"Everyone's working hard...... One or two...... One, two, three......"

"Hey...... Push......"

On the side of a section of the road, a group of soldiers are shouting to try to push an M101 howitzer out of a pit, due to a rain just last night, the side of the road has become very slippery, the fire has sunk into a mud puddle and cannot be pulled up for a while, and in front of this artillery, the tail of a GM CCKW-353 six-wheeled truck is spewing thick black smoke, and the engine is also roaring loudly, but despite the continuous roar of the engine, seven or eight soldiers next to him are also trying to push the artillery, But the wheels of the truck kept skidding in place, and the mud splashed up made the soldiers behind them all muddy and watery, but the artillery behind them still didn't move, which made the soldiers next to them anxious.

When everyone was busy, there was a roar of cars from behind, and the soldiers who were sweating profusely hurriedly looked back, and after a while, the roar behind became louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of metal tracks, a huge monster drove slowly from behind, and behind this monster was dragging a huge cannon that these soldiers had never seen before.

"Edi Niangye...... What the hell is this? Seeing the huge cannon, a private who was pushing the cannon couldn't help but reveal his hometown.

When they approached, the crowd finally saw clearly. The huge monster turned out to be a huge tractor, and on top of this monster stood more than a dozen soldiers, and behind the tractor was a huge cannon, when the rumbling tractor drove up to them. It stopped. A second lieutenant poked his head out of the passenger cab window at the front of the car and showed his white teeth to the soldiers next to the M101 howitzer: "Brothers, do you need help?" ”

Soon, the tractor detached from the guns behind it and took the truck's place. After the soldiers put the wire rope on the back of the tractor, with the rapid roar of the tractor, the tractor with strong horsepower slowly dragged the two-ton gun out of the mud pit.

Looking at the mud-stained artillery, the sergeant quickly wiped his mud-stained hands on his body, took out a pack of camel cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the second lieutenant, and said to the second lieutenant gratefully: "Sir, come and smoke a cigarette." ”

"Okay. Come on for two! ”

The second lieutenant was not polite, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and the sergeant quickly took out a match and lit it for the second lieutenant. An eye ring squirted expertly from the second lieutenant's mouth.

Taking advantage of the second lieutenant's smoking, the sergeant asked with a shy face: "Sir, what kind of cannon are you, why are you so big?" In my opinion, your cannon is larger than the M40 self-propelled gun, the largest in our divisional artillery regiment. The caliber must be at least two hundred millimeters or more, right? I think this barrel is so big that it can fit a person! ”

The second lieutenant spitted out a smoke ring proudly and said, "You don't know, our cannon is newly obtained from the military seat." I heard that this is Lao Maozi's artillery, 203 mm caliber, not to mention in our army, even in all our troops in China, it is also the only scorpion, a bomb is a pit of dozens of meters, no matter how hard the fortifications have to be played, if the infantry encounters it, a platoon will have to be reimbursed. ”

"That's it!" The sergeant nodded repeatedly. This is by no means his sycophancy, he is also an artilleryman and knows it very well. This second lieutenant really didn't brag, take the 105 howitzer under his hand as an example, a shell weighs about 19 kilograms, and the lethality of the explosion is thirty or forty meters, and the lethality of a shell like this 203 caliber is at least more than 100 meters when it runs down, and it is really not a boast for a platoon of soldiers.

In fact, this artillery is a heavy artillery piece that Su Jin cashed out in order to increase the attack power of the troops after the 202nd Division was expanded into the 202nd Army. This artillery is the famous B4 howitzer produced by the Soviet Union, and this artillery is also one of the largest caliber guns of the Soviet Army in another time and space, and the Germans gave it a nickname, called Stalin's hammer.

This 15.8-ton gun is too heavy, in order to increase its ability to march on bad roads, Lao Maozi added metal track turf to the lower part of this gun, and made a tractor from the T18 tank turf to tow it, which also greatly increased its marching ability.

While the two were talking, there was another roar from behind, and after a while, another group of B4 heavy guns rushed from behind. Seeing the arrival of the convoy, the second lieutenant hurriedly threw the cigarette butt: "Okay, I won't say more, if the battalion commander sees me chatting with you here, you have to cut me, see you later!" ”

After saying that, the second lieutenant jumped into the front of the car, and soon the tractor made a popping sound and drove away with a heavy gun......

