Chapter 1363

As if feeling the gaze of Shigetaro Kanin, on the Japanese artillery position, Yoshida Keyichi announced a series of numbers loudly, then slowly raised his right hand, and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Hay!" Qiqi's voice came from behind him, his right hand suddenly fell, and he shouted loudly, "Let go!"

Thirty-six 36mm caliber field guns roared at the same time, and in a moment, a burst of flames fell on the position of the Xuebing Army Artillery Regiment, causing a rumbling explosion.

When his side was shelling, Wu Jingxiang was watching the Japanese positions with binoculars, and the smoke rose from behind the Japanese positions. His heart trembled slightly, and he immediately pressed the send button and shouted: "Machine gunner, observer, speed back to the car." , Put the top cover on!" After shouting, he retracted himself first, and then put the top cover on.

He had just finished all this when there was a crisp sound of "dang" and then a "rumbling" explosion. The self-propelled artillery Wu Jingxiang was riding on suddenly trembled violently. He only felt as if his head had been hit hard, and then After a burst of dizziness, he opened his mouth involuntarily, and vomited amidst the "creak", "ding-dong", and "clang-dang" collision sounds from the metal parts in the car.Wu Xiangjing was lucky, the driver sitting in front of him directly bumped his head against the front fender and passed out.

After gulping down a few gulps, Wu Jingxiang forced himself to calm down, picked up the microphone and shouted, "Old Du, organize yourself and fight back!"

Lao Du was his deputy, and Lao Du was lucky that the chariot he was riding was not affected by the explosion. He immediately replied: "Yes!" Then he said: "Everyone listen to my order, the muzzle is raised by one scale, and the direction is deflected." Two scales to the left, hit!"

When the artillery positions of the Xuebing Army were flooded by artillery fire, Shigetaro Kanin narrowed his eyes and picked up the binoculars to look over.There was a smile on his face first, but the smile only lasted for a few seconds, and then he put on an expression of disbelief. Although the 36 field guns hit the target area accurately, the damage they caused was really unsatisfactory.The barrels of the enemy's guns, which were still covered by gunpowder smoke, turned gently, and the next moment, flames were sprayed out neatly.

The advancement of self-propelled artillery is not only reflected in its terrifying moving speed, but also in the frequency of its firing.Every time the artillerymen of the Yoshida Regiment fired a shot, they had to push the cannon back to its original position, recalibrate, and then manually fill in the shells, so that they could be fired again.Even the most skilled and well-coordinated artillery combination requires minutes of preparation to complete a shot.The self-propelled artillery of the Wu Jingxiang regiment is different, because it has an automatic loading device, and because the shooting angle can be easily adjusted through the turret, and because it is equipped with a special grip device, there is no need to worry about changing the gun position due to recoil Problem, therefore, there is no problem at all in making three or five rounds every minute.

Neither Kanji Shigetaro nor Yoshida Kenichi thought that the enemy's artillery would react so quickly, and the retaliatory firepower would be so fierce.According to their understanding, a round of rapid fire from one's own side, even if it can't completely wipe out the enemy's artillery, can at least cripple it.Next, it will be a process of accumulating and expanding advantages. One's own side will have more and more quantitative advantages, and will eventually gain complete control.

The 33rd Division needs this control too much. Only in this way can it suppress the infantry of the Xuebing Army.Next, the special attack tactics of the Watanabe Cavalry Wing may cause damage to its tank troops.

Wu Xiangjing's counterattack was quick and sharp. Within a few minutes, more than 36 shells hit the Yoshida United's position without thinking.The Xuebing army was all heavy artillery. After this round of shelling, more than half of the Japanese army's [-] field artillery were blown up.And more than half of the soldiers were killed in the bombing—it can be said that in just an instant, the Yoshida United was disabled.

Many people in the 33rd Division saw this scene. Among them, Ken Sato and Kentaro Watanabe, the captains of the 214th Wing, were the hardest hit.In the round of shelling just now, at least one squadron was killed in the brigade of the 214th Wing stationed in the first trench.If the Yoshida Regiment cannot contain the enemy's artillery and allow it to repeatedly bombard the infantry positions, then this battle will be impossible to fight. Thinking of this, Sato scolded angrily: "Bage! Why is this happening?!" He looked at the position of the student soldiers opposite him, his teeth were almost gnashed.

The artillery battle lasted only about 10 minutes.In the end, Yoshida Kenichi personally operated a field cannon to shoot at the Xuebing army, and then died because the shells around him were hit, and the man and the cannon were blown to pieces.

"Your Excellency, the Yoshida United team is gone!" A staff officer reported to Gan Chen without further ado.

Looking at the gunfire that was still rising on the Xuebing army's position, Gan Yan sighed, "Airplanes, tanks, and cannons used to be the trump card of the imperial army! When did this become the strong point of the Chinese people?!"

"Your Excellency, look!" The staff officer suddenly became excited.

Gan Yan turned around and looked up in the direction of his finger, and saw a string of black shadows flying from the northeast, and finally showed a relieved expression on his face.

"Fighter, it's our fighter! Air support is coming!" The young staff officer shouted.His cry infected many devils, and many people cheered.And Watanabe and Sato's mournful faces finally showed a tinge of blood.

On the top of Lion Gate Mountain, Feng Lanshan also saw the incoming enemy planes.His face changed slightly, and he said, "NND, this battle is going to be difficult!"

"Teacher's seat! Look over there—" On the ground of the Second Xue Division, a staff officer pointed to the string of black shadows and said to Liu Zheliang.

Liu Zheliang looked up, his eyes froze.

Regarding the Japanese army in front of him, Liu Zheliang has detailed information in his hands.Therefore, when the 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment opened fire on Wu Xiangjing's troops, even though the momentum created was quite scary, he was not worried at all.

The Xuebingjun self-propelled artillery is the chassis and body of a heavy-duty Jiguang tank with first-class armor protection capabilities. Not to mention that the 33rd Division only has 75mm caliber mountain guns, its caliber is even larger, reaching 120mm. It is impossible to use special shells to cause much damage to Wu Xiangjing regiment.

Facts have proved that his prediction is correct.Although the 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment won the first round of strikes, it was the Wu Xiangjing Regiment who won the final victory.

The artillery was completely victorious, and the 33rd Division's most threatening combat force to the Second Xue Division was eradicated. The division was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out, and the only thing left to do was to be beaten passively.

The sky is unpredictable, and people have good fortune and misfortune—Liu Zheliang is calculating how to end the battle as soon as possible, when the Japanese fighter plane appears.The sudden increase of variables also made the battle of Lions Gate more complicated and confusing. At this time, Liu Zheliang did not dare to conclude that his troops would definitely be able to win——

At this stage, the air force is the king of war!
