NOVEL NEXT Chapter 174
Bang, bang, bang!
Bang, bang, bang!
The artillery fire resounded like thunder across the entire hillside.
Although the Japanese brigade reacted very quickly and organized a counterattack at the first time, they were facing an extremely fierce assault battalion!
How could Han Shaogong give the other side a chance?
Da da da.
Da da da.
Bullets swept towards the Japanese like a storm.
In just less than ten minutes.
Groups of Japanese continued to fall in a pool of blood.
"Baga!"
Takahashi Ryujin was extremely angry.
Since he landed in China two years ago, he has never experienced a battle in which he was crushed.
You must know that in the past, whether facing China's elite German-equipped divisions or the newly formed various central armies, although they were always in extremely dangerous areas, they were able to completely suppress the other side almost every time, and never expected to suffer such a cruel blow.
Ten minutes.
Nearly three hundred soldiers.
What a huge loss! !
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
But even if they were angry, what would happen?
Although the terrain here was complex and varied, there were several bunkers that gave them a chance to breathe temporarily, but the enemy had the advantage of terrain and their firepower was very fierce.
How could the remaining troops fight back?
The several waves of offensive that were organized with great difficulty were instantly destroyed by the enemy's firepower.
"Report!"
At this moment, someone quickly came to his side and said loudly: "The brigade commander called and ordered our unit to hold on and wait for help. He has organized troops to quickly reinforce us!"
"Yoshi!"
Takahashi Ryujin was overjoyed and shouted almost neurotically: "Defend! Defend! Our main force will soon come to rescue us!"
In fact.
At this time, the third squadron under the unit had already reinforced.
However, these devils were blocked by a unit of the assault battalion not long after they advanced. The two sides immediately broke out in an extremely fierce battle. Mortars, grenade launchers and other weapons were put into use one after another, but even so, they could not advance at all. Even in just a few minutes of encounter, they also suffered heavy losses.
What kind of troops are these?
Did the other side hold back in the early stage?
At this time, all the devils in the confrontation were terrified!
…
"Captain!"
Soon Zhou Weiguo said with a happy face: "The main force of the devils has moved, and the large force is moving towards the pass. It is estimated that it will arrive in half an hour!"
"Great!"
"Just-"
"Just say it."
Lu Zhixian couldn't help but frowned.
Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice: "The other side's field artillery brigade did not follow up immediately, and it is still in place."
"Didn't follow up?"
Lu Zhixian's face changed slightly.
"Yes!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded.
Lu Zhixian sneered: "It seems that there are indeed capable people in the Japanese command!"
In terms of combat effectiveness, the strongest Japanese are naturally their armored forces and artillery forces.
The former is a mobile artillery platform that can attack and defend, and cooperate with the infantry to advance. The frontal penetration ability is really shocking. The latter is considerable in number, larger in caliber, and has long-range strike capabilities, which is also extremely troublesome.
Of course, if we have to say that the biggest threat to Qingfeng Village now is definitely the Japanese artillery.
According to intelligence.
The Japanese have a large number of various mountain artillery, field artillery, mortars, etc., and most of them are extremely light and can be transferred at any time. Type 92 or Type 94, etc.
If the opponent's artillery formation cannot be quickly annihilated with thunder, it will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to our side!
"Captain!"
Zhou Weiguo couldn't help asking, "What should we do now?"
"How far is their artillery from our artillery formation?"
"About 9 miles."
"9 miles."
Lu Zhixian pondered for a moment.
Zhou Weiguo said slowly, "Most of the many artillery pieces of the devil are Type 92, with a maximum range of about 2.7 kilometers. They are still quite far from the ambush point. In addition, there are nearly ten Type 94 mountain guns and Type 95 field guns. Their range is much longer, enough to cover all our positions."
"Hmph!"
Lu Zhixian couldn't help but sneer and said, "Although I admit that there are indeed cautious people among the devils, this distance is nothing for the heavy artillery unit."
Almost all of the howitzers in Yang Zhihua's hands have a strike range of nearly 10 kilometers. This distance is indeed nothing, but it is not so easy to destroy them quickly and accurately. If the devil's artillery moves quickly, the accuracy will be even more pitiful.
"But the devil's air force?"
"Has there been any news from Taiyuan?"
"Not yet?"
"Then don't move the heavy artillery!"
Lu Zhixian thought for a moment, and soon his eyes became firm.
Zhou Weiguo instantly understood what his commander meant, and hurriedly said: "Commander, are you planning to take action directly?"
"That's right!"
Lu Zhixian nodded and sneered: "The battle has already started, and the situation is urgent! Since the main force of the devils has entered my ambush position, I can't let them leave. Even if the heavy artillery is not moved for the time being, our anti-Japanese regiment will never be worse than the other side with its combat effectiveness! Now pass on my order, as long as the main force of the devils enters our attack range, everyone except the heavy artillery will act according to the plan immediately!"
"Yes, commander! "
Zhou Weiguo looked excited.
…
Buzz.
Buzz.
The chariots roared and the tanks sped.
Although the road ahead was rugged and even had potholes in many places, it was nothing for tanks and other armored forces.
Now the main force of the entire brigade was advancing rapidly.
"Report to the brigade commander!"
Soon, a communication soldier hurriedly said: "The main force of Gaoqiao Battalion is being attacked frantically by the enemy. The current losses are quite serious. He requested the brigade to reinforce as soon as possible!"
"What is the situation of the third squadron?"
"The rescue channel has not been opened yet."
"Idiot!"
Sato Yuzaburo's face was really ugly. He gritted his teeth and said: "The elite of the empire was beaten so badly by the Chinese bandits. It is really a disgrace to my imperial soldiers! "
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A dense and terrifying explosion sounded in the distance.
This was enough to make everyone present feel the pressure that the Takahashi Battalion was under not far away. A brigade officer on the spot said anxiously: "Mr. Brigade Commander, the enemy's firepower is much more terrible than we expected. I guess Takahashi's situation is not optimistic now. We still have to go to rescue him quickly!"
"Humph!"
Although Sato Yusaburo was dissatisfied, he nodded.
This is indeed not the time to care too much.
"Brigade Commander!"
Chief of Staff Kameda suddenly shouted loudly. He glanced at the complex terrain near the obstacle not far away, and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Although the enemy's terrain is very open and does not look like an ambush, the obstacle is where my main force is most concentrated. If the enemy launches a strong attack here, we will suffer heavy losses!"
"Mr. Kameda! "
Sato Kumasaburo, who was already in a bad mood, finally waved his hand and frowned, saying: "I have listened to your advice and placed my field artillery battalion outside the middle section. Now you have seen that Takahashi still needs our full rescue. Now there is no time to delay here. Besides, humph, the bandits are just relying on the terrain to ambush. How dare they fight me in this open area?"
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
But at this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly broke through the air from a distance! (1874/2000, more than a hundred votes are still missing. Will it arrive today? I am rushing to the next chapter.)
