Bloody Temple Walk (1)
"Third battalion commander, push your artillery to this position, do you see, how good this place is, across this building is the sea, the Japanese gunboats are parked here, you park the artillery here, cross this building and give me a hard shot, just shoot blindly, and shoot all your shells now!" Liu Hai arranged for the third battalion commander. "Good! No problem! The third battalion commander said excitedly. Liu Hai watched the third battalion drag the artillery away, so he rushed to the east with the guard platoon. "Let's go to the headquarters now and ask the commander to give us some troops, we are too close to the river bank, in case we are caught up by the Japanese raid, then the loss will be great!" Bangs said as he got into the car. When the guard platoon commander drove to the headquarters, the busyness of the headquarters made it difficult for Liu Hai to find Zhang Zhizhong.
"Commander, please give us some guards!" As soon as Liu Hai finished speaking, Zhang Zhizhong blocked Liu Hai's mouth. "Now there is not a single soldier to adjust, and now the order I give you is to withdraw all the artillery, concentrate behind Miaohang Town, and cover the defense of my 533rd and 532nd regiments with all our might! Now the situation is obvious, the Japanese want to open a gap in the temple, and then surround Wusong in a roundabout way, now we have competed with the Japanese army, as long as we block the Japanese attack, he little devil has no drama for the time being! Zhang Zhizhong said. The little devil wants to fight in the temple, but there is a flat river, the little devil cannon is so fierce, it is not good for me! Bangs said. There is no way to do this, the temple line must not be lost, once the temple line is lost, we will fall into passivity as a whole, not only us, but also the 19th Route Army will be very dangerous, so we must stop the little devil in the temple! Zhang Zhizhong said helplessly. Since there is no choice, then there is no need to choose, our artillery regiment is all concentrated in the north of Mingtang Road, and we have a good fight with the little devils! After saying that, the bangs left, because there was no choice in the matter!
"Guard platoon, you inform the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion, all of which are concentrated by the Sanquan River north of Mingtang Road, and we are going to fight the devil hard!" Bangs said. "Yes, Commander, I'll go right away!" The guard platoon commander drove away. Liu Hai looked at Zhang Zhizhong's headquarters and saw that there was no car left, so he went to the street to find a bicycle that no one wanted, and rode to Sanquan River! After arriving at the Sanquan River, Liu Hai knew that the Sanquan River was not a river, but a whole piece of farmland, and in front of the Sanquan River was the temple! After arriving at the place, Liu Hai observed this place and felt that it was still more suitable for artillery positions, at least there was no threat from the Japanese army in front of him, and if the Japanese army took a detour, it would be counted out.
"The first battalion is here, responsible for defensive artillery fire on the left side, because the terrain on the left flank is not conducive to defense, the second battalion is transferred to a company, reinforced to the third battalion, responsible for frontal artillery support, and the second battalion is responsible for the defense on the left," Liu Hai muttered while drawing on the paper, arranging the distribution of artillery power in his heart! It took Liu Hai an hour to arrange the position of the cannons, and also thought about the spacing of the cannons according to the terrain. "Commander, we're here, we're all here, what should we do next?" Liu Hai looked at the three battalion commanders in front of him, and then told them that he had planned the position arrangement, and the three artillery battalions arranged their positions in the fastest time. But soon Bangs realized how wrong he was! Liu Hai did not continue to stay on the artillery position, but took a walkie-talkie, and went out to a big tree behind the position with his guard platoon, using this tree as an observation point to intuitively command his artillery.
The first thing Liu Hai saw was that the injured national troops in front were retreating, some with injured legs, some with broken arms, all supporting and assisting each other to retreat to the back! Liu Hai looked at the position of the national army in the direction of Miaohang again, and all the national soldiers were nervously making pre-war preparations. Liu Hai is looking ahead, this piece of terrain is indeed not very good, a horse is flat, and the positions of the national army are all exposed to the Japanese artillery fire. "I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight!" Liu Hai had just thought of this, and the cannon of the Japanese on the opposite side had already sounded. "Boom!" After a loud bang, the two national soldiers were blown away, and a large part of the fortifications on the position were blown down! "Damn, this is definitely a hundred millimeters of heavy artillery!" Bangs can be seen, but there is no way, this cannon must be outside its own range! A loud bang was followed by a burst of explosions, and the positions of the national army were already dusty, and there was no one in sight! "Damn!" After observing for a long time, Liu Hai confirmed one of the closest artillery positions of the Japanese army, but after thinking about it, Liu Hai still held back, because Liu Hai understood that his artillery was limited, and there were less than 30 guns in a total of three battalions, and the intensity of the Japanese artillery fire just now was more than 50 guns, and if he exposed his artillery power too early, he was likely to be attacked by the Japanese air power, and only when the Japanese attacked, he used his limited artillery power to fight the Japanese infantry.
"Report, Position Call!" The guard platoon handed the headset to Bangs. "I'm a battalion commander!" A battalion commander's call came from the headset, "Regiment commander, the commander ordered us to open artillery and counterattack!" "No! Now we can't open artillery, ask someone to put the telephone line through, this time we are fighting a positional war with the Japanese army, and we need to communicate with the headquarters and the front line at any time! Bangs said. Be! The commander of the first battalion said immediately. Tell you, the whole regiment is ready for artillery bombardment, listen to my orders to open artillery, and if you open artillery without an order, you will be punished as collaborating with the enemy! Bangs said. Be! The commander of the first battalion replied. Liu Hai continued to watch the movement of the Japanese troops in front of the national army position, and waited for about ten minutes, but the Japanese army still did not attack, but Liu Hai saw that the national soldiers on the position were drilling out of the anti-artillery hole, preparing to enter the position. "Something is wrong!" The more you look at the bangs, the more wrong it becomes! "There you go!" Liu Hai pointed to a soldier and said, "You go and tell the brothers of the national army in front not to rush into the position, the Japanese are likely to shoot artillery!" Just go! "Yes!" The soldier ran forward as fast as he could.
Liu Hai's reaction was not slow, but it was still half a beat slower, and when the soldier just got on the position, he was blown into two pieces by a cannonball, and then a group of shells fell, blowing up the national army that had just entered the position! "I'll fuck you little Japan!" Liu Hai watched the national army being bombed, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, but there was no way! But fortunately, the Japanese artillery fire was very urgent but short-lived, and the shelling soon stopped! "Almost, it's time for the little devil to come up!" Bang Hai was thinking that it was almost over, and called the walkie-talkie to contact the artillery position, ready to open fire!
