The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Most of the parachute troops of the Japanese-American Allied Forces were encircled and suppressed. Among them, the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army was the most tragic. Because they were not familiar with the battlefield, they were lured into the encirclement by spies from the Northeast who were disguised as "leaders". The smarter ones faced the attack of the powerful 12th Army's elite soldiers, and were either wiped out or hid in the deep ditch and cliffs to survive!

The Japanese stragglers ended up even worse!All those who were exposed were shot to death, and those who managed to hide in a safe zone could only act carefully, and as the air battle and the bombing began, they hid in the corner trembling with fear!

Tonight, hundreds of remnants crossing the river gritted their teeth and approached, and finally reached a depth of ten kilometers from the river bank. No less than the remnants of paratroopers joined their heads, and then saw the sudden bombardment of the mobile artillery!

The intense flash of light did not spread far between the deep mountains and dense forests, and the U.S. military, which lacked aerial cover and surveillance, had no way of knowing their traces. Fortunately, the sporadic night reconnaissance planes circling at high altitudes could still see the general direction and distance. .

The remnant soldiers also saw it, so when the electromagnetic stability of the space was restored, they decisively reported the coordinates one by one through the radio!

The heavy artillery on the other side of the river fired first, and the powerful large-caliber shells flew more than ten kilometers, first aiming at the front self-propelled artillery! The mobile artillery of the 12th Army is not a fool. After finishing a round with their front feet, they immediately moved to another position. When the deployment was almost completed, the Japanese and American artillery shells finally fell in retaliation!

150mm口径的榴弹，可以打击半径50米左右的杀伤范围！203mm的榴弹，则可以杀伤80米的左右半径和20米的前后距离！

The Yankees have never spared their shells when fighting wars. They shoot every 2 minutes with all their strength, and hundreds of cannons of various colors are fired in turn.In an instant, in the opposite valley, a series of earth-shattering loud noises were rumbled!

A grenade weighing more than 100 kilograms exploded, and its power was not much worse than that of a naval gun!When the accuracy is much higher than that of naval guns, even if the angle of incidence is deliberately increased, even if it is a grenade, it blasts into the mountains.There are still terrifying shock waves that can cover a football field one after another!

The violent flash can blind people's eyes in an instant, the boiling flames devoured a large area of ​​primeval forest, and the rocks that had been magnificent for many years but were still solid were ruthlessly smashed into countless fragments that flew hundreds of meters away. Many, the storm formed by various fragments and gravel swept in all directions, shattering countless branches and leaves of trees, setting off emerald green storms!

It was difficult to achieve much effect by bombing the dense mountainous area, but the number of shells reached a certain standard.But it is enough to form a terrible covering damage!

Even if they escaped early, the battalions of the front self-propelled artillery still couldn't help but be amazed at the boiling position not far away!

Dozens of shots are enough, and hundreds of shots falling down can blow up a valley into pieces at once. Because of the uncertain coordinates and natural deviation, they are thrown down one after another, which makes people feel at a loss.Even if the new position is at least one or two kilometers away from the original place, it is not very safe.There are even stray shells that will hit the nearby anti-cannon nets, scaring people into cold sweat!

From ten kilometers on the river bank to twenty kilometers in depth, the vast area was taken care of by the artillery fire of the Japanese and American coalition forces!That fierce explosion.The vibration was like thunder, rumbled far away, and the remnants of the Japanese army lying on the front line were dizzy and disgusted, and cheered happily at the same time.Shouting "Yao Hee" endlessly.

This kind of bombing should be more intense. It would be great if all the Chinese troops lurking in the nearby valley could be killed!

They didn't know that the electromagnetic shielding released earlier also exposed the coordinates of their sending or calling!

In the high altitude, the early warning and reconnaissance planes that circle around day and night keenly intercepted the different radio signals of Japan and the US military. After multi-angle ranging and positioning, the precise position with a deviation of no more than 50 meters was calculated and then passed to the command center. , marked on the combat electronic map responsible for each division.

