Chapter 21: The Bombing Miserably

For the first time, Koji Tachibana's face showed a look of horror. [No pop-up novel network]

At this moment, his tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up were less than a thousand meters away from the artillery position, and at such a close distance, Tachibana Koji knew very well what it would mean What's even worse is that at this time, his tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up were in a marching formation, and they did not spread out at all

At this time, the squadron that had seized the artillery position only needed a few rounds of artillery to inflict heavy damage on his tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up

It is not for nothing that artillery is known as the god of war

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the reason why the Japanese army has been able to show a crushing trend and hit the Wuxi line like a bamboo all the way is that the artillery has played a great role.

Under the horrified gaze of Koji Tachibana, the first row of shells whistled in.

"Boom, boom", followed by a continuous stream of violent explosions.

The huge smoke, thick gunsmoke, and rolling flames swallowed up the devil's entire chariot squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed.

"Wing Commander be careful" The orderly swooped forward and threw Koji Tachibana to the ground.

In the next moment, a huge explosion suddenly invaded Tachibana Koji's ears, like a thunderclap in his ears, which shook him dizzy, and the huge shock wave almost shook out his internal organs, and after the explosion, Tachibana Koji's ears were only left with a buzzing roar, and no sound could be heard.

After a long time, Tachibana Koji struggled to push away the orderly who was pressing on him, sat up staggeringly, and when he looked at it urgently, he saw that his orderly had been killed, and a huge piece of shrapnel had cut off more than half of his head, and the brain tissue in the cranial cavity was sprayed all over the ground in a radial pattern.

Looking around again, less than ten meters away from him, a Type 97 medium tank flipped on its side, the entire tank was completely torn from the root of the turret, and curling green smoke was coming out of the carriage, and a soldier was screaming and crawling outside, Tachibana Koji noticed that half of the soldier's body had been completely charred and obviously could not survive.

Turning his head again, a huge crater appeared in front of Tachibana Koji.

This crater is twenty meters wide and more than one meter deep, the crater is charred black, several coke-like objects are curling green smoke, and the air is filled with the smell of burning, there is no doubt that these are human bodies, they are all charred human bodies, Tachibana Koji's stomach suddenly swelled with a sense of disgust, and he rolled over and fell to the ground and hiccups.

But this time, Koji Tachibana saw a head with hideous eyebrows

The skull was cut flat and there were no burn marks, it was obviously cut off by the shrapnel flying at high speed, and even the expression still maintained the last fear color of his life, yes fear, Tachibana Koji saw a thick fear in the expression of this fallen soldier, obviously, he didn't want to die.

"Medic, help, please help me"

A faint cry for help was heard, and Tachibana Koji turned around to see a soldier with almost all his body burned to char struggling to climb up the huge crater.

The soldier also saw Koji Tachibana and beckoned, "Captain, help me"

Tachibana Koji hurriedly rushed over, grabbed the soldier's hands and pulled up, in order to drag the soldier up, Tachibana Koji was full of strength, but as a result, he actually dragged it into the air and fell to the ground, Tachibana Koji was taken aback, and when he looked down, he saw that the soldier he dragged up was only half of the cut left, but the waist down was gone.

"Captain, thank you, thank you" The soldier smiled at Koji Tachibana, tilted his head and said nothing.

"Yaga, Yaga, Yaga." Tachibana Koji couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, damn it, since the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full force, when has the Imperial Japanese Army suffered such a big loss, Tachibana Koji completely lost his mind, brandished his saber and roared hoarsely, "Order, attack boom boom boom"

The next moment, another row of shells squeaked and screaked and flew over, and then exploded with a bang.

"Captain, be careful" Akita Shaosa found Tachibana Koji from the devastated battlefield, and saw that Tachibana Koji was actually standing in the middle of the explosion group, not dodging or dodging, he was startled at the time, and quickly rushed up and threw Tachibana Koji to the ground, almost at the moment when the two of them just fell to the ground, a cannonball exploded.

This time, Koji Tachibana was directly shocked to death by the shock wave transmitted from the ground.

"Wing Captain Wing Captain" Akita Shaoza reached out to probe Tachibana Koji's snort, and found that there was still gas, so he quickly got up again and yelled, "Come on, come on, carry the co-captain down"

Two orderlies rushed up under artillery fire and carried Koji Tachibana down.

Akita Shaosa picked up Tachibana Koji's saber from the ground again, and then brandished the saber and shouted: "Retreat, quickly withdraw to the city to withdraw to the city, withdraw to the city"

Dividing line

Lin Feng came over anxiously and said, "Old Xu, the little devil has withdrawn." ”

When Xu Rui raised his binoculars to inspect, he saw that the devil's convoy and infantry began to retreat.

