As soon as they received the news that the two divisions on the two flanks had completed the encirclement of the Liaodong Army, the Japanese army, which had already set up a battle in front of the five divisions and one regiment, began to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The remaining dozen or so field guns of the field artillery wing fired shells at the mountain beam with their fastest rate of fire.

Relying on the field artillery to have the advantage of firing range, these more than a dozen field guns are all outside the range of mountain artillery.

Therefore, when the field artillery wing opened fire, it did not expect that it would be hit by artillery fire at all.

But less than two minutes after they opened fire, a screech of cannonballs that made them discolored reached their ears, and it was getting closer and closer to them.

Experienced gunners could immediately tell that this was the sound of a heavy artillery shell cutting across the sky.

While his face turned pale, he exclaimed loudly: "Baga, it's heavy artillery, the Liaodong Army still has heavy artillery, quickly hide!" ”

No sooner had the screams been heard, than an earth-shaking explosion rang in their ears.

Only four of the twelve heavy artillery shells hit the target, accompanied by four fireballs mixed with black smoke rising from the ground, the six field guns and dozens of surrounding gunners were directly blown to the ground, although the surrounding three field guns were not blown over, the powerful shock wave scared dozens of gunners around the field guns to death or wounded.

"Baga, how can the Liaodong Army still have heavy artillery, and it is a 150 mm caliber heavy artillery, what is the heavy artillery brigade doing to eat, doesn't it mean that the heavy artillery unit of the Liaodong Army has been eliminated?" Seeing that the field artillery that was already small in his wing had lost one-third of it at once, the wing captain couldn't help but curse loudly while feeling heartache.

Although angry, there were some sane chiefs of staff who immediately ordered the troops to immediately transfer the remaining field artillery.

However, no matter how fast they are, they can't go faster than the speed of the shells.

Hundreds of Japanese artillerymen were pushing the field artillery with great difficulty, and when they tried to transfer it, the second round of shells came.

This time, six shells hit the target directly.

With the sound of violent explosions on the battlefield, the remaining artillery of the Japanese field artillery wing was completely gone.

The sudden and fierce shelling also alarmed the division commander who was watching the battle behind, and the shocked expression on the face of the division commander was no less than that of the commander of the artillery wing.

After learning that his field artillery wing had completely lost its combat effectiveness, he subconsciously understood that the battle in front of him was not as easy to fight as he imagined. And the Liaodong Army, which seemed to be surrounded, did not reach the point of exhaustion.

However, for the division commander, this battle is not easy to fight, and he will fight it.

When the forward heavy artillery brigade was attacked and lost its combat effectiveness, the army commander had already given them an order that if the Liaodong Army could not be eliminated or severely damaged, the price of almost all the annihilation of the light and heavy artillery brigade was not something that a few of them could bear.

Thinking of this, he immediately contacted the commanders of the other two divisions to discuss how to fight next.

In the end, the result of the discussion was to use more than 100 field artillery pieces of the field artillery wings of the remaining two divisions and regiments to fire at the heavy artillery of the Liaodong Army, and to destroy the heavy artillery of the Liaodong Army by virtue of their numerical superiority. Anyway, the battlefield is so big, no matter where the Liaodong Army arranges its heavy artillery positions, it is within the effective firing range of the two field artillery wings.

However, the commanders of the three divisions of the Japanese army did not expect that when they were discussing how to deal with the heavy artillery of the Liaodong Army, the special operations detachment carrying 70 mortars had successfully caught up with the main force.

Seeing the mortars brought back intact, Yang Xingguo didn't say a word, and immediately divided the 70 field guns, and asked the special combat personnel who were already familiar with mortars to go down to serve as temporary gunners.

Liang Yu, who had already fought with the Japanese army once, did not know what kind of weapon the mortar was, but after hearing that the squadron leader of the special operations detachment who came with the mortar assured that in the next attack of the Japanese army, no matter how many heavy machine guns were used, they would not be able to threaten the defenders of the position.

Liang Yu immediately realized that the next blocking battle would definitely be much easier.

Sure enough, a Japanese brigade under the cover of more than 20 heavy machine guns had just rushed to 200 meters in front of the position, when a series of violent explosions rang out at the Japanese heavy machine gun position.

