Artillery battles also pay attention to skill, whoever exposes the position first will die. Shizuichi Tanaka thought that this was an ordinary national army, lacking artillery, and he could fight as much as he wanted.

Hou Dashan and Wang Dawu are not good people, they were all regular national soldiers, they were all educated in special artillery schools, graduated from junior colleges, and after joining the army, they were tested by actual combat artillery fire for many years, and their "bad" hearts and eyes were all in a bag.

They are first fake, that is, they use fake artillery positions to confuse each other, and then they hide, the real artillery positions are well camouflaged, and the little devils can't see it at all from a distance. There is another trick, that is, dividing the artillery into squadrons and squadrons, in order to fear being wiped out by the enemy's artillery fire.

As soon as the enemy's artillery was exposed, Hou Dashan smiled and said to Wang Dawu with a wicked smile on his face: "Commander Wang, these jobs will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dawu also said happily: "There is no one in our mother's family who bullied us, and my eyes are red - bad blood!" Let's let them taste the power of our big watermelon! ”

Wang Dawu was the deputy commander of the mechanized regiment and the commander of the second heavy artillery battalion. He turned out to be the commander of the howitzer regiment of the 49th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and during a Japanese raid, the whole regiment was stunned by poison gas bombs. Thanks to Han Xing leading the Southern Expeditionary Army to rescue him, even the people with artillery were saved.

After the health team of the Southern Expeditionary Army rescued these officers and soldiers, Wang Dawu learned about his kindness and reported it, so he followed the Southern Expeditionary Army. The commander of the 49th Army, as well as Li Zongren and Xue Yue, all came to ask for these howitzers, but they were all "laid" by Han Xing.

Wang Dawu had several sharpshooters under him, and the commander of the first company, Li Bus, was one of them. At this time, Libbs was standing on a high ground with a telescope in his hand, and was carefully observing the enemy's position. Although the forward observation post had already reported the target of the shooting, Libus was still holding the telescope and re-observing it to check whether the situation reported by the observation post was accurate.

Shooting cannons is no joke, and while you hit the enemy, you are exposed. Artillery generally do not shoot at random, if you want to hit, it is best to hit the target with one shot, if it doesn't work, the second shot will hit the target after correction, if you can't hit the enemy with three shots in a row. It's very dangerous, if you don't get it right, an enemy shell hits.

He was doomed.

The second heavy artillery battalion of the mechanized regiment is mainly equipped with 24 Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain guns and 14 Soviet ZIS-3 76mm field guns, which are currently the best howitzers in China.

The Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain gun, each gun is operated by 6 people, one sighter, one operator, one gunner, one gun commander, and two ammunition hands. There are also two keepers who are responsible for feeding the six animals, and the mountain cannons are mainly dismantled and carried by these animals. The total weight of this mountain gun was 536 kg.

Soviet-made ZIS-3 type 76-mm field guns, each gun operated with 8 people, one sighter, one operator, one gunner, one squad leader, four ammunition men. This gun is much heavier than the Japanese Type 94 gun, with a total weight of 1.15 tons in combat condition, and is specially towed by a car. There is a driver and a co-driver on board, so the whole class is 10 people.

There are also special and complex procedures for shooting, first of all, a rough calculation of the horizontal position of the two sides, fortunately this is a plain area, and the level of both sides is negligible. Then there is the angle of the horizontal position of the artillery, which, like the rifle, is aimed at the enemy. Then there is the elevation angle of the shot, which is the most difficult to calculate, which has to be calculated according to the amount of ammunition of the shell, and then calculate the characteristics of the projectile curvature, and the degree of elevation angle is preliminarily determined.

In fact, the firing distance of artillery is more than 5 kilometers, less than 10 kilometers, and at such a long distance, the naked eye cannot see where the shells are falling at all, but only where the shells hit, and the front-line observers can then make corrections according to this position, so that it is much easier.

Libbs observed that the enemy's artillery position was six kilometers away, and it was nice to be able to see the enemy's artillery with a telescope.

This artillery battery of Liebus was armed with six Japanese Type 94 75mm mountain guns, and Liebus quickly issued an order: "11 o'clock 43 degrees horizontally, 39 degrees in elevation, one shot per gun, shoot-"

The operator skillfully rotated the screw handle and adjusted the barrel according to Libus's requirements. The ammunition men quickly loaded each gun with one 75-mm shell.

The artillery commander held the red flag in one hand and the green flag in the other, raised the small green flag, and shouted loudly: "Ready-" "Ready-"

The six artillery commanders shouted hoarsely.

"Let's go-" The six gun commanders waved their green flags at the same time and gave the order.

As soon as the gunner pulled the rope, the primer of the shell was directed. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! "Six 75-mm mountain guns made the sound of cannon ejection at the same time.

