1143. The Battle of Hanada
Wu Dingli, the commander of the seventh company, looked at the 37th anti-aircraft artillery gunner beside him with great amazement, a thin and ordinary soldier, who was like a god when he started the artillery.
Even if you change the bamboo pole of the third battalion of "artillery gods" to fight, you can't get such an amazing result, without any correction, the first three guns all hit, and they hit different tanks.
Now the three tanks were still moving and turning slowly and humming after being hit, trying to escape from this dangerous scene, but it was too late for them.
This gunner is so good at hitting tanks in motion, and it is not a problem to hit tanks that are spinning in place, and as soon as the cannon passes, the tank that is exposed on the side is turned into a ball of fire.
There was actually a movable fuel tank on the side of this tank, and this gun just hit the fuel tank, and suddenly the flames swarmed, burning the entire tank into a fireball.
Seeing that the other tank could not escape, it simply stopped and fought against the 37 anti-aircraft guns of the Chinese army.
The main reason is that they are in extreme panic, and they have not yet measured the location of the 37th anti-aircraft gun of the Chinese army, and secondly, their tank was damaged by the hit just now, and now the turret operation is a little unsmooth.
The guns of the Japanese tanks were also 37 caliber guns, and one shot blew up a big hole on the top of the headless ridge mountain, but it could not hit the three battalions of battle defense guns, and they just fired a few guns.
The battle defense artillery of the third battalion was hit by fists and meat cannons, and before the two guns went down, the two tanks that were still struggling to fight back were also broken through the baffle.
Under the blow of the armor-piercing shells and high-explosive shells of the 37th anti-aircraft gun, the inside of the Japanese tank was blown into dumpling filling, and the human flesh was filled with steel dumplings, but this was a crusty dumpling, and the steel plate on the outside was still hard.
The four tanks of the Sakamoto Nakasami Tank Squadron of the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army were killed and fled, and they were so angry that they no longer relied on the incompetent tank troops, so they immediately transferred the 92 infantry guns and began a frantic bombardment against the firing positions of the Chinese army's anti-aircraft guns just now.
The third battalion took a lot of effort to dig fortifications for this battle defense artillery, and when they saw the Japanese infantry guns sound, they immediately pulled the battle defense guns and transferred, such an important thing, the only treasure in the whole regiment, but it must be protected.
The two infantry guns of the Japanese army hid 800 meters away from the battle defense guns, and they were constantly bombarding, but no matter how powerful the weapons were, if they wanted to occupy the position, they had to be completed by people in the end.
After the Japanese infantry artillery fought for a while, it was found that the Chinese army's battle defense artillery did not return fire, and it was estimated that it had been hit or blown up.
So the infantrymen who had just done coordinated tactics with the tanks, under the cover of the 92 heavy machine behind them, began to attack headless ridge in a scattered formation.
This is nothing more than a normal traditional attack, but in the eyes of Company Commander Wu of the Seventh Company, the Japanese army is not just so simple.
The Japanese army now mainly focused on fire reconnaissance, and had to lure out the firing points of their seventh company, and then use heavy machine guns, mortars, and even infantry guns to solve the problem.
Just like the bombardment of the battle defense artillery position just now, after knocking out a firepower point, for the devil, the confidence in the attack has increased by one percent.
Since the Japanese army wanted to reconnoiter by fire, the Seventh Company could not let the Japanese know where the firepower was, so the Seventh Company, which had a majority of excellent marksmen, began to use rifles to stare at the devils and stragglers.
The Seventh Company concentrated all the Soviet-style Mosinagan rifles and gave them to the shooting teams of each squad, and these excellent marksmen, taking advantage of the accuracy and stability of the Mosinagan rifles, began to hunt down the devil skirmishers who entered the 400-meter area one by one.
In advance, the Seventh Company cleared the shooting range within 500 meters at the foot of Wutouling Mountain, which happened to be a large road and a large area of farmland.
In fact, it is all farmland, because this road has been dug into farmland by the villagers, and it is the end of March, and the fields are full of flowers and plants in full bloom.
Jiangxi people call the flowers and plants, the scientific name is milk vetch, this flower is cold-resistant, during the winter break in the farmland, the people will sow this grass seeds, after the New Year, they begin to germinate, in March and April, the fields are full of green growth.
The small flowers are red, purple and purple, and the peasants do not have the heart to appreciate this beauty, and they spend their labor to grow this flower, mainly for the purpose of feeding pigs, cattle and sheep.
In winter, there is a lot less grass in the mountains, this kind of flowers and plants are very good as fresh feed, farmers are generally reluctant to give cattle and sheep to eat, the demand is too great, less than a few days, the flowers and plants of several acres of fields will be eaten up by cattle and sheep.
It is mainly for pigs to eat, cut back from the field and chopped into minced pieces, put it in a pot and boil it in water to give it to pigs to eat, it is a good feed, and pork is sold for money to supplement the family.
Cattle and sheep can be sold for money, but they have their own feet, and they rush to the mountains to find food for themselves, even withered grass.
The roots of this flower and plant are also a good green manure, which rots in the field and acts as fertilizer to increase the mud force and fertilize the seedlings that are planted after the spring of the following year.
Originally, in this field, in addition to this flower field, there were also several paddy fields, in which seedlings were cultivated, and small tents made of dried straw were used to keep out the cold, and the seedlings were afraid of freezing.
But now because of the war, there is no one to take care of these things, and most of the seedlings are exposed, and they are soon frozen to a sparse and half-dead state.
The flowers and plants are not afraid of the cold and are blooming brilliantly, but the soldiers of the Seventh Company have no intention of appreciating these beautiful scenery, and their minds are all on doing fortifications and clearing the shooting boundary, besides, these scenery are commonplace from small to large.
The soft and glutinous flower fields have been blown up by Japanese shells, and the soil turned out is as shocking as a wound on a beautiful face.
The blood of the dead devil quickly seeped into the dirt, revealing a little brown color at most, but the green velvet winter clothes worn by the devil were very conspicuous in these lands.
The Japanese stragglers were like cowardly green crawlies, constantly moving forward, jumping from puddle to puddle, but some were shot by Mosinnagant rifle bullets, twitching, rolling and howling in the brown fields.
The 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army now has no way to take the three battalions and seven companies, first of all, the width of the position of the Headless Ridge is not large, and the strength cannot be used, and only one team of men and horses can be invested each time, and it has to be divided into several echelons to attack in waves.
Second, Headless Ridge is not an isolated position, the left and right flanks are protected by the positions of the Chinese army, and it may even attack the Japanese army in a roundabout way at any time, which cannot be underestimated.
Third, the largest firepower of a Japanese brigade was infantry artillery, and even if two infantry guns were fired together, it would be a great loss to hit some sporadic riflemen of the Chinese army.
Not only is the effect very average, such riflemen are too scattered, and the ammunition cannot be consumed, and the shells of two bases per infantry gun cannot withstand such continuous bombardment.
As for the heavy artillery in the rear and the planes in the sky, there has already been a round just now, and Sakamoto, the captain of the brigade, does not have so much power to summon the planes and artillery to bombard continuously.
