My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 101 Artillery Battle
Four or five 75mm field guns of the Japanese army continued to fire in the direction of Jiqipo in an attempt to suppress the bombardment of the Sichuan Army.

Takeuchi Lianshan also got his wish. In order to prevent casualties from his precious artillery, Liao Mingyu let them withdraw from the position early.

Because the range of the 120 mortars and 92 infantry guns is limited, even if they are placed at the forefront of the position, they cannot reach the Japanese artillery positions.The 75 field guns of the Japanese army can have a maximum shooting distance of 10 kilometers.

Liao Mingyu specifically instructed the construction of the Sichuan Army's positions, asking the soldiers to dig deep ravines and build the trenches deep enough.The horizontal space of the individual anti-gun bunker is also very large, and it is no problem to hide two people in it at the same time.

Such trench fortifications can not only prevent the precise strike of artillery shells, but also effectively disintegrate the explosive impact and lethality of artillery high-explosive shells.The few 75 field guns that the soldiers hid in the bunker basically did not pose any threat.

"Hoo...boom!" The soil blown up by the shells was still stirring above the head.However, the soldiers hiding in the individual bunkers were extraordinarily leisurely.

"Hey, you bastard, Xiao Dongyang's cannonball is like a guest, soft and soft, don't you think it's a snake's butt?"

Not spicy crouched in the individual anti-gun bunker with the gun in his hand, took out the grenade on his body and stabbed the snake's buttocks next to him...

"Go away, I told you not to play with this thing in normal times, and you will have an accident sooner or later!" Snake's butt looked disgusted, and knocked off his hand in displeasure.This idiot spends all day making fucking gestures with a grenade.

"Where's the group seat? Why didn't you see him come down?" Meng Fan, who was not far away, looked around, but he didn't seem to see Liao Mingyu's figure.

"He and Krupp are still on the top of the mountain. They said they wanted to get rid of those foreign guns owned by Xiao Dongyang." Bu La patted the dirt on his head and said casually.

……

On the Japanese position, taking advantage of the ceasefire of the Sichuan Army, the little devil is trying his best to rescue the wounded soldiers and put out the fire.At the same time, increase the deployment of the front-line positions, and beware of the Chinese people on the other side crossing the river to attack.

At this time, Liao Mingyu, along with Krupp and Li Liansheng, several old artillerymen, was lying on the ridgeline and observing the enemy's artillery positions with binoculars.

The shooting angle of the howitzer is relatively large, and the trajectory is relatively curved. The four 105 howitzers are arranged on a gentle slope not far from the ridgeline of the ridge.

The 75 field artillery of the Japanese army could not hit the reverse slope at all, but they were able to fire on the opposite side without any scruples.It's just that firing guns here is a test of artillery skills.

Liao Mingyu first showed the enemy his weakness, and ordered all the artillery to stop firing, pretending to be suppressed by the Japanese artillery fire.The purpose is to lure the Japanese artillery to keep firing to expose its position, and to create a chance for Krupp to defeat the enemy with one blow.

"How, can you calculate their position?"

Krupp next to him was holding a single-lens high-power telescope, closely observing the opponent's artillery position, and from time to time he took out the dial and used the formula on the paper to calculate and shoot the various elements.

Don't look at this fat guy who is stupid and thick, who eats and sleeps all day long, but as long as he is allowed to fuck, he can quickly enter the state, giving people a very reliable feeling.

I can't accept it, Li Liansheng and the others can only stare at this kind of professional ballistic position calculation.

"Well, it's almost there."

Krupp raised his head and checked the distance on the other side of the river and the data recorded in his hand again. He nodded and looked at Liao Mingyu with certainty: "Commander, why don't you try shooting two shots?"

"What are you looking at me for? Go fight."

"okay!"

After speaking, Krupp hurriedly ran to the artillery position not far behind him, and quickly called the artillery to adjust the shooting angle at the howitzer.

"The target distance is about 8600 meters, the direction is 1-18, the elevation angle +3, 2 test shots, reload! Get ready... release!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The two 105 howitzers roared, and the shells flew towards the intended target at high speed.

"Captain, there is no point of impact in this position. I don't know if I hit it or not."

Li Liansheng used a telescope to carefully observe the direction of the artillery of the Japanese army on the other side. Because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly. He only knew a general direction.

Liao Mingyu was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Little Japan's shelling has stopped! It should be shifting positions. The shooting angle is right, haha. This fat man is really not bad."

"Go ahead and tell Krupp to keep shooting at this angle. Bite their..."

