Chapter 268 The Battle of Xifu: Annihilating the Enemy Heavy Artillery Battalion

After setting up the second-line garrison mission, Li Yong did not let himself be idle. Instead, he took the battalion commanders and instructors of the three infantry battalions to find the brigade commander Chen Haihan of the teaching brigade, and said that the three battalions would be strengthened for the teaching brigade. , to increase their front-line defense force, at this time the artillery preparations for the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang began. (Apex Fiction hand-written novel)

Large-caliber anti-personnel grenades landed on the positions guarded by the teaching brigade without interruption, and hundreds of shells were fired in a blink of an eye, and the howling sound of the shells tearing the air from the sky was endless.

Experienced veterans know that if you hear a screaming shell coming, you have to dodge it as soon as possible. This shell must not be far away from your current position.

And after the shell explodes, the best way is to jump into the crater that just exploded, otherwise there is a possibility that a few more shells will fall in your position. No matter how powerful the cannon is, the shells cannot all hit a crater. Here, after the first shell is fired, the position of the second shell will be farther away. This is common sense that all veterans know.

After the screams all over the sky, there was a bomb crater and a sea of ​​flames on the ground, and earth, rocks and logs were blown up all over the position, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade had to get into the nearby concealment and artillery holes.

It is said that it is an anti-blasting hole, but it may not be able to defend against it. Once it is directly hit, it is no different from being buried alive. The strong concealed part consumes a lot of steel and wood.

Where can the current teaching brigade find what kind of steel?The anti-gun effect of the concealed part built in an emergency is limited, but the effect is limited and only stiff.

In the brigade command post, Brigadier Chen Haihan looked at the front position with a binoculars, and threw the binoculars down after watching, muttering: "It's too bad, too bad, willing to wait to be beaten, this taste No one did it, where did Ma Jiyuan get so many cannons?"

At this time, the independent regiment and others had not left the position of the teaching brigade, and Li Yong was in this hidden department just like Brigadier Chen.

Listening to Brigadier Chen talking to himself, Li Yong replied: "This is what Ma Jiyuan and his old man Ma Bufang asked for from Jiang Guangtou. It is a reinforced heavy artillery battalion."

Li Yong, who observed with a telescope like Brigadier Chen, knew that the teaching brigade with a small number of personnel had already suffered certain casualties in previous battles. People who are not relaxed will be more nervous.

Li Yong is the head of the independent regiment in charge of operations. Besides Li Yuming and a few other guards, there is a soldier with a walkie-talkie beside him.

Li Yong took the soldier's walkie-talkie and shouted, "Does Gao Xiang have one?"

After shouting several times, Gao Xiang's voice came from the microphone: "I am Gao Xiang, yes, commander, our whole battalion has maneuvered to the launch position, do you have any orders?"

"Did you see the artillery fire from the 82nd Division?" Li Yong asked in the walkie-talkie.

Gao Xiang in the walkie-talkie shouted: "Of course I saw it, Commander, is the enemy's artillery fire very fierce? Where are you? Be careful."

Li Yong was very satisfied with Gao Xiang's answer. In order to quickly get the heavy artillery battalion in place, which had certain requirements for roads, the independent regiment also thought of many ways, including preparing a lot of steel plates for road paving on the tractor. Just lay the steel plate directly and let the cars and artillery drive over.

"Give your battalion half an hour to prepare. After half an hour, the whole battalion will attack, destroy the heavy artillery positions of the 82nd Division, and destroy his artillery. Do you understand? Repeat."

"Launch an attack in half an hour, destroy the heavy artillery positions of the 82nd Division, and destroy his artillery. Please rest assured, the regimental commander, and resolutely complete the task."

The conversation between Li Yong and Gao Xiang on the walkie-talkie made the people in the headquarters of the teaching brigade gasp in amazement. Look at the independent group, this guy is awesome, he speaks in a different tone, and it will take half an hour to eliminate Artillery of the 82nd Division, can this work?People's cannons are also made of iron, not flour.

Although these staff officers, officers, and security personnel in the brigade headquarters have doubts in their hearts, they can't ask them out of their mouths. No matter what, the face of the brother troops still needs to be taken care of.

Brigadier Chen Haihan also asked very interestedly: "Commander Li, can it work? The artillerymen of the Kuomintang have been trained for a long time, and they are much better than our two-handed artillerymen. Don't treat us any more. The guns that are easy to get back are put in."

The Sixth Column also has a little artillery, but they are still in Baoji City and are not willing to come out, but even if Commander Luo Yuanfa is determined to send these artillery out at his own expense, Brigadier Chen Haihan is not cold.

The reason is also very simple. The artillery of the Sixth Column of the People's Liberation Army is not good enough to compete with the artillery of the Kuomintang. If there is an artillery battle, it is very likely that they will be wiped out immediately. This is what Brigadier Chen Haihan asked Li Yong Brigadier Chen is also a little worried about the reason.

