My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 514

How does it feel to be bombarded with tons of shells hitting your head in a few minutes?This answer may only be clear to the little devils in the 533 Heights now.

The Japanese soldiers on the edge of the shelling frantically fled towards the back of the mountain, only because they didn't grow a pair of wings, because the only way to survive is to hide in the reverse slope where the shells cannot hit.

And for those soldiers who stayed in the frontal position and had no time to escape, under the terrifying power of a shell that created a crater more than ten meters wide, any trenches, foxholes... and so-called bunkers and cat ear holes became decorations. The people staying at the center of the explosion either evaporated in situ with the roar, or their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave.

Except for underground tunnels and concrete permanent fortifications, there is no bunker that can withstand the bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery, and all this is just the beginning.

The two artillery regiments of the Heavy Artillery Brigade combined nearly eighty artillery pieces with a caliber of 105 or more. With just one round of salvo, the three tons of shells were wiped out, and nearly a thousand little devils disappeared with it.

Li Liansheng did not order to continue to fire with full firepower, but ordered the artillery groups of one of the artillery regiments to fire intermittently in sequence, as long as the firepower was sustained.

Although the volley of hundreds of guns was fired well, the astonishing consumption of the shells was even more terrifying than the power of the explosion. It was really too shy to bear such a toss.

At the same time, the two infantrymen who had been staying by the river for a long time received the order to attack. Taking advantage of the fact that the devils in the position had no time to take care of them during the shelling, they broke up and set off from the shoal of the upstream river, using the exposed riverbed to come to the battlefield. Zhongba swamp, and then use the bushes outside as a cover, quietly bypass the Japanese river bank defense line, and go to the foot of the mountain ahead.

The [-]th Battalion of the [-]st and [-]th Battalions along the rear had already finished their retreat. Although the shelling frequency had been reduced, it did not stop. Instead, it gradually extended to the top of the mountain. The Artillery Battalion of the Eighth Main Regiment also joined in, covering the retreating troops to charge the Japanese defense line. .

The current soldiers of the Eighth Division are quite inexperienced in the battle of tough battles. The firepower in the front is suppressed, and the eight-man tactics in the rear are a trapezoidal offensive. The 60 and 80 mortars at the company and battalion level accurately retreat and clean up each firepower point, causing heavy casualties and manpower. The full-fledged Japanese army could only respond passively, and soon fell into the upper hand.

On the other side, the battle of the armored brigade has also retreated into Bethlehem. The soldiers have seized the two hills in the southwest corner, and the Japanese army has entered the front line of defense in the lowlands. However, due to the small slope, tanks and armored vehicles have no way to go down. Being able to rely on infantry to charge hard, the battlefield fell into a stalemate again for a while.

Did the Lubin River continue to fight the Japanese army at the 501 lowland? Now that several important hills have been captured, the devils who entered the top of the hill have become a lone army.

I immediately organized the armored forces to move eastward and push back from the mountains towards the hinterland of Ren'anqiang.However, there were still many Japanese obstacles along the way, and the fierce battle between the two sides had not yet begun.

"Reporting to the brigade, the Japanese army on the top of the mountain has entered and defended Gongzipo, the first battalion has fully captured the 501 lowland, the eighth attack group and the fourth battalion of the tank regiment have reached Changgong village, and the eighth battalion retreating from the south has been attacked by the Japanese army. Ambush, calling for backup."

Along the command post of the armored brigade, Lu Binhe, who had just sat down and was about to take a breath, immediately stood up again before hearing the orderer's report: "The opponent's strength is not much?"

"We are currently exchanging fire, and the specific situation has not yet been ascertained." The orderly replied.

"Let the Seventh Company of the Tank Regiment go to support, try to stabilize the front and send the wounded back, and at the same time...inform Regiment Commander Fan that the casualties of the First Battalion of the Infantry Regiment are too small, and tell us to withdraw first and let the guard battalion go down." Lu Bin He thought for a moment before making an arrangement.

"Then...you can sit on your side's defense..."

"Don't be a mother-in-law, follow the order!"

Looking at the battle report under the table, Lu Binhe closed his eyes with a headache. The battle was fought from morning to evening, both sides were exhausted, and the consumption of ammunition and casualties of soldiers were astronomical.

The information is still correct. At least there is no division of the Japanese army outside. No one would have thought that a small Ren'anqiang would encounter such tenacious resistance. The most important thing is that the battlefield environment is beneficial to oneself. Such a small plain covered on eight sides has already been penetrated by me.

Fortunately, the bomber formation in the middle passed the ammunition replenishment at the Baihe base, turned back again and carried out another wave of bombing. Jamie's fighter squadron directly became a "ground-licking killer" on the battlefield. Only the big devils who died in the air strike It was countless, and we didn't leave that sky until nightfall.

