Chapter 679: 2 150mm Howitzers
After killing the sentry, everyone else rushed into the barracks in various parts of the camp.
The Japanese soldier's neck was cut by the Allied Army's bayonet while he was still asleep.
Even the Japanese squadron leader could not escape the disaster.
Soon, the team took over the entire Japanese camp and immediately called the puppet army company commander.
When the puppet army company commander heard that the Japanese camp had been occupied, he thought he was dreaming.
However, before he could react, his home was completely surrounded by a company of allied forces.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out. He quickly surrendered and at the same time called his subordinates in various defensive positions and asked them to surrender.
Marshal Yuan asked the puppet army company commander to lead the team to guard the front position of Xincheng.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to Jiang Pu Daye.
Jiang Pu Daye has already reached the fork in the road and is continuing to advance towards the Fuxin Mine.
"Report, Xincheng, the Northern Alliance Army of Xincheng has captured it!"
A signalman ran over with a pale face and cold sweat, and handed the telegram to Jiang Pu Daye with trembling hands.
After reading the telegram, Jiang Pu Daye was so angry that he tore the paper into pieces.
"Bakayaloo, bakayaloo, are all the Xincheng soldiers dead? We didn't even hear a single shot, and they were taken over by someone!"
"Baga, everyone turn towards Xincheng!"
In anger, he could only lead his troops to Xincheng and was determined to take back Xincheng.
If he didn't take back Xincheng, even if he took back the rich gold mine, he would not have strong fortifications.
At that time, the troops from Xincheng, Feicuihe, and Zhacheng would besiege the Fuxin Mine from three directions.
He must die.
What's more, if he lost Xincheng, I'm afraid his superiors would ask him to commit suicide by disembowelment.
At the same time, Fu Yidao and others had successfully cleared the mines and crossed the minefield.
Although there are many mines buried in this minefield, there are more Japanese explosive packs. As for these things, as long as the circuits are connected properly and the detonator is used, they can be detonated, and their power is much greater than that of mines.
However, when the Japanese retreated, they did not have time to clean up the explosive packs and just took the detonators away.
In addition, Fu Yidao's team used mine detectors.
So, he clears the mines here very quickly.
The team was chasing quickly in tanks and with artillery.
The Japanese were moving very fast. Before Fu Yidao caught up with them, the frontmost Japanese were already more than 2,000 meters away from Xincheng.
The Japanese's 75mm field guns and 105mm howitzers frantically bombarded the front positions of Xincheng, covering the troops' advance and trying to recapture Xincheng in one go.
Because they brought out almost all the tanks and cannons in Xincheng.
There were only a few mortars left in Xincheng among the puppet army, and there was simply not enough artillery fire to engage in a gun-to-gun attack against them.
Moreover, the Japanese artillery used incendiary bombs.
The entire front position of Xincheng was a sea of fire everywhere. It was impossible to shoot or fire.
But they overlooked one thing.
Next to the Xincheng camp, there is an artillery camp.
Although he mobilized almost all the artillery in the artillery camp, he left behind two 150mm howitzers.
This is the Japanese Type 96 105mm howitzer.
Originally, he only had 75 field guns and 105 howitzers.
Just to protect the Fuxin Mine, he specifically asked the brigade commander for two 150mm howitzers.
It would be more accurate to say that he bought it with money rather than applying for it.
Because, in order to get these two 150mm howitzers, he gave the brigade commander a lot of gold bars.
Otherwise, the brigade commander would not have assigned two 150mm howitzers to him as the regiment commander.
After all, this thing has a long range, up to 11,900 meters.
But this thing is very bulky, weighing more than 2 tons.
When towing, a Type 98 six-ton crawler tractor is also needed, which is quite bulky.
The Type 98 six-ton crawler tractor also cost money to buy, and he was reluctant to do so, so after the cannon was delivered here, the Type 98 six-ton crawler tractor was driven away.
So, when he came out, he couldn't bring out such a bulky 150mm howitzer.
He had originally planned to get some 150 howitzers and tractors when he got more gold bars.
But he didn't expect that these two 150mm howitzers were now in Yuan Shuai's hands.
At this time, the marshal had already arrived at the artillery camp next door.
Of course, the Japs here were killed in their sleep.
"Boss, how come this cannon is bigger than ours!"
"What kind of cannon is this?"
"Nonsense, this is a 150mm howitzer! I've seen it before!"
"But I don't know how to use it!"
"You don't know how to use the cannon? Isn't this similar to the 105mm cannon?"
While the brothers were still about to discuss, Yuan Shuai rushed over happily, touched the iron thing, and couldn't stop smiling for a long time.
"What great stuff! I never thought the devils would be so polite to me and leave so many good treasures for me. How do you think I should thank them?"
Yuan Shuai's smile was quite evil.
"Thanks for nothing, just blow them up with artillery shells!"
"Yes, thank you with cannonballs!"
"Hahaha!"
The brothers broke out in a cold sweat.
Yuan Shuai didn't waste any time and quickly called the signalman over and personally contacted Bobcat using the radio.
All Lynx can provide here is the distance and direction of the Japanese from the city gate.
"Boss, map, map!"
At this time, a soldier searched the barracks and found a coordinate map for artillery bombardment.
The coordinates of various locations were marked on it, making it convenient for them to bombard them with artillery and thus defend the county.
Seeing this map, Yuan Shuai was extremely happy.
With this map, as long as Lynx could tell them the approximate location of the Japs, they would be able to bomb them with artillery. Then Lynx would just have to tell them the distance and direction of the deviation, and he would make corrections and hit the target.
"God help me, hahahaha, come, take action immediately... coordinates..."
Based on the information provided by Lynx, Yuan Shuai asked the soldiers to quickly adjust the direction and angle of the gun barrel, install the shells, and fire a shell.
At this time, the frontmost team of the Japanese was less than one thousand meters away from the city gate.
The tanks and the infantry advanced forward madly.
The puppet soldiers on the position were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies were covered in cold sweat and they were trembling all over, but no one opened fire.
But the Japs were rushing towards here with a lot of chatter.
Suddenly, a shell came whistling in the air, trailing flames and making a loud noise.
"Bakayaloo, it's a 150mm grenade! Hide, hide!"
Some Japanese officers heard the sound clearly, looked up at the whistling shells in the air, and roared loudly.
"boom!"
The shell flew down and exploded far away beside them, but it didn't hit the target, and didn't even injure a single Japanese soldier.
"Baga, I'm scared to death!"
"Luckily it was dark so they couldn't see where we were and couldn't aim at us!"
"Keep going, rush forward and take the front position!"
The Japanese soldiers and tanks continued to charge forward.
After a while, two shells whizzed in from the second round.