The forward motorized infantry battalion received them simultaneously. When they saw the enemy's position in the area they were in charge of, they couldn't help but gear up to kill or catch them alive.Lin Zhencheng unceremoniously denied this: "Catch what! They will all be blown up to death! By the way, practice your mortars!"

In the dense forest, the troops of both sides are entangled. There is me in you and you in me. In the ten-kilometer-deep area, there are thousands of hills. I don’t know how many people are lurking with each other. The distance may be a valley, a hill, or even a forest. !

The Japanese and U.S. paratroopers who came forward were all equipped with radios and portable radios according to the first-level units of the company. The number was astonishing. This exposure did not matter. It immediately gave the infantry of the 12th Army a lot of targets!

The 82 and 100mm caliber artillery shells assigned to each battalion company were erected one after another. According to the coordinate setting, all the anti-personnel grenades were fired six times in a hurry. Resounding all over the field, the almost vertical or at least seventy-degree ballistic shells crashed down!

The maximum range of these guys is as short as 3 kilometers and as far as more than 400 kilometers. It is on both sides of the Yalu River, between [-] and [-] meters high and densely populated mountains. Those scenes are also magnificent!

Unconsciously, the Japanese and American troops who had exposed their targets were covering their ears to avoid their own shells. Who would have expected that there would be a deadly killer mixed in the overwhelming roar!Wait until piles of shells hit the head suddenly, or explode nearby, and then suddenly wake up. If you want to run again, it will be too late!

The terrifying rate of fire of more than 20 rounds per minute, one shot is six bursts, and the rear seat of the gun body deviates from the natural dispersion, forming a killing area with a radius of [-] meters. A small hill or a valley is killed by countless fragments. , The Japanese and American troops hiding inside suffered heavy casualties in an instant!

The total weight of the 100mm mortar is less than 75 kg. It is portable, easy to use, easy to move, fast in firing speed, and fierce in attack firepower. It is not weaker than the heavy field 75mm gun. The artillery squad of the company withdrew and left without hesitation, hiding in other cliffs and cave positions.

Although there is no defensive position set up ten kilometers from Omi.But in the large mountainous area behind, the 12th Army has a large number of self-propelled artillery positions, armored troop advance bases, and countless infantry attack bunkers all over the mountains and plains!Basically, they are slightly modified in the natural terrain, with their full digital camouflage facilities and clothing.When it is not moving, the Japanese and American troops will not be able to find it passing by.

Now, they suddenly opened fire, beating the enemy army with the radio into darkness, and the lurking enemy army not far away also noticed the movement. After all, there is a flash when firing the gun. Only a few hundred meters!

More calls broke out!The Japanese and American troops who were not killed by the mortar shells did not know what was going on, and hurriedly continued to call for reinforcements.On the contrary, they further exposed their traces and caused a second wave of shell bombing!

However, they are not completely powerless to fight back, especially the portable mortars specially developed by the US military for the paratroopers, which have been assigned to Du Jiang's troops in large numbers.Relying on the advanced metallurgical technology of the United States, its m2 60mm mortar weighs only 19 kilograms, but has a range of 1.8 kilometers, and each company is equipped with three.The firepower output density is much better than that of the Japanese army who commonly used grenades.Especially in this era, in addition to Zhu Bin's army, the company has the best firepower at the first level!

After the combination of the two armies, the Japanese army retained the grenade launchers they used, but also equipped a large number of m2 mortars. The 61.5 kg m1 81mm mortar is also a good thing.It has a range of 3 kilometers, and it can also be disassembled and portable. It is a conventional portable firepower at the battalion level. Of course, the Japanese army took it unceremoniously to replace those heavy old things at home.

Among the remnants.There are also a lot of mortars that I carry. Although I have been bombarded indiscriminately, I have not completely lost my helmet and armor. At this time, I was hit and found the enemy close at hand. How could I bear it? Take it out now and launch a vengeful strike!

The most convenient grenades are ready first, and they are shot out in disorder. The fist-sized grenade draws a steep arc and rushes towards the enemy where the flash is. explain.

