Chapter 477: Artillery Battle
By the time the attacking troops received the order to retreat, two mountain artillery battalions had already fired three rounds of shells. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that the Russian army began to retreat, whether it was the fourth regiment or the two mountain artillery battalions, they didn't want to miss this opportunity to chase the Russian army and beat the water dogs.
Therefore, in the end, a regiment of the Russian army retreated, and there were not even two companies of 400 people.
"It's finally won, I hope the casualties of the fourth regiment won't be too big!" Zhou Qiangsheng, who subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but muttered to himself.
At this time, Yang Xingguo's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Don't rejoice too early, the Russian army has suffered such a large loss, it is impossible to give up?"
"Commander, what do you mean?" Zhou Qiangsheng hurriedly asked.
Yang Xingguo asked with a serious face: "Has your field artillery regiment been transferred, and there are still four regiments, immediately enter the defensive artillery hole, and the Russian army will soon counterattack!" ”
"The special operations detachment just reported that the Russian army still has thirty percent of the artillery regiments, two heavy artillery regiments, and one field artillery regiment. These three regiments were all repairing artillery positions, and they must have wanted to destroy the field artillery regiment that we had just exposed, and then take our positions in one fell swoop. ”
Zhou Qiangsheng's face also became serious, and he replied to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, rest assured, the field artillery regiment has been transferred, and the fourth regiment is also retreating to the anti-artillery hole." ”
"It's just that the Russian army used one field artillery regiment and two heavy artillery regiments that it saved at once, and I'm worried that we won't be able to hold our positions!"
"You should have seen the battle just now, just one field artillery regiment almost destroyed the position. If you add two more heavy artillery regiments, the position will really be razed to the ground. ”
"Don't worry, didn't I bring you Division Commander Zhong and Chief of Staff Zhang of the Heavy Artillery Division? There are four heavy artillery regiments of the heavy artillery division to support you, and you are also worried about two heavy artillery regiments and one field artillery regiment of the Russian army! Yang Xingguo said confidently.
Seeing Zhou Qiangchang breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Xingguo directly ordered: "Division Commander Zhou, you have only one task next, to cooperate with the heavy artillery division to take down the remaining three artillery regiments of the Russian army." ”
"As long as we eat their artillery, the rest of the infantry is a piece of fat, and we can fight as much as we want."
Zhou Qiangsheng replied very quickly: "Commander, I know the threat of Russian artillery to us, how to cooperate, you give orders!" ”
At the same time, the commander of the Russian artillery division was also plotting how to eat the field artillery regiment that had just been exposed by the Liaodong Army.
As soon as the 4th Regiment withdrew to the anti-artillery hole, a field artillery regiment of the Russian army began to cover the positions of the 4th Regiment with retaliatory artillery fire.
As for the remaining two heavy artillery regiments, they are on standby, firing artillery at any time to eliminate the field artillery regiment of the Liaodong Army that may be reexposed.
did not disappoint the Russian army, and less than three minutes after the opening of the Russian army, the field artillery regiment of the Liaodong Army began to counterattack.
What the Russian army did not expect was that this time, Zhong Hu actually divided the field artillery regiment into three and fired artillery with battalions as units.
Now the commander of the Russian heavy artillery division is in trouble.
The field artillery regiment attacked by the Liaodong Army, although it was ready to counterattack at the first time.
However, because the field artillery regiment of the Liaodong Army took the lead, it was able to counterattack by firing several rounds of shells at its own field artillery regiment in a row.
When the time comes, it would be good if half of the field artillery of a regiment could continue to fire.
Therefore, with the field artillery regiment, at most it can counterattack a field artillery battalion scattered by the Liaodong Army.
As for the remaining two field artillery battalions, they could only be handed over to the two heavy artillery regiments that were already on standby.
Unexpectedly, the Liaodong Army also came to the Russian army, which also had heavy artillery, and immediately used one of its own heavy artillery regiments to counterattack against a field artillery battalion of the Liaodong Army.
"Woooooooooo......oo Thundered! "Heavy artillery shells with a screeching sound had just flown over, and a violent explosion was left in the field artillery position.
The artillery scattered on various gun emplacements, although reluctantly. But in order to save their lives, they still left the gun position as soon as possible and fled for their lives around the artillery position.
The Russian heavy artillery regiment, which had already opened fire, did not know that it had shelled the field artillery positions of the Liaodong Army by itself.
Having received the order to completely destroy the field artillery regiment of the Liaodong Army, even if they did not see the field artillery of the Liaodong Army counterattacking again, they still spared no effort to fire shells at the positions of the field artillery battalions they identified.
Seeing that the Russian army had exposed all its artillery strength, Zhong Hu's face immediately became fanatical.
Zhang Shaozeng, chief of staff of the heavy artillery division on the side, also had his eyes shining, and reminded Zhong Hu: "Division commander, you can start!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhong Hu nodded and ordered: "The first and second regiments of heavy artillery, counterattack the heavy artillery regiment in front of the Russian army!" Three regiments, four regiments, counterattack the heavy artillery regiment behind the Russian army! “
"The four heavy artillery regiments must be lethal with one blow, do not give the Russian artillery time to transfer, and destroy them in the shortest possible time?"
After the order was given, Zhong Hu became worried.
Holding a telescope, what do you continue to search for on the battlefield? On the other hand, he asked Zhang Shaozeng: "Chief of Staff, our two heavy artillery regiments against one heavy artillery regiment of the Russian army, two against one, there should be no problem with me!" ”
"No problem!" Zhang Shaozeng replied confidently.
"The regiments have not been to replenish the captured Russian artillery, and none of our three heavy artillery regiments is an opponent of a single heavy artillery regiment of the Russian army. But after the addition of this captured Russian artillery, the combat effectiveness of our heavy artillery division has at least doubled! ”
"Two regiments against one of them, there is no problem at all!"
"Also, we have the upper hand in this artillery battle, as long as the first shot hits, as long as thirty percent of the shells in the first round of shells fall on the Russian artillery positions, it will be enough to destroy at least thirty percent of their artillery."
"In addition, it also takes time for the Russian heavy artillery units to counterattack, as long as there are no accidents, when they counterattack, more than half of the artillery and artillery have been lost!"
Zhong Hu, whose face had regained some confidence slightly, nodded and turned his attention to the battlefield again.
At this time, with the assistance of a large number of Russian prisoners in the army, more than 100 artillery pieces of the four heavy artillery regiments of the heavy artillery division were all ready to open fire.
Therefore, as soon as Zhong Hu's order came, the four regiment commanders gave the order to open fire.
Immediately, a deafening roar remained in the artillery positions......
When a large number of shells with a screeching sound flew out of the barrel of the cannon, flew in the air for just a few seconds, and were about to reach the position of the Russian heavy artillery regiment.
The position of the Russian heavy artillery regiment with the rumbling of artillery, the busy Russian gunners only felt that something was wrong.
Hearing the screams getting louder and louder, the sophisticated ones immediately realized that there were shells, and a large number of shells were flying towards them.
Shocked, these gunners let out a cry of horror while subconsciously lying on the ground to avoid the shelling.
"Boom!" Soon, the screeching shells exploded around them.
Those Russian gunners who either volunteered or were forced to join the Liaodong Army, from the moment they made their decision, they couldn't go back.
In order to continue to live, they only hope that the Liaodong Army can exist forever.
So, for this battle, they are particularly dedicated.
In addition, the Liaodong Army gave them a lot of promises before the war, as long as they could fight this battle well, they would have a property of their own in Liaozhong.
So, even for their own sake, they are very desperate! (To be continued.) )
