Since the 300 brigade was upgraded to the 300 division, Wang Dezi's artillery battalion has also been upgraded to an artillery regiment. The original 105-caliber artillery and 120-caliber mortars have been replaced by 36 M2 type 15
Five heavy howitzers.
As the caliber of the artillery increased, its power naturally became greater. The 155-caliber howitzer was already considered a suppressive weapon. Now Suri and the others wanted to use these dozens of artillery pieces to cover the Japanese positions.
On the busy artillery position, the gunners were fuzing the artillery shells behind them and carrying them over. The 155-caliber artillery shells are very heavy, weighing about 86 kilograms each, and require two strong loaders.
Clamp it with steel pliers before inserting it into the gun barrel.
"Bang!"
The breech of the gun was opened. At the moment when the breech of the gun was opened, there was only a "click" sound, and the heavy shell was loaded into the barrel. Then, the breech of the gun was closed with a clang, and the gun bolt was locked in place. Finally, the distance was checked.
Angle of attack, lateral offset...
After the gun bolt is closed, the loader immediately reports: "Loading completed!"
The gunners who had already measured the coordinates waved the red flags in their hands and shouted: "Let go!"
The gunner pulled the gun rope...
"Boom boom..."
With the recoil generated when the shell was fired, the gun body suddenly retreated, and the shell instantly flew out of the chamber.
As the artillery shells tore through the air as they flew, they let out shrill screams that enveloped the sky of the Sixteenth Division. The earth was violently convulsing and trembling, testing the nerves of the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Sixteenth Division. These were not the trumpeters shouting in the past.
Instead of the sound of a meal bugle, there was a heavy rain of artillery fire without any warning! The Japanese army was completely unprepared, and countless artillery shells were mixed with fragments of fire and death, and they smashed over like a crumbling mountain.
A series of violent explosions brought thousands of degrees of heat and countless steel fragments tearing apart the already sparse peripheral defense line of the 16th Japanese Division.
The defensive positions of the Japanese army were originally very ordinary. The Japanese, who were accustomed to attacking, may not have expected that the Chinese army would launch an attack on them. Therefore, their defensive positions have always been very sloppy, and the construction quality is comparable to that of later generations.
A shoddy project.
Now that such an ordinary position has been attacked by fierce artillery fire, the fate of the Japanese troops in the fortifications can be imagined.
Unlike the bombing by planes just now, artillery is called the God of War for no reason. It is powerful and sustainable, and can destroy the enemy's inner defenses and confidence with continuous high-intensity bombing.
As bursts of violent explosions sounded, each Japanese soldier was torn into pieces by the strong shock wave and flying shrapnel. Countless limb fragments flew in all directions with the roaring shock wave. Many Japanese soldiers
In this way, the officers and soldiers became lonely ghosts in a foreign land.
"Yes, just hit him like this, hit him hard!"
"He's a bitch, beat him like a bastard!"
On the position, the soldiers who were preparing to launch the attack were excited again. They had just enjoyed the Western view of the bombing by their own aircraft, and now they saw the power of their own artillery. Their excitement was already boiling to the extreme.
The officers and soldiers of the 300th Division were happy, but the officers and soldiers of the 16th Japanese Division were in tragedy. The power of the 155 heavy howitzer was not bad. When a shell hits people and animals within a radius of 40 meters, it will be shocked even if it is not killed.
Death or shock. Many Japanese officers and soldiers lost their lives just after entering the position!
Looking at the Japanese positions shrouded in artillery fire and black smoke, even the two commanders Lin Shiqian and Li Yifeng, who were about to launch the attack, looked in a daze.
For a long time, Su Rui always emphasized one word when talking to them, middle- and senior-level officers. This term is called "fire coverage," and he always took the trouble to talk about it. But as to what the concept of fire coverage is, they have always
The two thought it was the scene they saw in Nanjing and Taierzhuang.
But until today, after seeing such a scene, Li Shuanzi finally understood what "firepower advantage" is and what firepower coverage is. Firepower coverage means firing the most accurate and intensive artillery fire in the shortest time!
Cover the enemy with metal shrapnel! Cover every inch of the enemy. And now, not only the artillery regiment of the division, but also the two artillery battalions of the brigade have joined the battlefield, ranging from 105 caliber to
Nearly a hundred artillery pieces, including 155-caliber howitzers and 120-caliber heavy artillery guns, all joined the chorus.
What flashed on the position at this time were clusters of black smoke and orange fire. The sound arrived a little later, and soon they became an airtight loud noise, accompanied by artillery shells.
The clearing screamed.
The movement was indescribable, as if the entire sky was like a big drum with countless sledgehammers beating and beating on it, causing the gunners' ears to tense up and hurt, and the ground beneath their feet to shake rapidly.
The artillery fire of the 300 Division was so fierce that the Japanese army could not react at all for a while and could only endure it painfully.
