Chapter 290: Artillery Attack

"Boom!" The roar of cars reached the ears of the officers and men of the Fifth Division.

While the 5th Division was attacking around the core bunker group of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, a long convoy drove behind them, and the convoy was full of five-ton trucks, and behind them there were many vehicles carrying many things.

As soon as they arrived at the place, they began to get busy more than 10 kilometers away from the Japanese position, and this group of men and horses was led by Wang Qinglong himself, and Wang Dayong and several staff officers from the division headquarters hurriedly greeted them.

"Qinglong, why are you personally leading the team this time, wouldn't it be better if you sent your subordinates to come in person?" Wang Dayong smiled and punched Wang Qinglong in the shoulder.

"There's no way, Chief Su personally gave me a phone call and asked me to level this bunker group within three hours, I don't dare to slack off, otherwise you know Chief Su's temper." Wang Qinglong said with a wry smile.

"Alright then, you move quickly." Wang Dayong nodded and said.

It was a regiment of heavy artillery designed for siege purposes, armed with six mén 305 caliber heavy howitzers. This heavy cannon was the first artillery developed by the Chahar artillery experts and several Jewish artillery experts, and was designed to be used to capture positions that were difficult for ordinary artillery to capture.

The 305 mm heavy howitzer, named 'Heavy Hammer', is currently the most deterrent artillery in Chahar, the shell weighs 330 kilograms, can penetrate concrete at a distance of 60 degrees at a distance of 1,000 meters to 2.5 meters thick, the gun has a range of 16,500 meters, and the muzzle velocity is 530 meters per second.

After hundreds of artillerymen were busy for nearly a month and a half, they finally served these six 'masters', and with Wang Qinglong's order, the loaders shook the gourds and hoisted the shells weighing hundreds of kilograms onto the pulley, and the three loaders immediately used the bullet to push the shells weighing 330 kilograms into the chamber of the 305 mm heavy howitzer that was shaken flat.

"Bang Dang"

A dull thud sounded, and one of the gunners closed the heavy running bolt.

"Ready!"

"Target, enemy fortress group!"

Hearing the constant roars of the gunners, the commander immediately raised the red flag in his hand and blew the whistle in his mouth vigorously, and at the same time waved the red flag.

"Put!"

"Knock Knock ......"

Heavy sounds sounded almost simultaneously, and the heavy shells flew out of the barrels at great speed, whistling towards the bunker group of the Japanese army.

"Boom"

The Japanese positions were filled with gunsmoke, and the Japanese soldiers in the bunkers only felt a shaking under their feet, as if a giant was pounding on the ground.

This tremor reached the headquarters of the 36th Division not far from the core bunker group, and the violent artillery fire shocked everyone in the command headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese have used siege artillery, and they are now storming our bunker complex with it."

"Nani, they even have a cannon?" Kajiro Muraaka sighed in a low voice, "Originally, I had estimated them very highly, but now it seems that they are not enough. ”

"Your Excellency, the concrete thickness of our core fortress has reached three meters, and the people of China cannot attack it." A staff officer comforted.

"I hope so!" The worry in Kajiro Mumanaka's eyes became more and more intense.

The explosive power of a 305 mm caliber cannon can already be described as terrifying. As long as the outer thickness of the bunker hit by it is not more than three meters, it will not be able to stop its explosion power at all.

The core bunker group of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army is based on the three xiǎo mountain packs, which are connected by three large bunker groups and hundreds of bunkers, and they are very concealed and the angles are also very tricky, and with dozens of mén 35 mm high shè guns, it is not easy for aircraft to destroy from the air. Originally, Kajiro in the village was confident that the army of the Chahar side would meet here and bleed and the corpses were strewn all over the field, but he didn't expect that he would be approached to the central area by others in less than a day.

The speed of the 305 mm cannon shè was very slow, it took almost more than ten minutes to fire a shell, but each shell seemed to knock on the hearts of Japanese soldiers. Seeing that the other party used a giant cannon to name their bunker groups one by one, but they couldn't fight others, they wanted to fight with the opponent's infantry, they didn't play with you, and retreated to a place a kilometer away to see the scenery, such a battle thirty-six has never been experienced, one by one remembers to hit the wall, and can only helplessly watch their bunkers decrease one by one.

Just when the 36th Division was helpless and desperate, the 25th Division of the Japanese Army was also in full swing.

"Whew, Wow......"

In the soft ground blown by the shells, the sound of soldiers shaking was constantly heard, and on the position filled with gunsmoke, a group of Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms bent over with rifles and approached the front under the command of the officer.

