Chapter 460: Too Early to Rejoice!
In the face of the task force's start to use mountain artillery to carry out long-range strikes, the Japanese mountain artillery unit used to suppress the attack and harassment artillery outside the town quickly stopped. Even if some artillery escaped, the artillery on the position still suffered considerable losses.
The artillery guerrillas, who were responsible for the attack outside the town, naturally did not miss this excellent opportunity when they saw the little devil's mountain artillery extinguished. The artillerymen of all directions, again advancing the artillery, aimed at the defensive positions of the little devils, and another round of covered shelling.
Under the cover of artillery, the combat units that served as feints dug many individual pits at the front of the Japanese positions. Even some individual pits can be linked together to form a small defensive position to cover more troops from attacking the attack.
Ogisu, who was staying at the command post in the town, learned that the mountain artillery squadron had been hit by artillery fire, and said with a little surprise: "What about it? The Chinese army is actually equipped with mountain artillery? Damn, we're in real trouble right now! ”
"General, don't we still have heavy artillery? Why not fight back? ”
"Have you forgotten the telegram from Luzhou? This mysterious armed force used heavy artillery when attacking Luzhou City. If we use heavy artillery, who dares to guarantee that the Chinese army outside the town will not use heavy artillery to counterattack? ”
As Ogisu Libing said this, several Japanese commanders also felt a little headache. Let the heavy artillery squadron counterattack, it is very likely to expose the position of the heavy artillery squadron, attracting a heavy artillery attack from the task force outside the town.
If these artillery units are lost, they will be in a very dangerous situation in the subsequent offensive and defensive battles. But if they don't counterattack, the opponent can continue to destroy their defensive positions by only using mountain artillery troops.
even used mountain artillery troops to continuously consume the strength of the defenders in the town. Let the heavy artillery counterattack, it is possible to lose heavy artillery. If you don't let the heavy artillery fight back, the infantry in the town will be in trouble. The dilemma is indeed a headache!
Listening to the field calls that kept coming into the headquarters, and looking at the soldiers of Ogizhou who were full of entanglement, a commander soon said: "General, do you think we can do this?" The heavy artillery squadron was armed with eight heavy guns, which were divided into two to launch a counterattack.
First use four heavy artillery pieces to destroy the mountain artillery unit of the Chinese army outside the town. If the Chinese army outside the town were really armed with heavy artillery, they would definitely counterattack quickly. When the time comes, we will use the remaining four heavy guns to fight back! ”
As soon as these words came out, the commanders' eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Yo! General, this method should work! ”
Approved by many commanders, Ogizhou Libing didn't say anything more, and immediately said: "Just do it this way!" Order the heavy artillery squadron and quickly launch a counterattack! When the other four heavy guns have built up their positions, they will immediately carry out an artillery counterattack! ”
"Hey!"
Hu Biao, who stayed outside the town to fight, actually always expected the little devils to use their remaining heavy artillery troops. As a result, he waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the little devil's heavy artillery counterattack, and he felt that there was only a problem in it.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Pillar, notify the first mountain artillery team to split the artillery team twice." Split out the mountain artillery and transferred to the reserve position. Continue to carry out artillery bombardment on the little devil targets in the town, and force the little devil heavy artillery troops out as much as possible! ”
"Yes, detachment leader!"
After Hu Biao gave the battle order, Yu Xuezhong, who was standing beside him, also smiled and said: "It seems that the little devil should have guessed that you have a heavy artillery unit in your hand." I'm worried about being countered, so I can't help it! ”
"It doesn't matter! The little devils are very good at being the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but they seem to have forgotten that Lao Tzu has more artillery in his hands than them, and the cannonballs should not be less than them. If they don't fight back, Lao Tzu will blow up their nest! ”
can't catch the heavy artillery of the little devil, and Hu Biao doesn't feel any regrets. even took this opportunity to seize the time to transfer a few mountain artillery. When the little devil is ready to fight back, the loss will be smaller.
The cars that had previously hauled artillery were always parked behind the artillery positions. The first group of mountain guns, which received the order, quickly stopped the shelling of several mountain guns, quickly hung the guns to the cars, and then transferred the mountain guns to the reserve positions.
There are cars to haul artillery, which naturally does not take much time. Not long after the first mountain artillery team was divided into two, the little devils in the town finally couldn't bear it and began to use heavy artillery to shell the position where the first mountain artillery team was located.
Looking at the shells falling from the sky, the captain of the first mountain artillery team in charge of the command shouted: "Shelling! Take cover! ”
The combat team members who were shelling jumped into the anti-artillery pit next to the position without saying a word. When they jumped into the crater, four heavy artillery shells fell from the sky, setting off waves of explosions, causing many combat team members to ring in their ears and heartbeats.
After the four shells exploded, the combat team members who jumped into the anti-artillery pit, looked at their comrades who made the transfer gesture, quickly jumped up from the anti-artillery pit, lifted the unfinished shells on the position, and escaped from the artillery position as quickly as possible.
When the second round of heavy artillery fell, many mountain guns that were not pulled away were blown up in the explosion. Thankfully, not a single shell was visible from the position, and many of the previously unfinished shells had been removed.