The little devil is not stupid, knowing that under the premise that the bridge is blown up and the attack is hopeless, staying in the uncovered field will only become a target for the remnants of the provisional 79th Division to practice artillery.

At that moment, Lin Feng asked again: "Lao Xu, the little devil has withdrawn, should we also take advantage of the dawn to move quickly?"

"Don't worry, it's still early in the morning." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted, "Brothers, shake the firing angle high, continue to extend the shooting, everyone has suffered enough of the devil artillery in the past few days, and today, we must also turn around to let the little devil taste the power, don't save me shells, shoot them all, shoot them all."

"Yes" The remnants of the soldiers responded violently and began to shake their high firing angles.

Not to mention, it is really true that practice brings true knowledge, this group of remnants has only fired a dozen cannons, and one by one they are already quite like that, but this is much stronger than the artillery theory that has been learned in the classroom for several months.

The remnants of the provisional 79th Division were fighting well here, but the little devils were bombed badly.

The artillery brigade of the Tachibana Wing was equipped with 12 75-caliber field howitzers, four 70-caliber 92 infantry guns, plus two 150-caliber medium mortars, and a full 18 guns fired at the same time

That is, the remnants of the provisional 79th Division had never done artillery before, so the rate of fire was not fast.

Otherwise, the devil's tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up could really confess.

But even so, the devil's tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up were also heavily damaged.

The three infantry squadrons of the devil were not bad, except for the first round of artillery bombardment, which suffered large casualties because of the sudden surprise, after Akita Shaoza gave the order, the devil's infantry immediately scattered and withdrew to the city as quickly as possible, so they did not suffer much loss, but the devil's chariot was miserable.

The Devil's tank squadron has more than a dozen tanks or tanks, and the poor roads severely limit their movement speed, coupled with the chaos caused by the shelling, as well as the impact of gunsmoke, smoke and bright light from the explosion on the vehicle driver's vision, making it even more difficult for the tank squadron to move an inch.

Akita Shaosa hid in a five-story building on the edge of the city, and watched as more than a dozen tanks and combat vehicles of the tank squadron were destroyed one by one, and they were all bitten to pieces.

Almost half an hour later, Tachibana woke up quietly.

In the past half hour, the shelling of the squadron has not stopped.

Hate an Akita Shaozo, they usually shell for up to ten minutes at a time, and the Chinese are really generous.

But who can be blamed for this, it was originally a Japanese shell, how could the Chinese save

Koji Tachibana, who had just woken up, happened to witness the destruction of the last Type 95 light tank, and speaking of which, this light tank was really unlucky, and finally broke out of the battle group, and saw that it was about to retreat to the city, but another large-caliber high-explosive bomb fell from the sky, and it was directly blown into a ball of scrap metal.

The tank is known as the king of war, but when it encounters artillery, the god of war, it is equally unable to parry.

Looking at the Type 95 light tank that had been completely engulfed by the flames, Tachibana Koji's facial muscles twitched twice, and he turned around and asked Akita Shaosa: "Akita-san, how is the battle damage?"

Akita Shaosa paused violently and said sadly: "Wing Commander, three infantry squadrons, sixteen people were killed and sixty-nine were seriously wounded, of which thirty-one people needed amputation, even after the injury was recovered, it was impossible to return to the team, in addition, the tank squadron was completely wiped out, and eighteen tanks and combat vehicles were destroyed. ”

"Yaga, Yaga Yalu" Tachibana Koji gritted his teeth in anger, but he was helpless.

Akita Shaosa asked Tachibana Koji again: "Wing Commander, do you want to send a report to the 1st and 3rd Infantry Brigades, ordering them to detour to the two flanks and cooperate with our department to recapture the headquarters?"

"Forget it, no need." Tachibana Koji waved his hand and sighed, "At present, the Chinese have seized the artillery position, and they have absolutely superior artillery firepower, and we do not know the exact strength of the Chinese, if the attack is strong, the casualties will be too large, or wait for tomorrow dawn, please ask the front army aviation regiment for tactical guidance." ”

"Hello." Akita Shaoza paused heavily, and asked again, "Wing Commander, how should I report that there is still a commander of the division and regimental headquarters?"

"Report truthfully." Tachibana Koji's facial muscles twitched twice, and then said, "In addition, if you report to the headquarters of the Dispatch Army, you will say that the battle situation in Wuxi has changed, and please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to cancel the trip and return to Shanghai." ”

"Hello." Akita Shaozo paused again and turned to go. For the first time, Koji Tachibana's face showed a look of horror.

At this moment, his tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up were less than a thousand meters away from the artillery position, and at such a close distance, Tachibana Koji knew very well what it would mean What's even worse is that at this time, his tank squadron and the three infantry squadrons that followed up were in a marching formation, and they did not spread out at all
