Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 847 Nightmare!

The four-row regiment is equipped with the Liao-made Type 12 16mm mortar developed 150 years ago!
If this kind of large-caliber mortar is placed in the future, just looking at its pitiful range of 3200 meters, it will naturally be garbage among garbage. Japan can hang it with any artillery it pulls out.

But it is this kind of ancient mortar that has become the most urgently needed heavy artillery for the Chinese army at this time. After the principal realized that he could not obtain the heavy artillery he wanted from the Western world, he also began to order the arsenal under his command to start A large number of Liao-made 16-type 150mm mortars were imitated, and they were named Min 29-type 150mm mortars two years later. This kind of 'old' artillery played a huge role in the subsequent recovery of western Yunnan. effect.

Not to mention that the 23-kilogram projectile can kill people on the surface, even the bunker fortifications cannot stop its explosive power. Even if the well-equipped Japanese army has fortifications, they will suffer heavy casualties in front of this artillery.

And in the Battle of the Ice Field more than ten years later, the ace army of China also carried this kind of large-caliber mortar. The circular fortifications laid out by the 1st Cavalry Division of the Beautiful Country were also casualties in front of this "simple" artillery. , That is to say, the ace army is equipped with too few such artillery pieces, but only four. If the number is multiplied by ten, perhaps the fate of that infantry division will be completely changed.

The shooting range is the shortcoming of the 150mm mortar, but the power of the explosion of more than 20 kilograms of projectiles is definitely several times that of the 75mm mountain gun.

Even if the Japanese army hid in the fortifications, I am afraid that they would have to be terrified, let alone in the unobstructed wasteland.

A round of six shells first exploded about 100 meters in front of the Japanese artillery position, and the huge air wave directly knocked the Japanese artillery to the ground.

This is the most correct way to avoid artillery fire. Regardless of the fact that the artillery shells are far away from you, the speed of a person cannot keep up with the shrapnel and air waves. Anyone who tries to escape has a 90.00% chance of being torn apart by the artillery fire .

The Japanese artillery responded quickly, but some were unlucky.

It was two infantry squadrons of the 2rd Infantry Battalion of the [-]nd Infantry Regiment intended to support the 'Long Live Charge'.

Major Shenmu Shinmori of the Third Infantry Battalion had actually prepared himself mentally. If the two infantry squadrons under his command were to engage in the 'Long Live Charge', there would be heavy casualties.

Don't look at the dry grass ignited by the incendiary bombs burning very vigorously, but the Chinese are as tenacious as gophers. Such a fire may not be able to burn them all to death. With their previously exposed firepower, two infantry squadrons can kill half of them. It would be nice to rush into the Chinese positions alive.

But what he never expected was that the two infantry squadrons who shouted "onboard" and began to charge hadn't fallen yet, and something happened to the two infantry squadrons that he stayed on the edge of the battlefield and was ready to follow up at any time.

Something happened!
Six bullet flowers bloomed in the area where the infantry were lying down, and the stumps visible to the naked eye flew with the air waves!

Shenmu Zhensen's eyes darkened!
That's not angry.

As a veteran who has been in the army for ten years, Shenmu Zhensen has never seen anything, and the loss of some troops is unlikely.

That's because, he was hit.

In order to prove his bravery to His Excellency, the Japanese Army Major, the temporary brigade headquarters was too close to the front line.

Even, because of the urgency of the war, he didn't even dig a temporary shelter. He half-kneeled and hid in the grass with a telescope to watch his subordinates who were running wildly on the scorched grass.

His position was only 50 meters away from the remaining two infantry squadrons!
Although such a distance is not completely within the killing radius of the shell, who said that people cannot be killed if they are not within the killing radius?
A Japanese infantry soldier was three meters away from the explosion center of a shell. His fragile body was instantly torn into several pieces by the explosion energy of the huge explosive, and the rifle in his hand was also blown to pieces. Fly away.

It's so hard to die, Major Shenmu Shinmori happened to be on the route of the gun barrel flying.
Major Shenmu Mamori, dead!

It was the first major officer of the 2nd Infantry Regiment to die in battle.

Died in the first round of test firing of the 1st company of the Sixing regiment artillery!
It can only be said that his life is not good, but Pang Dahai and his brothers are very hot, as if they have accumulated anger points for a long time.

The test firing of the 1st artillery company lasted two rounds, and the third infantry brigade lost 43 infantry including their major commander, and an infantry squad was reimbursed in this way.

