"I'm so angry, I'm really angry," Sakurai Shozo has always been known for his calmness, but this air battle is really too bad, almost a one-sided phenomenon, can he not be angry!? He roared loudly: "Aviation is not good, there are artillery, we still have artillery wings." Inform the artillery wing to bombard the Chinese positions-"

The Japanese army was powerful because of its powerful artillery.

The divisions of the Japanese army were equipped with a special artillery wing, which had four brigades and was equipped with 36 75mm mountain guns and 12 75mm field guns.

The infantry wing has an artillery squadron consisting of 4 mountain guns and an infantry artillery squadron consisting of 4 infantry guns. Even the infantry brigade was armed with 2 70mm Type 92 infantry guns.

In this way, there are nearly 96 artillery pieces in a division.

What is artillery? Artillery is the god of war. Whether it was Napoleon, or Hitler, whether it was the military powers of the United States, Britain, or the Soviet Union, all gave full play to the huge role of artillery in warfare. If the enemy is suppressed by the enemy's artillery, the success or failure is already decided.

The artillery wing of the Japanese army, after receiving the order of Sakurai Shozo, immediately calculated the firing yuan, adjusted the muzzle, and conducted a test firing first. A whole 48 large-caliber guns are aimed at Miling and Qiuling.

If a round of artillery, a full 48 rounds of 75-mm shells hit the Milling, there would be a sea of fire on the Ridge. The radius of each shell is more than 60 meters, and even the reader shuddes at how many people can survive in the overlapping killing area.

"Boom--" The test firing of the Japanese artillery wing hit a place 100 meters in front of Miling, throwing several miscellaneous trees and a single weed into the sky, and even some stones were blown to pieces, and some stones were directly lifted into the air several tens of meters in the air by the air flow of the explosion.

"Boom-" Two more shells leaped over the hill of Miling and flew backwards. Because the shell was fired in a curved way, it landed in a place about 200 meters behind the Miling Mountain, which also caused a sensation of shaking the ground and shaking the mountain.

Soldiers with a little experience know that after the test firing, then the real blow will fall on the top of Miling Mountain. Although there are anti-aircraft and bulletproof fortifications on the rice ridge, and although the soldiers have bent their bodies deeply, no one knows how many people can escape the blow of shrapnel and the suffocating oxygen-deficient flow after a round of shelling.

At this moment, from the air, the air-to-surface missiles, which were blazing behind the four buttocks, flew towards the positions of the enemy's artillery wing.

"Boom-" "Boom-"

The Blue Arrow 7 air-to-surface missile launched from the J-20 fighter is mainly used to attack enemy tanks, armored vehicles, other vehicles, and personnel, and can also damage radar stations, missile launchers, artillery positions, fortifications and other valuable point targets.

After the J-20 fighter completed the air attack on the ground, it immediately returned and went to Hengyang Airport to reload the bombs.

After the four missiles landed, there was a flash of white light, which produced a huge explosion, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were blown apart at that time, and the artillery parts were scattered and flew in all directions.

Then there is the huge shock wave, centered on the missile, extending in all directions. Many soldiers seemed unharmed, but they were dead, and they were all shaken by the shock wave. The heart, muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves have been severely damaged, and the skin is still there, and the inside has been seriously deformed.

Another terrible aspect of Blue Arrow 7 is that it produces a blazing heat, with a core temperature of 2000 degrees, at which all the vegetation and trees are burned, and even the grease on the human corpse is burning. It is also known by another name, "Hellfire." ”

After the Blue Arrow 7 air raid, there was a deathly silence on the position of the Japanese artillery wing, burning everywhere, even the ground was burned black, and even the ** sound of the wounded was gone, as if no one existed.

The Japanese health team risked their lives to break into the place to see how many more people could be saved.

The position of this artillery wing was terrible, the dead were naked, their bodies were burned black, some of them had missing arms and legs, and their bones were exposed, and even the bones were not white, but yellowed and slightly blackened.

Looking at the body of the body, touching one is dead, there is no sign of life, touching one is dead, and the eyes are still open with horror, and the black face, the eyes look very scary, as if telling the terrible thing that happened just now.

Those who can survive on the artillery positions are really a fluke, and there are very few of them.

The entire field artillery wing, with a strength of 2,322 people, was dealt a devastating blow in an instant. There may also be more than two dozen artillery pieces, which have been blown up crooked by missiles, and the muzzles of the cannons are telling the sky, as if pouring out the glory of the past and the misfortune of the present.

Sakurai is an old soldier, from the missile attack just now, how can he not see that after the explosion, it is a sky-high flame, in this strong flame, how many people can survive, he also thought about it.

"My artillery wing, the foundation of my 33rd Division, now, it's over...... It's over......" he said helplessly, like a badly wounded lion **.

