Chapter 737: The Clever Use of Fueling Tactics

The magic of fueling tactics

"Boom, boom, boom...", although the distance between the forward corps and the main force is a full twelve kilometers. However, in the Japanese barracks in Datang Town, the huge artillery shells exploded, and they still faintly reached the barracks of the main force of the Kwantung Army, and all the Japanese soldiers were in their ears....

"Yaga, where did the cannon sound come from. It's not good, it's the sound of artillery from Datang Town, something must have happened to the Forward Corps... Operational staff officer, immediately contact the forward corps, what is the sound of artillery, what happened to the forward soldiers......" Commander Mitsu every time General Lang, after hearing the continuous sound of huge artillery shells exploding in the direction of Datang Town, he couldn't help frowning and asked. At the same time, a trace of bad premonition also surfaced in his heart

"Ha Yi ......" the combat staff officer responded decisively and quickly rushed out of the headquarters.

What makes General Mitsu feel desperate is this. Less than two minutes later, the operational staff officer, who had just left, rushed in with a panicked face. Then, with an eager face, he replied:

"Your Excellency Commander, something has happened, we have lost contact with the Forward Corps....The Chief of Telecommunications has just reported that the entire Forward Corps, all the radio stations above the wing level, have lost contact with the headquarters... In addition, the forward observation post reported that the sky above Datang Town, where the forward corps barracks were located, had been completely shrouded in firelight, as if it had been hit by heavy artillery fire......"

"Nani, the forward corps has been hit by artillery fire, and the eight grid tooth road, the cunning Zhi Na people, it is simply ghostly...... Since they want to come and die, then I, Mitsu, will fulfill them every time... Immediately convey my order: the 102nd Division, the 102nd Division, the 135th Division, and the 136th Division will immediately set out to reinforce the forward corps. We must rush to Datang Town in the shortest possible time, and with the cooperation of the forward corps without internal and external attacks, surround and completely annihilate the Northeast Field Army that attacked us..."A burst of anger hit his heart, and after a short thought, General Mitsu ordered without any hesitation, and with a murderous face.

The barracks where hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are located, although the area and scale are very large. However, the movement of the four main divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops is still very huge. Just four main divisions, with a large number of heavy weapons, had just left the barracks. One after another, news about the beginning of the movement of the Japanese army reached the ears of the commander of the plateau of the Third Corps through the intelligence officers......

"Commander Gao, the little devil has started to act, a total of four field divisions and more than 100,000 people. What should we do next. Whether or not the original battle plan will be carried out ......" After hearing the report of the combat staff officer, Bruce Lee, commander of the guard division, immediately showed an excited look on his face. Facing the commander-in-chief Gao Yuan beside him, he asked with a look of eagerness.

"Division Commander Li, have the various participating units entered their own combat positions as required, especially the several artillery clusters in our hands...."Time was pressing, and Gao Yuan did not hesitate, and asked bluntly...

"It's all in place," Bruce Lee replied in the affirmative.

"Well... Division Commander Li, the Japanese army dispatched four field divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops. In terms of troops, we no longer have any advantage....therefore, my opinion is that in this battle, infantry cooperation is supplemented, and artillery combat is the mainstay. Find a way to knock out the artillery units of the little devils. Only in this way will we be able to take the initiative in the next battle. Of course, there was still no change in the original battle plan, with the hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands, before dawn, at least one field division of the Japanese army would be eaten..."Gao Yuan pointed to the combat map in front of him and said...

"Commander Gao, you can give an order....all the commanders and fighters of the guard division, promise to obey the command......" Bruce Lee replied affirmatively, and his face was also shrouded in excitement as Gao Yuan's voice fell...

"Okay, according to the original battle plan, the Japanese reinforcements, after entering the ambush circle, immediately launched an attack....Guard Division, we must cut off the marching column of the Japanese reinforcements in the shortest possible time. Then, like a nail, it was nailed to the position until the whole ambush was completely over... The artillery unit, in accordance with the predetermined combat plan, carried out the tactics of refueling the enemy's artillery unit, and the specific battle was commanded by Division Commander Chen Guangrong... Now I order, all combat units, immediately enter the positions and prepare for battle...."Gao Yuan ordered very decisively......,

At the temporary command post of the artillery position, Chen Guangrong, commander of the heavy artillery division, was listening to the artillery staff officer in front of him with a serious face, reporting the specific location of each artillery position and the firepower allocation....

"Division commander, according to the requirements, the No. 1 artillery position is equipped with all the infantry guns belonging to the first corps of the Third Corps, a total of nine infantry artillery batteries, 54 artillery pieces ... Artillery position No. 2, where all the remaining infantry guns of the 3rd Corps were deployed, a total of 130 guns ... The No. 3 artillery position deployed all the mountain artillery ....... No. 7 artillery positions of the nine mountain artillery battalions of the Third Corps, and the only rocket artillery regiment of our heavy artillery division, with a total of 108 rocket artillery guns... At the moment, all artillery units have entered their positions and are ready to go...", pointing to the map in front of him, the artillery staff officer reported.

