1107. Shelling of the Japanese positions in Xiamaxi

It is also a coincidence that the three battalions have caught all the troops after the Japanese army has been broken, and each time it is larger than the other, and it is obvious that the soldiers of the third battalion are a little unhappy now.? ww?w?.?

Why do you always let the third battalion do these dirty work, how good it is to pursue the big army of devils, there are many results, great meritorious service, and easy, sometimes you can get a lot of benefits just by running and chasing after the big army.

But to fight these Japanese troops who are sticking to important places, everyone has a headache, but the task is down, it must be completed, and Commander Liu Guangyu has no choice, whoever let his troops surround this enemy at the earliest, it is impossible to call other troops to replace the 152nd regiment.

Facing the infantry artillery and arsenal of the Japanese army on the high ground on this side of Xiamaxi, Liu Guangyu and several battalion commanders such as Luo Zhicheng, Chen Chuanjun, and Chang Demao were discussing tactics.

Now we can't fight anymore, so we can only surround it first, contain the enemy and can't break out, and the Japanese army will not break through rashly.

They know very well that as long as they leave the arsenal and infantry artillery, they will immediately lose their bargaining chips to compete with the Chinese **, and they will drown in the sea of thousands of Chinese soldiers.

So they can only hold their positions, waiting for rescue or the main counterattack, after all, this is not far from Meiling, and the Japanese army will fight back, it is very fast.

Therefore, the Japanese army will not break through for the time being, but will only hold on, so the 152nd Regiment is not afraid of the Japanese army forcibly breaking through, in fact, it is also looking forward to the devil doing this, of course, no matter whether the enemy does it or not, we must first prepare to deal with the enemy's breakthrough.

At some commanding heights on the periphery, the 152nd Regiment occupied them, and they did not dare to use mortars or heavy machine guns, so they were all temporarily distributed, laying three blockade lines for the Japanese troops in Xiamaxi.

Now how to deal with the order issued by the division headquarters, the division headquarters made it clear that it would annihilate the enemy in Xiamaxi, Luo Zhicheng felt a bit ridiculous.

Knowing that the 152nd Regiment had no offensive weapons and no artillery to confront the Japanese infantry artillery, if there was no artillery, even if the entire 51st Division was pulled over, it might not be able to defeat a Japanese brigade in Xiamaxi.

Luo Zhicheng didn't say these words, but when he thought of the artillery, he immediately blurted out: "Isn't there a mountain artillery in the artillery battalion of the division headquarters, please ask the artillery battalion of the division headquarters to come to support." ”

Liu Guangyu slapped his thigh: "Yes, you see, I was in a hurry with the Japanese army and forgot about it." ”

Before, the 152nd Regiment and the 151st Regiment were together, and there was no superior to command, and there was no way to make peace with many decision-making things on both sides.

Now there is only 152 regiments, Liu Guangyu can call the shots alone, and there are more ideas, but Luo Zhicheng reminded him in time.

Regiment Commander Liu immediately connected the phone to Division Commander Li and asked for support from the artillery battalion, and Li Tianxia also learned about the situation of the Japanese army in Xiamaxi in advance, and knew that it was a little difficult to insist that the 152nd Regiment should be taken down.

But now it's dangerous not to take it down, but the artillery battalion also belongs to the treasure of the division headquarters, and now that it is so close to Nanchang, the Japanese planes will come over at any time, and the artillery battalion will pull over, and there is still a risk.

In case the main force of the Japanese army comes back and forth, the artillery battalion will not be able to move fast all of a sudden, and if the artillery battalion is lost, then he, the division commander, will probably come to an end.

But it is not a matter to refuse the 152nd Regiment, the 152nd Regiment also has difficulties, otherwise it will not speak, Division Commander Li pondered for a while, and told Liu Guangyu that he would ask the artillery battalion to send a company and pull two mountain guns over.

