Chapter 221: The Frustrated Japanese Army

The outermost part of the artillery position was the anti-aircraft gun position and the anti-aircraft machine gun position, with a total of 12 88 anti-aircraft guns and 24 machine guns, which were now all the belongings of Li Han's air defense forces. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, at this time, the Japanese planes were not advanced, and there were still five or six years before they were born as Zero fighters, and although the Japanese army did not lack pilots, during this period, the Japanese aviation basically did not have much actual combat experience, and they could barely cope with these anti-aircraft firepower.

"Report to the regiment commander, the gunner is already in place." The artillery scout reported to Xu Hu.

"Order the artillery, lock on to the target, and fire immediately!" Xu Hu ordered.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Blinding red light flickered, rumbling cannons rang out, and since Napoleon was born, the cannon, the god of war, has begun to show its incomparable battlefield destructive power.

Forty-eight artillery guns fired a salvo, and the entire artillery position was filled with thick white smoke, but the artillery soldiers had long been accustomed to this, and one shell after another was skillfully and quickly pushed into the barrel of the cannon, and then the screaming of high-speed flying shells pierced the sky, and went straight to the Japanese tank.

Rumble!

A Japanese tank was hit by a howitzer shell, and the steel monster that looked extremely the outside immediately exploded in all parts, as if it was waist-thin than white paper.

The turret on the chariot exploded dozens of meters away, and the huge impact force made him fly six little devils in a row before he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Immediately afterwards, countless shells roared in the direction of the devil chariot troops, and the dense artillery fire enveloped all the Japanese chariots, and the Japanese army was not prepared at all because the planes had just bombed.

"Yagayalu, retreat!"

The Japanese soldier Shao Zuo, who commanded the chariot troops, hurriedly shouted, this was completely different from what he had imagined.

Facing the Empire's chariot brigade, shouldn't the Shina people rush out with explosives bags like ground rats, and then use the machine guns on the chariots to knock down all the ignorant Shina people.

"Boom!"

A seven-to-five-millimeter shell directly hit Shao Zuo's chariot, and after the shell exploded, the front half of the chariot was blown up, and fire and black smoke were whirring out from the front of the chariot, and Shao Zuo and several operators who were still in the chariot had already become bloody and blurred.

Without Shao Zuo's order, the artillery regiment's shelling was so fierce, as long as the little devil's charioteers were not fools, it was impossible for them to stay where they were and continue to wait for death, but Xu Hu would not let him go so easily.

The artillery regiment had forty-eight artillery pieces, and the little devil's chariots were only twenty-four, and before the shelling, Xu Hu divided the responsibilities of the gunners, except for the howitzer battalion, each artillery battalion had to destroy at least five chariots.

So after the shelling began, each of the little devils' chariots was locked by at least three mountain guns, and after a few rounds of shelling, the little devils' chariots were almost named.

The howitzer battalion, relying on the advantages of their large caliber and strong destructive power, picked up nine Japanese combat vehicles on their own. Not only that, but after the howitzer battalion had finished shooting the Japanese tanks, it began to fire at the artillery positions of the 4th Wing.

The Fourth Wing has two artillery squadrons under its direct jurisdiction, one is a mountain artillery squadron equipped with four Type 41 mountain guns and one is a rapid-fire gun squadron equipped with four rapid-fire guns, and together with the two Type 92 infantry guns equipped with all major units, there are a total of 14 artillery pieces.

However, the Type 92 infantry artillery provided fire support for the infantry attacks of the various brigades, and the rapid-fire guns were used to force the armored units of our army, so only the mountain artillery squadrons were really firing.

Bang!

A howitzer shell was dozens of meters away in front of the Ghost Mountain artillery position, and the little devil artillery only felt a sudden shaking under his feet, and several devils who were firing the cannon were instantly shocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion.

"Baga, the people of China are actually equipped with heavy artillery, immediately transfer the artillery position!"

When the artillery squadron leader saw this scene, his heart immediately felt cold, his artillery position was arranged six or seven miles away from our army's position, so the artillery squadron leader did not know the fate of the tank brigade at the first time, otherwise he would not have dared to shell our army's position with such a swagger.

However, the artillery squadron leader recalled that it was too late to transfer the position, because he did not know the direction of the devil's artillery in advance, so our artillery could only calculate the direction of the devil's artillery based on experience, and then open fire.

The two sides are separated by a distance of nearly ten miles, and it is normal for the shells to miss, and if the hit rate of the artillery battle is as high as that of a rifle, I am afraid that even at the industrial level of European and American countries, it will not be able to supply the consumption of artillery.

However, when the first shell exploded from the shell of the devil's artillery position, there was suddenly no sound on the little devil's artillery position, and the battalion commander of the artillery battalion immediately reacted, this position may be the location of the devil's artillery position.

"Although all the gun positions immediately shoot at Zhu Yuan according to the first gun position, adjust the direction of the shelling."

The battalion commander of the howitzer battalion decisively ordered.

