Chapter 478: Brought into a Desperate Situation
The effect of this is that more than 100 roaring heavy artillery shells have a hit rate of more than 40%. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
More than sixty heavy artillery shells exploded, and the power was absolutely amazing.
In the blink of an eye, almost 20 heavy artillery pieces of the two field artillery regiments of the Russian army were shrouded in gunsmoke, and one or two hundred artillery pieces were shrouded together.
Although it is not known whether these heavy artillery pieces were destroyed or not, after the shells exploded, these guns did not fire a single shell, which has been able to prove that the first round of artillery fire coverage of the heavy artillery division of the Liaodong Army was very effective.
In the position of the heavy artillery division of the Liaodong Army, the Russian prisoners who served as the main gunners all knew that the more shells they fired when the opponent's artillery counterattacked, the greater the possibility of victory, and the smaller their losses.
Therefore, as soon as the shells in the bore were shot, the Russian gunners were very quick to order their deputies to reload the artillery.
In less than ten seconds, a new shell was pushed into the chamber.
"Fire! Thundered! "As soon as the gunner pulls the gun rope, the roar of the cannon is heard in the chamber.
After a huge shell flew out of the barrel with a scream, it exploded after only three seconds smashed into the Russian artillery position.
Compared with field artillery, the rate of fire of heavy artillery was obviously much slower.
Therefore, when the heavy artillery division fired the third round of shells, the artillery on the Russian heavy artillery positions that had not yet been destroyed was ready for shelling.
"Fire!" The battalion and company commander on the heavy artillery position of the Russian army decisively gave the order to counterattack.
The two heavy artillery regiments still had more than 20 heavy guns left, and they immediately opened fire. After it is finished, regardless of whether it hits the target or not, immediately seize the time to change the shells of the artillery.
But the Liaodong Army did not give them this opportunity.
The Russian heavy artillery regiment had just finished firing the first round of counterattack shells, and the fourth round of shells fired by the Liaodong Army had already reached their heads.
With the sound of violent artillery in the Russian artillery position, the remaining 20 heavy guns of the two heavy artillery regiments were immediately blown up.
The four heavy artillery regiments of the Liaodong Army did not know that the heavy artillery units of the Russian army had been completely wiped out at this moment, and still continued to fire shells at them. It didn't stop until the other side didn't fire a single shell.
Soon, the special operations detachment sent the news of the annihilation of the Russian heavy artillery division to Yang Xingguo.
"Division Commander Zhong, Chief of Staff Zhang, you fought well, and it was unexpected to kill the Russian heavy artillery division so quickly!" Yang Xingguo said with a satisfied face.
Zhong Hu replied very self-awarely: "Commander, you have won the award, but the Russian army is too arrogant and underestimates our strength." Otherwise, we wouldn't have beaten them so easily! ”
"Now that the Russian heavy artillery division has been defeated, the Russian army has no heavy weapons in its hands that can threaten us. What are the next tasks for the heavy artillery division, please tell the commander! ”
Yang Xingguo thought about it and replied: "Not only your heavy artillery division, but next, all the troops here must be busy!" ”
"Without heavy artillery, the Russian army becomes a lamb to the slaughter. Next, our task is how to eat the lamb bite by bite! ”
Seeing that several people focused their eyes on themselves, Yang Xingguo continued: "When I arrived yesterday, I ordered the guard division Li Xiaohu to lead the troops to block the back road of the Russian army. Now more than twenty hours have passed, and the two regiments of the guard division are definitely in place. ”
"Now that the Russian army's back road has been cut off, then we are left with the matter of eating meat."
Wang Hu, who was holding back his anger and wanted to kill all the Russian troops on the battlefield, quickly shot out two fine lights with a pair of eyes, and subconsciously asked Yang Xingguo: "I like to eat meat, commander, how to eat, you give orders, my brothers and I have already prepared, we must eat them all!" ”
"Commander, give the order, the brothers are ready!" Zhou Qiangsheng followed and asked for battle.
Yang Xingguo replied with a serious face: "One hour, I'll give you an hour to prepare." As soon as the time came, the artillery immediately opened fire on the Russian army, covering the three regiments of the 2nd Division to attack the Russian army from the front and compress their living space. “
"Wang Hu, your first division, as a reserve, is ready to participate in the battle at any time!"
Compared with the enthusiastic and lively atmosphere of the Liaodong Army Headquarters, the Russian Army's former enemy headquarters was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.
The commander of the artillery division, who was confident and arrogant a few dozen minutes ago, was already gloomy at this time, with his head down, unable to say a word for a long time.
As for the others, they also kept their heads down and said nothing. The only difference is that the expression on their faces is not heavy, solemn, or worried about their future.
After the chief of staff clenched his fist smashed on the bullet box beside him, he shouted and scolded: "The heavy artillery division has been destroyed, shouldn't you, as the division commander, give me an explanation?" And you, without artillery support, how should the next battle be fought, shouldn't you come up with a charter for me? “
"Keep your head down and don't say a word, what do I want you to do? If you have something to say, speak immediately! ”
The commander of the artillery division raised his head and replied in a heavy tone: "Please calm the anger of the chief of staff, it is all humiliation and underestimation of the enemy's strength, and then it led to the annihilation of the artillery division." Humble is willing to take full responsibility! ”
"Take responsibility, you say it lightly, how can you bear it, can you afford it?" The chief of staff asked with a disgruntled expression.
"There is no artillery to provide artillery support to the infantry, how can the soldiers fight under the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army, have you thought about it! Just because of your carelessness, not only did you lead to the annihilation of the artillery division, but you may also bring all the tens of thousands of elites here into a desperate situation! “
Seeing that the chief of staff was getting more and more angry, an infantry division commander in front of him hurriedly said.
"Chief of Staff is angry, in the artillery battle just now, the Liaodong Army has exposed the artillery strength of at least one division."
"In the face of such powerful artillery, we who only have infantry left, continue to attack, and there is no difference between sending us to death. I suggested that the troops immediately halt the offensive, either retreat, or request new artillery support from the main forces. ”
These division commanders were aware of the tremendous lethality of heavy artillery to the infantry, so this idea was endorsed by several other division commanders as soon as it was proposed.
The chief of staff also agreed with this proposal from the bottom of his heart, but he was unwilling to let him return in vain with the loss of troops and generals.
Therefore, the chief of staff showed a painful expression on his face, fell into deep thought, and did not say a word for a long time.
At this moment, a lieutenant colonel staff officer suddenly rushed in.
Before the chief of staff could speak, he reported with a look of horror: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, something has happened!" A large number of Liaodong Army appeared on our rear road, with a total strength of at least two regiments, and was building positions behind us to block our rear road! ”
The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and asked loudly: "You said that the two regiments of the Liaodong Army blocked our rear road, and didn't their main forces all block our attack in front of us?" How did they get behind us, what did they want? Is it to eat us, but do they have this appetite? ”
Several division commanders were taken aback by the news.
But when they calm down, they have to admit a fact.
Even if he still has tens of thousands of elites, the surrounding Liaodong Army does not have as many troops as his own. However, with the heavy artillery troops that the Liaodong Army had just exposed, it was possible to eat itself bite by bite. (To be continued.) )
