Section 89 Artillery Offensive

Ou Zhanpeng has obviously integrated into the role of the commander of the artillery company, and now all his thoughts are on the soldiers and shells under him, and now when he hears Liu Wenfeng's words, he can't help but be very happy. However, now they have a chance to prove themselves, with the addition of two 75mm mountain guns, plus several anti-tank guns captured in Ayutthaya, the artillery company is worthy of this title in terms of establishment and strength.

It seems that Ou Zhanpeng also told the soldiers of the artillery company about the situation here, in a short period of time, a large group of high-spirited artillery company soldiers pushed two mountain guns to the front line, the baffle in front of the mountain artillery was obviously repainted, although the whole looks quite bright, but if you look closely, there are still some potholes, this is still the situation of extremely poor vision at the moment, if it is in the daytime, I am afraid it will be even worse. Think about it, the things pulled out of the 51st Division's treasury can be kept as they are, it's already very good, and the things that are easy to use, who is willing to throw them away?

But these two cannons were in the hands of the artillery company, and the soldiers were so precious that they cherished the abnormality. Soon, the officers and men of the two squads scattered and busy, fixing the gun mounts on one side and observing the enemy positions in front of them on the other. Unfortunately, it was already night, and I could only vaguely see the outline of the mountains in front of me, and if it weren't for the moon hanging in the sky, the situation would be even more troublesome.

Seeing that these soldiers were busy, Shi and the others were also quite curious to stand aside and watch, they didn't understand this aspect, so naturally they didn't have any right to speak. However, in the past few years, they have been bombed by the devil's aircraft and artillery, and they know the amazing power of artillery, which is also the reason why Lin Xiufeng and Wu Zihuai went to the 51st Division and fell in love with this thing at a glance. Fortunately, the independent regiment finally has its own artillery unit, which finally makes them feel a sense of pride.

After waiting for about a pillar of incense, when everyone began to be a little impatient, Ou Zhanpeng finally said excitedly: "Tuanza, the two cannons are ready." ”

Shi replied calmly: "Then let's start, first bombard with artillery for a while, and when the devils are scared, the infantry will go up again." ”

Li Wenguang, who was on the side, couldn't help but shout excitedly when he heard this: "Damn, it's been a few years since the devil's shells were blown up, and today I can finally let the little devils taste the power of our artillery." Big bird, you're welcome, you're running out of shells, you must have a blast and relieve the brethren. ”

Ou Zhanpeng couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the battalion commander's nickname, but he had always been relatively calm and didn't talk much, so he directly chose to ignore it at this time, turned around and gave the order to fire at the brothers in the artillery company.

"Boom" Two dazzling fires appeared in front of everyone, and the huge momentum of the cannonballs when they fired made them instinctively dodge to the side. However, the astonishing momentum still made their hearts palpitate, and their ears were almost deafened to watch the artillery fire so closely. However, then they saw the cannonballs explode in front of Hengling, and a huge flame of light rose into the sky, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.

Everyone forgot about the embarrassment just now, and couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers in vain. "Good" "Okay, boom. "Damn, let's have a few more cannons, and let the little devils eat the cannons......"

Only Ou Zhanpeng glared at those artillerymen with an iron face, and scolded hatefully: "Why is it so far away? ”

Xiao Shandong also shouted at this time: "If you don't hit, don't say it if you don't hit accurately, one of the two shells is a dud, so you can't hit." ”

A second lieutenant platoon commander couldn't help but blush and said, "Sir, it's too dark, and the distance is not accurate." ”

Without waiting for them to speak, Shi Shi chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, no one is born with accuracy, sharpshooters and sharpshooters, not all of them are fed by bullets and shells, don't worry about fighting boldly, it should be regarded as training, after shooting these shells, you should be familiar with these two guns, and this mission will be completed." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!" When the platoon commander heard Shi say this, he couldn't help but be moved. Immediately, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists vigorously, and shouted loudly to the brothers on the side: "Recalibrate the shooting parameters, don't worry, give me the right calculation before fighting." ”

The second round of shelling did not make everyone wait for long, and as the second lieutenant platoon commander shouted angrily: "Open the artillery", everyone was shocked by the loud sound of the artillery firing and took two steps back. Fortunately, with the previous experience, this time their psychological endurance was significantly stronger, and most of their energy was put into the distant mountains.