And the troops under the 12th Army have bulletproof nets or camouflage on the lurking points. If you want to hit and kill directly, you have to break the full set of bulletproof equipment on those guys first, how difficult it is!

But in the end, it is the shell explosion, and there will always be casualties. In the chaos of explosions all over the mountains and plains, soldiers were injured and were bombed from time to time!The troops in front continued to attack with the mortars in their hands, and at the same time reported the precise coordinates to the rear in series, and communicated with the main force of the artillery, demanding to open fire immediately and cover the bombing!

The reserve artillery battalions couldn't help being surprised when they received it, and they replied: "You don't want to die! The distance is so close, and the shells fall down, but they don't recognize people. What should I do if I accidentally hurt them?"

No matter how accurate the artillery is, there will always be mistakes in the complex mountains. Those guys who are separated by hundreds of meters are really not afraid of being killed by their own people!

But there was a series of shouts from the radio station: "What are you talking about! Hurry up and say hello! Blow up these bastards hard, don't worry about our safety!"

A dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good person!

The guys in the reserve artillery battalion complained and turned the heavy artillery at hand to adjust the elements. The minimum size of each door was 105mm, and most of the 122mm howitzers were ready in minutes.

This is firing shells at a place less than ten kilometers in front of him!There are a large number of my own people who are intricately entangled nearby, even if there is a deviation of one degree, it may even blow up my own family by mistake!

But in the current situation, they have no choice. Between the mountains, the infantry killed each other, and the death toll must be not small. This does not conform to the tactics formulated by the theater. Artillery is the real protagonist of this battle!No matter what situation they face, they have to grit their teeth and fight on!

The dense shells that fell from the sky completely blew up the remaining Japanese and US troops!They couldn't figure out why they would be bombed even if they were inside the enemy's inner circle!Could it be that the Chinese artillerymen are crazy, and in order to kill the enemy, they even ignore their own people? !

What they didn't expect was that the shells were fired really accurately!Regardless of whether it is a frontal mountain or a reverse slope, the shells fired by the howitzer at a large angle have very accurate landing points!There were even a lot of air-explosive grenades, and the prefabricated fragments scattered on all sides killed the pine forest, leaving only bare tree trunks, with gap wounds all over the body, and the soldiers lying behind or in the corner were blown to pieces. fall.There were many casualties, and the fire that was triggered at the same time made them scream and scream, which was terrible!

Several rounds of bombing, large and small guns of various calibers indiscriminately killed thousands of Japanese troops crossing the river!Plus when I was desperately crossing the river.Those who were blown up by the shells falling from the sky, killed and sunk, equal to the casualties of a brigade came out again, the cannon is really the god of war!

Yoshio Shinozuka was lying in the bunker on the mountain, staring dumbfounded at the illuminated skyline in the distance, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Our artillery can cause such large-scale damage? It's too powerful!"

The Japanese army has always been used to being poor, and there was never a time when it wasted shells casually!The original Kwantung Army, more than 150mm caliber cannon.In total, there were not a few hundred doors manufactured, and they were all consumed in the previous battle for the Northeast. Later, these were either remanufactured with the support of the United States, or simply manufactured by the US military after taking over a full set of blueprints.

Even so, being able to deploy hundreds of such cannons on a position that is no more than tens of kilometers wide is already incredibly powerful and dense!But thinking of the roar of thousands of cannon barrels on the opposite side... the Japanese can only sigh helplessly!

Before the Commander finished sighing, a series of emergencies followed.His face sank immediately: "Hey?! The Chinese people actually fired at their positions? Are they crazy? No! No, they must be very sure. In order to kill our troops crossing the river, they are desperate !"

Only this explains it!Others, I really can't imagine any reason to do so.

But in this way, Shinozuka Yoshio became even more depressed and heavy hearted.Just the density of artillery bombardment on the river is not calculated by hundreds of guns.The Japanese have no intuitive understanding of how many terrible things like rockets can be fired at one time, but thinking about it, it is amazing that a cannon can fire seven or eight rounds?This density.It seems that there are cannons all over the mountains and plains!

