In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of blessings. And the so-called lucky general should mean the same thing as going out to step on dog shit - always wearing the hat of luck on the top of his head.

In the battle that took place in the Fuding and Cangnan areas in the Chinese New Year's Eve of 1939, Ma Chun was undoubtedly Liu Yuqing's lucky general—if Ueda Qinye had bombarded Li Hai's artillery regiment first, the result would have been completely different. Compared with the old towed guns, self-propelled guns have three major advantages: rate of fire, mobility, and protection capabilities. The self-propelled guns of the Cadet Corps all use the chassis of the old relaying tank, which has a strong ability to protect the territory of this self-propelled tracked structure, and its ability to pass through complex terrain is very good; And its superstructure, although the armor thickness has been reduced due to the need for combat flexibility, is much thicker than the Japanese Type 97 Chilo medium tank. These have undoubtedly greatly enhanced its battlefield survivability. The reality is that unless a heavy shell hits the body directly, there is no possibility of being destroyed by a single shot.

Eighty-four 120-mm and 150-mm guns opened fire at the same time, and the sound was terrifying, but the result was really unsatisfactory. The sound of "aggressive" shells breaking through the air, followed by a rumbling explosion, the 6th Brigade of the howitzer fired three rounds in succession, and nearly 300 shells flew towards the position of the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment of the River, and one fireball after another rose into the air, instantly reflecting the sky in the area where the Liang Wenhui Regiment of the Machun Regiment was located. In the rumbling explosion, two artillery pieces under Ma Chun's command were directly hit, and one of the turrets was shot and exploded and burned, becoming the only one completely destroyed. The other one was shot in the front armor, and although it also lost its combat ability, the cadets inside were only slightly injured.

The sudden shelling startled Ma Chun, but that was all. Whether it is him or Liu Yuqing, they all know that the Japanese army has two brigades of artillery. Therefore, when it was decided to counterattack, they were prepared for retaliatory shelling by the Japanese army.

"Lao Ma, the little devil's hidden artillery has appeared, let's fight!" Liang Wenhui, the commander of the 406th regiment, shouted to him through a walkie-talkie.

Ma Chun did not talk nonsense, and decisively ordered: "Fight"

The order to transfer positions was withdrawn, and the order to counterattack was communicated. At that time, all the gun carriages had not yet retracted the rear support legs. So, under the operation of the main gunner, the tooth-aching gear bite sounded, and the turrets of more than thirty guns were slightly deflected to the left. Almost at the same time, the engine of the gun carriage became unusually high-pitched, the cylinder motor started, and the barrel began to rise by a scale or two amid the "humming" sound of pumping. Then, the two guns controlled by Ma Chun and Liang Wenhui were the first to fire, and each tested a shot.

It was slow to write, and in fact, it was only a matter of a few tens of seconds, and the student army launched a counterattack.

The counterattack of the Xuebing Army came so quickly, and the accuracy of the head was something that Ueda Qinye did not expect. If Ma Chun is a lucky general, then Ueda is undoubtedly the ubiquitous and declining person who can always bring out the heroic. The Nafa shell that Ma Haru tested flew with flames and flew directly, and actually hit a 150 mm howitzer on Ueda's right hand. A brilliant mushroom cloud exploded in the night, another, and then one after another; "Boom" explosions sounded, once, twice, and at the end of the day. The explosion caused the shell pile behind the gun to detonate. The sound of an explosion sounded, and even though Ueda's men reacted quickly and fearlessly, three or four people crushed him under him, but the aura generated by the massive explosion that was close at hand was too violent. Without exception, those devils and the military police and staff officers standing around them were first shot into a funnel of human blood by shrapnel all over the sky, and then they were rushed out by Qi Lang and collectively became human kites. The explosion was so loud that Ueda was almost stunned when he was crushed to the ground by his men. Ignorant and shocked, he was stabbed by dozens of shrapnel, and was pushed a distance of more than ten meters along with the dirt lifted by the center of the explosion, until he died, his eyes were still wide as if he was dead.

If the counterattack of the 6th Brigade of howitzers was a storm, then the counterattack of the 403rd and 406th regiments and the Lehi regiment was a thunderous fury. There was no room for a moment of hesitation on the battlefield, and to make a difference, Lang spent six precious minutes because of his indecision. Japan's so-called new howitzer, that is, the range and accuracy have been improved, and its protection ability is no different from the old artillery, if so, although it immediately issued the order to open the artillery, but because of the destruction of the independent 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade and had to face the thunderous anger of the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment alone, the quality of the artillery of the two sides became more and more important.

The low, mountainous and hilly terrain of the coastal border area of Fujian and Zhejiang is not conducive to the traction of towed artillery. Therefore, whether it is the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade or the 6th Howitzer Brigade, the density of artillery layout is relatively dense, which is equivalent to reducing the technical requirements for the artillery of the Cadet Army. Well, it is said that it is artillery shooting, but its true embodiment is a one-sided slaughter.

