Chapter 174: Famous General's Mission, Ping'an County (2)

"Boom!"

This was the eighth charge launched by the Matsumoto Brigade within the fourth hour of the start of the battle, and the 1,000 Japanese soldiers stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades numbly and once again embarked on the path of death.

When more than 2,000 meters away from the position of the Eighth Route Army, there were constantly shells falling, the density of the shells and the frequency of firing made Matsumoto Shaozo feel numb in the scalp, Matsumoto Shaozo is also an experienced soldier, fighting with various armies in China for many years, especially fighting with the Eighth Route Army for many years, in his impression that the Eighth Route Army lacked guns and ammunition, there was almost no artillery support in the battle, and the machine guns only had a small number of light machine guns, even if it was a rifle in the hands of the soldiers, the bullets were often less than ten rounds, in order to save bullets, four or five shots would be launched, and white-knuckle warfare would be used to end the battle, but the Eighth Route Army he met today completely subverted his previous concept。

This group of Eighth Route Army began to carry out artillery bombardment from 2,000 meters, and within four hours Matsumoto Shaoza estimated that at least tens of thousands of shells were fired, and after reaching a distance of 600 meters, dozens of light and heavy machine guns on the position did not stop, and his soldiers could only lie on the ground and climb to the position with difficulty in braving the bullets flying overhead, and finally approached a distance of two or three hundred meters (the effective range of the Suomi submachine gun was two hundred to three hundred meters), and a large number of hand-held machine guns would emerge from the eight roads on the mountain, and the dense barrage of bullets fired made it difficult for the Japanese soldiers to take a step forward, and the first seven attacks were all blocked by dead blocks at a distance of 150 meters from the position, this kind of local tyrant-style play Matsumoto Shaozo doesn't talk about this life, even if it's his previous life, he hasn't seen it in his previous life.

Because it was a lightly armed and rapid march, Matsumoto Shaosa's artillery squadron remained at the station. The only fire support of the Matsumoto Brigade was a few light mortars, but they had already been destroyed in the previous attacks, in order to break through the interception of this group of Eighth Route Army as soon as possible. Matsumoto Shaozo had no choice but to follow the tactics of Nogi Noshinori, the god of war in the Russo-Japanese War, to **** the battle of steel bullets, in an attempt to defeat the barrage tactics of the Eighth Route Army with crowd tactics.

Matsumoto Shaoza ran to the front line of the battle in person without fear of bullets, and drew his command knife to cheer up the soldiers, "You are all soldiers of the glorious Japanese Empire, what kind of system is it to lie on the ground to avoid the enemy's bullets, you must show your courage and charge forward without fear of danger." Piercing the chest of the enemy from the bayonet in his hand, pulling their intestines out of the belly, get up. Charge me!"

Under the strong order of Matsumoto Shaosa, the Japanese soldiers who had been brainwashed by militarism jumped up from the ground, shouted that His Majesty the Emperor was on board, and charged against the dense barrage launched by the Eighth Route Army on the mountain.

The charge launched by thousands of Japanese troops was full of momentum. If it is an ordinary army, it is very likely that they will be intimidated, drop their weapons, and turn around and flee. But the soldiers of the 5th and 7th companies on the battlefield did not, they were all proletarian fighters with firm beliefs, heroes who defended their homeland and the country, and the Japanese troops who launched the charge were just live targets in the eyes of these heroes.

"Hit, hit me hard! Let's see if these Japanese pigs know if they hurt!"

All the soldiers on the position of the Eighth Route Army shot desperately, countless yellow and clear bullet shells fell to the ground with green smoke, and boxes of bullets were sent to support the villagers on the front line to carry them to the position to ensure that the soldiers had enough ammunition to destroy the invaders.

Half an hour later, the battlefield fell silent. Almost all of the thousands of Japanese soldiers who were bewitched by militarism fell on the way to the charge. Only dozens of frightened Japanese soldiers were left standing on the battlefield, looking at everything around them blankly, Matsumoto Shaoza's **** finally did not defeat the steel bullet of the Eighth Route Army, and he himself committed suicide after the failure of the attack, the Matsumoto Brigade was wiped out in this battle, and the fifth and seventh companies only had a small number of casualties to be described as a complete victory.

After the battle, the 5th and 7th companies were replaced by the 4th and 6th companies to rest, and the soldiers were exhausted by hours of high-intensity fighting, and the 4th and 6th companies hurried to repair the fortifications, because today's battle was just an appetizer, and when the sun rose tomorrow, a more brutal battle was coming.

