Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 993 Fight Back
No matter how fierce the temperament is, or how strong the body is, or how strong the will is, in the face of artillery fire, these are just clouds.Therefore, in the infantry drills of almost all normal countries, the prescribed actions when artillery fire strikes, except lying down and concealment, there is no other.

The rumble of cannons on the south bank lasted for about 10 minutes, and then fell silent amidst the cannons on the north bank.

The artillerymen of the two brigades of the Japanese army were not vegetarians. After preparing for artillery fire, they immediately moved their positions, and then began to wait quietly for the artillerymen of the Xuebing Army to expose their targets.The artillerymen of the Xuebing Army appeared a bit late, but they finally couldn't stand it anymore. Ten minutes was just enough time for the Japanese artillery to calculate the position of the artillery of the Xuebing Army, and then they began to counterattack.

"Fire!" As the small red flags were lowered by the commander, in an instant, several hidden artillery positions on the north bank rumbled. Immediately, hundreds of shells flew towards the Madang Fort with their orange fire tails. .

The artillery of the Xuebing Army had been hidden by Ouyang Yunxue until the main force of the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet was exhausted.The self-propelled artillery of the Xuebing Army has attracted the attention of the Japanese army since the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. That's why Kamakura Jie Erjun was so cautious at the beginning. Exploratory shelling of the place.The destruction of Anqing Airport caused the Japanese army to lose its largest front-line airport, and also caused the Japanese army's aerial reconnaissance to be close to zero.This allowed Zhang Tianquan to better conceal his troops, so that he was able to complete his service in one battle after the main force of the Yangtze River Fleet was exhausted.

Okamura Ningji got the news from Kamakura Jie Erchun, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart.That's why he ordered to speed up the attack, fearing that the artillery from the Xuebing Army would return to help.

The return speed of the Xuebing Army's artillery exceeded his expectations. Of course, with his current vision, he would never have imagined that the speed of the Xuebing Army's self-propelled artillery could reach or even exceed forty kilometers per hour.You know, even the current tanks, there are very few that can reach this speed.

When the cannons rang out from the fortress, Okamura Ningji instinctively thought it was another artillery piece from Ouyang Yunxuezang, but he didn't even think about it. It might be from the artillery piece that attacked the Yangtze River Fleet.

The sound of firing cannons sounded, and Ouyang Yun held his watch and stood quietly at the entrance of the bunker of the command headquarters, watching one after another shell whizzing away with long tails of flame. In his heart, the once tense nerves could not The self-restraint relaxed.

As long as Zhang Tianquan and the others were able to return to aid successfully, half of the battle would have been won.Of course, if you not only want to pursue victory, but to pursue greater results, then it is necessary to do a little trick in the order of artillery input.And this will require the contribution of the ground forces.

Since the development of the Xuebing Army, all arms and departments in the army have been perfected.Take the staff department as an example. There are not only corresponding departments such as combat, communications, and logistics, but also an estimation department that specializes in war damage estimation.Chen Shichang was personally responsible for the work of the estimation department. They used a set of relatively rigorous formulas to calculate, and the final result was that if the Xuebing Army wanted to severely damage the Japanese army, its own battle losses would reach at least two regiments.

The battle damage will reach two regiments, which is not what Ouyang Yun is willing to accept.Compared with many modern Chinese generals, Ouyang Yun's biggest difference may be that he cares too much about human life.One will be successful and all bones will be destroyed - although Ouyang Yun has dreamed since he was a boy, to be a great general who can dominate the battlefield, but he doesn't want to rely on other people's bones to pile up his tower of honor.

For this reason, Bai Liusu had said in private that he was hypocritical, naive, and naive. In short, based on Bai Liusu's simple thoughts, Ouyang Yun's approach was simply unrealistic.

People die in wars, and even more people die in big battles.In fact, Ouyang Yun and the Xuebing Army were able to come to this point, wasn't it because those students who died in battle paid for it with their own lives?
"If a brigade or even a division of the Japanese army can be severely damaged, the damage of the two regiments seems to be acceptable!" Ouyang Yun once comforted himself.However, when the preliminary statistical data was sent back from the front line, it was learned that the battle damage had reached more than four regiments so far, and that the Seventh Xue Brigade was equivalent to the destruction of the entire army. His heart couldn't help but twitched.

The artillery regiment participating in the first round of bombardment belonged to the 10th Xue Division, headed by Li Mu.As an artillery commander trained by the Xuebing Army himself, Li Mu has basically mastered the execution theory of artillery warfare in modern warfare, and his best feature lies in camouflage.The first round of shelling only lasted 10 minutes, and then we had to quickly shift positions. Ten minutes later, Li Mu ordered the preparations to stop shooting. Then, under the command of the platoon leader (the lowest unit of the heavy artillery force is the platoon, each platoon has a self-propelled artillery), the artillerymen quickly put away the positioning rods and support legs, Then the gun barrel was set up in an orderly manner, and immediately, the troops began to transfer.

Two minutes later, when Li Mu and the others had just retreated about 2 meters, the Japanese artillery shells fell on their previous positions. Amid the "rumbling" explosion, the entire Madang Fortress seemed to be trembling, and one after another fireballs rose. The next moment, some preset gasoline barrels began to explode, and then a bigger explosion occurred.

The retreat was too extreme, and the trailing artillery was still hit. Although only the tracks were blown off and the personnel were not damaged, they had to give up.Li Mu's command armored vehicle lagged behind. Seeing this scene, he immediately said to Qiu Hongming, the chief of staff in the same vehicle, "Ten minutes is too tense. Tell the headquarters that eight minutes is the limit if you want to minimize losses!"

"Yes!" Qiu Hongming responded, then picked up the microphone and started calling the headquarters.

This round of artillery counterattack by the Japanese army lasted only 5 minutes.The cadet army was afraid of retaliatory shelling, and the Japanese were even more afraid. Five minutes later, the retaliatory shelling by the Japanese army stopped, while several fortress guns with a diameter of 5 to 120 mm on the side of the Xuebing Army fired again, and the target of their shelling this round was the Japanese artillery that had just been exposed. position.

After his own artillery began to fight back at the landing position in Masufune Island, Ningji Okamura stood outside the bunker and observed the enemy's situation with binoculars regardless of the opposition of others.Later, he nodded with satisfaction, and said to the others: "Hatoya is very good, the counterattack just now was very accurate, pass on my order, to report the commendation to Colonel Hatano, and call on the whole army to learn from him. Artillery is very important in fighting the Xuebing Army, and only by destroying all the artillery of the Chinese, we will not lose too much in the next ground battle!"

"Hay!" A staff officer ran down in a panic.

"This should be the artillery that Ouyang Yun hid, Mr. Sanshi, if the main artillery of the Xuebing Army retreats, it will be at most three hours away from Madang. These three hours will be our last chance! do you understand?"

"Hay! Your Excellency, please rest assured, next, we will launch a tidal attack on the last fortification of Cotton Boat Island."