"Very good, order all artillery positions, be on standby at any time, and be ready for battle...."Chen Guangrong nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he set his eyes on the battlefield not far away where a large-scale ambush battle was about to break out...

Finally, while Chen Guangrong was anxiously waiting, a crisp phone ringing reached everyone's ears.

"Report to the division commander, forward observation post report. The strength of a Japanese division has successfully entered an ambush position. The commander-in-chief of the front line asked our artillery unit to open fire immediately and deliver a devastating artillery blow to the enemy......." After answering the phone, the artillery staff officer replied with an excited face.

"Okay, after waiting for so long, it's finally our turn to come on the field...."Chen Guangrong let out a long sigh of relief and replied excitedly.

However, in just a moment, Chen Guangrong's excited face was shrouded in a serious look. Then, facing the artillery staff officer in front of him, he gave a decisive order.

"Staff Officer Wang, convey my order, the No. 1 artillery position, shoot at Zhuyuan as scheduled, and immediately open fire to attract artillery fire from enemy reinforcements... Order the No. 2 artillery position, prepare for battle....At the same time, order all artillery staff officers to be ready to calculate the specific location of the enemy's artillery position. It is necessary to calculate the specific location of the Japanese artillery positions at the first time..."

"Yes, Commander..."

"Boom, boom, boom...", a loud roar sounded over the No. 1 artillery position. Immediately after, a few kilometers away over the ambush battlefield, it was lit red by the fire generated by the explosion of the shells....

One minute, two minutes... As the minutes ticked by. Artillery position No. 1, next to each infantry gun, was piled up with shell casings of no less than fifty shells. Although, after ten minutes of continuous shelling, each artilleryman showed a tired look on his face. However, no one in the huge artillery position rested, and in the cold night, bare-chested, the shells were quickly pushed into the chamber and fired......

Of course, ten minutes of continuous artillery bombardment, enough to be attacked, well-trained Japanese artillery units, set up positions, launch a counterattack ...

Sure enough, just when hundreds of artillerymen were tirelessly repeating their actions and firing at the target. A sharp whistling sound of cannonballs reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, a small hill less than fifty meters from the artillery position broke, and a huge shell explosion was heard. It is clear that this is a test firing of the little devil artillery, and in a minute at most, dense shells will fall on everyone's side ....

"Quick, the troops will move immediately, and the little devils will start to fight back......"

The artillery commander decisively gave the order to retreat, and the entire artillery position, at the first time, fell into chaos... Although, the fighters used their fastest speed to transfer the artillery in their hands. However, when the first round of Japanese artillery fire arrived, dozens of artillery pieces, along with nearly a hundred artillery personnel, were completely enveloped by the fierce artillery fire...

"Division commander, the No. 1 artillery position was hit by heavy artillery fire from at least two Japanese artillery wings, and 12 artillery pieces and 132 artillery pieces were lost....At present, the staff has successfully calculated the specific location of the Japanese artillery position...."Rushing into the headquarters, the artillery staff officer hurriedly reported.

Looking not far away, the No. 1 artillery position, which had been completely enveloped by artillery fire. Chen Guangrong, who had a serious face, immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "Two artillery wings, with only more than 100 guns in the No. 2 artillery position, is enough for them to drink a pot....immediately give an order to the No. 2 artillery position, all artillery, immediately adjust the shooting Zhu Yuan, the target, the Japanese artillery position, immediately counterattack...", "Yes, division commander......"

Less than five minutes after Chen Guangrong's order was issued, the Japanese artillery position, which was still extremely arrogant, began to slowly mute fire under the fierce counterattack of more than 100 artillery pieces......

In the Japanese barracks, the artillery battle between the enemy and us had just lasted less than five minutes. An operational staff officer rushed into the general headquarters out of breath. Then, he said with a panicked face.

"Your Excellency Commander, reinforcements to the troops of Datang Town, urgent telegram. The troops were heavily attacked by the blocking forces of China. The artillery positions of our army were fiercely counterattacked by more than a hundred artillery pieces of the enemy, the troops suffered heavy losses, and artillery support was requested ...

"Baga....immediately dispatch two field heavy artillery wings to counterattack, must destroy the artillery positions of the Zhina people, quickly....order reinforcements, immediately break through the defense line of the Zhina, and must rush to Datang Town in the shortest possible time to join the forward corps. Otherwise, military law is engaged..."General Mitsu ordered each time Lang very decisively.

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander..."

In less than 10 minutes, two field heavy artillery wings and more than 70 large-caliber howitzers began to launch a fierce counterattack on the No. 2 artillery position by virtue of their own range advantage......

"Division commander, according to the report of the forward artillery observation post, the Japanese army has assembled two field heavy artillery wings, totaling more than 70 large-caliber howitzers, to launch an unusually fierce counterattack on our No. 2 artillery position...... Because there are too many artillery pieces on the position, the losses this time are a bit large..."In the general headquarters of the heavy artillery division, the artillery staff officer said with a hesitant expression.

