Chapter 279: Artillery Feast
As soon as Yang Xingguo's decision came out, everyone focused their attention on the battlefield in front of them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Japanese Army's Baggage Wing plus hundreds of artillery and alert units from the Field Artillery Wing, totaling more than 1,900 people, had been surrounded by the Liaodong Regiment and could not move.
As soon as the report of Chief of Staff Sun Liechen was finished, Yang Xingguo reminded: "There are less than 2,000 devils, and they are all heavy soldiers with no combat effectiveness, and the equipment is not very neat, only equipped with a small number of heavy machine guns, and there is no artillery......
"Yes, Commander......" affirmed Chief of Staff Sun Liechen.
Yang Xingguo waved his hand and continued: "Look at us again, the strength of the army is more than three times that of the devil...... Well-armed, with plenty of ammunition, but also with a large number of heavy machine guns and artillery ......"
"Not to mention anything else, with these advantages, we can also eat this devil cleanly......"
"However, what I want to say is that since this group of devils will be eliminated by us sooner or later, then we must eliminate this group of devils at the lowest cost......"
"Don't forget, after eliminating the logistics force of devils, we still have more than 2,000 devil elites to destroy."
"Again, in order to deal with the second division of the devils, we have already killed enough people, and I don't want to hear any more battle reports of heavy losses from any regiment......"
"I order: After the battle begins, those who can use cannons should use cannons, and those who can use heavy machine guns should use heavy machine guns...... In a word, destroy them as much as possible with our superiority in firepower...... After the battle, which regiment suffered heavy losses, I will take the position of commander of his regiment......"
The Devil's Baggage Wing, the highest rank is the Captain of the Devil's Baggage Wing.
Although there were a large number of tents piled up on the baggage carts of the baggage wing, the wing commander was not in the mood to set up the tents as his own headquarters.
So, the captain of the Devil Wing directly set up the headquarters behind a big rock.
After glancing at the demoralized captains in front of him, the wing captain wanted to say a few words to raise everyone's morale, not to be so decadent.
However, as soon as the words reached his mouth, he was swallowed back by the wing captain himself.
Although the wing commander is not from a combat unit, he still knows the most basic military knowledge.
Facing the heavy encirclement of the Liaodong Army, facing more than 100 heavy machine guns with all the muzzles around him. There are also a large number of artillery that they can't see, but the muzzles are all directed at themselves.
The captain of the Devil's Wing knew that after the offensive of the Liaodong Army began, he would use the strength and strength at hand. Not even half a day, no, maybe two hours.
Of course, the co-captain did not think about breaking through.
However, the idea has just been put forward by subordinates. It was opposed by everyone, including himself.
The more than 100 heavy machine guns that the Liaodong army set up around are not vegetarians.
In the process of breaking out, as long as two or three are in front of the breakthrough force, the breakthrough force will be devastated by heavy machine guns.
When the time comes, the entire breakout will turn into a suicidal attack.
It is different to defend here, although the power of the heavy machine gun mounted around it remains unchanged, it cannot attack with the troops after all, and at most it can only play the role of fire suppression.
In this way, in the face of the attack of the Liaodong Army, he at least has room for counterattack.
And not like the breakout, he hit the muzzle of the Liaodong Army. didn't even have a chance to fight back, so he was killed by the heavy machine gun fire of the Liaodong army.
After glancing at the demoralized captains in front of him again, the wing commanders, who had already given up on boosting their morale, asked directly: "Are the troops fully equipped?" ”
"After equipping the troops with all the rifles in the divisional reserves, it has already reached the ...... one rifle per person," the chief of staff of the wing hastened to answer.
"In addition, I also equip all the nine heavy machine guns in the division's reserves...... Combined with the original equipment of our baggage wing, we now have a total of seventeen heavy machine guns...... There are no problems with ammunition and food, and the divisions and regiments have enough reserves for a month......"
Hearing this, the co-captain was in a much better mood.
Although there is still no hope for the future of the entire team. However, with the strength and firepower of the baggage United now. Even if the whole army is destroyed, it will cause a lot of losses to the Liaodong Army.
Unlike the field artillery wing, which had been completely wiped out, the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army were defeated without even the skin being injured. If this is said, it will not only be a shame for the Second Division. It was a shame for the entire Japanese Empire.
Thinking of this, the co-captain forcibly cheered himself up.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered in his most dignified tone: "Since the equipment and ammunition are sufficient, then we will use our strength to tell the Liaodong Army that the baggage troops of the Imperial Japanese Army are not easy to mess with." ”
"I order, all units immediately go into position. Prepare for an offensive that the Liaodong Army may launch at any time......"
"No one can take a step back without my orders......"
"The wing is directly under the guard squadron, and two squads are assigned as the supervision team, and if there is disobedience and fear of the enemy fleeing, all of them will be shot."
After one after another murderous orders came out of the wing captain's mouth, the expressions on the faces of several captains slowly became serious.
As a soldier, no matter how much you fear death, you will die on the battlefield and at the hands of the enemy.
If you die at the hands of your own people because of disobedience, it will not only be a shame for yourself, but also a shame for your family.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid that the heavy ammunition would be detonated by the shelling of the Liaodong Army, and he would be injured by mistake.
More than 100 carts loaded with various supplies were all gathered together.
As for the nearly 2,000 devil soldiers of the baggage wing, they built a very tight ring fortification with these materials as the center.
Nearly 2,000 devil soldiers were stationed in this ring fortification, quietly waiting for the arrival of the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army.
Because the ring fortifications were one or two hundred meters away from their baggage wagons, it was impossible for the artillery shells of the field artillery regiment to reach those baggage wagons as long as there were no accidents.
As soon as the battle began, more than fifty field guns of the field artillery regiment began to fire shells at the Devil's Ring Fortifications.
Because of the rush of time, the fortifications were not reinforced.
Coupled with the fact that the devils here did not know the concept of anti-artillery holes at all, the long circular fortifications were blown into ruins after only five rounds of artillery fire.
However, even so, the devil soldiers, who were not allowed to take a step back after receiving the death order, still lay on the ground, dodging the shelling, and let the shells explode when they hit their side.
The command of the Liaodong Army, seeing the calm reaction of the devil's baggage soldiers after the shelling, did not show the slightest mercy while appreciating.
Facing the chief of staff beside him, he continued to order: "Aren't there still hundreds of artillery pieces around the headquarters who have lost their artillery on standby? Order them to immediately enter the artillery position of the devils that we have just occupied, and let the artillery brought by the devils also join the battle, and give the devils an unprecedented artillery feast, so that they can also taste the taste of being bombed......"
"Today I'm going to see if the devil's flesh and blood are harder, or if the steel cannonballs we shot at them are more powerful......" (To be continued.) )
