Chapter 518: Fatal Blow

"However, there are still our own people on the mountain!" The captain couldn't help but exclaim. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The wing captain said with a heavy face: "I see, there is still a strength of nearly one team. But compared with the results of the elimination of the Liaodong Army on the mountain, there is nothing to accidentally injure a team? ”

"Execute the order! The field artillery brigade immediately opened fire and covered the hill with artillery fire. ”

Soon, the small hill was re-covered by artillery fire, and the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were about to rush up the hill were not spared, and were directly shrouded in gunsmoke, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

"The Japanese are so ruthless, they even blow up their own people, it's just a beast!" In the face of the sudden artillery attack, the regiment commander Xu Hai immediately scolded loudly with anger.

"After this shelling, the brothers must have suffered heavy losses!" The first battalion commander said in a solemn tone.

The Japanese troops, who were desperately stance, continued to fire shells at the top of the hill. The chief of staff finally arrived at a position less than two miles from the battlefield and stopped. Because, if he led his troops to rush forward, he would definitely be discovered by the Japanese alert troops.

In the opinion of the chief of staff, since he came and suddenly appeared in the rear of the Japanese army, he had to find a way to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army and rescue the trapped regiment commander at once. Otherwise, it will be a lot of trouble to wait for the Japanese army to react and then save it.

As soon as the chief of staff asked the troops to hide, he photographed it in advance and the reconnaissance platoon came over.

Soon, the situation on the battlefield appeared in front of the chief of staff like a painting.

"Artillery, the biggest threat to the regiment commander is the Japanese field artillery brigade, we can kill their field artillery brigade in advance, then the battlefield is ours, do it well, it is possible to annihilate one or two thousand Japanese troops on the scene!" The chief of staff immediately made a judgment based on the situation on the battlefield.

Hurry up, the artillery fire of the Japanese field artillery brigade on the hill has also stopped.

Two shells in a row fell, and every Japanese gunner was tired.

Taking advantage of the gap in the infantry to launch an attack on the Liaodong Army on the mountain, the Japanese gunners immediately sat around several people, watching the battle while replenishing their physical strength, without any vigilance.

And at that moment, the scream of cannonballs across the sky suddenly reached their ears.

Many Japanese gunners were stunned and looked at the sky incomprehensibly, wanting to know where the artillery sound came from.

And some vigilant gunners, in just a moment, heard something from the shrieks that were getting closer and closer.

At the same time as his face suddenly changed, he shouted in horror: "Baga, it's shelling, the cannonballs are flying towards us, everyone hide quickly!" ”

"Boom!" Before they could finish speaking, a violent explosion rang in their ears.

Because the firing distance was less than a kilometer, and the Japanese army was very arrogant, they arranged eighteen field guns together.

Therefore, the first round of shells fired by the mountain artillery battalion seemed to have eyes, and they fell into the Japanese field artillery position.

The power of mountain artillery shells was not great, and there was little threat to heavy field artillery.

However, the fragments of the flying shells after the explosion of the mountain artillery shells had a fatal blow to the Japanese gunners on the position.

After a round of explosions, many Japanese gunners were blown to the ground.

The captain of the Japanese army, who was lucky enough to escape the first round of artillery fire, just got up from the ground and shouted: "Baga, it's mountain artillery, the Liaodong Army dares to use mountain artillery to bombard our field artillery, don't they want to live?" ”

"Counterattack, immediately carry out an artillery counterattack, blow up all their mountain artillery, and let the Liaodong Army know the huge gap between mountain artillery and field artillery!"

The captain who was furious and felt that he had been insulted by the Liaodong Army directly ignored the specific situation on the battlefield because of his anger.

It is true that the mountain artillery battalion of the Liaodong Army is no match for the field artillery brigade, but the Liaodong Army arranges the mountain artillery battalion behind them.

If the Japanese want to counterattack, they must turn the Japanese at the original gun position, and then they can take aim, and finally counterattack.

But the heavy field artillery is something they can turn around if they want to.

In addition, the first round of artillery bombardment of the Liaodong Army, although every time a field artillery of the Liaodong Army was destroyed, it killed and wounded nearly 100 Japanese gunners, so that the strength of the Japanese field artillery brigade was even more insufficient, and it became more difficult to turn around the heavy field artillery.

Amid the shouts of the officers, the Japanese gunners pushed the field artillery with all their might, and the second round of shells fired by the mountain artillery battalion had already reached their heads. Before many Japanese troops could react, shells smashed around them and exploded.

After a round of strikes, the Japanese lost dozens of lives.

At this time, the captain of the field artillery brigade still did not react, and continued to urge his subordinates to transfer the artillery and counterattack.

Finally, one of the guns managed to turn around, and the two gunners quickly pounced on the gun position, adjusted the angle of fire, and prepared for a counterattack.

The mountain artillery battalion had already fired five rounds of shells at them, and the small field artillery position was completely shrouded in acrid gunsmoke, and it was impossible to see clearly even from five meters away.

The gunners on this emplacement did not know that it was already difficult to find a single living gunner around them.

Just as they adjusted their guns, quickly loaded them with a shell, and prepared to fire. The sixth round of shells from the mountain artillery battalion came.

This time, two shells exploded directly down on them.

The only few gunners in the entire field artillery brigade who were still moving were also blown to the ground at this time.

Of course, the mountain artillery battalion brought over by the chief of staff did not know that there was no one left in the Japanese field artillery brigade, and after four rounds of shells were fired again, the intense artillery fire slowly stopped.

When the mountain artillery battalion opened fire on the Japanese field artillery position, the three battalions that followed did not rashly launch an attack on the Japanese army.

Six or seven hundred infantrymen suddenly appeared under the noses of the Japanese patrol troops, shot at the head with light and heavy machine guns, and steadily advanced in the direction of the main force of the Japanese army.

But even so, the sudden change in the battlefield startled the wing captain.

Especially when he learned that the field artillery brigade was completely annihilated, the suddenly stunned wing commander ordered the two infantry squadrons attacking on the front line to withdraw without thinking about it.

When the wing commander first issued this order, many captains were opposed, wanting to take the mountain that the Liaodong Army was trapped in one go.

However, when the two squadrons were about to retreat to the foot of the hill, they waited until the wing commander's order to retreat in time.

After destroying the field artillery brigade of the Liaodong Army, the mountain artillery battalion quickly adjusted the muzzle.

In less than a minute, more than a dozen mountain guns opened fire, and all the shells with a screeching sound smashed into the retreating heavy machine gun position of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

The shells exploded, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns that had not had time to retreat, along with people and guns, were instantly overwhelmed by artillery fire.

"Shhh Fortunately, they retreated, otherwise these two squadrons would have been finished! A captain who gasped frowned and said in a heavy tone.

The wing captain looked at the artillery fire not far away, but he couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until a squadron leader arrived that he was awakened from his musings! (To be continued.) )
