Chapter 1466
In the history of China, there has never been a lack of sayings about blessed generals.And the so-called lucky generals should have the same meaning as going out and stepping on dog shit-the hat of luck is always on the top of the head.

In the battle that took place in Fuding and Cangnan on the 1939th day of [-], Ma Chun was undoubtedly Liu Yuqing's lucky general—if Ueda Qinye had bombarded Li Hai's artillery regiment first, the result would have been completely different.Compared with the old-fashioned towed artillery, self-propelled artillery has three advantages: rate of fire, mobility, and protection.The self-propelled artillery of the Xuebing Army all adopt the chassis of the old-fashioned Jiguang tank. This self-propelled tracked structure has strong site protection capabilities and excellent ability to pass through complex terrain; and its superstructure, although because of combat flexibility The required armor thickness has been reduced, but it is much thicker than the Japanese Type [-] Chilo medium tank.These undoubtedly greatly enhanced its battlefield survivability.The reality is that unless the body is directly hit by a heavy shell, there is no possibility of being destroyed by a single shot.

Eighty-four 84mm and 120mm heavy guns fired at the same time, and the momentum was frightening, but the result was really unsatisfactory. With the sound of "aggressive" shells breaking through the air, followed by rumbling explosions, the 150th Howitzer Brigade fired three rounds in a row. Nearly 6 shells roared towards the positions of the 403rd and 406th Regiments, one fireball after another. Soaring into the sky, the sky in the area where the Machun Tuan and Liang Wenhui Tuan were located instantly turned red.Amidst the rumbling explosions, two artillery pieces under Ma Chun's command were hit directly, and one of the turrets was shot and exploded and burned, becoming the only one that was completely destroyed.The other one was hit by a bullet in the front armor. Although it also lost its combat ability, the students inside were only slightly injured.

The sudden shelling startled Ma Chun, but that was all.Both he and Liu Yuqing knew that the Japanese army had two brigades of artillery.Therefore, when they decided to fight back, they were prepared to be retaliatory shelled by the Japanese army.

"Old Ma, the artillery hidden by the little devil has appeared, let's fight!" Liang Wenhui, the head of the 406 regiment, shouted to him through the walkie-talkie.

Ma Chun didn't talk nonsense, and ordered decisively: "Hit"

The order to move the position was withdrawn, and the order to counterattack was conveyed.At this time, all the gun carriages have not yet retracted the rear support legs.Then, under the operation of the main gunner, there was a tooth-piercing sound of gears gnashing, and the turrets of more than thirty artillery pieces were slightly deflected to the left.Almost at the same time, the sound of the gun carriage's engine became extremely high-pitched, the cylinder motor started, and amidst the "humming" sound of pumping oil, the gun barrel began to raise by one or two scales.Then, the two cannons personally controlled by Ma Chun and Liang Wenhui fired first, each firing a test shot.

It was slow to write, in fact, it took only a few tens of seconds, and the Xuebing army launched a counterattack.

Ueda Qinye had never expected that the Xuebing Army's counterattack came so quickly and so accurately.If Ma Chun is a lucky general, then Ueda is undoubtedly the ubiquitous and always able to set off the protagonist's extraordinary heroism.The Nafa shell that Ma Chun fired roared with flames wrapped around it, and actually hit a 150mm caliber howitzer on Ueda's right-hand side directly.A gorgeous mushroom cloud exploded in the night, another one, and then another mushroom cloud surged; "rumbling" explosions sounded, once, twice, and finally one piece.The explosion caused the martyrdom of the shell pile behind that gun.The continuous explosion sounded, even though Ueda's men reacted quickly and fearless of life and death, three or four people pressed him under him, but the air wave generated by the large-scale explosion close at hand was too violent.Without exception, those devils, the gendarmes and staff officers standing around were first shot into funnels of human blood by the shrapnel all over the sky, and then rushed out by the air waves, collectively turning into human kites.The explosion was so loud that Ueda was almost stunned when he was pinned to the ground by his men.Dazed and shocked, he was pierced by dozens of shrapnel, and was pushed out a distance of more than ten meters along with the soil lifted up in the center of the explosion. When he died, his eyes were still wide open, as if he was dying.

If the counterattack of the 6th Howitzer Brigade was a storm, then the counterattack of the 403rd and 406th regiments and the Li Hai regiment was the fury of thunder.There is no room for a moment of hesitation on the battlefield, but what is terrible is that he wasted precious 6 minutes because of hesitation.Japan's so-called new howitzer has improved range and accuracy, but its protection capability is no different from that of the old-fashioned artillery. If so, although it immediately issued an order to fire, but because of the destruction of the independent 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade Having to face the thunder and anger of the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment's students alone made the quality of the artillery of the two sides become more and more important.

