Chapter 167 Bombing the Japanese 3rd Regiment
Two minutes ago.
After pressing the launch button, Bai Luo ignored the dust kicked up by the rocket's exhaust and quickly ran to the Tulip mortar, preparing to fire a follow-up shot with the Tulip.
But it was soon discovered that it was unnecessary.
Monitoring radar revealed that the Japanese troops were almost entirely wiped out by this wave of terrifyingly powerful high-explosive incendiary bombs, and that it was truly not worthwhile to bombard the few remaining Japanese soldiers with tulips.
The route the Japanese soldiers took was also blocked by the previous rocket explosions, especially the last truck, which was probably carrying shells from the Japanese artillery.
The direct impact of the rocket triggered a larger secondary explosion.
This resulted in the last 300 meters of the Japanese convoy becoming a dead zone.
Looking through the binoculars, Bai Luo couldn't see even a single intact Japanese soldier's corpse.
The place where the most Japanese soldiers survived was actually the first eight transport trucks.
As for the Japanese infantry units running forward in the middle, they were all burned into charred remains by the high temperature of the incendiary bombs.
Once the view below became a little clearer, Silly Girl pressed the Gatling gun's fire button.
The Gatling gun's explosive gunfire instantly echoed across the unnamed hillside.
The target was eight Japanese troop transport vehicles ahead.
Seeing that the tulips were useless, Bai Luo took out his Barrett rifle and lay down on the edge of the earthen slope to help the silly girl fill in the gaps.
Just as I set up the Barrett, I saw a half-dead Japanese soldier crawling toward the roadside. Judging from his rank, he was a Japanese lieutenant colonel.
Bai Luo wasn't about to let this go, so he fired a shot right away.
"Boom."
After the loud gunfire, a large hole appeared behind the Japanese lieutenant colonel who was crawling on the ground like a toad.
The Barrett's immense kinetic energy allowed the Japanese lieutenant colonel to pass away peacefully, though collecting his remains might be a bit of a hassle.
Less than a minute later, Silly Girl also stopped shooting; she could no longer see any living Japanese soldiers.
With the help of the monitoring radar, Bai Luo began to quickly identify and fill any gaps, pulling the trigger at a rate of one shot every two seconds.
Those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape two calamities never managed to escape a third after encountering the seemingly invincible Bai Luo.
Whether they're hiding behind a car or crawling into the dry grass by the roadside, under Bai Luo's monitoring radar, it's no different from them standing in an open space.
It took nearly 5 minutes for Bai Luo to empty at least a dozen magazines, and Silly Bear had already sat down next to Bai Luo to load the bullets.
After a morning of training on the Yunling Highlands, Silly Bear is now a skilled worker.
There have been no more incidents of magazines being smashed.
After clearing out the remaining Japanese soldiers.
Bai Luo quickly got up and was about to pack his things to go down to check if the three Japanese Type 92 infantry guns mounted on the first few trucks were broken.
Bai Luo suddenly thought of a problem: he could easily plow through the Japanese positions opposite the Yunling positions right here.
Both artillery vehicles have sufficient range.
Without hesitation, Bai Luo directly exchanged rockets from the system shop and refilled the rocket vehicle's launch tubes.
Then the tulip cannon barrel was turned in a different direction.
Before Tulip could deploy its forces, Bai Luo took the lead in inputting the coordinates of the Japanese soldiers in Yunling into Tulip's vehicle computer.
Thinking to myself that this was cheap, I could fire a few more shots.
High-explosive incendiary bombs were also chosen.
Once the coordinates were locked, Bai Luo pressed the launch button.
With a loud "bang," Bai Luo felt the ground beneath his feet tremble as the distinctive firing sound of a tulip mortar rang out.
The tulip mortar that had just fired began its automatic reloading, preparing to load the next shell.
Bai Luo had already climbed into the driver's cab of the Eagle 400 rocket launcher.
30 seconds later.
The familiar "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." sound of rockets being launched rang out once again on this unnamed earthen slope.
Just over 10 minutes earlier, the loud explosion of Japanese artillery shells had also attracted the attention of both the Japanese and the Communist Party.
Sakata Tetsu felt a slight tremor in the ground and heard an explosion in the distance, so he immediately came out of the temporary command post.
Raising his binoculars to look in the direction of the sound, he found it was coming from the direction of Hara City. Sakata Tetsu didn't see the specifics, but plumes of black smoke were rising from the distant sky.
Sakata Tetsu put down his binoculars and spoke to the man beside him, Pu Youji.
"Hey, what do you think happened with that explosion over there?"
Pu Youji looked at the place where black smoke was rising in the distance and thought for a while.
"There are no of our troops there, but this direction leads to Yuan City. Could it be that our reinforcements have been blocked?"
Pu Youji Er shared his guess.
Sakata Tetsuya thought it was impossible after hearing what Pu Youji said.
"The Red Army troops are all within our encirclement; it's impossible for them to engage in combat with the support troops?"
After hearing that his guess had been refuted by Sakata Tetsuya, Puyou Jiji also felt that it made sense.
The Red Party's troops were indeed all within their encirclement.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to me.
"Commander, do you think it might be Blue Party troops? The explosion was so loud; it couldn't have been caused by fighting Red Party troops."
When Sakata Tetsu heard Pu Youji's guess, he was taken aback. Right, he had forgotten about the Blue Party.
The Blue Party has a very low profile in the western province. They stay within their own small territory and pose far less of a threat to the empire than the Red Party, which frequently stirs up trouble.
This led him to habitually forget about the Blue Party.
"Send a telegram to the reinforcement battalion to inquire about the situation and see if it matches our expectations. We need to see if the reinforcement troops are engaged in combat with the Blue Party. If the battle is at a stalemate, we will have no choice but to call for air support."
Feeling increasingly likely that the KMT was behind the trouble, Sakata Tetsu immediately gave an order to the ordinary postal worker next to him.
"Hi."
Puyou Ji'er immediately turned back to the command post and sent a telegram to the Mitsui Brigade that was providing support.
Sakata Tetsu raised his binoculars again, but this time he was observing the Red Party positions on the opposite Yunling Mountains.
Hiding behind the earthen slope, Sakata Shin surveyed the Red Party's positions, constantly pondering his attack plan after bombing the Red Party's positions.
Meanwhile, Li Yilong, stationed at the Yunling position, also heard the explosion coming from the direction of Yuanshi.
The relatively high elevation of the Red Party's position allowed Li Yilong to see more than Sakata Tetsu.
Not only did we see black smoke, but we also saw towering flames beneath the black smoke after the Japanese soldiers' suicide bombing.
"Zhang Biao, are there any of our own troops over there?"
After hearing Li Yilong's words, Zhang Biao withdrew his gaze from the black smoke in the sky.
"Commander, there are definitely no of our troops over there. But could that direction have been created by Japanese reinforcements?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yilong instinctively felt it was impossible. Who could the Japanese support troops possibly bomb from there? But the towering smoke indicated that a battle must have taken place at that location.
"Zhang Biao, send another soldier to scout ahead."
"Okay captain."
"Dog Egg, go run another errand and see if the Japanese reinforcements have been blocked?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing his battalion commander's order, Gou Dan, who was sitting in the trench, immediately ran towards the direction of Yuan City.
