In the dark night, there are shining tracer bullets everywhere, making whistling sounds as they cut through the air, and illumination bombs that suddenly explode and emit a frightening light in the night sky.
"kill"
The captain who led the paratroopers into the Japanese position let out a shout and took the lead to kill towards the center of the position. The muzzle of the Ant submachine gun in his hand spurted out streams of hot flames.
Under the fierce attack of the paratroopers, the Japanese troops on the position were quickly cleared away, and several groups of paratroopers also met.
"Haha, I was wondering just now, who was on the kid's butt? It turned out to be you. I said I couldn't find you after I landed, but you ran behind me.
"The captain smiled and punched Wang Yilong on the shoulder.
Wang Yilong touched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Lianzuo, it's you. I didn't go over in time to support you just now. Don't be angry."
Captain Qian said nonchalantly, "Come here and support me. What are you supporting me for? Are you going to eat dirt in that depression with me while being pressed by the Japanese?"
"Okay, stop talking and blow up these cannons quickly. We have to move forward." The captain waved his hand and was about to let people blow up the cannons.
"Wait a minute." Wang Yilong pulled out Captain Qian and said, "Come on, it's a pity that this kid's cannon just blew up. Our airborne division doesn't have heavy equipment. Aren't you from the artillery department? Why don't you just bring it with you?"
Let a few brothers who are good at artillery stay here. Firstly, they can fire at the enemy positions nearby, and secondly, they can also support our brothers."
Captain Qian nodded, "You have a flexible mind. Well, I'll stay here while you and your brothers continue to attack."
"Yes." Wang Yilong left a radio station with Captain Qian and led his brothers to continue the assault.
While the airborne divisions were fighting bloody battles outside Dingzhou City, the 15th Group Army led by Liu Yecheng also crossed the Yalu River from Dandong and advanced towards Dingzhou.
Liu Yecheng stood by the bridge and watched the soldiers riding in trucks and dragging large-caliber artillery behind them. He felt indescribable joy in his heart. Once upon a time, the troops he led all used millet plus rifles and
The Congress Party's army and the Japanese army were fighting, and now they finally exchanged the shotgun with the cannon.
At this time, Lu Gang, deputy commander of the group army, also rushed over and smiled at Liu Yecheng from a distance: "Old man, the 1st Armored Division just came to report that they have arrived in Sinuiju and are launching an attack on the Japanese army in Sinuiju.
, it is expected that the channel will be opened within three hours."
"Okay" Liu Yecheng agreed: "Tell Bai Yingliao that if the road cannot be opened in three hours, I will remove him from his post."
"Haha" Lu Gang laughed, "Old man, the ones holding Sinuiju are a Japanese brigade and a field artillery regiment. If we could take it in three days before, we would be laughing. Now you are just
If you give someone three hours, you are too stingy."
Liu Yecheng also laughed, "He, Bai Yingchao, has more than 300 tanks, more than 200 combat vehicles and more than 300 armored personnel carriers. If he can't take Sinuiju in three hours, he won't be able to do it as the division commander."
I think it’s difficult to attack at night now, so if it were during the day, I would give him two hours at most.”
Liu Yecheng, who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union, only entered the National Defense Forces and felt that the large-scale combat he had learned before was finally put to use. Now his 300,000-strong army of the 15th Army has strong horses, armored divisions, and motorized troops.
The infantry division and the air force are all available. Before departure, the Ministry of National Defense informed me that when we arrived in Dingzhou, we would also have the cooperation of the navy's large-caliber naval guns. Compared with the days when we spent all day wandering around the valley, it would be more than a hundred times stronger.
.
Lu Gang patted Liu Yecheng on the shoulder, "Okay, old man, let's get in the car too. Zhang Lingfu's airborne division must be fighting very hard now."
"Okay, let's go. I want to see if the guy who keeps shouting that we are airborne troops and should be surrounded by nature can fight."
"Car No. 308, are you fucking masturbating? The enemy's firepower is down there. If you still can't hit the next shell accurately, I don't mind sending you back to the boot camp to be reinvigorated."
On the road from Sinuiju to Jeongju, in a Siberian Tiger tank, Cheng Kai saw through the observation mirror that his tank fired two shots in a row but failed to hit the target. He was so angry that he dialed the channel and cursed loudly.
The battle in Sinuiju has been going on for an hour and a half. The 1st Armored Division, under the command of the division commander Bai Yingliao, has launched three consecutive attacks on the Japanese positions at both ends of the only road leading to Dingzhou held by the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army
Relying on the high ground on both sides and taking advantage of the terrain, they fought from a high position and refused to retreat. The Japanese army also moved dozens of 95-type 75mm field guns to the hillside and bombarded them from top to bottom. More than a dozen tanks had been beaten by the Japanese army in this way.
