Chapter 408: Garrison
A burst of explosions sounded on the position again, and a new round of Japanese offensive began, and the 105 caliber Type 92 cannon shells rained down on the position, powerful and ruthless.
Mo Xiaosong squatted motionless in the trench with a G43 semi-automatic rifle, letting the shells keep exploding around him, and the soldiers of their squad had all hid in the tunnel, leaving him alone as an observation post.
From Jinhua to here, but in just three days, the squad leader and deputy squad leader of their first class were sacrificed, and a few days ago, he, a recruit who was often kicked by the squad leader, became the squad leader, which is really unpredictable.
In the shelling, you can't find a safe place to take refuge. The explosion of each shell seemed to tear off any nearby obstacle, as long as it was visible. The whole fortification was shaking, Mo Xiaosong subconsciously grabbed a big stone next to him, and his body stuck to the big stone, as if he could have a sense of security in this way. The successive explosions near the fortifications made him close his eyes, and the rubble flew all around the fortifications, and the smoke and dust covered the sky to occupy the new space and leave a mark on any moving object. After a while, his face was already full of gray and black gunpowder oil.
Originally, Mo Xiaosong could have hid in a slightly safer tunnel next to him, but in order to take care of those recruits who were more rookie than him, he had to replace the soldier who was obviously scared.
Until now, he can't forget that in yesterday's shelling, a Japanese 105 cannon pierced through the top of a tunnel and tore the squad leader and deputy squad leader who were hiding inside, except for a steel helmet stained with brain deformation. There wasn't a single complete part left for containment personnel, even if it was obvious what it was. The half-length pit was completely soaked red with flesh. Every time Mo Xiaosong walked near the tunnel, he couldn't suppress the feeling of vomiting, the thoughts of fear kept biting his nerves, and now he would rather be in the trench than hide in the tunnel.
This is already the third shelling of the Japanese army today. Two hours have passed since the attack was launched at dawn, and the Japanese army desperately attacked Huanghualing like crazy, but no matter how they attacked, they were all shot down by the soldiers of the 561 Regiment who occupied the geographical advantage with intensive firepower, especially the MG34 machine gun, which can be called a harvester-like machine gun, and kept tearing people who tried to get close to it to pieces.
Annoyed and angry, the Japanese army finally used more than 30 artillery pieces of the heavy artillery wing to bombard Huanghualing continuously, and its density surprised many veterans.
And in a small temple behind Huanghualing, Huang Jian. Guozheng used a high-power radio to ask Li Wei of Jinhua for help: "Division." The Japanese are firing frantically at us, and if our planes don't come to Huanghualing, they will be flattened! ”
"HUANG Jian. Country, you resist me. Huanghualing must not be lost, let me tell you, even if your 561 regiment is gone, you have to defend Huanghualing for me! ”
"Airplane...... Say what about the plane! ”
"The military seat said, and the plane will arrive soon. You're holding on for a while! ”
"Yes. Hold on! ”
HUANG Jian. Guo threw down the microphone, ripped off the collar of the wind and discipline buckle and took a few deep breaths, this battle he fought really a bit of a nest, as an officer who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, he has always advocated using the most ferocious firepower to defeat the opponent. But today, I have to face the fierce artillery attack of the Japanese army and I can't do anything, not to mention how many fires there are in my heart.
He took out a cigarette and took a few puffs, the characteristic pungent smell of Camel cigarettes turned into a white mist from his mouth after a few turns in his lungs, and when the taste of nicotine turned around his nasal cavity a few times, he finally calmed his mood.
HUANG Jian. The country re-grabbed the phone. Connected to the battalion headquarters of the first battalion: "Zhi Chunrong, I'm Huang Jian. Country. Where are you playing now? And what, the positions were almost destroyed by the artillery fire of the Japanese? If it is destroyed, you must hold it, I tell you Zhi Chunrong, if you lose the position, you don't want to come to see me, find a place to kill yourself! Air support will arrive soon, be sure to withstand it! ”
"Smack!"
