Chapter 156 Bombardment! Shelling! Shelling!

"Large-scale shelling!"

Within the brigade headquarters,

Xu Ping looked at the artillery deployment map on the table, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

This is not excitement, but nervousness,

When he thought that 50,000 artillery shells would fall on the Japanese positions tomorrow, Xu Ping felt very excited, unparalleled excitement, but more importantly, he was nervous.

Sixty-two 120 heavy mortars,

That's sixty-two artillery groups,

Sixty-two gun emplacements,

He and the brigade staff are required to command and deploy.

It's a big project.

The troops have never experienced such a huge firepower deployment. Without a little experience, they need to explore everything by themselves, even if there are foreign examples and military teaching materials from independent regiments.

It is also a difficult task.

Moreover, these artillery groups come from various units, including independent regiments, headquarters, 386 brigade, division headquarters, and other divisions.

Lack of unified preparation.

Fortunately, the new walkie-talkies have enough channels to accommodate 500 call channels, and the work is much simpler.

There are enough brigade staff officers,

that night,

Sixty-two artillery groups from the entire army were temporarily organized into ten artillery batteries under the unified command of the brigade headquarters. Under the cover of night, they were deployed along the road from Yangcun to Shangcun.

Including the independent regiment, the eight main regiments of the 386th Brigade, with more than 20,000 people, also deployed along the artillery positions and began to build positions.

The reconnaissance force began to conduct a detailed investigation of the Japanese positions and deployment.

···

"Nani?"

At the same time, the 27th Division.

This Nani of San Dao Zhenfu is different from before.

This time, it was full of surprises and disbelief.

Because the Sakata Regiment's regiment flag was captured, this incident was very strange, forcing the 27th Division to shrink its defense to prepare for possible attacks and avoid another regiment flag being robbed.

But San Dao Zhenfu will not forget that the locust army has an absolute advantage at this time.

He will naturally send out a large number of reconnaissance troops to spread the investigation.

The movements of the eight main regiments of the 386th Brigade, with more than 20,000 people, naturally could not avoid the sight of the Japanese.

Especially when there are Japanese planes conducting reconnaissance.

Although the mountainous terrain is not suitable for precision dive bombing due to the complex terrain, nor is it suitable for strafing, the movements of more than 20,000 people cannot be concealed.

When Sandao Zhenfu knew that the troops of the 386th Brigade began to gather, he was naturally full of surprises.

"Yoshi."

He nodded repeatedly and looked at the Eighth Route Army's deployment gradually becoming clearer on the map on the table, his eyes glowing green.

This time,

The 386th Brigade must be taught a lesson.

"General."

"Today, Tubal Road is very powerful and has a large number of heavy artillery. Although it lacks training, it cannot be underestimated."

The chief of staff on the side reminded him.

"I know."

If San Dao Zhenfu can serve as the division commander, he is certainly not a fool.

"Judging from the current deployment of the Eighth Route Army, defense is the main focus. They want to tempt us to attack."

The time was still short and the investigation was not comprehensive enough, but San Dao Zhenfu still identified the position deployment of the 386th Brigade.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

The three true husbands decided to remain immovable in response to all changes.

In a mountainous terrain, on a territory that is more familiar than others, attacking an enemy with a large number of mortars and powerful communication capabilities, Sando Zhenfu is not that stupid.

"The division commander is wise."

The chief of staff immediately flattered him.

But Masao Sando and the Chief of Staff of the 27th Division never expected that what awaited them this time was a barrage of 100,000 rounds of artillery shells.

···

the next day. .

"How to do it?"

In a temporary confinement room converted from a private house, Funejima's eyes were dull, but his mind was thinking at high speed.

The regimental flag was seized.

The captain of the flag guard committed seppuku and committed suicide.

Knowing the location of the alliance flag, he naturally became the first suspect.

Although many of the reasons for suspicion were far-fetched, the superiors needed someone to take the blame, and he was just unlucky to be the first choice.

Tominojima is self-aware.

Resistance is impossible.

He, a lieutenant, could not resist the downward pressure of the regiment commander and division commander.

He also didn't want to commit suicide like the captain of the flag guard team.

The Locust still needs him, the Empire still needs him, and the Holy War has not yet been completed. He cannot die, or in other words, he cannot die here. He should die on the battlefield, fighting with the enemies who block the Empire's Holy War.

Therefore, what Tominojima is thinking about now is how to save himself.

