Twenty field guns were divided into two artillery groups and continuously bombarded the Japanese defenses.
It was said to be shelling, but in fact it was more like military training.
Because no one knows how to operate a cannon.
It was all under Zhang Chu's guidance that he rushed to the shelves and then used a lot of practical exercises to hone his skills.
Since there is no time for training, actual combat is training.
Each person's level will improve somewhat if he fires a thousand or hundreds of rounds of artillery shells.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosions continued.
The remaining Japanese invaders were hiding in the fortifications and did not dare to show up.
"idiot!"
"When will the shelling stop?"
"Why do the Chinese have so many artillery shells? Do they pay for their artillery shells?"
"Stop it quickly, I'm going to be blown up..."
"When will we stop..."
Many Japanese invaders mourned secretly.
They never thought that such a day would come.
There will be endless bombardment.
The shelling made their lives worse than death.
They did not dare to take even one step away from the fortifications. Otherwise, they would be killed if they did not go more than thirty meters.
There are too many artillery shells on Tubal Road.
It felt like hundreds of shells were coming down every minute, blowing everything to pieces.
What kind of shelling is this?
"Commander Zhang, do you really need to fire so many artillery shells?" Cai Dapeng felt a little heartbroken.
Cannonballs are very expensive. Don't waste them like this.
A round of shelling, coupled with hundreds of rounds of artillery shells, is already a luxury. Continuing to fight would be a waste.
How many rounds have been fired now?
How many thousand rounds?
Tens of thousands of hair?
Cai Dapeng didn't even dare to calculate. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
"yes……"
"How about we stop temporarily?"
Yang Dalong also felt a little pain in his body. He also felt that the shells were too dense.
In fact, there is absolutely no need for this.
Just give it a few shots intermittently.
"Keep fighting!"
"Enough cannonball tubes!"
Zhang Chu was unwavering.
Nothing. Rich. Just so arrogant.
One shell only costs 15 yuan. Ten thousand shells only cost 150,000! What can't you afford?
Keep your head down and fight!
Hit hard!
Keep beating until the artilleryman vomits!
We don't have many people, but we have enough shells.
Objectively speaking, the lethality of the 75mm field gun is average, especially the indirect lethality. The effective killing radius is about thirty meters.
Basically, as long as the Japanese invaders were hiding in the trenches, they would not be killed.
There are very few solid fortifications that cannot be blasted away by 75mm artillery shells. Its shell penetration is also insufficient.
The lack of power of a single cannonball can only be made up by quantity.
If it doesn't kill you after being shocked once, then it will be shocked ten times, a hundred times...
"Sou Ga..."
"Tubal Road only has small cannons! They don't have big cannons!"
"idiot!"
"Hold on!"
After a brief panic, the Japanese brigade leader thought he had discovered the "fatal flaw" of Tubal Road.
All Tubal Road has are small-caliber artillery. The shells are not powerful enough.
As the northwest gateway to Peiping, Changping's fortifications are relatively strong. Many of the fortifications are built of reinforced concrete.
The 75mm field artillery cannot blast away these fortifications.
This is what the Japanese army relies on.
As long as these fortifications are still there, it will be impossible for Tubal Road to attack them.
Reinforcements will arrive soon.
So, will Tubalu have more powerful weapons?
Definitely not...
"boom!"
Suddenly, a short loud noise was heard.
Immediately, I saw a bunker being blown open. The violent explosion caused debris to fly everywhere.
The brigade leader's expression suddenly changed.
Damn it!
That's a reinforced concrete bunker!
It is one of the strongest core bunkers! How could it be blown open?
impossible……
It is impossible for a 75mm mountain gun to explode.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was another loud noise.
The bunker exploded again.
This time, the Japanese brigade leader finally saw clearly. It was indeed the reinforced concrete bunker that had been bombarded.
The strong fortress collapsed with a sudden crash and turned into ruins.
Damn it!
Killed in two shots?
He quickly raised his telescope and carefully searched for the culprit.
With great difficulty, we finally managed to find the culprit who bombarded the bunker through the heavy fog.
It's a very burly cannon.
Because of the distance, it is impossible to tell what model it is. But there is no doubt that its gun mount is very large. Much larger than ordinary gun mounts.
idiot!
What kind of artillery piece is this from Tubal Road?
Where did it come from?
So powerful?
Tubalu actually has such powerful artillery? Why haven’t I heard of it at all?
"boom!"
