Chapter 351: The Bomber (Part I)

For a full night, the shelling of the devils did not stop at all.

By four or five o'clock in the morning, the devils had already extended their artillery fire to the trench area.

Under such heavy shelling, the troops of the New First Army could only hide under the trenches in order to avoid the shelling of the devils.

When the light of the early morning illuminates the earth, the bombardment of the devils also stops.

After a night of bombardment, the devil's artillery also had to take a break for a while.

And when the devil's attacking troops saw the scene ahead, they couldn't help but smile one by one.

The fortifications that had cost them so much damage had now been blown to smithereens.

The entire battlefield was littered with stones, and there were even a lot of weapon parts, and even a lot of mutilated corpses.

And in the trenches where the troops of the New First Army were stationed, those trenches had been turned into a mess by heavy artillery bombardment, and in some places large craters had been blown out.

In some places, the dust was piled up in a heap of dirt, and not a single soldier of the New First Army was not visible on the entire trench, nor was there a single point of fire.

In the eyes of the devils, the troops of the New First Army must have been almost wiped out in the fierce shelling.

Because the troops of the New First Army have no experience in dealing with artillery shelling, Chinese troops have suffered the most casualties in shelling in previous battles.

And even the devils don't have much to do with artillery bombardment.

In later generations, Zhang Cheng did not fight on the frontal battlefield, because the new army in later generations was prosperous and did not fight a ground war with any country at all.

As special forces, they only perform some special tasks, so their knowledge of shelling is only from movies and books.

Even Zhang Cheng initially believed that even if the devil's heavy artillery was not small, it had deep trenches and anti-artillery holes inside the trenches.

Then even if it is violently attacked by the devils, it is impossible to cause large-scale human damage.

But it turned out that he was wrong, and in just one night of shelling, they lost three hundred people, and such losses were serious for the New First Army.

If it is an ordinary army, without strict protection, this proportion will be even higher.

If there were other Chinese troops stationed here, I am afraid that there would not be many people after the night of shelling.

In the past, he also thought that the Chinese troops were completely shocked by the devil's artillery, so they were easily defeated by the devil.

But now he knew that it was not that the Chinese soldiers were too vulnerable, but that the artillery, especially the heavy artillery, was too powerful.

Heavy artillery shelling, as long as you are within a five-meter radius of the shell's landing point, then the violent shock wave generated by the explosion of the shell alone is enough to kill.

In this way, one can imagine how many casualties the soldiers suffered under intensive artillery fire.

"Yaga, prepare to attack." The shelling stopped, and the devil's troops already knew that they needed to attack.

Now the attack force on the devil's side is only a wing of about 3,000 people, which is much smaller than the previous attack of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Because the devil has more troops to guard against the first division of the army, but the fortifications of the new army have also been destroyed, and the devil does not think that the troops here will have much combat effectiveness.

Although they knew in their hearts because of the previous battle that this force would definitely carry out a final counterattack, and perhaps the intensity of the counterattack would be greater, but no matter what, they would eventually defeat the Chinese.

Hulala...... Bands of devils emerged from the ruins of the first layer of fortifications.

They began to advance towards the front, led by the Devil's Rank and Ground Commander, and they did not suffer any attack as they passed through a trench.

This is where they suffered heavy losses when they first breached the fortifications, but now it is almost flattened.

The blockhouses and second layers of fortifications that were originally densely packed behind the trenches have also been blown into ruins at this time, and the wooden structures are still burning in some places, but this does not affect the pace of the devil's attack.

Soon the devils passed through the second layer of fortifications and the bunker area behind them, revealing a large clearing in front of them.

There were two or three long trenches in this clearing, and the trenches lay in front of the entrance of Yinping Mountain.

All the devils know that this is the last line of defense of the New First Army, and the troops of the New First Army must be hidden in this bombed potholed position.

"Yaga, get ready to fight." Passing through the second layer of fortifications, the devil was already less than a hundred meters away from the trenches of the New First Army troops.

All the devils cheered up the spirit, because they had suffered too much at the hands of this army before.

