"Huh?!"

Seeing the two Japanese soldiers being torn apart by the air wave generated by the explosion of the shell, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, several shells dragged the dazzling tracer over the fortress hill and fell into the Japanese army's charging queue, accompanied by continuous violent explosions, the Japanese troops who were burying their heads in the charge were suddenly blown up, in fact, there were very few Japanese soldiers who were really killed by the shells, but the psychological shock to the Japanese soldiers was huge.

How did the national army suddenly have artillery, and what is the situation?

The remnants of the 61st Division, who were waiting in the trenches to charge to the death, also looked at each other, this shell flew from the side of Fortress Mountain, could it be that the Japanese warships off the coast of Wusong were firing artillery? But this is not right, how could a Japanese warship hit a shell into the charging queue of its own people? Also, it seems that the caliber of the Japanese naval guns is more than that.

Only Xu 19 vaguely guessed that this was most likely the 8th Army in Pudong giving artillery support.

Although Xu 19 didn't know very well why the artillery of the 8th Group Army in Pudong was so accurate, and several shells in a row fell into the Japanese army's charging queue as if they had long eyes, but one thing Xu 19 was very clear, that is, the artillery support that the 8th Army could give was absolutely limited, and it could only deter the Japanese army for a while.

When the first shell from the east side of the battery fell and exploded, Ozhara Shaosa on the opposite side also immediately realized that something was wrong, just looking at the trajectory of the shell in the night sky and the movement of the explosion, Ohara Shigemi knew that this was definitely not a naval gun, and the naval gun would never shell Taiwan at this time.

This is not the naval artillery of the Navy, then it can only be the artillery of the Chinese army!

Captain Fujimoto, who was standing beside Ohara Shigemi, also changed his face in an instant, and said in a low voice: "Captain, this is the artillery of the Shina people, and it has at least four mountain guns, which is equivalent to an artillery squadron, according to the practice of the Shina army, at least infantry units above the brigade level are needed to be equipped with artillery squadrons in the field." ”

The implication of Captain Fujimoto's words is that reinforcements from the Chinese army have arrived, and at least one brigade!

"Ba Ge Yalu, the reinforcements of the Chinese army are coming so quickly!" Although Ohara Shigemi was still a little suspicious, he didn't dare to take risks, and immediately ordered Captain Fujimoto, "Order, Murayama Squadron immediately retreat, Maehara Squadron builds fortifications on the spot and prepares to hold on, and the artillery squadron intensifies the search for Shina artillery and implements artillery countermeasures!" ”

"Hello!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly bowed his head and took the order.

At the top of the fort mountain, Liu Genshuo was holding a telescope to observe the Japanese troops under the mountain.

Seeing that the Japanese troops in both directions were shrinking and retreating in unison, Liu Genshuo pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Little devil of dog day, I only remembered to run away at this time, don't you think it's a little late?" ”

After that, Liu Genshuo raised a bundle of ribbons to measure the wind speed and direction, and then grabbed the microphone and shouted: "The wind speed is two meters, the wind direction is southeast, the angle of fire is correct, the impact point extends forward fifty meters, ten rapid shots, kill the little Japan of the dog day!" ”

A few seconds later, rows of Bufus shells whistled from Pudong with dazzling tracer light, and then chased the heels of the Japanese soldiers as if they had long eyes, and then there were continuous violent explosions, and the Japanese troops who were withdrawing from the Empress Cang were suddenly blown to pieces, and the bushido spirit of little Japan had no effect in the face of artillery fire.

Through the binoculars, Liu Genshuo saw that the Japanese army was blown to pieces, and from time to time the Japanese army was torn apart by the air waves generated by the explosion, he couldn't help but hahadaxiao, laughing and roaring in a low voice with a hideous expression: "Little devil of dog day, let you go to the ground in China to spread wild, and let you see the power of the Pudong God Cannon today, hehe." ”

##########

On the main position at the foot of the battery hill, the remnants of the 61st Division were already cheering.

There is no artillery and there is no artillery, but under the threat of artillery, the offensive of small Japan collapsed at once.

People who have not been a soldier or have not been shelled by the enemy are difficult to understand the mood of the remnants of the 61st Division at this moment, which is similar to the Chinese fishermen who have had enough of being bullied by the coast guard of other countries in later generations, and finally one day on the sea.

"Dog's day, let you run rampant, haha."

"Well done, good artillery brothers, beat the dogs!"

"Fuck and fuck these little devils to death!"

"Little Japan, I'll fuck your eighteenth generation ancestor, go back to Dongying Island!"

The remnants of the soldiers were thunderous with joy, only Xu Shijiu always remained calm, and when he saw that the artillery fire of the 8th Army began to extend towards the deep position of the Japanese army, he suddenly stood up from the trench and shouted: "Quick, hurry up and collect the ammunition of the Japanese army, whether it is the 38 big cover or the melon grenade, all of them, hurry!" ”

The Nationalist Army generally did not collect Japanese weapons because of the different calibres of firearms on both sides.

However, the situation is stronger than people, the ammunition of the remnants of the 61st Division has been exhausted, if you don't collect the weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese army on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will not be able to support even a quarter of an hour.

