Chapter 71 Breaking ground on Tai Sui's head?
"Boom boom boom!"
One round of artillery shells landed on the main position of the Japanese. The earth shook for a moment. Many Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to react. Before they could enter the trenches, they were blown into pieces of meat by the fire in the sky!
"Brothers, show the murderous aura of our infantry regiment! You all know the combat areas and tasks of each battalion. I still say the same thing. Yanxia men will never lose to the Eastern Japanese on the battlefield!"
When the artillery fire was running out, Xu Tianlong simply boosted the morale of the soldiers and ordered the attack to begin!
When the fierce artillery fire made the Japanese dare not get out of the trenches, the infantry of Xu Tianlong's 37th Brigade had already touched the periphery of the Japanese position!
The artillery battalion had just ceased fire, and the Japanese poked their heads out of the trenches, but the next moment, they were shocked. The enemy troops of a battalion were less than 50 meters away from them!
"Bang bang bang!"
The few Japanese soldiers who showed their heads were immediately beaten into sieve by the first battalion of soldiers, and blood flowed all over the ground!
Seeing this, the other Japanese immediately shouted and started defending. Several light machine guns and heavy machine guns began to shoot at the soldiers of the 37th Brigade on the line of fire.
"Find a location for machine gun positions, suppress firepower! Cover your comrades to attack!"
The light and heavy machine guns of the 37th Brigade were not inferior at all. They immediately launched firepower against the Japanese machine guns. The distance between the two sides was less than 100 meters, and they were within the effective range of the other side.
"Da da da da!"
"You little Japanese, go and die!"
The bullets of the heavy machine gun swept over the Japanese position, causing white smoke to emerge from the sandbags on the Japanese position!
There were a few Japanese who were not afraid of death and wanted to stand up and throw grenades, but the next moment, they became a cold corpse, and half of their bodies were smashed by heavy machine guns!
Twenty minutes after the war started, the frontier positions of the Japanese were lost, and a large number of Japanese were forced to retreat. The Japanese captain who was in the rear became anxious at that time:
"Let the stupid donkeys in the artillery brigade not look for the enemy's artillery fire position. Can't you see our soldiers being massacred? Fire at the enemy! Fire immediately!"
The Japanese captain roared fiercely, and the Japanese lieutenant beside him immediately reminded, "Captain, the enemy's artillery has very advanced howitzers. Once our artillery is exposed, it will probably not take long to get hit. You must not fire the artillery..."
"And some of our soldiers have not yet retreated and are still fighting hard with the enemy in positions. This will inevitably lead to the attack on them..."
"Baga Road! The enemy's artillery will change direction. Can't our artillery? I don't care about that much, I must stop the enemy's attack!"
The Japanese commander could not care so much. He looked crazy and did not consider the danger of firing now, and still issued an order to shell the enemy!
Under the order of the Japanese captain, the artillery brigade that had just arrived could only build an artillery position on the spot, because the 37th Brigade's attack was too rapid.
They didn't even have time to find the best artillery position. If they didn't fire the artillery, perhaps the entire battlefield would have been captured by the enemy.
"preparation!"
"shooting!"
With the order of the Japanese commander, several Type 92 infantry artillery fired together, and the ammunition arrived over the combat area in an instant!
"Swoosh swish swish..."
Listening to the sound coming from the sky, the soldiers of the 37th Brigade, who had been baptized by war, immediately determined that this was not the firepower of their artillery battalion, the sound was completely different, and they were all over their heads!
Then there is only one possibility. The Japanese artillery finally couldn't hold back and had already opened fire!
Many soldiers followed the trend and evaded most of the artillery fire. The soldiers outside the position immediately fell down and left the will.
After a round of artillery fire, the infantry regiment suffered not much loss. Instead, some Japanese soldiers who were still in the melee began to point at the rear and curse!
Although they were not hit, they had not withdrawn yet. Why did the above fire? How could this happen? Isn’t this trying to kill them with the enemy?
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the soldiers on both sides immediately fought again, firing shots, fighting bayonets and bayonets, and the scalp-making sounds sounded again on the position!
"Young Marshal, the Japanese artillery fired. Judging from the firepower just now, their artillery brigade has been dispatched, and it is very likely that it will be gathered together..."
Zhou Weiguo hurried back to the command center and reported to Xu Tianlonghui loudly.