As for the 1st battery, only 12 shells have just been consumed.

But there were five shells in the shell cart behind each mortar, and there were also shell carts being transported here from the distant ammunition storage depot.

The ammunition consumption index of the 1st company of Tang Dao's guns is 30 rounds per gun!
Then, it was the turn of the rapid-fire artillery squadron at the right gate of Matsumoto.

The shells exploded in front of, behind, left, and right of the rapid-fire gun, and the ground seemed to tremble.

No manpower can resist the largest caliber "heavy artillery" that the Chinese army can equip at present, not to mention the Japanese artillery who are lying on the wasteland without shelter, even if they are given a 94 tank to shelter, they can only recite silently in their hearts : God bless Amaterasu!

A rapid-fire cannon weighing hundreds of kilograms is like a piece of paper in a strong wind in the terrible air waves caused by the shells. It can be rolled out more than ten meters away, let alone a weak human body.

What was even more frightening was that the Chinese artillery shells seemed to be endless, and the sound like thunder was constantly exploding in the ears of the living Japanese soldiers. There were even louder explosions in the middle, which should be their own artillery shells being detonated.

The position of more than [-] square meters was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke, like hell!
No one knew how many people were still alive in this hell, and Ishiguro Sadazo, who was watching all this hundreds of meters away, had already turned pale.

He thought that his opponent would have artillery, but he didn't expect that it would be such a terrible heavy artillery, let alone that the Chinese would shell so unscrupulously. Would his mountain artillery squadron be 'eating shit'?
"Order the Mountain Artillery Squadron to find the Chinese artillery positions and destroy them!" Ishiguro Sadazo ordered through gritted teeth.

This is the only thing the Japanese supreme commander can do. Based on his experience, he has judged that the Chinese are not using howitzers but large-caliber mortars. The biggest shortcoming of this kind of guns is that the shooting range is too short.

As for why the Chinese were able to find the location of his rapid-fire artillery squadron in such a short period of time, I am afraid that the cunning Chinese equipped artillery observation posts on the front line and sent the coordinates to the rear with field radio.

Judging from various signs, the Chinese artillery positions must be located on the bank of the Bihe River, and the most correct way should be on the south bank.

Because, no matter how crazy the Chinese are, they will definitely not bring such heavy firearms too close to the infantry. If they are not careful, they may be attacked by the infantry and lose them all.

It can only be said that Ishiguro Zhenzanguo is worthy of being the infantry regiment captain that Dohimoto valued, and he roughly determined the approximate area of ​​​​the 1st artillery company's position based on analysis and judgment.

Tang Dao really didn't dare to put the 1st battery on the north bank of the Bihe River, even though he was more than 80.00% sure of annihilating the Japanese army.

Cannon is the god of war, but that is at a certain distance. If you accidentally encounter infantry, especially when the distance is reduced to 200 meters, it can only be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Just like he led more than 1000 people to attack the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade at night in Jiashan, in terms of strength, the more than 1000 people under him were far inferior to the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade with thousands of troops. It is a special kind of arms that is rarely equipped with machine guns and rifles. It is not that they cannot be matched, but that it will become a burden for artillery.

A cannon weighs hundreds of kilograms, and a hundred shells weighs hundreds of kilograms. Artillerymen have to carry and pay attention to safety. If they have the spare power to carry rifles and bullets to do these things, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Even though most of the artillerymen in the 1st Artillery Company were infantry who had been on the battlefield, Tang Dao did not equip them with rifles. At most, they would equip them with pistols for self-defense after they developed new pistols in the future.

The safety of the artillery unit will basically be handed over to the infantry, but Tang Dao has played almost all the cards in his hand. Even the secret service company and the engineer company of the new eighth division are used as reserves to go to the battlefield at any time. Who will guarantee the safety of the artillery company? It can only depend on the terrain.

The wide Bihe is the safety line of the 1st artillery company!
Tang Dao's opponent was calm and wise enough. The Japanese mountain artillery squadron began to readjust the elevation angle, shooting range, and shooting range while the 1st artillery company was still bombarding frantically, and the four mountain artillery roared.

The shells landed in the already rippling Bihe River, blasting clouds of spray into the sky, and some fell on the shore, billowing up bursts of gunpowder smoke.

The closest point is only more than 1 meters away from the position of the 400st artillery company.

