War of Resistance

Chapter 51

Hearing the news that Xu Sangou didn't die, the big stone in Zhang Tianhai's heart finally fell gently - if this kid died, it would be a lot less fun in the future.

About 10 minutes later, a thin soldier ran up to Zhang Tianhai and reported: "Battle Commander, people from the artillery battalion are here, and they have brought several cannons over. The regimental commander asked us to cooperate with the artillery battalion. Attack anytime."

"Well, I see. How many guns did they have?" Zhang Tianhai nodded and asked.

"Report to the battalion commander, a total of eight guns have arrived." The soldier reported.

"What? There are eight?" Zhang Tianhai's eyes widened, eight cannons, what does this mean?That is two artillery companies, you know, the entire artillery battalion only has twelve mountain artillery pieces.

To blow up so many people and use two artillery companies?Thinking about it makes me feel sour.

"Yes, there are eight cannons," replied the soldier.

"Alright, alright, take me to see their person in charge. By the way, is Battalion Commander Chen from the artillery battalion here?" Zhang Tianhai asked.

"I haven't seen a battalion commander. There are two officers, both of them lieutenants." The soldier said honestly.

"Okay, let's go!" After saying that, Zhang Tianhai strode out. This area is not too big. Even if there are no soldiers to lead the way, it can be found very quickly, but there are soldiers to lead the way. Just more convenient.

The soldier was also a winking master. As soon as he saw the battalion commander walking out, he quickly followed and led the way for the battalion commander.

When Zhang Tianhai saw the two company commanders of the artillery battalion, it was about 20 meters north of Wuzhou Road.

I saw that the Mende-made 75mm Krupp mountain gun was slowly advancing under the impetus of the soldiers of the artillery battalion. At this time, the seriously wounded in the Wuzhou Road area had been sent to the field hospital, and even the corpses all over the ground began to move forward. Cleaned up slowly.

Fortunately, these Shanghai people came to help, otherwise the soldiers of the 36th Division would have been really busy.

This is the August day, the hottest time of the year. If the corpse is not handled properly, it will cause diseases such as plague.

"Two company commanders, this is our battalion commander Zhang." The soldier stepped forward to introduce Zhang Tianhai to the two lieutenants.

"Hello, sir, I am Xu Fengyi, the first company commander of the artillery battalion (Li Mingyun, the second company commander). I am here to provide artillery support as ordered by my superior." The two artillery commanders immediately saluted when they saw Zhang Tianhai.

Zhang Tianhai returned a military salute and said, "Hello, the frontline is urgent now, so I won't say anything else. Now there is about a squadron of Japanese soldiers in Shajing Port, with five or six light machine guns and heavy machine guns. There are as many as three, the enemy's firepower is fierce, and our battalion is not progressing well, so I will trouble the two."

"You are being polite, sir. I will execute the order immediately, and I will let them see the power of our Chinese artillery in a while." The person who spoke was Xu Fengyi, the commander of the company. I saw that he was about 1.6 meters five, not tall, and his physique was thin. Yes, she looks ordinary, but those piercing eyes are hard to forget after seeing her.

"Okay. Brothers, help the brothers in the artillery battalion to push the artillery, and don't be idle!" Zhang Tianhai said to the surrounding soldiers, and immediately about [-] people joined the push artillery camp.

To be honest, Zhang Tianhai was very happy when he saw the people from the artillery battalion, for no other reason: the people from the artillery battalion came, and their first battalion could finally reduce some casualties.You must know that the casualties of the first battalion on Wuzhou Road and Kunming Road reached as many as [-].

What is the concept of more than 100 people? The entire first battalion can only have more than 600 people, and after the First World War, one-sixth of the staff was reduced?Aren't the casualties heavy enough?
It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

It was almost noon, and the sun hung high in the middle of the sky, exuding a high degree of heat.

The soldiers were sweating profusely. Except for the necessary security personnel, everyone else moved sandbags to rebuild their positions. No one knew when the next wave of Japanese counterattacks would be.

The burning fire has been extinguished, and only a stubborn smoke of gunpowder is still exuding a choking smell.

The speed at which the people and officers and soldiers cleaned the battlefield undoubtedly provided great convenience for the passage of the mountain artillery in the artillery battalion.

It was the trace left on the ground after the blood had coagulated.

After a full 5 minutes, the eight guns of the artillery battalion finally adjusted their position under the command of Xu Fengyi, the first company commander of the artillery battalion, and began to aim and position the Japanese army in Shajing Port.

Xu Feng also stood at the front of the team and commanded loudly: "Cannon No. [-], adjust the muzzle five degrees upwards, fire a quick fire, prepare... to fire!"

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, a shell burst out from the muzzle, followed by a loud "Boom" sound.

"boom!!!"

I saw the Japanese army's position over Shajing Port exploded, and thick smoke billowed.

At this time, the Japanese army also discovered the intentions of the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division. Commander Inada Junichi immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Hey! Shoot!!!"

The bullets of the Japanese army shot from the muzzle one after another, but most of them hit the sandbags and did not hurt the officers and soldiers of the 36th Division.

As the commander of this shelling support operation, Xu Feng also had a calm face and said coldly, "All artillery pieces should be aligned with the No. [-] artillery, and the muzzle elevation angle should be adjusted the same!"

After receiving the commander's instructions, the officers and soldiers acted one after another and began to adjust the muzzle angle of the Krupp 75mm mountain gun in front of them.

"Report sir, the No. [-] gun is ready and ready to fire at any time!"

"Report sir, the No. [-] gun is ready and ready to fire at any time!"

"Report sir, the No. [-] gun is ready and can fire at any time!"

"Report sir, the No. [-] artillery is ready and ready to fire at any time!"

……

After listening to the report of his officers and soldiers, Xu Feng also turned his head and asked Zhang Tianhai, "Sir, will my department fire immediately?"

"Wait a minute, wait for the brothers to prepare." Zhang Tianhai said in a deep voice, and then said aloud: "Brothers, prepare to charge!"

Afterwards, Zhang Tianhai called the trumpeter to the side again and said, "Wait for my order in a while. After the artillery battalion is finished shelling, immediately charge!"

"Understood." The trumpeter answered, and returned to his post.

After everything was ready, Zhang Tianhai said to Xu Fengyi beside him, "You can fire!"
