Chapter 915: Crazy Little Devil
Less than two minutes after the company commander Sun Li gave the order, the two heavy field mountain guns in the hands of the artillery company and several other large-caliber infantry guns had already locked onto the artillery position of the little devil and launched a bombardment on it.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom—"
Heavy artillery shells fell one after another on the position of the Little Devil Artillery Wing, and exploded violently, directly blowing up one person from the Little Devil Artillery Wing.
Some of the shells even detonated the shells that the little devils placed on the ground, causing a secondary explosion.
The sudden bombardment took the little devil artillery by surprise, and after several rounds of bombardment, the little devil artillery position was almost completely destroyed, and its artillery wing had no ability to fight again.
You must know that the radius of destruction of heavy field mountain guns of 150 mm caliber has reached an astonishing fifty meters.
It can be said that with the point of the shell explosion as the center, there will hardly be a complete corpse left within 10 meters of the surrounding area, and almost everyone within 50 meters of the surrounding area will be injured or even killed by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell.
Even within 80 to 100 meters, it is possible to be killed and injured by the sputtered shrapnel.
What's more, the artillery company has two such weapons in its hands, including several infantry guns and howitzers of more than 110 mm caliber.
Under simultaneous fire, where can the little devil artillery position stand it?
"Gah?"
To be honest, Sun Li was also stunned by the power of this great killing weapon.
Although he had used this weapon when he was in Yongcheng, it was at night, so he couldn't see its damage directly, and naturally he didn't know much about its power.
But now, standing on a high place, he can clearly and intuitively see the lethality of this thing, which can no longer be described as terrifying.
At the same time, I also sighed in my heart, no wonder the Chinese army was almost powerless in the face of the army of little devils.
Such a shell, if it falls in a densely populated area, that shell can almost destroy a company or even more enemy troops.
Of course, the reason why the new artillery company was able to destroy the artillery positions of the little devils in one fell swoop was, in the final analysis, the reason why the little devils were careless and underestimated the enemy.
Because as far as they knew, the 110th Brigade had no artillery at all (the so-called artillery battalion was almost directly ignored by it), therefore, at the beginning of the war, the Little Devil Artillery Wing almost randomly selected an open space as an artillery position, and then launched a bombardment of the infantry position of the 110th Brigade.
The only thing to be thankful for was that their artillery positions were kept at a distance from the rest of the troops, so that the rest of the troops were not affected by the bombardment of the new artillery company.
However, soon, after completely destroying the artillery positions of the little devils, the new artillery company of the new regiment quickly turned around the artillery and launched a bombardment of the rest of the little devils......
"Yaga! Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Didn't it mean that the enemy army in China did not have artillery units? ”
One after another, the heavy artillery shells fell on the little devil's artillery position and exploded, as if they had exploded in the heart of the commander of the Ninth Division of the little devil, Ryosuke Jijia, which broke his heart. At the same time, it also made him hate it so much that he almost wanted to go crazy.
When the little devil officers heard this, they all lowered their arrogant heads, not daring to look directly at the murderous gaze of His Excellency the division commander.
In fact, not only the division commander Yoshika Ryosuke couldn't figure it out, but these little devil officers couldn't figure it out either, because the combat effectiveness of the 110th Brigade Artillery Battalion on the spot at this moment had almost completely crushed the combat effectiveness of their Ninth Artillery Wing.
However, for the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, the real crisis was just beginning.
Chief of Staff Nakagawa Hiroshi seemed to realize this, and hurriedly said in a loud voice at the moment: "Your Excellency General, it's not good, the enemy's artillery has begun to fire on our side, let's hurry up and turn in!" ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! ”
The rest of the little devil officers also followed.
"Yaga! Do you mean to let me retreat? ”
Ryosuke Yoshika roared angrily, although he no longer had any hope for this battle, but he was ten thousand unwilling to let him leave.
"Boom-"
Suddenly, a heavy field howitzer shell fell a hundred meters away from them and exploded.
Because they didn't bend over in time to dodge, a strong wind blew directly on them, making them feel like they were shaking.
And the center of the explosion directly became a purgatory, and there was hardly a complete piece of flesh and blood within more than ten meters around.
Some only have craters with a depth of more than one meter and a diameter of more than two meters.
Perhaps because of the rain, the bottom of the crater was a bubbling yellow spring, which quickly washed away the charred blackness of the crater.
"Your Excellency General, hurry up and give the order!"
"Yaga! Now that the large forces have rushed to the front of the battlefield, especially the vanguard has even crossed the river, if the order to retreat is given, then what will they do? Do you want to ignore these warriors of the Great Japanese Empire?
No one should mention the retreat again! ”
When the little devil officers saw that the division commander had made up his mind, they knew that there was no hope of stopping him, and they did not dare to disobey him again.
Because at this time, Yoshika Ryosuke seems to have fallen into madness, and if anyone disobeys him again, he will be burned if he doesn't do well.
He will be punished at the lightest, and he will be killed directly by Huangquan, so no one dares to touch this bad head again.
"Pass my orders! All the army is attacking! In addition, the personnel of each unit should be spread out as much as possible!
The 18th Brigade charged from the front, and the 6th Brigade and the rest of the divisions charged from the left and right flanks! ”
"Hay!"
The general takes obedience to orders as his duty, and even if the battle situation is unfavorable, the little devil officers have no choice but to take the order.
The officers and men of the little devils had a very strong execution on the battlefield, and when they received the order from their superiors, they still rushed forward head-on even in the face of the overwhelming artillery fire of the new artillery company......
110th Brigade Infantry Position.
"Captain Yang's method is too effective!"
The letter was suspicious, and all the officers and soldiers of the 110th Brigade followed the order and used the methods taught to them by Yang Yun to avoid the artillery bombardment of the little devils.
When the shells fell one after another, they only felt a wave of shaking from the ground, which made their calves numb, but they did not have the oppressive feeling of lying on the ground and being concussed in the chest, and there would be no chest tightness, chest pain or even vomiting blood.
All of a sudden, their worship of Yang Yun reached the point of respecting a god.
However, what really surprised them was that when the new artillery company opened fire, the artillery attack of the little devils seemed to be reduced a lot at once.
"This, this, this...... It's too strong to have a new group, right? ”
You must know that their 110th Brigade has not yet opened fire, and this is only the firepower of the new regiment, although their artillery battalion is temporarily part of the new regiment. But even with the addition of the artillery battalion, the strength of the new regiment was still much, much worse than in its heyday.
How strong would they be if the new regiment were at full capacity? The officers and men of the 110th Brigade no longer dared to think about it......
