Section 102 The infantry begins to attack

"A thousand meters of ruler, the front line of the target devils, they are all fucking idiots? Where is this cannon aiming? It's almost a mile away! It's so close the fuck, just looking at it with your eyes, it won't be so far, right? Ou Zhanpeng blushed, pointing at the brothers of the artillery company who had fired a shell and scolded.

Looking at the explosion point that deviated from the intended target by an unknown number of times, the artillerymen were also ashamed. The artillery platoon commander who commanded in front couldn't help but clench his fists in the face of the scolding, and shouted to the brothers behind him: "Don't be afraid, come again!" ”

Liu Wenfeng, Li Wenguang, Gao Dazhui and others stood on the sidelines with strange expressions and watched, they didn't understand this kind of thing, and they couldn't intervene. Just looking at Ou Zhanpeng so majestic and pointing at a group of professional or semi-professional artillerymen and scolding, they all felt that the artillery company commander had chosen the right person, and with him commanding these people, he would be able to produce results sooner or later.

Listening to him scolding for a long time, Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai was a little reluctant, and couldn't help coughing lightly and comforting: "Company Commander Ou, don't worry, the artillery of our regiment has just been built, and it still needs time to accumulate experience." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and after a long time, I hit more times, and the hit rate will come up. ”

The chief of staff spoke, and Ou Zhanpeng naturally didn't want to say anything more, but he stared at these artillerymen with a gloomy face, which also made his subordinates feel furious. However, the platoon commander seemed to be a very strong lord in his heart, and after being scolded, it aroused the arrogance in his heart, and I saw that he also rolled up his sleeves, stared at these brothers in the platoon with wide eyes, and shouted loudly: "Correct five hundred steps back, other parameters remain the same, shoot again!" ”

Under the heavy pressure of "boom", the artillery sounded again. With the previous shot as a reference, this corrected shot finally hit the target accurately. Holding up the binoculars, Shi Shi and the others clearly saw that on the Japanese position about two miles away, a huge flame suddenly rose into the air, and under the thick smoke rolling, the bags of mud bags stacked by the Japanese army disappeared immediately, and there was also a section of mud trench that disappeared. Under one shot, everything within a radius of more than ten meters was wiped out.

Although they were far away, they could see the chaos on the Japanese positions from the telescope. These Japanese troops have fought countless battles with the 57th Division during this time, but the battle situation is far from what the veterans say, as long as the strength of a brigade can chase the enemy tens of thousands of people. In fact, in this attack, the strength of one of their divisions has not eaten up one of the opponent's infantry divisions until now, and this kind of battle situation has greatly surprised them. Obviously, they had encountered the most elite units of the enemy army, which made them sigh one by one that they were unlucky.

But even the most elite unit never launched an artillery attack. The most difficult battle fought by the Japanese was to deal with the enemy's fierce infantry charge. This time, when they stretched their necks one by one, waiting to aim and shoot the enemy, who would have thought that a shell would fall on the head, and the difference, especially the psychological contrast, made them extremely uncomfortable.

"Good, good fight! Just fucking like that! The platoon commander saw that his brothers finally hit the enemy position in the distance, and he couldn't help but be very excited, he pulled off the cotton stuffed in his ears, waved his arm vigorously, and shouted with a hint of provocation: "Company commander, are you still fighting?" ”

"Hit, hit me hard, four cannons, all the shells will be shot out for me." Ou Zhanpeng's face eased a lot, but thinking of losing such a big face before, he couldn't help but be angry, thinking of what the regiment had promised at that time, the artillery shells were finished, and the regimental headquarters would find a way, and he couldn't care about it so much, and used every opportunity to let the artillery exert its power.

"Boom...... Boom ......" four Meiji Type 41 mountain guns lined up and suddenly poured shells at the Japanese position, the light gun body, every tremble, accompanied by the piercing whistling of the shells, and then the heavy explosion in the Japanese position, raging, just a moment of effort, the Japanese position was in chaos, everywhere panicked Japanese troops.