When Xu Tianlong heard the news, he issued an order to the communications soldier without hesitation!
"Hurry, send a telegram to Yang Zhihua's artillery battalion, so that they must lock in the area where the Japanese artillery brigade is located, seize the opportunity, and kill the Japanese at one time!"
When Xu Tianlong heard the news, he issued an order to the communications soldier without hesitation!
In fact, before the telegram was delivered, Yang Zhihua had already sent someone to investigate.
"I called back to the command center and said that if I, Yang Zhihua, could not defeat the enemy's artillery brigade, I would voluntarily go to the kitchen squad to raise pigs and set up horses!"
Yang Zhihua made a ruthless move and issued a military order on the spot. As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers sent out for investigation sent people to send back the news.
"Battery Commander, we have roughly locked the position of the Japanese Artillery Brigade. Judging from their ballistic trajectory, they are in this area!"
Yang Zhihua is worthy of being the number one artillery god in the world. He just looked at the map the soldiers pointed to and immediately knew what was going on.
At first glance, with the Japanese military qualities, they would never put their artillery brigade in such a conspicuous position, but when they think about it carefully, it is completely reasonable!
Such a position can only mean that the Japanese are already being beaten up, and they are only the last straw that defeated the camel!
Soon, Yang Zhihua passed on his experience to pass on the shooting orders. All the cannons of the artillery battalion set up their guns in the ground, aiming at the area where the Japanese artillery brigade was located, and preparing to cover the artillery fire!
"Calibrate quickly. We're very short of time. Maybe the Japanese will run away after firing a few shots. They must hold them in place!"
Yang Zhihua kept urging the soldiers, and after about two minutes, the preparations were over!
"Report! The first company of the artillery battalion is ready!"
"Report, the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion is ready!"
"Report, the Third Company of the Artillery Battalion..."
"Free fire! Cover the fire!"
Yang Zhihua roared angrily, and the flag-spoken soldier next to him immediately waved the flag in his hand and ordered the fire!
"Damn it, this Japanese gunfire is too fierce, and the brothers are suffering heavy losses!"
Although Xu Hu and others had already entered the Japanese position, they were blocked by enemy artillery fire and could not move forward. Listening to the "rumbling" cannon sound from outside the cat's ear piercing, Xu Hu felt bored!
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Another series of explosions came, the ground trembled slightly, and the floating soil in the cat's ear pierced "rattled" down, but this time, Xu Hu suddenly frowned, feeling that things were not simple!
The sound of the explosion was dull, and Xu Hu knew immediately that the explosion was so far away, it was definitely coming from the Japanese.
It must be their artillery battalion that opened fire!
"Blow up, blow me up the little Japanese devils to death, hahaha!"
"I did a pretty job, our artillery camp finally opened fire. I thought they had gone to the West to obtain the scriptures!"
"See, the Japanese artillery fire has stopped, and their artillery brigade has definitely suffered a heavy blow!"
"Beautiful job, Lao Yang!"
Xu Tianlong looked at the scene of a sea of fire behind the Japanese and put down his telescope with satisfaction.
Yang Zhihua was lucky enough to be depressed. After fifteen minutes of artillery bombardment, he directly bombed the Japanese artillery brigade into the sky. Dozens of Type 92 infantry cannons were even bombarded into a pile of scrap copper and iron. Not to mention the artillery in the center of the artillery bombardment.
If the Japanese who can survive the shelling of 15 minutes can go home and buy lottery tickets as soon as possible.
"Baga! A bunch of waste! Waste! Retreat, retreat immediately!"
The Japanese brigade leader rushed out of the tent and looked at the area where the artillery brigade was located. There was already a sea of fire and his whole face had collapsed.
The artillery brigade was no longer there, and the frontier positions were captured by the enemy again. Whether it was paper strength or the morale of the soldiers, they were completely defeated!
Even though they still have strategic space to support, the Japanese captain believes that they have no hope.
It is too difficult, too difficult to defeat the enemy's infantry regiment here!
He realized that the Japanese were defeated again and began to withdraw troops to Hefeng County. Can Xu Tianlong let them run away like this?
"All howitzers in the artillery battalion are blocked from a long-range attack. Xu Hu's camp will retreat and the other battalions will chase me! I want to see where they can run!"
Xu Tianlong had just issued the order to pursue, and a communication soldier stood up quickly.
Chapter completed!
