Chapter 182 Attack on Xinxian County
The observation team of the artillery battalion directly under the 11th Reserve Regiment is currently divided into two. One part follows the Liyangshan Artillery Battery 1, and the other part stays outside the artillery battalion.
At this time, the observation team had quickly established a forward artillery observation post, and the communications corps immediately established contact with the artillery positions for them.
The Second Company of Sun Xiong Mountain Artillery quickly built a covering position, and the five Type 94 mountain artillery pieces were quickly assembled. The black muzzles were aimed at the sky in the distance.
After Liang Guoping conveyed the order from regiment leader Chen Ziyun, Sun Xiong commanded the second battery of mountain artillery to launch an artillery attack.
Based on the data provided by the Artillery Observation Station, those mountain artillery began to adjust and then directly carried out shelling.
For those five Type 94 mountain cannons, do they currently have detailed firing parameter tables provided by the system?
As long as the observation post provides relevant target distance positions, the artillerymen can quickly find the correct shooting parameters and adjust the artillery to accurately fire the artillery.
Grenades were fired one after another, and the artillery position and heavy machine gun position of the 14th Field Brigade were hit.
Two Type 92 heavy machine guns were destroyed on the spot, and a dozen little Japanese fell into a pool of blood instantly.
The artillery position had relatively complete bunkers, so after the shelling, no Moon artillerymen were injured, and no artillery was lost.
The squadron leader of the Yue Army who was commanding the battle did not dare to neglect and immediately organized the troops to transfer artillery and heavy machine guns.
Without the cover of heavy weapons, the fifth battalion actively launched fire interception.
The attack of the 14th Field Brigade was gradually repelled, and not long after they had evacuated, the 15th Field Brigade quickly attacked.
It was a wave-like tactic used by the Lunar Army. The troops in front were repulsed and the troops behind quickly advanced.
They are like waves, attacking one after another, which will bring great psychological pressure to the defenders.
Chen Ziyun knew Wu Ziqiang's troops of the 5th Battalion very well. He knew that the 5th Battalion did not have enough willpower to cope with the wave tactical attack.
If we go east like that, the fifth battalion will be defeated.
He immediately contacted the 7th Battalion's grenade launcher to launch smoke grenades, and the machine gun battery sent fire suppression to the Lunar Army.
The artillery unit launched a blocker bombardment against the 15th Field Battalion to cover the withdrawal of the 5th Battalion.
Is Chen Ziyun prepared to rely on high ground for defense, thereby attracting and containing the Moon troops facing him, and covering the first battle group for operations?
"Boom boom boom."
"Da da da."
"Everything."
Heavy machine guns, grenade mortars, mountain cannons and other weapons launched fierce fire.
The Fifth Battalion also began to receive orders to withdraw. Wu Ziqiang directed each company to alternate cover and gradually withdraw towards the high ground.
When the Little Japanese Artillery Troops discovered that the Fifth Battalion was withdrawing, they immediately launched a fierce shelling without any hesitation.
Eight field guns and eight Liao-made artillery bombardments continued, and the retreating 5th Battalion once again suffered casualties.
Those troops were dispersed and took turns covering the evacuation, so the casualties caused by the Lunar Army's shelling were not very large.
By four o'clock in the morning, the fifth battalion had withdrawn to the high ground on the west side, and their troops had a fighting strength of more than 500 people.
Although the Fourth Independent Composite Brigade does not have the designation of a composite brigade, its troops are not field troops.
Especially when the main force of the 11th Regiment was prepared to face the little devils, they were greatly strengthened by eight Liao-made artillery pieces.
Among the eight Liao-made artillery pieces, whether it is a 77MM field gun or a 100MM howitzer, they are both field guns with good performance.
The 100MM howitzer has strong lethality.
"Liao-made Type 14 77MM field gun, Liao-made Type 14 100MM howitzer."
"According to the news from the arsenal, those artillery pieces are all parts imported from abroad and are assembled in the Fengtian arsenal."
"The quality far exceeds that of many artillery pieces, including those of the Central Army. They are all good things."
"There were hundreds of artillery pieces, but a small number were brought outside the pass, and most of them were captured by the little Japanese outside the pass."
"Can we please add a few more howitzers to our brigade? Hey hey hey, then we can compete with the little Japs as a security division."
Liang Guoping, the commander of the artillery battalion, came to Chen Ziyun. He looked into the distance and said with emotion on his face.
Chen Ziyun was a little surprised when he heard those words. He obviously didn't expect Liang Guoping to know so much about Liao-made artillery.
Of course, he didn't know that after the Fengtian Arsenal was occupied by the Moon Army, many technicians and workers wandered outside the customs.
Could Yan Laoxi have taken in many of those personnel to expand the overall strength of the Taiyuan Arsenal?