The mortars brought by the special operations detachment seemed to be 200 instead of 200, and the shells fired out were endless, covering all the positions with more than 20 heavy machine guns in the blink of an eye.

"Mortars are really a good thing, the rate of fire is too fast, twenty guns directly hit the effect of two hundred guns." Seeing that it only took a minute for the mortars behind to hit all the Japanese heavy machine guns silent, the excited Liang Yu couldn't help but shout loudly.

After finishing, he directly ordered his subordinates: "Brothers, the brothers of the special operations detachment have already solved our most threatening heavy machine gun, and we can't let them see jokes, the remaining Japanese infantry can destroy as much as they can, shoot immediately!" ”

Light and heavy machine guns were fired together, plus twenty mortars then joined the battle.

In the end, the seven or eight hundred Japanese troops retreated in disarray without even rushing one hundred and fifty meters in front of the formation, and also left behind five or six hundred huge corpses.

Seeing that the attack failed again, the division commander immediately became angry with his subordinates.

What really made him angry was not the failure of the attack, but the artillery staff officer who actually told him that the artillery of the Liaodong Army that destroyed his heavy machine gun position was a new type of artillery, because the troops had never seen it before, and there was no way to calculate the specific location of the mortar, and then there was no way to counterattack, so he could only watch the artillery of the Liaodong Army blow up the heavy machine gun position and bomb the infantry again.

In the end, the division commander also seemed to have lost his mind, and directly ordered: "I don't care what method your artillery uses, in the next attack, we must destroy the artillery that shelled our heavy machine guns, and then draw out their heavy artillery units and destroy them." Otherwise, even if we win this decisive battle, our troops will be completely lost! ”

The division commander's order made him very difficult, but when he saw that the division commander's eyes slowly flashed a trace of murderous intent, the artillery staff officer could only take the order.

Soon, the third round of the Japanese offensive began.

The special combat team members who operated the 20 mortars did not need to be greeted by Liang Yu, and as soon as they came up, they destroyed more than 10 heavy machine guns provided fire cover by the Japanese army.

Just when they were about to adjust the muzzle of the gun, support a regiment, and give the Japanese infantry another artillery attack.

The Japanese troops, who were forced to be anxious, did not confirm the specific location of the mortars, and even organized two brigades of field artillery to carry out a blind attack on the area they had deduced.

Seeing that the shell landed far away from him, a very contemptuous sneer flashed on the squadron leader's face, and while ordering his subordinates to continue shooting, he reminded everyone: "Don't worry, the Japanese field artillery has someone to greet us, we just need to fight ourselves!" ”

The field artillery of the two brigades of the Japanese army, as if they had gone crazy, fired blindly at the back of the mountain beam.

Zhong Hu, the commander of the heavy artillery division, who was responsible for commanding all the artillery of the whole army, sneered and decisively ordered.

"Immediately determine the position of the Japanese field artillery position, let the three mountain artillery battalions of the fifth division counterattack, the mountain artillery shells are all high-explosive shells, mainly kill and injure the Japanese gunners, but cannot hurt the field artillery. This time our artillery lost so much equipment, we always have to add a little back. ”

As soon as the three mountain artillery battalions opened fire, the Japanese side could not stand it. Immediately, two more field artillery brigades joined the battle, wanting to destroy the mountain artillery battalion of the Fifth Division, so as to lure out the last heavy artillery regiment in Zhong Hu's hands.

Although Zhong Hu did not know the purpose of the Japanese army, as the last hole card in his hand, Zhong Hu would never move until the critical moment.

What's more, in Zhong Hu's eyes, the artillery of the remaining two field artillery wings of the Japanese army will be their own trophies sooner or later, and the power of heavy artillery shells is too great, and one shot can blow up the field artillery into parts. Therefore, Zhong Hu will never let the heavy artillery regiment open fire casually and blow up the field artillery that belongs to him sooner or later.

As soon as the two field artillery brigades of the Japanese army opened fire, Zhong Hu ordered the three mountain artillery battalions equipped by the guard division to open fire and fire at the Japanese army. (To be continued.) )
