Chapter 256: The Battle of Nanchang (10) (Five Watches, Ask for Support, Subscribe, Reward, and Vote)
Before, it was an ordinary 75mm field gun, but now the muzzle of the gun is significantly thicker, so there is only one possibility --- heavy artillery!
"Quick, get into the underground command post! Fast! ”
Leng Jie put down the binoculars and shouted.
"What's wrong? Why go in? ”
"The devil's heavy artillery is on the other side!"
Hearing the heavy artillery, everyone became anxious, and hurriedly headed towards the underground command post, and at the same time, Leng Jie also asked the rest of the regiment headquarters to be prepared.
Just as Leng Jie was going downstairs quickly, a loud roar sounded in the sky on the other side of the Ganjiang River!
Unlike the previous sounds before the shelling, this time the screams were deeper and longer.
Although hearing the sound may not be the bombing of the 120th regiment's station, but who knows if there will be stray bullets, heavy artillery shells, falling one down, it is all a big pit, not a joke.
When Leng Jie and the others entered the underground headquarters, the Japanese artillery was still not intensive, because it was only a test firing, and the Japanese army also needed to correct the firing parameters through the test firing.
"Why isn't there so much movement?" Ma Peiji couldn't help but ask.
"That's the devil adjusting the shooting parameters, and you can feel the power of the artillery fire later."
Sure enough, the artillery unit of the devil soon began a large-scale shelling!
Five minutes later, the entire Nanchang City was filled with the sound of endless shell screams!
The sound was even more harsh, making people feel very uncomfortable listening to it, and they felt that their hearts couldn't help but burst.
Even if the headquarters was located several meters underground, even if the shells did not fall on the head of the headquarters, the ground under their feet began to shake violently, and the sand on the top fell from time to time.
After a while, huge explosions sounded one after another from the south of Nanchang City.
According to the bombardment, the focus of the devils was on the positions of the pre-10th division and the 119th regiment in the southeast.
Thinking of Wang Yanqing and them, Leng Jie was also a little worried, and he didn't know how many former acquaintances would be left after this battle.
"Regiment commander, don't you want to find a way to blow up these devil heavy artillery!"
Feeling the power of the heavy artillery, Wang Guangming said on the side.
"This is the artillery of a heavy artillery brigade, and it must be defended by the Japanese army, and it is difficult to rely on the special combat team alone." Leng Jie said in a deep voice.
"Commander, you have to try it, you can't watch the devil's artillery fire be so arrogant." Wang Guangming was unwilling.
"Wait until the evening, just try it, but you have to wait until the evening, and you have to pretend to be the Japanese army, otherwise you won't be able to get close to the devil's heavy artillery." Leng Jie said, "Do you know Japanese?" ”
Although they have learned Japanese, in fact, Wang Guangming and others are half-witted in Japanese, so it is easy to be detected by the Japanese army.
"Isn't that Chen Taixiong? Let him come along! Wang Guangming suggested.
"Him?" Leng Jie remembered the Taiwanese soldier of the Potian detachment he captured, "Then you have to keep an eye on him!" ”
This means that Leng Jie still agreed to the action, whether it succeeds or not, he has to try, he can't get used to seeing the devil so arrogant.
。。。。。。
The little devil's shells were as if they couldn't be finished, and the whole shelling lasted for about half an hour.
Half an hour of shelling, the Chinese army can basically only think about it, and few Chinese troops can carry such extravagant shelling.
One has no guns; Second, even if there is a cannon, there are not so many shells.
At this time, China's military industrial capacity was very poor because of the lack of attention of the Nationalist Government, and before the Anti-Japanese War, those arsenals were still established by those warlords in the late Qing Dynasty or the early Republic of China.
This is true for companies like the Hanyang Arsenal, the Gongxian Arsenal, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the Jinling Arsenal.
What's even funnier is that most of the machinery and equipment in these arsenals are still purchased in the early years of the Republic of China, and even the artillery purchased at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
In the so-called golden decade of the Nationalist Government, the strength of China's arsenal did not grow, except for the fact that rifles could be produced by itself, the output of artillery was not as good as year by year, and even to the point that it needed to be purchased.
This also has to do with the fact that the Nationalist Government was a government supported by the comprador class, and the development of heavy industry was slow throughout the golden decade.
Moreover, during the Anti-Japanese War, there was no plan to relocate in advance, which led to the destruction of some machines.
If the Nationalist Government had invested a little more in the arsenal, it would not have to buy even basic rifles and ammunition.
At the train station, Wang Yanqing also hid from the heavy artillery of the Japanese army at the underground headquarters.
The railway station was also within the range of the Japanese shelling, so it was also bombarded by a lot of shells.
Wang Yanqing is no stranger to heavy artillery, and when the fortress of Fuchikou was in Fuchikou, the heavy artillery used by the Japanese army even had a caliber of more than 200mm.
But at that time, they were in underground tunnels, and they were still in anticline positions, so the Japanese heavy artillery had no problem with them.
But this time is different!
They were in the plains, and although there were buildings, they could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery shells.
Wang Yanqing didn't know how long it was, and he didn't dare to get up until the feeling that the earth was trembling under him was much smaller.
Is the shelling of the devils finally over?
Wang Yanqing opened his eyes and got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, and rubbed his ears, although it was more comfortable, his ears were still a little buzzing.
But when he opened his eyes completely, everywhere he entered, there was thick gunsmoke, which made him very uncomfortable and blocked his vision.
After a while, the smoke that hung over the position slowly dispersed.
Only then did Wang Yanqing see the surrounding situation clearly: the entire position was in a mess, there was no one intact building in sight, and there were ruins and broken walls everywhere.
While the men from the Underground Command were sorting out the mess, he made his way to the observation and found that a part of the train station building was starting to crumble.
When he looked over, a corner of the station building collapsed with a bang, and the railway station position was once again billowing with smoke and dust, rubble and wood chips were splashed everywhere, and a puff of smoke and dust also poured towards the observation port, and Wang Yanqing covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Wang Yanqing also saw the situation on the other side of the battlefield.
More than 1,000 meters away, groups of devil infantry had already launched another attack under the cover of more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, holding 38 large canopies with bayonets on them.
Through the binoculars, you can see that these devils are full of smiles on their faces.
This is also normal, in the minds of normal people, under the kind of artillery fire just now, no one can survive.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, they are now just coming to harvest wheat.
However, the Japanese still underestimated the 119th Regiment, and after the shelling, one soldier after another began to rise up on the originally calm position, putting light and heavy machine guns on the position.
There were figures everywhere, but they all had a thick layer of dirt on them, and apparently they didn't have time to shake them off.
Seeing this situation, Wang Yanqing's heart began to relax, and he shouted, "All of them, ready to fight!" ”
