Chapter 773: Preventing Japanese Reinforcements (5)
The accuracy of the cannons of the security regiment decreased, which greatly affected the suppression effect of the artillery fire.
Originally, the number of cannons was not much, and it was difficult for the artillery fire to bomb intensively to destroy the enemy ships, and they could barely compete with the devil's naval guns.
The artillery fire of the security regiment weakened, and the naval gunners of the devils immediately seized the fighters and carried out a frantic counterattack.
The cannon struggled to cope with the devil's naval artillery, and the artillery battle between the two sides looked evenly matched, but it would not be long before the enemy's artillery superiority would soon be revealed.
Li Hong observed the devil warship sailing in the distance, and he estimated the current battle situation, and naturally knew the advantage of the devil's gun. 、
The reason why the artillery fire of the security regiment was dominant was because it took the devil warship by surprise, destroyed part of the enemy's naval guns, and disrupted the enemy's offensive rhythm.
When the little devil navy comes back to its senses and stands on its feet, it will be difficult for the artillery unit of the security regiment to parry the devil's naval guns.
Li Hong saw that the artillery was going to suffer, but he was still calm and composed, without the slightest anxiety in his heart.
In this case, he can still maintain his composure, not because of his good psychological quality, but because he has a hand.
Using warplanes to deal with the warships of the devils is the best battle plan.
Of course, it is very difficult for planes to carry out bombing missions at night, and it is even more difficult to bomb mobile warships on the river.
The Devil's warships not only move on the river, but also the Devil's warships are equipped with quite a few anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers.
The enemy's anti-aircraft fire was so powerful that it was another difficulty for the pilots.
Soon, Li Hong asked the communications corps to connect with the flying group.
"Tuanzao, Captain Yang's phone is connected!"
The communications soldier shouted at Li Hong outside the headquarters.
Li Hong walked into the headquarters quickly, put the phone to his ear and asked, "Captain Yang, under such conditions at night, can your flight brigade take to the air to fight?" ”
The stars are sparse and the moon is bright at night, and such a conditional environment is no problem for Li Hong, who has opened the hanging, to fly the plane to carry out combat missions.
It's just that the pilots are ordinary people, they don't have plug-ins and protagonist halos, and flying at night is a huge challenge for the pilots.
After a few seconds, Yang Chen replied without hesitation: "Tuanzao, our flight team has no problems, we can deal with any difficulties, and my brothers and I can take to the air at any time,!" ”
"Good!"
The two didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.
At this time, the devil warships on the Yangtze River have been suppressed by some artillery fire, and they already have a little respite and advantage.
Seeing that the artillery of the security regiment was suppressed, the devils in the cockpit manipulated the warship to quickly speed up and rush through the Nanshan blockade line.
Li Hong returned to his position and continued to observe the battle situation, watching the two Japanese warships rushing towards the blockade line desperately, he secretly felt bad in his heart.
The blockade line of the Yangtze River by the artillery of the security regiment was less than 10 kilometers long from the southern line to the northern front, and if any Japanese warship was allowed to cross the blockade line, it would pose a threat to the national army attacking Madang Fortress.
Therefore, Li Hong proceeded from the overall situation of the campaign, even if he risked the destruction of the artillery position by the enemy, he had to prevent the Japanese army from reinforcing Madang Fortress.
Instead, he gave an order to the artillery unit to concentrate artillery fire on the two warships in front of the devil who were trying to break through the blockade line.
"Brothers, don't let the little devil warship rush through the blockade and open fire!!"
"Brothers, fire the !!"
Braving the rain of enemy shells, the artillerymen of the security regiment swore to stick to the artillery positions and attack the enemy warships with artillery.
At one time, MLRS, howitzers from several positions shelled together.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Tom, tom, tom......"
Dense shells flew like locusts to the Yangtze River.
The Devil warship, which was sailing in the river, was bombarded by dozens of shells, the hull of the ship was damaged, and the deck exploded and caught fire.
Because the Devil's warship sailed very fast, the smashed cannonballs did not hit the important buildings on the Devil's warship.
The devil's warship was rampant in the river, and during the voyage, the devil's gunners kept returning fire.
A few minutes later, the shells of the Devil's naval guns flew at a gallop and bombarded the artillery positions of the security regiment intensively. ,
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Large-caliber shells exploded everywhere, and explosions came and went.
The multiple rocket launchers of the security regiment are flexible and mobile, and can move around the position at any time, and it is very convenient to transfer the artillery position.
However, the artillery positions of the howitzers and mountain guns of the security regiment were fixed on the gun emplacements, and once they were accurately hit by the devil's artillery fire, there was no time to disassemble the artillery and transfer it.
As the shells rained down, the artillery positions were ploughed all over the ground as if they were plowing for a kilometer. The explosion of flames instantly engulfed a howitzer position of the security regiment.
"Beware of the devil's naval artillery, hide, hide quickly!!"
The devil's naval artillery shells fell like meteorites, and in an instant, the fierce artillery fire destroyed the defensive bunkers on the artillery positions.
The originally strong defensive walls and forts were directly torn apart by enemy shells, and buildings on the ground were blown up in all directions.
The artillery of the Security Regiment, which opened fire on the position, was killed by shrapnel and concussion, and suffered heavy casualties.
"Uhhh......h
There was a painful sound from the artillery positions, and dozens of artillerymen died under enemy fire.
The howitzer position of the security regiment turned into a sea of fire, and all six 105-mm howitzers on the position were blown up by the devil's naval guns, and there were fragments of artillery parts and artillery corpses everywhere.
The war was so cruel that no matter how tenacious the fighting will of the artillery of the security regiment was, the inferior artillery still could not defeat the Japanese naval guns.
When Li Hong saw that the howitzer position was destroyed by the enemy, he was very distressed in his heart, knowing that this loss was the entire artillery company.
To do a good job in such an artillery company, it takes a lot of effort, and Li Hong can systematically change the warehouse when the artillery is gone, but these experienced artillerymen cannot be trained in a few days.
Li Hong suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly commanded the artillery operations in various positions......
Half an hour passed.
After an artillery battle between the two sides, the security regiment did its best to prevent the Japanese warships from passing through the blockade line, and also damaged two artillery positions.
In order to cover the passage of the two warships in front of them through the Yangtze River blockade line, the Devil's Navy also paid a huge price in casualties.
One of the devil's destroyers and a frigate were blown up by shells, the navy soldiers on the warship were killed and wounded, and the corpses of the devils were floating on the river.
The Devil Warship Squadron in front of it was originally four warships, and now there are only two warships left to cross the blockade line.
