Chapter 548: Bombing
On the field position of Niu Xing, the soldiers of the 6th Battalion honestly entered the bunker; In the communication trenches crisscrossing the position, at the entrances to the semi-underground bunkers, anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns were already on standby; As long as the devil's plane does not drop bombs at low altitudes, it is impossible to have much accuracy in the landing points of aerial bombs......
"Commander, these are all recruits here, after this round of bombing, I'm afraid most people will be confused!" Inside the underground bunker of the sixth battalion, Adjutant Lee said,
"For a recruit to grow into a veteran, he must go through the experience of blood and fire; When the recruits are confused, that's when our officers have to play their role; This is why most of the officers must be veterans; No matter how good a recruit is, as long as he has not experienced the test of war, he will not be able to become a qualified officer all of a sudden! And this kind of defensive warfare is the best crucible for the growth of new recruits! He Jianye said,
In fact, He Jianye is not worried about the casualties at all, the more brutal urban street fighting has not yet begun, and if you don't exercise and train the recruits now, when it comes to the street fighting, the death rate of the recruits will be high and scary! Recruits don't have a chance to grow if they want to;
"Boom, boom"
It was the first time that the devil's heavy bomb landed on the position of Niu Xing, and I don't know if it fell on the position; Anyway, the frightened eyes of the soldiers who stayed in the anti-artillery shelter seemed to have encountered an earthquake, and they looked nervously at the top of their heads, and a torrential rain of sediment fell in the bunker of the anti-artillery hole, and the fine sediment continued to fall......
"Cough, cough, cough......" The violent coughing sound kept coming, and no one needed to teach them, and the brothers covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves of clothes, and waited hard for the bombing to pass;
The infantry in the bunker only felt fear and lived like a year, but the brothers of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion who were on standby at the entrance to the trench and bunker were saddened, and they opened their mouths and covered their ears with their hands, praying in their mouths that the bombs would not explode around them; What's more critical is that the officers of the air defense battalion should also pay attention to the height of the devil's plane, as long as the devil dares to enter below 2,000 meters, the officer must order the air defense battalion to open fire as soon as possible!
"Boom!" The machine-gun bunker built with sleeper rails could not withstand the direct hit of the bomb, and a permanent fire point flew into the sky in the bomb, and the parts of the machine gun and the broken sleepers flew all over the sky, and the rails that served as the fulcrum flew in the air with the shock wave like duckweed in the wind, and then smashed into the position with a bang, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust......
And the aerial bombs that fell on the position directly left a large crater dozens of meters deep on the position, as long as it was around the crater, whether it was a bunker or something, all of them were reduced to nothing!
The devil's bomber formation has been completed by more than a dozen bombs, quickly turning in circles in the air, observing the landing point of their own bombs; It doesn't seem to work very well;
There was still no anti-aircraft artillery counterattack fire around the position, and the bombers behind seemed to have plans to reduce the bombing altitude, and a 96 ship increased its speed to the maximum and swooped towards the position, as if it wanted to test the firepower of the defenders' position!
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Da ......."
The anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns on the position had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and finally waited for a devil's plane to rush down; With more than six anti-aircraft machine guns and four 20mm anti-aircraft guns firing together, the devil plane had a tragic ending, exploding directly in mid-air, emitting a big fireball!
"Yaga! continued high-altitude bombing; "The devil navigator at high altitude gave a command with his wings, and the rest of the devil planes continued to waste their bombs at high altitude, the efficiency of high-altitude bombing is really not very good, even if they reduce their speed, but at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, there is only an area of less than five square meters on the cattle on the ground, which is too difficult!
"Boom, boom, boom"
It seems that the devil will not carry out low-altitude bombing until he destroys all the anti-aircraft artillery, and the devil's naval aviation has already lost one plane, and now it has become very cautious, scattered in formation, swept through the high altitude one by one, hurriedly dropped the bombs, and then quickly returned;
"Yaga! the red deer of the navy; The commander of the 101st Division, Saito Yahei, who was watching the battle on the ground, scolded,
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, let's order the field artillery and mountain artillery to open fire! After all, the position of the people of China will still have to be taken by our army! Moreover, as long as the naval aviation can abide by the agreement, it is enough to keep an eye on the artillery of the people of China at high altitude; So that we can attack with confidence! Chief of Staff Nishiyama Fukudasa said,
"Well, order the field artillery and mountain artillery to start shelling, notify the 103rd Wing Tanigawa Kozo Osa; Attack in half an hour! Saito Yahei gave the order with a dark face,
Originally, Saito Yahei thought that the occupation of Nanchang was an easy task like an outing, and the 19th Army of the Chinese people had been beaten into a rout, and all the high-level leaders of the 11th Army thought that Nanchang was captured; No one thought that such an elite city defense force was hidden here; It is estimated that the 101st Division, which has just completed the remedial training, will be seriously injured again!
"The First Brigade, ready to attack; The artillery is right behind you! "On the starting position, Tanigawa Kozo ordered loudly,
The devil's bombardment of the Niuhang position is finally over, and the infantry is already preparing to attack;
"Come out and clear the trenches and the trenches; The officers are in their positions and ready for battle; The devil is coming! Zhu Shuangquan ran wildly in the trenches, shouting at the exits of the anti-artillery holes;
The officers of the 6th Battalion got out of their bunkers and shouted orders to the soldiers to go to their positions and prepare for defense, and the casualties had been counted! In the bombing and shelling just now, the 6th Battalion lost more than 100 soldiers, more than the casualties of the anti-aircraft battalion at the exit of the trenches and bunkers......
Most of the bodies of the fallen soldiers were missing, and some were made into parts; The other part collapsed directly on the ground along with the bunker, and the brothers didn't dig anymore, so let these people be buried here!
"The crater on the left, go to two machine guns;" Zhu Shuangquan looked at a big pit on the left flank of the position and shouted frantically;
It turned out to be a permanent shelter for a heavy machine gun, and the machine gun fire point built with sleepers and railroad tracks was originally one of the support points for this position, but it could not resist the bombardment of the devils, and a heavy machine gun and a squad of brothers inside are now gone! Fortunately, their own light machine guns are enough, and they can only be supplemented with light machine guns!
"Don't even rush to fire! Listen to me! Mortar platoon, choose your own position, your mission is to blow up the devil's heavy machine guns, grenadiers and mortars! Don't skimp on ammo! "Zhu Shuangquan has become the busiest person now, the fighting enthusiasm inspired by the commander in the morning has dissipated, and the recruits are looking at the big pit on the position with pale faces, it seems that there is no cover to ensure the safety of their lives!
"Don't be nervous, the devil is going to come up and fight us hand-to-hand after all; Remember what the instructor taught you on the training ground and relax; Devils are also people, have you forgotten how we beat those devils yesterday? Didn't we shoot you like rabbits a few hundred meters away? The veteran squad leader took advantage of the last gap before the battle to softly comfort the brothers who were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled!