However, when the devils approached forty or fifty meters, they still didn't see any enemies, and the commander of the devils' wing, Takuto Kinoshita, frowned.

He knew that the troops of the New First Army had suffered heavy losses in the shelling, but he did not think that the troops of the New First Army would really be killed by the artillery fire, which was simply impossible.

Moreover, at this time, the troops of the New First Army had no way to retreat, and it was only possible to be in this trench, and the closer he got to the trenches, the more nervous he became, and this silence made his heart furious.

However, it was already this time, and he had no other choice at all, so he simply shouted and ordered the troops to attack.

The combat force of 3,000 men was divided into three parts by him, and he guessed in his heart that even if the troops of the New First Army still survived, the strength of the troops would definitely be greatly weakened.

He sent a large number of soldiers in every direction, and in order to cope with the ferocious firepower of the remnants of the New First Army, each brigade brought in a dozen heavy machine guns from other misdirections, just to suppress the firepower of the New First Army.

But just as the devil's troops were cautiously moving forward, suddenly the loose layers of soil on the trenches of the New First Army trembled, and then one by one the gun holes leaked out of the dirt.

Kinoshita Takuto's face changed, because there were too many gun holes in the black hole.

"Hit the ......" When the devil was stunned for a moment, there was a dense sound of shooting in the trench, and then dense muzzle flames shone on the entire trench.

Sudden ...... Da Da Da ......

Ahh......hhh A scream resounded in the devil's attack troops, and the troops of the New First Army were calculating or unintentional, and carried out fire strikes when the devil's troops did not react, causing the devil's troops to lose a lot of people in an instant.

However, the devil's counterattack came very quickly, and as soon as the shooting of the new 1st Army began, the devil's charging troops immediately lay on the ground, and more than 30 heavy machine guns behind them also began to roar.

The dense firepower also enveloped the direction of the trench, and for a while, the gunfire of both sides resounded throughout the land, and there were soldiers in the trench who were hit by the bullets of the devil and fell to the trench screaming.

"Raid give!" Seeing that the troops of the New First Army were engaged in a battle with the light and heavy machine guns of their own side, the devil attacking troops lying on the ground immediately charged, and they wanted to take this opportunity to rush into the trenches of the New First Army troops.

However, before they stood up and rushed to within ten meters of the trench, suddenly soldiers with AK-47 submachine guns and assault rifles stood up in the trenches of the New First Army, and their faces were full of determination, and they pulled the trigger on the devil's troops.

Da Da Da ...... Sudden ......

The dense firepower was like a summer storm, and one by one the soldiers of the devils fell to the ground screaming, and many soldiers fell to the ground under the heavy machine guns of the devils.

However, the greater losses were the Devil's attack force, which had to retreat after suffering a heavy blow, because the firepower of the New First Army was too fierce, much more ferocious than theirs.

The weapons of the New First Army were now fully automated, and every soldier had an AK-47 submachine gun and assault rifle in his hand.

And now that it's time for life and death, they don't care about the consumption of bullets at all, so the blow is extremely crazy.

"Baga, withdraw, immediately send a message to the artillery, bombardment, bombardment, don't stop the troops' shooting of the Chinese people, I don't believe how long these Chinese people can last under the shelling of the Imperial Japanese Army." Takuto Kinoshita was beaten a little dazed.

It was beyond his imagination to be hit so hard as soon as he charged, but it made him even more angry and ferocious, and he had to keep the pressure on these New First Army troops, so that these New First Army troops had to shoot.

When the time comes, the artillery strike will definitely bring huge casualties to the troops of the New First Army.

But just as the artillery behind him began to roar, a low roar suddenly came, and then all the devil troops couldn't help but look at the sky, only to see that something appeared in the sky that they had never dreamed of.

The roaring sound of artillery resounded on the ground again, and one after another shells crashed into the positions of the New First Army units like meteors.

Rumble! With a violent explosion, the four or five who were shooting at the devil were swept away by the shock wave of the explosion not far away, screaming and being directly cut off by the powerful monolith, leaving only a blood mist.