It's just that he is just a lieutenant.

At most, he can only serve as a squad leader or acting squadron leader.

In the Locust Army system, they are the lower-ranking officers among the lower-ranking officers.

The regiment flag was seized. This was a big pot that even the division commander could not bear. Now the biggest suspicion was on his head. In the end, even if there was evidence to prove that he had nothing to do with him, his life would be over.

Let Fuyejima not know what to do.

As a lieutenant, what background could he have?

Do you really want to die here?

In the end, he must have been forced to commit suicide!

Even if he is asked to go to the battlefield and shed the last drop of blood for the Locust, it is impossible. For the glory of the alliance flag, he must commit suicide by committing seppuku in order to forge the spirit of Bushido.

Where is the problem?

For the first time, Tominojima felt a little shaken in his heart.

Why, he worked so hard for the Locust Army, the Empire, and the Holy War, but in the end he ended up like this.

What went wrong?

Doubts just arose, and suddenly,

Sudden.

boom··

A violent explosion rose next to the confinement room, and by chance, it landed near several Japanese guards guarding Funo Island, killing all of them on the spot.

Also blow up the confinement room.

"Shelling?"

"Enemy shelling?"

In his shock, Tominojima didn't notice the miracle that he was only about ten meters away from the explosion but was unscathed.

He stared wide-eyed at the smoke that had not yet dissipated in front of him.

In terms of power, this is a heavy artillery.

and,

Listening to the shelling from all directions, Tominojima, a veteran, instantly judged that at least dozens of them were firing at the same time.

What does Tubalu want to do?

then,

The only thing left in Tominojima's ears was the violent explosion, which also interrupted his thoughts and made him understand the current situation. He immediately hid in the first single pit.

·

"fire!"

"fire!"

Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander shouted happily.

Although this bombardment did not require his command, it was jointly commanded and deployed by the brigade staff and the independent regiment staff.

But the brigade still screamed joyfully.

Like...

"This guy."

"Why does it look like a dog?"

The teacher's tone was disgusting.

The voice was loud and the brigade commander heard it, but he didn't care at all. Still,

"fire!"

"fire!"

The cry was very joyful:

"Shoot all the cannonballs for me!"

"Hahaha···"

Although he was despised by the division commander, the brigade commander didn't care. He was in a happy mood at this time.

very happy. In this life, only when I joined the party, my mood can be compared with now.

Thinking about the past, although the brigade headquarters also had an artillery battalion, two Type 82 infantry guns, and several mortars, judging from the barrels, the firepower was actually not weak.

But there are really few shells!

very few!

In the past, when he gave orders, he always fired all the cannonballs, and he had to add at the end that the day was over to make him feel better.

and,

Many times, as soon as his order was given, the sound of artillery stopped before the phone was hung up.

Because the shells have been fired.

If the army can still fire more than ten bullets per gun, a regiment can fire thousands of bullets in one battle, but with artillery shells, even a brigade cannot wait for ten rounds from each artillery.

Usually only four or five rounds.

Each artillery has less than four or five rounds of shells, so what can it do?

Just listen and that's it.

According to the artillery shooting process, the first few shots are calibrated, and then there is nothing more.

but now··

"Hahaha···"

The brigade commander continued to laugh wildly.

Sixty-two 120 heavy artillery pieces, rounds of artillery shells, each artillery piece has rounds of artillery shells.

Such a wealthy day.

How many times have you laughed?

Even if the smile doesn't look good.

how?

Can the teacher punish him because he smiles badly?

"Report, the calibration has been completed. Our six artillery batteries and sixty-two 120 heavy guns have all been calibrated."

It seemed like it was the first time to report this kind of order, and the correspondent's tone was somewhat repetitive.

"Sixty-two heavy guns!"

Ignoring the brigade commander's weird laughter, the division commander suddenly asked:

"What kind of establishment is this abroad?"

"According to the Japanese organization."

"Twelve 105 howitzers are an independent artillery brigade. Our 120 heavy mortars are as powerful as the Japanese 105 howitzers, or even more powerful."

"Sixty-two 120 mortars, which is equivalent to five Japanese independent artillery brigades."

"It's equivalent to a Japanese heavy artillery brigade!"

The deputy general staff responded directly.

"Heavy artillery brigade!"

"Heavy artillery brigade!"

The teacher was still immersed in disbelief.

Then··

"Full speed bombardment!"

The brigade commander suddenly spoke and gave the order for a full-speed artillery attack.

