Chapter 264: The Battle of Artillery

When the Japanese approached the forward position, the Chinese troops were all exposed from the fortifications and fired at the enemy.

There are too many enemies, and it is still daytime, so it is not suitable to hide in the tunnels and attack the enemy's tactics.

Because, after many battles, the enemy has figured out this law and will no longer be easily deceived.

If the enemy advances in front and uses tactics such as repeated searches by infantry, sapper explosions and gas fumigation in the rear, it will be difficult for the underground tunnels to survive and the losses will be significant.

The machine guns of the Chinese army formed a crossfire, strafing and strangling the enemy infantry group.

The intensive machine-gun fire caused the Japanese soldiers to suffer a lot, and there were many casualties.

Japanese tanks and armored vehicles immediately bombed and strafed.

There were short-barreled cannons on the tank, the 57 mm kind, and side-by-side machine guns, which were bombarded and strafed, like a hard-shelled monster, extremely hideous.

The enemy's armored vehicles were also very powerful, generally with four light machine guns, and in some cases two heavy machine guns.

Japanese infantry also fired with accurate rifles, killing and wounding Chinese troops.

The Chinese army, the Pixiu Army, under the command of Han Feng and Zhao Chongguo, confronted the Japanese army.

Although our army does not have tanks and armored vehicles, it has fortifications, trenches, individual pits, bunkers, etc., which are made of a large number of building materials, and occupy a favorable position.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, and each side did not give in to each other, fighting to the death.

Han Feng observed for a while and found that the enemy had a large number of tanks, and in one direction, there were generally about 30 tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles, which were very harmful to our army.

At a distance, our machine guns could not penetrate the frontal deck of enemy armored vehicles, and even more so against enemy tank vehicles.

Seeing that the Japanese had the upper hand under the guidance of enemy tanks and armored vehicles, Han Feng ordered the 37-mm rapid-fire gun to be pulled out.

These cannons were small, and after they were pulled out of the tunnel, they were hidden behind a hill of ruined buildings, with broken walls, a battlefield of desolation and smoke of fire, and collapsed houses, one after another.

First, artillery strikes were inflicted on tank clusters to the east of the enemy.

Han Feng personally manipulated a door.

Aim at the enemy tank and fire!

The rapid-fire cannon has a small body, but it can fire quickly and flatly, facing the enemy's armored targets in front of it, and the effect is very good.

Ten rapid-fire guns, which had just joined the ground, had captured many enemy guns before, and the total number was about twenty.

Shells were fired at the enemy tanks.

Some bombard the frontal armor, some bombard the enemy's tracks, anyway, kill the chicken and kill the X shares, each has its own way of killing.

The battle was fierce.

As soon as the artillery fire came out, it was discovered by the Japanese army.

The Japanese infantry shouted loudly, alerted the armored forces, and also dispersed the infantry groups, or, with rifles, shot at the Chinese artillery, kill!

Japanese armored vehicles, quickly diverting targets, specifically attacked the rapid-fire artillery of the Hanfeng troops.

Some soldiers were just touching the artillery fire and were carrying the shells when they were killed by the enemy's dense rain of bullets.

Japanese tanks, struggling through the ruins of various buildings, also quickly sensed the situation and struck at our artillery with artillery fire, with parallel machine guns.

Artillery casualties were not small.

However, once in combat mode, the shells of the Chinese army rained down on the enemy.

20 shells a minute, which is quite an astonishing speed.

The mortar can also be so fast, however, it is a curved gun, which cannot kill tanks and armored vehicles.

A rapid-fire cannon of Han Feng quickly hit an enemy tank, and the shell penetrated the tank's armor and exploded directly into the enemy vehicle.

Boom, the tank car burst into flames, and quickly burst into flames.

Boom, in less than half a minute, the enemy tank crews, who could not escape, stumbled because they were seriously injured, and as soon as they opened the top cover, they were engulfed in flames and let out a terrible scream.

The shells were all ordinary shells, there were no armor-piercing shells.

That's enough.

Shells bombarded the Japanese tanks one after another, and they were destroyed.

The shells of the Japanese tanks, which were constantly on fire, suddenly made an earth-shattering explosion, and the huge tank body actually exploded more than ten meters high, fell apart, and scattered parts flew out of the distance.

Armored vehicles are much easier to deal with than tank vehicles.

On the rugged garbage heaps of urban buildings, in the mass presence and undulating terrain like mounds, coupled with the large number of anti-tank trenches dug by the Chinese army, armored vehicles could not advance and could only become fixed points of fire.

Some Japanese sappers hurriedly helped, trying to fill in the trenches with sappers.

They also carried a lot of firewood.

A shell blasted over and hit the armored car, which immediately shattered from the middle.

A large hole was blown open, and the enemy crew and combatants inside were killed and wounded by the shock wave and shrapnel.

The battle lasted about a minute, and more than 30 tanks on the east side of the Japanese army were destroyed, 23 were destroyed, and more than 10 armored vehicles were all destroyed.

Flames were steaming and smoke was billowing out. The remnants of the Japanese tankers hurriedly turned around and retreated.

If you don't retreat, you will be wiped out.

The tank forces of the Japanese army never thought that the Chinese army had specially targeted weapons and that they were so skillful.

The battle of firepower between the east and the west is basically over.

While achieving a brilliant victory, the Chinese rapid-fire artillery unit also suffered a third of the casualties. Hurry up and fill it with infantry.

Two rapid-fire guns were damaged.

Having lost the cover of the enemy's tank units, the Japanese offensive immediately weakened considerably weaker. With the Chinese infantry alone, it can be easily blocked.

Han Feng's artillery group, turning around, fired at the enemy's north and south.

This battle was a close battle.

The slow-moving Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were in a very unfavorable situation!

The Chinese rapid-fire artillery, which was basically stationary and fighting, also had a lot of weak points, being targeted and strafed by the enemy, bombing.

This is a struggle of strength.

There is no absolute advantage.

See who can afford to lose more.

See who can stay the course.

Thanks to the rapid-fire guns and shells obtained in the system.

Previously, the Chinese army certainly had such firearms, but there were very few shells!

3,000 rounds of shells, plus ten new guns, made up a formidable firepower.

Moreover, artillery fire is installed with specialized modern sights!

You can aim directly at the enemy, relying on the instrument, rather than guessing, aiming by feeling.

In short, the artillery of the Chinese army, aiming accurately, hit hard, and after a few minutes of confrontation, destroyed most of the tank clusters and armored vehicle units of the southern and northern fronts of the Japanese army, causing a large number of casualties to the enemy.

The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles eventually became a fire, burning incessantly, and from time to time they exploded, which was the martyrdom of artillery shells, killing and wounding a large number of Japanese infantry.

The fire support of the Japanese collapsed.

The morale of the Japanese infantry was seriously affected, and the offensive became weaker and weaker.

The enemy troops on the Western Front, in the absence of heavy firepower and natural enemies, advanced quickly, assaulted hundreds of meters, basically, tore open the positions of the Chinese troops!
