Chapter 181: Recovering Hangzhou (13)

A large number of little devils began to prepare for the attack, and thousands of little devils moved forward, and soon, a large number of little devils appeared in front of the soldiers' positions, and these devil soldiers seemed to be unscrupulous, not afraid of being exposed at all.

More than 3,000 little devils were blatantly preparing for the attack, and the soldiers on the position soon saw the movements of these little devils, and on the entire position, the soldiers entered their combat positions one after another, ready to fight.

Minutes and seconds passed......

At about three o'clock in the second half of the night, the preparations on the devil's side were basically ready, and the artillery squadron was also ready for shelling, and the 12 75-mm mountain guns were about two kilometers away from the fighters' positions, and the muzzles of the guns were already aimed at the soldiers' positions.

The little devil infantry who participated in the first round of attacks may have been an infantry brigade, and these thousands of little devils have already entered the attack position, less than a thousand meters from the front of the soldiers' positions.

The rest of the little devils are already on standby, although they have not entered the attack position, but they are also ready to work, as long as they give an order, they will soon participate in the attack.

A big war is about to break out.

The fighters on the ground.

It may be that the little devils of Zhilu Dao are about to attack, and the soldiers have all entered the battle state, and the commander of the first infantry regiment is standing in front of his headquarters, staring intently at the large number of little devils that vaguely appear in the distance.

"Chief of Staff, ask again how long it will take for the artillery regiment to open fire." The head of the regiment asked.

The chief of staff of a regiment next to him turned around and entered the temporary headquarters, and soon came out again to report: "Regiment seat." The artillery regiment replied that there were about fifteen minutes left before the artillery could be fired. ”

"Fifteen minutes." The commander of the regiment groaned for a moment, and then said, "I estimate that in a few minutes, the little devils will start attacking our position." Apparently on the opposite side was a field infantry wing of the little devils, which must have been equipped with 75mm mountain guns, and the first round of attacks by the little devils must have started with artillery bombardment. ”

After speaking, the commander of the regiment continued: "Tell the fighters to prepare for artillery bombardment, the soldiers may have to endure the shelling of the little devils for a few minutes, in addition. Order all our mortars to be ready, and once the artillery regiment destroys the mountain artillery of the little devils, all our mortars will launch artillery shelling on the crowd of the little devils. ”

The infantry regiment was armed with 6 120-mm mortars. In addition, each battalion was armed with 81-mm mortars, this time, against the infantry of the little devils. These mortars are just the right thing to do.

The beginning of the discovery of these little devils. The first regiment reported the situation, and the artillery regiment of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, not far from here, rushed over and quickly built an artillery position.

Now, the position of the artillery regiment is about a thousand meters behind the position of a regiment, about two or three kilometers from the little devils, and the 24 105-mm American howitzers of the artillery regiment, under the tow of the M3 half-track armored vehicles, quickly came here and immediately made preparations.

The soldiers of the artillery regiment quickly prepared to fire at the little devil. However, the 12 75-mm mountain guns of the little devils were the first to start shelling.

Really. Only a few minutes passed, and the little devils began to shell, and one shell after another fell on the positions of the fighters, and the fighters began to suffer casualties.

Fortunately, the soldiers built fortifications and the casualties were not very large, but as the shelling progressed, the casualties of the fighters would certainly continue to increase.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The little devil in the distance, Osa, saw the fire flashing on the soldiers' positions in the distance, and the shells exploded on the soldiers' positions, Ono Junichi's brows suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but say happily: "Yo Xi!" Not bad, not bad! ”

According to this form, Ono Junichi estimated that only half an hour of artillery bombardment would be carried out, and at that time, only one infantry brigade would be sent to launch a round of charge, which would be enough to rush to the Chinese army position in the distance.

Next to the devil Dazuo, there were a group of little devil officers, there were at least a dozen officers at all levels, and these devil officers were also full of joy, looking excitedly at the position of a group in the distance.

The shelling lasted for a few minutes, and the group of little devil officers were enjoying it, and the 12 75-mm mountain guns that were shelled seemed to be completely in shape, and continued to fire shells at a group of positions.

However, the little devils were not happy for long, and in just a few minutes, the 24 105-mm howitzers of the artillery regiment began to fire at the little devils, and the first target was the artillery squadron of the little devils, the 12 75-mm mountain guns.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, as if there was a tendency to cover up the sound of the 12 75mm mountain artillery shelling, and many little devils heard this whistling sound.

As soon as he heard this large sharp whistling sound, the devil Osaku Junichi Ono raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a large streamer appear in the sky, and the direction of the streamer seemed to be going straight to the direction of his mountain artillery position.

