Ma Siyuan said: "It must have flown over the Japs' heads, but it's hard to say where they landed. So you must hit those napalm bombs in the air and let them explode in the air. Otherwise, those things may fall on our own positions."
Chang Ran shivered subconsciously when he thought of the scene where the enhanced napalm bombs thrown by large trebuchets exploded on his own position. The destructive power of those things is much more disgusting than ordinary bombs. If it really fell on his head, there might be many casualties.
Song Yumo said with certainty: "Don't worry, our sniper squadron can definitely hit those napalm bombs. But we need to determine which trebuchet each sniper is responsible for hitting the napalm bombs thrown by, otherwise there may be leaks." Drops happen.¡±
Ma Siyuan got Song Yumo¡¯s affirmative answer and felt confident.
If these large trebuchets can be put into actual combat in advance, in this narrow valley terrain, their role will definitely be more effective than the bombardment of the artillery regiment.
"Then there will be no problem. The artillery regiment will also cooperate with us to fight. Coupled with the final impact of the cavalry regiment, this Japanese army will definitely be completely defeated by us tomorrow." Ma Siyuan said confidently.
For the Japanese troops who were besieged in Guanhegou, this night was very painful. They didn't fall asleep in the first half of the night.
Because above their heads, enemy snipers kept killing them through night vision equipment. This made them cry without tears, and some Japanese soldiers even broke down and cried.
It¡¯s like Russian roulette, you never know if there will be a bullet fired when you pull the trigger.
The Japanese army was on tenterhooks for most of the night. In the latter half of the night, the sniper squadron was called over by Song Yumo for a meeting to discuss tomorrow's battle.
Without the killings of these snipers, the Japanese army finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half of the night, two hundred Japanese soldiers were dead or disabled. No matter where they were lying in the valley, the screams of their wounded comrades could reach the ears of these Japanese soldiers.
Shimozuo Yi has learned through telegrams that they only need to support until night at most, and the mountain artillery unit of the main division will be able to provide them with fire support. Moreover, the main force of the Ninth Division will also arrive at Cangyun Peak.
By then, the small Cangyun Peak will be nothing more than a small stumbling block and will be kicked away. As long as Cangyun Peak is captured, the second division here will be able to defeat the siege of the main force of the third mixed brigade.
??For Shimojing Zuoyi, with the three thousand soldiers in the valley and the two thousand people on the two wings, it is not too difficult to hold on until night.
¡°But Shimoi Zuoichi¡¯s speculation is still based on the enemy¡¯s combat capabilities, which will not be stronger than the Japanese first-class division with the same number of people. But the current situation is that, with the help of various advanced weapons and equipment, as well as combat concepts, the mountain warfare capabilities of the Second Division troops besieging them are far stronger than those of the Japanese first-class divisions of the same number.
When Shimozuo started to deploy defenses in the valley, he had temporarily given up on breaking out. Rather than risking greater casualties, waiting patiently for reinforcements is a wise choice.
While Xiajing Zuoyi was setting up defenses, Ma Siyuan was also mobilizing all the resources and forces he could mobilize, trying every means to completely eliminate the main force of the Japanese third mixed brigade in Guanhe ditch.
In yesterday¡¯s day and night battles, the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade suffered heavy casualties.
More than 3,000 people who originally entered Guanhe Valley have suffered more than 400 casualties. At this time, only more than 2,700 people are still capable of combat.
After excluding those who took care of the wounded and those who were responsible for logistics, only about 2,500 people were left who could actually participate in the battle.
On both sides of Guanhe ditch, ten huge trebuchets are undergoing intense assembly work.
These trebuchets were tested only some time ago. As a result, the testing was not completed until the war with the Japanese army began.
Until now, the landing point of this trebuchet has not been well solved. Where it lands depends on fate. But what Xia Yang needed was a trebuchet that could accurately throw napalm bombs on the heads of the Japanese troops. Although these large trebuchets looked awesome, they could not meet the standards.
However, Ma Siyuan came up with a reverse thought, thinking that since he didn¡¯t know where it would land, it would be better to detonate it directly on top of the enemy¡¯s head before it completely landed.It¡¯s over.
Those napalm bombs will be ignited when they encounter sparks. Once ignited, the napalm will expand rapidly in the small body of the projectile and explode directly. The explosion will then spread the ignited napalm to every corner of the battlefield.
By then those Japanese soldiers will see what a "flying bolide" is. But seeing this spectacle also means that the God of Death is coming to harvest their lives.
On the hillside not far below each trebuchet, there is a dedicated sniper.
What these snipers want to do is not to kill the Japanese troops below, but to pull the trigger to detonate the gasoline bombs directly when the enhanced gasoline bombs are thrown over the heads of the Japanese troops.
For all this, the Japanese troops below did not know yet.
They were a little bit surprised. Where was the sniper who kept harassing them and making them fearful last night?
These Japanese soldiers thought that 80% of the snipers were tired and needed a rest. So they began to take advantage of this period and seize the time to eat.
In the early morning, the Japanese army probably used the stones in the river ditch to pile up some machine gun positions to resist possible infantry attacks from the mountains on both sides. At the same time, these machine gun positions can also block enemies arriving at the entrance and exit of the valley.
If the enemy wants to use cavalry to attack, then these machine gun positions will become a sickle to harvest the lives of the cavalry. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