The gunners, under the command of the battalion commander, quickly began to adjust their firing elements.

Bang Dang...... Clang, with the bolts of the cannons of one door being closed, all the cannons were ready.

"Fire!"

With the battalion commander's order, one by one the high muzzles were sprayed in unison, and a more rapid shell scream came out of the air, and then the artillery position of the little devil exploded like a rock.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The continuous explosions annihilated the devil's mountain artillery position in the thick smoke, and the Japanese soldiers who were still hurrying to transfer the artillery were no longer visible.

The entire artillery position became a barren, and if it weren't for the stumps and broken arms everywhere and the wreckage of scrapped artillery, no one would have thought that there was a Japanese mountain artillery squadron here.

After the howitzer battalion eliminated the Japanese mountain artillery squadron, it immediately began to shift positions, and because there were trucks as the traction power, the artillery was quickly transferred.

However, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion did not move with the artillery regiment, but remained in place and waited for the prey to come to the door.

The impression of the captain of the devil's wing on the local motley army like the security army is still in a state where an army can equip a field artillery battalion.

After the bombing by the air force just now, the captain of the devil brigade believed that even if the artillery unit of the security army was not lost, it was estimated that it was already frightened.

His Excellency Dazuo originally wanted to use the cover of the mobile battery of the technician of the tank brigade to directly hit the position of the security army and complete the task assigned to him by the division commander to improve the morale of the soldiers.

Unexpectedly, he not only witnessed the end of the chariot brigade, but even the mountain artillery squadron he arranged in the rear was killed by the cannons of the Zhi Namen.

The task of the division commander was not completed, and he also took up one of his own mountain artillery squadrons, and of course the captain of the devil brigade refused to do it.

"Yagaya deer! Kill give! His Excellency Dazuo angrily drew his command knife and roared in the direction of our army's position.

Although His Excellency Dazuo was furious in his heart, he had not lost the sanity of a commander and chose the direction of attack to Lin Youzhi's independent brigade.

Although the Japanese army looked down on the combat effectiveness of the national army, they did a very good job of intelligence work for our army, not to mention that Rehe was still their occupied area.

In the past, they didn't pay attention to the security army mainly because their attention was on the 29th Army, compared to the thighs of the 29th Army, the security army was at most a few toes, and it was clear which was more important at a glance.

Now that Li Handu is about to hit the doorstep, if the Japanese army does not know the establishment of the security army, their intelligence officers can return to China en masse to receive the award.

Of course, whether it is Shi Shi'an's 145th Division or Lin Youzhi's Independent Brigade, there is no pressure on the devil Dazuo to fight.

However, in view of the fact that the division commander gave himself the task of raising the morale of the Imperial soldiers and eliminating the bad influence of the 31st Wing being completely annihilated by the security forces.

Seeing that the division commander and the main force were about to arrive in the next two days, if he chose to fight with a division of the security army, even if he could win, it would not be possible to do it in two or three days, so the devil Dazuo finally chose a relatively weak independent brigade to start.

In fact, the devil Dazuo had already sent out hundreds of infantry before, following the chariot brigade to Lin Youzhi's independent brigade, but the devil's chariot was shelled, and of course these infantry hiding behind the chariot were not spared.

Standing on top of the unobstructed wilderness, he was plowed several times by the artillery regiment, and only a little more than a hundred of the more than 400 devils retreated in embarrassment. Even Xu Hu didn't know that they did it easily, but they repelled the first round of attacks of the devils for Lin Youzhi.

In the face of the Japanese attack, the independent brigade had long been in a tight position, the first wave of attacking Japanese troops only had two squadrons, and the thousands of soldiers on the positions of the independent brigade mercilessly poured bullets in the direction of the little devils, and at the same time, the light and heavy machine guns opened fire fiercely, and the little devils couldn't even raise their heads.

First of all, before the planes came, the artillery of the fourth wing no longer dared to open fire, and both infantry guns and rapid-fire guns remained silent, leaving only the grenadiers to be able to exert residual heat.

The devil's squad has two grenadiers, while one company of our army has one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, and each battalion also has a machine gun company, equipped with more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, not to mention two zero mortars.

Although Lin Youzhi only set up a regiment on the front-line position, the firepower that was fought was enough to make the little devil cry and call his mother.

And the devil's grenadier shooter faced the fire points sprayed out from all directions, and then looked down at the grenade in his hand, and for a while he didn't know which direction to shoot, so as to suppress the firepower of the Chinese army.

The devil's infantry artillery did not move, and Lin Youzhi's mountain artillery battalion did not move, although their artillery shells were sufficient, but they still had the enemy's plane, and his artillery battalion did not have anti-aircraft firepower, and after the artillery was fired, it was necessary to transfer the position.

Good steel has to be used on the blade, and now this time is far from the time for the artillery battalion to start, and besides, each regiment has a mortar company, and it is more than enough to use mortars against the little devils who can only use grenadiers.
