Chapter 845: Hit and Run, What Can He Do to Me?
Zhou Weiguo glanced at Fang Shengli, whose eyes were bulging out, and then reached out to rub his forehead; "What's wrong? Are you scared or something?"
afraid?
Fang Shengli chuckled and tugged at his clothes, saying, "From the moment I put on this outfit, I've been prepared to die. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried that if our tanks can't keep up the advance speed on this road, we'll suffer heavy losses."
Seeing some hesitation among the men, Zhou Weiguo sighed and asked Kuroki Ichiro beside him, "In this weather, how many kilometers can our tanks advance without affecting their lifespan, such as without stalling or getting stuck in the mud?"
Ichiro Kuroki estimated and said, "I can guarantee there won't be any problems for thirty kilometers, but beyond that, or if the rain continues for two hours straight, then I can't guarantee it. After all, a little rain won't have much of an impact. The biggest worry is that the rain will get heavier and make the road completely wet. If a tank runs over it, within ten minutes, the road will be filled with gullies, making it difficult for tanks and trucks to pass."
"This rain shouldn't continue forever." Zhou Weiguo stretched out his hand to test it. The rain was heavy and he could feel the slight pain of the raindrops hitting his palm.
"Hit and run, what can he do to me?"
Wearing a black army green raincoat, Takeshita Shun used a telescope to look into the distance. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything in the pitch-black night. He put the telescope aside and said, "Lao Zhou, our tanks can't withstand too much tossing. I think we can wait until the rain stops before we start the operation..."
"No, we've already taken out their observation post. If we don't act quickly, they'll likely go on alert, and then we'll be out of luck." He pointed into the distance and said, "That's only a battalion. With the cover of tonight's rain, we can quickly eliminate them. Then, ten kilometers ahead, we'll reach the headquarters of the Hata Detachment. Since that's the headquarters, that means..."
"That's an untold fortune." Ono came over with a group of people from the quartermaster's office, carrying a backpack. "If we defeat the Hata detachment, we'll get a lot of supplies, some of which we know about and some of which we don't. We can't let this opportunity slip away. If we do, we'll regret it."
"Why are you here?" Zhou Weiguo didn't expect that when it came to fighting, he would hide in the back, but when it came to cleaning up the battlefield, the man who was faster than anyone else actually came to the front line in person. It was really strange."
"Bah..." Xiao Ye spat on the ground and said aggrievedly, "You think I wanted to come? It's because your lover insisted on it. Otherwise, why would I come here at this time?"
A good friend?
Zhou Weiguo frowned; "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why don't you come out? Do you want me to invite you in myself?" Xiao Ye turned his head and shouted, and everyone looked in the direction he turned his head. A man in a raincoat, whose face was not clearly visible, came out shyly.
Who is this?
Several people were confused about who this person could be.
"General Zhou, we meet again." Zhou Weiguo was startled by the familiar voice, and then he asked tentatively, "Wang Yun."
"I didn't expect that the general still remembered me. It's really my honor." Wang Yun lifted the hood of his raincoat, and a handsome face appeared in front of Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo quickly reached out and put the raincoat on her. "No, you're from the Central Daily News, back at the Hengyang branch editorial office. Why are you here on the front lines when you can stay in the editorial office?"
"Hey, hey, hey." Fang Shengli came between the two of them and asked, "Should we talk about the war first? Should we fight or not?"
Zhou Weiguo glanced at Wang Yun, then turned to Takeshita Shun. "I think you're already familiar with this circuitous route. Hurry up and lead a battalion ahead of them. We absolutely cannot let these people escape, otherwise we won't be able to launch a surprise attack on the Hata Detachment's headquarters."
Takeshita Shun nodded and waved his hand. The special forces battalion behind him, carrying machine guns, mortars, and other light weapons, followed him away. Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment; "I'll wait for you for half an hour. After half an hour, whether you reach the designated position or not, I will launch an attack."
Time ticked by, and the rain still didn't stop. Zhou Weiguo raised his wrist to check the time. The hands showed that there were two minutes left before the attack. He turned to look at Zhao Shoutian, who turned to the telephone operator next to him and said, "Connect to the artillery battalion."
Chen Jun from the artillery battalion had been waiting by the phone. When he heard the phone ring, he grabbed it and said, "Artillery battalion."
"This is Zhou Weiguo. In one minute, the artillery will launch a five-minute rapid-fire attack on the designated target. Quickly tow the artillery onto the truck and await the order to advance. Repeat."
"Yes, after five minutes of rapid fire, the artillery will be transferred to the tractor and await orders to advance."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jun put his hands on his hips and took out a cigarette out of habit. However, thinking about the weather today, he cursed and put the cigarette in his pocket and shouted loudly: "Get into position."
This was a routine slogan, but in fact the artillery had already entered the position and was waiting.
"Fix everything." Chen Jun issued a series of orders, confirming they were correct, and then ordered again: "Load the artillery, prepare for single-barrel, five-method rapid fire."
Bangdang...
The sound of shells being stuffed into the barrel and the sound of the breech block closing drowned out the sound of rain. After a burst of crisp sounds, the sound of rain could be heard again all over the ground.
Just when they were about to get it, a flash of light flashed by and the artilleryman's figure was frozen in the camera.
Chen Jun turned his head and looked towards the place where the flashing light came from. He found that there seemed to be two figures less than seven or eight meters away from him. He was sure that they were not enemies. If they were enemies, they should have been intercepted by the infantry.
He ignored it and raised the flag in his hand. Even though his soldiers couldn't see it at close range, he would never forget his duty.
"Prepare, release."
Boom boom boom... boom boom boom...
The field artillery deployed in front and behind roared in an instant, and the sound like thunder rang in her ears. Wang Yun was so scared that she almost dropped the camera in her hand. She thought that she was a person who had seen a lot of storms, so she came to the artillery battalion to take pictures of them at close range. After all, she did not take pictures of these people last time, and she must make up for it this time.
But who would have thought that when she took close-up photos of these people, they welcomed her arrival in a brand new way.
Is this a firework? It should be, after all, the flames from the artillery are orange-red. She took a deep breath, shuddered twice, then raised her camera again, earnestly capturing the busy soldiers amidst the flickering flames, the artillerymen silently clearing the way for the infantry ahead.