"boom!"
The remaining bunkers were also subjected to continuous bombing.
It's all thanks to that cannon.
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
The brigade commander hurriedly ordered artillery to counterattack.
The Japanese artillery also discovered the artillery piece. They concentrated their firepower and bombed it indiscriminately.
The Japanese invaders in Changping also had 75mm mountain guns. Twelve of them.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
In an instant, the area around the 88 gun turned into a sea of flames.
Zhang Chu hurriedly jumped down from the 88 cannon and looked for a place to hide.
The Japanese artillery was quite powerful.
So many shells fell around the 88 gun.
However, for the 88 gun, the 75mm shells are completely ineffective and will not be damaged at all.
Okay, let you explode!
I'll blow up yours too!
Zhang Chu came to the artillery position and prepared to counterattack.
The Japanese invaders' artillery position was completely exposed. It was time for a counterattack.
Adjust range.
Focus on launching.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
A large number of artillery shells fell on the Japanese artillery positions.
This time, it was the Japanese artillery's turn to suffer. After a bombardment, half of the 12 mountain artillery owned by the Japanese were blown up. The remaining ones saw that the opportunity was not good and hurriedly dispersed and retreated.
"idiot!"
The Japanese brigade leader was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
The artillery fire on Tubal Road was so fierce and so accurate that half of the mountain artillery was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
However, the remaining Japanese mountain artillery still posed a great threat to the Eighth Route Army through dispersed shooting methods.
The leader of the Japanese brigade finally did not dare to underestimate Tubal Road.
When the Japanese invaders worked hard and prepared for a fierce battle with Tubal Road, they did achieve results.
There is no doubt that the Japanese invaders are still very tenacious in combat.
They fought fiercely with the Eighth Route Army.
Positions need to be fought over inch by inch. Many positions need to be fought over again and again.
Time flows quickly.
"idiot!"
Kenji Doihara finally arrived in Changping.
The scene in front of him shocked him. It was a complete mess.
A large number of fortifications were destroyed.
Basically, all visible fortifications have been demolished.
There is dust everywhere.
There is fog everywhere.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander..."
Genzo Sagawa, the commander of the Japanese 12th Independent Mixed Brigade, came up to see him.
To my surprise, he turned out to be his old boss.
Previously, Genzo Sagawa was the commander of the 14th Division. Due to his meritorious service in combat, he was promoted to the brigade commander of the independent mixed brigade.
Coincidentally, the regiment he led before was the 111th Infantry Regiment.
In other words, they are all acquaintances.
Tada Shun's arrangement can be regarded as well-intentioned.
Arrange Doihara Kenji and his men together so that if the battle fails, he will have no excuse.
The troop is your original troop.
The subordinates are your former subordinates.
What other reasons can you find fault with? If you fail, it means you are incompetent...
"Sagawa-kun!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Kenji Doihara is in a good mood.
I am very satisfied with Tada Shun's arrangement.
He is also full of confidence in the battle before him. It seems that he has returned to his original shining moment.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I am incompetent..."
"How's the battle going now?"
"Your Excellency, the division commander, there is a powerful attack artillery on Tubal Road, and most of our army's fortifications have been destroyed..."
"What powerful attack cannon?"
"Division Commander, please look!"
Genzo Sagawa points to the target.
It took Kenji Doihara a while to see the 88 gun.
At the same time, it witnessed its power.
It is indeed very capable of destruction. One shot can penetrate a half-meter-thick reinforced concrete fortification.
He couldn't help but frown.
Tubal Road actually has such powerful artillery?
It's unbelievable!
"boom!"
The 88 gun continued to fire.
As long as there is an obstacle in front of you, it will be a direct shot.
Indestructible.
Unstoppable.
"Where is our artillery?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we do not have heavy artillery."
"Where's the aviation force?"
"It is said that the dispatch of aviation forces requires the approval of the aviation director..."
"Baga! How can we fight here?"
Kenji Doihara was annoyed.
How to destroy enemy artillery without aviation support?
The director’s approval is also required!
By the time the director approved it, Changping had already fallen.
His honor must never be tarnished.
Those trash in the aviation force must be dispatched immediately!
"Call me!"
"Tie!"
The brigade leader hurriedly handed over the phone.
Telephone calls in Changping and Peking are still open.
"I am Kenji Doihara..."
"idiot!"
"I am Kenji Doihara! Head of the Intelligence Section of the base camp!"
