Chapter 45: A Business Deal Delivered to the Doorstep (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The next day!

The sky had just begun to brighten, and the dim light was just enough to make out human figures.

Yu Hua was on the third floor of the Western-style house, raising his Telescope to observe the Japanese soldiers on the Field Position.

The little devils were hiding in the trenches, gathered together in twos and threes.

Yu Hua also knew that this group of little devils was aware that the Republic of China Army lacked artillery fire.

That was why they dared to gather together so unscrupulously.

Looking at so many little devils, Yu Hua grinned and sneered.

The Field Position was about six or seven hundred meters from the front edge of the city district.

However, for the Central Army, which lacked artillery, having one Type 41 Mountain Gun in the unit was a rarity.

After calculating, Yu Dazhu began to report the coordinates.

"Dazhu!"

"You had such a good piece of equipment, you should have told me sooner!"

Sixth Brigade, Fujii Suekichi Regiment.

As an old artilleryman, without professional equipment for observation.

Commander-in-Chief of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, General Matsui Iwane, was very satisfied with the Sixth Brigade's speed of advance.

Yang Jun, who was enforcing martial law in the rear, heard Yu Hua calling him and immediately said, "Yes!"

The rest is just a matter of practice!

"Then blast the hell out of them for me!"

Yu Dazhu had excellent eyesight, even without a Telescope.

"Sigh!"

Before long, Yu Dazhu arrived with his Mortar company.

Yang Jun brought a few soldiers, leading two mules to pull the Type 41 Mountain Gun up.

In the eyes of the devils, this gun was already somewhat outdated.

This showed that this Type 41 Mountain Gun was as if it had just come off the assembly line.

"Report to the Company Commander, I have finished training and can fire at any time."

"Company Commander, if our troops advance into the Field Position."

"The devil's antenna can be seen very clearly."

An Artillery Battalion consists of 12 75mm Shanghai-made Mountain Guns.

"We still have artillery, we can definitely do it!"

It was just that the range of this Shanghai-made Mountain Gun was only 4000 meters.

In the Sichuan Army ranks, there was actually a piece of heavy artillery.

An antenna had actually been erected there!

In an instant, Yu Hua's eyes lit up, "Good heavens, this is a business deal delivered to my doorstep!"

Saying this, Yu Dazhu closed his left eye and held up his thumb.

"Company Commander, where is the artillery?"

Yu Hua waved his hand, "Recapturing the Field Position would cause too many losses to the troops."

Whether in terms of precision or range, it was far inferior to the little devils' Type 41 Mountain Gun.

Yu Dazhu had been half-squatting, but upon hearing Yu Hua say there was more artillery.

Today, the Field Position outside Dunwu Temple city had already been occupied by the Sixth Brigade.

"Sight scale 517, elevation angle 48 degrees 53 minutes, direction right 009."

If they could take out the devil's command post.

"Order the Fujii Suekichi Regiment Commander!"

This would definitely cause a wave of chaos among the devils.

After receiving the Brigade Commander's order, Fujii Suekichi immediately mobilized the devils on the Field Position.

"An antenna is erected on the small hill; there must be a devil's command post here."

Hearing this, Yu Dazhu still felt a bit regretful.

"Dayong!"

Just as Yu Hua was about to call Yu Dazhu, his Telescope suddenly caught sight of a small hill opposite.

The 1st Regiment's six Mortars were all still usable.

Tell them to hurry up and eat breakfast!

How on earth did he get this piece of artillery!

Yu Hua waved his hand, "Don't you worry about how I got it."

"After finishing breakfast, immediately launch an attack on the Dunwusi City District."

That was seen even more clearly!

"Company Commander, I see it!"

He discovered the small hill the Company Commander mentioned, and was now observing it with the Telescope in his hand.

"After all, I am the Company Commander, and the whole company must listen to me."

"The distance is too far, our Mortars can't reach it."

Yu Hua said, "Dazhu, can you fire a shot to blast them?"

He jumped straight up: "There's more artillery?"

Watching Yu Dazhu's excited expression, Yu Hua shouted loudly: "Yang Jun, hurry and pull the 75 mm Mountain Gun up here."

After reporting the coordinates, Yu Dazhu saw a gunner who was swaying unsteadily.

