Chapter 95, Hit First / Artillery
Washizu followed Ushijima's usual gaze and looked at the hill opposite, which was covered with all kinds of fortifications, layer by layer of barbed wire, and the trenches were full of sandbags, all kinds of light and dark forts, for the fortifications in front of him, Washizu was full of shock, after all, he had studied in Germany, studied civil engineering, and the defense fortifications in front of him were better and more comprehensive than what he had learned in German universities.
"The fortifications of this team are really good, but, in front of the imperial artillery, they are all scum, Qian Pingjun, look at the people of the branch and never look at the surface, although this fortification looks powerful on the surface, but in fact it is just tofu scum." Ushijima often saw Washizu apologize for his surprised appearance, and explained in a serious tone. In fact, this time to send troops to China, originally sent the 21st and 22nd divisions, but later Ushijima Minoru suddenly applied to come to China, and the Japanese army top brass saw that North Korea was safer, so they agreed to his request, transferred him back, and then went to China with the 21st division, while the 22nd division was sent to Korea. As for why Ushijima Minoru is in a hurry to come to China, there is a reason, that is, Ushijima Man, Ushijima is the third son of Ushijima Minoru, and Ushijima Minoru is Ushijima Minoru's younger brother, so this time, Ushijima Minoru is here to save his nephew, Ushijima Minoru's eldest son and second son are both after the second October Revolution, Japan and Britain sent troops to intervene in the Far East when they were killed by Maozi, at that time his two sons were only in their twenties, and now only Ushijima is left with the third son, And Ushijima often likes Ushijima to raise him almost as his own son, so it is precisely for this reason that the Japanese army leaders know this reason, so they happily promised him to let him go to China.
"Hey!" Washizu apologized and said, although the two are of the same level, but in terms of seniority, Ushijima is often older than Washizu apodium, and this time Washizu apologei is here to learn experience, so he is so respectful.
"Yes!" Ushijima nodded, seemingly satisfied with Washizu's respect, looked at the opposite position twice, turned around and said, "Let's go, send someone to test it tomorrow, it's not too early now." After saying that, he went down the mountain the same way. Washizu looked at the fortifications opposite, and followed Ushijima down the mountain, followed by a group of guards, and walked away.
"Two divisions of the devil have been reinforced, and they have been transferred from China, and they are numbered the 20th Division and the 21st Division." The intelligence officer approached him with a piece of paper. Of course, this intelligence officer is not Lu Qiang's, but the old Communist Party, Lu Qiang is extremely envious of the underground Communist Party in various regions, all of which are intelligence networks, although the communication methods are poor, but if they are handed over to Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang guarantees to make them a modern spy, no one can see it, of course, the above is a pig's foot bragging, don't pay attention to it.
"The 20th and 21st Divisions?" Lu Qiang repeated.
"That's right, it's the 20th Division and the 21st Division, what's wrong?" The person who came also repeated one side, and then asked. His impression of Lu Qiang was very good, of course, this is good in the fact that Lu Qiang lent them a lot of weapon resources when they were in trouble.
"The 21st Division is nothing, the key is the 20th Division, although everyone says that he is a B division, but privately people call it a division, and the equipment is also the equipment of a A division, it is one of the 17 most elite divisions in Japan, and it is stationed in Korea all year round." Lu Qiang said with a serious face, and suddenly he lowered his head again, "No, the 20th Division should be stationed in North Korea now, how can it be transferred to encircle and suppress us?" Lu Qiang was a little in a daze, if the 20th Division was right, it should have been transferred to the Pacific Theater in 1942, and now it seems a little crooked to go out of the mountain so early. But it doesn't matter, it's better if it's crooked, hehe!
"The A division is much more powerful than the little devil's B division." Deputy Commander Xiang sat on a chair, holding his face with one hand and pulling the map with the other.
"It's okay, let the troops reconnoiter the Japanese station, and throw a few thousand shells over tonight." Lu Qiangcai didn't care what kind of division regiment was not a division regiment, he threw a batch of big bombs to force him over, and blew up a person on his back.
The 6th Division and the 13th Division, which returned from the west, are still halfway there, but Lu Qiang has already placed a battalion on the Mahe Bridge and equipped with various powerful weapons, the purpose is to block these two half-disabled divisions on the west bank of the Mahe River.
"Buzz~~" The artillerymen shook the crank with their hands, adjusted the angle of the artillery, and calibrated the elements.
Now that it was dark, the artillery positions had long been lit with lights, the diesel engines were rumbling to generate electricity, the entire artillery positions were on fire, and the artillerymen who had been prepared for a long time were assembled in cotton coats in the open space.
