Chapter 1291: The Artillery Is Coming!

The gunfire was the first to sound in the direction of the commando, the devil's machine guns, rifles and grenadiers were frantically pouring towards the commando, they couldn't aim, so they covered the commando's forward line with shells, it was not easy to aim, so they used bullets to form a barrage, anyway, there was one purpose, so that the commando team stopped, once the attacking troops lost their mobility, it was difficult for the troops without bunkers to compete with the troops with trenches in the field, when the firepower of the troops on both sides was about the same.

"Puff ......"

The sudden sound of gunfire not only made the brothers of the commando quickly find cover and lie down, but even the sixty-fourth and sixty-fifth regiments were the same, and the gunfire sounded, proving that they were already under the guns of the devils.

The devils on the position didn't react, they didn't understand that there were still more than two hundred meters away, how could they shoot on the flanks, and without orders, they had to continue to wait.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

But the machine gun on the tank will not wait, the on-board machine gun is well lit, and the ammunition carrying is very large, thousands of rounds, and the machine gunner can shoot at the place where he suspects at will.

"Sudden ......"

"Boom, boom......"

The time soon came when the fierce gunfire in front of the position came, and the battle on the Yingkaitang position suddenly became white-hot.

"Boom, boom......"

The tank battalion went straight to the front line and shelled it directly with tank guns, and the remaining fortifications under the aerial bombs faced the tank guns, and the shells of the tank guns became the last straw that crushed the camels, and the remaining fortifications were destroyed one by one.

"Dangdangdang......"

Trees that can survive on the battlefield have become a rarity, both the attacker and the defender, they like to use the cover of the trunk to shoot, the devil's crooked machine gunner is behind the trunk, the crooked machine gun shoots an extremely high rate of fire, and a whole area of soldiers is pressed to the ground.

"Three o'clock, target tree."

An M3 tank with the word 12 painted on its body is tank No. 12 of the tank battalion, and the machine gun group under the tree cannot be seen by the observer from the observation hole, but the tank's task is to destroy the fortifications, and the large trees in the field of vision, whether they are fortifications or not, can become a cover that the defenders rely on.

"Boom!"

The tank gun rotates, the sighter locks the direction, and the gunner fires a random shell.

This cannon was very accurate, the tree was directly penetrated, the trunk fell down, and a machine gun crew hiding behind the tree and firing did not have time to escape, regardless of whether they were directly killed by the shells, they were all crushed under the fallen tree trunk, and there was no way to move.

"Ahh

Inside and outside the position, as the gunfire continued, soldiers on both sides of China and Japan were killed and wounded.

"Withdraw, withdraw......"

The dilapidated position, the firepower was completely suppressed, and after the devils held in front of the second line of positions for a morning, the commander did not even have the courage to launch a counterattack, and retreated to the next position from the tunnel in disarray.

"Bang, bang......"

The brothers who entered the position did not relax their vigilance, the bushido spirit of the devils contributed to a large number of dead soldiers, and their self-explosion attacks were not few, the expeditionary force and the devils fought for so long, and now they are even free of bayonets to clean up the battlefield, and they fight directly far away, and use bullets to eliminate hidden dangers.

"Division commander, the devil's second position has been captured, and the casualties are not large, Feng Yi's department asked for rocket supplies."

At the division headquarters, the chief of staff reported to Liao Yaoxiang.

"How much has the front been pushed forward?"

Liao Yaoxiang asked.

"About eight hundred meters."

The chief of staff made an estimate.

"Order the troops to rest on the spot, let the logistics men bring ammunition and lunch, and let the brethren have enough to eat before attacking."

Liao Yaoxiang was in a very good mood, today's attack was smooth, and the casualties were small, how could he not be happy.

"Ask where the artillery units have gone? After a morning of walking, they should be on the road! ”

Liao Yaoxiang shouted.

The highway Liao Yaoxiang is talking about is the road from Wakang to Yingkaitang, and last night, they were trapped in the river valley of Wakang, and they should also come out now.

The walkie-talkie did not reach the distance of the call, and the radio contact was not so fast, Liao Yaoxiang looked at the sun overhead, and he was wondering if he wanted to move the division headquarters forward and give up this place to the artillery unit.

"Regiment commander, I just led people forward to reconnoitre, the devil's position in front is five hundred meters away, the devil's position is relatively well preserved, you can see from the telescope, the devil took advantage of the morning time, and repaired the damaged fortifications, without artillery support, I am afraid it will be the same as yesterday."

Rhoda sat next to Feng Yi, holding an iron lunch box and pulling rice with a thick layer of soup on top, a traditional Chinese salty taste, not the weird curry taste of India.

"Today's weather is very good, the plane can come again, as long as you find out where the devil's position is, it's very simple."

Feng Yi pointed to the sun above his head, this kind of weather was too friendly for them.

"Report, Commander Luo called, the 105th howitzer battalion has passed through Valaja, and artillery support can be provided at any time."

Liao Yaoxiang finally waited for the good news, the 105th howitzer battalion can participate in the battle.

"Tell Luo Xianzhi to arrange artillery positions along the road, and continue to move forward after one round of bombardment."

"Let the artillery observers provide the shelling parameters right away."

"Order the forward troops, pause the attack, and attack again after the shelling......"

Liao Yaoxiang put down the lunch box he had eaten half-eaten and immediately revised his attack plan.

"Boom ......"

The bombardment of howitzers was very fast, in just half an hour, the shells whistled and smashed on the positions of the devils, and the landing point of the shelling was not accurate, but in this kind of area, within the range of the howitzers, walkie-talkies could also be contacted, and the walkie-talkies of the Americans had a distance of more than seven kilometers, not to mention that the range of howitzers reached 11 kilometers, but under normal circumstances, they would not shell at the maximum range, because on this battlefield, they already had no enemy, and the artillery positions of the Japanese did not dare to be exposed during the day, Moreover, the Japanese Army already lacked large-caliber artillery.

"Boom ......"

After a simple correction, the shells smashed on the devil's position in pieces, frantically destroying the devil's fortifications.

"Yaga!"

Chang Dazuo's face was gloomy, the artillery unit of the expeditionary force had participated in the battle, that is to say, Walatang would definitely not be able to hold it, in his heart, the infantry of the expeditionary force only needed a symbolic attack, and under the constant bombardment of the artillery, the tank would guide the infantry to come up and collect corn on the cob.

Yes, in the eyes of Chang Dazuo, they have become corn cobs, and in this terrain, they can only be slaughtered.

"Go to the position."

Jiu Dazuo put down his binoculars, walked out of the bunker in the north of Waratang, and led the guard team through the town, heading straight to the last line of defense outside Waratang, that is, the fourth line of defense.