After putting down the phone, Huang Jian. Guo hatefully scolded: "Damn little devil, wait for the flying team to blow up your artillery, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”
HUANG Jian. As soon as Guo put down the phone, a staff officer who was originally sitting in front of the radio suddenly shouted: "Tuanza, the reconnaissance squadron has come to report that they have found the artillery position of the Japanese army!" ”
"Good!"
HUANG Jian. Guoyi slapped his thigh and shouted with joy on his face: "Let them report the coordinates immediately, and tell them the coordinates when the air support arrives, I want to see how long the little devil's artillery can be arrogant!" ”
At a distance of seven or eight kilometers from Huanghualing, 12 Type 92 105-mm cannons and more than 20 Type 94 75-mm mountain guns were desperately pouring shells in the direction of Huanghualing, and behind them, hundreds of soldiers around more than 10 trucks were nervously unloading shells. Since yesterday, they have fired several base shells, which has also made the shells a little nervous, and if it weren't for the urgent delivery of a batch of shells from Hangzhou this morning, I'm afraid they would have been out of shells a long time ago.
Looking at the shirtless gunners, the wing commander of the artillery wing, Nishiki Kusuke Nakasa, showed a satisfied face, just now he received a call from the brigade commander, Major General Kitada Nan, in which Kitada Nan affirmed his merits and efforts, and asked him to continue to work hard, he must assist the infantry wing to take down Huanghualing, and after the siege of Jinhua was lifted, he must go up to ask for credit for him.
After putting down the phone, Nishiki Kusuke threw himself into the battle as if he had eaten a strong pill, and he even personally ran to the back of the artillery group to personally supervise the battle, once he found out which gunner in the running position slowed down, he would shout loudly, under his supervision, all the gunners were in the spirit of twelve points, and one by one the shells flew towards Huanghualing.
Raising the binoculars and looking at the Huanghualing Ridge, which was covered in gunsmoke seven or eight kilometers away, Nishiki Kusuke nodded with his saber very satisfied: "Yo Xi, under the heavy artillery fire of the imperial army. No matter how tenacious these people are, they will be blown to ashes! ”
Just as he was thinking about how long it would take for the infantry to take Huanghualing, a dull roar came from the sky.
At first, Nishiki Hisuke was still a little puzzled, "Did His Excellency the Brigade Commander call for aviation support?" Why don't I know at all? ”
With this question in mind, he looked into the sky in the direction from which the voice came, and soon saw a group of black dots flying in his direction to the west.
"Huh...... No, how could the planes of the Empire fly from the west? After looking at it for a while, Xi Xi Jiusuke suddenly remembered the previous rumors, and his face immediately changed: "It's not good...... It was the plane of the Chinese people...... Everyone hurried to hide ...... Hidden ......"
It's a pity that Nishiki Kusuke's warning came too late, and before those gunners could hear Nishiki Kusuke's order, they saw eight or nine planes in the sky that were originally flying flat upside down. The whole plane swooped down vertically towards the ground at a ninety-degree angle, and the terrible sirens sounded through the sky.
"It's not good, spread out...... Dodge air raids! ”
For a time, the originally busy Japanese artillery position was in chaos in an instant. Don't say anything about how well-trained the Japanese are, in the face of such an irresistible air attack, even the bravest artillery will run away as soon as possible.
"Boom ......"
A few tens of seconds later, the first five-hundred-pound aerial bomb fell on the position. Although the gun emplacements were not hit. However, the strong shock wave still lifted the two 94-type mountain guns more than 10 meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground and scattered, only the surrounding gunners who had no time to escape were shocked into the air, and finally fell to the ground and fell to their deaths.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Immediately after that, more planes pounced from the sky, and earth-shattering explosions continued to sound on the artillery positions, thanks to Nishiki Kusuke's arrogance, in order to maximize the power of the artillery, he concentrated all the artillery and arranged it. In this way, the power of the artillery has been greatly strengthened, but once the enemy counterattacks, this arrangement will also suffer the greatest damage from the enemy.
