Wang Jiageng and Lu Deming were so excited that they screamed, but Fujimuro Ryosuke and Katamura Shichiro were so angry that they yelled!
Fujimuro Ryosuke was so distressed that the muscles in his face began to spasm violently. Seeing the attacking infantry squadrons falling piece by piece under the dense firepower of the defenders' submachine guns, Fujimuro Ryosuke really wanted to commit suicide.
Okay, Baga Yalu, the Chinese are too cunning, aren't they letting people have an unpleasant war?
"Damn it, these cunning Chinese people!" Shichiro Katamura cursed, his face burning. Just now he was swearing that the Communists were just idiots who didn't know the principles of using firepower. But in the blink of an eye, the Communists
Gave him a loud slap in the face, snap!
At this moment, Katamura Shichiro really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it, he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
However, Fujimuro Ryosuke now has no intention of ridiculing Katamura Shichiro.
"Baga!" Fujimuro Ryosuke said angrily, "What are those bastards in the Navy doing? Why haven't our artillery equipment been transported ashore yet? We need artillery support, we need artillery support!"
Although it was only a setback in one attack, Fujimuro Ryosuke already felt that the situation was serious.
The firepower of the Luodian defenders was far more powerful than they imagined, and their ammunition reserves were also very sufficient. In terms of light firepower alone, the firepower of their 77th Infantry Regiment was even far inferior to that of the opponent, so without artillery support
, this battle is impossible to fight, even if their entire infantry regiment is filled in, it will not be enough!
At that moment, Fujimuro Ryosuke turned back to the signal soldier behind him and said: "Immediately call the division headquarters and tell them that the firepower of the Luodian defenders is very fierce. Our regiment attacked three or four times, but all failed and suffered heavy casualties! However,
Our regiment will still display the decisive style of the imperial soldiers and continue to launch endless fierce attacks on the Luodian enemy. However, we hope that the artillery can be in place as soon as possible to provide fire support to our regiment."
Fujimuro Ryosuke's telegram quickly reached the division headquarters of the 20th Division.
At this time, the division headquarters of the 20th Division had just landed and set up a temporary command post in Liuhe Town.
After receiving a telegram from Ryosuke Fujimuro asking for help, the commander of the 20th Division, Ushijima Minatsuki, was helpless, because he could not conjure landing equipment, let alone conjure a dock out of thin air near the Lion Grove.
In order to allow the technical equipment of the 26th Field Artillery Regiment to be quickly transported ashore, so in addition to continuing to send stern orders to Fujimuro Yoshio, I could only urge the Navy over and over again to transport the heavy equipment of the 20th Division as soon as possible.
Go ashore.
Then, Ushijima Minoru sent another telegram to the Twelfth Army Headquarters, requesting the Twelfth Army Headquarters to urgently contact the Central China Dispatch Force and request the Central China Dispatch Army's directly affiliated Third Flying Regiment to dispatch a bombing fleet.
Provide necessary fire support to the 77th Infantry Regiment currently fighting in Luodian Town.
After receiving Ushijima Minoru's request for assistance, Commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo of the Twelfth Army urgently contacted the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters and requested the Third Flying Regiment to dispatch a bomber squadron to provide fire support to the 77th Infantry Regiment.
, but at this time, the main force of the Condemnation Army sent by Central China was engaged in the Suizao Battle with the National Army, and the main force of the Third Flying Regiment had been transferred to Wuhan, so in the end only one bomber squadron was agreed to be sent to Luodian for support.
In addition, there is another situation that must be explained. After the outbreak of the Far East Battle, the Japanese base camp transferred the main aviation force of the North China Front Army and the Central China Dispatch Army to the Far East and stayed in the North China battlefield. The number of aviation forces in the Central China battlefield has been less than a quarter of the original number.
, this is also the main reason why the 3rd Flying Regiment cannot send out bombers.
Another situation that needs to be explained is that the Japanese aviation forces transferred from the North China and Central China battlefields to the Far East defeated the Soviet Air Force in several large-scale air battles that have ended. This is actually normal, because North China and Central China
The Japanese air force on the battlefield had just experienced a desperate battle with the Chinese Air Force. Both their psychological quality and actual combat experience had been improved unprecedentedly. On the other hand, the Soviet Red Army had almost no actual combat experience.
So now, the Japanese aviation has achieved overwhelming air superiority in the Far East battlefield, which has caused great difficulties for the Soviet Red Army's military operation to regain Chita. However, from a large perspective, the difference between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Front is
The battle between the two is still far from being decided, and this battle can be won!
Let us turn our attention back to the Luodian battlefield, the battle has entered a fever pitch!
The previous trick could only be used once, and it had to happen to meet the arrogant Japanese commander to be effective. This time, it happened to happen to the bastard Katamura Shichiro, but even a bastard like Katamura Shichiro
, such a dirty trick immediately stopped working after being used once, and the next step was a positional battle without any tricks.