"Boom...... Boom ......" two violent explosions came, the mountain towards their side, immediately rose a dazzling light, although there was still a long distance, but at the moment of the explosion of the shells, they still vaguely saw the situation over there, on the sparsely wooded mountain, a lonely pavilion stood on the top of the mountain, under the bombardment of the shells, crumbling, just like the Japanese troops stationed on the mountain, in danger. Perhaps because of the previous shell in front, the artillerymen had corrected parameters, and their round of fire was very accurate and accurately hit the ridge. However, because they did not know the specific deployment of the Japanese army, it is unknown whether the shells hit the devil's defense line. Through this round of shooting, the artillerymen also increased their confidence, at least judging from the current situation, their shooting is still very accurate, although they can't point where to hit, but at least they can hit within a range.

The artillerymen, who had greatly increased their confidence, then launched an attack in turn, and the shells were fired one after another, and the mountains of Hengling suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Zhidu Shu shrank behind the gazebo, listening to the "creaking" trembling sound of the gazebo, and his heart sank to the bottom. The strong strength of the enemy army in front of him made him feel a kind of numbness in his scalp, and the enemy's cavalry had already surprised him, as far as he knew, except for the most elite troops of the Central Army of the Chinese Army, there was no cavalry establishment at all. And the enemy army in front of him, in addition to the formed cavalry, actually has artillery! Listening to the whistling of shells in all directions, and listening to the painful screams of his soldiers being hit by shrapnel, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate. The wing commander's order was to let them hold at least until dawn tomorrow to cover the withdrawal of the division's southern front troops, but he had no bottom in his heart, and he felt that if he continued to fight like this, he might not be able to hold on for even an hour.

Hengling, as mentioned before, was just a few dirt slopes above the flat ground, and they hastily withdrew, not even building a position, originally he expected to rely on the sharpness of the machine gun to block the enemy's attack, and rely on the strength of his soldiers to stop the other party's pursuit. However, his wish disappeared completely after the first enemy shell fell, along with his self-confidence, and to face the enemy artillery in such a place where there was no support, not even a trench, was completely sending him to death. Not to mention being hit by a shell, even the shock wave formed after the explosion of the shell can also shatter the internal organs of the soldiers, making them die in pain in wailing and screaming.

Zhidushu had never fought this kind of battle, and he was not willing to fight such a battle, and he had not figured out which army was the enemy army in front of him until now. This is what is most feared in a war, and it is the most dangerous when you do not know the enemy.

"Your Excellency, the artillery of the Chinese has stopped, and their infantry is about to attack." There was a staff officer's voice on the side, and Zhidushu could hear that his voice trembled slightly, but he didn't have the heart to care about these anymore, and he didn't have any confidence, so how could he blame his subordinates?

"Tsugi-kun, tell the second squadron in front of you to shoot as soon as you find the enemy approaching. The enemy in front of him is very capable of hand-to-hand combat, and he must not carelessly let the enemy break into the position. There are still several hours before dawn, and we need to stall. Naodu Shu said with a gloomy face.

The staff officer, known as Tsukigi, answered the call, and immediately jumped out from behind the bluestone, and quickly rushed towards the forefront of the mountain, where there was their first line of defense, and the second squadron was stationed on some field stalks, hoping to block the enemy's advance.

At this moment, they suddenly saw a piece of fire lit up in the distance, like countless fireflies, and the stars echoed with the stars in the sky, which was particularly beautiful. However, this situation fell in Zhidushu's eyes, but it made his pupils shrink, and he was experienced, and he obviously understood what was going on in an instant. Immediately, there was a sharp whistling sound in his ears, and before anyone could react, suddenly there was a dense explosion like raindrops, and the whole mountain seemed to be unable to withstand such a blow and trembled.

There were at least dozens of dense explosions, although the momentum of a single explosion was far less violent than before, but the victory was amazingly numerous, the range was wide, and almost every corner of the mountain range was enveloped in it, this amazing offensive immediately made the Japanese troops on the front line of the Hengshan Ridge feel desperate, and they already felt a little difficult to parry the endless attack methods of the enemy in front of them.

If it were normal, Naodushu would probably order the troops to retreat without even thinking about it, and under such a blow from the enemy, how long could the soldiers who relied only on the fields and trees be able to support them? Not to mention anything else, just this short period of artillery bombardment, I'm afraid they have lost dozens of people, especially what's worse, his soldiers are not those veterans who are used to fighting, veterans are afraid of guns, recruits are afraid of artillery, under the offensive of enemy artillery, how long can these soldiers support?