Under such circumstances, the opponent actually still has spare power, and has other artillery to bombard their own positions intensively. So how many artillery have they deployed in this mountainous area? !Could it be that every tree stump is a camouflage of a gun barrel?

Thinking of the scene of the forest of giant cannons, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but feel dizzy. That feeling is very similar to seeing the existence of the entire United Fleet, with dozens of giant ships, hundreds of giant cannons, and thousands of guns. The spectacular scene of the small cannons gathering together, when bombarded, it was really a landslide and an earth-shattering!

In the rear, the roaring cannons were silent, because they had to shift to avoid retaliatory shooting from the opposite side.

The Yankees are rich and powerful, not only replacing the original steel wheels of each heavy artillery with luxury rubber tires or crawler chassis, but also equipped with high-power tractors to ensure the transfer speed, many times faster than the Japanese themselves!

If Zhu Bin sees it, he will be annoyed in his heart. Those tires used by the Yankees are all a series of patented products he gave to the trucks under the WorldCom Group!Now, these guys are actually made into military supplies, but they didn't give him a dime for the patent fee. It's shameful!Very shameful!

On both banks of the lower reaches of the Yalu River, the area [-] kilometers deep and [-] kilometers wide was filled with flashes of cannon fire and explosions, and the rumbling noise shocked the mountains, rivers and rivers!

Just as the Japanese and American artillery moved in a hurry, their traces were discovered through aerial reconnaissance, and the strikes passed on to the retaliatory units followed one after another!

The first thing to get mad was the train cannon that was parked along the Fengcheng Railway! The 280mm caliber heavy artillery, with its full range of 50 kilometers, and the low-resistance bottom-row extended-range ammunition, can easily cover an ultra-long distance of [-] kilometers. Although the accuracy is not good, it rumbles across the entire battlefield. , that momentum, that awe, is extraordinary!

On the Japanese heavy artillery position, the roar of firing was suppressed by the sudden rumbling noise, followed by a huge explosion, and clusters of crimson mushroom clouds boiled, rushing out of the valley and towards the sky, smashing the rocks of the mountain The turbid storm formed by the smashed trees swept the surroundings, and the momentum was earth-shattering!

Head start!The Japanese artillery was taken aback, and hurriedly packed up the guys to speed up the transfer. The sight of half of the mountain being blown up by the cannonball was simply amazing!You know, those shells are filled with guys with eight times the power of conventional explosives!

This is just the beginning, followed by a stance from farther back, a launcher only has eight rounds, and each round is as expensive as a cannon's 305mm "Tornado" ultra-long-range rocket!

This kind of big guy who first acted as an artificial rain bomb in a destructive tropical storm and shocked the audience in a military parade, now torn off his camouflage and replaced it with a terrifying high-explosive multi-warhead, the power of each shot can cover A football field, a car launched together, in just 30 seconds, can hit a terrible killing zone covering one square kilometer!

The most amazing thing is its strike radius, which can extend from 80 kilometers to 150 kilometers!

Just a few minutes after the train's cannon fired, twelve "tornado" rocket launchers in a row opened fire in turn!Within 20 seconds, each one shot out four rounds of the five-meter-long thick guy, and accelerated to a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 3 in the blink of an eye. Like a sharp sword piercing the sky, a meteor fell to the ground and rushed towards the valley in the distance. !

A gun carriage aimed at a gun position, regardless of whether it moved away or not, after more than a minute, the huge rocket suddenly attacked with a warhead of nearly 1 kilograms, locked the target in mid-air, and exploded with a bang. , Scattered into hundreds of bullets, hula la formed a huge net and scrambled to scatter down, each bullet has a killing radius of 10 meters, and the terrifying power to penetrate 50mm armor. Connected, a valley is completely covered!

"Boom---hum!"

There was an earth-shattering loud noise, and the light illuminated Amano, and the few gun carriages that did not run out fell into the boiling hell of fire! (To be continued..)