The low-mountain and hilly terrain in the coastal junction of Fujian and Zhejiang is not conducive to the towing of towed artillery.Therefore, whether it is the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade or the 6th Howitzer Brigade, the artillery layout density is relatively dense, which is equivalent to reducing the technical requirements for the artillery of the cadet army.Well, it is said that artillery is shooting at each other, but its real manifestation is an overwhelming massacre.

Most of the 84 cannons only had time to fire three shells, and then they were blown to rotten iron or were blown away, losing the ability to continue fighting.

The Li Hai regiment joined the battlefield about 2 minutes later than the Ma Chun regiment and Liang Wenhui regiment, and with their addition, the sound that the 6th Howitzer Brigade could make became inaudible.

Among the senior commanders of the South China Front Army, Iwane Matsui also had Hisao Tani, the head of the 6th Division, Ichiro Oku, the head of the 9th Division, and Masazo Kawabe, the head of the 13th Division. Due to the combat experience, the artillery and tank units of the cadet army are particularly taboo, and therefore special attention is paid to the restraint of these two arms of the cadet army.This is why he was willing to use the independent 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade as a bait to lure out the artillery of the Academy Army.Matsui Iwane was very familiar with the positions of the two artillery positions of his own side. When the explosion sounded on the artillery positions of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, although he was surprised by the reaction speed of the Xuebing Army, he was not surprised.In artillery battles, mastering the upper hand is too important.Under normal circumstances, as long as the three rounds of artillery can be fired first, then when the difference in the number of artillery is not large, the one who has the upper hand can win the game in one fell swoop.This is the second reason why he was willing to use the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade as bait.

After 1 minute, his face changed, and he muttered: "What's going on?!" He stood up and walked towards the door.Walking out of the headquarters, he looked in the direction of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, and his face changed drastically.He could tell something was wrong just by hearing the sound, but the so-called seeing is believing, seeing mushroom clouds rising one after another, he knew that the 6th Howitzer Brigade was over.Turning around slowly, looking in the direction of the incoming artillery shells, seeing the sky in the northwest direction bursting with red light as the endless fireballs soared up, his heart immediately fell into the ice cellar with a thud , couldn't help yelling: "Bageyalu! You bastard Ueda Qinye!" He couldn't keep his composure anymore.

Thirty years, no moon.I don't know if I also hate war, and there are not many stars.In the dark night sky, the flight trajectory of the shells is particularly eye-catching, even beautiful and magnificent, but it just fell into Matsui Iwane's eyes, and the fireballs that passed by like shooting stars one after another were like blades slashing from his heart. However, it made him miserable and made it difficult for him to breathe. After 5 minutes passed, he drooped his head slumped, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Once you are old in the army, you can get accurate judgments through observation.Although he was extremely unwilling and furious, the clearness in his mind poked his reason like ice, telling him repeatedly: Ueda Qinye's artillery brigade was completely over, over, over——

Matsui Iwane's heart is not good, seeing him suddenly like this, a group of staff under his command was startled, shouting: "Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency, Commander!" They rushed up one after another.

Matsui Iwane roared: "Go away!" Then he staggered into the command post, picked up the phone and called Hisao Tani in front: "Pause the attack!" After saying these words, without waiting for Hisao Gu's answer, he will The phone fell heavily, and he propped his hands on the table and shouted: "Call Yamada, and ask him to immediately dispatch bombers to attack the Chinese artillery! Tell him to destroy the Chinese artillery at all costs!"

All the staff officers were frightened by him, and they looked like they had lost their minds, "Hayi" tremblingly, and ran to their jobs with small steps.

Matsui Iwane worked hard and planned to fight the eagle, but the eagle pecked his eyes instead. This is not counted, and he lost two fat and tender chickens.On his side, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood because of the destruction of his two heavy artillery brigades. On the other side, his opponent Liu Yuqing stood at the door of the frontline headquarters, watching those bright fireballs fly towards the enemy artillery positions. Two fireworks were set off in the box, and on his face, the corners of his brows were opened and his lips curled up, a smile quietly surfaced on his face.

This result was unexpected by Liu Yuqing.And the more so, the more excited and happy he was.

"This is the power of science and technology!" He thought in his heart, holding his hands vigorously, only feeling that life is so beautiful, and how lucky he is!

The Sichuan Army has been the weakest among the various factions in the country since its formation.This kind of weakness is not due to the Sichuan people themselves, but because the Sichuan people are too poor.I think that when I participated in the Battle of Nanjing, it was called the Beggar Army. At that time, I would wake up laughing in my dream if I could own a 75mm mountain cannon. Now, look at the fact that my division alone has 36 self-propelled heavy artillery , and two regiments of tanks.And it is precisely because of these high-end weapons that he can rely on the strength of two divisions to carry more than three divisions of the Japanese army. How can Liu Yuqing maintain his restraint?
The beggar army will finally have a day of pride!
