Chapter 272: Type 92 Infantry Cannon Shoots Straight At!
The fierce battle immediately began, and Ueno Kanichiro personally supervised the two Japanese army wings, totaling more than 6,300 Japanese troops, through the river bridge and the fishing boats of the people in the surrounding areas along the river that had been looted, and the strength was able to move south down the tributary to launch a strong attack on the joint defensive positions of the 1st and 4th battalions on the south bank.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The shells fired under the command of Oda Masakazu, the commander of the devil's artillery, were overwhelmingly shelling the positions on the south bank held by the two battalions, and the new regimental positions on the south bank were bombarded all over the sky, which was completely apocalyptic!
Fortunately, the new artillery battalion deployed in the high ground of Wei County, under the command of Wang Chengzhu, concentrated artillery fire to suppress Oda Masakazu's devil artillery position to support the defense of the defenders on the south bank.
However, at this time, the devils began to forcibly cross the river, because the river bridge from the north bank to the south bank of the river is actually a brick and stone structure, which is the only passage from Wei County to the north area. At first, Li Yunlong still wanted to blow up the river bridge, but after the war, it would be very troublesome to repair it.
Therefore, according to the current situation of the new regiment, sooner or later it will have to fight a decisive battle with the little devils in the area between the north gate of Ul County and the south bank and the main force of Matsui Shigen. Then, it is only a matter of time before the devils are let go of the south bank to fight.
Therefore, the river bridge was not blown up, and the three Type 94 light tanks of the devils reached the south bank through the river bridge under the cover of their artillery fire.
Then, a group of devil infantry behind the tank forcibly followed the tank with their bodies on their backs and trembled towards the south bank.
And for a while, it was impossible for more than 6,300 Japanese troops to cross the south bank through only one river bridge. Therefore, the looted fishing boats were used to carry the devil soldiers to forcibly cross the river together, but in the process of crossing the river, Wang Chengzhu's artillery position in the city of Wei County also kept in touch with the sentinels who observed the Japanese army's crossing of the river.
And this hand caused some of the devils who were forced to cross the river by fishing boats were smashed by the fishing boats bombed by artillery fire and fell into the river to feed the fish.
"Eight Tooth Road! Contact Oda Masakazu and suppress the enemy's artillery positions in the city with artillery fire. Such a forced crossing of the river was bombarded by a new regiment, and before crossing the river, many imperial warriors were lost. Putting down the observation binoculars, Kanichiro Ueno shouted to a devil brigade staff officer beside him.
The devil's staff officer paused and said, "Hai, brigade commander!" Then walked back less than a few meters to pick up the field phone on the table, Missy Mishi's contact with the artillery commander of the 3rd Division, Oda Masakazu.
However, at this time, Oda Masakazu was crying, Wang Chengzhu's artillery counterattack came quickly, and most of them were Type 92 infantry guns produced by devils.
Oda Masakazu, who was familiar with the sound of artillery battles, was directing the artillery to transfer artillery positions from time to time at this time, so that the artillery support for the devils who were crossing the river to storm the blocking positions jointly defended by the 1st and 4th battalions of the new regiment on the south bank was very embarrassing.
After receiving the contact from Kanichiro Ueno, Masakazu Oda only had no choice but to call back Kanichiro Ueno to provide artillery support as much as possible to cover the devil soldiers who crossed the river.
At this time, the artillery battle continued, and the two sides went back and forth.
A part of the Japanese troops who had already assaulted the south bank area through the river bridge, under the cover of three Type 94 light tanks, began to launch a murderous onslaught on the positions of the 1st Battalion and the 4th Battalion defending the south bank.
"Kill! Warriors, for the sake of the Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, kill the twitter! Kill all the new men! Kill! ”
With a sonorous sound, I saw the commander of the 18th Infantry Wing, Takeuchi Taneki Daisa, pull out the command saber he was carrying, and press it sharply forward, and then shouted angrily!
Not only Takeuchi planted trees, but also Yokota Shika, the commander of the 34th Infantry Wing of the Japanese army that led most of the wing, according to the combat deployment of Kanichiro Ueno, he roared with Takeuchi and pulled out the samurai saber command post to launch a strong attack.
I saw two Japanese wing commanders commanding the post headquarters to attack the positions held by the 1st and 4th Battalions respectively, and the 37 mm caliber guns and one 7.7 mm 92 machine gun on the three Devil Type 94 ultralight tanks continued to fire and strafe the positions of the new regiment in front.
"Boom, boom!! Dadada!! ”
The 37-millimeter tank gun and a 7.7-millimeter-caliber Type 92 heavy machine gun on the vehicle opened fire and strafed fiercely, and they looked very ferocious.
However, if the caliber of the tank gun and the vehicle-mounted fire of a Type 92 heavy machine gun were to face the previous defense of the Nationalist Army, it was possible to exert a certain offensive effect.
However, all the units of the new regiment, especially the troops of several main battalions, were elite units that had fought old battles. I also met the devil's tank, not to mention the extent that this Xiaodou tank can penetrate its armor even with rifle and machine gun fire at close range, which is really not worth worrying about Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie.
Previously, Zhang Dabiao had already followed Li Yunlong's order to directly pull the five Little Devil Type 92 infantry guns captured in previous battles to the front-line forward position and hide them, preparing to concentrate artillery fire at close range to kill the devil's tank.
And at this time, the little devil tank opened artillery and strafed violently, and when he saw the forward positions of the first and fourth battalions suppressed, his morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and he felt that the new regiment that was rumored to be divine was not very strong, and it would not be the end of the strong crossbow, right?
The devil tankers muttered to themselves in the car, but the machine gunners and gunners did not stop firing and firing for a moment!
"Good! Yo West! Order Takeuchi to plant trees and Yokota deer, and whether they can break through the enemy's position on the south bank in one fell swoop depends on them! Once the enemy's position on the south bank is penetrated, the infantry crossing the river will be able to take advantage of the situation to cover the kill! Kanichiro Ueno, who was observing the fierce battle in the temporary brigade headquarters in the North Shore area, said with relief to the devil staff officer on the side.
The devil's staff officer paused: "Hai, Your Excellency the brigade commander!" ", and then hurriedly made a battlefield phone call to give orders to the devils in front.
However, at this time, in the new regiment position on the south bank, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, both sneered at the corners of their mouths.
Zhang Dabiao, in particular, had already seen in the bunker headquarters that the devil's artillery fire was beginning to weaken, because his tanks and the large force of infantry behind the tanks had already assaulted to a distance of less than 50 meters from the forward positions jointly guarded by the 1st and 4th Battalions.
"Order the artillery detachment, concentrate artillery fire, and blow up the devil tank. Shoot straight at and kill! Although Zhang Dabiao was the commander of the infantry battalion, he was also familiar with artillery, so he directly picked up the field phone to contact the commander of the artillery detachment at the front and ordered him to use five hidden Type 92 infantry guns to flatten and target the devil tank for direct bombardment.
As long as the devil's Type 94 tank is hit by one or two shots from artillery, the three Type 94 ultralight tanks that are enough to blow up the devil will completely return to the state of parts. If the devil saw the tank killed by the Type 92 infantry cannon produced by himself, he might be even more angry.