The field artillery hit the top of the tank, causing the vehicle to crash and killing people. However, because the target could not be seen clearly at night, even with the help of night vision goggles, the direct-aiming artillery on the tank alone was not effective against the well-concealed anti-tank weapons of the Japanese army.
There is still no good solution for gun positions.
Bai Yingxiao, who was in a Type 63 command vehicle, learned about the situation and immediately dialed the channel of the artillery regiment, "Artillery regiment, artillery regiment, where have you reached?"
"Sir, we are still thirteen kilometers away from Sinuiju. The road conditions here are so bad that our self-propelled artillery cannot increase the speed at all."
"I don't need a reason. If I don't see your shells falling on the Japanese positions within half an hour, I will withdraw you."
Then Bai Jiying dialed another channel, "Third regiment, spread out the tanks and quickly get the infantry to get out of the car to assist in the attack. The enemy's firepower is too strong and the infantry will get out of the car and the casualties will be too high. I tell you, Wang Hongyong, if I can't see it within three minutes,
When the infantry dismounts and forms an attack, I will ask you to dismount the tank and become an infantryman."
With a snap, he put down the microphone. Wang Hongyong untied the buckle on his collar and thought for a moment before grabbing the headset again: "Cheng Kai, your battalion immediately occupied the terrain and opened fire on the Japanese infantry positions to cover the infantry.
Brother's Charge."
After receiving the order, Cheng Kai immediately ordered the more than 20 Siberian Tiger tanks in the battalion to slowly retreat to the bunker behind them. While retreating, they fired at the Japanese infantry positions. High-explosive bombs fell on the Japanese army.
Waves of dust and mist filled the sky from the position.
The infantrymen in the armored vehicles took the opportunity to get out of the car and charge instead of the tanks. They quickly approached the Japanese position by taking advantage of the rugged hilly terrain on both sides of the road.
The Japanese troops defending on both sides of the road were anxious, "Quick, quick, attack with grenade launchers."
The small grenades launched from the "Boom Boom" grenades landed densely on the infantry's attack formation, and soldiers kept falling down screaming.
At this time, the Grasshopper infantry fighting vehicle behind ignored the threat of direct fire from the Japanese Type 95 75mm field artillery, drove to the front and quickly turned its rapid-fire cannon, aiming at the Japanese position and launching a burst of bombardment.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong"
The 25mm rapid-fire cannon fired very fast, with a rate of 20 rounds per minute. It immediately suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese infantry.
"Hurry up and knock out all those infantry fighting vehicles on the road, otherwise we will be doomed." I saw dozens of Chinese infantry fighting vehicles lined up on the road, their muzzles turning and firing at the Japanese machine gun positions one by one.
, Japanese commander Colonel Kentaro Miura, who could see clearly from the hidden command post, was very angry. Although the caliber of these infantry fighting vehicles was not as good as that of the tanks below, which was only 25 mm, their rate of fire was very fast.
, a series of shells hit as soon as the cannon was fired, and most of the Japanese soldiers on the position died under their muzzles. And the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun hit them like itching. In desperation, he
Quickly order the artillerymen to turn their muzzles and be sure to eliminate these infantry fighting vehicles that pose the greatest threat to the infantry.
The Japanese artillerymen quickly turned their muzzles and fired at the Grasshopper Chariot on the road.
"Woo!" A sharp whistling sound suddenly reached the battlefield. The slightly experienced soldiers on the battlefield immediately threw themselves on the ground. They knew that such a sound could only be made by a large-caliber howitzer. Before you become invulnerable,
If Superman had heard such a roar before, he had better lie down immediately.
"Boom boom" came two loud sounds.
Two plumes of black smoke rose from both ends of the road, and the two artillery pieces that were busy turning their muzzles had disappeared.
On the road not far away, two large-caliber self-propelled artillery were lined up side by side. This was a closed 155mm self-propelled artillery developed by the Chahar Arsenal based on the chassis of the Type 63 armored vehicle.
As the lightning warfare theory gradually matured in the Chinese army and the scale of the armored forces expanded, the armored forces urgently needed a large-caliber artillery that could provide artillery support for tanks at any time during wartime. Therefore, the equipment department asked the ordnance industry
The company put forward an order and finally the newly established Huangshi Ordnance Company took the lead in making a prototype. Due to time constraints, Huangshi Company's engineers came up with the idea of installing a turret on the site of the Type 63 armored vehicle. After two days,
After months of emergency development, this 155mm self-propelled artillery was produced. After testing, the equipment department was not sure. The first batch of orders was not many, only 80 vehicles. Unexpectedly, after being released to the troops,
This kind of self-propelled artillery that can be fired and moved is very popular with the troops. Finally, the Equipment Department placed an order for 500 vehicles from Huangshi Ordnance Company. The First Armored Division was also allocated more than 80 units. Today is this self-propelled artillery.
The day I participated in actual combat for the first time.
"Boom boom boom"
More and more self-propelled artillery came and bombarded the Japanese positions at close range.