Li Yong smiled and replied: "Our independent regiment also has a heavy artillery battalion. The quality and quantity of artillery equipped are no less than that of the 82nd Division, and the level of training is no worse than theirs. As long as we are prepared, it is still possible to destroy the enemy's heavy artillery positions." It must be grasped."

Looking at Li Yong who is very confident, Brigadier Chen Haihan is of course not good at saying anything. Is it a good thing to kill the enemy? This Kuomintang heavy artillery battalion poses a great threat to the forward positions. It is a wish for it to be solved.

Let's just talk about Gao Xiang. After receiving the order, this kid personally led an observation team and two vehicles, and followed the location exposed by the enemy's firing.

If you want to complete the task assigned by the team leader, you must hit the opponent within the first attack wave, and if you want to eliminate the opponent, you must find the opponent's position.

Fortunately, the heavy artillery battalion of the 82nd Division is now fighting happily. They also know that the People's Liberation Army on the opposite side has no long-range firepower that can threaten them.

After about 10 minutes, Gao Xiang and the command team he led finally found the artillery firing position of the 82nd Division, and the observation post was immediately set up.

The observation post is the command center for artillery shooting. Soldiers must use various instruments to map the geographical coordinates of targets, observation posts, and artillery positions, and collect these... coordinates into the hands of the computer soldiers, who then mark the... On the map, based on these three coordinates, plus various factors such as temperature, wind direction, and wind speed, the calculating soldiers calculated the shooting elements.

The artillery position of the 82nd Division is on a relatively gentle hillside more than 2000 meters in front of Gao Xiang and the others. More than 20 cannons painted in grass-green camouflage can be seen clearly in the telescope. A burst of flames spewed out from the stubby muzzle, and then there was a huge roar.

Facing the enemy's artillery position, Battalion Commander Gao Xiang cursed: "F*ck, I let you go crazy, you will die if you meet me."

In the report prepared by the calculator soldiers, Gao Xiang issued the shooting command: "Target, the enemy's artillery position, grenade instant fuze, No. 2 charge, parallel shooting, scale 330, left 005, height plus 2, 4 One shot of the platoon of 1 gun is loaded with live ammunition (one test shot of the platoon of reference guns), ready--release"

Following Gao Xiang's command, on the artillery position of the Independent Regiment, the muzzle fire of a [-] howitzer flashed, and the shells were fired with a "boom".

With a "boom", the shell landed on the ground, and the explosion point was on the hillside not too far from the artillery position of the 82nd Division, which was very obvious.

Almost at the same time as the shells landed, Battalion Commander Gao Xiang gave the command to shoot again: Scale -2 (correction for long-range ammunition), 002 to the right (correction for bombing point to the left), height -1 (correction for height and height), one round of live ammunition is loaded, Prepare - let go.

A shell fired in the second test shot accurately hit the middle of the artillery position where the 82nd Division was firing after passing through the corrected trajectory.

As soon as this shell hit the ground, the artillery positions of the 82nd Division immediately panicked. They were all artillerymen, and no one was a fool. What does it mean that two shells hit the vicinity?This must be the artillery of the People's Liberation Army, it seems that the People's Liberation Army also has artillery, fuck, run, if you don't run, it's not a shell. The artillery of the Qingma Army knows what will happen after the test.

But it would be too late to run away, Gao Xiang yelled through the walkie-talkie through gritted teeth: "Attention the whole battalion, focus on firing, 6 rounds in a hurry, (load live ammunition, the whole battalion fires in salvo, 6 rounds per gun) Get ready—— put"

The scene of more than forty artillery firing concentrated fire was spectacular. As soon as the red flag in the hands of the battalion instructor directing the shooting fell, dozens of shells were fired with a "boom".

Hundreds of shells hit the artillery position of the Qingma Army in a blink of an eye. Thick smoke, fire, dust, shrapnel, and broken stones engulfed the soldiers who were still rampant just now. Parts were flying all over the sky, and the violent explosion caused the second explosion of shells on the position. This time the scene was even bigger. The collapsed gun car tires rolled around, and the position was in chaos.

Gao Xiang relieved himself, and kept shouting: "Each cannon four rounds, rapid fire, ready-fire, five rapid fire, ready-fire."

That is, in about 5 minutes, the heavy artillery battalion that Ma Bufang took a lot of effort to get from Chairman Jiang was wiped out.

In the command post of the teaching brigade, everyone could clearly hear the sound of shells passing through the sky from behind their positions, followed by the sound of rumbling explosions, and then the artillery of the 82nd Division fell silent.

This guy stunned the staff officers in the teaching brigade headquarters. Anyone with a little brain can think that the artillery of the independent regiment must be showing their power. No wonder the commander of the regiment is so confident, it is really amazing .
