Chapter 441: Fierce Battle at Fish Pond Bay (Medium)

A large group of devils prepared for an attack on the east side of Yutang Bay, and after the artillery fire from behind them bombarded, they immediately launched an attack on the new fourth position at the foot of the mountain to the east. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the same time, the second brigade was also assembled behind the first brigade.

Just when Nobuyuki Matsushita's artillery fired shells at the foot of the hill east of Yutang Bay, they got the position parameters sent by the observation post in front, Wu Zhongping's three 92 infantry guns were aimed at Matsushita Nobuyuki's artillery position, and the three infantry guns were aimed at the troops who had completed the assembly behind the first brigade and were preparing to outflank the two flanks.

With Wu Zhongping's loud release, the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company of the 16th Regiment Artillery Battalion, which was hiding on a flat ground in the valley to the south, immediately opened fire on their respective targets.

The artillery shells flew out of the valley abruptly with a long whistling sound, and flew straight towards the artillery position of Matsushita Nobuyuki, who was concentrating on the opposite independent battalion blocking position and opened fire, when suddenly they heard the sound of shells flying in the sky, and those experienced artillerymen looked back in amazement, and immediately knew that these shells were flying towards their positions.

As an imperial soldier, he naturally knows the power of infantry artillery, and when these shells fall, this artillery position will be turned into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and if he does not escape in time, he is afraid that he will be burned to charcoal.

As soon as those artillerymen ran away, Wu Zhongping's shells fell like raindrops, and columns of smoke rose up at the position of Matsushita Shinyuki's artillery position, and in the yellow smoke, I vaguely saw the devil's cannon turned into parts and flew into the sky.

Nobuyuki Matsushita, who was in the back, saw this scene and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, he couldn't believe that Liu Tianshu had actually arranged artillery on one side, and suddenly launched an attack while his artillery was concentrating on firing forward.

It was only at this time that his artillery position had obviously become a live target, and he couldn't help but close his eyes painfully when he saw the constantly rising columns of smoke.

Just as the artillery positions were falling shells, the Second Brigade, which had already assembled and was preparing to outflank the two flanks, was also fiercely attacked by the artillery fire of the New Fourth Army.

The shells of the New Fourth Army seemed to have eyes, and they flew down vigorously towards the dense crowd of devils, blowing up the imperial troops who were originally ready to go, and countless imperial soldiers flew into the sky with the explosion of the shells landing, and those surviving soldiers were all lying on the ground, not daring to run around at all.

After Wu Zhongping's shells ravaged the 2nd Brigade, it began to extend towards Matsushita Nobuyuki's 1st Brigade, and then Matsushita Nobuyuki suddenly understood that the New Fourth Army must have lurked observation posts nearby, and these observation posts were guiding the artillery to shoot at the target.

It's a pity that at this time, the entire Yutang Bay has become a hell on earth, with the screams of imperial soldiers everywhere, and the broken feet and broken bodies can be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, Matsushita Nobuyuki's headquarters had not yet been shelled, and after observing it with a telescope with a blushing face, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack to the south and destroy the artillery positions of the New Fourth Army.

After receiving the order, the cavalry captain glanced at the imperial soldiers who were struggling under artillery fire, suddenly turned his horse's head, waved his saber, and flew towards Wu Zhongping's artillery position with more than two hundred cavalrymen like a whirlwind.

As soon as he ran over a hill, he saw another hill in front of him, and behind that hill, cannonballs kept flying, wantonly taking the precious lives of the imperial soldiers on the road behind him.

The cavalry captain looked at the low hill opposite, his eyes flashed with infinite murderous aura, and even his face was distorted.

"Warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, kill all the damned Shina people, kill Gege!" The captain of the cavalry brandished his saber and clamped his legs, and led the cavalry to accelerate like a torrent, rushing towards the opposite hill.

In front of the hill, the soldiers of the guard company were all quietly hiding in camouflaged trenches, six light machine guns and two heavy machine guns were already ready to shoot, and at the same time, four captured Japanese-style military mines were also buried in the wilderness 200 meters away.

Seeing that the devil really came as promised, a pair of cold eyes looked at the devil cavalry who was getting closer and closer, and a big hand was ready to split.

The cavalry of more than 200 people was not only terrifying, but also very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the devil cavalry rushed to 300 meters in front of the blocking position of the guard company, and all the soldiers watched them closely.

In less than a few seconds, the running devil cavalry stepped on the mine, only to hear a loud noise, several devil cavalry rushed into the sky, but these war horses had run to the best state, although frightened, but continued to rush forward.

But as the mines buried in the ground exploded one after another, the formation of the devil's charge finally became messy, and the fallen war horse and the devil fell to the ground, which affected the charge of the devil's cavalry.

The captain of the devil's cavalry did not expect that the New Fourth Army had actually planted mines on the road ahead, and he saw that his subordinates had not yet rushed in front of the New Fourth Army, and they had lost almost one-fifth, and their faces were even more red, as if they were about to burn as soon as they were caught in fire.

