Chapter 41: Artillery Battle

After receiving the telegram from the division headquarters confirming the news, Noda Hiroki was about to cry. The fact that Lieutenant General Fujita, who was wise and resolute and had tough methods, was able to send this telegram shows that his Excellency the General is really a little embarrassed now. No matter how difficult it is, it can't compare to the 15th Brigade, right?

The Noda Brigade has really reached the point of exhaustion now, surrounded by several times the number of squadrons, and in such a harsh environment, it can be said that Noda Hiroki and his 15th Brigade are already in a precarious situation at this time. The squadron will launch a general attack at any time, and his fifteenth brigade may be wiped out at any time. In the current situation, Noda Shaosa, who even complained about Lieutenant General Fujita, did not say a word, but sent another telegram asking for help to His Excellency Lieutenant General, whom he respected. The tone of this telegram was more urgent and mournful than the last, as if Lieutenant General Fujita did not send him reinforcements in the next minute, and his 15th Brigade would say goodbye to the lieutenant general forever.

After Lieutenant General Fujita received this telegram with earnest words, almost crying for help, the stirring in his heart did not need to be repeated in words. In short, His Excellency did not hesitate for a second this time, and immediately drew another group from his Sixth Wing, and hurried to Mangzhang Airport to rescue Noda's Brigade, and at the same time ordered the Seventh Flying Wing to send fighters to support.

Gao Quan didn't mean to give the devil a chance to breathe. After driving the devils to the river beach, they immediately let all the large and small artillery of the 500 brigade bombard together. Gao Quan is just regretting now, he has too little artillery in his hand, if he can have enough artillery, he can directly carry out a covering bombardment on these devils who are shrinking on the river beach, most of these devils can directly settle the account, which will save more trouble. If you can't do it, you can't do it, and it's useless to dream about what you don't have, so it's serious to use all the treasures in your hands.

Ten 80 mortars, 20 60 mortars, and three 37 anti-aircraft guns forcibly pulled from the quartermaster of Chief Hu's quartermaster were all the belongings of the 500 Brigade Artillery Battalion. Gao Quan regarded these treasures as treasures, and when he shelled the devils, he always changed places after two shots, for fear that the devil's artillery would bite them. The devils of the Noda Brigade were driven to the river beach, and Gao Quan also knew that the last moment was coming.

These devils must have sent a telegram for help by now, and the devils have the characteristics of being desperate to help, which also determines that his time is running out. If this group of devils cannot be solved in a short time, the only way out for the 500 Brigade is to move quickly. The devils of this brigade have already made the thousands of officers and men of the 500 Brigade in a hurry, and if another batch of reinforcements comes up, it will not take too many, as long as another brigade comes, today's battle will not be good. Whether these bandit-born soldiers under his command can maintain their strong combat effectiveness even when their own side is weak, Gao Quan's heart is also uncertain. With the large-scale desertion of the fourth battalion when the devils were charging, Gao Quan didn't dare to guarantee that this situation would not happen again after the devil's reinforcements came up.

The artillery battalion fought while running, although the losses were small, correspondingly, the effect of the artillery bombardment was also greatly reduced. After aiming for a long time, I ran away with two shots, but if I wanted a good effect, it was impossible.

In response to changes in the battle situation that may occur at any time, Gao Quan quickly adjusted his deployment. Although Qian Sixi's 501st Regiment had deserted just now, they had still blocked the devil brigade head-on, and they could be regarded as having some experience. The devil's reinforcements didn't know when they would come up, Gao Quan gave an order to the 501st Regiment, ordering Qian Sixi to withdraw his troops as a reserve for the whole brigade, ready to block the devil's reinforcements at any time. The artillery battalion and the machine-gun battalion immediately launched a strong attack on the devils on the river beach. Gao Quan doesn't care about any exposure now, as long as he can completely annihilate this group of devils in a short period of time, everything will be out of his way! If he wants these boiled ducks to fly, then he can't do it!

The 500 Regiment, as the main regiment of the 500 Brigade, served as the main attack, supplemented by the independent regiment, and he wanted to use the two main regiments to launch a general attack on the devils. In the final analysis, in the absence of sufficient artillery fire, the final solution to the battle is still the rifles and bayonets in the hands of the soldiers! The special service battalion and engineer battalion of the brigade headquarters directly under the brigade headquarters, as well as the guard company and communications company, served as strategic reserves, and with an order, the general attack of the 500 Brigade against the 15 th Brigade of the Japanese invaders began.

Several heavy artillery pieces of the Noda Brigade have basically lost their combat capability in the various traps arranged for them by Gao Quan, and now only one infantry cannon can still be fired normally, and the remaining three can no longer complete the firing due to various reasons. As soon as the artillery of the squadron began, the infantry gun of the devil immediately returned fire. The quality of the Japanese artillery is simply not comparable to that of the half-hung artillery of the 500 Brigade Artillery Battalion. Don't look at the two more heavy artillery pieces than others, if you really fight, three salvos on your side are not as good as the key artillery bombardments of others.

Fortunately, the artillery battalion commander knew the level of his people and didn't dare to put all three anti-aircraft guns together, so he was not killed by the devil with one shot. Our three guns fired three volleys, which blew up the rocks on the river beach, and the devils cried and cried for their mothers. At first glance, it seemed that our army's artillery fire was very powerful, but Gao Quan took a closer look through the binoculars and shook his head. This is a devil, this is clearly a cannonball exploding in the middle of the broken stones, blowing up the stones and hurting many devils. If it weren't for the devils on the river beach standing too densely, they wouldn't even be able to achieve this kind of victory.

Although the shells of the battle defense artillery didn't fall on the devil's head, the three guns were quite a lot after all, and after a few rounds of salvo fire, there were still dozens of people on the side of the devil's queue who were stoned to death and injured. This is all the result of Noda Shaosa's order to concentrate his troops, and if the population density of the devils marches on weekdays, this number will be reduced by at least half. Hiroki Noda looked at his masterpiece and wanted to cry without tears. But he really didn't dare to disperse the troops, the terrain in this hellish place is so complicated, who knows what danger there will be when the team is scattered?

The devil's infantry cannon soon gave Noda Shaosa hope. After the squadron's artillery position was exposed, and it was not transferred in time, the devil's infantry ran accurately with a shell to kill one of our army's battle defense guns. Looking at the cannon barrel flying in mid-air, Gao Quan grinned distressedly, my cannon! Not only the artillery, but the devil's artillery, even the artillery killed a platoon.

Although the devils knocked out one of our army's defense guns, their gun position was also exposed, and the remaining two guns of the artillery battalion immediately began to counterattack.

The infantry artillery of the Noda Brigade knew that they were exposed, and they couldn't move their position, too much gravel on the river beach was one aspect, and the most important thing was that there were traps everywhere, it was not easy for his cannon to find a safe place to stay, and it was so easy to find the next safe place. Now the Japanese artillery can only hope that the Chinese artillery will not be able to hit accurately, and that their only remaining artillery will destroy the opponent's artillery as soon as possible.