After the artillery wing was shelled. A few kilometers away, Kita Tiannan also received the news as soon as possible, he ignored the dissuasion of the staff officer, trotted all the way up a hill, raised his binoculars and looked at the artillery position in the rear, from his position you can see that above the artillery position, a group of black vultures as fierce as griffins hovered in the air, neatly draped like the most ferocious birds kept pounced on the ground, destroying everything that dared to resist.
In just five or six minutes, the black vulture, which had dropped all the shells under the belly of the plane, swung its wings in satisfaction, and flew away the way from the source under the escort of six Wildcat fighters who had been covering in the air.
At this time, Kitada Nan's whole body began to shake as if the strength of his whole body had been sucked away, and he shouted in his mouth: "It's over...... The artillery wing is finished! ”
At this time, not only Kitada Nan, but also the captain of the 15th and 6th Wing, Okuyama, who was hiding behind a hillside and commanding the battle, was also a little stunned when he looked at the suddenly stopped shelling.
On the contrary to the Japanese army, on the position of Huanghualing, the position of the 561st Regiment, which had already received the bombing results from the Black Crow squadron that was returning, was a burst of joy and thunder, and countless soldiers came out of the tunnels and anti-artillery holes and cheered loudly, and the Japanese artillery positions that had been arrogant for two days were finally eliminated, this time they wanted to see what the Japanese used to attack, and without the threat of artillery, the 561st Regiment, which had the advantage of Lidi and light weapons, could not be frightened no matter how they were attacked.
After the artillery position was bombed, Major General Okuyama Kazeta fell into a dilemma at once, and continuing to attack was to deliver food, but it was not possible to attack it, and Tanaka Kuichi did not let them come here for tourism.
"Platoon commander, the devil's artillery position was blown up by our planes!"
On the position of the third company of the first battalion of Huanghualing, Mo Xiaosong pointed to the clouds of gunpowder smoke rising in the distance, and jumped and jumped with joy.
"You melon baby, you can't die if you jump so high, let the devil's sharpshooter see your little life and die!" Although Xiang Yihang was equally happy, he still had to scold with a straight face, but when he saw the figures of the panicked retreating Japanese soldiers in front of the position, he still had a smile on his face that could not be concealed......
"The military seat, the aircraft brigade reported that the two vulture squads that attacked had successfully destroyed the artillery positions of the Japanese 23rd Brigade and Regiment, and now the 23rd Mixed Brigade has slowed down its attack on Huanghualing." In the combat hall of the 202nd Army. Zhou Yusheng was reporting the latest battle report to Su Jin.
Su Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Good job, you tell Chu Yuan, when this battle is over, I will ask for credit for him!" ”
Zhou Yusheng smiled and said, "Military seat." Chu Yuan told me that there was no need to ask for credit, and he wanted to ask when the military seat would be able to replenish the planes lost these days. ”
"Hey, this Chu Yuan, is it possible that you are afraid that I will not be able to cheat?" Su Jin laughed and scolded angrily and funny.
"He's not in a hurry." Zhou Yusheng explained with a smile: "Don't you know, Chu Yuan, these people have had enough of not having planes in the past two years, and they finally got those most advanced planes, and he can't wait to even sleep with them as if he is protecting his life." After losing eight Messerschmitt yesterday, he was so distressed that he barely slept all night. ”
"This Chu Yuan." Su Jinshu scolded with a smile: "Isn't there still a few Japanese Nakajima planes that were captured before in the hangar, he can use them first." ”
Zhou Yusheng pursed his lips: "They have a high vision now, how can they look down on those Japanese." ”
"This is really from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift!" Su Jin didn't expect such a thing. I could only shake my head helplessly, but to be honest, another nickname for Japanese planes is lighters, which have the attribute of dying when they hit it. But no normal person would like such an airplane.