Why should the shells be fired together, because if they are fired one at a time, then the enemy still has the possibility of dodging, and if six shells fall together, there is nowhere to hide.

If dozens of shells fall together, the effect of the attack is far better than if dozens of shells fall one by one. Therefore, the powerful combat power is all fired by 10,000 cannons, which really creates a dead place in this area, so that the enemy has nowhere to hide.

The blackened shells drew a graceful arc in the air and flew towards the artillery wing of the 13th Division.

"Boom-" "Boom-boom-" Six 75-mm mountain artillery shells exploded on the enemy's artillery wing positions, the huge fire of the 6th regiment shone brightly, the black smoke of the 6th regiment rose, the two mountain guns were overturned, the frame was blown apart, and the cannon parts flew up to the sky. Between the parts of the cannon, there were dozens of Japanese soldiers, who were instantly torn apart by the shell skin, and the shock wave rushed these mutilated limbs to no idea where they went.

As soon as the shells exploded, the bombed positions suddenly lost their resistance, because there was nothing to see, there were fires, thick smoke and soldiers' corpses everywhere, and the brains were confused by the explosion, and it was too late to save their lives, where could they distinguish between east, west, north and south.

As soon as Libus saw that the shells had hit the target, he immediately took the telescope and shouted: "Shoot continuously, 5 shells per cannon." ”

The Type 94 75mm mountain gun can fire 12 shells per minute at the fastest, that is, one shell per 5 seconds. The second and third rounds of shells were not salvos, and a continuous stream of shells was fired at the positions of the Japanese artillery wing.

Continuous firelight flashed on the Japanese artillery position, and clouds of black smoke shrouded the sky over the artillery position, tightly surrounding this artillery position.

Every firing of the artillery inevitably caused a small shock, in which of course the shells did not fall in the same place. And the gunpowder of the cannonballs cannot be exactly the same, and the landing point of this one and that one will always be so different. Sometimes it will be tens of meters, sometimes it will be hundreds of meters.

Libbs's company finished firing these shells, and Libus quickly gave the order: "Shift positions, shift positions—"

After taking advantage of others, the position will be exposed. The position is exposed, and it is not interesting to stay in this place any longer, and if you can't get someone to shoot and retaliate, you will stand up for yourself.

In order to quickly transfer his position, Wang Dawu adopted the method of Han Xing, that is, he transferred the tractor of the Soviet-made ZIS-3 76-mm field gun, hung it on the tractor and quickly transferred it.

A company of mountain artillery had just been transferred to a new location, and there was no time to build a new artillery position. It turned out that there was a rumbling explosion from Libus's artillery position. This is the Japanese army concentrated several brigades of Type 92 infantry guns, in retaliation against the exposed company of Liebus.

If the transfer is a little late, it will definitely be a loss. I can't help but admit that the Japanese army also had a lot of artillery masters, and they fought quite accurately.

Wang Dawu had long been on guard against this trick of the little devil, and immediately ordered the second company to focus on the sporadic artillery positions of the Japanese army that were about to flick their claws again.

The sound of "boom ......" artillery again roared over the enemy's positions.

The artillery battle took a long time to end, and the artillery of the 13th Division suffered heavy losses, and the mechanized regiment of the Southern Expeditionary Army suffered few losses, which also showed that the tactical use of Hou Dashan, Wang Dawu, and Li Buss was quite successful.

The commander of the 65th Wing, Kazuki Nakamura, had expected the artillery wing of the 13th Division to bombard the Chinese infantry positions defending him indiscriminately for a while, breaking their will and killing and wounding a large number of them. Unexpectedly, after an artillery battle, they did not take much advantage, but on the contrary, the artillery positions on their own side were shining with fire and rumbling, and they became the target of the Chinese artillery.

When did Nakamura Kazuki get so angry, he stood up suddenly, brandished his command knife, and shouted at the Japanese soldiers of the 65th Wing: "Japanese officers and soldiers, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions to the Great East Asian Holy War. Towards the position of the Chinese army, the duck gives-"

The reason why the Japanese army is strong is that it is ordered to do it. Give an order, even if you die, you have to complete the task. All the officers and men of the 65th Wing stood up together, and even the wounded soldiers struggled to their feet, and they let out a beastly roar towards the position of the guard battalion: "Whoa, whoa—"

Thousands of bayonets glistened in the sunlight and pounced on the Chinese positions like wolves.

At the same time, the officers and men of the 104th Wing, who were not far from them, stood up, raised their bayonets, and rushed viciously, just like the 65th Wing.

Although the Japanese artillery was not powerful, they had a crooked machine gun in one squad, a grenadier squad in a squad, and a machine gun squadron of 174 men in a brigade, and a machine gun squadron of 14 people, three machine gun platoons, and one ammunition platoon, with four three-year heavy machine guns in each platoon, a total of 12 units.

Dozens of heavy machine guns "clicked...... like wooden birds.
