Chapter 549: Air-Ground Integrated Attack (I)
While Niuxing's position was bombarded by the devil's naval aviation, the attack of the devils of Wanshou Palace was even more violent; The 106th Division suffered heavy losses at Wanjialing, more than eighty percent of the officers below the wing commander were killed, one of the five wing commanders was seriously wounded, and three were killed, and the infantry wing was supplemented by the 11th Army except for the 123rd Wing Kijima Kasuo Nakasa; In Wuhan, Commander Gangcun Ningci spent huge manpower and material resources, and basically the 106th Division was rebuilt once; The cavalry brigade, field artillery wing, engineer wing, and baggage wing are all fully established; After a few days of fighting with the 74th Army in Gao'an, there was no result, and Junrokuro Matsuura was a proud man; This time, he must make meritorious contributions in Nanchang, and if the 106th Division suffers a fatal blow again, his best outcome will be to transfer to the reserve!
The planes of the devils bombing Niuhang were not intercepted by the artillery fire of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and nearly 100 planes of the 3rd Flying Regiment of the devils appeared from the north and west of the Wanshou Palace, and they came mixed with the anger of revenge......
"Old Wu, now the commander has all the anti-aircraft artillery battalions in your hands; The commander's order is to hold on here, and our position is related to our logistical supply and baggage; Your main task now is air defense! Leng Qi pointed to the sky and said,
"Hehe, I knew when the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion arrived in the early hours of this morning; The commander put himself in danger and defended this place, so I naturally have no reason to retreat! Don't worry! Surprise the devil today! But the infantry brothers may suffer a little! Wu Bing reminded,
"You just fight the way you do! The infantry has been idle for so long, and it's time to get to work! Leng Qi and Wu Bing high-fived each other and headed towards their posts......
The devils came with a revenge mentality, after two days of bombing, the devils already knew the approximate location of the anti-aircraft artillery positions, they made detailed plans before departure, and today they can blow up all the anti-aircraft guns of the people of China at the smallest cost!
Why is the terrain of Wanshou Palace so important, because after the devils occupied Fengxin, they faced continuous mountains and forests, and there was only one avenue leading to Gao'an, and this avenue was only the avenue in the mouth of the Chinese, and in the eyes of the devils, this road needed to be widened and leveled to pass their heavy artillery! When you arrive in Gao'an, the Jingxiang line leads to Nanchang from west to east, this road is much better, and only this road is suitable for large troops, and it is occupied by undulating mountains and forests in the north of the Beijing-Hunan line, until the Fengxin area; To the south is the Jin River; Unless the devil chooses to enter Nanchang lightly, without heavy machine guns, and only relies on rifles, grenades, and grenadiers to fight the defenders for their lives, the Beijing-Hunan line is where the devil must pass; And Wanshou Palace is stuck on the neck of the Jingxiang line!
As for the rearrangement of the artillery positions mentioned by Wu Bing, it is that Wu Bing gave up the situation of deploying defenses on the infantry's Goutou Mountain and Da Lao Mountain; Instead, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was withdrawn to the area of Jilong Mountain, south of Tadam Mountain; Jilong Mountain is not comparable to the two small dirt bags of Da Lao Mountain and Dog Head Mountain, the sufficient height and complete vegetation give the anti-aircraft artillery battalion the best camouflage, and the distance here is just right, if the devil's plane wants to bomb Wanshou Palace, it is within the strike range of the anti-aircraft artillery; Wu Bing is more and more fond of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun that has a terrifying range of 14.5 kilometers in flat fire and 10.5 kilometers in vertical!
Twenty-five anti-aircraft guns did not have any cover, they were simply camouflaged with branches; When the devil plane appeared, the artillery quickly lifted the jacket of the anti-aircraft gun; To the west and north of Jilong Mountain, twenty-five 88mm anti-aircraft guns exposed their black holes......
