Chapter 170: The Japanese counterattack

"Divisional commander! Japanese planes are coming! ”

"Inform the troops, do a good job of concealment! Don't fire"!

"Yes"!

"Inform the artillery units to move quickly to the forest for shelter"!

"Yes"!

Less than a minute after the order was issued, Japanese planes had already flown over the positions of the Dian Army and the 74th Army and began to bombard them fiercely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Heavy bombs fell from the sky, explosions roared throughout the position, and the smoke and dust almost turned day into night again!

At the same time, the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, the mountain artillery and field artillery in front of them all opened fire fiercely at this time, and shells whistled and smashed over.

If it weren't for the previous preparations, the current outcome would be extremely heavy casualties, in this regard, Wan Baobang categorically ordered: "After the artillery is transferred, aim at the river quickly, and once the Japanese army crosses the river, give me firepower to suppress it"!

"Yes"!

Just when the Japanese army launched an attack, Lu Hai and they also found that our army's firepower was completely suppressed and could no longer be deployed, and if the Japanese army took the opportunity to cross the river to launch a counterattack, it was difficult to say whether our army could defend it.

"What to do? Can we do something about it"? Zhao Jianying said.

"Yes! Let's go engage in their heavy artillery positions"!

"However, Haizhizhi reported that this time the Japanese army deliberately strengthened the defense, and the position of the heavy artillery position was enough for the strength of a squadron to defend, and it was surrounded by an attack force of the Japanese army, at least two squadrons, and it was tantamount to suicide for us to attack their heavy artillery position"! Zhao Jianying frowned.

Lu Hai frowned and said, "Then sneak into their base camp and blow up their ammunition depot!"

"Yes"!

"Report the position of the heavy artillery of the Japanese army to the division commander and let them use the heavy artillery"!

"Go"!

The shelling lasted for a whole hour, and the Japanese planes also lost all their bombs, and this wave of attacks caused the Dian army to lose more than 400 people, and the 74th Army lost more than 600 people.

Just after the Japanese planes ran out of ammunition and flew away, the Japanese artillery fire did not stop, and the 92 rifle guns on the forward positions continued to bombard the forward positions almost in a direct manner.

At this time, the battle line of nearly one brigade of the Japanese army was also opened, and they began to force their way across the Jin River and launched an attack on our army!

At this moment, Wan Baobang put down the telescope and resolutely ordered: "Order! All the artillerymen don't feel sorry for the ammunition, all of them will be sent out of the river"!

"Yes"!

A minute later, all the artillery on the top of the hill filled the few remaining shells into the breeches and began to bombard!

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

Some small wooden boats of the Japanese army that had just rushed to the middle of the river were suddenly torn to pieces by artillery fire, and some soldiers even prepared to force the crossing directly on foot; under the intensive artillery bombardment, the entire river surface was full of rising levels and dense flying shrapnel, and the Japanese troops were unable to move on the water, and the casualties were not small!

Also at this time, Yang Hongyuan and others categorically ordered the troops to enter the position and prepare for a counterattack!

Many soldiers hurriedly got out of the cat's ear holes, and a heavy machine gun was quickly lifted out and built on the forward position.

"Hey! Commander Wang, I'm Wan Baobang, how many shells do you have for your Krupp heavy artillery"? Wan Baobang called.

"There's still a base number or so, ready to launch a counterattack, what's wrong"? Wang Yaowu wondered.

"Our army's ammunition Krupp mountain artillery is insufficient, and the range of the Japanese army's heavy artillery is insufficient, can you let your artillery let me command, I promise to blow up the Japanese army's heavy artillery position"! Wan Baobang said.

Wang Yaowu's brows suddenly furrowed, the Krupp heavy artillery is the only and most powerful heavy weapon of the Chinese army, and now the Japanese army is preparing to suppress the Japanese army.

"The heavy artillery of the Japanese army is at least 10 kilometers away, how can you destroy it without a position"?

"Their heavy artillery is eighteen kilometers away from us, almost in the area of the Nanxun Railway, but I already know their location, and now only the Krupp mountain artillery can reach it, so I ask Commander Wang's permission." Wan Baobang said.

Wang Yaowu frowned, if he didn't deal with the heavy artillery of the Japanese army at the moment, the soldiers' losses would be greater, and it was better to be bold than to be cautious, but for the sake of prudence, Wang Yaowu still said: "How sure are you?"

"Sixty percent"!

"Good! I give you the command of the artillery of our army"! Wang Yaowu said categorically.

"Commander Xie Wang!"

Hanging up the phone, Wang Yaowu picked up the phone again and said, "Is it a heavy artillery battalion?" I'm Wang Yaowu. ”

"Yes! What does the commander command"?

"From now on, you are under the command of the commander of the 184th Division, and he said that you will shoot me wherever he wants, and don't save shells! Fight with all your might"!

"Why"? The battalion commander was puzzled, he was the Central Army, when would it be the turn of the miscellaneous army generals to command them?

"Is there anything in the order? Either execute! Either I'll shoot you"! Wang Yaowu said.

"Yes"!

