with the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Xiao Yuanchang was completely convinced by Huang Yu. He did not put forward any objections this time and gave orders after listening.
