"I really didn't expect this."
Li Yunlong nodded.
Xing Zhiguo also said: "Now the logistics supply line of the 10th Division has been cut off. What else will the Japanese use to fight our new regiment?"
"We still can't be careless." Li Yunlong remained calm enough,
"That's right!" Zhao Gang agreed, "The 10th Division is a Category A division and will not be defeated so easily by us. The Japanese in the 10th Division will definitely adjust their deployment next."
"No matter what moves the 10th Division uses," Wang De said kindly, "our new regiment will accept them!"
"Since the 10th Division still refuses to accept it." Li Yunlong's tone was stern and unyielding, "Then let's continue to beat that son of a bitch!"
……嶏
The time came to three o'clock in the afternoon.
Direction of Heyuan County Highway.
Under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao and the cover of 1 10mm heavy artillery, 1 10mm howitzer, 0 7mm mountain cannon, and more than 30 tanks, the new regiment and 1st battalion launched an extremely fierce offensive.
As the most powerful unit of the new regiment, the 1st Battalion has captured 16 enemy positions from yesterday afternoon to this afternoon.
There were almost 00 Japs and puppet troops in each position. After the Japs and puppet troops were captured, they were all wiped out.
Although the Japanese set up a war supervision team to prevent the Japanese and puppet soldiers from escaping, when the fire-breathing tanks and fire-breathing soldiers, under the cover of the infantry, rushed to the position to barbecue the Japanese and puppet soldiers, the Japanese and puppet soldiers still knew that they were afraid.
.
At this time, the Seventh Company of the First Battalion was preparing to attack a position called Xiaoliangshan.
This position seemed easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Japanese and puppet troops hurriedly built some civil fortifications.
There is a thickened gun tower halfway up the mountain, and machine gun fire blocks the road within 400 meters.
The 1st Battalion's offensive had long since caught up with the tunnel positions built by the 10th Engineer Regiment, so it was able to capture several Japanese positions within a few hours.
Without the protection of the tunnels, the Japanese and puppet troops in the position could not withstand the new group of artillery shells.
"Are the artillery fire ready?"
In the headquarters of the First Battalion, Zhang Dabiao put down the telescope in his hand and asked the communications soldier of the First Battalion.
"Report to the battalion commander!" The communications soldier covered the microphone of the high-power walkie-talkie, "The artillery fire has been prepared and can fire at the enemy position at any time!"
"Fire at the enemy's position!" Zhang Dabiao said loudly when he saw the Seventh Company and eight offensive tanks entering the attack position.
"Fire at the enemy position!"
The correspondent put the high-power walkie-talkie to his ear and shouted loudly.
A few kilometers behind the battalion headquarters, on the artillery position next to the road, there are 1 10mm howitzer, 1 10mm howitzer and 0 7mm mountain cannon.
A total of 44 cannons have their muzzles pointed in the direction of Xiaoliangshan. The firing parameters of the cannons of each caliber have been adjusted in advance based on the communication from the artillery observers.
Unless it is an artillery mission that requires infiltration, the Sword Squadron will be dispatched. For ordinary artillery missions, the artillery observers of each artillery battalion can be competent.
Exuding a metallic light, the gun barrels, full of technology and fierceness, were raised high, and the guns were evenly arranged. There was a military green camouflage net above the gun positions, which made it look quite extraordinary.
"put!"
When the flag soldier received the order, he shouted and suddenly waved his hand and put down the flag in his hand.
As the gunner pulled the match rope, there was a roar, the muzzle of the cannon burst into flames, strong winds swept across, and large swaths of dust and mist suddenly rose around the gun base.
The first round of shells rushed out of the barrel in an instant, crossed dozens of graceful arcs in the sky, and hit the Xiaoliangshan positions of the Japanese and puppet troops.
There was no pre-test firing, and it was covered by artillery fire right from the start, not much else, mainly because of the large number of artillery shells.
Of course, using precise methods to determine the shooting elements can ensure that most of the cannonballs can hit the target.
More than ten seconds later, a series of rapid and sharp whistling sounds sounded from above the Japanese infantry position.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of shells from the first round landed on the Japanese position one after another.
"Boom boom boom..."
Along with the explosion, fireballs and smoke continued to rise, a huge shock wave splashed up a cloud of soil and spread around, and shrapnel with the smell of death raged.
The power of the 10mm howitzer is terrifying.
In addition, there are 1 10mm howitzer and 0 7mm mountain cannon whose shell power should not be underestimated.
10mm high-explosive artillery shells and 10mm high-explosive artillery shells can cause very powerful and complete damage to the battlefield.
The civil fortifications built in a hurry by the Japanese can even destroy the 7mm mountain cannon, let alone the 10mm howitzer and 10mm howitzer.
As the shells continued to fall, explosive fireballs, smoke and mud fog continued to rise, the enemy's foxholes, trenches and bunker fortifications were blown into large and small craters.
"attack!"
Ten minutes later, Zhang Dabiao felt that at least half of the Japanese and puppet troops on the position had suffered casualties, so he ordered the Seventh Company to launch an attack.
This level of artillery firepower would have made Zhang Dabiao very excited in the past, but now his eyes and expressions did not fluctuate at all.
Dull.
However, Zhang Dabiao is looking forward to the 03mm heavy howitzer that has not yet been received.
