Prepare the heavy mortar position of the 1st Regiment.

Two 120mm mortars were placed in a depression on the reverse slope of Highland 82. The Japanese's direct firepower could not detect or hit them.

Hidden in an artillery observation post, Lei Lei raised his binoculars to observe the Japanese tanks and infantry!

Eight tanks took the lead, and a regiment of Japanese soldiers held the line.

This row of noodles is quite big!

With a sinister smile on his lips, Lei Lei conveyed the shooting parameters to the two artillery crews behind him: "Attention all platoons, prepare to shoot, target infantry behind the Japanese tank, grenade instant fuse, No. 2 charge, ruler xx, baseline shooting direction

xxx!”

The four artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the shooting angle and direction of the heavy mortar, while the two gunners were responsible for preparing for loading.

Seeing that the Japanese target entered the effective range of the heavy mortar, Lei Lei roared fiercely: "Two rounds of rapid fire, let go!"

As soon as the voice fell, the tiger body of the gun barrel shook, and two 120 mm caliber bullets came out.

Tom! Tom!

The artillery shell drew a beautiful arc over the Yuhuatai position, mixed with a whistling sound, and hit the Japs on the head.

Boom! Boom!

A dazzling flame exploded in the Japanese battle formation.

The Japanese infantrymen who were following behind the Japanese tank were immediately blown to pieces with their flesh and blood flying everywhere. Broken limbs and internal organs were scattered all over the floor. The Japanese soldiers who were still alive were holding their horrific wounds and howling in agony.

The captain was stunned.

What caliber mortar is this?

The power is simply insane!

The two cannons just killed two squads.

"So scary" was suddenly written in capital letters on the captain's face.

Liang Shanhao raised his binoculars to observe the explosion points of the two heavy mortars, and a proud smile gradually bloomed at the corner of Liang Shanhao's mouth.

Sure enough, range is truth and caliber is justice!

The little devil should doubt his life now!

Hearing the sound of explosions in the distance, Wang Daniu shouted excitedly: "The group was hit, hit, haha! This time the little devil was blown up by us!"

There was a slight breeze on his face, and Liang Shanhao said with a smile: "Things like Lei Ting are really talented! This cannon is so accurate!"

Heavy mortar position.

Seeing that the results of the two test shots just now were not bad, Lei Lei shouted at the top of his voice: "Just continue loading according to the shooting parameters just now, and keep firing!"

Two loaders loaded two mortar shells into their chambers, and several gunners made a tactical move of lowering their heads and turning their backs to the muzzles to avoid the wind.

Tom! Tom!

Two mortars roared towards the Japanese.

As soon as the Japs screamed, two more mortar shells followed, and the Japs behind the tank were immediately blinded by the blast.

Grabbing the telescope of the staff officer, the Japanese squadron leader gritted his teeth in anger: "Baga! Where are the mortars of the Chinese Army?"

At this time, eight tanks fiercely directed a directionless counterattack at Position 82.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

800 meters away, eight tank guns hit the first reserve regiment one after another.

A ball of dazzling sparks suddenly erupted on Highland 82.

A few soldiers from the first reserve group were a little unlucky. Unfortunately, they were lifted into the air by the shock wave and air waves of the artillery shells, and then fell heavily to the ground.

A soldier in charge of battlefield rescue ran towards his comrade lying on the ground and helped him close his eyes.

Liang Shan Haoqiang lowered his body to avoid the air waves and shock waves, and his head was swollen from the shock. He braced himself and said: "Wang Daniu! Order Platoon Commander Lei to blow up the little Japanese tank for me!"

After shaking off the dust on his helmet, Wang Daniu shouted: "Yes!"

Within two minutes, two mortar shells had already flown towards a Japanese Type 89 tank from the anti-slope fortification position.

Boom! Boom!

The small body of the Type 89 tank cannot carry 120mm caliber mortar shells at all.