Most of the eighty-four guns had only time to fire three shells, and then they were blown to pieces or blown away, losing the ability to continue fighting.

The Li Hai Regiment joined the battlefield about two minutes later than the Ma Chun Regiment and Liang Wenhui Regiment, and with their addition, the sound that the 6th Howitzer Brigade was able to make was inaudible.

Among the senior commanders of the South China Front, Matsui Ishine, the division commander of the 6th Division, Tani Toshio, the 9th Division, Okuichiro, and the 13th Division, Kawabe Shozo, had many combat experiences with the Cadet Army, so they were particularly taboo about the artillery and chariot units of the Cadet Army, and therefore paid special attention to the restraint of the two arms of the Cadet Army. This is also the reason why he was willing to use the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade as bait to lure out the artillery of the Cadet Corps. Matsui Ishine was well acquainted with the orientation of his two artillery positions, and when an explosion first sounded on the artillery position of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, he was surprised by the speed of the reaction of the cadet army, but he was not surprised. In artillery battles, it is too important to master the first move. Under normal circumstances, as long as the first three rounds of artillery can be fired, then in the case of a small difference in the number of artillery, the first hand can lay the victory in one fell swoop. This was the second reason why he was willing to use the 6th Separate Heavy Artillery Brigade as a decoy.

After a minute, his face changed, and he muttered, "What's going on?!" He stood up and walked towards the door. Walking out of the headquarters, he looked in the direction of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, and his face changed dramatically. Listening to the sound, he felt that something was wrong, but the so-called seeing is believing, and seeing one mushroom cloud after another rising, he knew that the 6th Howitzer Brigade was finished. Slowly turned around, looked in the direction of the incoming cannonballs, and saw the northwest sky, with the endless fireballs rising and emitting red light, his heart fell into the ice cellar with a "poof", and he couldn't help but scold: "Eight Ge Yalu!" Ueda Qinno, this bastard! "I can't stay calm anymore.

Chinese New Year's Eve, no month. And I don't know if Lu Dao also hates war, and there are not many stars. In the dark night sky, the flight trajectory of the cannonballs was particularly eye-catching, and even beautiful and magnificent, but in Matsui Ishone's eyes, the fireballs that swept by like meteors were like blades across his heart, making him feel pain and making it difficult for him to breathe. Five minutes passed, and he drooped his head in a dejected manner, stumbling and almost falling to the ground.

After being in the army, I can get accurate judgments through observation. Although he was extremely unwilling, although he was angry, a trace of clarity in his brain poked his reason like ice, and repeatedly told him: Ueda Qinye's artillery brigade has been completely finished, finished, finished-Matsui Shigen's heart was not good, seeing him suddenly like this, a group of staff officers under his command were startled, and shouted in their mouths: "Your Excellency! "Your Excellency, Commander!" They poured up.

Matsui Ishone roared: "Get out!" Then he staggered into the command headquarters, picked up the phone and called Gu Shoufu in front: "Suspend the attack!" After saying these words, without waiting for Gu Shoufu's answer, he dropped the phone heavily, propped his hands on the table and shouted: "Call Yamada and ask him to immediately dispatch bombers to attack the artillery of the Chinese people!" Tell him to destroy the artillery of the people of China at all costs! ”

All the staff officers were frightened by him, and everyone looked depressed, trembling "Haiyi", and ran to their jobs with small steps.

Matsui Shigen worked hard to calculate, and wanted to hit the eagle, but he was pecked in the eye by the eagle, which is not counted, and he also lost two fat and tender chickens. On his side, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood because of the destruction of his two heavy artillery brigades, and over there, his opponent Liu Yuqing stood at the door of the front-line headquarters, watching those brilliant fireballs fly towards the enemy artillery position, and then set off 2 fireworks in that compartment, the corners of his eyebrows opened and his lips pursed, and a smile quietly appeared on his face.

This result was unexpected by Liu Yuqing. And the more this happened, the more excited and happy he became.

"That's the power of technology!" He thought in his heart, holding his hands hard, he only felt that life was so beautiful, and how lucky he was!

Since its formation, the Sichuan army has been the weakest of the various factional armies in the country. This weakness is not because of the Sichuan people themselves, but because the Sichuan people are too poor. At that time, if you can have a 75-mm mountain gun, you will wake up with a smile in your dreams, and then look at the present, your own division alone has 36 self-propelled heavy guns, as well as two regiments of combat vehicles. And it is precisely because of these high-end weapons that he can rely on the strength of two divisions to carry more than three divisions of the Japanese army, how can Liu Yuqing maintain his reserve?

The beggar army will eventually have a day when they will raise their eyebrows!