In the headquarters of the 16th team, Fujie Keisuke no longer had the energy to curse the Chinese artillery on the opposite side. He was urging the radio operator to keep sending messages to the commander of the Second Army, Higashikami Kananyan Wang Zhong.
Report will be sent.
"Your Excellency King Dongjiu Niguanyan, now our 16th Division is being attacked by the superior artillery fire of the 300th China Division. The fierceness of the Chinese artillery fire is unprecedentedly fierce. Now our division is already with the 30th Infantry Division.
The third regiment has lost contact. The remaining units have suffered huge losses. We are now requesting urgent tactical guidance!"
After receiving the telegram from Fujie Keisuke, King Higashikami Kanahiko was stunned. Is there any mistake? The Chinese army only attacked for an hour, but it actually forced a division commander to start sending requests to his superiors.
A telegram of urgent tactical guidance. Is that 300 Division really the nemesis of the imperial army?
King Dongjiu Ni Guanyan was shocked, but he did not dare to let the Sixteenth Division be surrounded by others, otherwise the base camp would never be able to bypass him.
After walking around the office twice, King Tojiu Niguan Yanyan grabbed the phone on his desk again...
The artillery fire coverage of the 300 Division lasted for half an hour, and the Japanese positions on the front line had long been reduced to ruins.
At eight o'clock in the morning, three red flares flew into the sky, marking the beginning of the 300 Division's general attack.
Countless soldiers jumped out of the trenches with rifles mounted on bayonets and rushed toward the Japanese positions ahead.
All the soldiers were roaring as loudly as they could. Countless soldiers in Type 35 combat uniforms were holding rifles and running desperately on the land covered with craters and shrapnel. Both the soldiers and officers were thinking at this time.
He only had one thought, which was to rush to the Japanese position as quickly as possible, and then use the bayonet in his hand to pick out the Japanese's intestines.
Wu Chengfeng also ran in the middle of the team holding an M1 Garand rifle with a bayonet attached. Surrounding him were four guards holding MP38 submachine guns.
Although Wu Chengfeng was already the commander of the 657th Regiment of the 398th Brigade at this time, he still had to follow the infantry charge according to the infantry drill. According to the infantry drill, what level of charge should be launched and what level of military commander should be
They have to charge with the troops. For example, today's brigade-level charge cannot be stopped. The two brigade commanders Li Yifeng and Lin Shiqian cannot stop them. Now even the two of them are following with submachine guns︻┳═
The middle of the troops charged together, not to mention Wu Chengfeng, the regiment leader.
"Huhuhu..."
Wu Bai Duomi was fully armed and charged down at full speed. Even Wu Chengfeng's strong body could not help but gasp a little.
"kill!"
After rushing to the front and rear of the Japanese position, Wu Chengfeng discovered that the Japanese position had been bombarded by artillery fire. The soldiers at the front were using their submachine guns to shoot forward at Japanese soldiers who were knocked unconscious from time to time.
Sweeped into a sieve.
"Bah!"
A gunshot was heard not far away, and a guard who was originally protecting Wu Chengfeng fell to the ground without saying a word.
Wu Chengfeng turned around and saw a blurry black figure more than fifty meters away from him struggling to pull the gun bolt to fire the second shot.
Without thinking, Wu Chengfeng quickly pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger.
"Pa bang bang..."
The muzzle of the Garand rifle quickly emitted flames and hit the Japanese soldier. The bullets hit the Japanese soldier's head continuously, and the red and white things flew up when the bullet hit the skull.
stand up.
"Everyone is searching carefully, be careful of the little devil pretending to be dead and taking a cold shot!"
After losing a guard, Wu Chengfeng was in a very angry mood. After giving the order to pursue, he also ordered the troops to search carefully.
Seeing that the attacking troops occupied the first Japanese position so quickly, Su Rui, who was watching the battle from behind, showed a look of relief in his eyes. He turned to Liang Zhi and said: "Zi Ran, order the artillery fire to start extending."
"Yes!" Liang Zhi nodded happily and continued to issue the order to advance the artillery fire in depth.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the 398th and 399th brigades charged towards the 16th Division across the mountains and plains. Although the Japanese army was resisting desperately, under the suppression of absolute firepower, the Japanese army's resistance seemed very weak.
Such a scene not only made Su Rui nod his head frequently, but also Wang Gantian, commander of the 55th Army, and others who were watching the battle on another hilltop were dumbfounded.
After watching it for a while, Wang Gantian sighed: "Today, I understand why the Three Hundred Division has become a serious thorn in the side of the Japanese army. With such firepower and attack power, no unit in the current national army can match it."
In comparison, Suri has such a lion, and his future prospects are boundless."
Xu Guangsheng on the side sighed, and said in an inaudible voice, "If such a lion is used on the battlefield of a national war, it will be a blessing to the country, but if it is used improperly..."
His voice became smaller and smaller until finally it was too weak to be heard...