There was a constant whistling of shells in the air as they flew overhead, and dense explosions came from front and behind. The 70th Wing, which was one foot deep and one corner shallow, dragged two mén 37 mm caliber battle defense guns, and more than a dozen soldiers struggled to push the nearly 400 kilogram battle defense guns out of the crater, which was the only two mén battle defense guns of the 70th Wing.

"Pass it on, don't make a sound!"

Inoue Yudasa, commanding two brigades of soldiers, was struggling to rush to the position of the original 14th Wing, his wing had been split by the division commander into a brigade of the 40th Wing, and now only two brigades remained.

"I hope the 14th Wing can hold out until the time they arrive! Nakai-kun, you have to hold on! Inoue Yudai looked at the gray sky and thought silently in his heart.

Inoue Yuu, who was marching with heavy steps, prayed in his heart that if the position of the 14th Wing was lost, then his own wing would fall into a situation where there were no fortifications to defend on the way to reinforcements. At that time, it would become a live target under the artillery fire of the Chinese army, and at this time, the dense explosions from the west and the monotonous clatter of machine gun fire made Tasaka feel a little reassured, and the sound of these guns at least proved that there were still people fighting in the 14th Wing.

The soldiers of the 70th Wing, who were on the march with their heads down, did not notice a lone dive bomber passing by in the sky from their side, and the plane leaned slightly, as if to confirm something, and then flew away.

Dozens of seconds later, the whistling sound in the air became sharper and sharper, and the whistling of the cannonballs tearing the sky almost made the earth tremble, and Inoue Yu's face instantly turned pale, and he immediately realized that these cannonballs were coming at him.

"Shelling! Lie down! Lie down! ”

At this time, there was a panic in the ranks of the Japanese soldiers who were marching, and the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in a very ugly posture.

"Boom!"

At the moment when they lay down, the rain of bullets immediately fell, and Inoue Yuu only felt that the mountains shook for a while, and the originally silent earth was suddenly shrouded in dense gunpowder smoke and black dirt that was blown into the air.

"Baga, we have been discovered, hurry up and hide, hurry up and hide!" Inoue was shouting loudly, but it was his cry that was blown away in the wind.

The dense shells continued to bombard the place where there was no hiding place from their troops, and the rain of bullets became more and more dense, which made Inoue Yuya feel a little unbearable, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent again, and the artillery rain stopped without warning as he had arrived before.

"Chariots!"

The soldiers of the 70th Wing, who had not yet woken up from the shock of the shelling, heard dozens of frightened screams coming from ahead.

Inoue Yu stood up from the crater, lying on the edge of the crater, and before he could shake off the dirt on his body, he hurriedly grabbed the binoculars on his chest and looked into the distance. With just a glance at Inoue, he felt the danger he was about to face, and the low, trembling roar of the diesel engine came through the smoke from the slope not far away. The silhouette of the chariot could be faintly seen in the smoke of gunfire, and from the telescope, the leading tanks could be seen crushing the ground slowly, and the dirt that had been crushed from the ground was constantly shaking off the tracks to the ground.

"Yaga!"

As soon as he turned his head, Inoue Yu became angry, his herald was trembling there, his lips were a little purple, and he was just muttering "chariot, chariot" Obviously he was frightened.

"Smack, smack!" Inoue Yu slapped the herald twice hard, and the pain on his face brought the herald back to his senses

"First class soldier, you immediately notify the battle defense artillery to use the crater to conceal the artillery position!"

As soon as the herald returned, God sounded the order of the wing commander.

"Fortify in place! Get ready for battle! ”

As the order was issued, nearly 3,000 soldiers of the 70th Wing were laid in place, and the craters from the previous shells became their best shelter. The soldiers who were clinging to the crater immediately opened the safety of the 38 rifle and took aim at the front, although they were usually very confident in the 38 rifle in their hand, but they were really not sure if they could deal with the monster that was roaring in front of them.

Listening to the roar of the diesel engine, which was getting louder and louder, the gunners of the 37 battle anti-aircraft guns rubbed their hands. Some anxious faces showed a little excitement, and the rifle-wielding infantry next to the gun emplacements were nervously holding their rifles and aiming at the looming oval-shaped chariots painted dark green, and the gun commander holding the bolt in his hand couldn't help but swallow his saliva and moisten his dry throat.

"Fire"

At this time, the artillery commander heard the order from the wing commander in the distance and pulled the running bolt hard, and the 37 battle anti-aircraft gun made a loud sound and the shell rushed out of the barrel of the cannon
