The only thing Kitada Yasun can count on now is the Chinese army's pitiful number of artillery and artillery technology. Artillery alone will keep the Japanese army behind. He believes that the current Chinese army cannot do this, so in the end, infantry and machine guns will have to be used.
Rush to the river to intercept it.
He believed in the fighting ability of his soldiers. As long as the Chinese army dared to show its head on the shore, with the white line of fish belly that had begun to appear on the horizon, the Imperial Japanese soldiers were ready on rubber boats and assault boats with various machine guns and missiles.
The bullets will cost them dearly.
It is a pity that although Beitian Kanglian guessed Meng Yuting's plan, he seriously underestimated the number of artillery and the quality of the artillery of the Chinese army in front of him.
Just yesterday when Chen Wanli led people to inspect the Japanese landing site, a group of artillery experts from the mercenary regiment such as Xu Dacheng, Zhu Jinhui and Tang Jian had already planned the artillery positions and calculated the shooting parameters of various types of artillery.
Artillery of various calibers has divided bombardment areas from far to near.
Moreover, from the beginning, Meng Yuting had no intention of using artillery to support the infantry and machine gun companies that ambush the Japanese troops who landed ashore. In such a narrow area, with so many and fierce machine guns, submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles covering the firepower
Well, there is no need for artillery to add any extra layer of detail.
The artillery had only one target, which was the various Japanese boats on the river.
Meng Yuting indeed had the ambition and ambition to eat up an entire Japanese army brigade in one bite.
This is not his too arrogant imagination, but the weather, location, people and people are all on his side, and he is prepared to be unprepared. On his side are eighteen guns controlled by well-trained soldiers with excellent artillery skills.
Brandt 81 mm slap cannon, six Schneider 75 mm infantry guns with a range of six kilometers, and two Jin-made heavy mortars with a diameter of 150 mm.
The enemy was composed of seventy or eighty unprotected boats floating on a narrow river that was only two hundred meters wide at its widest point and one thousand meters long. At the same time, there was no means of counterattack. Without artillery support, the Japanese troops were numerous.
Machine guns and grenade launchers have become decorations.
This is completely target practice, even simpler than target practice. Anyway, the number of artillery shells is sufficient, so just focus on this area and fire as much as you want.
When the sound of the first volley of artillery fire from the Chinese army came, Major Beitian Kanglian suddenly fell into despair, and the despair rose from the depths of his soul, making his whole body tremble involuntarily. The Chinese army
Are all the artillery on the front line moved here?
Two of the sharp whistling sounds were very loud. Kitada Yasulian knew that these were large-caliber artillery shells flying from the sky. At this time, he had no intention of doing anything about the tragic outcome of the more than a thousand Japanese troops under his command.
Fantasy, and he had no time to fantasize.
The loud sound of "Boom!" almost shattered Kitada Kanglian's eardrums. In his eyes that had become numb, he saw that next to the assault boat he was riding in, there was a squadron of 13 Japanese soldiers on board.
The rubber boat was like a paper toy. It was thrown up high in the fierce explosion and air waves, and fell apart in the air. The figures flying in the air momentarily broke away from the gravity of the earth, and the blood and limbs on their bodies were swayed in the wind.
Like the cherry blossoms that fall one after another in April every year in Imperial Kyoto.
The power of the 150mm heavy mortar shell is not just as simple as blowing up a rubber boat. The first 24 kilogram gun of the Jin army's heavy mortar platoon forced by Marshal Yan to Zhou Wen -
The bomb accidentally hit the middle of several boats on which the Japanese brigade headquarters were riding. The absolute damage radius of 50 meters and the powerful shock wave continued its glorious results.
The air waves then swept in all directions. Before Beita Kanglian had time to pity the trapeze artists, he was instantly separated from the earth's gravity and was pushed into the air by a huge force. At the same time, countless shell fragments happily penetrated into him.
body of.
"The 143rd Brigade...it's over!"
This was the last consciousness of Major Beitian Kanglian in this world.
Meng Yuting didn't know that in the first round of shelling, a 150mm mortar shell sent the Japanese brigade captain and the entire brigade headquarters members to hell.
However, with the help of the ray of morning light rising in the eastern sky, his telescope already revealed a spectacle that he had never seen in his life. Dozens of huge water columns rose high on the river almost at the same time.
Like a fountain, this area of water is covered with a dense layer of water mist. If it were not for the ugly stumps and blood mixed in the fountain, this landscape would surely be called beautiful.
Then, the bursts of exploding water jets finally blocked his sight. The artillerymen's accurate coverage of the artillery bombardment let him know that not many Japanese troops on the water could escape, because the bombardment order he gave to the artillery was not based on the base number of shells, but on the basis of the number of shells.
Time calculation.
For ten minutes, regardless of whether the enemy was dead or not, or retreated or not, all the artillery fired continuously for ten minutes at the fastest bombardment speed.
Taking the largest number of Brandt 81mm mortars into account, each gun has a firing rate of up to 18 rounds per minute. Taking into account the heating of the barrel or other safety factors, it is actually fired at a rate of 10 rounds per minute.
Even so, more than 1,800 artillery shells fell and exploded in ten minutes, not counting the six Schneider 75mm mountain guns with the longest range and two terrifyingly powerful 150mm heavy mortars.
Anyway, the mercenary group has a lot of artillery shells.
Anyway, Boss Zhou, the boss of the mercenary group, has a lot of money.
Anyway, the logistics team, engineer platoon and artillery transport platoon brothers who had been busy all night transporting artillery shells were exhausted. We couldn't let them work so hard to carry the artillery shells back again, right?
Moreover, the theory that Zhou Wen has repeatedly instilled in his subordinates is: if a problem cannot be solved with one shell, use 10 shells. If that doesn't work, use 100 shells.
Therefore, after the ten-minute bombardment ended, there was no more intact boat on this kilometer-long river.
A whole brigade of Japanese troops, nearly 100 assault boats and rubber boats of various kinds, only a dozen small boats at the tail of the landing fleet were able to escape, and almost all the rest were destroyed on the Yunzaobang river.
This is also due to the fact that the adjutant of the Japanese 143rd Brigade saw the opportunity quickly. If he had not been responsible for commanding the rear group and issued the retreat order immediately, it is estimated that the establishment of the 143rd Brigade of the Japanese Mixed 24th Brigade would have been removed from the Japanese Army's establishment series.
.
You must know that the combat discipline of the Japanese army is also very strict. Without the order of the highest commander of the headquarters, no one is allowed to retreat even from an attack that is known to be fatal. Otherwise, he will be tried by a military court and will be regarded as a deserter for the rest of his life.
When the Japanese brigade deputy commander issued the order to retreat, the brigade captain and other officers at the brigade headquarters had already been taken to see their Amaterasu by a 150mm heavy mortar bomb.
