Chapter 541: Anti-aircraft guns hit balloons
The battlefield is cruel, especially this kind of life-and-death battlefield between two peoples is even more cruel; No one has the compassion to pity the wounded soldiers who are struggling on the battlefield, they just helplessly watch their brothers die on the battlefield, and then turn their grief into anger, pull the trigger of the Mauser rifle, and pour out their anger on the wounded soldiers of the devil!
In fact, the brethren of the 6th Infantry Battalion were lucky, as an all-recruited unit, their first stop was only to face a tentative attack by devils; This kind of skirmish has allowed them to be tempered, and they have already had preliminary battlefield experience, combined with the preaching of grassroots officers, they have a preliminary understanding of how to protect themselves on the battlefield!
"Ceasefire! All back to cover! Zhu Yunshuang shouted loudly, shouting to the brothers in the trench who were in a daze,
Zhu Yunshuang's loud voice made those grassroots officers react; Isn't the devil's tactic that the infantry rushes the artillery and the artillery rushes after the artillery fires? Now it's the devil's artilleryman's turn to speak!
"Gone,! Back to cover! "A company commander kicks and punches the stunned recruits, driving them back to cover! As for the observation posts, this position is no longer needed; Because their heavy machine gun bunkers are semi-underground, the wide field of view above is enough for the people inside to see the movement of 800 meters in front of the position, not to mention that there are artillery observers on this position, and the observation equipment in their hands can see farther!
The Japanese artillery hot air balloon slowly rose, and the rickety balloons rose three at once, they were the eyes of the Japanese artillery, responsible for correcting the landing point of the shells and observing the effect of the shelling! This determines that the balloons will certainly not be too far away!
It's noon, the fierce battle on the battlefield is in full swing, and the rising hot air balloon naturally lets He Jianye see it; Of course he knows what that thing is for!
"Huang Wujun, did you see the hot air balloons of the devil?" He Jianye grabbed the phone and asked,
"See, Commander; However, our anti-aircraft machine guns were out of reach, and according to the data provided by the artillery observers, it was about six kilometers from our position, and the altitude was not high; Huang Wujun said,
"Isn't there a cannon? Knock down on labor and capital! He Jianye said,
"Commander, shoot balloons with anti-aircraft guns?" Huang Wujun hesitated and asked, this is too wasteful! Anti-aircraft artillery shells are not cheap!
"Hit, how much does the devil rise? Can't you be sure about this? He Jianye said,
"Commander, make sure you have at least one shot;" Huang Wujun hung up the phone, thinking in his heart that the commander was really a waste! If the other units of the national army knew that they were using anti-aircraft artillery to shoot balloons, they would not be angry!
"Hou Shunquan, I didn't see the balloon; The commander said that he was an eyesore! Let you fight down, don't embarrass labor and management, one shot at a time; Cannonballs couldn't have been more! "Huang Wujun directly ordered the commander of the first battalion, he hasn't been shameless enough to hit balloons!
"Boom, boom, boom" The Japanese army's 75 mountain artillery and field artillery groups finally opened fire and began shelling towards the defenders' positions.
"Boom, boom, boom"
At this time, the 88 guns outside the Desheng Gate fired, and several anti-aircraft artillery shells equipped with timing fuses exploded in the airspace of the hot air balloons, and the raging shrapnel destroyed the hot air balloons, I don't know if the devil was killed directly by shrapnel or scared to death, anyway, those hot air balloons evaporated without the slightest sound!
"Haha, those guys from the artillery are bullying people! Does the little devil have to be! "Inside a heavy machine-gun bunker, two artillery observers laughed!
"Stop talking, the devils have begun shelling; Hurry up and find out the artillery positions of the devils! Then another brother said,
"The devil has only fired a few shots, let him be arrogant for a while, and when we finish fixing them up, it's time for our artillery battalion to speak!"
Two people squeezed away to watch the lively heavy machine gunners at the observation port, lying on it and carefully watching the flight curve and landing point of the devil's shells!
"Yes, the 41-type mountain cannon, and the 38-type field cannon; The distance of their shelling should be between 6 and 8 kilometers away; "The brother with the sightscope said,
Another brother quickly recorded in a small notebook, and the brother who wanted to see it in the back looked confused, they heard clearly what the first two goods said, but they couldn't understand the symbols they wrote down, just like ghost drawings!
"Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The devil knew that the defenders had anti-aircraft artillery, and he didn't play hot air balloons to observe, anyway, he already knew the location of the defenders' positions, relying on the artillery group of 56 mountain guns and field artillery, and the overwhelming shells flew towards the position;
Probably, they have not yet paid attention to the counterattack from anti-aircraft artillery, and until now they have not heard that anti-aircraft artillery can shoot flat......
The area from Lehua to Niuhang is crisscrossed by lakes and rivers, and the humidity of the land is relatively large; The 75mm shells landed on the position and exploded, landing on a large crater, the trenches and communication trenches were blown up, the earth and gravel accompanied by shrapnel raged on the position, and the wailing bushes and grass helplessly followed the shock wave; The brothers hiding in the bunker looked nervously above their heads, and as long as the anti-artillery bunker had a tendency to collapse, they would not hesitate to rush out;
"Hehe, little devil, fry it! Labor and management don't believe that your cannon can blow up railroad tracks and sleepers! Zhu Shuangquan didn't panic at all, listening to the movement, the devils didn't have the movement of heavy artillery shells above 100mm, so there should be no threat to their bunkers!
"Division commander, call from Wuhan;" In the tent of the headquarters of the 101st Division, Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fukudazo handed over a telegram from the headquarters of the 11th Army!
"Yaga! Nishiyama-kun, the aviation of the 3rd Flying Regiment can't come; They suffered heavy losses in the morning and were waiting to be repaired; The people of China are well prepared, there are at least three anti-aircraft artillery battalions in Nanchang, which are too much of a threat to our aircraft; The commander was ready to gather enough flying groups to wipe out the anti-aircraft artillery battalions of the China; How soon will our heavy artillery wing arrive? The division commander Yaheita Saito asked,
"The 101st Wing and the 11th Wing of the Independent Mountain Artillery have passed through Tujiabu and should arrive in Lehua today! The 10th Field Heavy Artillery Wing and the 13th Field Heavy Artillery Wing are still waiting for the Engineer Wing to repair roads and railways; I won't be able to arrive in Lehua until tomorrow night at the earliest! Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fukudasa said,
"Yaga! Damn the Shina people, ruined our path! Order the artillery to continue the bombardment and wipe out the cattle row! Today we are going to open up the passage into Nanchang! I hope the people won't blow up the Chungzheng Bridge, then we'll have to take a detour!" Yaheita Saito said prayerfully,
"Division commander, if the people of China have a field artillery battalion, I am afraid that it will not be good for us, and our artillery positions may be counterattacked by them! Is it to transfer positions after half an hour of shelling and then continue shelling? Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fu reminded;
