Chapter 103: Destroy the Artillery Brigade
The attacking Japanese brigade was divided into four groups, but the four groups were very close to each other, and the whole team advanced in a wave-like formation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This offensive formation can not only allow the devil to maintain a steady stream of offensive momentum, but also cause a lot of hearts to the defenders on the position, as if the devil will never finish fighting.
However, the little devil did everything he could, and he didn't want to hit Li Han and rushed to the iron plate overnight, kicking the iron plate, and now there were ten cannons facing them, and their dense stormtroop formation provided convenience for the artillery.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ā¦ā¦
The frequency of firing of the Type 92 infantry guns of 70 caliber was okay, and there was no problem in firing three shots a minute, and the gunners of the four battle defense guns were not to be outdone, and the two teams seemed to be more energetic.
However, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, so it's not interesting to stare like this, so the two sides discussed it to see who killed the captain more.
The little devil is charging at this moment, and there is no shelter and bare patch everywhere, and after the shells fall, it will explode a large area, and countless devils will be killed and injured.
Within a few minutes, the devil's attacking troops were blown up in pieces, and their original four neat and orderly attack formations were transformed into more than a dozen chaotic groups of chaotic soldiers.
"Yagaya deer! It's the infantry artillery of the Empire! ā
Seeing that his soldiers were crushed under the blows of the artillery of the Zhina, and the casualty rate continued to rise, the Gangbu Zhengwu scolded in a hurry.
Needless to say, these infantry guns must be the credit of Seiichi Yamashita again, I really don't know if Seiichi Yamashita went to fight with the people of China or sent equipment to the people of China.
"Order the artillery, immediately destroy the artillery of the Chinese people, and immediately report to the brigade commander and ask for artillery support."
Although Masatake Okabe was angry at the behavior of Seiichi Yamashita as an enemy, he also understood that it was useless to talk about it now, and the battle would continue.
With his rich combat experience, Masasa Okabe quickly judged that the enemy's artillery number was not under his own wing according to the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, so he would ask Inoue for support as soon as possible.
Okabe Masatake is just a wing captain who can judge the number of artillery in our army, and this veteran of the battlefield is not even as good as his own subordinates!
Although Gangbe-kun also has ten cannons there, but if he wants to use the cannons with his advantage, and have a fair one-on-one duel with the people of China, Inoue once thought that he was not so stupid.
And looking at the battlefield situation, that person Li Han must have also come, which aroused the ferocity in Inoue's bones even more, and he couldn't wait to cut off Li Han's head and wash his shame in blood.
As a result, the Devil Artillery Brigade, which was very busy, soon received a new order.
The devil's artillery brigade has been busy, and twelve mountain guns are firing non-stop at the ground of our position.
Despite the cold weather, many of the devil artillerymen were still wearing thin shirts, and some were even naked, shuttling between various gun emplacements, constantly carrying heavy shells for more than a dozen cannons.
Each shell was more than ten catties, and it was carried box by box, making the devil soldiers, who were already short in body, tired and panting like cows, sweating profusely.
"Bang Dang ......"
The chamber of the cannon was pulled open, and a steaming shell automatically retreated, and one of the loaders in the back immediately stuffed the shell that had been prepared long ago.
"Bang!"
After closing the bolt, a Japanese soldier pulled the rope, and the cannon made a muffled sound, the entire gun body shook, and the shell was fired out of the chamber.
The commander of the artillery group was looking at the enemy's position with a telescope, and occasionally made a "stained" sound from his mouth.
Watching the positions of the Chinese people groaning under their own artillery fire, and occasionally splashing the corpses of one or two soldiers, the captain was very proud, he felt that as long as his artillery was there, there was no city that could not be captured, and there was no position that could not be taken.
Of course, yesterday I did a whole day of useless work, and His Excellency the captain chose to forget.
While admiring his masterpiece, the captain suddenly found that the cannons of the Shina people had been activated at this time, and the charging Imperial warriors suffered heavy losses as a result.
His Excellency the captain's mouth was as uncomfortable as eating, and his face was also hot, but fortunately, at this time, the order of the brigade commander also came down, which relieved the embarrassment in the captain's heart.
So the captain hurriedly ordered the soldiers to turn the muzzle of the gun, not to destroy the artillery of the Chinese people, this old face is still missing.
After the devil's artillery brigade joined the artillery battle, the devil's attacking troops who were still suffering from artillery fire finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after this round of shelling, at least more than 200 imperial warriors became fertilizer for this land.
The remaining hundreds of devils began to charge again, and our soldiers were no longer blindly beaten with the help of artillery.
They didn't have burning sticks in their hands, thousands of rifles were firing at the same time, and there was little hope for hundreds of devils to rush up.
There will be no changes on the infantry side in a short period of time, not to mention just a few hundred good devils, even if another brigade comes up and wants to take the position garrisoned by the 145th Brigade, without the help of artillery, there is basically no hope.
