732 Anti-aircraft artillery against infantry

The Korean army reported all the movements of the Huaxia Army to Nogi Noshinori, including the Zhouqiao troops were erecting pontoon bridges, and the armored troops were covering the Zhouqiao troops to build bridges, etc., Nogi Noshinori immediately realized that now Tuanmen Village was the key point of the entire campaign, and if Tuanmen Village could not counterattack down, so that the Huaxia Army could comfortably build bridges here and attack, then Mukden would not be able to hold it.

Nogi Noshinori immediately ordered the Japanese Fourth Division, which was closest to Tuanmen Village, to rush to the aid of Tuanmen Village and recapture Tuanmen Village at all costs.

Nogi Noshinori was also worried that other troops of the Huaxia Army would take the opportunity to cross the Liao River, so he ordered all troops to defend to the death, but the Huaxia Army had no intention of ordering other troops to attack, so all the energy of both sides was concentrated in Tuanmen Village.

A big battle started in Tuanmen Village.

The 3rd Division of the ROK Army, which was the first to arrive, launched a tidal attack on Tuanmen Village, charging along the path outside the village towards the village, while the predatory artillery chariots of the Huaxia Army opened heavy fire, and the ROK charges were repulsed again and again.

Under the blow of the plundering artillery and chariots, the combat attrition of the ROK army soon exceeded 10%, but the ROK army still fought to the death.

While fighting, the 1st Armored Division sensed the danger, that is, if it continued to fight like this, the bullets and shells were likely to be exhausted, so the front-line commander of the 1st Armored Division immediately asked for help from Division Commander Lei Guang.

Although Lei Guang was the commander of the First Armored Division, he was also the commander-in-chief of the Fengtian Front, so he did not fight with the First Armored Division, but stayed on the west bank of the Liao River.

The rubber boat then went back and forth to both sides of the Liao River again and again, transporting bullets for the first armored division, and the first armored division found that to resist the enemy's attack, the bullets were enough, and the shells were useless, and there was no need for shells, so the rubber boats only transported bullets, not shells.

The battle lasted for an hour, and the casualties of the ROK 3rd Division reached 10,000, but the ROK army's charging momentum did not weaken in the slightest.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Nogi Noshinori heard that the 3rd Division of the ROK Army had suffered heavy casualties, and realized that it was not effective to rely on infantry charging alone, so he decided to put all the artillery in the artillery position into battle.

The Japanese army stationed in Mukden has 200 artillery pieces, of which 100 are light mountain guns and 100 are bulky field guns, these guns are deployed on two artillery positions respectively, and the Huaxia Army has used the Monkey King airship to detect them before, and this time the Japanese army intends to mobilize light mountain artillery.

The Japanese artillery is all horse-pulled, the Japanese army just pulled the horse, the gun carriage hung on the horse, was discovered by the Monkey King airship in the sky, in this battle, Lei Guang division commander ordered a Monkey King airship to take off, observe the movement of the Japanese army, when the Japanese artillery transferred, there were torches and bright lights everywhere, it was easy to be found by the Monkey King airship.

The Monkey King airship immediately reported to the division commander Lei Guang: "The Japanese artillery is moving!" ”

Division Commander Lei Guang immediately guessed that the Japanese artillery was going to be dispatched to support the infantry, and Division Commander Lei Guang immediately ordered all the Monkey King airships to be dispatched immediately to bombard the Japanese artillery positions.

Since the Battle of Mukden had become the focus of the entire war, Lin Fei ordered all the Monkey King airships to stop the strategic bombing of Japan (the effect of strategic bombing had weakened) and move to Jinzhou and the Liaohe area as tactical support weapons for the Fengtian Front, so all twenty Monkey King airships (four of which were the latest to enter service) rushed to the front line of the Liaohe River.

Division Commander Lei Guang ordered the Monkey King airship to dispatch, and the nineteen Monkey King airships immediately took off into the air and flew towards the Japanese artillery position, the deployment position of the Monkey King airship was very close to the Liao River, and it only took ten minutes to fly over the Liao River, so when the Monkey King airship flew to the artillery position, the Japanese artillery had just formed a formation and marched towards Tuanmen Village.

The Japanese artillerymen were all holding torches, and when they looked down from the sky, they were a moving fire dragon, so the Monkey King airship found them without much effort.

The Monkey King airships dropped aerial bombs one after another, blowing up the Japanese artillery to the point of crying wolves, crying fathers and mothers, and aerial bombs detonated the shells in the ammunition truck from time to time, killing more Japanese artillerymen.

The explosion also alarmed the horses pulling the cart, and the horses pulling the cart raised their hooves and galloped wildly, and I don't know how many Japanese artillerymen were trampled by the horses and broke their ribs and broken their spines by the artillery carts.

Under the blow of the Monkey King's airship, more than 60 mountain guns were blown up on the spot, all the pack horses were gone, and the artillery casualties were innumerable.