But generally speaking, Ren'an Qiang is still in the hands of the Japanese. Now that the sky is getting dark, it is already suitable for launching a small-scale retreat. Besides, there are few troops outside the hands that can still go into battle.

The big devils are like a group of bedbugs who are pinched to death. Obviously we have been hit by such fierce firepower, and several lines of defense have been destroyed one after another, but no one survived in this crack and continued to fight desperately. A potent sense of frustration.

Thinking of that... even if everything is what he wants, Lu Binhe has no choice but to prepare to stop the drums and ring the gold first, let the soldiers repair and repair first, the first task is to ensure that there is no situation, so as not to be pushed back by the opponent, but so little hard work in a day is dead People are all wasted.

"Traveler, the latest telegram!"

Just when Lu Binhe was secretly sad, the communication soldier behind the radio station took off his earphones and handed a telegram to my subordinate.

"Huh? Nonsense! Why did that brat come here?"

Lu Binhe's face changed slightly, Hong Mu actually led the chariot regiment to the Ren'an Qiang battlefield, and now our vanguard is already ten kilometers away from the command post, which was really unexpected.

"Can you reach us by cable now?"

"Back to the travel seat, communication is being established."

The communications soldier brought out an SCR-300 cable radio station, pulled out the long antenna to the minimum position, and ended the connection through the communication channel marked under the telegram.

"Call 1-02, that's the brigade headquarters, please answer..."

The minimum communication distance of that backpack-type walkie-talkie is 536 kilometers. The SCR-[-] portable walkie-talkie popularized by the troops earlier is a simplified version of it.

In contrast, the SCR-300 is smaller in size and requires professional communication soldiers to operate in front of the body. It does not have an extended "dancing" antenna and microphone, which can realize medium and long-distance intercom calls.

Although the communication distance is lower than that of traditional radio stations, the communication distance is at least eighty-seven kilometers away from portable walkie-talkies. It is also equipped with noise reduction equipment, which can make the voice communication between the two parties very vague, which is very convenient for the troops. transfer of commands.

"...Zizi...1-02 Communications Department received..."

"Please report the situation of his department, now..."

The communicator was about to ask, but Lu Feiwan came down and took the microphone: "You are Lu Feiwan, let Chief of Staff Hong report to you personally!"

The communications soldier at this end seems to have heard the bright tone of our brigade, and he dared to reply quickly: "Report to the brigade, you are the liaison team to explore the way first, and the chief of staff is not there right now. If you If there is no order, you can convey it for you."

Lu Binhe frowned, suppressed his anger and asked sharply, "Why did they appear there? Did you tell the chariot regiment to go with the transport regiment until the supplies were delivered?"

"Zizi... Go back to the brigade seat. The chief of staff was worried about the situation on the rear battlefield, so he took your small regiment and set off first, but left the Eighth Battalion and the Supply Battalion to guard the transportation regiment."

"Fart! Didn't they ask you for instructions? Hong Mu has learned to obey orders now, right!? I will dismiss me later!"

Occasionally, the calm and steady Lu Binhe was so angry that he swears. It is conceivable that Hong Mu has a lot of courage.

It's time for that guy to come. It's time for my mother. After losing her temper, Lu Feiwan asked the other party: "Report your location immediately!"

"Zizi...yes! Your department is far away from the small bridge of Chen Jize. The first battalion has already crossed the bridge and assembled on the south bank. The seventh battalion will complete the task of crossing the river half an hour ago. Please give instructions."

"Chen Jize?"

Lu Binhe's eyes lit up, and he took a small step to the map to check the location. This small bridge of Chen Jize was 77 kilometers away from his own location, and at the speed of the chariot regiment, it would take at least half an hour to drive from here. Can reach the battlefield and launch a retreat attack.

"Order...to ask Chief of Staff Hong to assemble his troops within half an hour, rush to Lowland 501 within an hour, and make all preparations for battle. If there is no mistake, you can ask me!"

……

However, I know that the Japanese army also feels the same way. Inanqiang Defense Commander Majima Sushiro almost suffered from a heart attack. The 46th Division I commanded also included a 26th Independent Mixed Brigade with a total of 2 people. The army actually broke through several lines of defense after only one day of fighting, and almost all the regiments stationed in these lowlands in Liwei were beaten into an organizational system.

Airplanes, tanks and small cannons, the firepower is completely at the same level, and the casualties are close to half in one day. If I shrink the defense in time and advance to the front, I guess the enemy in the east will retreat into the city at that time.

Originally, a few support troops rushed over from Nay Pyi Taw, but they were cut off by the enemy halfway. We also know how these Chinese people ran to the front. Why is our combat effectiveness so weak?

At the moment, I can only pray that the reinforcements who dare to come can break through the Huaxia reinforcements and leave the field to clear the siege, otherwise it is only a matter of time before the troops outside my hands are wiped out.
