Chapter 262: The Power of MP38 (4)
When four violent explosions exploded in Foziling, which had been plowed by artillery fire, Sun Yumin's heart also shook violently a few times, and he hadn't heard such a shocking sound for a long time.
Although the 125mm caliber howitzer is not as exaggerated as the large-caliber artillery of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, it is almost the best weapon that the national army can handle. Originally, there were only 12 artillery regiments of the 20th Division, but now there are only 4 artillery regiments in the 48th Army.
Hearing this familiar roar, with MP38 in his hand, Sun Yumin suddenly added a lot of pride, and he excitedly shouted at the two neatly lined soldiers behind him: "Brothers, let the devils really see the power of our Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment today." ”
Dai Cunxiang, Huang Wei and Dong Wenbin gathered around Sun Yumin, waiting for his instructions, and the three of them were also from the Central Army, and the sound of the 125mm caliber howitzer could naturally be distinguished.
"Boss, it seems that Liao Lei's side is really moving this time, and even the cannon to watch the family has been pulled out."
Dai Cunxiang's face was also full of joy, before he was worried that his own small cannons would not kill the devils in the town too much, but now with the first bombardment of these guys, even if they can't eliminate the living force of many devils, they will definitely give the devils some heavy blows, and it can be regarded as a great help to himself, at least when he hits in a row, the casualties will be reduced a lot.
"Yes, since the fall of Nanjing and the defeat of Xuzhou, General Liao has stood in Anhui for more than two years with his own strength, and the devil has no choice but to help him, what a brave man."
Sun Yumin lamented that such an anti-Japanese general would die of illness in a few months, and every time he thought of this, he would feel very pity.
"Is Xiaoshanzi back?" After Sun Yumin sighed, he immediately asked again.
"Not yet, but the national troops in our front positions have apparently received some order to withdraw from the outposts scattered in our direction."
Dong Wenbin replied, his face was also full of smiles, but unlike Sun Yumin, he was happy with the mental outlook of his company, since the last ambush, the losses of the third company were too serious, it was said that it was a veteran company, but compared to the first company and the second company, it was almost not much better than the recruit company, but this time he pulled it out, and the military quality and discipline shown were on par with the first company, which made him feel more face-saving.
"Are Lin Sheng's cannons ready?"
Sun Yumin asked again.
"I have already sent someone to report before, they are all ready, all our small cannons have been pulled, and Lin Yuanping's guard platoon has also been borrowed by him as a guard."
This time it was Huang Wei who answered, although he only joined in Huoshan, but the talent and loyalty he showed had already been accommodated by everyone and entered the inner circle around Sun Yumin.
"Very good, let's go up to the national army position first, and as soon as their artillery stops, we will prepare to start attacking."
Sun Yumin was bent on training his own troops' infantry artillery to fight together, although he would risk being mistaken by his own artillery, but if he really let him achieve this goal, then the devils who met him in the future would have to suffer.
Infantry artillery coordinated operations, at this stage, even the well-trained and well-equipped Japanese army can not do it, Sun Yumin harshly asked the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment to do this, although there has been such a drill, but in actual operation, he is also bottomless.
So this time he planned to steal the sky and sea, and force the attack without the artillery knowing. This is really a test of his own psychological endurance, and it is also considering the ability of artillery to withstand pressure, and the brave spirit of the soldiers of one company and three companies.
Sun Yumin didn't know at this time that when his artillery found out that they were shelling, his own troops actually attacked the town, how they would react at that time, whether they would be soft, and whether they would dare to continue shelling.
When the howitzers of the 48th Army Artillery Battalion began to extend their fire, Sun Yumin pulled the bolt of the MP38 and shouted: "Brothers, kill the devil." ”
In the jaw-dropping shock of the men of the third company and the national army troops on the original position, more than 150 soldiers of the first company, under the leadership of Sun Yumin, Dai Cunxiang, and Huang Wei, like an unstoppable torrent, discharged towards Foziling, which had been plowed twice by artillery fire.
In the temporary division headquarters of the 176th Division, Ou Shounian received a field call from the regiment below, saying: "The troops of the two companies wearing the uniforms of the national army have already gone to the field, and the short guns in their hands are all like never before. ”
After hearing this report, Ou Shounian couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Sun Yumin's gourd.
