The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 446 The Means of the Heavy Artillery Battalion (Part [-])
There was no one around who could answer Lieutenant General Sato's question.

The sudden blow also frightened them, and they didn't react for a long time, let alone explain the reason behind it.

"Division commander... there is a situation behind the blocking position of the independent regiment..." The exclamation from the observation post suddenly brought them back to reality.

Looking up, I saw hundreds of thousands of black smoke suddenly appearing from behind the independent regiment's blocking position...

It was densely packed, slowly rose to the sky, and then diffused at an altitude of one or two hundred meters...

"What do you mean by the independent regiment? Is it possible that you want to use the thick smoke to repel the attacking troops? I don't understand why..." A staff officer asked with a puzzled face.

"These thick smoke is used to deal with the aircraft, and has nothing to do with the attacking troops!" Sato Zhongzhong was the first to react, watching the thicker and thicker black smoke behind the blocking position and said sharply.

The combat staff still didn't understand, and continued to ask: "But it's not a battlefield there, so what's worth bombing by planes!"

"Artillery positions..." Lieutenant General Sato said at the same time as the chief of staff.

After looking at each other, they ordered in a hurry: "Hurry up and notify the mountain artillery brigade and infantry artillery positions... move immediately..."

"The offensive troops are also withdrawn, especially the tank squadron, hurry up..."

"Woooooooo..."

As soon as the order was spoken, before it could be transmitted, the scream of shells across the sky was already ringing in my ears.

"Rumble..."

The sound of the explosion came quickly, and dozens of black smoke rose from the three artillery positions at the same time...

"Rumble..."

A series of close-range explosions came from the front, and a group of people looked up and saw more than a dozen fireballs rising from the middle of the attacking troops...

The artillery staff officer next to him panicked on the spot, and shouted in disbelief: "This is impossible..."

"The Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Independent Regiment has been severely damaged by our army, how could there be so many artillery..."

"Division commander... just now at least twelve mountain artillery pieces, four large-caliber mountain artillery pieces, and twelve large-caliber mortar artillery pieces fired at us together..."

"The Mountain Field Artillery Brigade and the Infantry Artillery Squad suffered heavy losses, but now they were caught off guard again... No matter how fast the transfer speed is, they can't keep a few artillery pieces..."

"Our artillery is out..."

The chief of staff observing the attacking force followed suit and shouted: "Not good... two tanks of the tank squadron were hit by shells..."

"Division Commander, the Flying Thunder Cannons of the Independent Regiment on the blocking position also participated in the battle... two more tanks were hit..."

An orderly ran towards them at the same time, panting and reporting: "Division commander..."

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the supply troops used a large number of mortars and thunder cannons..."

"The puppet army and the imperial army protecting the supplies and ammunition suffered heavy casualties. A lot of supplies and ammunition were destroyed in the battle, and a martyrdom occurred... Further increasing our losses..."

"The independent regiment attacking the heavy artillery brigade has reached the periphery of the artillery position and is rushing into the artillery position. It is almost impossible to hold..."

Lieutenant General Sato immediately ordered: "Let the planes in the sky immediately attack the heavy artillery battalion of the independent regiment and blow up their heavy artillery positions!"

"As long as the Mountain Artillery Brigade and the Infantry Artillery Squad don't suffer too much loss, they can immediately support the Heavy Artillery Brigade and the supply troops..."

"Weng buzzing..."

The plane in the sky has already begun to dive, and through the black smoke in the air, the pilot vaguely sees an artillery position, and they are the target of the dive now.

Only by rushing into the smoke and diving at low altitude to drop bombs can he be sure to hit the target accurately.

The stance plane rushed into the smoke without hesitation, preparing to dive for another two seconds, and pressed the bomb release button after completely locking on the target.

"Dong dong dong..."

Three strings of bullets suddenly flew towards him, and several bullets just hit the fuselage, making a crisp metal impact sound.

The devil pilot heard it clearly, and an inexplicable tension immediately hit his heart, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead at the same time...

Quickly pull the joystick to climb, and press the bomb button at the same time...

The plane climbed to high altitude smoothly, and the incendiary bomb also hit the ground with a screaming sound, and there was a dull explosion, and the flames shot into the sky...

Unfortunately, under the disturbance of three heavy machine guns and billowing smoke on the ground, the incendiary bomb did not hit the target and landed about [-] meters away from the artillery position...

When the Japanese aircraft dropped bombs, Chen Daliang, the commander of the heavy artillery battalion, was more nervous than anyone else!
He has used all the air defense means he can use...

In order to let the thick smoke achieve the effect of covering the sky and the sun, not only sent out all the manpower that the heavy artillery battalion could deploy, but also asked the regiment leader to borrow two local troops, more than a dozen guerrillas...

Groups of two or three people scattered around various artillery positions to create smoke...

After confirming that the first incendiary bomb dropped by the plane did not hit the target, he dared to let go of his hanging heart.

The deputy battalion commander was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "Battalion commander, if we knew that the air defense effect of using thick smoke and heavy machine guns is so good, we should have done it from the beginning!"

"If the infantry could get our artillery support at any time when they were defending their positions, they wouldn't have fought so badly!"

Chen Daliang shook his head and explained: "Thick smoke combined with heavy machine guns for anti-aircraft is not a panacea...it is only useful at this time!"

"If there are three planes in the sky, not one!"

"Just now the devil dropped three incendiary bombs at the same time, not one... Do you think we can keep the field artillery position we are targeting?"

The instructor approved of Chen Daliang's analysis very much, and looked at the flames rising from the incendiary bomb not far away and replied seriously: "It must not be saved!"

"The air defense effect of thick smoke combined with heavy machine guns is very limited. At most, it will make the plane's bomb accuracy worse, but the devil can make up for this problem through the number of bombs dropped."

"The incendiary bomb exploded a large area..."

"Three incendiary bombs fell at the same time, and a radius of [-] meters will be blown into a sea of ​​flames. As long as the bombing point deviates from the target by no more than [-] meters, our artillery positions will be affected... Weng Buzzing..."

When the instructor was about to continue talking, the plane that returned to the sky roared down again...

In this dive, the Jap pilot obviously learned the lesson just now. As soon as the fuselage rushed into the thick smoke, he pressed the bomb release button and dropped three incendiary bombs at the same time.

"Rumble..."

In the dull explosion, the field artillery position that had just escaped a catastrophe was not spared this time...

Except for dozens of gunners who escaped by chance, all four field guns were engulfed in flames.

The smile on the deputy battalion commander's face froze instantly, and he was both indignant and unwilling.

Chen Daliang obviously expected this scene a long time ago, although he was heartbroken, he quickly forced himself to calm down, looked at the field artillery and said with relief.

"Although the field artillery company is gone...but he managed to consume the devil's three incendiary bombs..."

"There is only one plane with six incendiary bombs in the sky, and after throwing them away, they will become decorations..."

"This is the real purpose of our air defense with thick smoke and heavy machine guns!"

"The artillery companies continue to fire, increase the rate of fire, shoot out all the required shells in the shortest time, and then transfer immediately..."