Liao Mingyu was about to order Li Liansheng to convey the order, but before he could finish speaking, Krupp, the tough guy, ran over panting.Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, not knowing what he was doing up here at this time.

"Captain, the two cannonballs are over, how about another two cannonballs?"

At this moment, Krupp stared blankly at Liao Mingyu. He had played for 10 minutes before and after the shelling just now, which was not enjoyable.Since shooting is as important as eating, he really wants to know if he can continue shooting.

"Hey you damn... how can you be so obedient and shoot twice when you are told? Don't give up!"

"What are you doing here? Oh my mother... why are you so tough?" Li Liansheng was also very angry at his coquettish manipulation.

Liao Mingyu slapped him on the head, and cursed angrily: "Go back and continue shooting, the artillerymen who haven't killed the little devil are not allowed to eat today!"

The sound of shelling resounded through the sky...

At the same time... the defense division on the Nujiang River is on the ground.

Yu Xiaoqing stood on his forward position, with a straight posture, and the army green coat draped around his body fluttered in the wind.

"It's not over yet..."

He was holding a binoculars and had been looking here for a long time. That Liao Mingyu didn't know what the sudden wind was, and he bombarded the west bank early in the morning.Now that the hornet's nest has been stabbed, the little devils on the west bank are not to be outdone and pulled out their artillery to fight back. The two groups of people are like children who are red-eyed in a fight.

"I don't know what that guy is doing to garrison on the Sacrificial Flag Slope. It doesn't even count as a second-line position. There is no point in arranging troops there."

Yu Xiaoqing said to herself.This Liao Mingyu really couldn't figure out what he was going to do.There is also the Zhunei Mountains on the other side, who did not attack during this period of time, and just shrank in the Nantian Gate, not knowing what kind of conspiracy they were doing.All of this revealed a touch of weirdness.

"Master, the devils were in chaos just now. In fact... we can also launch a wave of attacks. No matter what, it's good to test it..."

Zhang Lixian was standing next to him, he could see some doubts, but unfortunately he was so soft-spoken, the teacher would not listen to him at all, maybe he had plans to listen.

"Hmph! It's not that easy, have you forgotten? The information from the previous two days showed that the Japanese army had mobilized no less than a regiment of troops from various ministries, and they had gathered at Nantianmen. The strength of the Takeuchi regiment was not as strong as it appeared before. Simple."

Yu Xiaoqing shook his head, how could he be willing to use his soldiers to explore the grass when he was not fully sure.

Glancing at Jiqi Slope not far away, he frowned and said slowly: "Looks like I have to meet with Captain Liao tomorrow to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The Sichuan Army Corps and the Zhunei United Corps were separated by the Nu River, and you came and went to bombard the enemy with your own artillery.

The little devils artillery fought very hard, and from time to time, a few shells would fall on their artillery positions, killing and injuring many soldiers.They had just moved their positions, and before firing more than a dozen shells, they were bitten by the opponent again.It seems that there is a master on the opposite side!

The Devil Artillery Commander is depressed. The 75 field guns in their hands have no advantage in terms of range and power. The key point is that the opponent is still hidden on the reverse slope and cannot be hit at all.In the past half a day, two 75 field guns have been blown up by shells one after another.

The sound of artillery fire rang throughout the morning, and finally ended with the Japanese's subdued and hasty.

Takeuchi Lianshan, who was staying at the Japanese Army Headquarters, was listening to the chief of staff's report on the damage to the troops in the morning, with a face covered in dark clouds, as if his parents had died.

"Reporting to the regiment leader, after the morning's battle, 386 of our soldiers were killed and 172 were injured. The main casualties came from the enemy's incendiary bombs and the fire..."

"In addition... two Type 97 tanks were damaged, 36 people and two 75 field guns were killed on the artillery side..."

"bump!"

The water glass on the table was thrown to the ground by Takeuchi, and the chief of staff took two steps back in fright.

"When did the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire become so vulnerable!?"

"Hey!"

Takeuchi Lianshan was so angry that his face was flushed. It had already happened twice, and both times he suffered a disadvantage in front of this mysterious Chinese army, which made this high-achieving student of the Imperial Army University resentful.

He tried his best to calm himself down, and kept telling himself that a real commander couldn't be so impulsive.

Sort out the ups and downs of emotions.Takeuchi stood up, ignored the chief of staff who was still standing there like a light pole, and walked out of the headquarters alone.

He took a deep breath and looked at the army on the hill across the river with a gloomy expression. The mountain, which was not very conspicuous at first, now loomed over his heart like a scourge.

"Hehe, mysterious Huaxia officer, don't worry, the battle between you and me has just begun..."