"Quick, hurry up!" Xu Shijiu kept urging the remnants of the 61st Division, because he knew that the artillery support of the 8th Army would definitely not last long, and the Japanese commanders on the opposite side would react quickly, leaving them not too much time to collect Japanese ammunition, so they had to hurry.

##########

Xu Shijiu's worries were absolutely right.

When the artillery spotter came to report that the artillery of the Chinese army was far away on the east bank of the Huangpu River, Shigemi Ohara knew that he was too worried, and the reinforcements of the Chinese army had not yet arrived, but only a small group of Chinese artillery was giving support to friendly artillery.

As long as Chinese reinforcements arrived, the situation was still under the control of the Japanese army.

However, Ohara Shigemi was still a little surprised, because the Chinese artillery was too accurate!

Whether it was the ten rapid fire of Fang Cai's pursuit of the Murayama squadron, or the current extended shelling of the Japanese beachhead, the accuracy of the Chinese artillery was simply shocking, and in the eyes of Ohara Kurami, even the best heavy artillery brigades in the empire could not perform better than the Chinese artillery on the other side.

Another volley of shells landed on the beachhead and almost detonated the ammunition depot!

Looking at the orderly soldiers of the brigade headquarters scrambling to move the ammunition stacked in the open air into the underground bunker, the deputy captain Captain Fujimoto couldn't help muttering: "Captain, it's not safe here, you better hurry into the underground bunker, right?" The artillery of the people of China is like having eyes, and it is too accurate! ”

Eye? Chinese artillerymen have eyes ?! Ohara Shigemi suddenly felt a slight movement in her heart.

Then Ohara Shigemi turned around slightly, and her cold gaze fell on Fort Hill.

Shigemi Ohara studied the infantry department at Lu Shi and the command department at Lu University, but as a brigade commander, he must have enough knowledge of artillery, and the direct aim of the flat-fire guns should be put aside, and the accuracy of the long-range curved guns is inseparable from the accurate shooting provided by the forward observation posts.

For example, the Japanese Navy's naval artillery salvo can basically only be fired blindly if there is no observation of the hot air balloon's lift-off guidance.

If the Chinese artillery has eyes, then these eyes are its forward observation post, and this forward observation post must be on Fortress Hill, because only by standing on Fortress Hill can you have a clear view of the Japanese army's beachhead and the attack line of the Murayama squadron just now, yes, it must be like this.

In the dark, it was too difficult to locate and destroy the Chinese artillery in Pudong, but it was not difficult to find the forward observation post on Fortress Hill.

"Command." Shigemi Ohara raised her right hand and said coldly, "Artillery fires flares!" ”

"Hello!" Captain Fujimoto suddenly bowed his head, turned his head and yelled, "Artillery squadron, fire flares!" ”

With two piercing screams, two flares rose rapidly into the air and fell, and the strong light emitted by the mixed combustion of magnesium powder and aluminum powder instantly illuminated the entire artillery platform as bright as day, and Ohara Shigemi raised his binoculars to look at the fortress mountain, and soon found several suspicious targets, among which the forward observation post of the Chinese artillery must have been.

"Yo-shei, yo-shei." Owara Shigemi smiled again and again, put down the binoculars and instructed Captain Fujimoto, "Order, the artillery squadron immediately carries out a fire attack on Battery Hill, and then requests naval support." ”

"Hello!" Captain Fujimoto bowed his head abruptly and hurriedly took the order.

##########

As soon as the Japanese flare was lifted into the air, Liu Genshuo knew that his observation post had been discovered by the Japanese army, and the ensuing Japanese fire attack confirmed this point, but Liu Genshuo was not surprised, let alone immediately transferred, because the Japanese army also exposed its own artillery position while trying to destroy his observation post.

It's like two swordsmen making a move, one of them is in danger of being blinded by his opponent, but he accidentally captures the opportunity to kill with one blow, and chooses to give up in order to save his eye? Or do you sacrifice your eyes for the sake of a sword to seal your throat? Yoo Geun Suk did not hesitate to choose the latter, and he had to kill the Japanese artillery on the opposite side no matter what!

Because Liu Genshuo knew very well that although the Japanese navy's naval guns had a super-large caliber and super lethality, they could not reach the back of Fortress Hill at all due to their ballistics, but they were not as threatening as the Japanese infantry artillery on the opposite side, and if the infantry artillery of the Japanese army on the opposite side could be killed, it would undoubtedly greatly relieve the pressure on the defenders of the artillery Taiwan.

One after another Japanese artillery shells smashed the entire top of the fortress hill into smoke and dust, and the fire salvo of the Japanese naval guns from the sea off Wusong even smashed the entire front of the fortress hill to the ground, and Liu Genshuo could even clearly feel that even the ground under his feet was trembling violently, and the fortress hill was like a scene of the end of the world.

Liu Genshuo was unmoved, just stretched out his right thumb in front of him, first closed his left eye, and then closed his right eye, silently estimating the distance of the Japanese artillery position.

For experienced veterans, the error of target observation within one kilometer rarely exceeds 50 meters, and top artillerymen like Liu Genshuo can control the error within 20 meters.