"Yaga! Heavy artillery groups of the Chinese army! ”

Junichi Ono's experience is good, as soon as he saw this scene, he immediately knew that this was a heavy artillery group firing at him, thinking that it was a heavy artillery group, Junichi Ono's heart was inexplicably tight, and he secretly said in his heart, it's terrible.

The group of little devil officers next to them, seeing this scene, especially seeing their own wing captain's face change, their hearts were also full of sighs, and they said in their hearts, the situation is not good.

24 streamers, 24 105 mm caliber shells flying in the night sky, very beautiful, however, these beautiful things are also very terrifying, in the eyes of a group of little devils, smashed headlong towards the little devil's mountain artillery position.

Most of the shells hit the target, a small number of shells missed, and then, a violent explosion sounded, earth-shattering, much quieter than the little devil's 75-mm mountain gun.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A dense explosion sounded, a large amount of fire rose, the explosion was very violent, and suddenly, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the devil's mountain artillery position.

A large number of little devil artillery members were scurrying around, and even several 75-mm mountain guns were blown away, and even a 75-mm mountain gun was blown into broken parts, and the barrel of the gun more than one meter long was blown out dozens of meters away and smashed heavily on the ground.

With the explosion, the devil artillery on the Devil's Mountain artillery position was also killed, and the power of the 105-mm howitzer was also huge.

On the position, many devil artillerymen were stunned, and without waiting for an order, they immediately hugged their heads and ran away.

After the first round of shelling, soon, the continuous intensive shelling came again, and a large number of 105-mm howitzer shells exploded intensively at the Devil's Mountain artillery position, completely carpet explosion, without any gap.

The 75-mm mountain guns on the front of the position were destroyed, and some vehicles parked next to the position were also damaged, and the shells were blown into piles of scrap metal, which smoked and burned in place.

Suddenly, the entire Devil's Mountain Artillery Position was devastated, 12 75-mm mountain guns were blown up in a short period of time, and even some shells on the Mountain Artillery Position were violently detonated, and the ground was covered with large craters one after another.

In the entire Devil's Mountain Artillery Squadron, nearly 200 little devils were almost killed alive, and almost no little devils escaped the bombardment of this artillery fire.

Junichi Ono, the captain of the Devil Dazuo Wing, saw that his mountain artillery position was wiped out in an instant, and he was suddenly so angry that he shouted, Ono Jun didn't think about it, there was a heavy artillery group behind the Chinese position opposite.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, all of our artillery squadron are shattered." A devil next to him sobbed.

Ono Jun's face turned pale, and he looked sadly and angrily in the direction of his mountain artillery position in the distance.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, no, look, a large number of shells are coming again." The other devil officer immediately shouted in horror.

The mountain artillery squadron that completely destroyed the little devils, the 24 cannons of the artillery regiment modified the firing parameters and began to shell the crowd of the little devils, and a large number of shells flew towards the crowd of devils.

More than 3,000 little devils had already set up an attack frame, and there were so many shells smashed down in large areas, and the situation suddenly became lively.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A devil Shaozuo, with an infantry brigade, is ready to attack, densely packed with little devils, holding weapons, loaded bullets, as long as this devil Shaozo gives an order, he will launch a large-scale collective charge.

A large number of shells exploded in the crowd of these little devils, and suddenly it was like cold water poured into the boiling oil pot, and many little devils were directly blown away, and even some little devils were completely blown up.

The little devil who was not killed for the time being, seeing such a powerful shelling, suddenly turned a little pale, the American-style 105-mm howitzer was a little more powerful than the Japanese cannon of the same caliber, and suddenly, a large crater was blown out of the ground, and the little devil was killed and injured a lot.

Often a shell goes down, and with a loud "boom", a large number of little devils are gone, and after the explosion, a large crater is left on the ground, as well as a stump and broken arm in one place.

Shaozuo, the devil who led the team, saw this scene, and immediately raised his command knife and shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly." ”

After shouting, the little devil Shaozo hurriedly ran back, trying to run out of the bombardment range of this artillery fire, but this devil Shaozo was also unlucky enough, just ran a few steps, and a shell exploded next to the devil Shaozo.

There was a loud "boom", the mud and sand splashed, and this devil Shaozuo was blown to pieces, and the command knife in his hand flew out with the air waves.

A regiment of infantry positions.

As the mountain artillery position of the little devils was destroyed in an instant, the pressure of the fighters was greatly reduced, and the 81-mm mortars on the position, and even the 120-mm large-caliber mortars, began to shell the crowd of little devils in the distance.
