20th Battle of Bongshin (5)

These are almost 300 guns, which are no joke, of which there are 76 150-mm howitzers and 16 100-mm howitzers. If these 300 guns were fired together, the earth-shattering whistling sound alone would shake the entire banks of the river.

Then, Han Xing's tank battalion may be severely damaged or destroyed in an instant. A big victory, a big defeat in the blink of an eye.

A commander, that has to be clear. Han Xing had long seen the arrival of the Japanese field heavy artillery group, and gave an order to the tank battalion: "High-explosive shells cover and fire continuously." Retreat quickly! And said to Xu Da: "Commander Xu, please bombers cover the retreat of our tank battalion, you have meat to eat." ”

It's like two people shooting at each other, whoever shoots first has the upper hand. This is even more true in artillery engagements, whoever shoots the first round of shells will be wiped out!

The first round of shells was fired from the tank battalion swimming forward. The tank battalion swimming forward received the order for Han Xing to retreat quickly, and the car was driving with accelerated horsepower facing south, but the barrel of the gun was facing north, firing high-explosive shells vigorously towards the north bank of the Luan River.

This is the benefit of the tank, the turret rotates 360 degrees and can fire at will.

Dozens of high-explosive shells exploded in the heavy artillery group of the Japanese army, dozens of shock waves, dozens of shrapnel of high-explosive shells flew everywhere, dozens of thick smoke rose into the sky, and a mixture of mud and shrapnel shrouded the Japanese army......

Then there was a second round of shells, a third round of shells......

The killing radius of high-explosive shells had to be more than 60 meters, and these shrapnel killed and injured Japanese troops in large quantities. Unfortunately, one of the shells ignited the Japanese ammunition box, causing a series of explosions.

Although 300 cannons were a lot, a single missile on the tank also caused the Japanese heavy artillery group to suffer a lot of losses. The shrapnel flying everywhere killed and injured a lot of Japanese soldiers, the smoke in the sky blocked the view, and even the flying mud was quite harmful, and I was directly fascinated by my eyes, how to operate the artillery......

Tsukita Roshiro regretted it greatly, if the first round of shells had been sent out earlier, perhaps, these dozens of tanks of the Chinese army would have been wiped out.

However, after all, there was still an angry roar from the Japanese artillery, and one by one the huge, powerful 150 howitzer shells crossed the Luan River and hit the tank positions of the Chinese army.

The Japanese forgot an important factor, and that was that the tanks were alive. The shooting Zhuyuan that could have been adjusted just now was just right, but as soon as it was delayed, the Chinese tank ran away again.

The speed of the Japanese Type 89 tank was 25 km / h, the Japanese Type 94 tank was 40 km / h, and the M2 tank was 58 km / h. That is, Chinese tanks are much faster than Japanese ones.

The tank battalion that swam forward, after a rapid movement, finally escaped from this most dangerous situation.

Four modified Y-8-bombers flew in again, and without flares, they saw the Japanese heavy artillery group on the north bank of the Luan River, and their artillery was still desperately, bravely, and desperately pursuing the tank battalion swimming forward.

The first to hit the position of the Japanese heavy artillery group were four air-to-surface missiles, which were launched by J-20 fighters to cover the Y-8 bombers in order to clear the Japanese air defense. These four air-to-surface missiles blew up five or six cannons, and incidentally ignited a fire, which played a role in lighting.

Tsukita Ryoshiro's heavy artillery group also has a fatal weakness, that is, it does not yet have a strong air defense force. Their main task was that the tank groups in front carried out assaults, while they carried out fire support in the rear. Or, a direct blow to the positions of the Chinese army on the opposite side.

These 300 or so artillery pieces are indeed invincible and invincible, and they have been well accomplished in these two tasks.

For the threat from the Chinese Air Force, they planned it this way. First, the Japanese army's army aviation has a great advantage, so if the Chinese air force comes to attack, the Japanese army's army aviation will naturally solve the problem.

If the Japanese air force can't come out at night, then the Chinese air force will definitely not be able to come out either.

But who would have thought that China's J-20 fighters have night flight capabilities, not only fighters, but also Chinese Y-8-bombers also have night flight capabilities.

After the explosion of the J-20 air-to-surface missile, the fire that ignited through the sky just played a role in lighting the Y-8-bomber. I didn't see the enemy anti-aircraft guns firing shells, but I saw dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns "da-da-da" into the sky...... Bullets are fired ...... click.

It's like dozens of blind people, shouting at the sky, shouting for the last invective.

The bombers roughly calculated the direction of the enemy's position, and then, from west to east, one every 80 meters, dropped bombs unhurriedly.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

The 50-kilogram aerial bomb has a killing radius of nearly 80 meters, and the bomb is evenly scattered, so that the killing radius of the bomb always overlaps, which causes greater damage and destruction.

