The 276th artillery battle against the 34th Division
Liu Zhiyuan has no way to deal with Han Xing, this Han Xing is a little arbitrary, and often does unbelievable things. But few people can change what he decides.
Alas, fighting with such a person is really a success and a failure!
Liu Zhiyuan was reluctant to go to Zhang Weihan to make a small report, so he could only endure it for the time being.
The firepower of Hou Dashan's artillery regiment is slightly stronger than that of the artillery wing of the 34th Division, but compared with the total artillery firepower of the 34th Division, it is obviously not good. Therefore, it is still not easy for the mechanized regiment of the Southern Expeditionary Army to defeat the artillery of the entire 34th Division.
Why did Han Xing follow Hou Dashan to see the artillery position, that is, he was not very at ease with the artillery.
The tactics of artillery are divided into defense and offense, and the first tactic is to camouflage your position and not be killed by the enemy's air force or artillery.
In the unique topography of Shanggao, Shanggao County is also a small flat land, a county was built here, and there is a flat land in the west of Shanggao County, but unfortunately, across a Jinjiang River, it is inconvenient, and there is also a small flat land in the northeast corner, which can establish an artillery position here, which is also a blessing for the Southern Expeditionary Army!
The rest of the place above is basically a mountain.
Han Xing and Hou Dashan quickly entered Hou Dashan's artillery position in an artillery tractor. As soon as Wang Dawu, the acting head of the mechanized regiment, saw that the commander was coming, the regiment commander came, and hurried to greet him.
The flat land is full of trees, verdant rice paddies, and even wild grasses are thriving. In this area, there are hundreds of artillery positions.
Seeing this, Han Xing couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "Hou Dashan's artillery is forty or fifty, how can there be so many artillery positions?" ”
If you look at each artillery position, it is much the same. It was surrounded by a circle of sandbags, and behind the cannon was a neatly placed shell box with a protective net on top of it, the barrel of which protruded, and some gleaming shells next to it. At each gun emplacement, several soldiers were standing guard, moving back and forth from time to time.
Wang Dawu gave Han Xing a problem and asked, "Commander Han, which one do you say is true and which one is false?" ”
Han Xing was also confused: "Why, these artillery pieces are also fake." ”
Wang Dawu smiled but did not answer. Hou Dashan smiled and said to Han Xing: "My Commander Han, our artillery is just like that. If you just put it away with a big grin, you would have asked the little devil to pick it up! ”
Hou Dashan's words aroused Han Xing's great interest, and he hurriedly went to a nearby artillery position to inspect. When I got closer, it turned out that the cannon body was some logs, and the barrel of the cannon was a steel pipe, not to mention the distance, even if you looked closely, you had to keep your eyes open to see that it was fake.
When the shell boxes were moved, it turned out to be empty boxes one by one, and the boxes were filled with "glittering" artillery shells.
Han Xing scolded with a smile: "You, Hou Dashan, Wang Dawu, even I have been fooled." ”
Hou Dashan said teasingly: "The cunning rabbit still has three nests!" Anyway, I've been an artilleryman for more than ten years, and I still have this heart. ”
Wang Dawu also continued: "This is called true and false, false and real. ”
It turned out that most of this large area of artillery positions were fake.
"Boom," in a grove, several artillery pieces were test-fired. And nearby, several small explosive packets suddenly exploded, emitting patches of dazzling light.
"What's going on?" Han Xing asked Hou Dashan, "Why is there a cannon over there, and it is also ringing here." ”
Hou Dashan smiled slyly and said to Han Xing, "You just wait for the show, right?" ”
Wang Dawu also said: "This is all for the enemy's observation posts. ”
After stopping for three to five minutes, the enemy's artillery came and bombarded the place where the small explosive packets exploded, and the shot was still relatively accurate, not far from the place just now.
Suddenly, three or four artillery pieces on our position exploded, and the sound of violent explosions threw the barrels and artillery racks into the sky, and sandbags and shell boxes were also blown up in a mess.
Others may not be able to see it, but Han Xing saw it and asked Hou Dashan: "No, the enemy's artillery didn't hit these artillery just now." Why did these guns explode? ”
Hou Dashan smiled: "According to your cleverness, can't you guess?" ”
Wang Dawu also said: "Then guess? ”
Han Xing suddenly came to his senses and said happily: "Hou Dashan, Wang Dawu, I understand, there are cannons over there, and there is light here, you are an observation post to attract the enemy and cause them to misunderstand." Then as soon as the enemy hits the cannon, it will sound on your side, which is also to lure the enemy and cause the enemy to misunderstand, thinking that their artillery has hit our artillery! ”
"Yes, yes," Hou Dashan shouted, "It's not a loss to be the commander, and you can guess it as soon as you guess." ”
Wang Dawu also complimented Han Xing and said: "This means that the Ming people don't need to talk about it in detail, this little problem can stump you Commander Han!" ”
The enemy fired more than a dozen shells, knocking out several more of our "gun emplacements", causing a violent explosion. The barrels and racks of the guns were blown apart, and the yellow shells were scattered all over the ground.