Liang Guoping was an artillery officer, so it is not surprising to know those circumstances.
"The Moon Army is resting and recuperating. It seems they are willing to continue attacking."
"Battle Commander Liang, the Liao-made 100MM howitzer has a range of more than 7,000 meters. If the Moon Army wants to ask it to participate in the war, it will definitely move forward and set up artillery positions."
"Let the observation team find a way to pinpoint their specific location and try to destroy those Liao-made howitzers, otherwise they will pose too great a threat."
"The Lunar Army's artillery will also adopt sheltered positions. If the observation team cannot find it, they will delineate a rough area and let the infantry launch reconnaissance."
Chen Ziyun raised the telescope to observe, and then directly gave the order to Dongda.
He originally wanted to say that he was simply a prodigal, and even if he ran away, he would blow up whatever he couldn't take away.
But he didn't say it out loud, otherwise Keke would be snitched by Liang Guoping.
I don't know if all the big guys in the local army have the same problem.
The Northeastern Army withdrew from the Pass, and the Fengtian Arsenal was equivalent to giving a leg to the little Japanese.
Nowadays, the shortage of artillery in various units is very serious, and the Shanxi-Sui Army troops are doing very well.
When the artillery units of other units are most exaggerated, they need to be mobilized in two or three days and assigned to different units for combat.
But if the little Japs were at the Fengtian Arsenal outside the customs, they would have captured thousands of finished artillery pieces!
There are countless weapons and ammunition, and even tanks and airplanes have become trophies for the little devils.
Those guys, please give me the Eighth Route Army, so that the little devil can easily gain a foothold in Shanxi Province?
Yan Laoxi's situation is pretty good. The Taiyuan Arsenal has been relocated, but the Japs are fighting too fast.
As a result, the Taiyuan Arsenal did not have a considerable amount of equipment and materials, which directly became the trophies of the little devils.
Thinking of those things, Chen Ziyun felt unspeakably aggrieved.
After all, the Jinsui Army in Bu Nao was at Xinkou, but it was too far away to fight with the Japs.
In the battle outside the customs, are you really aggrieved and open the door for your mother? You are so aggrieved.
"No, group seats." Liang Guoping replied immediately.
After the artillery battalion was deployed, Chen Ziyun began to adjust the deployment and defense of the fifth and seventh battalions.
He went directly to the company officers and gave combat orders directly to those company commanders.
Of course, if the commander of the 7th Battalion did not disapprove of Zhang Fuli, he would not have to go to such trouble.
When the company commanders returned after receiving their combat missions, Chen Ziyun couldn't help but sigh.
He felt that being a human being in two lifetimes, no matter where Bu Cong was, it would be too damn depressing.
Is there no other way? After all, even Chu Yunfei cannot directly deal with Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun.
Chen Ziyun asked if he could kill them. I'm afraid even Chu Yunfei wouldn't let him go.
After all, he knew that those two people would rebel sooner or later, but Chu Yunfei didn't know, and Chen Ziyun had no evidence.
The only good news in Bu Nao is that after the battle at Zhuangmo Town, many officers and soldiers of the 7th Battalion misunderstood Chen Ziyun's orders and could not fully implement them.
Chen Ziyun can take his time and completely oust Zhang Fuyin bit by bit, thus kicking him out of the 7th Battalion.
Human relationships, thousands of years of inheritance, can change at any time.
Time is passing, and the scorching hot weather feels like entering a steam oven.
The corpse not far away gave off a fishy smell, and countless flies fell on it.
Chen Ziyun's military uniform was already soaked with sweat, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were shaking.
The Moon troops were not anxious to attack, they were organizing their troops.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, the officers and soldiers quickly strengthened their positions and actively deployed defensive arrangements.
As the leader of the group, Chen Ziyun was not idle and continued to conduct inspections.
"Where are the traffic trenches? If we don't dig the traffic trenches, the little Japanese cannonballs will hit us during the transfer. I'll have to use my body to block the shrapnel!"
"Please take your towel with you. The gas bombs are coming. I don't have time to look for towels!"
"Battle Commander Zhang, he thinks it would be great if my battalion headquarters is directly located at the independent 48th Brigade station in the Yangcun area. It is safer there."
"He doesn't expect you to have the courage to go to the front line to take command. Can my battalion headquarters at least be able to communicate with each company in a timely manner?"
"Let me see for myself whether my place is safe and how long the phone line is. A single shelling attack by the Moon Army can interrupt all communications with the 7th Battalion!"
"Officers have the responsibilities of officers. I beg you that I cannot command the seventh battalion. Get out of here as soon as possible and don't murder the lives of the officers and soldiers of the East Army there."
"I don't think it's okay if the troops suffer heavy casualties. They can be supplemented anyway."