Under Zhang Dabiao's order, more than 160 men from the Seventh Company, under the cover of tanks, followed the road and the wasteland on both sides of the road, maintaining a three-by-three formation and launched an attack on the Japanese positions.
The Seventh Company originally had more than 000 people, but in the defensive and offensive battles, dozens of people were injured or killed, and now there are more than 160 people.
Nearly 300 meters away from the Japanese forward position, in order to prevent accidental damage, the rear artillery group stopped shelling.
The power of 10mm high-explosive grenades is no joke. Even a Panther tank will be destroyed on the spot if it is hit by a 10mm high-explosive grenade.
Instead, a battalion of mortars began to operate, and nearly 30 60mm and 8mm mortar shells continued to fall on the Japanese and puppet positions.
The Japanese and puppet troops who had just survived the howitzers and mountain artillery were attacked by intensive mortar shells.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the Japanese and puppet soldiers still faced the dense artillery shells and opened fire suddenly at the soldiers of the 1st Battalion and 7th Company of the New Regiment.
The Japanese mountain gun in the rear, as well as the Type 92 infantry gun and mortar in the anti-slope position opened fire. The shells continued to fall, and the casualties of the Seventh Company continued to increase.
Fortunately, the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops in the frontal position was relatively sparse. There were only a few machine guns, and the firepower was directly suppressed by the four tanks at the front.
As the Panther tanks advanced, the tank guns fired at the Japanese firepower points. Soon the Japanese firepower points were knocked out one by one.
As the tanks arrived at the forward position and entered the blind spot of the Japanese artillery, the Japanese artillery fire gradually stopped.
During this period, a soldier from the Seventh Company stepped on a landmine and had his leg blown off.
Although the observers directed the artillery to conduct fire coverage and demining the front of the position before the tanks and infantry attacked, it was impossible to completely guarantee that the mines would be cleared.
However, the Japanese only have infantry mines, not anti-tank mines.
Under the cover of the infantry, the fire-breathing tank suddenly sprayed flames at the thickened turret of the Japanese, but no screams were heard.
The Japanese also knew how powerful the fire-breathing tanks were. When they saw the fire-breathing tanks approaching, they immediately abandoned the turrets and fled into the position.
The Leopard tanks and Spitfire tanks were parked at the Japs' forward positions and did not drive into the positions to prevent the Japs from pretending to be dead while holding the explosives and dying together with the tanks.
There are not many Japanese and puppet soldiers alive in the position.
The soldiers of the Seventh Company jumped into the Japs' position one after another and fired one last shot at the Japs and puppet soldiers lying on the ground, regardless of life or death.
Before the Seventh Company entered the position, the artillery shells falling on the Japanese and puppet positions never stopped. About 00 Japanese and puppet soldiers on the position, most of them were killed by the artillery shells.
Some Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers tried to resist with rifles, but were quickly beaten into pieces by submachine guns.
A platoon of soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain. At this time, the Japanese artillery on the reverse slope had not yet been eliminated. With luck, a few mortars and infantry guns were captured.
The hill was neither steep nor high. When the leading soldier of this platoon rushed all the way to the top of the hill, before they could gain a firm foothold, a bullet was shot up from the reverse slope.
The three vanguards fell in a pool of blood on the spot.
I saw a dense ambush of Japanese soldiers on the reverse slope, at least thousands of them. Thousands of steel helmets reflected a large cold light under the reflection of the sun.
The Japs' vanguard was already approaching the top of the mountain, and the Japs were aiming light and heavy machine guns at the top of the mountain.
The soldiers from the Seventh Company who followed also heard the gunfire, but no one flinched and prepared to occupy the commanding heights on the top of the mountain before the Japanese.
Soldiers from both sides met on the top of the mountain. The soldiers fired at each other without any protection, and the crowd fell one by one.
None of the soldiers of the Seventh Company flinched. They roared up with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles.
The Japanese quickly occupied the commanding heights and mounted Type 96 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns at the commanding heights and continued to fire.
The new group of soldiers had strong individual firepower, but they were at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. They did not flinch when faced with the tide of Japanese soldiers rushing down from the top of the mountain.
Now is not the time to start the offensive. We must not let the newly captured positions be taken back by the Japanese.
The Leopard tanks in the forward position continued to fire, and the Japanese fell in pieces. The Japanese machine gun fire points and machine gunners were blasted into the sky by the tank cannons, but the Japanese continued to advance.
Soon, the soldiers of the Seventh Company of the New Regiment were overwhelmed by the hordes of Japanese soldiers.
Moments before the Japanese recaptured their position, Zhang Dabiao heard the Seventh Company Commander calling to him on the walkie-talkie: "Batalion Commander, I am the Seventh Company Commander, please fire on me, fire on me!"
Zhang Dabiao's expression was filled with murderous intent, and he shouted into the high-power walkie-talkie: "I am Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion. Pass my order. The tanks will be withdrawn immediately, and the artillery group will immediately launch a one-minute shelling on the Xiaoliangshan position!"
"嶶
As Zhang Dabiao issued the order, the tank slowly retreated.
Not long after, the artillery group in the rear began to fire rapidly in retaliation. The Japanese had just regained their position and had not yet taken a breath.
There was a continuous rapid whistling sound above the head.