When the Monkey King airship launched an attack on the Japanese artillery, the 3rd Division of the ROK Army was still attacking the defensive line composed of the invading artillery and chariots, and the battle became more and more intense.

Under the desperate charge of the South Korean army, the 1st Armored Division felt that it could not be supported, because the South Korean army was too numerous, and the barrels and barrels of the plundered artillery chariots had to be stopped and cooled after being used for a period of time, so that the firepower would be interrupted, and the ROK army would take advantage of the weakness.

At the critical moment of the battle, the 1st Armored Division dropped the 3rd Regiment that had been serving as a reserve, and the 3rd Regiment, the 60 artillery chariots of the plundering Corps, rushed directly into the military formation of the ROK Army, and performed the "Rolling Miracle Skill", which caused the ROK Army to be thrown into a big mess and retreated in embarrassment.

At one o'clock in the morning of the next day, the more than 30,000 people of the Third Division of the ROK Army were basically exhausted, and the battlefield was full of corpses of South Koreans.

On the side of the Huaxia Army, there was little ammunition left for the 200 plundering artillery and chariots, and the small rubber boats and boats could not transport a large amount of ammunition to the invading artillery chariots after all.

At this time, the Monkey King airship in the sky suddenly sent a message: "A troop has approached Tuanmen Village, judging from the formation that unfolds, it seems that it is the Japanese army, not the Korean army, and the number is about 20,000." ”

It was not easy to deal with the easy Korean army, and now it was necessary to deal with the more fierce Japanese army, and the crew of each of the invading artillery chariots was sweating, and what was even more unfavorable to the Huaxia army was that because the Huaxia army and the Japanese army were too close, the Monkey King airship could not support them from the air.

At this moment, Division Commander Lei Guang suddenly made a decision to strengthen the ten LGS-1 anti-aircraft guns of the Air Defense Regiment directly under the Military Headquarters of the Mukden Front to the 1st Armored Division.

The LGS-1 anti-aircraft gun, a double-barreled antiaircraft gun, once shot down more than a dozen Japanese general-level airships in the Beijing air defense battle, and can be called the star weapon of the Huaxia Army.

The LGS-1 anti-aircraft gun is a kind of artillery, with a caliber of 30 mm, a double-barreled, a rate of fire of 100 pieces per minute, and all high-explosive grenades are fired, and the number of shell fragments in each shell is not less than 50.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese Fourth Division rushed to the position of Tuanmen Village, ten LGS-1 anti-aircraft guns lined up, preemptively opened the artillery, the high rate of fire shells were like a howling wind, sweeping towards the Japanese military formation, the penetration of anti-aircraft artillery shells is quite strong, almost every shell can hit from the front of the team all the way to the tail of the team, and then explode, just like that, a shell is almost in the formation of a bloody alley in the Japanese military formation.

The Japanese army had long been prepared for the shells and machine gun shells of the artillery and combat vehicles that had invaded the army, but they were not prepared for the LGS-1 anti-aircraft guns at all.

Time is the best friend of the Huaxia Army, as long as the Huaxia Army holds on long enough, the Huaxia Army's Zhouqiao troops will be able to erect pontoon bridges, and a large number of Huaxia Army and logistical supplies will be able to be transported across the Liaohe River, and the battle will be much easier to fight at that time.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the division commander Liao Jiulong Taro personally drew his command knife and took the lead in the charge, and other Japanese commanders persuaded him bitterly, but the division commander was unmoved, raised his command knife, and took the lead in rushing towards the Huaxia Army position.

The Japanese soldiers saw the division commander taking the lead in the front, each brave, everyone scrambled to be the first, stepped on the corpses of their companions under their feet, charged forward, LGS-1 anti-aircraft guns saw this and immediately opened fire, the invaded artillery vehicles and infantry also opened fire, a high-explosive grenade fired by an LGS-1 anti-aircraft gun hit the chest of the division commander Liao Jiulong Taro, and Liao Jiulong Taro was shattered.

The death of the division commander not only did not deter the Japanese soldiers, but made the Japanese soldiers even more crazy, and the Huaxia Army had to respond to them with more crazy firepower.

At this moment, suddenly a large number of Japanese shouts of killing came from the right flank of the Huaxia army's defense line, and when I looked closely, I saw a large group of Japanese soldiers rushing out of the woods on the right flank of the defense line, and rushed straight to the invading artillery chariots.

It turned out that while the main force was attacking the village, the Japanese army sent a small force to detour through the woods on the flank, where the large army could not walk, and directly killed the side of the plundering artillery chariots, each of which carried explosive bags and planned to die with the plundering artillery chariots.

At this time, it was too late for the plundering artillery chariot to turn its gun, and once the muzzle was turned, the Japanese troops in front would rush up, and the infantry protecting the invading artillery chariot saw this, and immediately rushed forward and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army with flesh and blood.
