The Japanese invaders worked hard and spent huge casualties to occupy Gushan. Of course, they did not just leave it to watch.
The altitude of the ancient mountain is more than 300 meters, which is exactly the same as Luo Wenyu's main position. The Type 92 infantry gun has a total weight of only 0.2 tons and is almost not restricted by any terrain. The longest range of 2800 meters can just kill Luo Wenyu's position 2000 meters away. Also
The Type 92 infantry gun, which has the function of both direct and horizontal fire and can be used as a howitzer or cannon, posed a great threat to Luo Wenyu's main position when it was moved to the ancient mountain.
If it weren't for the fact that the independent regiment still had two Bofors mountain guns ready to counterattack at any time, I'm afraid the Japanese army wouldn't have to use the mountain guns of the Eighth Artillery Regiment at all. They would just use the four infantry guns moved up from the top of the ancient mountain to completely destroy Luo Wenyu's main position.
Suppressed.
The four infantry guns were in charge of an artillery squadron under the 16th Brigade. Yes, it was the unit that had been unlucky since the brigade commander and now only had one infantry brigade left.
This artillery squadron was not very lucky. Although they did not have to talk directly with the Chinese like infantry, as long as they fired, the Chinese retaliatory bombardment came over. There was no need to test fire at all. Every shot was fired very accurately, even if
The infantry cannon was not blown into parts, but the air waves overturned the cannon several times.
Just because the artillery is fine does not mean that the people are fine. The artillery squadron with hundreds of people was ravaged by the Chinese mountain artillery for several rounds, and only a few dozen people were left. The crippled artillery squadron can be regarded as coming back to its senses. China
People have already drawn a scale on the top of this hill. As long as they fire from here, they will fire according to the preset scale. Isn't that fast and accurate?
The little devils who figured out the key to this also became shrewd. They would often drag the highly maneuverable infantry artillery gun and run away after firing one shot, then fire another shot from another position, and then run away again.
Although the effect of this kind of bombardment is far less than what they thought before, aiming for a long time and then releasing it, it is good to be alive at least.
This kind of drama happened almost every day during these eight days, and the number of artillery squadrons stationed on the ancient mountain became smaller and smaller, but miraculously, none of the four infantry cannons was lost. The artillery squadron leader Tatsuta Matsuya was led by
The initial depression and numbness gradually gave way to hope.
What is credit? Saving these four infantry guns is the biggest credit. As long as the four infantry guns can be saved, after the war, the promotion from lieutenant to captain is almost certain.
The Japanese are so strange. Equipment is much more important than people, especially the lives of ordinary soldiers. From generals to officers, the general idea is that the empire has tens of millions of strong laborers, so why are they afraid of lacking any military resources?
Unfortunately, on this night of gunfire everywhere, Tatsuta Matsushita and his artillery squadron were destined to be as unlucky as the main force of their brigade.
This is completely a curse that the 16th Brigade cannot shake off throughout their lives.
The independent group's death-defying company was resurrected, thanks to Liu Lang's summoning ultimate move.
The 38 strong men, who had been recharging their energy in the tunnel for eight whole days, hardly mobilized themselves before sneaking up to the top of the ancient mountain from the exit on the cliff with red eyes and carrying military spurs.
Anyone who faces the remains of more than a hundred comrades who have been with them day and night for eight days, and does not know whether they will live or die, will probably be red-eyed! Maybe for more people, this is relief, even if
He will die in the next second.
That kind of horrific torture that lasts for a second is definitely an extremely cruel test of one's willpower.
The artillery squadron has become familiar with the top of Gushan in the past few days. It used its spare time to dig trenches again and connected several large craters left by 240MM howitzers to form a simple artillery position, which can not only prevent shelling, but also
You can also block the enemy attacking from the bottom of the mountain. Although it is almost impossible, it is nip in the bud after all!
Tatsuta Matsu, who was determined to advance his military rank, tried his best to defend himself to the best of his ability, but he did not consider the threats from behind.
There, except for the tunnels blown up by the Chinese, there is half a 200-meter-high cliff. No one can climb up unless the Chinese have wings.
There was nothing wrong with Tatsuta Song's idea. But he never imagined that no one would gain wings, but someone could become a grandson of earth and emerge from some dead man's tomb again.
Correspondingly, behind him, Tatsuta Song did not place sentries at all.
Who is more familiar with the terrain than the soldiers of the Death Company who have stayed in this position for more than half a month? It is not easy for the bandit soldiers of the Death Company to reach here.
No one lit a lamp, and in the dark, 38 bandit soldiers carried three-sided army spears and entered the temporary base of the artillery squadron.
Perhaps they were too tired, or perhaps they were accustomed to shelling Chinese positions at night. Except for a few security groups in the 53-man artillery squadron on the mountainside, the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches at the temporary station were all sound asleep.
On the battlefield, a small oversight can lead to death, not to mention snoring while sleeping? It took no effort at all. The 38 members of the death-defying company acted separately and fought from beginning to end in several trenches. The sleeping Japanese troops stabbed the terrifying Sanlang Army.
He was like a little chicken when he was killed, and other than bleeding, he did not make any effective resistance.
The bandit soldiers of the death-defying company didn't seem to be killing people at all, but killing pigs and bleeding them. The entire position was covered in a thick bloody smell. If the mountain wind hadn't carried away some of it, the bandits themselves might have vomited it out.
This kind of assassination without any resistance until one of the bandit soldiers did not cover the mouth of the Japanese soldier who had a stab inserted into the heart. The shrill screams alerted the remaining artillery squadron soldiers. Tatsuya Matsuya jumped up and pulled out the gun.
My own Nanbu pistol was known as Japan's worst military weapon during World War II. It often jammed when shooting.
The screams one after another made the Japanese lieutenant, who would never have the chance to be promoted to captain again, just follow the sound and fire one shot, and was swept to the ground by a row of shell gun bullets.
The Japanese lieutenant who never closed his eyes until his death probably had the biggest question before his death: how did the Chinese fly to the position?
It's a pity that no one explained to him that the most important target of the suicide company bandits who had cleared the trenches was the four infantry cannons.
The fat man's command made it very clear that if the Japanese infantry artillery can be captured, it will be shot three times first, regardless of whether it has dates or not.
The date Liu Lang mentioned was actually the headquarters of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army. It was about five or six miles away from the ancient mountain and was close to the farthest range of infantry artillery.
Of course, Liu Lang didn't expect that the Death Company would be able to use these four infantry cannons to kill Nishi Yiichi, the commander of the 8th Division. All he needed to do was let the Japanese troops on the entire battlefield know that the headquarters had been attacked.
After all, the story of the future Japanese "Famous General" Norihide Abe being fatally hit by the Red Army with five mortar shells cannot be replicated. Really, in Liu Lang's view, either the Red Army was lucky or it was Norihide Abe.
Xiu was so unlucky that it all depended on God's eyes.
Liu Lang just wanted to help Cheng Yuanshan, who was attacking the Japanese invaders' artillery positions, to reduce the pressure. At the same time, Liu Lang also wanted to give the Japanese invaders who were furiously attacking the positions a big fright. The headquarters had been attacked. This shocking news was a big surprise to everyone.
For ordinary soldiers who know how to obey their commander's orders, this is definitely very hard news.
But Liu Lang didn't expect that the death-defying company would really give the Japanese invaders a huge scare.