"Alright. You tell Chu Yuan that the problem of the plane should be replenished after this battle, let him stay at ease first, and there will be no shortage of his plane. ”
Su Jin casually ordered a few words, and then said to Zhou Yusheng: "Brother Chi Yu, let's discuss the matter." Now Li Weizheng led the 348th Division to storm Jinhua, although Jinhua had a Japanese division and a brigade defenders, but under the constant attack of our heavy artillery. The Japanese army in Jinhua simply did not have the strength to counterattack. As long as we can repel the 104th Division and the 23rd Mixed Brigade, which reinforced Jinhua, it will only be a matter of time before Jinhua is recovered. ”
"Hmm. The military seat is right. Zhou Yusheng also nodded in agreement, and then added: "As long as our army recovers Jinhua, then our army can take advantage of the great loss of the Japanese army's vitality to attack Lishui, Fen Congee, Shaoxing, Hangzhou and other places in two ways, it is only a matter of time before we occupy the entire territory of Zhejiang, but then we will encounter another problem!" ”
Speaking of this, the two glanced at each other and said at the same time: "Our troops are insufficient again!" ”
Speaking of this, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, the 202nd Army had just been expanded, and the entire army had not yet been run-in, and it was facing the problem of insufficient troops. But this is also a helpless thing, at first glance it seems that the 202nd Army, which has more than 60,000 troops, can be described as a strong army, but if it is sprinkled to the entire huge Zhejiang Province, it will be a little insufficient, but they who have just completed the expansion can not ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to expand again, if they really want to do this, I am afraid that even the Bodhisattva will be angry.
After thinking about it for a long time, Su Jin first smiled and said: "Okay, we don't have to worry about it, Zhejiang hasn't taken it yet, we are worried about the lack of troops, and people can't laugh at us when they hear it." ”
"No...... Throne, you're wrong! Zhou Yusheng said: "The art of war has clouds, 'The husband is not fighting and the temple is the winner, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. More wins, less wins, and nothing counts! ’。 Although we have not recovered the whole territory of Zhejiang now, we must also make plans for this goal, otherwise it will be in a hurry to wait until something happens to do it. ”
Looking at Zhou Yusheng's serious appearance, Su Jin could only shake his head helplessly, although his chief of staff seemed to cooperate with his work on weekdays, once it came to the issue of principle, he would not give in at all.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Facing Zhou Yusheng, who was serious, Su Jin only needed to give in, he thought for a while before shaking his head and said: "Our current military strength has been expanded to a limit that the central government can tolerate, and if it continues to expand, it will arouse the vigilance of the chairman." Although he won't do anything to us for a while, after all, people have a big name, and if he really deals with us, we will be passive. ”
Su Jin has never dared to underestimate Chairman Jiang's ability to turn his face, you don't see so many bigwigs who used to call him brothers and sisters, all of them have been played ******** by him, if he didn't have a weapon cashing store in hand, ten tied up would not be anyone's opponent.
Thinking of this, Su Jin suddenly thought of a method and said to Zhou Yusheng: "Brother Chi Yu, I think we might as well set up another garrison to be responsible for the city's security and law and order work, what do you think?" ”
"Garrison?" Zhou Yusheng frowned, "What can a garrison force do, they are almost the same as patrolling and catching thieves, and it is not even possible to expect them to fight with the Japanese." ”
"Chi Yu, you misunderstood me." Su Jin shook his head and said: "I mean to follow the US military system and set up a unit similar to the National Guard, as a supplement and reserve force of the 202nd Army, what do you think?" ”
"Huh...... That's a good idea! Zhou Yusheng thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Having been in the United States for several years, he naturally knew that the U.S. National Guard, or National Guard for short, was an important reserve force of the U.S. military. Although this army is called a militia, they also have their own organizational number, and although they are slightly inferior in training to the regular army, they are the most important supplementary force to the regular army.