Nine shells from the four howitzers of our artillery battalion had been fired, and the last one was symbolically extended, and then it calmed down. Even if Ou Shounian wanted them to fire a few more rounds, it was impossible, Zhang Yichun only gave forty shells, and no matter what the situation was in front of them, they had to retreat.
He was sighing, if the shells could be managed like a devil, the battle of the 176th Division would be much easier.
The phone on the table rang again, and Ou Shounian grabbed it casually, in fact, he didn't have to guess, he knew that it must have been reported from the position, Sun Yumin had entered the town with two companies, although he was basically sure in his heart, but he still wanted to hear this fact with his own ears.
The report on the phone was similar to what he thought, as soon as the artillery was over, Sun Yumin personally led people to the town to kill, the only thing that surprised him was that he only brought one company, and the other company was left in the position.
What is he doing here? Ou Shounian was completely stunned, he couldn't figure out what Sun Yumin's plan was, it was not enough for two companies to attack it, he only brought one company, did he really want to send him to death?
In the midst of his doubts, the echo of the shelling explosion suddenly sounded in the mountains, and it was a series of echoes, although the sound of the explosion was not as good as its own 125mm caliber howitzer, but the number completely made up for this shortcoming, and the momentum was obviously more intense than the previous shelling.
"Who's firing? Don't you know that there are already troops already fighting into the town? Hurry up and stop. ”
After Ou Shounian heard this series of noises, his first reaction was which regiment surrounding the town was bombarding with mortars, but when he thought about it, he knew the equipment of his 176th Division, no matter which regiment could not have so many small artillery, unless the small artillery of the entire division was concentrated, it would not be able to fight this kind of momentum at all.
The chief of staff quickly inquired about the two regiments involved in the encirclement, and even about the other two regiments that had set up blocking positions, and the answer was no, the artillery was not fired by the troops of the 176th Division.
Is it the shelling of devils? No, if the devil still has the ability to launch an artillery bombardment of this scale at this time, then his own position will definitely be damaged, and if this is the case, the phone calls on the position have already come in, which can be completely ruled out.
Could it be that Sun Yumin's own troops fought it? It's not right, I have already received a report before, he personally led the team into the town, and now the shelling, isn't it filling himself into the artillery fire?
"Let's go, go to the battlefield, I want to see with my own eyes what this Sun Yumin is like in the end."
Ou Shounian said to the chief of staff, since he can't guess it, it's better to see it with his own eyes.
"Master, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, it is too dangerous on the battlefield."
The chief of staff and the commander of the guard battalion dissuaded at the same time.
"What's wrong? Sun Yumin has the courage to lead a company to the enemy's heart, and someone in my district doesn't even have the courage to go to the battlefield? ”
Ou Shounian's words blocked the mouths of the two of them at once.
…………
Wu Linsheng was happily watching the gunner firing the shells, he was a layman, and he didn't know what coordinates, curved shots, and direct shots were at all about these professional things. In his heart, the reason why the boss sent himself over was actually to give the second company a name, this battle was not only fought by the first and third companies, but the second company also participated, as long as he protected these cannons and gunners, the task would be perfectly completed.
He is very leisurely, although the artillery position is not far from the front line, there is a regiment of the national army guarding the position, and there are one and three companies with the boss, basically it can be said that he can sit back and relax.
"Company Commander Wu, Company Commander Wu ......"
A voice came eagerly from a distance, followed by a soldier who rushed to the ground, seemingly very anxious.
Wu Linsheng looked at it and saw that it was an observer sent by himself.
"What's wrong? A blazing look. ”
Wu Linsheng was a little displeased, if his own soldiers were so panicked on the battlefield, he had to reprimand him well.
"No more shelling, no more artillery, the boss has already led people to rush into the town." The observer was originally observing the impact point, but suddenly found that at the same time as his own artillery bombardment, Sun Yumin actually led the troops to charge, which frightened him a lot, although he was an observer for a short time, but he also knew that charging under artillery fire, almost carrying his head to die, it stands to reason that a veteran general like the boss should not make such a low-level mistake, but the facts in front of him made him have to believe this fact, so he hurriedly ran to stop and report.