Originally, Liu Guangyu heard the division commander muttering, and he felt that this matter was a bit hanging, and it was estimated that the division commander was also a little embarrassed, but then the division commander agreed to pull two cannons, so he naturally accepted it gladly, which was much better than no cannons.

As soon as the news came, everyone began to prepare for the coordination of the infantry artillery, and the performance of the mountain artillery was a grade higher than that of the infantry artillery, even if it was two cannons, it could suppress four infantry cannons.

After all, the difference in range, rate of fire, and ammunition was there, and as soon as the two guns of the divisional artillery battalion pulled over, they immediately beat the devil's infantry artillery to the point that they couldn't stand it.

The 75 caliber of the mountain artillery shells is larger than the 70 caliber of the 92 rifle gun, and the amount of ammunition is naturally larger.

After a few artillery shots from the division's mountain artillery, several Japanese artillery positions were blasted open, and some Japanese artillery men were still desperately scrambling to pull away the infantry guns and hide.

But the mountain artillery did not give them this opportunity, and the continuous rapid fire blew up the devils, the artillerymen and transport troops, all flying all over the sky, and the infantry artillery was also blown down the mountain.

What is even more terrifying is that the shells of those infantry guns were hit by the shells of the 75 mountain guns, which caused a strong explosion, which shook the ground and shook the mountains, and a black cloud rose in the devil's artillery array.

After killing the devil's infantry artillery, the division's mountain artillery quickly withdrew, and Liu Guangyu of the 152nd Regiment also knew the fighting method of the artillery battalion, for fear that the devil's plane would come to bomb them, so he withdrew first.

However, on the side of the 152nd Regiment and the 3rd Battalion, the infantry and artillery coordination had already been done, and the mortars and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company took advantage of the residual power of the mountain artillery to attack and suppress some of the Japanese machine gun positions.

At the same time as the mountain artillery opened fire, the infantry advanced to the line of life and death of nearly 300 meters, and the barrage kept rising in front, and if they went further, they would be hit by shrapnel.

However, there are still some soldiers who are not afraid of death, in order to get closer to the Japanese position, they are still moving forward, risking being injured and killed by their own shells, but they also want to continue to move forward, just to get closer to the Japanese position at the moment of the charge.

It seems that he is still more afraid of the devil's accurate marksmanship, the fragments and shock waves of the cannonball, relatively speaking, as long as he lies on the ground, the probability of being hurt is less than the probability of being hit by the devil's bullet.

However, the skirmishers of the three battalions were not simply coordinated with infantry and artillery, but a large number of grenadiers were added, and almost the grenadiers of the entire battalion of infantry companies were sent to the field.

There were several dozen grenadier groups, under the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns behind them, as well as excellent marksmen of the infantry, constantly moving to the area of two hundred meters.

Now the grenadier of the first class in China has also learned the technology of the Japanese grenadier, and the improved grenadier in the rear military industry can also fire a straight-line distance of 200 meters.

The emergence of any new weapon, or the improvement and progress of old weapons, will bring a tactical enrichment to the army, and if there is a powerful weapon, it will be an innovation in military tactics.

Now the improvement of the technical performance of the grenadier has once again enriched the offensive tactics of the infantry detachment, and in the early stage of the offensive, as long as there is sufficient firepower to support it, when the grenadier can advance to the 200-meter area, there is a lot to be done.

At present, more than 20 grenadier groups in the battalion immediately found a suitable hiding place and firing position after entering the 200-meter area.

When more than 20 grenades rushed into the sky and descended on the Japanese army's first defensive position, a new barrage was formed at once, and on this company-level offensive and defensive width, which was only one mile wide, it created a relatively saturated fire suppression on the defending enemy.

Each grenadier group carried out the rhythm of three bombs and one fog, that is, after three high-explosive shells, followed by a smoke bomb, rapid fire, after the grenade of one base, the Japanese first defense position was almost a smoke-filled ruin.
