The mountain artillery squadron directly under the Bantian Regiment was bombarded by Chen Ziyun one after another and paid a heavy price in casualties.
In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, after the death of the squadron leader, Captain Sakai, the remaining 40 or so Japanese Japs evacuated in disgrace.
Originally, there was a second lieutenant in the Moon Army, but on the way, the second lieutenant felt that he had a heavy responsibility and committed suicide directly.
Are there strict regulations for the artillery of the Moon Army, and are there heavy responsibilities for discarding artillery?
Therefore, the person with the highest rank in the mountain artillery squadron is Captain Cao.
Not long after, Commander Cao came to the coalition headquarters in fear.
"Liant Commander Ge Dong, their squadron leader has set up an exposed position in the open space, preparing to use this to frighten the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"But there were elite artillery units in the Jinsui Army's position. They secretly attacked them and caught them off guard."
"They mastered the precise shooting of Zhuyuan, and the shells fell completely on their heads, causing heavy casualties to the mountain artillery squadron."
"Captain Gedong, that is completely different from the artillery combat tactics of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. He doubts whether they must have received assistance from the artillery of the Central Army!"
"The Jinsui Army is good at direct-aiming shooting, covering positions, and the tactics of indirect shooting are not something they can master in a short period of time."
"And being able to shoot with such precision will definitely make the Central Army an extremely elite artillery force!"
Chief Cao saluted Nobute Sakata and hurried to start the report.
Nobuyuki Sakata frowned, raised his telescope and looked at the new formation in front, his face full of solemnity.
The mountain artillery squadron had to guard against the 358th Regiment, but at this time they had already suffered a devastating blow.
Moreover, the remnants of the mountain artillery squadron evacuated in panic, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were abandoned at the artillery position. Those items could not be seized.
In addition, the frontal position has not been able to be broken through for a long time. Once the 358th Regiment attacks from behind, the Sakata Regiment will definitely be attacked from a flank.
"Order, the second brigade and the third brigade each deploy two infantry squadrons and quickly advance towards the artillery position."
"Tell them how much it cost Bufu to pay, and never allow the artillery positions to abandon their weapons and equipment and be captured by the Jinsui Army!"
"Contact the First Battalion, assign them the rapid-fire artillery squadron directly under the wing headquarters, and tell them that they must break through the frontal position in a short time!"
Nobuyuki Sakata had a serious expression on his face, and he began to issue combat orders.
"Hi, Commander Ge Dong." Lieutenant Commander Pu You, the commander of the regiment, rushed to agree to Dong Lai's request and immediately arranged for communications troops to make contact.
After Higashi received the combat order, Sakata Nobutsu stood up. He took a telescope and began to observe the mountain artillery squadron position behind him.
"There is no sign of the 358th Regiment being mobilized. Don't they plan to take advantage of the victory and attack?"
"The artillery of the Jinsui Army will not have such strength. They cannot calculate and shoot Zhu Yuan so accurately in a short period of time!"
"Who are the people directing that artillery operation, and what do they want?"
After some observation, seeing the silence at the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Sakata Nobutsu murmured to himself.
How could he know that Chen Ziyun and a company of troops had already advanced to the designated position.
First platoon leader Li Yang quickly began to assemble the artillery, while second platoon leader Sun Xiong had already deployed two mountain cannons to set up a covering position.
Chen Ziyun quickly made calculations through the artillery azimuth map, and quickly found the corresponding distance parameters through the paper card shooting parameter table.
Immediately afterwards, the 129 mountain guns of the second platoon and fourth squad once again became the benchmark gun.
Once the test shot was fired, the grenade quickly left the barrel.
The little Japs at the Sakata Wing Headquarters were busy, and a grenade landed directly on the Wing Headquarters.
A deafening explosion sounded, and more than a dozen Moon soldiers were hit. Some died on the spot, and some wailed in pain.
Nobuyuki Sakata squatted on the ground, and many little devils protected him closely.
Can the Moon Army have strict regulations? Even if they stop for a while during the march, they will immediately build a position.
At this time, the wing headquarters was naturally reinforced. Although a grenade hit, it also caused casualties to the little Japanese.
But if you want to kill Sakata Nobutsuru accurately, it is impossible to do it.
"On Bagaya Road, the enemy's artillery advanced forward and began to shell the regiment headquarters."
"Disperse and evade immediately, and protect the commander of the unit, Gedong!"
"Contact the First Battalion, give up the eight-pronged attack, quickly withdraw, search for and attack the enemy artillery units!"
Lieutenant Colonel Ura Tomoe of the regiment was covered in mud. With a panic expression on his face, he rushed to the east to give orders.
Those little devils all have combat experience. They know that when encountering artillery fire, the best way is to take cover immediately.
If you get bombarded and run around like a headless fly, you will die faster.
Several Yue soldiers quickly took Nobutsu Sakata into hiding, but after the first test firing was completed.
Sun Xiong's second platoon's two Jin orogen cannons directly launched effective fire under Chen Ziyun's personal command.
A full ten rounds of artillery shells were fired one after another, and for a while Sakata Nobutsu's regiment headquarters was under a blanket bombardment.
Not long after, Li Yang's platoon, which had finished assembling the two mountain cannons, quickly joined the battle.
Four Shanxi orogen cannons opened fire one after another, and fired grenades one after another towards the coalition headquarters.
Lieutenant Commander Uratomo was hiding outside a bunker, but with the continuous shelling, the temporary bunker began to collapse.
As a grenade exploded, several pieces of shrapnel came quickly and hit him directly in the chest.
Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo died on the spot before he could cry out in pain.
Nobuyuki Sakata was closely protected by several Lunar troops, but he was bombarded one after another.
Grenades continued to explode nearby, and the improvised wing headquarters built by the Japs was naturally unable to provide effective protection.
Several nearby Yuejun soldiers were connected to the silk screen, and Sakata Nobutsu's body was completely covered with blood donations from other little devils.
He gripped the saber in panic and looked around cautiously.
But the first grenade landed not far away, and a piece of shrapnel sliced directly through his throat.
Bright red blood spurted out directly. Sakata Nobutsu's eyes widened and he hurriedly covered the wound with his legs.
But whether the shrapnel from close-range artillery shells was very lethal, Sakata Nobutsu felt that his thoughts were becoming more and more blurred.
Gradually, he lost all signs of life and ended his sinful life.
At this time, Chen Ziyun was in a continuous position, and four mountain cannons were shelling one after another. The barrels of the cannons had already become hot.
Several gunners skillfully took the wet quilt and spread it directly on top of the gun barrel.
"Hit, all hit!"
"Company Commander, you...you are simply not a master of artillery!"
"It's great, is it really great? I have been shooting mountain guns for more than ten years, and I have never been so happy!"
"One hundred and four artillery shells, not a single shell was wasted, all hit the target."
"Such a hit rate is something that is unimaginable even in our dreams."
"Company commander, are you the master of artillery?"
The artillerymen of the first company couldn't help cheering as they looked at the Lunar Army Regiment Headquarters, which was still dazzling with black gunpowder smoke.
At this time, the artillerymen looked at Chen Ziyun as if they were looking at gods, with faces full of worship!
