Chapter 144: Artillery Battle! (Ask for tickets!) )
Compared with Zhao Tiehu, after he succeeded, he needed to report the situation to the brigade headquarters through the Taigu underground transportation station. The www.biquge.info Jinzhong garrison officer, who was also concerned about the situation of this military train, received a telegram from the Taigu garrison officer at the first time.
Even if the Taigu garrison knew that after this telegram was sent, he would inevitably be reprimanded and held accountable from above. But concealing this situation and not reporting it may eventually lead to the consequences that the Taigu garrison can't afford.
After arriving at the stronghold of Wangzhuang, looking at the telegram sent by the garrison officer of Jinzhong, ordering him to ensure the safety of the weapons and ammunition on the military column at all costs, the garrison officer of Taigu knew in his heart that this was his only chance to make meritorious contributions.
If he can't save this batch of supplies, then his life may not be saved. In addition to ensuring the safety of this batch of weapons and ammunition, the Jinzhong garrison officer also strictly ordered the Taigu side to completely annihilate the anti-war troops who robbed the military column.
Looking at the troops that were unfolding one after another, Yoshinaga Ichiyong, the commander of the Taigu garrison, was anxious, but he knew that he had to defeat the defense of the defenders of the stronghold. If you don't annihilate the defenders of the stronghold, you will find the military columns and supplies, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult.
Hearing the artillery squadron inform that everything was ready and that the test firing could be carried out, Yoshinaga nodded and said, "Yo Xi, you can start shelling!" Order the Imperial Cooperative Army Brigade to take this stronghold in front of you, and the Imperial Army will be greatly rewarded! ”
'Hey! ’
Although he didn't expect much from the fighting power of the Imperial Allied Army, Yoshinaga knew that there would be brave men under the reward. If the Imperial Allied Army can do its best to fight, it will be very helpful for the follow-up Japanese army to launch a general offensive.
Moreover, he ordered the Imperial Allied Army to launch the first round of attacks, and it was more to test the firepower of the defenders of the stronghold. With an artillery squadron on the side, it was possible to destroy the heavy machine-gun fire points set up by the defenders in their positions, reducing casualties for the subsequent attack.
Looking at the Imperial Association Army that began to press towards the position, Zhao Tiehu sneered: "These little devils are using these puppet armies as cannon fodder again. All units were ordered to hold their positions and resolutely destroy the invading enemy. ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
After giving the order to counterattack, Zhao Tiehu came to the vicinity of the artillery position again and began to adjust the angle of the artillery. Even if he didn't see it clearly before, Zhao Tiehu could also see that the artillery pulled by the little devil was a Type 92 infantry gun and a mortar.
If these two types of artillery are alone, the firing range is not comparable to that of the Seven or Five Mountain Artillery at all. Therefore, Zhao Tiehu aimed the four infantry guns at the artillery position of the little devil, but the seven or five mountain guns were aimed at the command headquarters set up by the little devil in the rear.
Even if it's night, the little devil's headquarters is brightly lit, which is undoubtedly the best indication and reference. After the little devil starts the shelling, Zhao Tiehu will correct the shelling parameters again, and once the shelling is done, he will give the little devil a heavy blow.
The artillery squadron accompanying the little devils was divided into two echelons and deployed, and the first to fire was the mortars of the little devils. More than a dozen mortars lined up began to hit the stronghold, causing the position to rumble with explosions.
The combat team members leaning in the trenches felt the soil kicked up by the shells falling continuously, and they also felt that the artillery bombardment of the little devils was really not small. But they all know that there are also artillery behind them ready to counterattack at any time.
The little devil's shelling began, and the captain of the Imperial Alliance Army, who was in charge of the attack, also urged his puppet soldiers to say: "Brothers, you must fight well later." Yoshinaga Taijun said that as long as we can take the position of the Dirt Eight Road, there will be a lot of rewards.
If you want to eat meat and want to live a good life, you will give me the strength to breastfeed later. With the imperial army behind us back, these dirt roads will definitely not be able to withstand it. If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, this is a good opportunity, don't miss it! ”
After some agitation, many puppet soldiers seemed to be a little moved. But for some puppet soldiers of old fritters, they know that the little devil's reward is not easy to earn, and they don't want to put their lives into it. What's the use of money if you don't have a life?
Just looking at the little devil overseers who stayed behind them, these veterans also felt afraid. I know that when I wait for the next attack, I can only act at the opportunity, and as for retreating and escaping, it must be a dead end!
For the little devils, these little devils who are responsible for supervising the war are ruthless, if they retreat in advance without an order, these little devils who supervise the war will definitely shoot. When the time comes, the puppet army that wants to survive is estimated to not survive.
The shelling began, and several hundred puppet soldiers began to advance towards their positions with their waists bent. The combat team members who have been lying in the trenches also saw these attacking puppet troops. It's just that it's still a little far away, and the fighters are still waiting quietly.
Fill the chamber with bullets, unscrew the back cover of the grenade, and wait quietly for the little devil's artillery fire to extend backwards. After all, if the little devil's artillery fire does not extend, it is also likely to blow up the attacking puppet army.
'Comrades, get ready, as soon as the little devil's artillery fire extends, immediately counterattack and give me a hard blow! ’
The squad and platoon commanders in charge of the various trenches also successively conveyed orders to prepare for battle. Yoshinaga Kazumoku, who was also watching the battle from behind, patiently watched the progress of the battle ahead, wanting to see what was different about the defenders.
