Chapter 18 The first artillery company joins the battle
"Da Biao, let me see if the little devil can really show his strength that time."
"His dear, four rapid-fire cannons and four infantry cannons!"
"It's really precious. There are eight artillery pieces. Please tell me we can seize one of them, so we don't have to worry about building artillery towers in the future."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the little devil is so fucking rich. Did you see that there are twelve heavy machine guns in the machine gun position?"
"The Jinsui Army may not be able to withstand the Yue Army's attack, and their position will be broken through by the Japs soon."
Li Yunlong observed the battlefield situation with a telescope and looked at the weapons and equipment of the Moon Army. He almost drooled.
At this time, the Hengshan Brigade of the Third Regiment of the Little Devils launched an all-out attack after being reinforced by artillery.
Four rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns constantly changed positions and moved to carry out bombardment.
The machine gun squadron also advanced quickly and set up machine gun positions. Type 92 heavy machine guns fired one after another to suppress them.
There was flying dust everywhere in the first battalion's position, and the soldiers were so suppressed that they could not even raise their heads.
Even if the company platoon leader organizes firepower to counterattack, once someone is exposed in the position.
The Japs' light machine guns, grenade launchers, and rifle legs fired one after another, causing heavy losses to the soldiers.
The four infantry squadrons of the Hengshan Brigade launched a wave-like tactical attack. They took the team as a unit and alternated cover to quickly advance.
At this time, the infantry squadron closest to the position had advanced to a position less than 200 meters away.
"Commander, the Jinsui Army's marksmanship is really not that good."
"The light machine gun fired randomly, how many bullets were wasted."
"Then if Qifu is in his camp, he will beat him to death if someone shoots him in the leg with a machine gun like that!"
"Commander, the artillery that supported us at the beginning may be someone else."
Zhang Dabiao was also checking the battlefield situation. When he saw the performance of Qian Bojun's first battalion, he shook his head.
The new group's weapons and ammunition are limited, so their strategy is very simple: put the little devil closer and then attack.
Although it is impossible to achieve 100% hit, if the machine gun fires a bunch of bullets, it will definitely kill a few little Japs.
Otherwise, in the new regiment, he is not qualified to be a machine gun shooter.
So Zhang Dabiao was a little doubtful at this time, how could there be any elite artillery unit with such a unit.
"Hong Hong has wasted the bullets, and I will be angry just looking at her."
"Yan Laoxi is also extremely rich. He would rather let his troops waste ammunition than give it to us."
"Da Biao, look, there's a fight on the right side too. He looks at the Shanxi-Sui army, and it's likely that they've been defeated by the little devils."
Li Yunlong saw the battle on the right side and said with a depressed face.
At that time, the Hengshan Battalion and Jingzai Battalion of the East Branch of the Third Wing launched an all-out attack.
The Hengshan brigade advanced the fastest, and almost all of them were in close combat with Qian Bojun's battalion.
Although Jing Zai's team did not assist, they were not to be outdone and began to attack with all their strength.
The three infantry squadrons quickly advanced towards Wu Ziqiang's 2nd Battalion position, and the machine gun squadron set up three machine gun positions for cover.
A series of Type 92 heavy machine guns were aimed at the Second Battalion's position, and if they found the target, they would start shooting decisively.
Hachiro Eguchi, who was in charge of the 3rd Regiment, asked the Yokoyama Brigade to break through from the left position, and Izai Brigade provided assists and coordinated the operation.
Therefore, at this time, the attacking tactics of the Jing Zai Brigade could not break through, and they could not target the effective forces of the Second Battalion.
Its two eastern infantry squadrons stormed the second battalion's position and three machine gun positions provided cover from different angles.
The position on the east side of the Second Battalion suffered heavy losses one after another. The troops stationed there suffered heavy losses, with dozens of casualties occurring in a short period of time.
Wu Ziqiang wanted to mobilize troops for support, but the reinforcements were rushing to the rescue and were hit hard by heavy machine guns and grenade launchers from the Jing Zai Brigade.
Within ten minutes, the Second Battalion suffered more than a hundred casualties!
"In the camp, the firepower of the Japs is so fierce that we can't fight back at all."
"Their three machine gun positions have a total of twelve heavy machine guns!"
"Barracks, we...we may not be able to stop that little Japanese army."
At the Second Battalion's position, many officers looked at Wu Ziqiang and said solemnly.
Wu Ziqiang held the shell gun tightly and frowned.
Now his troops have suffered heavy losses, but without orders from the regiment headquarters, he can just hold on.
"Brother Ligong, have you seen that there is a big gap between them and the little devils?"
"Whether the Bucheng can fight alone or cooperate as a whole, they are far inferior to the little devils."
"Especially when it comes to the use of weapons, the Moon Army can almost hit wherever they point it!"
At the observation post of the 358th Regiment Headquarters, Chu Yunfei looked at the frontline combat situation and said with a livid face.
Qian Bojun's first battalion was definitely the main battalion, but it suffered heavy losses due to the Japanese attack and the position was in danger.
Wu Ziqiang's second battalion is directly related to Chu Yunfei, and when faced with the attack of the little devil, he will naturally not be able to defeat him.
Chu Yunfei was so anxious that he could not wait to go to the front line to fight in person.
"Regiment seat, the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion suffered heavy losses, but the First Company did not participate in the battle!"
"Just ask for a company to join the battle. Maybe we can turn the tide of the war."
"Excuse me, why hasn't Company Commander Chen done anything yet? What are they waiting for?"
Fang Ligong's face was solemn and he said softly.
Those two people's hearts were already in their throats, because they knew what the consequences of that defeat would be.
Li Yunlong, who was watching the battle from a distance, had already begun to summon cadres for combat deployment.
Because in Lao Li's opinion, the Shanxi-Sui army was about to be completely defeated.
The Hengshan Brigade was already in close contact with the First Battalion, and the Jingzai Brigade was fully suppressing the Second Battalion.
In such a situation, Li Yunlong felt that even if the Jinsui Army sent a reserve team, it would not be able to save the situation.
But they didn't know that at this time, Chen Ziyun's company had already deployed quickly.
"Company commander, the guard platoon is ready."
As the squad leader of the communications class reported, Chen Ziyun immediately gave the order.
Li Yang's first platoon and Sun Xiong's second platoon will conduct test firings immediately!
Two mountain guns fired at different positions, and a grenade was fired.
The artillery observation post quickly observed the impact point of the bomb and then quickly reported it by phone.
After Chen Ziyun confirmed that it was correct, he began to launch the Dongda company's effective shooting!
"Boom boom boom!"
The four Shanxi orogen cannons launched a fierce bombardment, and each cannon directly fired five rounds of grenades in the shortest time.
In the first round of shelling, a total of twenty shells were fired.
In an instant, the three machine gun positions set up by Yue Junjing in the brigade were instantly covered by gunpowder smoke.
Not long after, bursts of painful screams began to come from the machine gun position.
At this time, the Moon Army's machine gun position was like a hell on earth, with broken arms and limbs everywhere.
Many Type 92 heavy machine guns were overturned to the ground, and some were directly blown into scrap metal!
The first round of shelling of the company directly caused the machine gun squadron of the Jing Zai Brigade to lose its combat effectiveness!
Chapter completed!
