Chapter 42: Shooting
If you are not convinced of this kind of thing, you can't do it, the devil's artillery is higher than ours. The devil's second shell still accurately found another of our defense guns.
Thankfully, after several rounds of shelling, the artillery of our army finally found the spot, and before the artillerymen were shot, the shells fired finally found the right position, and the two shells hit the devil's cannon almost at the same time.
Due to the different calibers and models of the cannons on both sides, there was no head-on collision of shells in the air, and the shells fired by both sides passed by in the air according to their respective flight trajectories, and the final result turned out to be a lose-lose situation! The heavy artillery on both sides was destroyed at the same time, and the artillery of both sides was killed at the same time!
The devil used one cannon and exchanged two guns for two guns of our army. The eyes of the artillery battalion commander Fan Berlin were red, "Open the gun!" Fire! With the roar of the battalion commander of the major, he finally found his senses, but it also became a unique 37 battle defense gun and began to exert its power, towards the group of devils on the river beach. One by one, the cannonballs accurately flew into the group of devils and exploded, and the groups of devils were blown up into the sky, and mules, horses, carts, and guns flew in the sky with the devils, and this scene was called a rare spectacle.
More than 3,000 soldiers of the 500 regiment and the independent regiment also charged the devils. The ambush on the riverbank is not only effective against the devils, even if our warriors rush in, they will also be fettered. Wang Dazhu and Zhang Erxiao led the troops to shoot at close range on the edge of the river beach. The total size of the river beach is that large, and the rifle bullets can completely shoot through the positions of the devils.
Although our fighters are not as accurate as the devils, we have a lot of them! Hundreds of devils, hundreds of guns, facing thousands of guns, how can devils not suffer? However, devils are devils, and if they were killed so easily, the War of Resistance would not have lasted for eight years. In the face of the superior strength of our army, the desperate devils are still frantically counterattacking.
The combat effectiveness of the devils at the brigade level is still quite strong, and there are also many heavy weapons of mass destruction, such as light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and if our army is not several times larger than the enemy, we will not be the opponents of the devils with these machine gun grenadiers alone. Fortunately, Gao Quan not only has many more people than the devils, but even heavy weapons such as machine guns have been supplemented by Chief Hu, not less than the devils.
As soon as the devil's machine gun burst out, the soldiers of our army fell into a piece, and as soon as our machine gun returned fire, the devil also fell into a large piece. This is true on machine guns, but in terms of grenadiers, but with different characteristics. The grenadiers of the devils hit them very accurately and specifically in places where our soldiers are concentrated, but our grenadiers can be hit at will, as long as there are devils, just let them go, because the devils on the river beach are dense everywhere. Coupled with the light and heavy mortars equipped by our army, the two armies began to shoot at each other, and the devils naturally suffered losses.
Although the lethality of the grenadier is limited, it is also a kind of small cannon, and if this thing is played well, it will be terrible. Although the range of the grenadiers of the little devils is not too far, now the two armies are shooting at close range, and the distance between them is only two or three hundred meters. Coupled with the light machine guns that the devils are equipped with in each squad, the skills of the machine gun shooters are a little higher, and our army is more passive.
"Artillery battalion mortar, give me a grenadier aimed at the devil!" Gao Quan didn't run to the front with a gun this time, how can he say that he is also a dignified major general and brigade commander now, and he always rushes to the front as a soldier, so what's the matter? When the two armies were fighting fiercely, he held his binoculars and closely followed the battle situation. As a commander, it is his job to be able to do excellent on-the-spot scheduling. At the critical moment, or when the victory is in hand, as a commander, charging into battle with a gun and the soldiers can boost morale, but it is also easy to lead to poor command.
Gao Quan saw that the devil's grenadier was too threatening to his army at this time, and only then did he remember that just now, his side exchanged two battle defense guns for a devil's heavy artillery, and now there are so many mortars on his side, why don't you use them for the devil? Knock out the grenadiers of the devils, and the devils will not have a lot of barriers?
The mortars of our army began to take the initiative to look for grenadiers from the devils. Although the gunners are unfamiliar with technology, their enthusiasm for fighting is still relatively high. If you miss two hits, then hit the third and fourth hits again until you hit. The devil's grenadiers are all equipped in the squad, a squad of more than 50 people has three pairs of grenadiers, this guy is easy to carry and powerful, in ordinary battles, the threat to our fighters is great. However, it is precisely because of the portability of this thing that the grenadier and the light machine gunner are mixed with the devil infantry. Although our mortars were a little worse in accuracy, the general direction was not bad, and when they went down, they often missed the grenadiers, but blew down a few of the nearby devil soldiers. Intentionally planting flowers does not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade. This is a windfall.
After the two armies fought each other like this, the casualty ratio of our army was slightly larger than that of the devils. With the training level and weapons and equipment of the devils, the casualties of the 500 Brigade should be greater. This is also due to the advantages of terrain and position. As soon as the devils entered the river beach position, they were calculated by us. The place is small, there are traps everywhere under your feet, and there is a deep and rapid river behind you, and the little devils have long panicked. Surrounded on three sides, facing water on one side, in such a desperate situation, if the combat effectiveness of the devils does not decline, there will really be ghosts.
Noda is not only a brave general, but also an experienced commander. In this kind of frantic shooting with the squadron, although the Japanese army can still kill and injure a large number of Chinese soldiers, their own casualties are not small, and the casualties may be slightly less than that of the squadron, but this is by no means acceptable to Noda Shaosa. The squadron **** team obviously has many more people than him, according to Noda Shaoza's estimate, at least one division of the squadron ** is surrounding him, and if he fights one-on-one, the result can only be that his brigade is completely killed by the Chinese!
Shao Zuo is unwilling, he is not willing at all! While scolding the reinforcements of the division and regiment headquarters in his heart, he desperately organized the troops to counterattack. The soldiers of the Noda Brigade used their flesh and blood to find what seemed to be a relatively flat ground, and the headquarters of Shaoza was now stationed here. Just when Noda Shaoza was already desperate, a roar sounded in the sky, planes! The Japanese planes are finally here!
When Noda Hongyi heard the sound of the plane, of course Gao Quan also heard the roar of the devil's plane. Hearing the rumbling and approaching sound, Gao Quan's face changed. What to do? It is impossible to withdraw, and now it is only necessary to rely on the will of the soldiers, and it is time to put it to the test whether or not your own army can become an iron-blooded army!
