Chapter 211: Tunnel Defense (Sixth Watch)
The little devil is going to fight hard, this is, so many shells, what a lot of hatred we have pulled! ”
Feeling the obvious vibration above his head, Liu Xin patted the dirt on his body and couldn't help teasing.
"Can there be no hatred? Basically, all 12 mountain guns of a complete artillery brigade fell into our hands, and that was a good thing.
You must know that the division of a German armor division has 12 75mm mountain guns, and that is a German armor division. Now there are many divisions of the Central Army, and there are only a few mountain guns, think about how valuable these 11 Type 94 75mm mountain guns are. Wang Yanqing sighed.
To be honest, he thought it was a dream, but it was real.
11 75mm mountain guns, and so many shells, they have a German division of artillery in one regiment, and this is no one.
"It's useless to say this now, it depends on whether you can take these artillery with you when you retreat later. If you can't take it away, you can only blow it up, and you can't leave it for the devil. Leng Jie said.
"I saw this artillery, it can be disassembled, and the heaviest ones are the gun carriage and barrel, which may be about 200 catties. When it came time to retreat, even if it was carried by a few people, some of them had to be carried away.
With these artillery, it will be much easier for us to fight in the future. If you are always bombed by devils, you should also blow up devils. "Wang Yanqing has taken a fancy to this Type 94 75mm mountain cannon anyway.
At present, the main artillery of the Chinese army is the imitation of the Japanese 41 Type 75mm mountain gun or the Swedish Bofors 75mm howitzer.
The former weighed 200 kilograms heavier than the Type 94 and had a range of 2 kilometers shorter; The latter also weighs 200 kg more than the Type 94, but has a range of almost a kilometer farther than the Type 94.
If there is Bofors artillery, it will be good, but with the situation of the 108th regiment, it will definitely not be obtained. And to a certain extent, the Type 94 75mm mountain gun, which is better than Bofors, is lighter and easier to transport.
This is also why the Type 94 75mm mountain gun is mainly equipped with the artillery wing of the field division in the Japanese army, while the Type 41 75mm mountain gun is equipped with an infantry wing or infantry brigade.
"It depends on the situation, when it is time to retreat, you may not be able to take all 11 mountain guns with you." Leng Jie said, "When the artillery is heard, I will order to go down, let the artillery be ready, support the No. 2 high ground at any time, and not sit back and watch the Japanese army destroy our tunnels." ”
Most of the Japanese artillery fire fell on Heights No. 2 and its vicinity, and the intention was also obvious, that is, to clear the Chinese troops in Heights No. 2 and nearby tunnels first.
As long as the Japanese army did not attack all the heights at the same time, the remaining highlands would definitely support the highlands attacked by the Japanese.
Zhao Cheng, the commander of the artillery company on the side, nodded, "Don't worry, the regiment commander, the artillery company will definitely complete the task." ”
"Remember to hide well, the three mountain guns must be separated, so as not to be destroyed by the retaliatory artillery fire of the Japanese army." Leng Jie reminded.
Just when Leng Jie was arranging here, the Japanese artillery fire slowly weakened, and according to the Japanese army's attack method, they should have come up at this time.
Under the cover of artillery fire, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers from the Japanese Yamada Brigade and another Suzuki Brigade scattered in twos and threes with guns in their hands and began to attack the No. 6 Heights.
Suzuki Shaosa didn't know what was going on in this tunnel, but Yamada Shaosa knew that he had suffered a big loss on this mountain before, losing hundreds of people.
In this attack, Yamada Shaoza also intends to be bloody.
"Yamada-kun, it's shameful that you lost so much by the people of China." Suzuki Shaosa couldn't help but scoff.
"Suzuki-kun, I hope you can still laugh later." Yamada Shaozo didn't care, only when the other party suffered a loss, he knew the difficulty of this Chinese army.
Just as these Japanese soldiers had crossed the ridgeline of Heights No. 6, gunshots rang out on Heights No. 2 on the opposite side.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a Japanese soldier fell directly to the ground.
"Yaga, do you see the enemy? Just shoot? When Suzuki heard the gunshots, he thought it was his own men who had gone off.
But soon, there was a dense burst of gunfire from the opposite No. 2 Heights, a large number of bullets were poured down on the Japanese troops who entered the No. 6 Heights, and there were shells in the middle, which were mortar shells.
Mortars are actually more suitable for this kind of terrain, because of their curved trajectory, they can avoid those obstacles, and they can also effectively hide their positions.
After all, mortars are very lightweight, and you can run if you hit them.
The well-trained Japanese troops looked for a place to hide, although the gunfire was intensive, but in fact, the Japanese losses were not large, and the bullets and shells just now only caused more than a dozen casualties.
Because the formation of the Japanese troops was scattered, the shells blew down, and only two or three people were injured.
"See, the bullets are coming from the opposite high ground, and so are the shells, and the mortar is still behind the high ground, and I don't know where it is.
When we wanted to clear the Chinese people from the pit under our feet, our backs were left to the Chinese army on the opposite high ground. Yamada Shaoza said sarcastically.
Suzuki Shaosa's face was a little ugly, and he immediately ordered his troops, part of which was to attack the No. 2 high ground opposite, and part of which was responsible for clearing the tunnels of the No. 6 high ground.
However, the Japanese soon discovered another problem, that is, when they attacked Heights 2, they were also attacked by Heights 5 and 7 on the flanks.
At this time, the Japanese army realized that these highlands seemed to be independent of each other, but in fact they were a whole, and as long as they attacked one of the highlands, they would be attacked by the others.
In this way, they will not be able to attack a high ground with all their might, and they will still have to clear the Chinese troops who have already captured the trenches of their positions, and they will have to attack the Chinese troops on the flanks separately.
As a result, the forces of the Japanese army would be seriously dispersed.
Fortunately, the Japanese army concentrated one and a half brigades of troops this time, which was enough.
At the same time as attacking the No. 2 heights, Suzuki Shaosa divided a squadron of troops to clear the Chinese soldiers from the tunnels on the No. 6 heights.
。。。。。。
Chen Taixiong, a 26-year-old soldier of the Suzuki Brigade of the Potian Detachment, participated in the Battle of Songhu, the attack on Madang Fortress, Hukou and other operations, and was also promoted from a private to a private, and is now also a team leader.
Although he has a Chinese name, he also has a Japanese name, and he is always used in the army, which is Yasuo Matsuura.
And he was also proud to be a member of the Japanese army, and in his bones, he did not consider himself Chinese.
So during the Battle of Songhu, he even killed many Chinese soldiers and civilians with bayonets.
"Report, a hole has been found."
Seeing the hole with a diameter of about half a meter, the military cao next to him was a little hesitant.
Someone next to him suggested that it should be blown up directly, but the lesson of the previous Nagai brigade was that it was useless to blow up.
Juncao, who was born in Japan, glanced at Yasuo Matsuura and ordered, "You and your people go in and see what is going on, and find a way to drive out the people inside." ”
