"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "At noon, the sun was shining, and the two infantry wings of the 127th Brigade, the main force of the 114th Division, launched an attack on the defensive position of Erpu Town, with the cooperation of the artillery wing directly under the division.

Knowing that the Chinese defenders had strong firepower, Kozaburo Akiyama, the commander of the 127th Brigade who was in charge of directing the attack, did not rush to let the infantry charge, but ordered the field artillery wing and the artillery squadrons of each infantry wing to launch a fierce artillery bombardment of the positions of the regiment.

"I ...... Bang...... Boom ......" The sharp whistling of shells and the explosions after landing were accompanied by billowing smoke, enveloping the position.

On the forward position of the first regiment, the second battalion and the first company, the commander of the first company, Zhao Quan, ran back and forth in the trench, although this was dangerous, but he had to do it, because those recruits were very likely to lose control of their emotions and run around under the deterrence of the devil's artillery fire.

As their commander, he is accountable to them. "Don't fucking move, give Lao Tzu a good stomach!" Zhao Quan opened his voice as he moved, and shouted loudly.

Zhao Quan braved the artillery fire of the devils to a foxhole, and saw a recruit lying in the trench with his head in his hands, but his buttocks were pouting, and he was almost level with the bunker.

Zhao Quan stepped forward and kicked the recruit's fat cheek and scolded with a smile: "Donkey, what about you pouting your ass as a cover?" Or do you want to fart and jerk off? I don't want to die and give Lao Tzu a good place to lie down. ”

The recruit was kicked and hurriedly fell down, the reason why he was like this just now was completely frightened by the earth-shattering explosion, not out of his original intention.

"Brothers, don't be too afraid, the devil's cannon sounds weird and scary, but it's not like that, the more you are afraid, the more the shells will fall to you, cheer up, our artillery will soon fight back, and then it's enough for the little devil to drink a fucking pot." Zhao Quan saw that many recruits were frightened and frightened, and shouted to everyone.

…………………… At the same time, a regimental headquarters in Erpu Town.

Qi Delong, the commander of the second battalion, said anxiously: "Tuanzao, the artillery of the little devil is too rampant, you quickly order our artillery to return fire!" ”

"There's no hurry." The commander of the regiment waved his hand and continued to smoke a cigarette: "The devil's plane has not appeared yet, don't worry, now the devil's artillery is in the light, our artillery is in the dark, I have ordered the artillery battalion to lock the location of the devil's artillery position, and after the devil's plane appears and returns, the artillery can immediately open fire, fight the devil for a time difference, after killing the devil's artillery position, our artillery will have enough time to transfer the position, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by the devil's air."

Qi Delong thought about it, and couldn't help nodding: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

"Why don't you say that Lao Tzu is the head of the regiment." Feng Guo threw the cigarette butt that only had a small section of smoke on the ground and slammed it with his foot, and said: "Okay, hurry back to your post, your second battalion will take the lead this time, you must not be careless, no matter how fierce the devil's attack is, you must resist Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes! Please rest assured, with my second battalion here, the little devil will not want to take a step forward! Qi Delong snapped upright, and then turned around and strode away.

In order to cooperate with the 114th Division and the 9th Division, almost all of the 3rd and 4th Air Corps directly under the Central China Front were dispatched to provide air support for the 13th Division and the 9th and 114th Divisions in Fengyang.

Among them, the military planes that were put into Fengyang flew more than 200 sorties in just half a day, but due to the large number of anti-aircraft weapons equipped with the rescue [***] that attacked Fengyang, the devil planes that participated in the battle of Fengyang also suffered serious losses.

Half of the dozen or so devil planes were bombers, and under the guidance of the fighters, seven or eight bombers began to rain bombs on Erpu Town.

"I ...... "Aerial bombs ...... with a sharp and piercing scream, smashed down on the positions of the first group, and the first of them was the position of the second battalion that was at the forefront.

"Boom...... Boom" A series of muffled explosions accompanied by skyrocketing flames enveloped the entire position of the second battalion, and in the firelight, from time to time, some soldiers were unfortunately killed, and to add insult to injury, the devil's fighters also began to dive and strafe at low altitudes.

The officers and men of the second battalion, who had nowhere to dodge, were shot one after another and fell into the trenches, and Qi Delong, the commander of the second battalion, who had just returned from the regimental headquarters, was furious when he saw this, holding an MG34 general-purpose machine gun placed in the command post of his battalion headquarters, and said to an accompanying adjutant: "Come here, hold the muzzle of the gun for Lao Tzu." ”

The adjutant hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the foot bracket of the universal machine gun with both hands, and raised the muzzle of the gun high.

"Ammunition man, give Lao Tzu another ammunition man!" Qi Delong looked around left and right and shouted.

Seeing this, another guard hurriedly stepped forward and acted as an ammunition driver to feed Qi Delong's general-purpose machine gun.

Everything was ready, Qi Delong opened his throat with a hideous face and began to roar: "Little devil, I'll your grandma, come on!" Before he could finish speaking, he pulled the trigger.