Of course, Li Han will not let the soldiers take the initiative to attack, Inoue is not Yamashita Yoshio once, the troops directly under the 46th Brigade and the 24th Wing also have more than 4,000 people, and they can also call for the support of the aviation at any time, so that the soldiers can rush out of the trenches, wouldn't it become a live target.
Moreover, after the 145th Brigade fought with the 23rd Wing, the attrition was also very serious, and at present, the wounded soldiers lying in the major hospitals in the rear alone have exceeded 1,000 people.
Coupled with the soldiers who died in battle, they lost more than 2,000 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that '1,000 enemies were killed, and 800 were self-inflicted', and the only thing worth mentioning was that they completely annihilated the 23rd Wing.
Now there is still suspense on the battlefield is the artillery battle, if you can kill the devil's artillery, it is not impossible to fight a counterattack appropriately.
Therefore, Li Han has high hopes for Xu Hu, their cannons are not weaker than devils in terms of quantity, and the performance of cannons is better than that of devils, plus they have mental calculations or unintentional, there is still a great chance.
The devil's artillery brigade began to fire at full strength, and with the addition of the fourteen cannons of the 24th Wing, it was almost equivalent to two artillery brigades firing at the same time, and the ten artillery pieces commanded by Xu Hu were a little unbearable.
The battle defense artillery hit the devil's tank was first-class, but compared with the mountain artillery, it was not enough, and two of the devil's mountain artillery were blown up within a few minutes of the battle.
Frightened, Xu Hu hurriedly asked the artillery to drag the remaining two doors away, and in an artillery battle of this scale, the battle defense artillery is also the role of cannon fodder.
The six infantry guns were also bombarded with the Japanese army, all of them were blown up, and dozens of artillery pieces were sacrificed, but they also caused a lot of trouble to the devil's artillery, and the infantry of the 24th Wing was also killed.
And the sacrifice of the artillery is not worthless, after the artillery battle with the devil artillery, Xu Hu has mastered the general direction of the position of the devil's artillery brigade, and the next thing is the turn of his mountain artillery battalion to show its fangs.
The muzzles of the sixteen mountain guns of the artillery battalion were all aimed at the direction of the devil's position, and then the position of the muzzles was adjusted according to the direction given by Xu Hu.
"Enter the queue!"
"Ready to load!"
With the order of the artillery lieutenant, dozens of artillerymen began to get busy nervously, and a series of actions such as pulling bolts and loading were all too familiar to the artillerymen.
"One shot!"
"The second cannon is good!"
ā¦ā¦
Behind the artillerymen, there were hundreds of heavy soldiers transporting shells to the gun emplacements.
"Fire!"
Seeing that the soldiers were ready, Xu Hu ordered loudly, he was very excited at the moment, last time they solved the artillery of the 23rd Wing at one time, and history will repeat itself today.
The Devil Artillery Brigade was very satisfied, the sound of artillery on the Zhina position had completely fallen silent, and it was obvious that their artillery had been completely wiped out by the Imperial Army.
The commander of the artillery brigade was surprised at the same time, but also felt that the commander of the branch was too stupid, did he think that with a few captured infantry guns, he could be the enemy of the imperial army's artillery.
But soon, a violent scream sounded over the position of the devil artillery brigade, and the face of the artillery captain who had been playing with artillery for more than ten years changed on the spot, and he immediately shouted loudly: "It's not good, it's the people who are shelling, hide quickly!" ā
It's a pity that the shells are all overhead, and it is only hidden at this time, it is too late.
Before the words of the artillery captain landed, a shell directly hit a mountain cannon, and with a loud bang, this mountain cannon company with seven or eight artillery pieces next to it was instantly broken into parts.
After the first shell exploded, as if triggering a domino effect, one shell after another hit the artillery position of the devils.
Since he could not directly observe the situation of the Japanese artillery position, Xu Hu could only adopt the method of casting a wide net to catch fish, and carry out a covering attack on the area of the devil's position that he had budgeted for himself.
Fortunately, they had enough shells, and Xu Hu didn't feel distressed when he fought, sixteen artillery pieces fired at a time was sixteen shells, and Xu Hu bombarded the position of the Japanese artillery brigade for half an hour.
On average, almost every cannon fired more than 20 shells, and in the end, I was worried about the bombing of the devil's plane, so I had to stop.
More than 300 shells of more than 10 catties exploded on the devil's artillery position, although the accuracy was not very high, but the devil's artillery brigade only had 12 mountain guns, and the position was 100 meters away.
Almost every square meter of the area can be divided into three shells, and the damage caused to the Japanese artillery brigade by such a dense shelling is devastating.
A mountain cannon was blown over, and then it was blown into parts in the following explosion, and the devil's own ammunition truck was also killed.
When Xu Hu stopped the shelling, the explosion sound of the devil's artillery position never stopped, and the surrounding range of hundreds of meters was emptied, and the fire generated by the violent explosion burned half of the sky, even Li Han, who was a few miles away, could see it clearly.