When they were in Hengling a few days ago, these two guns had already shown their power. However, the last time was at night, and their vision was greatly affected, not knowing how powerful the shells were. This time, with a clear line of sight, the powerful power of the shells attracted bursts of cheers from the officers and men of the Independent Regiment. Lin Xiufeng also sighed on the side: "This European company commander is a talent, and the two guns captured in Hengling can exert their power as soon as they reach the hands of their artillery company, obviously they have not made any less efforts in this regard." I didn't expect that our independent regiment has such a small number of men, and now it can be equipped with an artillery company with four mountain guns, I'm afraid that this strength doesn't even have an ordinary army, right? ”

Lin Xiufeng's words did not cause any reaction, because with the roar of the artillery, the ears of the people on the side had already been stuffed with thick cotton, otherwise, listening to the roar of the artillery up close, their ears would have been deaf. However, looking at their excited expressions one by one, they were obviously also happy that their troops could have such a strong strength. In the past, they were bombarded by the devil's artillery and couldn't raise their heads, but now the situation is reversed, their own regiment actually has an artillery unit, and the lethality is also amazing. Watching the Japanese troops hidden in the position constantly being blown away by shells, they couldn't help but feel a long sigh of relief.

Seeing that after a series of artillery bombardments, the Japanese position had been completely shrouded in smoke and dust, and as the artillery fire continued to attack, it became more and more silent, and the stone also waved his hand at the tall sledgehammer on the side. In this case, shouting is useless, in the case of a roar of artillery, only gestures and flags, will work. The tall sledgehammer seemed to have been waiting for the stone's order, and as soon as he saw the stone's gesture, he immediately nodded. Immediately, he quickly ran towards the place where the second battalion was located, and personally went to direct the next attack.

This was the second time that the officers and men of the Independence Regiment launched an attack on the enemy's positions with artillery support. However, as the saying goes, a long illness becomes a doctor, and they themselves have not had artillery for a long time, but they have been bombarded by the devil's artillery a lot of times, whether it is the devil's artillery unit or the aerial bombardment that makes them have no idea at all, the people who can survive under that overwhelming offensive have accumulated enough experience with their lives and blood on how to deal with artillery. Naturally, in such a situation, their familiarity with artillery has also reached a level that is unimaginable in everyday life.

While the four guns on the side of the artillery company were still attacking, Gao Da Sledgehammer had already commanded the officers and men of the second battalion to begin to break through to the Japanese position.

The soldiers of the second battalion are known for their strict military discipline under the tall sledgehammer*, and their style of ordering and prohibiting makes them unique, and their combat ability is also on a par with the first battalion. You must know that the second battalion is not like the first battalion, which is mainly composed of veterans, and in this kind of situation where the quality of individual soldiers is still quite backward, it can really make people look at it with such combat effectiveness. After receiving the order from the battalion commander, the first battalion that played the forward battalion under the command of the company commander Wang Mengeng braved the artillery fire above his head and quickly advanced towards the enemy's position.

Wang Mengeng is not only the commander of the first company, but also the second battalion, he naturally knows that it is not easy for the heavy responsibility of the main attack to be handed over to the second battalion. In this case, it is difficult to say whether the people of the second battalion can be lost and if this battle is not fought, and whether such a main attack opportunity can be obtained in the future. Therefore, Wang Mengeng also personally rushed to the front line this time, personally leading a company of soldiers to assault the enemy's position.

Seeing that the assault troops were getting closer and closer to the enemy's position, the artillery fire of the artillery company also stopped. This time, they were really addicted, and the artillerymen had become extremely skilled in hitting the back after the initial jerkiness, whether it was the entire shooting process or the hit point of the shells, they had made great progress in the continuous shooting. And all this, thanks to the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army.

Last time in Hengling, they only had two guns, and at night, the accuracy of the shooting could not be guaranteed, let alone the killing power of the enemy's position. And in order to preserve their strength, they have to fight a shot to change places, and most of their physical strength and energy are used on this. However, the two artillery pieces and dozens of shells captured in that battle made them have enough of today. Since the enemy forces in front of them did not seem to have artillery, they fought as much as they wanted, as if they were conducting artillery training.

Only the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion and the 1st Company who are on the front line can truly feel the benefits of having artillery. At this moment, they had advanced to a distance of less than 100 paces from the enemy's forward position, and at this time in the past, they had already been subjected to heavy strafing fire from the enemy's machine guns, and it was a very terrible thing to face the cross-fire of several machine guns in the open area. In particular, the firepower of the Japanese troops, weapons and ammunition are very sufficient, which allows the Japanese army to hold an area several miles long with the strength of one squadron, and even if one or two divisions attack at the same time, the possibility of breaking through the enemy's fire blockade is extremely small. It is precisely because of this disparity in firepower that the Japanese army despises the national army troops, and the saying that a brigade of the Japanese army is equivalent to a division of the national army has gradually become popular.

But now, after being bombarded by artillery, a company has unimpeded a distance of eighty paces in front of the Japanese position, and is still advancing, while the Japanese army, which was unrivaled in the past, has not reacted at all.