One of the Japanese Type 89 tanks was hit by two mortar shells at the same time. The entire body was blown into a pile of scrap metal, and the Japanese in the cabin were also killed.

Seeing that one tank was exploded, the other seven tanks quickly dispersed, fearing that they would be targeted by the frantic mortars.

With a pale face, the regiment commander shouted in a low voice: "Commander, tell the division commander that our unit has been hit by heavy firepower from the China Army and cannot continue the attack. Please ask the division commander to send us aviation troops!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two mortar shells formed a formation and hit the Japanese battle formation.

Boom!

Boom!

One of the heavy mortars landed fifteen meters away. Not only did it kill more than a dozen Japs, but the powerful shock wave also pushed the commander to the ground, who chewed a mouthful of mud.

Another mortar shell hit the target impartially, and the weak top armor of the Japanese tank was instantly ripped open, and the entire vehicle body and the Japanese were wiped out in a burst of dazzling fire.

Since the Japanese tank guns used direct fire, there was nothing they could do with the direct fire from behind the anti-slope fortifications.

Except for a blind attack on the front slope position, the Japanese tanks could not find a way to counterattack for a while.

Now the only one that can deal with these two heavy mortars is the Imperial Aviation Force.

He suddenly handed the telescope in front of his eyes to a major, and Hisao Tani's division was immediately furious: "Baga! The Chinese army on the opposite side actually has heavy weapons!"

After taking the telescope and observing it, the Major shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, based on our judgment, it seems that the 27th Regiment and the Tank Squadron may not be able to attack due to direct firepower. We should use aviation."

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Tani Hisao Division shouted in a low voice: "Signal Corps, send a report to the 9th Air Force Group at Jianqiao Airport that the Yuhuatai position needs air support!"

Less than ten minutes after the telegram was sent, six 96 land attack bombers that took off from Jianqiao Airport had already passed over the heads of the Sixth Division.

Listening to the deafening roar of aircraft engines, Division Commander Hisao Tani's voice was full of arrogance: "Long live the Imperial Air Force!"

The Japanese officers and soldiers surrounding the commander of the Division Hisao Tani also cheered: "Long live the Imperial Air Force, long live the Imperial Air Force, long live the Imperial Air Force..."

Since the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese air force has been playing an important role and has been causing fatal blows to the Chinese army's defense.

Once the Japs' ground forces are unfavorable in attacking, the Japs' division-level command post can directly call in air force support to bomb key military targets at will.

Air support can almost be said to be on call. It is this efficient command system that has made China's more than 700,000-strong army protecting Shanghai suffer a great deal.

Some infantry regiments were wiped out in less than three days!

Some infantry divisions were completely wiped out after less than a week.

Some artillery regiments did not dare to fire easily. In order to avoid Japanese aircraft, they had to engage in guerrilla warfare, firing one artillery piece and changing their location.

Firepower is really the last word. Number of people is no longer the decisive factor in the era of hot weapons.

The top brass of the Japanese military knew this truth well.

With the support of the aviation force, facing the Chinese army whose number of soldiers is far greater than that of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, the Japanese military headquarters is not weak at all.

Seeing six 96 land attack bombers flying towards the anti-slope fortifications, Haoden Liangshan's expression suddenly changed.

Something bad is going on, Liang Shanhao's heavy mortar position may be in danger.

Liang Shanhao couldn't help but hesitate at all. In the blink of an eye, the six aerial bombs of the 96 land attack bomber group had fallen off the belly of the aircraft and began to free fall.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The six horizontal bombs exploded with howling sounds.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

The entire heavy mortar position was immediately shrouded in dazzling red light.

Looking at the bursts of fireworks rising in the direction of the mortar position, Liang Shanhao stomped his feet angrily: "Hey! The stupid Japanese Air Force just bullies us for not having fighter jets! Daniel, hurry up and follow me to save people! Look at the artillery platoon.
Chapter completed!
