Chapter 767: Surprising Victory (1)
The battle on the tidal flats along the Yangtze River came to an end, and the security regiment smashed the operational plan of the Japanese army's assault on the river-crossing troops.
At this time, the Madang Fortress in the distance was still engaged in fierce battles.
The Nationalist troops concentrated the fire of two artillery regiments and launched a carpet bombardment of the forward positions of the Potian detachment guarding the Madang fortress.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the national army launched a landing attack on Madang Fortress in large and small ships.
While the national army troops and the devil soldiers guarding the position were fighting fiercely, the special combat team of the security regiment quietly climbed up from the cliff of Madang Fortress.
Unbeknownst to the enemy, the special operations team managed to climb the cliff and lower the long rope ladder.
The 49th Army of the National Army, which served as the main attacker, deliberately selected a group of officers and soldiers who were agile, and with the help of the special combat team of the security regiment, they climbed the rope ladder and successfully climbed to Madang Fortress.
The devil soldiers guarding Madang Fortress were busy dealing with the frontal attack of the national army, and the enemy did not even notice that a strange army would climb up from the cliff on the flank.
The number of personnel in this carefully selected surprise army is not very large, and including the special combat team of the security regiment, there are only 300 people.
However, these officers and men have rich combat experience, and all of them are equipped with automatic firepower, which is a sharp blade inserted into the enemy's position.
You don't need too many people as a raiding force, in fact, too many people don't have any advantage at night, but it will affect your actions.
The main task of the raiding troops is not to seize the position and have a frontal battle with the devil defenders, but to face the devil soldiers head-on, just a few hundred of them are not enough for the devil to plug his teeth. ,
They quietly touched the devil's position, and they came to the devil's position to sabotage and destroy some of the devil's important positions and targets......
The artillery units of the national army moved out all the shells, and they kept firing at the forward positions of Madang, not counting the ammunition.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
Heavy shelling rang out one after another. ,
The artillery units of the national army concentrated mortars, field artillery, mountain artillery, and artillery of various calibers added up to more than a hundred.
The scene of a salvo of 100 artillery guns was spectacular, and dense shells flew out of the artillery positions.
The night sky was lit up by artillery fire, and the rain of shells smashed into the positions guarded by the devils like a sea of cannons.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
At the forward position of the devils, an explosion sounded.
Dense shells exploded everywhere in the forward positions of the devils, and the artillery fire repeatedly bombarded every inch of land like a plow.
A large number of machine-gun bunker fortifications were built in the forward positions of the devils, and the overall defense was very strong, and it was difficult for artillery fire to destroy the enemy's fortifications, which could only suppress the devils.
Of course, the devil officers and soldiers are not vegetarians, and they cannot defeat the little devils by relying only on the artillery fire of two artillery regiments.
You must know that the Potian detachment is an elite unit of devils, equipped with many artillery pieces, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.
Soon, the devil heavy artillery unit on the mountainside launched a long-range artillery counterattack against the artillery unit of the national army.
"Artillery attack quickly and destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese army!!"
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
An artillery battle was fought between the artillery of both sides, and countless shells flew in the sky.
Don't look at the main force of the little devil There is only one detachment, but the number of artillery equipped by the devil is far less than that of the national army, and the caliber of the artillery is still larger than that of the national army.
There is no way, there is a huge disparity in the comparative strength of the artillery of the two sides, this is a fact, the devil is far superior to the national army in terms of heavy firepower weapons.
As soon as the devil's artillery unit launched an artillery attack, it was tantamount to exposing its own artillery position.
The devil's artillery counterattacked at will, because the devil's commander was well aware of the artillery fire of the national army, and the artillery fire of the national army could not compete with the Japanese army at all, so the enemy's artillery counterattack would have no scruples.
It's just that the little devil is too blindly confident and underestimates the strength of the Chinese army.
The enemy would not have thought at all that the raiding forces of the Chinese army had already taken aim at the heavy artillery positions of the devils.
There were not too many guards around the devil's artillery position, and the special combat team of the security regiment was the elite of sneak attacks and sabotage, so the enemy's artillery position was easily broken through by taking advantage of the situation.
After more than ten minutes, suddenly, a shocking explosion sounded from the devil's heavy artillery position.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The sound of a huge explosion spread more than ten kilometers away, and I saw that the artillery position of the devils turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
The soldiers of the special combat team of the security regiment successfully blew up the ammunition depot on the artillery position of the devils, and boxes of shells exploded at the same time, and the waves of fire flew to a height of several tens of meters.
The huge explosive energy generated by these shells seemed to destroy the world, and the powerful shock wave destroyed all living objects within a range of 500 meters.
Many strong bunker fortifications were like tofu scum fortifications in the face of the big explosion, and the originally strong fortifications were destroyed only a pile of cement ruins.
Dozens of large-caliber artillery pieces of the devils were all destroyed, and countless devil soldiers were killed and wounded on the artillery positions.
After the explosion, some devil soldiers near the explosion site scrambled to escape from the explosion fire.
"Uhhh......h
"Run, Run!!"
Some devils escaped from the fire, but many more little devils died in the fire.
The powerful explosion was so terrifying that the headquarters of the Japanese detachment hidden in the bunker fortifications were destroyed, and the devil officers in the headquarters felt a strong shock.
The Devil's headquarters desk overturned, and various communication equipment fell to the ground.
At the same time, the captain of the devil's detachment was also dizzy, his body lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and several pieces of solid fortification wood smashed his head and bleed.
"Detachment Leader, Detachment Leader, Detachment Leader!!"
"Medic, General Hatada is injured, come over quickly!!"
The devil officers and soldiers in the headquarters hurriedly helped up the leader of the devil detachment, while shouting loudly for the devil's medical personnel.
The Japanese Army's Potian Detachment was the elite of the Japanese Army, and its commanders were good at guarding good deeds, and this unit participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, and the Battle of Wuhan......
The Japanese detachment units are not a fixed combat sequence, and the Japanese army temporarily formed a detachment in order to facilitate operations.
The Japanese detachment is a temporary combat unit, so the number of soldiers is also different, and the firepower is also different.
For example, the Potian detachment guarding Madang Fortress, although the number of infantry is not as large as that of the general A brigade, but the number of various artillery pieces equipped with it far exceeds that of a Japanese brigade.
