Chapter 237: Turning the tide of battle
After the order was issued, everyone quickly began to get busy, Mu Yuanliang was calling the military department, Zhang Quan opened the defense line to arm, and Yang Decai began to plant explosives in the surrounding positions and pull up the wire!
"Commander, forward telegram, they have taken down the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, and they have asked for the coordinates of the Japanese army, and they want to provide us with artillery support!" Lu Daoyuan said with great joy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Great, give them the position of a brigade in front of you!" Sun Du slapped the table and said.
Five minutes later, Li Fan, Lu Hai and others, who had obtained the coordinates, hurriedly began to correct the coordinates of the artillery, but fortunately, there were more than a dozen people in a company of Zhang Quan, an artilleryman who had graduated from the martial arts hall, who had studied artillery.
These artillery began to be corrected under the command of Li Fan, while Lu Hai and others were responsible for carrying the shells, and the entire position was tense and busy.
"What's going on? How did our artillery stop shelling? Shiro Inaba said with a puzzled face.
"Maybe the shells didn't keep up!" Said a brigade commander.
"Order them, fire quickly, and get all the shells out for me!"
"Yes!"
Another five minutes passed, and Li Fan spoke: "All the artillery is ready and ready to fire!" ”
"Command! All the artillery did not need to test fire, fire with all their might, and try to shoot these shells out to me as much as possible! Lu Hai ordered.
"Yes!"
Li Fan stepped aside, picked up a red flag, and said loudly: "Ready!" ”
"Put!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Hai suddenly pulled the cannon rope in his hand, only to hear a roar, a large-caliber cannonball flew out, and dozens of heavy guns in the field were also sounded at the same time. Just after the first shot, everyone quickly withdrew from the shell case, stuffed the second shell in, and pulled the bolt again!
On the forward position, Lu Daoyuan's new 11th Division was fighting with the Japanese army inseparably, there were more than 5,000 Japanese troops attacking at the front, and there were more than 4,000 troops behind.
"Boom!"
"Boom"!
A series of violent explosions rang out violently, and the huge smoke and dust rushed up more than ten meters high, once the shell landed on the ground, it was directly smashed out of a deep pit of more than a foot size, and the ground was like this, and the effect of smashing into the crowd can be imagined!
To the surprise of the Japanese army, these damn shells did not hit the positions of the Chinese army, and what surprised the soldiers of the Yunnan army even more was that when they were all hiding in the trenches and preparing for anti-artillery, these shells actually exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers!
"What's going on?" Shiro Inaba said angrily.
"The two armies are too close to each other, it may be a misfire!" The brigade commander hurriedly explained.
At this time, the second round of shells came again, and the target was still the main area of the Japanese charge, the Japanese troops in these places were relatively dense, and some Japanese soldiers followed armored vehicles and tanks in groups, but they were unlucky, a large-caliber shell drew a huge parabola at a range of more than ten kilometers and smashed heavily on the turret of this tank!
"Boom"!
In the loud noise, the turret of this Japanese heavy tank was smashed into scrap metal, and what was even more terrifying was that it was a tank, and the shells hit it and directly turned into countless pieces of high temperature fragments and flew wildly towards the surroundings.
The effect of this cannon alone cost the Japanese army a heavy tank and the lives of more than 20 Japanese soldiers, as well as more than a dozen wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs!
"Order, all units launch a counterattack and defeat the Japanese army!" Lu Daoyuan picked up the phone and said.
"Yes!"
Just when the Japanese heavy artillery was still firing frantically on their positions, the troops suppressed by the Japanese on all lines opened fire one after another, hundreds of heavy machine guns, hundreds of light machine guns, and thousands of 79 rifles all fired fiercely at this time!
The dense rain of bullets instantly shot wildly at the already chaotic Japanese position, and a large number of Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another, and the scene at this time was like cutting wheat, and a large number of Japanese troops were planted on the hillside and smashed on the flat ground below the mountain!
"Yaga! Go check it out right away, and come to see me with the head of Komura Uehara! Shiro Inaba jumped like thunder.
"Hey!"
A Japanese soldier hurriedly turned around and ran down, and at this time, the second round. The third round of shells bombarded the Japanese army again, and continued to expand in depth, and it was actually chasing the retreating Japanese army!
"Command! Heavy artillery battalions, mountain artillery batteries, mortars of our army. Don't feel sorry for the shells, shoot them all! Sun Du picked up the phone and said.
"Yes!"
For a time, the last few hundred heavy artillery shells of our army were quickly stuffed into the barrels of the guns and bombarded the Japanese positions frantically, and at the same time, dozens of mountain artillery and hundreds of mortars also concentrated their firepower to bombard the Japanese army that was completely chaotic!
The entire Shadow Bead Mountain was full of firelight from explosions, and the dense explosions followed one after another, and the earth trembled under the roar of heavy artillery, and the entire land was burning!