"Yes!"

The staff officer immediately issued the order over the radio.

"?"

The division commander came to his senses and suddenly looked at the brigade commander with his eyes wide open, his eyes unkind.

Your boy? !

Although the command this time belongs to the 386th Brigade, theoretically, the division headquarters does not participate in the command.

But he was a division commander here, and he had just spoken just now, preparing an order. Logically speaking, he should have issued the order and then conveyed it to the brigade headquarters.

Although everyone is in the same headquarters, it is no problem for the brigade headquarters to give direct orders.

But the order for the troops' first large-scale bombardment was snatched away.

The division commander found it hard to calm down. He thought back to the fact that this guy had sold 200,000 tons of grain to him and the boss in two batches, harvesting the headquarters and division headquarters twice.

Under the old and new grudges,

The division commander walked toward the brigade commander with an evil look in his eyes.

"Hahaha··"

The brigade commander didn't realize it and was still as happy as a child.

"There's a good show to watch!"

Li Yunlong, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly became energetic, and then quietly opened the camera in his hand. He had just asked for a hidden camera from Brother Lu, and pointed it at the brigade commander and division commander.

It took him a lot of effort to pry this from Brother Lu.

film used,

Capable of taking a hundred photos.

····

boom···

boom···

explosion.

Explodes violently.

There were explosions everywhere.

"what happened?"

Sando Masao is also a veteran. This old guy even participated in the war against Germany twenty years ago.

He had also seen the Empire's strongest artillery unit, the Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, fire. Although the Republic of China had no targets worthy of the Locust Army's Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade's full attack, it had always been only a semi-scale movement.

But the scale of the explosion before our eyes,

It has exceeded the firepower of half an independent heavy artillery brigade.

"Report, the enemy is shelling."

At this point in the report, the Japanese staff officer paused:

"Launch artillery attacks on all our division's locations!"

"Nani?"

Judging from the scale of the shelling, Sando Zhenfu had already sensed that the enemy was conducting a large-scale shelling of the 27th Division.

but···

He was still in disbelief.

With the explosions all over the sky, how many artillery pieces did Tubal Road use? How many shells were consumed by the dense explosions?

Does Tubal Road have such powerful artillery?

If deployed in Yeyu County, Liao County, can he come in?

"Division Commander."

"The enemy's artillery fire was very fierce. All the regiment's stations were hit hard, and the casualties were very serious. What should we do?"

asked the Japanese staff officer.

Because the divisions were all assembled and their troops were strong, the Japanese did not build many defensive fortifications. At this time, facing the bombardment all over the sky, they lacked shelter and fortifications, and everyone was knocked upside down by the bombing.

"retreat!"

Gritting his teeth, San Dao Zhenfu hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to retreat.

Although it is daytime now,

Air support can now be called.

But it takes an hour to get there from Taiyuan, and in mountainous areas, aircraft have very poor effect against the enemy's highly maneuverable heavy mortars, and can only suppress the enemy's shelling density.

Even if half suppressed.

Facing strong enemy defensive positions and other light artillery fire, he was still unable to break through the defense line.

So retreat is the best option.

····

By the time the division and regiment headquarters packed up their things, more than an hour had passed.

It's not that the Japs are inefficient.

Instead, they were preparing to retreat under the bombardment that was all over the place. In addition, the materials were scattered and scattered, and they had to prepare for the possible Tubal Road attack. It was really difficult to be efficient.

"withdraw!"

The three real husbands gritted their teeth and gave the order to retreat.

But there was a cold sweat behind him.

It has been an hour since the bombardment began.

A rough estimate is that the enemy fired at least more than 20,000 artillery shells!

San Dao Zhenfu of the other regiments did not know, but the division headquarters stationed in Yeyang Village and the Japanese brigades protecting the division headquarters had already lost more than 200 people.

Is Tubalu so powerful?

What will be the future of North China?

How will the empire deal with such a powerful Tubalu?

···

"Report, the Japanese have retreated!"

"The artillery unit asked whether to pursue?"

Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander sat aside silently, keeping silent. The division commander was high-spirited, and he snorted coldly at first.

"Humph!"

"That's all the little devil is capable of."

At first, the plan was to think that the Japanese would call for aviation reinforcements, suppress the artillery, and then launch an attack, but they actually ran away in despair.

"Stop the shelling!"

The purpose of showing strength has been achieved, there is no need to continue the pursuit.