The next day, just after dawn, the battle of Ping'an County started again, the troops attacking Ping'an County have cleaned up the peripheral positions and strongholds of the Japanese puppet army, and are attacking the county seat, Mimoto Kazuki's telegrams for help were sent to the headquarters of the First Army one after another, and even the headquarters of the North China Front Army were alarmed, and the Japanese troops in various parts of Jin Province desperately reinforced, but all of them were affected by the Central Army of the Second Theater, The Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army blocked layer by layer, and the entire Jin Province fell into a big war, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy and us fought into a pot of porridge, Yan'an, Shuangqing and Tokyo all set their eyes on this sudden, inexplicable battle, and the commanders of the three parties wanted to know what was going on in Jin Province.

Ouyang Yu's headquarters was established in the small temple of fifteen miles, and from the intercepted telegram, Ouyang Yu found that this battle was getting bigger and bigger, and it had reached the level of a large-scale battle, and the restless impulse in her heart also gave her the idea of making a big news.

"Damn, what kind of battle are you fighting, this is not in line with the old lady's approach, Xiaobai, Sister Qingfeng, go, take you to a place!"

Ouyang Yu felt that he would return to the other world after this battle, so he simply let go of his hands and feet to fight, and the cute boy Xiaobai and his "wife" Wei Qingfeng, who was marrying Ming Media, also decided to return to the other world with her, so she didn't mind letting them know something.

Ouyang Yu led the two of them to a clearing under the protection of the Japanese soldiers, Wei Qingfeng looked around and asked, "Ouyang, what are you bringing us here for?"

Ouyang Yu smiled and said, "You'll know right away." ”

After saying that, she opened the purchase menu, and with a wave of her right hand, forty-eight ZIS-3 76-mm cannons, twenty-four A-19 122-mm cannons, and twelve M1937 152-mm howitzers, as well as enough artillery and ammunition, appeared in the open space in a blank light.

And that's not all, Ouyang Yu waved his right hand again, twelve Type 1939 52-K eighty-five-mm anti-aircraft guns, and twenty-four 61-K thirty-seven-mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as a large number of DShK 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns. The soldiers and ammunition who operated them also appeared near the artillery group, along with a large number of gas trucks, all of whom were middle-class soldiers with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

"Immediately began to lay out artillery positions. The air defense was deployed around the artillery positions in case of bombing by Japanese fighters!"

If it weren't for the lack of an airstrip, Ouyang Yu would have been eager to buy hundreds of fighters and bombers, but a few camel fighters that did not have many requirements for the runway were purchased by her and used as artillery reconnaissance aircraft.

Xiao Bai and Wei Qingfeng beside Ouyang Yu had already dropped their jaws in shock, could this method of changing people into a living person be the legendary immortal's bean scattering into soldiers? So isn't Ouyang Yu an immortal?

"Battalion...... Battalion commander, are you ...... It is from heaven...... Coming down fairy?"

Xiaobai was already frightened and couldn't speak clearly, and Wei Qingfeng was no better. Like Xiaobai, he regarded Ouyang Yu as an immortal, and looked at her with awe in his eyes.

"Hehehe, I'm not a fairy. It's just some special means, don't be stunned, let's go back. ”

With so many artillery pieces, Ouyang Yu had absolute confidence in the next battle, and was very much looking forward to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements as soon as possible.

The Japanese army really lived up to Ouyang Yu's expectations, and a new batch of reinforcements Sakata Wing was killed in the fifteen-mile small temple.

One wing of the Japanese army had three infantry brigades. A squadron of wing artillery (four mountain guns). An infantry artillery squadron (four infantry guns) (under the wing of the pack horse division), a squadron of rapid-fire guns (four 37 mm rapid-fire guns) (under the wing of the horse division), a command of 54 men, and a transport team of 121 men, totaling 3,800 men.

Sakata Kosuke Osa is a more cautious person, Matsumoto Shosa's farewell telegram sent by Matsumoto Shosa before committing suicide, detailing the combat effectiveness of Ouyang Yu's 2nd Battalion troops, hoping that other troops will not repeat his mistakes, but Sakata Osa is suspicious of this, believing that this is nothing more than a lie told by Matsumoto Shosa in order to reduce the responsibility for his defeat. But why did he commit suicide again after telling such a lie? Could this group of Hachiro really be so different? Therefore, Sakata Daisa thought it better to be careful, so he ordered a tentative attack. A squadron of Japanese soldiers marched in loose formation towards the positions of the 4th and 6th companies.

