I am helping

new state.

Today is sunny and sunny.

The new group of heavy artillery positions.

Thirty-one 31mm howitzers are arranged in three rows, and behind the gun positions are stacked neatly like a mountain of ammunition boxes.

Around the artillery position, there are more than 60 machine guns and 20 anti-aircraft guns for protection. Although there are tanks to attract the devil's planes, we must also guard against the devil's planes to blow up the heavy artillery position.

"Commander, get ready!"

After the shooting of the last gun was adjusted and the shells and powder were loaded, an artilleryman reported loudly to Yao Shangwu.

The devil's position is very large, with several trenches. What the heavy artillery battalion has to do is to cover it with artillery fire, and try to plow the entire devil's position in the shortest possible time.

Then, taking advantage of the devils' inattention, two tank battalions pressed up and defeated the elite 2th regiment of the devils in the Type A division in one fell swoop.

Some observers used the precision method to determine the shooting elements, and the error would not be very large, as long as most of the shells fell on the devil's position.

Suzuki Eisuke looked at the communications captain beside him.

But Suzuki Eisuke didn't panic at all, and even looked forward to it.

Before the shot hit the ground, the gunner took out the second shell from the shell box and put it into the barrel, charging the gunpowder and closing the breech bolt in one go, as if hammered hard.

"Full Free Fire!"

Until the first tank came out of the gunpowder smoke, its tracks rolled over the scorched earth, and its engine roared towards the trench.

This was expected by Tadamichi Kuribayashi, but listening to the rumbling gunfire several kilometers away, combined with the report of the captain of the 39th Regiment.

During the Battle of Northwest Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army had about 20 heavy artillery firepower, and now it has reached the level of a heavy artillery regiment.

"tank?"

……

The power of a 150mm howitzer is not comparable to that of a 75mm mountain gun and a 105mm howitzer.

Yao Shangwen reported the readiness of the artillery position to the regiment headquarters, and the next moment he received an order from the regiment headquarters to fire the artillery.

His confidence comes from the honor of the Class A Division and the 4 elite teams behind him.

……

The gunshots rang out like popping beans, the tank guns fired, and the devil's machine gun points and rapid-fire gun positions were knocked out one by one, and there was no way to fight back.

Accompanied by the loud sound of firing, beautiful orange-red fireworks bloomed from the muzzle of the gun, and the scorching air wave swept across, causing smoke and dust to rise from the entire gun position.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Eisuke's eyes became a little hot. After this battle, maybe a few large-caliber heavy artillery from the Eighth Route Army could be captured?

Kuribayashi Tadamichi did not immediately call for reinforcements from the aviation unit, but said to the communications staff: "Ask the 108th Artillery Regiment, if they can find the eight-way heavy artillery position and implement countermeasures?"

Obviously, the heavy artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army has been strengthened again.

Fortunately, only a small number of soldiers were left in the exposed trench positions, and most of the soldiers of the 39th Regiment were in the hidden trenches behind. Otherwise, the 39th Regiment would have suffered heavy losses from such fierce artillery fire.

A devil machine gunner was blown in the head by the M2 heavy machine gun in an instant.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom! ...

At the same time, the dirt drenched the devil officers in the headquarters of the 39th Regiment like rain.

After about 10 minutes, the artillery fire finally slowly thinned out. First, sporadic shells fell and exploded overhead, until finally the sound of the artillery disappeared completely.

The communications staff put down the phone and reported the situation of the 39th Regiment to Major General Tadamichi Kuribayashi.

One after another, 150mm high-explosive grenades landed on the positions of the 39th Regiment.

Based on the principle that fighters are fleeting, Kuribayashi Tadao nodded: "As soon as the sound of the artillery stops, the 13th Cavalry Regiment, the 13th Tank Regiment, and the 62nd Infantry Regiment will press up immediately. With Xu Jin's barrage cover, he defeated the Xinyi Regiment in one fell swoop!"

It was hard to imagine that this group of mud-legged people hiding in the ravine had such powerful artillery firepower.

Suddenly, intermittent sharp whistling sounded in the sky, and as time passed, the whistling sound became louder and louder from far to near.

The chief of staff of the detachment looked at Tadamichi Kuribayashi with a questioning tone.

At the same time, the artillery soldier kneeling on one knee in charge of firing the gun pulled back the matchlock in his hand, and the gunners knelt on one knee, bent over and covered their ears.

What's more, this time Li Yunlong prepared 2 tank battalions for the devils!

Boom boom boom... With the sound of firing, another round of shells rushed out of the barrel and was fired at the position of the 10th Regiment of the Japanese Army 39 kilometers away.

Although Suzuki Eisuke also knew that the new regiment was well-equipped and even had large-caliber heavy artillery, he didn't panic at all.

The communication captain quickly grabbed the phone, then quickly shook the handle, and put the phone to his ear: "Moxi Moxi, this is the 39th Regiment..."

In Suzuki Eisuke's view, the 39th Regiment, as an elite Regiment of the Class A Division, has a fighting will and combat effectiveness that are not comparable to those bumpkins in the valley.

Thousands of hard training have the gunners perfect movements.

The new group of machine gunners in the Leopard tank opened fire with a sneer, and the tracer chains volleyed towards the devils in the devil's forward position like whips.

"Major General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, please apply to the headquarters of the North China Front Army, dispatch the air force, and blow up the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army!"

