Chapter 329: The Flesh Mill
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
On the artillery positions of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, six 75-mm field guns were pouring shells on the Japanese positions at the maximum rate of fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The shells next to the info gun emplacements are already piling up. The artillerymen were even more tired and sweaty. But even so, no one shouted that they were tired.
There is nothing safer than hiding behind a fierce front-line battlefield and destroying the enemy with shells. The artillerymen, although they were a little tired, were very happy at the thought that the shells they fired could tear Xiao Riben to pieces.
54 75-mm field guns, 36 105-mm light howitzers, 12 155-mm heavy howitzers of the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. The 1st artillery brigade's 72 155-mm heavy howitzers, which at the moment are performing such a task. They are using powerful firepower to destroy the Japanese troops on the east bank of the Wangbin River.
Because, the sandbar in the river has completely fallen into the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Therefore, in order to ensure that the defense line was not broken by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese army had to put more troops into the defense line. And these troops will also become the targets of the powerful artillery bombardment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
And this is the real plan of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, that is, to use powerful artillery fire to kill and injure the living forces of the Japanese army. Use cannonballs to exchange the life of Xiao Ri * Ben. This kind of deal is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
"Da Da Da!"
On the No. 5 sandbank in the Wangbin River, the machine-gun fire point of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was firing, strafing the Japanese positions dozens of meters away. Although the Japanese army was being ravaged by artillery fire, there were still some Japanese soldiers who poked their heads out from time to time. These Japanese soldiers became the targets of machine-gun fire of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
What's more, the artillery shelling cannot go on forever. Artillerymen are also people, and when they are tired, they also need to rest. Therefore, when the shelling stopped, it was necessary to rely on the infantry to rely on their own strength to press the Japanese troops on the other side of the river.
In such a tragic battlefield, snipers have become more active. They hid in the weeds of the river on the sandbar, and when they spotted their target, they shot and killed them with precision. It was precisely by relying on such an attack that the casualties of the Japanese army rose further.
"Boom!" A grenade flew out of the Japanese position and smashed straight into a machine-gun fire point of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The hastily constructed machine-gun fire point was blown up. However, the machine gun was not damaged, only the machine gunner was killed.
The secondary shooter then took the place of the machine gunner and continued to fire, suppressing the Japanese troops.
At the same time, the grenadiers and mortars of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also launched a return fire. Constantly smashing artillery shells and grenades into the Japanese position, the Japanese troops on the position paid a heavy price.
The two sides were separated by a distance of several tens of meters, and launched a confrontation. It's just that it is often the Japanese army that is overwhelmed by the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and the powerful firepower can't raise its head. In addition, under the powerful fire attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the losses were heavy, and further support had to be called.
"Buzz!"
There was a buzzing sound in the sky, like wild bees flying. However, the faces of the Japanese officers and soldiers on the ground have changed drastically. They all knew very well that this voice meant that the plane of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was coming again.
The fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force will inflict great losses on the Japanese army every time they visit.
In the sky, 12 P-51B fighters, covering 24 B-25 medium bombers and 12 B-24 heavy bombers, appeared on the battlefield. The anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army on the ground had long been lost in the previous frantic shelling. Therefore, in the face of the bombing of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they could only passively bear it.
"Start dropping bombs and blow up those doggy little devils." The officer in charge of the bombing mission gave the order for the shelling.
The magazine opened, and bombs began to be dropped.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
The tail of the bomb pierced the air and emitted a high-pitched, piercing whistling. The Japanese officers and soldiers on the ground looked in horror at the bombers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army that dropped bombs in the sky.
Each B-25 medium bomber wrote about six 500-pound aerial bombs, and each B-24 heavy bomber carried 24 500-pound bombs.
A total of 432 500-pound aerial bombs exploded on the Japanese positions, leaving huge craters one after another.
It can be said that the position of the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army has been blown up with holes. There were huge craters everywhere, stumps and broken arms, and even more scattered everywhere.
In particular, the Japanese troops who were affected by the bombs suffered heavy losses. Several Japanese fortifications were completely destroyed, with casualties and heavy losses.
Even the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army has just been supplemented by two brigades. However, under such a strong blow from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, it soon suffered heavy losses again, and had to ask the division headquarters for help again.
"Your Excellency, the 1st and 2nd Brigades, as well as the reinforcements from the 37th and 61st Wings, have lost more than seventy percent. The firepower of the people of China is still very fierce, and if there is no other way, our defense line may not last long. A staff officer reported.
Morita Haruji's face was already gloomy, as if he could drip water. In the face of the strong firepower of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they could do nothing but fill it with human lives. However, this kind of consumption is simply not something they can sustain.
"Damn, this is clearly a conspiracy of the Zhina people! Our line of defense has become a flesh mill. The people of China are using powerful artillery fire to devour our living force little by little! Morita Haruji Osaku said with a pale face.
"So, Your Excellency Captain, what are we going to do?" The staff officer asked.
"We simply don't have any other way, and if the line is breached, we will lose very quickly. Report to the division commander, we need new reinforcements. Otherwise, we won't be able to make it tomorrow. Morita Haruji Osaku ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The staff officer nodded.
Lieutenant General Sekihara 6, commander of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, was also very helpless at the moment. Even if he knew, Morita Haruji's analysis was correct. But there was no other way for him either. After all, they could not afford to have the defensive line broken through by the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Therefore, it is only possible to hold the line of defense as much as possible without being breached. For this reason, they can only put their vital forces into the flesh mill carefully set up by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and watch them being crushed little by little.