As long as the bomb was within range, the heavy artillery was overturned, scattered, and flew into the air, the personnel were cut apart, killed, and severely maimed, and all the environments with signs of life changed in an instant. The suffocating air, the smell of death, the shrapnel flying everywhere, the parts of steel, the scraps of the soldiers, mixed together into an indescribable, inexplicable thing, spreading in all directions.

This aerial bomb is much more powerful than Tsukita Ryoshiro's 150-mm shell.

Like a plough, the Y-8-bomber ploughed this time, and then again at a distance of 80 to 100 meters, and so on and so forth. This Y-8 bomber ran out of bombs, and the second bomber went on.

Tsukita Raishiro was pressed to the ground by a few guards around him, he only felt that the loess on his body fell layer after layer, and in his ears was the explosion of a huge aerial bomb, booming into a loud sound, his eyes couldn't be opened, he had long been fascinated by the loess, even if he opened it, it was in addition to the flames that were pervasive gunsmoke.

It's painful, it's like suffering in hell. can only be beaten by others, and he has no power to fight back.

This is in ordnance theory, brine points tofu, and one thing drops one thing.

Tsukita Ryoshiro couldn't help but scold: "What about our air force, what are you doing to eat, why haven't you come yet." "Oh, by the way, they can't come out at night. Only then did Tsukita Ryoshiro realize that he was blown up and confused, and his thinking was confused.

It took nearly 20 minutes for the Chinese bombers to finish dropping the bombs and then flying away with their toes high.

In just 20 minutes, Tsukita Roshiro felt like a century had passed.

The Chinese bombers flew away, but there was a deathly silence on the battlefield, and there was no movement, as if they were all dead. It took a long time for a living soldier to get up, and then another one to get up, and after a while, all those who could breathe got up, and those who couldn't get up were either broken or severely disabled.

Those who can live are indeed embarrassed, just like the natives, and the yellow military uniform on their faces, hands, and bodies have become one color.

Tsukita Ryoshiro was pulled up by the guards around him, and even the guards around him were blown up and killed.

Tsukita Raishiro rubbed his eyes and rubbed off the loess on his eyes, only then did he see that the scene in front of him was really miserable. The cannon he was most concerned about, the capital he relied on to survive, was blown up a lot. The worst thing is that these artillery officers and men, who have no trenches and no shelters, have suffered a shell in vain, and the proportion of casualties will be greater than the losses of squatting in the trenches.

After a while, an adjutant reported the statistics, and the air raid had lost 56 artillery pieces of various kinds and nearly 600 officers and men.

Sumita Ryoshiro breathed a sigh of relief at this time, it seems that the combat ability is still there, and his heavy artillery group has not been beaten down.

Coincidentally, Hiroyoshi Ishii was not killed by the bombing, and he ran to Tsukita Roshiro again. But his chariot group was not so lucky, and 2 more vehicles were blown up.

Ishii Hiroyoshi comforted Tsukita Ryoshiro and said, "General Sumida, don't be sad, it's not that we are incompetent, it's that China's army is too strong. Their air force, their artillery, their tank crews, some of them are even more powerful than ours. ”

Here, Ishii Hiroyoshi set up a set, saying not only that China's air force and artillery are powerful, but also that their tank troops are powerful. In this way, Furui Hiroyoshi's failure is not accidental.

Tsukita Ryoshiro sighed deeply, he felt sympathy at this time, in fact, Hiroyoshi Ishii was not easy, he seemed to be the same as himself, and he did his best.

What Ishii Hiroyoshi said below made Sukita Ryoshiro even more happy, and Ishii Hiroyoshi said: "General Sukita, you are much stronger than me, although you have suffered some losses, but your main artillery force is still there." But as for me, I only have 7 tanks left, and I really can't fight anymore. ”

This sentence really captured the itchy flesh of Tsukita Ryshiro, and compared with Hiroyoshi Ishii, he is indeed quite lucky.

Tsukita Raishiro asked, "Ishii-kun, do you say, is my heavy artillery group going forward, or is it waiting for the follow-up troops?" ”

When Ishii Hiroyoshi heard that he was so down, Lishita Ryoshiro actually came to ask him about his tactics, which was enough to see that Sumita Ryoshiro still valued him quite a lot.

I can't ignore it, Ishii Hiroyoshi hurriedly used his military knowledge and said to Tsukita Ryoshiro: "If our chariot group is still there, then we can go straight to Nanchang City tonight." If you meet the Chinese army, your artillery hits, and then our tank group rushes up.

But now that our tank group does not exist, the heavy artillery group loses the meaning of attacking. My opinion is that I still wait for the 106th and 101st Divisions to come over. They are in front, you are behind, they are blocked by the Chinese army, and your heavy artillery can be effective. ”

Tsukita Roshiro nodded his head and said, "Yo Xi, Yo Xi!" ”

In fact, Ryoshiro Sumida had already made up his mind. The chariot group is in front and the heavy artillery group is behind, which is like a pair of twin brothers, who can advance and retreat together. Now that the chariot group does not exist, what are you doing with that stupid hat, after all, cannons can't be bayonets.