"Uh......h Boom......!"

A grenade exploded over the Japanese ranks, and hundreds of steel balls knocked more than a dozen Japanese soldiers into a sieve, and then more shells flew from a distance, and the Japanese squadron that had just launched an offensive formation was instantly overwhelmed by the dense shells.

"How is this possible?!" Sakata Osa couldn't believe that he had seen everything, such a fierce artillery bombardment on the Chinese battlefield was only available to their Japanese army, and the Chinese army could not have such firepower at all.

The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes, and by the time the shelling had stopped and the smoke had cleared, the squadron had all been shattered, and only a handful of survivors had survived.

"Uh......h Boom......!"

Under the guidance of the aerial reconnaissance plane, Ouyang Yu's artillery group began the second shelling, and the target of this shelling was the main force of the Sakata Wing, and one shell after another fell into the Japanese army, and the deafening explosions were endless.

"Nani, heavy artillery over 100 millimeters! Is it really the Chinese army on the other side!"

After seeing with his own eyes a 122-millimeter shell tearing dozens of soldiers to pieces, Sakata Daisa was dragged away by the guards, and a big question arose in his heart.

"Uh......h Boom...... Boom, boom, boom......!"

The cannonballs falling from the sky kept falling, and the Sakata coalition army suffered heavy casualties in the ferocious artillery bombardment, and the falling shells seemed to have eyes, and where there were more crowds, they bombarded wherever they wanted, and the Sakata United, who were on the flat ground without any cover and cover, could not resist the steel shells with their flesh and blood, and ran away without letting go of the aggrieved shot, but even so, Ouyang Yu did not let go of their intentions, and ordered the artillery group to continue to bombard, and kept chasing the butt of the Sakata Wing to bombard, until the Sakata Wing escaped out of the range of the ZIS-3 cannon and A-19 cannon, as a killer feature, the M1537 one hundred and fifty-two mm howitzer has not been fired.

Sakata Daisa, who was dragged all the way by the guards, almost vomited blood when he counted the troops after he was safe, his wing lost all the heavy weapons in the fierce artillery bombardment, more than half of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and he had no ability to fight again in a short time, he did not dare to hide such a result, and hurriedly telegraphed to the headquarters of the First Army.

After receiving a telegram from Sakata Daisa, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, his first reaction was not to believe that a 3,800-strong horse wing would be crushed under the shelling of the Eighth Route Army.

But Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka believed that Kosuke Sakata would not make such a boring joke, then there must be only one truth, that is, his wing was really destroyed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army as the telegram said.

Leaning over and looking at the map and studying it for a while, Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the phone and ordered the subordinate 114th Division to go all out to reinforce the Sakata Wing, and at the same time asked the North China Front Command to ask the Third Flying Group to launch an air attack on Ouyang Yu's department and destroy the powerful artillery in her hands.

The North China Front Command quickly agreed to Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka's request, and his subordinate Independent Flying Squadron 10th (Fighters) and Flying 90th Squadron (light bombers) quickly took off from Yangmingbao and other airfields in Jin Province to kill Ouyang Yu's troops.

Ouyang Yu had already put the Japanese army's hand in his hand, and secretly set up an air defense post dozens of kilometers away around the position, and the air defense post immediately reported it with a radio after discovering a large number of Japanese planes, and then the air defense alarm sounded on the artillery position, and the well-trained system artillery immediately began to transfer and camouflage the artillery, and the anti-aircraft guns erected on various hills and high places, raised the barrels, and the shells were stuffed into the barrels of the guns waiting for the arrival of the Japanese planes.

More than 20 minutes later, 20 Japanese Nakajima Type 97 fighters flew over the position under cover for 40 Mitsubishi Type 97 light bombers.

"Knock them down for me!"

With Ouyang Yu's order, twelve 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, twenty-four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, and DShK 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns fired a dense barrage of bullets at the Japanese fighters in the sky.

"Dadada...... Boom, boom, boom......!"

The black smoke formed after the explosion of a large number of anti-aircraft shells and the fire whip fired by the anti-aircraft machine guns caught the Japanese fighters off guard, and the Japanese fighters were almost in almost no danger in China, so in order to accurately drop bombs, the flight altitude was only 800 meters, and immediately after the sudden attack, several fighters were shot down with black smoke, and the rest of the fighters hurriedly raised their noses to raise the altitude but it was too late.
