Chapter 266: The Takeuchi United Suffers Heavy Losses

Arriving near the Japanese artillery camp, Lu Cheng quietly went into the bushes nearby and took out two British mortars in the dark. He adjusted the position and aimed at the Japanese command post.

Just as the Japanese artillery aimed at the hilltop position and fired the first round of shells, Lu Cheng immediately stuffed two mortar shells into the gun barrel. The two shells drew a graceful arc and landed accurately on the Japanese command post.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng put away the mortar and ran behind the Japanese artillery position while throwing grenades frantically.

Hundreds of grenades with the pins pulled out were quickly thrown near the Japanese 105mm howitzers and 75 mountain guns. Some were thrown directly into the ammunition boxes, and more were thrown at the feet of the artillerymen.

Boom boom boom. The sounds of explosions rang out one after another, immediately causing a chain explosion. More than half of the Japanese's six 105mm howitzers and 75 mountain cannons were destroyed in an instant.

While the Japanese were in chaos, Lu Cheng took the opportunity to throw some explosive packs at the heavy mortar position, and then turned around and retreated.

Soon, the entire Japanese military camp fell into chaos, and a large number of Japanese soldiers immediately chased in the direction of Lu Cheng.

While Lu Cheng was retreating at an inhuman speed, he would turn back from time to time to fight back and kill the Japanese who were chasing him closely.

But this group of Japanese devils seemed to be crazy. They didn't care about death at all and chased Lu Cheng frantically.

During the retreat, Lu Cheng quickly took off his Japanese military uniform, revealing the Chinese military uniform underneath.

Soon, Lu Cheng arrived near the place where the commandos were ambushing. The Japanese soldiers who were chasing him were immediately suppressed by dozens of submachine guns, leaving behind a large number of corpses.

Immediately afterwards, the commandos fought and retreated at the same time, evacuating quickly and rhythmically.

These fifty commandos were the more agile ones selected from hundreds of commandos. They would change positions immediately after firing a burst of bullets. Even the Japanese grenade launchers could not do anything to them and could not catch up with them at all.

On the Nantian Gate, Long Wenjian looked at the chaotic scene below and couldn't help laughing: "See? The Japanese artillery was also blown up by our battalion commander. Judging from the noise, the losses must be huge."

Meng Fanle took a telescope and looked at the center of the Japanese army camp: "The inside of the Japanese army was also bombed. Looking at this chaotic scene, could it be that our camp blew up the Japanese headquarters?"

"You sound quite similar. Let me take a look. I just wonder how many officers were killed in the explosion..."

"Let me see, let me see..."

A group of veterans had just escaped the first round of artillery fire from the Japanese when they heard explosions one after another below the mountain. They hurried out to check and saw the chaotic scene below the mountain. They couldn't help but laugh.

"Tell me, is there anything our battalion commander dare not do?"

"I'm afraid not. I bet that even if there is a division of the devils down there, our battalion commander would dare to go and give it a try."

"I agree with this."

The gunfire at the foot of the mountain never stopped. The Japanese kept chasing Lu Cheng and the commandos. Even though they suffered heavy losses, they did not give up.

Lu Cheng and the commandos also led the Japanese to circle around continuously, making full use of the surrounding jungle terrain and constantly eliminating the Japanese who were chasing them.

In fact, with the speed of Lu Cheng and his men, they could easily shake off this group of Japanese devils and return to the Nantianmen position smoothly, but in order to kill as many Japanese devils as possible, Lu Cheng led them around in circles.

Lu Cheng didn't order his commandos to return until they were tired of running.

After letting the commandos return to the top of the mountain, Lu Cheng went alone and went around from another direction to a high ground outside the Japanese army camp. He took out two 3.7-inch field howitzers and aimed them at the storage location of the Japanese poison gas bombs that had been detected previously.

Afterwards, they loaded two field howitzers with shells, pulled the ropes quickly, and fired two shots in succession. The Japanese army camp, which had just calmed down, instantly fell into chaos again. Some yellow smoke rose up in the dark night. Countless Japanese soldiers hurried away, and the entire Japanese army camp was forced to disperse.

After firing two shots, Lu Cheng immediately packed up the two howitzers and turned away.

Immediately afterwards, several mortar shells landed at the place where Lu Cheng had fired before.

At this time, Lu Cheng had moved to another place, took out a 98K sniper rifle, and fired several shots at the Japanese in the military camp below. After killing several Japanese, he immediately moved to another place, took out a Lee Enfield sniper rifle, and continued shooting.

As the distance from the Japanese army camp got farther and farther, Lu Cheng took out the MK50 sniper rifle and continued to snipe the Japanese from a long distance.

This epoch-making sniper rifle has an effective range of up to 3000 meters, which is difficult to reach even with the Japanese mortars. Even mortars with a maximum range of over 3000 meters have poor accuracy at long distances. In addition, Lu Cheng has the ability to receive early warning of gunfire, so he has plenty of time to dodge.

"Bang bang bang" In just one or two hours, Lu Cheng sniped at least seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers. In order to avoid snipers, the Japanese soldiers turned off the lights, turned off the fire, and looked for cover everywhere, looking for the direction where the gunshots came from.

The sniper rifle in Lu Cheng's hand has built-in infrared sensor and night vision goggles. Even in pitch darkness, he can still accurately snipe every enemy, leaving the Japanese with nowhere to escape.

After sniping and killing hundreds of Japanese soldiers, Lu Cheng put away his sniper rifle, stood up and returned to Nantianmen.

After a day and a night of hard work, although Lu Cheng still had some strength left, the constant tense mental state still made him feel a little tired.

As soon as Lu Cheng returned to the position, Long Wenjian and others came over and said, "Commander-in-chief, there are guns and artillery fire down there, and it has not stopped. Can you tell us how you fight?"

"I can't tell you this. When we return to the East Coast, I plan to select the most elite soldiers, form a special operations team, and teach them all kinds of unique skills. Just wait."

Just as they finished talking, Lu Cheng suddenly noticed patches of red areas appearing on the front line, and he quickly gave the order: "Defend against the artillery!"

Immediately afterwards, some mortar shells were seen falling in front of the position, mixed with one or two anti-tank gun and howitzer shells.

Everyone hid in the cat ear cave, listening to the sound of artillery fire outside and judging the number of remaining artillery pieces of the Japanese.

"From the noise, the Japanese soldiers down the mountain only have one or two howitzers, two or three anti-tank guns, and about seven or eight heavy mortars. The rest are just some small guns."

"This devil's artillery is basically useless. It's really exciting."

"Do you think the Japanese have gone crazy? The shells are fired so densely, as if they are free."

"Maybe the battalion commander hurt them."

In fact, the expeditionary soldiers on the position did not know at that time that after a series of battles, night attacks, sneak attacks, pursuit battles, and sniper battles, one third of the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers in a regiment at the foot of the mountain had been killed or wounded.

Especially the two shells that Lu Cheng fired at the Japanese headquarters killed the deputy commander Tachibana Kiyoshi on the spot, but the commander Takeuchi Renzan was not there at the time, so he escaped. There were also three or four Japanese majors who were blown back to their hometowns with Tachibana Kiyoshi.

The Takeuchi United had never suffered such a devastating defeat since entering the war.

If his subordinates hadn't stopped him, Takeuchi Renzan would have almost led the charge himself...