On the corner side of the artillery position, 24 150mm96 howitzers with extreme ammunition were stacked. Before setting fire to the mountain, this batch of artillery was fortunately preserved, the reason is that the Japanese army cleared all the weeds around the artillery position, resulting in the fire did not burn to the artillery position, and the ammunition was also preserved, but the artillery barrels in the open air were red by the smoke and fire, as if they had been burned, resulting in the barrels of these guns, the accuracy of which decreased, Lu Qiang was ready to sell them all, sold them to the system, and the shells were also sold together, anyway, he couldn't use the 150mm shells, although the 152mm guns could fight, but the accuracy was insufficient, The damage to the barrel is greater, unless there are really no shells, this method is used, but is Lu Qiang short of shells? There is no shortage, so all the captured artillery is sold and sold, and the Fourth Army does not want it, this thing is too heavy, they run around by the footboard, and this thing is not pulled by a car, it is a burden, it is not as good as 60 mortars.
"Get in place!" As soon as the commander gave the order, all the artillerymen were in position, and the artillerymen in groups of five began to check the chambers, open the ammunition boxes, and put the shells next to them.
In a tin house, six crooked nuts were locked inside, looking through the small window, looking at the artillery positions outside, the skillful artillerymen were greatly surprised, when did China have such an artillery.
"Looks like we're in a terrible place." A crooked nut spread his hands and said.
"yes." Another crooked nut excused.
"Look at them, they seem to be going to open fire." Wolf, who had been keeping an eye on the artillery outside the window, shouted.
"Shoot!" The commander waved the flag, the gunner pulled the gun rope suddenly, and the thick barrel suddenly retreated, spewing out old flames from the mouth of the retractor, and a huge roar shook the tin house.
"Oh, that's a loud sound, but it's a little worse than the Empire's artillery." A German was surprised by the huge movement of the artillery when it was fired, but he felt that he could not lose the face of the Reich, so he said.
"This caliber is more than 150mm, and it is estimated that it is 155mm." A German covered his ears and shouted.
"Ah, what did you say?" The people around him couldn't hear it clearly, because it was too loud.
"I said, this gun has a caliber of 155mm." The man repeated again.
"Huh? Still can't hear clearly, you can be louder. ”
“……”
The artillery position of the Japanese army, there is a wing of 105mm howitzers here, but now the construction of artillery positions has begun, the cannon is still covered with gun clothing, the barrel is still straight, not erected, the Japanese artillery is digging a pit to help hoeing, and the ammunition is also piled up and put aside.
"Huh~~Woo~~" A very familiar voice suddenly came from the sky, and an artilleryman looked up, only to see bright spots flying in the sky, making a screaming sound. As an artilleryman who fights all year round, he doesn't know what this is. The screams grew deeper and lower, closer and closer, and finally, falling to the ground, the fuse was triggered, and the fired high-explosive grenade exploded in an instant, and the flames engulfed everything around it at once. Subsequent shells rained down.
Lu Qiang took the telescope and wanted to look at the side of the mountain, but he was blocked by a mountain, and he could only see the fire in the sky, and the sound of the explosion soon came, and the ground shook over.
"Drones are good, presumably the little devils can't guess how I know their artillery positions." Lu Qiang said with a smile.
Lu Qiang's artillery hit the Japanese artillery position so accurately, all thanks to the aerial photography, small and exquisite, the Japanese army could not find it at an altitude of thousands of meters, but his aerial photography could unscrupulously shoot all the actions of the Japanese army.
One after another, like rain, fell on the Japanese 105mm howitzer positions, splashing one fireworks after another.
Sitting in the tent, Minoru Ushijima, who was about to eat dinner, suddenly felt the ground shake, and the stirrups hanging in the tent shook, and the piece of meat that he had just picked up with chopsticks fell from the chopsticks into the bowl after this shock, and he shouted, "What's the matter?" But as soon as the words fell, a roar followed, and what he heard was the sound of heavy artillery. Could it be that their artillery fired the artillery? No, he didn't give an order, and the voice seemed to come from behind.
Just when he was puzzled, a Japanese soldier hurriedly ran in and hurriedly said: "General, no, the 105 howitzer position in our rear has been attacked." ”
"Nani?!" Ushijima was often shocked when he heard this, at first he thought that his artillery was testing the cannon or something, but now the answer to him was that his artillery had been attacked, which frightened him all of a sudden, and he couldn't care much about it, so he pushed away the soldiers in front of him, took the binoculars, and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been eating dinner, now had their weapons on their shoulders, holding rice balls in their hands, and looking at the flames in the ravine in the distance. Above their heads, a series of shells like meteors, with a screeching sound, flew to the Japanese artillery positions.
Ushijima often holds a telescope and looks at his own artillery positions that are blooming everywhere, but he can't see anything anymore, they are all shrouded in the flames of the explosion, and when this shelling is over, it is estimated that his artillery wing will no longer exist. "Eight Tooth Road!" He slammed the telescope in his hand to the ground, indicating how angry he was now, but at the same time, he was also shocked by the number of artillery, and it was estimated that hundreds of shells flew over during the time he came out.
