609. Textbook repression and advancement
The 184th Division pulled the largest artillery in Yuwang Mountain, which is also a mortar, while the divisional artillery battalion is equipped with mountain artillery, and the 60th Army also has a heavy artillery battalion attached to the theater, equipped with 12 150mm howitzers; The military field artillery battalion is equipped with 12 field guns with a caliber of 75 mm.
But it is impossible for these big killers to stay in a hidden artillery position in the distance in Yuwang Mountain, and they cannot appear until the critical time.
You must know that the field heavy artillery wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army has confirmed that it has arrived, and each field artillery wing of the Japanese army has 16 mountain artillery pieces and 36 field artillery pieces.
Just one field heavy artillery wing is enough for the artillery of the entire 60th Army to drink a pot. Listening to the news obtained by the reconnaissance troops, the devils now not only have men from the Fifth Division, but also troops from the 10th, 14th, and 16th Divisions are heading this way.
The 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Second Army of the Japanese Army also rushed to this side, and the Japanese artillery brigade was equipped with more than 70 large-caliber howitzers or cannons ranging from 100 mm to 240 mm.
What kind of pressure is this, the artillery wing of four divisions and regiments, and an artillery brigade, while the 60th Army adds up to only one poor artillery regiment, which is far less than the Japanese in terms of quantity and quality of heavy artillery.
If it is a mortar, it can still fight guerrilla warfare, and change places with a few shots, but for heavy artillery, it is completely impossible, you can only stay in one place to fight, and if you can't fight, you can withdraw, and if you want to withdraw, it is not so fast.
These are just artillery-to-artillery comparisons, and there is one very important opponent missing that has not been compared, and that is the Japanese aircraft.
If the heavy artillery of the 60th Army can still fight with an artillery wing of a Japanese division, then there is almost no chance of winning against the Japanese aircraft.
Even if it was equipped with a little anti-aircraft machine gun, it would only be useful against Japanese aircraft flying at low altitudes and proudly underestimating the enemy, and against bombers at a height of several thousand meters, there was no way at all.
As soon as the artillery regiment of the 60th Army fires, or as long as the devils find their artillery position, as soon as the bombers come, the artillery positions of the 60th Army are waiting to be blown away.
Therefore, now the artillery of the 60th Army has not reached the critical moment, and it will never dare to show up, and even if it does, it is necessary to plan a route for a quick retreat.
In other words, now Yuwangshan doesn't expect any artillery support, it's all on your own, this battle has just begun, it's like crying dad and calling mother for artillery support, no way.
Now, when the Japanese army upgraded their firepower to infantry artillery step by step, after finding that the defenders of Yuwang Mountain had no choice, they began to use the 92 infantry artillery boldly and flexibly.
While suppressing the defenders' mortars at a long distance with infantry artillery, the devils increased the number of infantry artillery to shoot at close range to hit the defenders' light and heavy machine gun fire points and bunkers.
This trick was very effective, and the devil's infantry artillery tactics combined with long and short not only suppressed the mortars of the 184th Division to death, but also greatly damaged the bunkers and light and heavy machine gun nests on the position.
Now the mortars in almost all positions dare not show their heads, all the heavy machine guns have almost been blown up, and only some light machine guns, still in the cracks of artillery fire, can barely survive.
As for the bunkers and bunkers that had been built so hard, they were mercilessly attacked by the devil's infantry artillery, and there were almost no intact bunkers and breastwork trenches left in the front-line positions.
Once the devil's infantry artillery tactics worked, the 92 heavy machine was immediately liberated, and the 92 heavy machine gun dared to show its head without the threat of mortars.
Moreover, the infantry guns that are fired one by one may not be able to grasp the flexible defenders' light machine guns in terms of rhythm, but the 92 heavy machines that fire in bursts can bite the defenders' light machine guns more flexibly.
Therefore, once the devils start to cluck and cluck now, the light machine guns of the 184th Division have encountered a hard time, and the heavy machine guns are naturally the nemesis of light machine guns.
Whether it is the range, rate of fire, power, etc., the heavy machine gun is higher than the light machine gun, and the two people shoot at each other, and the light machine gun only takes a beating, and it is quickly suppressed.
After seeing the defenders' light machine guns suppressed, the devil's crooked neck light machine guns began to scream happily, and they also arrogantly followed the assault infantry and moved their positions forward.
The crooked-neck machine gun belongs to the reduced version or light version of the 92 heavy machine, and in terms of range and rate of fire, it was originally inferior to the Chinese army's imitation of the Czech ZB-24 light machine gun.
On the battlefield, many devil machine gunners are very envious that the Chinese army can have such an excellent light machine gun, with a long range, fast rate of fire, easy loading, simple operation, and durability, which is simply a good gun that machine gunners dream of.
Therefore, on the battlefield of equal strength, the devil's crooked neck light machine gun is often suppressed by the Czech light machine gun of the Chinese army, and the devil can only barely get a draw through superb shooting skills.
Now that the nemesis was restrained by the nemesis, the devil's light machine gun immediately began to cover the infantry and began to move forward, ready to take the position.
Now the defenders have lost the fire support of light and heavy machine guns, and only a few single-shot rifles remain, and even such a pitiful firepower must be suppressed by the devil's light machine guns.
At least in terms of firepower, the defenders were beaten to the point that they were powerless, and of course, the battle was not fought for the sake of showing firepower, or after competing for firepower.
In the final form of warfare, infantry was needed to occupy positions. Others, no matter how lively and beautiful the fight is, that is, it is just lively and good-looking, and in the end, it still needs someone to end the battle.
Therefore, the devil's infantry is now in groups of three or three, forming a skirmish formation, with an offensive formation of more than five meters between each person on the left and right, and more than ten meters between the front and back, and begins to make an offensive leap towards the first line of the defenders' positions.
Looking at the devil's well-trained tactical movements, Tan Yizhong was not only worried about the brothers on the front line, but judging from the devil's cautious skirmish formation, the devil was still extremely afraid of the grenades of the Chinese army.
The fragments of the Chinese army's wooden-handled grenade flew up a distance of ten meters, and the killing distance reached about five meters, forcing the devils to dare not approach more than two people within five meters during the advance process, so as not to be killed by the defenders with a grenade.
If we look at the war that is now going on as a cross-section:
The Japanese army attacked in a strapple formation from high-altitude aircraft, to long-range artillery, to medium-range infantry artillery, to short-range small artillery, light and heavy machine guns, and to soldiers at the very end of the battlefield nerves.
It can be said that it is a standard textbook-style three-dimensional combat system, which brings the weapons of the Japanese army at all levels into full play, suppresses the opponent's firepower step by step, and gives full play to the strengths and advantages of the weapons step by step.
Now even the soldiers who participated in the final end of the battle, the tactical movements are very standard and effective, looking at this scene, the Japanese army wing commander Keitaro Hirano Nakasa is very satisfied.
Victory or defeat is in one fell swoop, how can a small Yuwang Mountain stop the pace of the advance of the Great Japanese Imperial Army? A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Nakasa's mouth.
