Chapter 801 The Devil's Three-dimensional Counterattack on Land, Sea and Air (2)
With planes in front of the front to suppress the fire of the security regiment, their fleet can smoothly pass through the blockade line of the security regiment's long-range artillery.
"Signal corps, order the fleet and gunboat fleet to sail at full speed, and the warships are ready to shell the Nanshan position!!"
"Hayi, Commander!"
The Devil Communications Corps hurried to convey Nagumo Morita's order.
Soon, the gunners of the warships of the devils moved the direction of the gun barrels, adjusted the firing height, and aimed at the Nanshan position in the distance.
"Attack, naval artillery attack !!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
In the distance, there was a muffled sound of naval artillery shelling on the Yangtze River.
Large-caliber artillery shells flew out of the warship and quickly swept across the river, and the rain of bullets was as dense as a swarm of locusts, fiercely bombarding the Nanshan position.
The devil's naval guns flew in like a sea of mountains, and they exploded everywhere for several kilometers around the Nanshan position.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of explosions on the Nanshan position came and went.
Waves of cannonballs flew more and more fiercely, and the explosions created became bigger and bigger, as if the entire Nanshan Mountain was about to collapse.
The devil's cannonballs are like ploughing the ground, and every corner is under the bombardment of cannonballs.
There were nearly 100 shells flying in, and suddenly, the position was filled with gunsmoke and firelight, and the surroundings became a sea of gunpowder smoke and fire.
The Devil's warship is 20 kilometers away from the Nanshan position, and the ultimate firing range of the Devil's large-caliber naval guns is about 20 kilometers.
The ideal range of the guns on the devil's warships is about fifteen kilometers, and when they shoot at ultra-long ranges, they don't have much hit rate at all.
Most of the incoming shells deviated from their targets, and some even landed on the tidal flats of the Yangtze River several kilometers away.
The shells that were able to hit the Nanshan position did not destroy the important fire positions of the security regiment.
Although the guns of the Devil's Navy were fierce, the officers and men of the security regiment on the position relied on strong bunkers to conceal themselves, and the casualties caused were not very large.
In the distance, the devil fleet on the Yangtze River was moving, while carrying out heavy artillery bombardment, the enemy fleet quickly approached the Nanshan position......
The navy and air force of the little devils have been dispatched, and the enemy will not let the security regiment have a chance to breathe, so the devil's army will definitely attack immediately.
The 106th Division of the Japanese Army, the combat unit responsible for attacking the Nanshan position was the 128th Wing, in addition, there was a heavy artillery brigade with fire support.
Generally, the artillery brigade of the devil is mostly equipped with Type 92 infantry guns, or some small and medium-caliber mountain artillery, and as long as the enemy needs the battle, it will specially mobilize large-caliber artillery support.
The mountain artillery unit of the little devil quickly established an artillery position.
At this time, the soldiers of the devil took advantage of the officers and men of the security regiment to deal with the planes and naval guns, and immediately launched a charge towards the Nanshan position.
The little devil soldiers were divided into two routes, and the two devil brigades attacked simultaneously to the north and west of the Nanshan position.
"Imperial Army, occupy the positions in front, ducks and chickens give !!"
"Imperial soldiers, annihilate the security regiment, ducks and chickens to !!"
The front commander of the little devil raised the command knife in his hand and ordered the soldiers loudly.
As soon as the order was given, the little devil soldiers were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Nanshan position excitedly.
The 106th Division of the Devil is also a division with strong combat effectiveness, the strength of the Devil is far more than the Security Regiment, and the enemy only sent two brigades to attack, mainly because the Nanshan position is not conducive to too many people to fight, and it is not suitable for group charge.
The little devil shouted loudly in his mouth and moved forward while shooting in various positions.
The enemy chose to attack in this situation, which is indeed the best chance.
The security regiment has to deal with the little devil's naval artillery and fight against the devil's plane, and it is difficult to free up his hands to block the devil's army to fight.
The little devils have set up an offensive posture of the army and navy, but the devils' land, sea and air tactics are not mature, and there is no good coordination between the arms.
To put it simply, each branch of the devil fights its own troops, and everyone wants to make meritorious contributions.
However, then again, the devil's naval artillery firepower is indeed fierce, and it deserves to be the strongest fleet in Asia.
As the devil's fleet approached quickly, the fire of the naval guns extended to the forward position of the first battalion of the security regiment.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Shells came one after another, destroying many fortifications of the first battalion on the front line, and many firing points were also destroyed.
Fortunately, there were strong anti-aircraft fortifications left over from the previous position on the position, otherwise, where would the first battalion position withstand the fierce attack of the devil's naval guns.
The ferocious naval artillery fire lasted for more than ten minutes, and the mine arrays and obstacles arranged at the forefront of the position were basically destroyed by the naval guns.
When the first battalion of the little devil infantry rushed halfway through, the fire suppression of the devil's naval guns stopped.
After all, the devil's naval artillery is a long-range strike, and the accuracy will not be too high, and if you continue to attack, the shells are likely to deviate and explode your own people.
Li Hong saw that the artillery fire on the front line had stopped, and after a while, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked about the casualties of the first battalion.
"Battalion Commander Hu, how is your battalion?!"
Hu Bald wiped the dirt on the walkie-talkie and reported: "Report to the regiment, our battalion has suffered more than 100 casualties, don't worry, the little devil will definitely not rush up!" ”
The casualties of more than 100 people were not small for the security regiment, and Li Hong, as the commander of the regiment, was very worried about such casualties when the battle began.
Li Hong knew that the security regiment had limited troops, and he would not be stupid enough to fight hard with the little devils, and he had to think of some clever tactics to deal with the little devils.
After thinking for a few minutes, he changed his defensive tactics against the 1st battalion......
Although the casualties of the officers and soldiers on the position of the first battalion were not too great, they were suppressed by the devil's naval artillery, and many soldiers' heads were shaken, and some soldiers even had difficulty walking.
It took a few minutes for the soldiers of the first battalion to come to their senses.
As soon as the artillery fire on the positions of the first battalion stopped, the soldiers hurriedly came out of the various fortifications and entered their respective combat positions.
"Brothers, the little devil is attacking, get into a combat position!!"
"Quick, quick, brothers of the engineer company, quickly rebuild the bunker fortifications and fire fortifications!!"
The officers and men of the 1st battalion quickly got up to work and re-established mortar positions, machine gun groups, and positional defenses as quickly as possible.
The first battalion guarded the northern part of the Nanshan position, and the terrain to the north was mainly relatively gentle slopes.
The terrain of the slope is not very steep, the terrain is not too high, and the tracked combat vehicles can rush up, so it is not easy for the officers and men of the first battalion to withstand the pressure of the enemy's attack.