A moment later, Wan Baobang called: "Is it the heavy artillery battalion of the 74th Army?" I'm Wan Bao Bang"!

"Yes, sir"!

"Order your department, aim in the southeast direction, coordinates, 002, correction 009, 18 km, bombard with all your might"!

"Yes"!

The heavy artillery of the 74th Army immediately began to quickly adjust its gun positions, and similarly, the four Krupp heavy guns of the two divisions of the 60th Army also began to be loaded, and large-caliber shells were stuffed into the barrels!

"Ready! Put "!

The artillery pulled the bolt suddenly, and in the loud sound of the ground shaking the mountain, one after another large-caliber shells flew out, and at the same time, a whole heavy artillery battalion of the 74th Army also followed suit!

"Command! All the heavy artillery captured from the Japanese army was divided into two parts, one part bombarded the Japanese troops attacking at the front of our army, and the other part bombarded the forward Japanese troops attacking the 74th Army"!

"Yes"!

More than a dozen 105 heavy guns began to turn their orientation to aim at the Japanese troops who were storming the 74th Army, and in the accurate artillery fire, many Japanese troops in the center of the river were blown to pieces, and several small boats were blown into pieces and smashed into slag and floated on the river.

Through the binoculars, Wang Yaowu laughed and said: "The artillery under the command of Wan Baobang is really unusual, maybe they can really blow up the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army!"

"I think it's possible, during the Battle of Xuzhou, Wan Baobang destroyed the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army in this way, and the threat of the Japanese army was directly halved without heavy artillery, and when the time came, I led people to knock them head-on"! Zhang Lingfu said.

"Good!"!

Near the Nanxun Railway, the Japanese artillery was firing fiercely, and the Japanese heavy artillery positions were opening fire and bombing, but at this time, a series of breaking sounds sounded above their heads, and it was too late for these Japanese troops to understand what had happened.

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

A series of violent explosions sounded on the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, and a group of flames went straight into the sky, and I don't know how many Japanese soldiers in the firelight turned into smoke in an instant, and the explosion caused by the explosion was even more terrifying!

Because of the explosion, the shells piled up in the field were detonated and scattered in all directions, constantly detonating the shells on the position, the heavy artillery of the 106th Division had not been hit before, so the distance that the artillery saw was not too far, all the positions on the front line under a series of shelling were full of fire, and the Japanese artillery positions were all destroyed in just a few minutes, and there were almost no people alive.

On the forward position, the fierce heavy artillery of the Japanese army stopped suddenly, and Wan Baobang saw that the Japanese heavy artillery stopped firing, and immediately ordered: "All the heavy artillery concentrated fire to cover the forward positions of the Japanese army, and hit all those 92 infantry guns to me"!

At the same time, Li Zuo, who was on the forward position, saw that the Japanese artillery fire was thinning out, and then resolutely ordered: "Heavy machine guns give me all the strength to fire"!

A few minutes later, the heavy machine guns on the forward position did not hesitate to fire with all their might, and at this time, Wan Baobang's fierce artillery fire also fell on the Japanese position in an instant, and under the covering bombardment of the heavy artillery, the 92 infantry guns on the Japanese forward position were opened, and even the follow-up troops of the Japanese army were blocked.

At the same time, Hatch Chase and the Czechs opened fire with all their might, and bullets whizzed into the chests and wooden boats of the Japanese soldiers who were crossing the river!

Under the heavy fire of hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, many Japanese soldiers were killed in the water by machine guns, and what the Dian army had not yet used was their mortars, because the ammunition of the mortars was seriously insufficient, and they could only be used in key places.

"Find the machine-gun fire points of the Japanese army and strike them one by one"! Li Zuo ordered.

Amid the sound of machine guns, several heavy machine guns on the other side of the river opened fire on each other, and bullets flew out with a whistling fire.

In the melee, three Japanese heavy machine guns were killed by our Hatch Cars, and similarly, several of our machine-gun positions were destroyed by the Japanese.

Just when the Japanese army was already approaching the shore, the soldiers above opened fire one after another, such a distance was already within the effective range of the 79 rifle, and the accuracy of the shot had been greatly improved.

Pull the bolt, pull the trigger, shoot the bullet, and almost the entire river was covered with corpses, but the Japanese did not retreat, but smashed the follow-up troops and continued to charge.

"Divisional commander! We don't have shells anymore"! A communications soldier hurried.

"If not, forget it, and then they can only rely on themselves." Wan Baobang sighed.

After finishing speaking, Wan Baobang picked up the phone and said: "Commander, our artillery shells are almost exhausted, and the ammunition for the rifle machine gun is also urgent, the Japanese army is launching a fierce offensive, please send reinforcements quickly!" ”

"Don't worry, the 182nd Division has been transferred, and they have been ordered to support and transport ammunition to you, this is my last home, you can save some money"! Luján said.

"Yes"!

"Remember, if you can inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army, you can force it quickly, and if you can't, consolidate the defense line and prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking at any time!"

"Yes"!

Braving the firepower of our army, a part of the Japanese army finally rushed out of the river, but they could not attack, more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the forward position were able to suppress the fire intensively, followed by grenades! (To be continued.) )