After a while, the enemy's concentrated suppression of artillery fire came, and only the fire on our positions was glittering, the artillery was rumbling, and the positions were blown to a pulp.
In the midst of the violent explosions, our artillery explosives also exploded continuously, causing an even more intense effect.
Hou Dashan said to Han Xing: "Warmly, our army's artillery position can be regarded as completely 'destroyed'." ”
"Yes," Han Xing said, "our artillery position is really 'finished'." What's next, how to act? ”
"Then play a complete destruction!" Wang Dawu said.
This artillery position is really like dead, there is no movement at all, it is really like it is completely dead.
Han Xing knew that the defense of the artillery should be over, and the next step was for our artillery to exert its might.
The positions of the enemy's artillery, through our forward observation posts, were constantly entered into the ears of the artillerymen. Besides, the bursts of test firing just now have already adjusted the shooting of Zhuyuan.
Suddenly, dozens of our artillery positions suddenly went berserk, and the sound of "Boom Boom Boom ......" cannon ejection from the ground violently reached Han Xing's ears, and he couldn't wait to deafen his ears!
Our army adopted the method of scattering positions and concentrating firing points, so as to increase the difficulty of the Japanese army's reconnaissance and suppression of our artillery to the greatest extent. Immediately after the cannon was fired, the artillery was replaced, and each gun had three or four reserve gun emplacements.
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of getting a few shots to change places. As for the original gun emplacement, we had to continue to camouflage, pull up the protective net, set up a circle of sandbags, put some shell boxes behind it, and randomly place some yellow shell shells. It also created a false impression for the enemy.
At this time, the artillery observation post in front kept coming with good news: "The artillery wing of the 34th Division has suffered a huge blow, only a dozen guns can hit, and the rest have been destroyed." ”
At this time, on Hou Dashan's artillery position, the cheers of the artillerymen were heard from time to time. When the soldiers saw that the Japanese artillery had been deceived so badly by us, they laughed and laughed at the stupid Japanese soldiers one by one.
Han Xing saw that the situation of the artillery array was okay, so he said to Hou Dashan: "Your mechanized regiment will fight like this, we still have to go back to the headquarters." Liu Zhiyuan may be in a hurry at this moment! ”
Wang Dawu shouted: "You can go back and command the overall situation with confidence!" With my Wang Dawu here, I can't let the little devils take advantage. ”
Han Xing and Hou Dashan returned to the headquarters of the former expeditionary army in a guided army, isn't it, Liu Zhiyuan is really going crazy! The situation on the entire Shangao Front is still not optimistic.
Although the enemy's artillery wing was heavily damaged, there were still a lot of artillery pieces in the Japanese infantry wing and infantry brigade, and it was very difficult to wipe out the Japanese artillery in one go.
There were many Japanese assault troops and fierce artillery, and the national army was about to be unable to withstand it for a while.
At this time, Sonobe and Ichiro sent a second wave of aviation to support.
The commander of the 34th Division, Shigeru Naga, knew that the Japanese army could not leave the air force, and seeing that the Japanese air formation just now was finished, he had to ask the commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment Nagato Saburo to provide air support again.
Saburo Endo knew that the battle of Kamitaka was not trivial, so he endured the pain in his heart and sent another woody squadron to "rush to the field".
The planes of the Kimoto squadron are even more powerful, this time they are not adulterated, they are all unified Zero aircraft, each of which is loaded with 2 30-kilogram aerial bombs.
Xu Da's air force finished loading and returned, just in time to meet the second group of Japanese air forces that attacked Huayang.
The captain of the Kimoto squadron was a fierce man in the basin -- he didn't know the depth, he thought that this was fighting against China's Yi-15 and Yi-16 fighters, and he didn't take Xu Da's air force seriously at all, so he first came up with a non-heliant attitude, and when he came up, he launched an air attack on the defenders of the supplementary regiment of the 51st Division in Huayang.
On the Zero fighter, the 7.7mm machine gun ruthlessly harvested the lives of the soldiers of the 74th Supplementary Regiment of the 51st Division of the 51st Army. 30 kg of bombs, too, mercilessly fell on the heads of the Chinese defenders.
Xu Dayi was furious and first ordered the first round of missile attacks. Four Thunderbolt-8 air-to-air missiles fell from the J-20 fighter and soon shot down four Zeros.
Kimoto saw that the Chinese Air Force was so powerful, what kind of weapon was this, it could attack the Japanese Zero plane in a corner. He also has a good brain, on the one hand, he uses 4 Zero planes to engage in aerial combat with Chinese J-20 fighters, and on the other hand, he leads the remaining 3 Zero planes to attack the Chinese defenders of Huayang.
This replenishment regiment faced the three-dimensional attack of aircraft in the sky and artillery on the ground, as well as Japanese infantry.
In the fierce battle, platoon commander Li Xing was injured by artillery shells in many places, blood gushed like a spring, and more than 10 comrades-in-arms were killed or wounded. A squad leader in the platoon shouted anxiously: "The devils are attacking too hard, and there are many troops, should we retreat to the back?" Platoon commander, your injuries are very serious, there is too much blood left, and you have to go to the rear for treatment soon! ”