"Have you figured out the specific location of the Japanese artillery position, and whether the artillery position of the little devil is within the range of the mountain artillery of my No. 3 position?" Regarding the specific losses of the troops, Chen Guangrong did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he asked rhetorically with a solemn face.

"It has been calculated, more than 70 large-caliber howitzers are completely within the firing range of the mountain guns of our army's No. 3 artillery position..."The artillery staff officer replied with great certainty.

"Okay, let the little devil have a good taste today, our refueling tactics....tell the soldiers of the No. 3 artillery position, I am aiming and fighting, I must avenge the sacrificed comrades, and destroy all the artillery positions exposed by the Japanese army..."The corners of Chen Guangrong's mouth quickly flashed a sneer, and then, very decisively, ordered.

"Yes, Commander......"

Artillery position No. 3 had just opened fire for less than two minutes. At a time when more than 200 artillery pieces on both sides were firing fiercely. In the Japanese general headquarters, the combat staff officers rushed in breathlessly again.

"Your Excellency Commander, something has happened...."

"Nani?" Listening to the constant sound of shell explosions in the barracks, Mitsu immediately frowned at every time he was a senior general, waiting for the answer of the combat staff officer in front of him.

"Your Excellency, commander, two minutes ago, the people of China once again dispatched an artillery group to launch a counterattack on our artillery positions. At present, the two field heavy artillery wings of our army are fighting very hard... However, the enemy's artillery fire was simply too much, and with more than 70 guns of two field heavy artillery wings, we could hold out for ten minutes at most..."The combat staff officer quickly replied.

"Eight Geya Road, the cunning Zhina people, the cunning Northeast Field Army, actually hide so much heavy firepower....but, don't forget, they don't forget, in my hands, there are five field heavy artillery wings and dozens of artillery wings directly under the division and regiment. Since the cunning Shina want to have an even artillery battle with us. Then, tonight, let them have a good taste of the true strength of our Kwantung Army and artillery units...."Every time Mitsu General Lang's face was immediately enveloped in a thick murderous aura.

"Now I order......the remaining three field heavy artillery wings to immediately set up positions and counterattack. Tell all the wing commanders that they must completely destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese people....At the same time, the field artillery wings belonging to each division and regiment were ordered to immediately set up positions and wait for orders from the headquarters...."

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise, and he will immediately deliver the order......

As the minutes ticked by, one artillery unit after another joined the battle, as we both joined the battle. In less than a few hours, an unprecedented, at least on the Chinese battlefield, an artillery battle began, under the command of Chen Guangrong. However, Chen Guangrong, as the commander-in-chief, regardless of the various artillery positions, faced with the fierce counterattack of dozens of Japanese artillery positions, what a huge price he paid. As a killer weapon in his own hands, the only rocket artillery regiment of the heavy artillery division has never been used...

Listen to the shrill whistling of shells in the sky, the deafening explosions. The face of the artillery commander-in-chief, Chen Guangrong, looked very calm, without a trace of waves. However, in my heart, I was very anxious. Because he knew that under the fierce blows of hundreds of large-caliber guns of the Japanese army, his artillery units would suffer a loss every minute ...

The hard work pays off, perhaps it is God's favor for the Northeast Field Army. Just when Chen Guangrong was standing at the headquarters and waiting anxiously, the figure of the artillery staff officer appeared in front of everyone in a very timely manner.

"Report to the division commander, according to the forward observation post report. So far, the Japanese army has used a total of five field heavy artillery wings, six artillery wings, and a total of more than 400 large-caliber artillery pieces to fire at our troops...."

"Five field heavy artillery wings, six field artillery wings. It seems that our opponent has almost put all of his own wealth on the table....now, it is finally our turn to play the killer feature. Staff Officer Wang, have all the specific locations of all the artillery positions of the Japanese army been calculated? Chen Chen Guangrong asked excitedly.

"It's all calculated," replied the artillery staff officer in the affirmative.

"Very well....immediately send all the firing elements to the positions of the rocket artillery regiment. The rocket artillery regiment was ordered to conduct ten rounds of rapid fire at all targets in accordance with the daily average of positions or the al-Ori in accordance with the daily average of positions. Then, immediately transfer the artillery position and continue to stand by...."Chen Guangrong ordered decisively.

"Yes, Commander......"

"Whoosh, whoosh..."A whistling sound broke through the air and reached everyone's ears. The rocket artillery regiment, more than 100 rocket launchers, a total of more than 600 rockets, flew towards their target like stars and raindrops....

More than 100 rocket launchers, 10 rounds of fire, almost 6,000 rockets, almost all of them entered the Japanese artillery positions in less than five minutes... For a time, in the huge barracks of the Japanese army, one artillery position after another, under the blow of rocket artillery raining shells, turned into a ruin......

"Order all artillery positions, concentrate the remaining artillery fire, and launch a final counteroffensive against the remaining Japanese artillery positions under the command of forward artillery observers. We must destroy all the large-caliber artillery of the Japanese army before dawn...."Feeling the weaker and weaker counterattack artillery fire of the Japanese army, Chen Guangrong's face was immediately replaced by a smile of victory, and he ordered with excitement.