"Hit ......"

Da Da Da ...... A large-caliber heavy machine gun produced by Yinpingshan is firing wildly at the devils.

The devil's heavy machine gun was beaten to pieces in front of this more powerful machine gun, and one by one the devil soldiers were beaten to pieces under the high-power bullets of 12.7 mm caliber.

However, while the machine gun team was firing frantically, the devil's artillery was also aimed at them.

Chirp......

There was a sharp whistling sound, and a cannonball whistled like a meteor.

"Quick, dodge!" Hu Rongda, who was not far away, couldn't help but exclaim, but it was too late.

The speed of the shells was very fast, it was very difficult to see the shells trying to dodge, and the machine gun team on board was firing, and it was impossible to dodge in time.

Bang...... With the sound of a violent explosion, the shell fell into the trench where the machine gun position was located, and the huge explosion directly lifted the machine gun team away.

The surrounding trenches also fell into a sea of fire, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the trench had long since lost its previous appearance, and the trench, which was originally one meter and five wide, was blown into a deep pit with a width of three or four meters by such a terrifying explosion.

The bottom of the pit was littered with bits and pieces of machine gun parts, as well as rags, and the machine gun team and a dozen or so soldiers around it had been swept away by the shelling.

Hu Rongda's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of pain, as long as a cannonball fell in the trench, then there would be more than a dozen casualties immediately.

This kind of shell is too much of a threat to them, and they look behind them one by one in the hope that the rear can help them resolve such a crisis as soon as possible.

Behind Yinping Mountain, four or five miles away from the battlefield, a devil's Ki-21 Type 97 bomber had just been pushed onto a cleared runway.

This bomber was a member of the bomber team in Yinping Mountain, and was one of the main bombers of the devil in the early days of World War II.

Of course, most of the planes captured at Hangzhou Airport were requisitioned by Wuhan, and this kind of bomber had a range of 2,000 kilometers and could fly in the air for up to five hours, making it the most powerful bomber of this period.

Even the U.S. bombers deployed in Hawaii and the Fried-Flyin were not as good as they were.

However, there are also shortcomings, its load is only one ton, which is much behind the bombers of the United States and Europe with a load of more than six or seven tons.

At the same time, his speed is not fast, and he can only reach 400 kilometers per hour, which is not very fast for a bomber.

In order to increase the ceiling to make this bomber reach an altitude of 10,000 meters, the devil is extremely rudimentary in self-defense weapons.

There were only two 7.7 mm automatic machine guns in front of the plane, and a 12.7 mm aviation machine gun in the back of the plane, which had poor firepower and a small carrying capacity.

However, the devil did not attach much importance to the development of fighters at this time, because his main opponent, the Chinese troops, did not even have a large-scale aircraft group, and in order to fight with the United States, the devils began to develop them, thus developing the Zero fighter and other types of aircraft.

But even so, this is enough for the new army, as long as this plane can take off, it will be a devastating blow to the devil's artillery unit.

Coupled with these weapons he has configured, it is simply a catastrophe for the devil.

Since coming to this era, Zhang Cheng never thought that he could have an airplane in a short period of time, and at the same time, he didn't know much about the aircraft of this era.

What he knew was the American B17 as well as the Flying Fortress and later the Japanese Zero, the English Spitfire, and so on.

But they don't think that they can have an air force in a short time, and the Chinese air force in this era is pitiful, and there is no way to compare with the devil's aircraft in terms of quantity and quality.

Although he seized Hangzhou Airport last time and captured so many planes, he did not keep many planes, mainly to train pilots.

Coupled with the fact that the weather was so bad that the plane could not take off at all, it never thought of using these weapons.

However, in the past two days, the weather has begun to improve, and the devil's heavy artillery troops have come, Zhang Chengcheng has moved his mind in this regard.

There are two tons of incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs in his hand, each weighing about fifty pounds, once these weapons can be thrown from the air into the battlefield of the devil, then it will be a nightmare for the devil.