Fortunately, the cavalry in front had rushed to a hundred meters from the hill, and the saber raised high shone with dazzling light.

Seeing that the devil rushed through the minefield, the guard company commander split his hand and shouted loudly, and the light and heavy machine guns arranged on the position opened fire at the same time, and the dense bullets rushed on, biting the devil's war horses and cavalry, and one by one the arrogant devil cavalry were shot off the horse, and even the wounded cavalry was dragged by the war horse and ran around in the wilderness.

When arranging for the guard company to be responsible for defending the artillery battalion, Liu Tianshu thought that the devils might use the cavalry to attack the artillery position, so he specially transferred two Makqin heavy machine guns to the guard company.

The rate of fire of the Maxim heavy machine gun is faster than that of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the whole shooting process is very smooth.

Three of the six light machine guns were Czech, and three were crooked.

Eight machine guns blocked the road of the hill general, and the devil cavalry had rushed to the last moment at this time, and in the face of the rapidly increasing death, the captain of the devil cavalry was dripping blood in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

His only hope was to break through the opponent's blockade, so that the artillery of the New Fourth Army in the valley behind him was not a prey for him to slaughter.

It's a pity that the blocking position of the New Fourth Army is like an incomparably solid rock, firmly blocking the path of the devils, and at this time, the 92nd Infantry Artillery Company behind the valley has run out of shells and is rapidly moving.

However, the New Fourth Army's infantry artillery stopped wielding, but it did not mean that the New Fourth Army's attack stopped, and the 82 mortars deployed in the other direction continued to bombard the devils on the highway at this time, so that the devils could not fight back at all, so they could only lie on the ground, let the shells explode around them, and take away one companion after another.

The captain of the devil cavalry, who was running at the front, finally rushed to less than fifty meters from the hill, when he was swept by a string of bullets, and his body fell off his horse with a weak body.

The commander of the guard company looked coldly at the battlefield in front of him, and only after he could no longer see a ghost cavalry on a horse could he signal to stop shooting, and then sent soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

The cavalry has begun to fall behind, this is what the regimental commander said. When they heard this, they thought that the regiment commander was alarmist, you know, in their eyes, the devil cavalry is still a demonic existence.

When they listened to the regimental commander's account of how to deal with cavalry, they realized that as long as they had strong machine-gun fire and artillery fire, cavalry was actually something to be slaughtered.

In the past, cavalry was considered terrible, mainly because the troops only had light weapons such as rifles, and there was a serious lack of heavy machine guns and mortars. Rifles are generally loaded with only five rounds at a time, and five rounds of ammunition will be used out in the blink of an eye, and it is not easy to hit a moving target with a rifle at all. Therefore, in the battle where the infantry meets the cavalry, the infantry is often beaten to the point that they cannot fight back, and they are chased and fleeing in all directions.

Seeing more than two hundred cavalrymen, who turned into bloody corpses in the blink of an eye, the soldiers of the guard company felt an indescribable pleasure.

When cleaning the battlefield, when they encounter devils who are still thinking about fighting hard when they are dying, they will naturally not be merciful.

The guard company withdrew from the hill with the booty and caught up with the artillery battalion, while the explosions on the road behind them were still ringing.

Nobuyuki Matsushita saw that the entire unit suffered heavy casualties under the shelling of the New Fourth Army, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, but at this moment, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky, and he couldn't help but lift his spirits.

But at this moment, the shells of the New Fourth Army suddenly stopped flying, and the surroundings became unexpectedly quiet except for the smoke that kept rising.

When the devil's plane arrived over Yutang Bay and saw gunpowder smoke rising everywhere on the ground, the shadow of the New Fourth Army was not visible at all.

After contacting Matsushita Nobuyuki, the two devil planes lowered their fuselages and flew towards the mountains to the east, but there was still a quiet below, except for the empty blocking position, they could not find the shadow of the New Fourth Army.

In order to prevent the New Fourth Army from hiding in the mountains and forests, the devil planes also fired fiercely at the mountains and forests, throwing several bombs into the mountains and forests, but there was still silence inside.

After tossing and turning around for a while, but failing to find the shadow of the New Fourth Army, the devil plane refused to drop its precious bomb on the deserted mountains and forests, and after hovering in the air for a while, it turned around and flew back.

While the 92nd Infantry was bombarded, the Independent Battalion suddenly received an urgent telegram from the regimental headquarters and quietly withdrew from its position to join the troops of the 1st Battalion.

When the mortar company of the artillery battalion was bombarding, some people were also responsible for observing from a distance, and when they heard the roar of the aircraft, the mortar company immediately moved to a wasteland north of the position according to the predetermined route, which had actually dug a lot of hidden hideouts, and the mortar company withdrew to the wasteland and quickly hid in the trenches, and at the same time covered its body with camouflage.

Because of time constraints, they could no longer go far, let alone retreat into the nearby mountains and forests.

Sure enough, as soon as they hid, the devil's plane flew over from the south, and after circling in the air, they bombed and strafed the mountains and forests on the left, until they confirmed that there was nothing unusual, and then flew away helplessly. (To be continued.) )