"Target NW, 60 degrees elevation, 2 north scale; Set altitude of 7000 meters, fire! "On Jilong Mountain, the battalion commander of the artillery gave the order for a salvo;
"Boom, boom, boom"
The roar of the 88 guns began, and all the attention of the devil's plane was on the back of Da Lao Mountain and Goutou Mountain, but they didn't expect that the artillery fire that made them terrifying in the green in the distance appeared!
The brothers of the air defense battalion watched enviously as the brothers of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion were firing hard, the devil's plane always did not come down, and they had no target if they wanted to fire; As for the positions of Da Lao Mountain and Kotou Mountain, there are no longer positions of anti-aircraft artillery battalions and anti-aircraft battalions; Now it is densely packed with infantry bunkers, and they must now rely on their own efforts to resist the attack of the devil's tanks and infantry!
"Battalion Commander Wang, the task of your 75mm field artillery is to bombard the armored clusters of devils; The predetermined artillery parameters have been set, that is, the Jingxiang Highway, which is still 300 meters away from our defensive position, as long as you don't fire too outrageously, you shouldn't be able to blow up our own position! Wu Bing held the phone in the command post and said to the commander of the second battalion of the field artillery,
"Instructor, I understand; The field artillery positions have been concealed, and I have personally checked the parameters of each cannon, and the shells will never fall on the heads of our own brothers! We're here to help! Wang Xiude said,
And the position of the 3rd Field Artillery Battalion is very dangerous, they are hidden 600 meters northwest of Da Lao Mountain, where they can cover the Dacheng area that the devils have occupied, as long as the devil's heavy artillery wing dares to show up, they will shell the devil's artillery position; But it is only more than 500 meters away from Jingxiang Road, and the light infantry of the devils can attack them through the path between the trees......
"Turn, target: anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Chinese people;" The devil's bomber formation headed towards Jilong Mountain, a distance of several hundred meters, for the planes in the air in an instant; At this time, the anti-aircraft guns of the anti-aircraft positions shelled at most once;
"Boom, boom, boom" At this time, the bombers only tried to avoid the barrage formed by the explosion of anti-aircraft artillery shells, and there was still some distance from the target bombing area.
"Woo woo ......" a bomber was hit by shrapnel, emitting black smoke and could not be controlled, the pilot of the little devil tried to control the direction, hoping to crash into the position of the Chinese people, in that case it would be considered to have completed the mission!
"Boom!" The plane crashed to the ground and detonated two powerful aerial bombs, and the mountainous terrain north of Jingxiang Road was trembling, and on the Dalaoshan position, which was less than a kilometer away from the explosion site, the brothers clearly felt the shock wave caused by the explosion of the aerial bombs, just like an earthquake, and the anti-artillery hole was swaying incessantly!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the aviation has begun their show! Are your troops ready? Under the leadership of Maeda-kun, the Chariot Group will provide eight Type 89 chariots and 12 Type 94 chariots to support your attack; "Hiroyoshi Ishiyoshi of the tank group said to the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura,
"Uga-kun, when will the field artillery wing start launching an artillery bombardment!" Junrokuro Matsuura asked,
"Division commander, the field artillery wing is waiting for your order at any time!" Uga Takeshi said that the 106th Wing of the Field Artillery was originally the configuration of the 106th Division, but this time it was transferred by His Excellency the Commander, and in the face of the division commander of the 106th Division, Uga Takeshi must be respectful!
"Nagasaki-kun, is the 147th Wing ready?" Junrokuro Matsuura asked,
"Division commander, the first brigade is ready to attack the positions of the people of China at any time!" Tadaichi Ando reported,
"Artillery fire was prepared for half an hour to destroy the forward fortifications of the China; The 147th Wing must take the Old Mountain and build a fulcrum to continue the attack on Goutou Mountain! "Junrokuro Matsuura gave the order to attack!
"Hello!" A group of officers bent down to receive the order, and stepped out of the tent where the headquarters of the 106th Division was located!