Lilin Squadron immediately ordered the communications staff to report this important situation to the frontline headquarters and request aviation reinforcements.

"Fools are active!"

Suzuki Eisuke's expression froze. As a professional soldier, he naturally knew that it was the sound of metal bullets tearing through the sky at high speed.

Accompanied by huge mud mist and gunpowder smoke, the sound of rolling explosions shook the sky.

Kuribayashi Chumichi suddenly felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of any clues.

Free fire at full speed, the fast loading speed does not need to wait for the slow loading speed, and there is no need for the flag commander to order unified firing, which can achieve the most efficient shelling effect.

Although the 150mm heavy artillery is usually placed in the tunnel, the heavy artillery battalion is stationed together with the tunnel, and the gunners will have training in loading shells and charging every day.

At this moment, there was no sound on the ground in an instant, only the sound of explosions like landslides and ground cracks, violent explosions, no matter the devils who were close or the devils who were far away, the eardrums seemed to be shattered!
Immediately afterwards, the second and third rounds of shells fell on the devil's position and exploded!

A 150mm howitzer exploded nearby, sending a cloud of mud down through cracks in the wood at the top of the headquarters, covering the map on the table.

"Major General, the heavy artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army will not last long. As soon as the artillery sounds stop, the infantry and cavalry of the Eighth Route Army should press up. Do you want the 13th Cavalry Regiment, the 13th Tank Regiment, and the 62nd Infantry Regiment to press up? ?”

According to intelligence, the Eighth Route New First Regiment has arrived and is about to launch an attack.

"Keep firing!"

……

Although the new regiment was equipped with anti-tank weapons, when dozens of tanks rushed from the opposite side, the feeling of oppression was not something ordinary people could withstand.

"Immediately report to Major General Lilin that the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery unit is bombarding our forward positions. According to the density of artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army's artillery unit is a heavy artillery unit."

The devil's communication captain tried to maintain a fluent tone and reported the situation to the detachment headquarters.

boom boom boom…

"Na...ni?"

immediately.

Lilin detachment headquarters.

"Hi!"

"Let go!" followed the voice of Battalion Commander Yao.

After a while, the communications staff hung up the phone and immediately reported to Tadamichi Kuribayashi: "Master Sakai Ginzo reported that the Eighth Artillery position is about 39 kilometers away from the 10th Regiment, which is beyond the range of the 108th Artillery Regiment!"

Heavy Artillery Wing... not even the 10th Division, only units like the Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade or the 1st Division are equipped.

Combat in plain terrain is different from that in mountains. Since you have the strength of crushing, you don't need to pull back and forth, just crush it.

But after all, these are devil soldiers from the Type A division, and they quickly stabilized their minds, quickly pulled out the anti-tank gun and the 37mm rapid-fire gun, and completed aiming and firing the gun in a very short period of time. Proficiency far exceeds that of ordinary devils.

The communications staff quickly contacted the 108th artillery position.

Suddenly, a strange roar of motors reached the ears of the devils of the 39th Division.

It used to be the little devil's tactic, but now it has been reversed. The artillery of the Eighth Route Army bombarded the infantry and charged.

And it was still a heavy artillery bombardment of the infantry.

In Yao Shangwen's angry voice, the artillery soldiers' expressions were stern, and the fire in their eyes was burning.

The devils suddenly had disbelief on their faces, and exclaimed in horror.

"Da da da…"

Underestimate this group of mud legs, this shelling firepower is comparable to that of a 150mm heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese army!

The little devils lay in the trenches, pointing their rifles and machine guns in the direction of the smoke. Since the smoke had not completely dissipated, it was impossible to see how many Eighth Route Army troops had come.

Seeing the Eighth Route Army tanks firing first, the captain of the Devils gave an order to attack.

The 39th Wing Headquarters, the leader of the [-]th Wing, Eisuke Suzuki, had a cold and confident expression on his face.

In the distance, in the headquarters of the 39th Regiment, Suzuki Eisuke couldn't help but look solemn after seeing this scene.

There was a sneer on the corner of Kuribayashi Tadao's mouth. He had already expected that the expressions of the Tuba Road soldiers when they saw the cavalry regiment and tank regiment suddenly appearing on the battlefield should be very exciting.

From the trenches at the rear, the devils entered the forward position with machine guns and rifles, ready to meet the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The devils in the trench immediately looked at each other, what's going on?
The devils of the Type A Division never thought that the Tuba Road would be equipped with tanks, and they were not even mentally prepared.

But... if Kuribayashi Tadmichi knew that each squad of the Shinichi regiment was equipped with a bazooka, he probably wouldn't think so.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army all shrank behind the tanks, not showing their heads at all. Although the devils' marksmanship was accurate, they had to be seen to hit people.

The armor-piercing ability of the Devil's Type 20 anti-tank gun is 30mm to 30mm, and the armor-piercing ability of the Devil's Type 40 rapid-fire gun is 100-[-]mm. Weapons can't break through the defense of the Leopard tank at all.

Seeing that the tanks of the Eighth Route Army were about to approach the forward positions, devils kept rushing out of the trenches with bombs in their arms, trying to die with the tanks.

In terms of combat will, the Japanese soldiers of the Type A Division are indeed among the best.

But it was of no use. The next moment, the infantry of the Eighth Route Army who followed the tank was beaten into a sieve with a submachine gun!