"What?" Wu Linsheng was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, and his whole body was excited, and the whole person bounced up directly from the ground, and ran to the captain holding the command flag in three steps and two steps, and shouted loudly by pulling his throat: "Hurry up and stop the shelling, the boss has been killed." ”
"Company Commander Wu, don't make a fuss, I expected the boss to do this before the cannon was fired." The artillery squad leader did not look nervous, but looked relaxed.
"What do you mean?" Wu Linsheng didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Lin Sheng, you have been busy training troops recently, and you rarely care about the affairs of our artillery detachment. The boss has often run to my side recently, discussing the integration of infantry and artillery into actual combat, but he is worried that the psychological quality of the gunner and the charging soldiers will be afraid, so this matter has been put on hold, and now that I have seized such an opportunity, I expect that he will make dangerous moves, use actual combat to prove that this is feasible, and use his courage to eliminate the fear in the hearts of artillerymen. ”
The artillery squad leader is called Shi Shehua, who used to be a company commander under Sun Jiehai, and after the news of Sun Yumin's determination to leave the 20th Division came, he followed Dai Cunxiang's footsteps without hesitation and came to Wuhan. This seems to be a step to self-destruct his future, but it saved his life, the battle on the Yangtze River, Sun Jiehai's artillery regiment was wiped out, and he escaped this catastrophe because he had followed Sun Yumin. Although the guns of the Yangshupu Volunteer Regiment were all small-caliber and there were not many in total, he became the owner of these guns and became the object of competition among several company and battalion commanders.
"Shehua, are you serious?"
Although Wu Linsheng believed his words, he was still a little uneasy.
"Seriously!" Although Shi Shehua was explaining to him, his eyes were always staring at his soldiers, and when he saw that Zhu Yuan had been set, the red flag held high in his hand was thrown down again, and his mouth was also shouting: "Release." ”
More than a dozen mortar shells and grenades flew towards Foziling, which was already in ruins.
Hearing the sound in the air, Sun Yumin showed a smug look on his face. This Shi Shehua finally did not disappoint himself, and he was not soft at all at the critical moment, and this kind of errand may not be as good as he is. It seems that he is a talent worthy of living and training.
The artillery is not thin, and the soldiers of the first company, you will not be thin.
Sun Yumin looked at the vigorous warriors surpassing him, he was a little embarrassed, he ran outside, in less than two months, he had been surpassed by these boys, it seems that this month of training still did not make him back to the best state.
More than a dozen shells exploded dozens of meters in front, and the dust that shook up filled the area, as if it was deliberately trying to form a company to cover and charge into the town.
They were about to enter the town, but the company had not yet encountered any resistance, which showed that Sun Yumin's dangerous move was a great success.
The artillerymen withstood the pressure, the task was done very well, and then it was the turn of the first company to perform, and it was time to give the devils a taste of automatic firearms.
In the dust, MP38 finally let out its first gunshot on the battlefield in China, and this pleasant gunfire stirred the blood in Sun Yumin's heart. This first gunshot was followed by two, three, ten...... More MP38 charges let out a roar, and although there were some 92-style heavy machines and crooked handles, it was not at all a level compared to the chaotic and irregular gunfire like fried beans.
Sun Yumin was "blocked" by Huang Wei and a platoon commander, but still quickly rushed through this dust, and there was no time for him to stop and take a closer look at this scene like a massacre, a company of soldiers with submachine guns was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the powerful endurance of automatic firearms was almost slaughtering these once invincible devils.
Sun Yu's principle of fighting a war has always been not stingy with ammunition, even if there is no rice to boil tomorrow, he will not let the soldiers take their lives to fill it in order to save a few bullets.
So it's a very happy thing to be a soldier under him, when the MP38 killer weapon was declared by him to supply unlimited bullets, a company of soldiers who will save bullets for him, after the first taste of this pleasure, it is even more out of control, most of them are still holding the devil soldiers of the 38 big cover, no matter how well-trained, no matter how not afraid of death, but also can not resist the powerful automatic fire.
The arrogant Inuzaburo Inamoto would never have thought that after laying down the Buddha Ridge, the seized materials would become someone else's stuff before they were lucky; He would never have imagined that this seemingly simple expedition would cost him his life; He would never have imagined that before he died, he saw the submachine gun that shined in the European battlefield, and the first time he went to the battlefield after crossing the ocean to China, it would actually be in front of his eyes.
