Chapter 278: Heavenly Fire
The reason why Tani Shofu decided on the tactic of exchanging men for guns and tanks was completely inspired by the night attack tactics of the air force defined by Yamada, believing that fighters fighting at night would be greatly affected by fighters and bombers would be less affected, which could just offset the air superiority of the cadet army. So he decided to take Fuding with one blow.
He clearly overestimated the strength of those aviation units of the 11th Aviation Regiment.
In night air battles, fighters were really much more affected than bombers. Bombers are guided by flares fired by ground forces, and can also find targets when bombing enemy artillery. It's just that who would have thought that Liu Yuqing would say that the artillery was divided into two parts, and that he would let the Li Hai regiment, which was not too much of a threat to the Japanese attacking forces, take the lead in firing?
At the request of Tani Shofu, the 11th Air Regiment dispatched a total of two groups of bombers to participate in the battle, one of which was to go to the Chang Zhilin regiment, and the other was to go to three artillery regiments. First of all, the bomber brigade that bombed Chang Zhilin was not to mention, the brigade that was hovering in the air and did not wait for the artillery of the Cadet Army to appear, was first shot down by Wang Hai and them, and another one fell directly down the mountains because of improper control. Two more collided with their own fighter jets, which exploded in the air and turned into fireworks and disintegrated; One of his fighters destroyed his left flank, and he spun headlong into the mountains and smashed into pieces.
Before the artillery of the Cadet Army appeared, five of the twelve bombers were lost, and the remaining seven devil aviation units could not remain calm. As a result, Lehi's regiment launched an artillery bombardment, and the devil aviation, which thought it was the target, sped over. In the process, Wang Hai and his troops intercepted and pursued and shot down two planes, and only five planes completed the bomb dropping. And because there was not much fuel left, and the bombs had to be hurried to drop in a hurry, these five fighters just hurriedly dropped bombs, so the bombing effect was really unsatisfactory, and they were completely unable to bomb up as Gu Shoufu expected. What made Gu Shoufu completely desperate was that the fire cloud generated by the bombing only rose, and the 403rd and 406th regiments began to fire artillery.
The distance was really close, but the number of artillery pieces was twice that of Le's regiment, and the foaming speed was more than three times, and in an instant, hundreds of fireballs roared and smashed into the Japanese charging ranks. A 150-millimeter heavy shell, not to mention the flesh and blood of the little devils, even the "mandrills" can't withstand this kind of shelling! However, fortunately, Feng Minghai saw the opportunity quickly and immediately closed the top cover, and they were only a few meters away from the first trench, so although they were hit by fragments of shells, fortunately, no shells directly hit 409, so they were extremely lucky to escape this catastrophe.
One gorgeous fireball after another rose into the air, and in the explosion sound of "boom", the devils within twenty or thirty meters of the explosion point seemed to be stuffed into a meat grinder, and a complete person went in, and when he came out, he became a stump and a broken leg, and he was directly torn apart in the center of the explosion, and there was not much bone residue left.
A moment ago, Gu Shoufu was still expecting the aviation of the 11th Air Regiment to destroy the artillery of the Cadet Corps in one fell swoop, but now he knew that tonight, he had no chance. After scolding the "eight grids", the old devil gave the order to retreat with a hideous face, and then went down to the city wall without looking back and sat in his command car.
Outside the command vehicle, the staff officers of the 6th Division Headquarters were in a mess, and the shouts of "retreat" and the sound of footsteps were endless, but they could no longer save the fate of the more than 10,000 devils on the front-line battlefield.
Under the unified command of Ma Chun, more than 30 artillery pieces of the 403rd and 406th regiments kept spitting flames, and the muzzles of each two guns were slightly raised.
Inside the trench, Fan Neng had already dragged the glorious bullet in the palm of his hand, but at this time, he saw an endless stream of fireballs passing over the trench, and in a moment, there was an earth-shattering explosion not far away. He smiled innocently and muttered to himself: "Ge Laozi, Ma Chun, this turtle son, he will choose the time!" ”
Fan Neng has no way to cheer and shout, and there is no way to shoot hard, so he behaves so reservedly. In stark contrast to him were several cadets around him. At this time, the 401st and 402nd regiments together were less than one battalion, which also included at least one platoon of seriously wounded. Everyone already had the consciousness of dying in battle, but they didn't expect that the situation on the battlefield would be reversed in an instant.
"Our cannons!"
"Lao Tzu, our artillery!"
…… A platoon commander named Geng San had fallen into a state of madness at this time, and he yelled: "Brothers! Come on! "I stabbed a devil in front of me, and climbed up the trench with a gun, which means that I am ready to launch a counterattack. Wang Hai happened to be beside him, and he didn't know where he got the strength after being stabbed in the abdomen, grabbed his feet and pulled him to the ground, and then went up with two big ear scrapers, and yelled: "Your baby is looking for death?!" Didn't hear in **?! ”
The two ear scrapers were quite heavy, Geng San was pumped a lot more sober, this kid could still distinguish between himself and the enemy, raised his gun and suddenly killed a devil who tried to rush into the trench in front of the right, and then said to Wang Hai: "I heard **, isn't ** going to counterattack?" ”
Wang Hai had used up the little strength he had just accumulated in the two strokes just now, and he lay on the body of a ghost soldier and scolded: "Ge Laozi, Lao Tzu has no strength!" ”
"Da Da Da," a gunshot rang out, and Wang Hai's guards killed two devils who also wanted to jump into the trench, and said to Geng San: "Platoon Commander Geng, our task is to defend, do you understand?" ”
"Oh!" Geng San seems to understand whether he understands or not.
Liu Yuqing asked the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment to get close to the frontline position and then open fire, for fear of bombing his own people by mistake. Still, the bombing happened by mistake. Zhang Zhengxi's machine gun company was too protruding, so a tragic scene happened. There were nearly fifty people in a company, and less than ten died at the hands of the devils, but nearly twenty were killed by their own people. The explosion point was so close to them that they instinctively wanted to withdraw to the trenches, only to stand up before a dozen people were shot by shrapnel. And if it weren't for Zhang Zhengxi's quick reaction and immediately ordered everyone to lie down on the spot, their casualties would have been even greater.
The shells moved towards Cangnan County little by little, Zhang Zhengxi got up and ran to a few comrades who were blown to the ground, reached out to probe their snorts and touched their heartbeats, and found that they had stopped breathing, this iron-like man sat on the ground and cried bitterly, and choked up after a while: "I didn't die in the hands of the devil, but I was killed by my own people!" Brothers, complain! ”
Neither Dai Rao nor Ding Renhe saw this scene, they were completely stunned by the scene reflected in the artillery fire. After the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment joined the artillery attack, no flares rose over the position. Both of them knew that there were a lot of little devils, but they didn't expect it to be so much. A fireball exploded, not to mention the ones that were torn to pieces, no less than twenty or thirty of them were thrown into the sky by Qi Lang alone. And what is the scene of a large fireball exploding?
It's raining. Yes, hundreds of devils were swept away, wails and exclamations erupted, and then there was the sound of "let-da".
(Old poison: Which brother is so anxious, the outbreak must be saved, and it must be revised, so it can't be all sent at once)