The terrible shock wave, the high temperature and dense shrapnel, and the almost deafening sound became the theme of this moment, a large number of Japanese troops were reduced to pieces in the artillery fire, and there were bullets comparable to heavy rain in the sound of gunfire frantically harvesting!
Shiro Inaba's face turned iron-blue, and he quickly turned the color of pig's liver, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were killed and wounded in front of him, Shiro Inamino suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.
Several officers next to him hurriedly held him up, and Shiro Inano said with a desperate face: "Pass the order and retreat!" Fall back! ”
The surrounding Japanese officers also had a heavy face, and the commander of the Japanese brigade nodded with a pale face and said, "Send Your Excellency the division commander down for medical treatment, and order all units to cover the retreat!" ”
"Hey"!
Just less than a minute after a few Japanese soldiers ran down with Shiro Inino, Wei Peicang also took two battalions of troops to a hillside a few hundred meters away from Shiro Inaba's headquarters!
"Binoculars!" Wei Peicang said.
The guards on the side hurriedly handed over the binoculars, Wei Peicang glanced at the Japanese military position that was exploding and blooming, and a command headquarters in the distance, when he saw that there was a Japanese major general standing outside the headquarters, Wei Peicang was overjoyed and said: "Do you see it?" That is the command of the Japanese army, the order is given, the first battalion to the left, the second battalion to break through head-on, within ten minutes must exchange fire, fifteen minutes must solve the battle, a full retreat! ”
"Yes!"
"Regiment commander, you see that the Japanese troops on the opposite side have suffered heavy casualties and are likely to retreat, we must let the brothers on the front contain the Japanese troops on the front, otherwise once they withdraw, we will directly collide with thousands of Japanese troops!" Hai Zhizhi said hurriedly.
Wei Peicang picked up the binoculars and looked at it: "What you said is reasonable, send a telegram to the army commander, let them drag the Japanese army for half an hour, and we will destroy this command of the Japanese army!" ”
"Yes!"
"Pass the order, I'm going to go back with the head of this Japanese commander and fire at me!"
"Whoever cuts off the head of this Japanese commander, I will reward him with a hundred oceans!" Wei Peicang said.
"Yes!"
Just when they were moving towards this Japanese headquarters at full speed, Sun Du also ordered the troops not to charge to prevent the Japanese army from retreating prematurely, after all, if this rout retreat, a few thousand soldiers of his own regiment would completely collide with the Japanese army, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just when Wei Peicang's troops were already approaching the battlefield, a violent explosion suddenly sounded a few kilometers behind the battle group, and the Japanese mountain artillery position had been destroyed!
Five minutes later, the troops of the two battalions were only a hundred meters away from the Japanese army, but the strength of the two battalions was not good for a sneak attack after all, and now they had been discovered by the Japanese sentinels, and the battle started in a moment!
"All on bayonets, mortars ready!" Wei Peicang ordered.
More than 20 mortars were erected almost in a minute, and after hastily correcting the coordinates, the artillery fired shells frantically at the Japanese positions!
After the shelling began, the forces of the two battalions quickly launched a two-sided charge towards the Japanese headquarters on this small high ground!
In the explosion, some Japanese defensive positions were blown up by mortar guns, and just as the Japanese soldiers inside were preparing to counterattack again, a series of grenades were already whistling in!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
One by one, the Japanese soldiers were killed in the trenches, and at this time, the soldiers of the Yunnan army, who had a complete advantage, charged in with bayonets, shot at the distance, stabbed with bayonets when they were close, and slashed all the way towards the Japanese headquarters!
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have been attacked by a large force of the Chinese army!" A Japanese soldier said with a panicked face.
"How many people"? The commander of the Japanese brigade hurriedly asked.
"More than a thousand people, let's evacuate quickly, it's too late!"
"Order the troops to retreat quickly to prevent being divided and surrounded by the Chinese army!"
"Yes!"
"Retreat!"
Several Japanese soldiers hurriedly packed up the things of the headquarters, and a Japanese soldier hurriedly took the wireless first to send a report to the front line to retreat!
At this moment, several mortar shells came in, and in the explosion, the Japanese soldier was violently blown over, and the radio station was also blown up.
Just when the commander of the Japanese brigade and the captain of the wing had just rushed out of the position, a series of gunfire had already sounded, and when they looked up, they saw that the dense Chinese troops were only more than 20 meters away from them!
Just when the faces of these two Japanese soldiers were full of shock, the machine gun held by Haizhizhi suddenly rang out, and a series of bullets whistled and flew, and the flesh and blood of the Japanese army and several Japanese soldiers were blurred on the spot, and a bullet was even whistling on the neck of the brigade commander, but this bullet was slightly off, and did not break the throat and major artery, but only opened a hole on the upper side of the neck, and at the same time, the brigade commander's thigh was also pierced by the bullet!
Kai Zhizhi led everyone to shoot all the way, and all the Japanese soldiers who could be seen were fine, and then he pulled out a Burmese knife from the waist of a soldier and walked towards the brigade commander of the Japanese army... (To be continued.) )