You know, this is all based on a few guesses, and the blind cat catches the mouse, which also confirms the strength of the Japanese artillery from the side.

Unfortunately, Ishiguro Sadazo still underestimated his opponent.

Pang Dahai's subordinates had not only six 6mm mortars, but also four 150-type mountain cannons "sent" by those dead ghost colleagues of Ishiguro Sadazo.

What's more terrible is that the Japanese commanders and artillerymen are purely blind, but the 1st artillery company has "clairvoyance".

"The artillery brothers did a good job, the approximate coordinates of the devil's mountain artillery positions," Gu Xishui wrote in the telegram.

"Tell Fat Dahai, this time, his mountain cannon is enough to suppress the devil's mountain cannon, but don't hit too hard, it's not good to scare Ishiguro Sadazo away, there is a Japanese army officer whose head is hung on the Yellow River Railway Bridge It is sincere enough for the ancestors to apologize!" Tang Dao glanced at Gu Xishui's telegram and ordered.

Tang Dao's words were not made on a whim.

According to historical records, the engineering company of the New Eighth Division bombed for two full days before completely destroying the railway-road dual-purpose bridge that was built 32 years ago.

Tang Dao was very surprised, what kind of bridge was so strong that it was even blown up by an engineer with a large amount of explosives for two days.

On the second day after arriving at the Yellow River Railway Bridge, Tang Dao took Lei Xiong, Leng Feng, Li Jiujin and others across the iron bridge for inspection.

When the army column carrying the retreating First Army passed the railway bridge, the train driver should have seen the soldiers drilling holes on the thick pier, and knowing the fate of the bridge he had passed countless times, he kept blowing his whistle to the railway bridge. Farewell to the bridge.

Many officers and soldiers of the engineering company of the New Eighth Division burst into tears at that moment.

But this is obviously not on the sad point of Tang Dao who already knows the ending of history. What is the loss of the city and land at this moment?In the next two years, most of China will fall into the hands of the enemy.

However, the city can be lost, the land can also be lost, and the heart of resistance is indispensable. After all, the ancestors of this era did not disappoint their younger generations.

Even if there are as many as 600 million traitors in the enemy-occupied areas, which is rare in the world, there are still hundreds of millions of people in China who do not want to be subjugated slaves.

The lost city and the lost land are finally brought back!
However, when Tang Dao walked under the majestic pier in the south of the bridge, the words written on a stone tablet made him feel like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Tantai Mingyue read softly: "The Qing State Railway Corporation built the Beijing-Han Railway. On the day when the construction was completed, the imperial court sent Prince Shaobao, former Minister of Industry Zuo Shilang Sheng Xuanhuai, Yipin Ding Dai acting Zuo Cheng of the Ministry of Commerce Tang Shaoyi to the completion ceremony!
In addition, the bridge was completed in three years, and 26 migrant workers were lost!I would like to engrave my ambition!October 31th in the [-]st year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty! "

The forthright Lei Xiong burst into tears at that time, and exclaimed: "Brothers, this is a memorial monument left by our ancestors! But today, this bridge will be destroyed by us unworthy descendants. !"

It may not be accurate to say that it is a memorial tablet, but Tang Dao couldn't help but think of the bridge built on the Tongmai natural barrier of National Highway 318 in the future. There are bones of Chinese soldiers who built the bridge in the pier. What would it be like if the soldiers went to blow it up?

Due to the situation, I am sorry for the painstaking efforts of my ancestors, so there must be something to make amends. Tang Dao thought about it, and there is nothing more suitable than the head of the Japanese Army Chief.

When the bombing of the bridge is started in the future, Shiguro Zhenzang's head will hang on the bridge and annihilate along with the bridge.

"Baga!" Hearing the sound of shells piercing the sky and flying overhead, Shi Hei Zhenzang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

What kind of Chinese army is he facing!Not to mention the large-caliber mortars, there are even mountain cannons. Is this Baga still a regiment?It's an infantry army!
Fortunately, perhaps because the mountain artillery position was more than 1300 meters away from the infantry front line, the Chinese could not obtain accurate coordinates. Most of the artillery shells fired landed hundreds of meters away from the artillery position. It looked lively, but in fact it did not cause damage to the mountain artillery position. destroy.

