"Batalion Commander, this is the will form for our entire battalion. It has been filled out." The deputy battalion commander handed a large thick envelope to Lei Xianghe.
"You don't need to give this to me. You give it to the people in the logistics department." Lei Xianghe waved his hand without even looking at it, and the deputy battalion commander took the envelope away.
He turned around and looked at the dense rows of soldiers behind him, looking very carefully, as if he wanted to remember everyone's faces, because he knew that after this battle, there would definitely be many familiar faces from this world.
disappeared.
Perseverance, sacrifice, and dedication! This is the mission of our generation! Everything we do is for the prosperity of our country! The rise of our nation!"
Lei Xianghe remembered what Gao Hongming once mentioned in his lecture. Forty-five million Chinese people have paid huge sacrifices and prices for the rejuvenation of the country and nation, and what they have to do is not to let this sacrifice be paid in vain.
All the losses suffered must be repaid by the Japanese ten times or a hundred times, but all of this must have a prerequisite, which is to defeat the Japanese.
In this attack, Gao Hongming only dispatched three infantry battalions, four artillery battalions, one armored battalion and the entire new regiment of the Eighth Route Army from the Liantai Militia Regiment, totaling about 10,000 troops. The 108th Division was conservatively estimated to have 15,000 troops.
10,000 versus 15,000, and they still took the initiative to attack.
At first glance, this was an extremely asymmetrical battle, but Gao Hongming and Ding Wei decided to take the initiative in order to take the initiative in their own hands.
History should remember this moment. At 7:00 on May 2, 1942 AD, after half a month of confrontation, a local armed group called Liantai Militia, together with a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, took the initiative with inferior forces.
Launched an active attack on the positions of two Japanese divisions.
Destruction manifests itself in nature as natural disasters, and in humans it manifests as war. Regardless of whether it is acknowledged or not, since the birth of mankind, the evil of war has been released at the same time.
It happened so frequently that peace became a luxury on the table of history.
War has become a common occurrence that accompanies human survival and development. What nature and society have in common is that childbirth is accompanied by severe pain, and destruction breeds new life. Whether it is destruction or creation, a strange and bright new world will emerge, introducing
War, a killing machine equipped with modern technology, is definitely more horrifying, beautiful, cruel and exciting than the recreation of nature.
"Load!"
Following the shouts of Qiu Fusheng, commander of the Fourth Artillery Battalion, the loud shouts of the gunners rang out on the position. The shells lying flat on the track were then rolled by the ammunition hand to the bottom of the hoisting hanger. The 96-kilogram shell was
After the hanging clamp was clamped, the ammunition hand operating the lifting sling immediately pulled the steel chain sling quickly, and the 96-kg artillery shell was immediately hoisted, and then immediately rotated the hoisting hanger to place the shell on the loading trolley.
The burly and sturdy loader immediately used the feeding rod to push the shell into the barrel of the flattened 203mm heavy howitzer, and then a medicine bag weighing 11.3 kilograms was also loaded into the barrel. The entire loading process was like a training session in the past.
It was also completed within a minute. After the reloading was completed, the short and thick gun body was once again shaken up, pointing directly at the somewhat gloomy sky.
The Fourth Artillery Battalion is a newly established artillery unit. It is also the artillery with the largest caliber owned by the Liantai Militia. The battalion has a total of 12 M115 203mm heavy howitzers.
By the way, this artillery and its improved version were still in service in the Gulf Army in another time and space until the 21st century, and were used by the Gulf as coastal defense artillery. It can be said to be a very long-lived artillery piece.
"put!"
Following Qiu Fusheng's loud shout, the muzzles of 12 203-caliber artillery erupted with dazzling flames and thick smoke almost simultaneously.
Needless to say, the 230mm heavy howitzer makes a huge noise when it is fired. It is almost difficult to describe it in words. It is as if the whole world has turned into a big drum, with countless sledgehammers beating and beating on it. It is so shocking.
The artillerymen's ears were so tight that the ground beneath their feet was shaking rapidly.
After 12 rounds of projectiles weighing nearly 100 kilograms were fired, there was an airtight loud noise accompanied by the scream of the artillery shells. Then the Japanese frontline was completely covered by clusters of white smoke and orange explosions.
Shrouded in red firelight.
When this batch of artillery shells roared into the Japanese army's forward position with a screeching sound, artillery observers could see 12 extremely huge regiments of smoke rising from the front of the Japanese army's position, composed of explosion smoke and deathly fire. The rapidly expanding smoke cloud reached straight
Soaring hundreds of meters into the sky, the fragments of corpses blown up in the smoke were thrown hundreds of meters away, and the Japanese trenches hit by the shells collapsed.
Although this artillery weighs 13.471 tons and requires 14 people to serve it, and has poor maneuverability, it is regarded by Gao Hongming as the most effective weapon. This artillery can accurately hit 96-kilogram shells up to 16 kilometers away.
Enemy forts and trenches.
When it explodes, all fortifications and buildings within a radius of 60 meters will be destroyed. Even if human targets without bunker protection within 200 to 300 meters are not killed by high-speed steel fragments, the violent shock wave will be enough to damage their internal organs, causing them to be injured.
Lose combat effectiveness.
The commander of the 108th Division, Shimomoto Xiongya, who had just gotten up and was about to have breakfast, was stunned by the sudden violent explosion. He hurriedly called the orderly and asked him to ask about the situation. At this time, his chief of staff broke in, looking panicked.
He said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the... Chinese people have attacked. They have used heavy artillery to attack our forward positions. Their artillery shells are covering every inch of our front line."
"N...Nani, no...impossible! How could China take the initiative to attack us?" After hearing the news, Xia Yuanxiong Mi was stunned. He had never thought that with his superior strength, China would
People actually dared to jump out of a solid bunker and attack them. Aren't they afraid of being severely damaged and eventually losing their position if they were stumped?
"Ring ring ring..."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese are shelling every inch of our frontline with unprecedented artillery fire. Their artillery fire is extremely powerful. Our trenches cannot withstand this level of shelling. Countless soldiers have been buried alive by collapsed fortifications.
The call came from the 117th Regiment Commander, Colonel Hakubu Nojiro. This commander, who was always known for his calmness, looked extremely panicked on the phone at the moment, like a frightened geisha. He even couldn't even speak such embarrassing words as tactical guidance.