The MG34 general-purpose machine gun, which had been silent, suddenly began to roar, and scarlet tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, hitting a devil plane in the sky.

The MG34 universal machine gun has a large caliber and a fast rate of fire, and in the original history, it was originally the main anti-aircraft weapon of German tanks and armored vehicles.

The huge shock made the adjutant who was holding the gun in front of him miserable, but he didn't say a word, grabbed the foot bracket tightly, and lifted the MG34, which weighed more than ten kilograms, into the air.

Qi Delong had no experience in air defense, and the muzzle of the gun was always aimed at the devil's plane, but most of the dense bullets missed, and seeing that the chain of metal bullets as long as 250 rounds was rapidly shortening, and he was not even injured by the devil's plane, Qi Delong couldn't help but be angry.

This is the guard next to him reminded: "Camp, the devil's plane is flying too fast, and our bullets have been flashed by him, or you can aim your gun at the front of the devil's plane." ”

Qi Delong moved the muzzle of his gun slightly, and it happened that a devil plane was diving towards them.

"Son of a! Come on, grandpa please eat guns! Qi Delong roared again and again, continuously pulled the trigger, and the MG34, which had an extremely fast rate of fire, burst out with amazing power, and the dense 7.92mm bullets converged into a hot tongue of fire, and pounced on the high altitude in front of the devil plane.

The devil plane, which was rapidly diving, crashed head-on into the scorching tongue of fire, and the extremely powerful bullet rain instantly penetrated the weak armor of the devil's Type 95 fighter, and the pilot inside was killed on the spot, and the Type 95 fighter also began to emit raging black smoke, and one fell into the air and exploded in the open space hundreds of meters away.

Seeing that some of their companions were shot down, the remaining devil fighters hurriedly escorted the bomber group that had already dropped bombs to return in a hurry.

Qi Delong laughed excitedly when he saw this, and just wanted to put the gun down, but found that the adjutant in front of him stood still and did not react.

Qi Delong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see the adjutant's eyes glaring ahead, and there were two bloody holes in his chest, obviously dead.

"Lao Cao!" Qi Delong was grieved and began to cry.

"Kill Quack!" On the military position, the commander of the 127th Brigade, Major General Akiyama Kozaburo, who was very satisfied with the results of the shelling, brandished his command knife and ordered loudly.

The attacking troops, which had been preparing for a long time, were dispatched one after another, and under the cover of several Type ** tanks and Type 91 armored vehicles, they launched an attack on the position of the regiment.

"Camp, the devil is coming." The guard pointed ahead nervously and shouted a reminder.

Qi Delong slowly put down the body of the adjutant Lao Cao, and it took a lot of effort to break Lao Cao's clenched hands, holding the MG34 general-purpose machine gun and saying to the guards behind him: "Go, follow Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" The young guard only felt the blood boiling in his body, and immediately stepped forward to respond, and immediately picked up the ammunition box and followed Qi Delong and strode towards the front line of trenches.

In the regimental headquarters, Feng Shi put down the binoculars in his hand, and saw that the devil had launched an attack on the position of the second battalion, so he immediately turned his head and shouted: "Correspondent, notify the artillery battalion, open fire immediately, and bombard Lao Tzu with his son of a, and avenge the dead brothers!" ”

"Yes!" The communication soldier on the side hurriedly answered loudly, and immediately walked away with the order.

Suddenly, five artillery howitzer batteries (one and a half battalions) of the artillery regiment of the 2nd Division, which had been waiting for a long time, opened fire one after another.

Dozens of German-style 105 howitzers fired continuously, and a high-explosive shell weighing more than 30 catties dragged a long scarlet flame into the devil's artillery position.

The entire devil artillery position suddenly fell into a sea of fire, and in the explosion of high-explosive shells, a door type 75 field gun was blown apart one after another, and the parts and components were thrown high by the huge air wave and smashed down, and some of the devil soldiers who were lucky enough not to be killed were unlucky to be stoned to death by their own artillery parts.

Major General Kozaburo Akiyama, who was sitting in the forward command post waiting for the good news of the attacking troops, got up in horror, his face full of disbelief: "Baga, the cunning Dizhi man, he actually hid such a powerful artillery unit, immediately call the aviation branch!" ”

The staff adjutant next to him said with an ugly face: "General, you forgot, our aviation has just returned!" ”

When Akiyama Kozaburo heard this, his face suddenly darkened, it's over, this time the 120th Field Artillery Wing will be wiped out.

The artillery position of the 120th Artillery Wing of the devil was set up in an open field not far from the division headquarters, and an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded in the direction of the artillery position, which immediately alarmed the division commander and the state soldiers.

He got up and walked out of the headquarters quickly, followed the voice to look in the direction of the artillery wing's position, and asked in shock, "Isata-kun, what the hell is going on?" ”

Saburo Isata, who was standing behind him, held up the binoculars with a heavy face and said, "It seems that our artillery wing has been shelled." ”

"Baga Yalu, how can this be? How did Kozaburo Akiyama command this idiot! How could the despicable Shina have such a powerful artillery unit ?! The state soldier roared in annoyance.