After a while, he came to his senses a little and shouted loudly again: "No, my 33rd division will not be finished, I still have the artillery of the infantry wing, I still have the artillery of the infantry brigade, I still have tanks." The remaining artillery, continue the bombardment, the tank units, ready to storm - and the infantry wing, followed - "

The artillery wing could not be counted on, but there were still quite a few artillery pieces in the infantry wing and the infantry brigade, and they immediately bombarded Miling and Qiuling. The tanks started with a bang, and they were ready to attack the top of the hill to support the infantry charge.

Miling and Qiuling were shrouded in a baptism of shrapnel and a sea of fire, but after all, it was much lighter than the artillery strike of a wing.

Han Xing's eyes were fixed on the tank troops under the mountain, to see how the little devil's tank attacked the top of the mountain.

The mixed tank formation used by the Japanese tank unit this time, that is, 12 tanks consisted of 6 Type 97 medium tanks and 6 Type 94 ultralight tanks.

In combat, the Type 94 tank was responsible for suppressing infantry close to the Type 97 with machine guns, while the Type 97 tank used a 57mm howitzer to fire at the enemy at a distance, with the infantry behind them following the tank, and the infantry using 50mm grenadiers to assist in suppressing the enemy infantry.

Han Xing's more headache is still the Type 97 medium tank. As for the Type 94 tank, also known as the "Bean Chariot", the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun of the Southern Expeditionary Army can deal with it.

The Type 97 medium tank was the most successful type of tank that Japan had equipped during World War II. The design of this tank was finalized in 1937 and began to equip the troops. It is called a medium tank, but in fact the total combat weight is only 15 tons, which is only equivalent to the light tanks of other countries. It had a crew of 4 and was armed with a 57mm short-barreled gun, with armor generally 25mm thick.

A preliminary battle plan was formed in Han Xing's mind, and he said to Zou Jiyan: "Battalion Commander Zou, is it okay to do this, our heavy machine guns suppress the enemy's light tanks and destroy them. Your battalion organizes death squads to blow up enemy medium tanks. As long as the enemy's medium tanks are almost wiped out, the battle will be easy to fight. ”

Zou Jiyan also frowned, and said to Han Xing: "Your heavy machine guns can really knock out the enemy's light tanks!?" ”

Han Xing said: "You just please, only look at the mud on your legs when you get out of the water!" ”

Zou Jiyan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said to his company commander Wang Chongren: "Company Commander Wang, if the Southern Expeditionary Army suppresses some of the enemy's tanks and infantry, you will organize a death squad and must blow up the enemy's medium tanks." ”

"Yes!" Wang Chongren shouted and immediately organized a death squad.

If you want to say that the slope of Miling is not too steep, if it can reach 45 degrees, the enemy's tank will really not be able to drive, but this slope is 30 degrees, and the little devil's tank can barely drive up.

As the tank was moving, grenades and explosives were constantly exploding. This was a "land mine" planted in advance by Zou Jiyan's officers and soldiers, and a Type 94 tank was unlucky and was hit by an explosive pack, and its tracks actually fell off and lost its combat effectiveness.

5 Type 94 light tanks opened the way in front, and its purpose was to be afraid that someone on the mountain would rush down and fight hard against the Type 97 medium tanks behind, so it acted as the first layer of shield to block the Chinese army on the mountain. Behind the Type 94 tanks were six Type 97 medium tanks, which aimed at the fortifications on the hill and constantly bombarded them with 57-mm howitzers.

Because the tanks were too close to the infantry fortifications on the mountain, every shell of these Type 97 tanks had a lot of lethality, and pieces of Chinese soldiers fell.

Just behind the Type 97 tank, there was about a brigade of infantry, and about a thousand people were following up the attack. The devil did not adopt the tactic of adding fuel this time, but went all out, if the Japanese troops of this brigade pounced, the Zou Jiyan battalion on the top of the mountain would be more than lucky.

Even if the Southern Expeditionary Army comes up again, it will be a defeat for both sides, and if the battle is calculated, I am afraid that it will fight to the death, and in the end, all of them will be killed.

300 meters, 250 meters, 200 meters, the bean chariots in the front, already clearly saw their tracks, 37mm guns, and 7.7mm machine guns, firing crazy bullets.

Han Xing yelled at the heavy machine gun: "Heavy machine gun, hit-"

Eight heavy machine guns roared like madness (one of which had been blown up by the artillery) and fired a storm of bullets at the enemy's Type 94 light tank.

The Japanese Type 94 light tank, because the armor on all sides was only 12 mm thick, could not withstand the blow of the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun at all, and the sharp and ruthless heavy machine gun bullets mercilessly penetrated the 12 mm thick steel plate and flew around in the tank.

Whether it was the driver in the car, the commander and gunner, in the narrow tank car, there was no way to dodge, and his body was beaten into a sieve. Moreover, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet is so powerful that as long as a bullet penetrates the body, it will traumatize a large hole, and there is no life at all.
