Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 266 Shelling!Shelling!
The Japanese Metallurgical Corps has three infantry brigades, two heavy artillery squadrons, and one heavy machine gun squadron.A total of more than 4000 people.

The village brigade was wiped out by the Dragon Boat Festival outside Changshu City.And the Dragon Boat Festival sent a fake distress telegram to the village.

The MCC devils were eager to rescue the village brigade, leaving only a small number of infantry to protect the luggage and heavy firearms, and took the brigade to Changshu to rescue the village brigade.

Due to the rapid march, the heavy weapons they brought were limited, more than a dozen trucks were galloping fast in front, and the rest of the devils could only follow behind the cars to eat ashes.

The five-kilometer rapid march took the Japanese army nearly 6 minutes.

When they arrived outside the city of Changshu, many devils collapsed on the grass beside the road.

The MCC devil got out of the car, because he could no longer hear the sound of guns coming from the direction of Changshu.

At this time, he was extremely worried, because the sound of gunfire stopped, there were only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the village repelled the enemy and stuck to the high ground outside Changshu City.But another possibility, which he least wanted to see, was that the village brigade was no longer there.

It is hard for MCC to believe this is true.Because that is the strength of a whole brigade.And in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the village brigade.He mobilized 12 80mm mortars to the village.

He couldn't imagine that the 44th Division had such strength and courage.

He sent a reconnaissance team to investigate, but the news came back that made him even more angry.Major Honmura and more than 200 imperial soldiers under his command were hanged in the woods by Chinese foot wraps.

This is Chi Guoguo's provocation, and it is an insult to his Great Japanese Empire.

The China Metallurgical devil was furious. Although he also felt that the enemy was deliberately provoking him, he still wanted to meet the Chinese commander who could wipe out the village brigade for a while.

It can be said that everything is incredible.Is this village a pig?How could he be killed outside Changshu so easily?What kind of means did the enemy use?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it.

Of course, he also had to beware of repeating the same mistakes, and ordered the troops to fully deploy, and sent two squadrons to defend the left and right wings to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks from the two wings.And he took the rest of the devils, about five squadrons, and set up a formation in the center.

Eight 80mm mortars and six 70mm mortars lined up in front of the formation.

The China Metallurgical devil took a few steps forward and said loudly towards the mountain: "I am the 16th Division of the Empire of Japan, the 30th Brigade, and the commander of the 38th Regiment Zhongyecang. May I ask who the commander on the mountain is? Who? I'm very interested in your tactics, can you come out and meet with me. Of course, if you are too timid, then just pretend I didn't say anything!"

"Hahaha!"

"Coward of China, do you dare to come out?"

MCC's subordinates let out a laugh.

However, when all the devils were laughing, Duan Wu stepped on the front of the position and shouted with a loudspeaker in his hand: "Little devil, what are you crazy about? The village brigade was killed by me." What can you do? Come up and bite me if you have the guts? A bunch of trash, useless. Didn't Matsui Iwane teach you what bushido is? "

"idiot!"

The China Metallurgical devil was very angry, but he still had to pretend to be polite and said: "Your Excellency, can you tell me your name, I am in the hands of the China Metallurgical Cang, and the unknown person is immortal."

Duan Wu looked at the China Metallurgical Warehouse with contempt and said: "The Colonel of the 88th Division Independent Regiment-Duan Wu. I fought the First Battle of the Sixing Warehouse, I robbed the POW camp, I robbed the Izumo, and the Yoshida Detachment was killed. I eliminated it. And today, I will destroy your 38th regiment under the city of Changshu. Now, do you understand?"

"Nani?"

China Metallurgical Cang was surprised, because of the name Duanwu, how could he not know it?

In the battle of Sihang Warehouse, the imperial army lost nearly 5000 people.In the prisoner-of-war camp, the defenders encountered execution-style shooting.

At the dock port, hundreds of imperial soldiers were killed, and the Izumo was seized.

The empire successively sent three fleets to intercept, two fleets were completely annihilated, and one fleet was severely damaged.This kind of record made Duan Wu the most wanted criminal of the Shanghai dispatched army.

Matsui Iwane even offered a reward of 20 for the head of the Dragon Boat Festival.

He once informed the whole army that once the Dragon Boat Festival happened, he would kill this man at all costs.

So it can be seen that Matsui Iwane hates the Dragon Boat Festival.

However, the Xiejiaqiao and Yoshida detachments were wiped out, and China Metallurgical Cang really didn't know it was Duanwu.

"Baga! Shell me! Shell!"

Metallurgical Cang shouted orders.But at this time, the Dragon Boat Festival just waved his hand, but the artillery of the 44th Division had already started.

The Dragon Boat Festival will never give the devil a chance to strike first.

Although it is not necessarily strong to strike first, it will definitely be advantageous to strike first.

Sure enough, although it was only a test firing, one of the little devil's mortars was killed.The huge explosion directly involved more than a dozen artillerymen of the devil.

The other shell was only 30 meters away from the China Metallurgical warehouse.The old devil was not taken away by a cannonball after checking in the metallurgical warehouse.Scared, he rolled and crawled and was rescued by his own men.

At the same time, the Japanese army's central army was blooming everywhere, and the artillery on the top of the mountain was attacking the devils indiscriminately, firing rapidly.

This kind of shelling is not targeted, so the devils have no way to avoid it.They can only gamble on luck, and they will not hit the shell in the next second.

Of course, the devil's artillery is not just a group of wine bags and rice bags.In a hurry, the shells were also dropped in the barrel.A wave of shells also fell on the mountain.

But because the devils fired in a hurry, their hit rate was not high, and only one shell landed on the top of the mountain.But at this time, except for the soldiers of the 44th Division of a company who were deployed on the front, there were only more than 100 artillerymen.

The rest of the 44th Division were arranged to the back of the mountain by the Dragon Boat Festival.

Along the mountain, they cut off the soil vertically, forming a narrow foothold around the mountain.The devil's shells can't hit here at all, even if they cross the top of the mountain, they can only hit the bottom of the mountain.

Therefore, the first round of shelling by the little devil had no effect at all.

Duan Wu gave a loud order: "Find a few artillerymen with a high hit rate and fight the devil's artillery first. Whether this artillery battle can be won or not depends on you. Destroy the little devil's artillery and force the little devil to fight us head-on. ,quick!"

"Yes!"

The artillery of the 44th Division had never fought such a valiant battle.In wars in the past, the chiefs lived by counting shells.Because except for the direct descendants of the Central Army, no army is rich.The shells are fired one less.There is even no place to replenish some shells when they run out.

Because the Chinese army had too many artillery models at that time.Every country has them.And the age of some artillery pieces is from the grandparents.Cannons have been discontinued, let alone shells?

Therefore, this shell is one less than one.When the shells run out, the artillery bought at a huge price will be reduced to a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron!