As the Japanese artillery began to extend its firepower, the commander of the puppet army, who had entered a distance of 100 meters, immediately said: "Brothers, rush!" ”
As the puppet army began to accelerate its charge to the position, the combat team members who were originally hiding in the trenches to avoid artillery also turned around and raised their guns to aim. After the commander's order, the rifle machine gun and grenade were fired in full force in an instant.
After the sound of 'da-da-da', 'bang-bang' and 'boom-boom' sounded, some of the puppet soldiers who rushed to the front fell in batches. In the face of such ferocious firepower, many of the puppet soldiers who rushed behind immediately turned pale and quickly lay down on the spot.
Yoshinaga, who also saw this scene, said with a little surprise: "Why is the firepower of these dirt roads so strong?" ”
'Yes, Your Excellency Garrison, judging from our previous tentative attack, this should be the main force of the Dirt Eighth Road. However, they exposed their firepower so quickly, and it will be their turn to suffer later. ’
'Yo! Order the artillery squadron to focus on destroying the heavy machine gun fire points on the Tuba Road and clear the offensive channel for the follow-up troops! ’
Just when Yoshinaga ordered the artillery and began to prepare to clear the fire points of the defenders on the position, Zhao Tiehu also adjusted the angle of the infantry guns and sneered: "Start shelling and knock out the mortar position of the little devil." Remember, only play three rounds! ”
'Yes, Captain! The gunners are in position and ready to fire! ’
'Good shot!' The second artillery is good! Three guns are good! Hello four! ’
'Ready, put the cannons!' ’
After a flurry of sounds, four infantry guns began shelling almost at the same time. After the four shells flew out of the barrels, they quickly fell into the mortar position of the little devil, which caught the little devil's artillery by surprise.
Also caught off guard, there was Yoshinaga Kachimoku who was waiting to watch the battle from the rear. Looking at the mortar positions that were being shelled, Yoshinaga frowned and said, "What about Na? There are artillery on Tubalu? ”
'Your Excellency the Garrison, this should be our Type 92 infantry gun. It is good that their positions should be within the range of our infantry artillery positions. It is believed that it will not be long before our artillery will rush to destroy their artillery positions. ’
After three rounds of shelling, Zhao Tiehu quickly said: "Transfer the position, go to the preparatory position to prepare, and wait for the next order!" ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
Each infantry cannon fired three shells, and even if the artillery was a little unhappy, they knew that the little devil's counterattack would come soon. At this time, if you don't move your position quickly, you will be subjected to the artillery counterattack of the little devils later.
Compared with the 75 mountain guns, which were heavier, the Type 92 infantry guns were a little lighter, and several artillerymen worked together, and it didn't take long for the four infantry guns to push to the previously constructed reserve position. Not long after arriving at the reserve position, the little devil's counterattack really came.
Looking at the artillery position shrouded in artillery fire, many artillerymen said with some joy: "Hey, the little devil's counterattack is so fast!" If we hadn't withdrawn quickly, I guess this would have been really choking! ”
When the little devil infantry artillery began to counterattack, Zhao Tiehu began to calculate the location of his position, and this technique of calculating the position of the artillery position through the flight trajectory of the artillery shells was only known to Zhao Tiehu in the entire guerrilla brigade.
Therefore, at this time, it was Liu Cheng who commanded the position, and it was Zhao Tiehu who commanded the artillery. In Zhao Tiehu's view, if the artillery of the little devils is not destroyed, the troops holding their positions will suffer heavy casualties.
You must know that every soldier in the combat detachment is now a military backbone, and Zhao Tiehu is reluctant to let them have any mistakes. Out of this consideration, Zhao Tiehu personally sat in the artillery position, preparing to kill the artillery brought by the little devil in advance.
After calculating the infantry artillery position of the little devil, Zhao Tiehu also aimed a 75 mountain cannon at the place where there was a bright light. After everything was prepared, Zhao Tiehu said: "Five shots of each cannon first, see the effect of the shelling!" ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
Just as the Japanese troops under the stronghold were happy to see their artillery fire return fire, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army quickly disappeared. Four relatively muffled shelling sounds soon came, instantly freezing the expressions of the attacking Japanese puppet army.
At the same time, his expression froze, and Yoshinaga Kazumo, who was waiting at the rear headquarters. Looking at the firelight flying in the air, the Japanese guards who were responsible for protecting his safety immediately exclaimed: "Shelling! Protect Your Excellency! ”
The two guards immediately pressed Yoshinaga under his body at a glance. And a single shell also hit their temporary headquarters very accurately, and in an instant, the entire place where the headquarters was located became pitch black.
At the same time that the headquarters was hit by shells, the infantry artillery positions of the Japanese army also ushered in the baptism of three 75 mountain artillery shells. As three shells fell to the ground and detonated, the Japanese artillery who were caught off guard also screamed again and again.
The Japanese commander who was supervising the battle in front saw the sound of explosions coming from the attack on the headquarters, and his expression was instantly frightened: "Stop attacking!" Quick, go and inspect the situation at the headquarters, and make sure that your Excellency the garrison officer is safe! ”
Faced with the unexpected situation that the Eighth Route Army actually had 75 mountain artillery, many Japanese commanders realized that this battle was really difficult to find. Just because these troops want to find materials and annihilate this batch of Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that there is very little hope!