Yu Dazhu suddenly became interested; his own Company Commander was from the Sichuan Army.

"Elevation zero, charge number three, five rounds rapid fire."

The Songhu Battlefield had fallen into a state of stalemate.

Yu Dazhu came before Yu Hua and saluted: "Artilleryman Yu Dazhu reporting to you, please give instructions!"

"Let me see!!"

"Company Commander!"

Very quickly!

"Dazhu, come, come, come!" Yu Hua pointed his finger at the location where he had discovered the antenna, "See that small hill?"

He immediately trotted to Yu Hua's front, "Company Commander!"

"This command post is likely at the Regiment level; it's a bit of a pity."

On the artillery piece, there was still a faint scent of oil.

Along the way, the Sichuan Army soldiers saw this Mountain Gun.

Yu Dazhu took off his cloth shoe, opened his right eye, and closed his left eye.

"Hai!" The Japanese Communications Soldier nodded heavily, then conveyed the order to the 35th Regiment.

The Type 41 Mountain Gun—Yu Dazhu could not be more familiar with it.

"Company Commander!"

It was at least a Regiment-level command post.

He placed his thumb in front of his open right eye!

Seven or eight seconds later, Yu Dazhu waved his hand, "Company Commander!"

Stroking the long and thick gun barrel, smooth and satisfying, Yu Dazhu grinned and said: "Company Commander!"

Yu Hua had already given the order; Yu Dazhu held his head high and chest out, and saluted!

"Yes!"

"Listen to my command!"

He placed the cloth shoe in front of his right eye.

The artillerymen of the Mortar platoon now also understood the basic operations.

In the eyes of Akiyama Yoshiyuki, the Sichuan Army was merely putting up a desperate struggle.

"Company Commander!" Lowering the Telescope, Yu Dazhu grinned: "I must estimate the distance first!"

"Yes!" Yu Dazhu stood at attention: "Please give instructions, Company Commander."

"Yes!" Wei Dayong ran toward the back nimbly.

"Today, I hope the Sixth Brigade will fully occupy Dunwu Temple and completely crush the enemy's defensive line!"

A volley from six guns could also take out a batch of little devils.

It was also a very prestigious thing to talk about!

After all, for the Central Army, every Division was organized with an Artillery Battalion.

After deciding to use the Type 41 Mountain Gun for shelling, Yu Hua immediately conducted simple training for his Mortar platoon.

After finishing breakfast, the Japanese soldiers waited for the Regiment Commander's lecture.

Yu Dazhu, with eyes shining, headed straight for this Mountain Gun, as if he had seen a beauty.

Yang Jun had only found out last night.

"This gun is enough to hit the devil's command post!"

Akiyama Yoshiyuki looked at the sky; the brightness was already sufficient.

Fighting Urban Warfare!

The Imperial Army had never been afraid.

"Tell his regiment to hurry up and eat breakfast."

"You go and call Yu Dazhu for me." Yu Hua put down the Telescope in his hand, "Remember to tell him to bring the Mortar."

Saying this, Yu Hua handed his Telescope to Yu Dazhu again.

At present, there were still remnants of the Sichuan Army holding out in the city.

"If we can take it out, that would be great."

Yu Hua, who was to the side, saw that Yu Dazhu was somewhat disappointed, and he grinned.

An antenna erected on that small hill—this was definitely the little devil's command post.

At this moment!

That small hill discovered by Yu Hua.

This 75 mm Type 41 Mountain Gun of the 1st Regiment had been hidden very well by Xiang Wenbin.

Their eyes were all rounded; this gun was long and thick.

"Where did you get this Type 41 Mountain Gun?"

In the urban area, Yu Dazhu ran to Yu Hua's position at this time.

The Japanese logistics supply was relatively difficult.

The little devils only ate a few rice balls in the morning.

One look and you knew it was a big guy!

Watching the Mountain Gun being dragged up from behind, Yu Dazhu's eyes went straight.

"Set up the mortar, we'll surely be able to blast the hell out of them!"

Wei Dayong, who was crouching in the back, heard Yu Hua's voice.

Being very unfamiliar with the operation of this cannon, he stepped forward and shoved the gunner aside.

He took over personally!
