560. The war defense artillery is back in the rivers and lakes
The 30th Army, the 2nd Army, and even the Headquarters of the Commander of the Fifth Theater are all paying close attention to the instantaneous changes in the battle situation, which is exciting.
In the end, there is really no way, those treasures can't be hidden, the plane is out!
On 29 April, more than 40 bombers and escort fighter groups of the 7th and 8th Squadrons of the 3rd Group of the Chinese Air Force flew over Yixian to bomb the Japanese army's ammunition depots and supply lines.
The planes of the two armies conducted an air battle over Yixian, and the Chinese army was victorious, shooting down several devils' planes, and after bombing Yixian, on the way back, they then bombed the devils on the outskirts of Taierzhuang.
When the formation of nine planes came to the sky over Taierzhuang, the Japanese thought it was their plane, and they all jumped out to give instructions to the plane.
As a result, from the bomber's belly, a bomb like sheep dung was pulled out and landed in the crowd on the devil's position, and more than 20 tanks that were attacking were also bombed.
I'll go, it's so cool!
This is simply a send-off, it is too good, the Chinese Air Force, our Army loves you too much.
Huge surprise, hit the Chinese army, it was Lao Qin's turn and they cheered on the position, little devil, don't think that only you have planes, we, we also have them, we can also blow you up, look, look, this is.
This great help from the brothers of the Air Force not only helped Lao Qin and them repel the strong enemy in front of them, but also gave everyone great confidence and encouragement and comfort.
……
It's just that compared with the Japanese army, the difference in strength between the Chinese Air Force and the Japanese army is too great, that is, it was short-lived, and after several bombings, it was difficult to see it again.
It is estimated that they were targeted by Japanese planes and lost some, and there were not many aerial bombs, and they were blown up and gone, and the role of fighters flying on the battlefield was not very large, so it was rarely seen later.
Although the Chinese army's long-range heavy artillery and fighter-bombers appeared a few times near Taierzhuang, the effect was very good, especially to the morale and confidence of the soldiers, which brought a great boost.
The soldiers know that what the Japanese army has, we also have, but a little less, there will be more in the future, and in the future, we will also have a large number of aircraft, tanks, and artillery, and when the time comes, the little devils will be all over the ground looking for teeth.
It can be said that so far, the Battle of Xuzhou has been the battlefield where China's top weapons are used, and in terms of combatants, it is also a collective battle of all ethnic groups and local troops across the country.
There are also elites of the Central Army, such as the Tang Enbo Regiment in Zaozhuang, Lanling and other places in Lunan Province, and other local troops, in addition to the Northwest Army that plays the leading role, there are also the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army, the Northeast Army, etc., and recently the Yunnan Army (Yunnan Army).
……
After the planes and artillery left, this situation still had to be supported by the Northwest Army like Lao Qin and them in Taierzhuang, and in the face of the increasingly ferocious attack of the devils, everyone had to devote themselves to the desperate position.
Lao Qin's Ninth Company, now there are only two platoons left, only about 50 people, but in the early hours of the morning, the 31st Division received a new recruit from a supplementary regiment, and Lao Qin's company got some reinforcements, and more than 30 recruits came in.
Lao Qin is not polite, as soon as the recruits came, they immediately worked hard with everyone to dig trenches, the original trenches were blown up by devil cannons, and they had to be repaired, even if they were blown up in the next second, this trench still had to be dug.
Now they dig along the low walls that have been blown up to the houses, and some of them have been blown away, so they dig along the big rocks under the base of the walls.
If there is not enough time, dig a half-man-deep foxhole, then dig a communication trench along the foxhole, connect these together, and fill the sand with sacks, furniture, and cupboards as a breastwork.
……
Beginning on March 29, the devils suddenly began to attack in a frenzied continuous manner, sawing at a position dozens of times a day, and even at night without resting, constantly setting off flares and continuing to fight.
The defenders also fought like crazy, day and night, Lao Qin didn't know when it was, and he didn't know how many days he had been fighting.
On this day, I can't remember whether it was day or night, but now the night is the same as the day anyway, the flares are kept being placed, and the earth is white.
The devils once again dispatched dozens of tanks and vehicles to frantically storm the positions of the Chinese army, including those in the northwest, north, and northeast.
In the northwest of the Ninth Company on Lao Qin's side, there were more than a dozen tanks, crushed over like a mountain of steel, and at the same time, the devil's small cannons and machine guns also pressed Lao Qin and them to the point that they couldn't raise their heads.
There is no way, instead of staying in the position and being crushed by the Japanese tanks, it is better to take a few steps back and retreat a little into the Zhuangzi.
There are a lot of trenches and houses there, which can stop the tanks a little, or you can use these favorable terrain to blow up the tanks and fight the devils.
But the top is gone, Regiment Leader Huo is gone, and he can't retreat anymore, and if he retreats again, it won't take long for the devils to flatten these favorable terrains.
However, Regiment Commander Huo knew that the terrain in front was not conducive to infantry defense, so he stubbornly fought with the brigade commander and division commander to grind the battle defense artillery company left by the artillery regiment, not from the 10th Artillery Regiment, but from the newly pulled up Artillery 7th Regiment.
The newly raised 7th Artillery Regiment also wants to learn from the 10th Artillery Regiment to make a great contribution, so the battle defense artillery goes first, this kind of artillery is light, and a few people can go to the front line as soon as they pull it.
This time I brought enough shells, and the battle defense artillery company had a total of 6 guns, so I pulled four guns to Lao Qin's northwest position.
However, it was also Lao Qin and his ninth company that led the twelve tanks of the devil to the second position, which happened to resemble a large cloth bag mouth, and the terrain was more suitable for ambushes.
Company Commander Shi did not line up the four guns in a line, but formed a U-shaped formation, with two guns at the bottom and one gun on the left and right, forming a crossfire of artillery shells.
The devil tank has not found that the Chinese army has war defense artillery for several days, so it is very arrogant to attack, crush, and divide the Chinese army and positions back and forth.
This time, the twelve tanks were also, as if they were in a no-man's land, rushed into the northwest gap of Taierzhuang, and rampaged, and they did not know that the Chinese army's battle defense artillery had already laid a gossip array here, specializing in all kinds of tank dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the commander of the stone company picked up the signal gun and fired a signal flare into the sky, and suddenly the four guns fired at once, tracer bullets and armor-piercing shells were fired alternately, and the fire dragon generally hit the target tank.
The rest of the tanks panicked and scurried around, even ignoring their own people behind them, so they turned around and fled, directly crushing a lot of their own people to death.
However, this time, the careful design of Company Commander Shi did not intend to let the devil's tank slip through the net, the four guns have been firing rapidly, and under the guidance of the brilliant tracer bullets, the armor-piercing bullets followed the trajectory of the tracer bullets, and followed the tanks that hit the devils one by one.
The first was to bite a few tanks that wanted to escape, tracer bullets chased the tank's butt and hit, and the armor-piercing shells followed suit, the tank's butt was already weakly armored, where could it withstand the bombardment of 37 armor-piercing shells.
After a while, all the twelve tanks were hit, and they caught fire and exploded one after another, and the tank crews inside tried to escape, but they were all killed by the excellent shooters of the Ninth Company.
