Chapter 597: Artillery Battle
With the order of Seishiro Itagaki issued, the little devil began to use reinforcements to bring three 120-mm heavy guns to the north to carry out a fierce bombardment of the new regiment's defensive positions and fortifications at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
"Target Jinlong Gorge Valley Entrance New Regiment Defensive Position, Cluster Bombardment, Preparation, Release!" On the top of Mt. Reipo, the ten miles where Itagaki Seishiro had retreated, three heavy artillery pieces brought by the Japanese reinforcements who reinforced Itagaki Seishiro began to bombard under the loud orders of the artillery commander Ogino Musashi.
I saw that with the order of Takezo Ogino, the Japanese artillery began to operate three heavy guns and fired at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge, where the coordinates of the shelling had already been determined.
"Knock Knock Knock !!" Heavy artillery shells whistled out from the muzzles of the guns, whistling in the sky and smashing into the new defensive positions at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Valley.
At this time, as soon as the little devil's heavy artillery was fired, a huge sound quickly spread to Tianfengling Mountain, which was ten miles away.
Li Yunlong and Wang Chengzhu were standing together at this time, and Wang Chengzhu, who was very keenly hearing, was startled, and his face immediately changed greatly.
"Regiment commander, heavy artillery shelling, quickly hide!" I saw that Wang Chengzhu, who was suddenly discolored, pulled Li Yunlong, who was a little confused, to the ground.
Because the little devil's heavy artillery wanted to shell in the direction of the Jinlongxia Gorge, and not far behind the Jinlongxia Gorge were the peaks of Tianfeng Ridge and Cuiping Peak.
Therefore, Wang Chengzhu thought that the sudden heavy artillery shelling was shelling towards Tianfeng Ridge, and Wang Chengzhu was so frightened that he grabbed Li Yunlong and lay down on the spot to hide.
It was just a huge explosion, which exploded on a new defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Valley, but not on the Tianfeng Ridge Mountain.
In less than half a minute, Zhao Gang, who was in the hidden bunker behind the mouth of the canyon to command and supervise the defense, hurriedly called Li Yunlong on Tianfengling Mountain and said, "Old Li, the little devil has opened fire." There were at least two or three heavy guns, the caliber was about a hundred millimeters, and our pillboxes were hit, although they were not blown up at the first time, but they were already damaged. I'm afraid I can't withstand the heavy artillery bombardment of the other side many times, and the little devil and more than a dozen infantry guns are also bombarded together, and the defensive position of Taniguchi is full of fire. Hurry up, let Wang Chengzhu open fire, artillery support, and suppress the heavy artillery of the little devil! ”。
"I know, Lao Zhao, you have people, you must withstand it. I immediately ordered Wang Chengzhu to use 88mm guns to suppress the opponent's heavy artillery. ”
Li Yunlong hung up the field phone, turned to Wang Chengzhu on the side and said, "Quick, find the opponent's heavy artillery position and suppress the artillery position of the little devil." The mouth of the canyon valley was bombarded by heavy artillery by the Japanese army, and once it could not be suppressed, the consequences were unimaginable. ”。
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission." Wang Chengzhu didn't talk nonsense, he directly stood up and saluted, and then hurriedly rushed to the artillery position behind the mountain to direct the artillery counterattack.
At this time, there was a sea of fire and smoke at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, and the three heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese army under the command of Ogino Takezo blew up some of the fortifications on the defensive position of the new regiment at the mouth of the gorge at once.
Some soldiers who did not have time to avoid the artillery were killed on the spot by the heavy artillery shells of the little devils. Some of these fighters were bleeding from their ears from the huge explosion, and some were shocked only to find out afterwards that their ears were deaf.
"Yo Xi, keep firing!" Putting down the field phone that could be contacted by the headquarters of Seishiro Itagaki , Takezo Ogino waved his hand with a sneer, and continued to order the Japanese artillery under his command to open fire and violently bombard the mouth of the Jinryukyo Gorge.
The Japanese artillery, which had received the order, continued to reload the shells, and immediately opened fire fiercely, and launched a fierce bombardment of the new regiment's defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge valley.
At this time, Seishiro Itagaki and Yamazaki, the commander of the 41st Wing, were looking at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge, which had already been blown up and the mountains were shaking, and the smoke of artillery fire was filled.
"Haha, the heavy artillery of the empire, sure enough, the new defensive position of Taniguchi was blown up in a sea of fire, looking at this situation, at least a few minutes away, it should be able to blow up the fortifications of Taniguchi's Zhina Army. Yamazaki-san, you command the infantry to attack! Take advantage of the fact that the opponent is suppressed by heavy artillery fire, resist and wait for the artillery fire to stop, and attack immediately! ”
Yamazaki said sharply in his eyes: "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander." Obedience! ”。
At this time, the Japanese artillery bombarded the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge non-stop, especially the three heavy artillery brought by the Japanese army to the north with great difficulty, which quickly suppressed the new defensive position of the valley mouth of the canyon, and the thousands of Japanese troops under the command of Yamazaki began to storm the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge.
"For His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Empire, and for the four Imperial Princes who were ambushed by the new group. The warriors of the empire, attack the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, kill the twitters, kill the soldiers of the Shina army, kill the twitters! ”
Yamazaki stood proudly on a small hillside, picked up a katana, slashed down at the new defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, and commanded the Japanese infantry to start attacking.
In this attack, Itagaki Seishiro used the remnants of the 21st Brigade and 2,000 of the 5,000 Japanese troops reinforced by the north, totaling more than 4,500 strong troops, and launched a strong attack on the defensive position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge held by the new regiment with the intensity of a pig assault.
I saw Yamazaki give an order in the air, and more than 4,000 Japanese troops launched a fierce attack on the mouth of the canyon, and the sound of guns and cannons suddenly roared, scattering and splashing bullets in the sky, colliding together, and bursting out fierce sparks.
At this time, the Japanese heavy artillery under the command of Takezo Ogino had stopped shelling, otherwise the heavy artillery shells would have hit the Japanese troops who were attacking in the middle of the charge, and they would have suffered heavy casualties. However, the Japanese infantry artillery that arrived continued to shell the new regiment's position at the mouth of the gorge at close range in the woods of 700 meters under the command of several Japanese artillery commanders to cover the Japanese infantry attack.
"Boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom! "A huge explosion suddenly exploded on the artillery position of Takezo Ogino.,And the shell landed on the heavy artillery position of the little devil very accurately.,Almost killed Takezo Ogino.。。
And this is Wang Chengzhu's 88-mm artillery counterattack, the artillery fire rate of the extremely fast 88-mm anti-aircraft gun has a range of more than 14,000 meters on the ground, and it is actually very effective against the heavy artillery bunker built by Takezo Ogino. Ogino Takesashi, who had not fought with the artillery of the new regiment and did not know that the new regiment had 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, was suddenly beaten by Wang Chengzhu's artillery counterattack and cried for his father. Among them, Wang Chengzhu's first round of artillery counterattack knocked out a heavy cannon of Ogino Takezo.
"Baga Ya Road, fire a cannon counterattack, hurry up!" Ogino Takezo roared angrily and commanded the remaining heavy artillery to quickly fire a counterattack, otherwise the opponent's artillery fire would soon come.