"Order the mountain artillery squadron to temporarily stop shelling, and then retreat 500 meters!" Ishiguro Sadazo quickly issued the military order. After thinking for a while, "The same is true for the infantry artillery squadron!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, but the Third Infantry Battalion ahead still needs artillery support, and the Infantry Artillery Squadron may have to approach for artillery fire!" The Lieutenant Lieutenant Lieutenant at the side couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard this order.

"The Third Infantry Battalion." Shi Heizhenzang's face was extremely ugly, he paused for a while, and then said in a sad voice: "Perhaps, they don't need it anymore."

"Pass my military order, the third infantry brigade belongs, no longer attack the Chinese blocking defense line, all members retreat 300 meters, dig field trenches; the first and second infantry brigades, fight the Chinese according to their respective terrains, tell them , The main force of the division is approaching our regiment. At the same time, air support will arrive at any time. As long as it is delayed until evening, our army will carry out an anti-encirclement against the Chinese.

Those who are brave in battle will be rewarded by the division headquarters after the war, and those who lose in the battle will not have the chance to go to the military court! "Ishiguro Sadazo tried his best to regain his composure and quickly issued a military order.

His Excellency, the Alliance Captain, is he going to lie flat and die?The officers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment looked at each other in blank dismay!

It looks quite decisive, but it is the truth!The third infantry brigade chose to stick to it, and the two infantry brigades in the encirclement were purely on their own. Can they hold on until sunset?
No one can know the answer!
But they soon knew why their wise captain gave such an unconventional order.

In fact, the third infantry brigade can already be reorganized into the third infantry squadron.

Not because of that terrible round of shelling.

Rather, the previously enacted 'Long Live Charge'!
The two infantry squadrons of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion were the worst troops for both China and Japan in this dawn ambush, none of them.

You want to say that the two heavy machine gun squadrons of the First and Second Infantry Battalion, which are under the care of the Chinese side, are miserable, but they still have two or three big cats and kittens, and a few heavy machine guns.

But what about these two infantry squadrons led by a group of shirtless?

What happened to them?
None came back alive?

Everyone is smashed!

The two infantry companies of the third battalion adopted the same tactic in unison, silence!

The Eighth Company put the Japanese army shouting "onboard" in front of its defense line to 100 meters.

Li Jiujin was even more ruthless. It was not until the Japanese army rushed to 70 meters that they pulled the trigger of the Czech light machine gun in his hand.

It was a firepower network composed of 28 heavy machine guns and more than 200 semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and shell guns.

Even if the battle line is as long as a thousand meters, even if the distance between individual Japanese soldiers has reached an astonishing three meters, even if their short legs have turned into rims, which is close to the speed of athletes sprinting [-] meters.

But in front of this kind of firepower network that seems to be able to suck a bullet even with a breath of air, the charge of more than 300 Japanese troops is like waves hitting a rock, and it is useless except to break into foam.

The Chinese soldiers did not throw even a single grenade, but simply pulled the trigger, fired the bullet, and then pressed the prepared magazine, then pointed the muzzle forward, and pulled the trigger.

Simple to extreme firepower output!

But it became a reminder for the Japanese army running wild!

The Japanese infantry pulled the trigger once at most, and was hit by bullets, and then was hit continuously!

By 'Long live! 'The hypnotized Japanese infantrymen are like puppets lined up to be shot. The ones in front fell down, the ones behind rushed up, and then fell down again.

In the end, none survived!

More than 300 Japanese soldiers have proved a truth with iron-like facts: in the face of enough bullets, no matter how you shout long live, it will be shattered!
At this time, the 150 mortars of the artillery company were still raging on the positions of the Japanese rapid-fire artillery squadron. The thick smoke lingered for a long time, blocking the sight of the Japanese officers.

They did not see that the infantry squadrons in the two 'Long Live' charges have completely become historical terms.

After an unknown amount of time, Matsumoto Right Gate, who was curled up and buried his head in the shallow pit, raised his head and looked at the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke was gradually dissipating.

His squadron of rapid-fire guns had disappeared, the heavy rapid-fire guns staggering here and there, and the heroic infantry of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, who had charged so fiercely not far from him, were also gone.

As if, everything is a dream!
This is a nightmare!Looking up at the battlefield, the Japanese artillery captain mumbled to himself with blank eyes!

He didn't hear the desperate shouts of the signal soldiers around him at all.

It wasn't that he was completely immersed in grief, but that a thin red line flowed out from under each ear.

The huge explosion had already deafened the Japanese artillery captain who escaped by chance.
