Chapter 787: Battle of the Horse (4)
The artillery fire on the front-line positions was raging, and a large group of devil soldiers held their heads, covered their ears, and rolled and crawled on the ground and fled in embarrassment.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Shells exploded everywhere, and shrapnel and debris were scattered everywhere, killing and injuring many of the fleeing devil soldiers.
The bodies of the devil soldiers were splattered into a hornet's nest, and blood splattered from the wounds of the enemy and splattered on the scorched earth.
In the face of such fierce artillery fire, the devil officers and soldiers could only hide in the pillboxes and tunnel fortifications.
"My legs, my eyes, medics, medics......"
"Ahh......h
The devil soldiers fell under the fortifications, clutching their bleeding wounds and rolling in pain and wailing.
The shells rained down like meteorites, and the area covered by the artillery fire was very dense.
The surrounding devil medic heard the shouting and hurriedly ran in the direction of the shouting wounded.
So many shells fell down, and the ground shook violently, like the ground shaking.
The ghost medic who ran over was dizzy from the shell, and fell to the ground in a daze, unable to get up.
There were also some devils who had just run halfway to the stretcher team and the military doctors, when suddenly several shells fell down, and they died miserably under the fire.
The devil's medical staff were either killed or bombed and couldn't find the north, no matter how the wounded devil soldiers screamed, it was useless, they could only wait for death.
"Damn the Chinese artillerymen, I fought with you !!"
"Pay attention to concealment, Baga, don't run around!!"
The devil soldiers ran and shouted in a chaotic manner on the position, and the enemy was crushed by artillery fire.
The commander of the devil on the front line hid under the bunker tunnel, and he hurriedly ordered the signal corps to call for artillery support.
"Report to the Wing Commander, I can't contact the command ......"
The artillery fire outside was so fierce that the telephone lines that the devils had just pulled up were blown up, and the communication between the front-line devils and the command headquarters was cut off.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
The Devil Wing Captain scolded angrily.
"Signal soldier, quickly send a telegram to the detachment headquarters and ask for artillery support!"
"Hayi!"
In response, the signal corps hurriedly sent a telegram to the detachment headquarters for help.
……
At this time, the artillery of the national army outside Madang Fortress was shelling the front line positions of the devils.
Chen Xiuping gave an order to the troops, but the artillerymen made a lot of money and covered the artillery fire without counting the ammunition.
The artillery of the national army concentrated its superiority in artillery fire, did not give the devil soldiers a chance to breathe at all, and bombed every corner of the devil's frontline positions in turn.
The cannonballs explode carpetly, and the artillery fire ruthlessly ravages the devil soldiers.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of explosions continued to sound, and the sky was filled with flames.
The front-line positions were repeatedly bombarded by shells, sand and shrapnel were splashed everywhere, and many pillbox fortifications were destroyed by shells.
The little devil lost the defensive protection of the bunker, and nearly 100 people were blown to pieces on the spot, and they didn't even have a chance to scream.
"Get down, get down and hide !!"
The devil soldiers lying on the ground, although they can dodge the damage of shrapnel, but the concussion of the shells is also very deadly. 27KK
Many shells fell in the fortifications, a large group of devil soldiers were blown into the air, the enemy's body was torn into several pieces, and bloody stumps and broken arms were splashed everywhere.
"Uhhhh!!h
The screams on the battlefield were accompanied by explosions, and countless devils were killed in the artillery fire.
The artillery units of the National Army, equipped with the largest caliber artillery are Krupp 105-mm howitzers.
Such howitzers can only be equipped with elite units of the national army, and the 105-mm howitzer is a large area as soon as it explodes, and the effective killing range is tens of meters to 100 meters.
The enemy on the front-line positions was simply unable to launch a counterattack, and the devils only had mortars and Jiuershan artillery on the front line, and such small-caliber artillery could not compete with the Krupp 105-mm artillery of the national army.
"Yaga, damn the Chinese artillery!!"
"What are our artillery doing, why haven't they fought back yet???!!!"
The enemy crumbled and shouted, and the devil soldiers stumbled and crawled under the trench fortifications.
The devil soldiers did not dare to jump out of the bunker fortifications at all, and as soon as they got out, they would be killed by falling shells.
As soon as the artillery commander received the order of the detachment, he immediately launched a counterattack against the artillery unit of the national army.
The Hata detachment was a detachment formation, and its strength was comparable to that of a brigade, however, the number of artillery was much higher than that of a brigade.
Moreover, the Potian detachment was armed with more than a dozen Type 96 150-mm large-caliber howitzers.
This howitzer has extremely high accuracy, with a firing range of up to twelve kilometers and an effective firing range of eight kilometers, and is touted by the Japanese Marine Forces as one of the most perfect large-caliber howitzers.
The Type 96 150mm howitzer is the best long-range attack weapon of the Potian detachment and a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications.
Soon, more than a dozen howitzers of the devil aimed at the artillery positions of the national army outside the Madang defense line, as well as the gunboats shelling in the middle of the river.
The heavy artillery position of the devil was built on the top of the hill, the gun emplacements were well concealed, there were strong fortifications around it, and some anti-aircraft artillery was also arranged.
The devil commander raised the command knife in his hand and shouted at the artillerymen on the position.
"Artillery attack, destroy the gunboats of the China Navy in the middle of the river!!"
"Artillery attack, blow up the artillery positions in China!!"
The devil's ammunition man quickly filled the shell into the barrel, and the artillery fired out continuously.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
From the top of the hill there was a loud and muffled sound of shelling.
Dense shells flew out of the positions one after another, whistling across the river, and smashing into the national gunboats in the distance.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Soon, there was an explosion on the bank of the river, and the flames of the explosion flickered.
A number of shells exploded in the waters around the Nationalist gunboats, and high columns of water rose on the river, splashing and shrapnel in all directions. ,
Several shells hit a gunboat on the river, and the gunboat shook several times.
Then there was an explosion and fire on the ship, the battery was also destroyed by the shells, and the barrel parts were blown into the river.
"Uhhh......h
More than a dozen artillery soldiers of the national army, drenched in blood, fell on the battery and died on the spot.
The 150-mm howitzer was so powerful that it pierced the hull deck of the gunboat, and even the cockpit of the gunboat was damaged.
The gunboat broke down on the river, and there was a problem with the power compartment in front.
The gunboat was badly damaged and could not be transferred for a while, and became a live target for the devil's artillery.
Soon, several more shells smashed on the hull of the gunboat.
"Boom !!"
A loud explosion sounded from the gunboat, and the hull was torn apart by shells.