The captain of the detachment who fled to the safe area couldn't help but scold: "Damn, fortunately I ran fast!" The little devil's cannonball hit really accurately. Never mind! Hurry up and prepare the position, carry all the shells, and wait until you continue to blow up those dogs! ”
For the mountain artillery abandoned on the position, although they felt pity. But they know better that Hu Biao has always had an explanation. Once the Japanese artillery began to counterattack, they had to abandon the bulky artillery and evacuate as soon as possible.
Although the artillery is valuable, they will always have a way to capture it from the battlefield in the future. If they are all killed, even if the artillery is captured in the future, I am afraid that no one will be able to operate the artillery. In Hu Biao's eyes, they are more 'valuable' than artillery!
Yu Xuezhong, who was standing in a safe area to watch the battle, looked at the smashed mountain artillery, and said reluctantly: "Those mountain artillery, it's a pity!" ”
"It's no pity! I care more about the lives of the artillery than about the artillery. Judging from the counterattack of the little devils, they should have left a hand. After waiting so long to fight back, they must have hidden some heavy artillery. ”
"What then?"
"No way! When the battle comes to this point, you have to fight with the little devils. pillars, notify the first team of heavy artillery, and immediately launch a counterattack. Tell those guys that after the three rounds of shelling, immediately hide in the anti-artillery holes, and don't die! ”
"Yes, detachment leader!"
In order to ensure the safety of these part-time artillery crews, when Hu Biao ordered them to build artillery positions, he also deliberately asked them to dig simple anti-artillery pits in advance. In an emergency, they can also jump into the anti-artillery pit to avoid the artillery fire of the little devils.
Unless the shells of the little devils fall directly into the excavated anti-artillery pit. Otherwise, even heavy artillery shells will not blow up the combat team members hiding in the pit. After the shelling, they quickly got up and fled from their positions.
Compared to the rate of fire of mortars and infantry guns, it takes more time to reload a heavy gun. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the little devil to reload the shells, it was enough for the fighters to run out of their positions and retreat to a safer area farther away.
Although to do so, it is tantamount to abandoning the artillery on the position. But in Hu Biao's view, people are more important than artillery. As long as there are people, he will still be able to capture more artillery from the hands of the little devils in the future.
What's more, Hu Biao's storage space will reserve some artillery for emergency use. Even if these cannons were destroyed by the little devil tonight, he believed that when the time came, the artillery in the hands of the little devil would definitely not be saved.
When the heavy artillery of the little devil began the third round of shelling, the mountain artillery team that had been diverted out again launched an artillery bombardment on the Japanese troops in the town. The location of the shelling is still the location of the artillery position of the Little Devil Mountain.
As a result, it was obvious that as soon as the heavy artillery squadron struck, the mountain artillery units outside the town were destroyed. Unexpectedly, the mountain artillery troops outside the town reshifted their positions and continued to pour artillery fire on the little devils in the town.
Many of the little devil artillerymen who survived thought that as soon as the heavy artillery fired, their positions would be safe. When he was urged by the commander to check the losses and prepare to pull out the mountain guns that had survived, he was stunned by a round of shells.
"Yaga! What's going on here? Why did the mountain artillery of the Chinese army run over there again? Will they fly? ”
"Probably not! No, they still have reserve artillery positions. The previous artillery position was destroyed, and they quickly activated the reserve position. However, aren't these Zhina troops afraid of death? Aren't they afraid of our heavy artillery? ”
When the Japanese army in the town was guessing in their hearts, the heavy artillery team that had been ordered had already locked on the Japanese heavy artillery position. Compared to the little devils, who only use four heavy guns, the first team of heavy artillery of the task force is equipped with six heavy guns.
With the roar of the six heavy artillery, the Japanese heavy artillery unit, which was feeling surprised, quickly realized that the crisis was coming. The leader of the team was even more frightened: "Baga! The Chinese army has heavy artillery, quick! Fall back! ”
As soon as the words fell, the shells also landed. Six heavy artillery shells smashed down, and the little devil's heavy artillery position instantly became a mess. Compared with the tragic situation of these little devil artillery, the Japanese commander in the town breathed a sigh of relief.
looked at the division commander Ogizhou Libing with admiration, and said with a smile: "General, I really let you calculate accurately, the Chinese army really has heavy artillery." If we hadn't prepared in advance, we would have suffered a big loss this time! ”
"The battle is not over, and it is not yet time to celebrate. Inform the heavy artillery squadron to immediately carry out a counterattack and take out the heavy artillery units of the Shina Army for me. Destroy their heavy artillery and settle the remaining artillery positions of the Chinese Army! ”
"Hey!"
In the eyes of Ogisu and the rest of the commanders, they had forced out the killer weapon of the attacking forces outside the town. After destroying it, the balance of victory in the artillery battle had already tilted to the side of the Japanese army. But they didn't know that everything seemed to be happy too soon.
Looking at the sound of heavy artillery coming from the town again, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "Sure enough, the little devil is really cunning, and he really left a hand." It's a pity that no matter how deep the calculation is, you have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water! ”
The number of shells fired by the little devils, Hu Biao knew that this was the only heavy artillery left in the Japanese division. Wait for the destruction of these heavy artillery of the little devils, then the next unilateral shelling will really become a nightmare for the little devils in the town!