Fortunately, since the Japs' artillery equipment has not yet landed, not only can they not use artillery firepower, but they cannot even raise observation hot-air balloons to guide naval guns to cover Luodian with artillery fire. On the other hand, the defenders can use pre-constructed
The defenses were used to block the attack, coupled with the overwhelming advantage of light firepower, the fight was relatively easy.
In less than half an hour, Wang Jiageng's company had repelled three attacks by the Japs. Outside Luodian Town, there were already corpses lying on top of each other. Of course, they were basically the bodies of the Japs. Even a conservative estimate would have killed at least two of them.
There were more than a hundred Japanese soldiers, but the first company only suffered casualties of less than fifty officers and soldiers.
This casualty ratio was unimaginable in the first Battle of Songhu.
You must know that in the first stage of the First Battle of Songhu, the 36th Division, the 87th Division, and the 88th Division, three major forest divisions, with nearly 30,000 elite troops, surrounded less than 5,000 Japanese soldiers and attacked fiercely.
After waiting for more than half a month, instead of being able to defeat the opponent, they actually maimed three forest guards. The streets and alleys of Hongkou and Yangshu were almost covered with the corpses of their comrades.
So now, looking at the corpses of Japanese soldiers strewn all over the ground outside Luodian Town, Wang Jiageng and all the officers and soldiers of the first company are in an indescribably happy mood. You little Japanese like a dog, I never thought that you would be like this!
But things in this world are never good for you! Before the Japs’ artillery equipment had time to land, Wang Jiageng’s company gained a lot of prestige with its advantage in light firepower, and in less than half an hour, they killed nearly a squadron of Japs.
But half an hour later, the situation of the battle immediately took a turn for the worse.
First, Central China sent a bomber team directly under the Third Flying Regiment of the Condemnation Army to Luodian.
Not long after the 77th Infantry Regiment launched its fourth attack, two bombers from the 3rd Flying Regiment directly under the Central China Condemnation Army flew over Luodian Town and dropped four 20-mm bombs on the 1st company position.
After the five kilogram-level aerial bombs were fired, waves of dives and repeated strafing began.
Although only two bombers arrived, the company's casualties increased sharply.
This was not over yet. Five minutes later, a huge hot air balloon slowly rose from not far away from Gejiacun. This was actually the little devil's observation soldier. A few minutes later, the observation hot air balloon rose into the air and sat on the
The observation soldiers on the gondola quickly measured Xie Yuan and Zhu Yuan, and immediately guided the Japanese navy to cover Luodian with artillery fire.
Now, the trouble is really big. There are more than a dozen main warships of the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet moored on the Yangtze River. Without any warning, the main guns of these dozens of warships all turned around and then rose slightly.
Pointing the black muzzle at Luodian Town more than ten kilometers away, one of the warships first fired a test shot.
A moment later, more than a dozen warships began firing rapidly.
On the surface of the river, an extremely spectacular scene appeared, but only one ball after another was seen, spraying out from the high-raised muzzle of the Japanese warship. The red flames blooming one after another, and soon
The surface of the river turned red! The huge roars one after another almost shattered the entire sky.
As the Japanese navy started shelling, Luodian instantly turned into a purgatory!
"Boom!" A high-explosive bomb with a caliber exceeding 300mm fell and exploded immediately. In an instant, a three-story bungalow with a steel concrete structure disappeared out of thin air. Along with the bungalow, it disappeared.
There were more than a dozen officers and soldiers stationed above. In the blink of an eye, the bodies of more than a dozen officers and soldiers were gone.
"Boom!" Another round of large-caliber high-explosive bombs fell down and landed on the central street of Luodian Town. The smoke and air waves generated by the explosion instantly enveloped a circular barricade in the middle of the street. After a while, the smoke dissipated.
, a Browning heavy machine gun and a dozen officers and soldiers stationed behind the circular barricade have long since disappeared, leaving only a large pit with a diameter of more than fifty meters and a depth of more than two meters, curling up.
With green smoke.
Wang Jiageng witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely ferocious.
Flesh and Blood Mill! During the first Battle of Songhu, Luodian was once called the Flesh and Blood Mill! This flesh and blood mill once crushed hundreds of Japanese soldiers, but more of them were crushed by Chinese soldiers.
Blood and flesh! Faintly, the shouts of the comrades of the 88th Division rang in Wang Jiageng's ears again.
The deafening roar of naval guns brought Wang Jiageng back to the battlefield two years ago.
"Captain Wang, don't forget to send a message to my mother! His son, his son..."
"Wang Jiageng, I will leave the third battalion to you. Don't fucking bring the army down!"
"Brother Jiageng, if there really is a next life, I, I will still be your brother..."
"Brothers, we can't die in vain, and the three thousand brothers can't sacrifice in vain. Come on, come on with me, let's fight with these little devils, fight..."
Amidst the roar of the heavy artillery, Wang Jiageng's expression became more and more ferocious, and his pair of originally clear eyes turned red due to being filled with blood. They looked a little strange! Then, Wang Jiageng suddenly stood up and roared to the sky.
Get up: "Brothers, charge me, charge, fight with the Japanese devils, fight..."
