The soldiers of the Independent Regiment Artillery Company were patiently waiting for orders from the regiment commander Li Yunlong. They could see that the Japanese offensive was fierce.
After the Japanese artillery fired, the soldiers of the artillery company remembered the direction of the Japanese artillery fire and calculated the specific location of the Japanese artillery. Liu Gen was not in the artillery company, and the soldiers were not 100% sure of the location of the Japanese artillery they had guessed.
is it right or not.
But even so, the soldiers of the artillery company were still 70% to 80% sure. After arriving at Cross Ridge, they had carefully observed the terrain of Cross Ridge. Where the Japanese were located, there were only a few suitable artillery positions.
Even the soldiers’ greatest reliance.
It's just that Li Yunlong's order has not been issued for a long time, and the soldiers of the artillery company are somewhat anxious. The soldiers don't understand why Li Yunlong doesn't let them take action. With the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment's artillery company, they are confident enough to kill the Japanese artillery and destroy most of the Japanese.
of firepower.
Unfortunately, the regiment commander Li Yunlong never gave the order for the artillery battery to fire. No matter how anxious the soldiers were, they could only wait.
Artillery company commander Zhang Yi is making preparations for the battle. He is the fourth company commander of the artillery company. In the artillery company, the first company commander is Liu Gen, and the second and third company commanders are during the battle.
Unfortunately, he died. The artillery battle is more dangerous than the infantry. Once an artillery battle occurs with the Japanese, the chance of death is very high.
This was the case for the second and third commanders of the artillery company. During the artillery battle with the Japanese, they took the lead. After severely damaging the Japanese artillery several times, they were unfortunately hit by the Japanese artillery and died heroically. As the fourth commander of the artillery company,
As company commander, Zhang Yi has very good abilities and joined the artillery company as soon as it was established.
Zhang Yi checked the preparations before the battle and the distribution of artillery in the artillery company again and again. As the commander of the artillery company, he needs to be responsible for the soldiers of the artillery company. What's more, before fighting the Japanese, he must make sufficient preparations.
Preparation work is also quite necessary, at least to allow the soldiers of the artillery company to have a certain degree of psychological preparation.
The soldiers of the artillery company were a little silent when they saw the actions of the company commander Zhang Yi. After a while, they calmed down again. As an artilleryman, the most important thing is to stay calm. Zhang Yi, the company commander
He set an example for the soldiers and influenced the soldiers of the artillery company with his own actions.
Without Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers continued to practice battle drills, repeatedly deducing the location of the Japanese artillery positions to ensure that they could kill the Japanese artillery as soon as possible. Only by killing the Japanese artillery can the artillery battery be positioned.
In the ensuing battle, bombardment was carried out unscrupulously.
Considering that there were not many mortars in the artillery battery, Zhang Yi chose to concentrate all the mortars in it and attack one target at the same time to ensure that there would be no problems with the artillery attack. Of course, if he chose to do this, he would be under attack by the Japanese.
An artillery counterattack will definitely be quite troublesome, and the soldiers' lives will also be in danger.
But even so, Zhang Yi still chose to do this. He knew very well what the mission of the artillery company was, and he also knew how important it was to kill the Japanese artillery and firepower points in this defensive battle. In this battle, even the artillery
Even if he is severely injured, he still needs to complete the task of killing the enemy's firepower point!
Half an hour later, the fighting on the front line came to a slight lull. The Japanese chose to retreat temporarily, and the soldiers of the independent regiment also had some rest time. In order to prevent the Japanese from sneaking up on them, the soldiers needed to always pay attention to the Japanese's movements while resting.
, to avoid this happening.
At this time, the artillery company finally received an order from the regiment commander Li Yunlong, ordering them to kill the Japanese artillery and Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire points as much as possible while ensuring their own safety in the following battle, so as to reduce the defensive pressure of the frontline soldiers.
pressure.
After receiving Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers of the artillery company quickly prepared. In fact, there was nothing that could be prepared. Everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared beforehand.
"Comrades, our task is very simple, which is to kill the enemy's artillery and light and heavy machine gun firepower points. This is not difficult for us! We must not make any mistakes in the battle! Any mistakes will be fatal, as fast as possible
Can we kill the Japanese artillery?" Zhang Yi shouted loudly.
"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison. Among the entire independent regiment, their artillery company has almost the most arduous training personnel. In previous battles with the Japanese, the artillery company has fully proved its strength. This time the artillery company has fully proved its strength.
It is even more important to go all out to complete the combat mission and reduce the defensive pressure on the soldiers of the independent regiment.
Twenty minutes later, the battle started again. This time the Japanese artillery, as usual, took the initiative to launch artillery bombardment on the independent regiment's defensive position.
On the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese artillerymen chatted and laughed as they kept feeding artillery shells into the breech. One shell after another continued to fly out, heading towards the Independent Regiment's position. The previous artillery bombardment and the suppression of firepower did not expose the independent regiment's artillery.
The existence of the company made the Japanese artillerymen not vigilant at all. They did not think that the independent regiment had the ability to threaten them.
However, while these Japanese artillerymen were joking, they did not notice the black dots flying towards them quickly in the sky. By the time the Japanese realized something was wrong, it was already too late, leaving these Japanese artillerymen no time to escape.
The artillery shells from the independent regiment's artillery company fell and exploded on the Japanese artillery position. The artillery shells were very dense. After three rounds of salvos, the artillery shells quickly extended in other directions around them. After destroying thirty or forty rounds of artillery shells,
, the artillery company gave up shelling the Japanese artillery positions and instead shelled the Japanese light and heavy machine gun firepower points.
When attacking the enemy's light and heavy machine gun fire points, the artillery company's artillery bombardment frequency was very low. Without the threat of the Japanese artillery, the artillery company soldiers could safely adjust the corresponding angles before launching artillery bombardments on the Japanese light and heavy machine gun fire points, striving to achieve the goal.
Kill the Japs with one shot and a point of firepower!
Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers retreated quickly. Without the artillery and light and heavy machine gun firepower points to be constantly attacked by the artillery batteries, the Japanese knew that they could not continue the attack.
Seeing the Japanese soldiers retreating, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The crazy attacks of these Japanese soldiers put great pressure on the soldiers. Now that the Japanese soldiers suddenly retreated, the soldiers were finally able to take a good rest for a while and marched to the cross.
Behind the ridge, the soldiers never had a good rest.
It can be said that when fighting these Japanese soldiers, the soldiers were very tired and their combat effectiveness was also affected to a certain extent. Otherwise, they would definitely cause more casualties to the Japanese soldiers.