In the temporary headquarters of the 347th Division, a lieutenant colonel staff officer pointed to the map and said to Huang Weiguo: "Sir...... Since yesterday, the 60 th Division of the Japanese Army has rushed to Kaihua, and in addition to leaving a part of their troops to garrison the county seat, the remaining eight brigades are in the vicinity of Changhong Township, Zhangwan Township, and Chihuai Township, and they have now exchanged fire with the 348th Brigade, and the Japanese army also has a heavy artillery wing that is shelling our troops. The Japanese artillery has a long range and high accuracy, and the artillery of the 348th Brigade has nothing to do with them, and now the battle is very fierce, and Brigade Commander Zhou asked the military seat if he could transfer an M40 self-propelled heavy artillery battalion to him, so as to suppress the Japanese artillery. ”

Huang Weiguo shook his head without thinking: "No, the heavy artillery regiment of our division has been transferred to the 347th Brigade, and now it is estimated that it has rushed to Jiangshan, where did I get the artillery to transfer to him, you tell Zhou Huai'an, let him resist no matter what." I have just received a telegram from the military headquarters that he has sent a battalion of heavy artillery to support us, and will arrive about this afternoon, or at the latest. ”

"Report!"

Just then, a loud voice sounded at the door.

Huang Weiguo looked back and saw a lieutenant colonel standing at the door saluting him.

"Report to the commander, Zhang Shaojie, commander of the heavy artillery battalion of the military family, was ordered to come and report!"

"Haha...... Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive! Seeing the visitor, Huang Weiguo, who was originally a little frowning, laughed, strode up to the person and said, "You are the heavy artillery battalion sent by the military seat?" ”

"Yes!"

"Have all your troops arrived?"

"Report to the division, all eight artillery pieces belonging to the heavy artillery battalion have arrived!"

"Eight guns!" Hearing this, Huang Weiguo frowned with some confusion: "No, isn't there supposed to be eighteen artillery pieces per battalion of 155 howitzer self-propelled guns, why has it shrunk?" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled slightly: "Division, the caliber of the artillery equipped by our heavy artillery battalion is relatively large, so the standard configuration of each battalion is eight. ”

"Bigger?" Huang Weiguo asked strangely, "How big?" ”

"It's definitely bigger than the M40!" Zhang Shaojie also replied very interestingly.

"Good boy, start a dumb riddle with me." Huang Weiguo was startled at first, and then he was a little happy, "Let's go, go and see your artillery!" ”

"Yes!"

When the group walked out of the headquarters and saw the cannon muzzle of a door dragged by a tractor outside, which was almost thicker than a person, Rao is Huang Weiguo was also stunned, and couldn't help muttering: "Good guy, this thing is really big!" ”

Just when Huang Weiguo was amazed by those large artillery, the officers and soldiers of the 348th Brigade were also engaged in fierce battles with the Japanese army.

"Boom...... Boom"

Several shells fell on the head of the 577th Regiment, the sound of shell explosions resounded everywhere, and the surroundings were blown up, Ma Yang, who was a little confused by the artillery fire, raised his head staggeringly, and faintly saw a group of Japanese soldiers rushing towards them with rifles in the artillery fire in front of him.

"Damn Japs."

Ma Yang picked up the submachine gun and fired fiercely in front of him, tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle, and in the smoke he seemed to see several Japanese soldiers falling on the opposite side, but there were more Japanese soldiers rushing towards them.

"Titicaca......"

A hurried voice sounded behind him, it was the sound of the MG34 machine gun, and with the sound of the machine gun, the group of Japanese soldiers in front fell to the ground one after another.

"Woo...... Boom ......"

A shell rang out next to it, and the sound of the machine gun, which had just gone off, was immediately mute.

"Where are these bastards, our artillerymen, dead!"

Seeing that the machine gun position that had only hit less than a shuttle bullet was blown up by the Japanese artillery fire again, Ma Yang was anxious and angry, today's battle was really bad, MG34 has been the firepower pillar of the army since it was equipped with the troops, and the infantry could not do without him whether it was defending or attacking, but today's Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, and their machine guns would be bombarded by Japanese artillery fire as soon as they fired, forcing the machine gunners to quickly shift their positions with a few shuttles, and even then their regiment lost several machine guns.

The artillery fire on their side seemed to have disappeared, and the position was covered with Japanese shells exploding, and their regiment was beaten by the Japanese artillery fire, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated under the cover of artillery fire.

"Ma Yang...... The company commander told us to retreat two hundred meters and reorganize our fire! At this time, the voice of the platoon commander sounded from behind.

"Understood, brothers, all of them retreat to the back for me!" Ma Yang looked at the brothers around him who were struggling to resist under the suppression of Japanese artillery fire and machine gun fire, and helplessly picked up his gun and ran back......

Less than two kilometers behind them in Mayang, Zhang Shaojie was directing tractors to drive heavy artillery onto a deserted farmland.

"Down...... Pour it again...... That's right, this is it, stop! ”

"Everyone immediately changed the artillery to working condition, the commanders immediately opened the chassis tripod, fixed it with a hard object, and the loader immediately unloaded the shells from the car!" (To be continued.) )
