Chapter 1271
The armored assault battalion was very fast. After killing the Japanese strike with a thunder attack, he continued to advance and rushed towards the main force of the Japanese behind.
After several raids, every company commander of the Armored Battalion knew that the raid in front of him now looks very smooth and completely one-sided. However, once the Japanese army reacted from the initial chaos and transferred anti-tank artillery, the situation would reverse and the nightmare of the Armored Assault Battalion would begin.
Therefore, everyone seized the very short time in front of them and raided the Japanese army with the fastest speed, causing the largest casualties to the Japanese army.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army's armored troops are coming towards us!" A second lieutenant rushed over and reported with panic on his face.
"What a panic! I can see the big lights of the armored vehicle clearly!" The captain suppressed the panic in his heart and ordered with a serious face.
"The second and third squadrons alternately cover and block them, and the fourth squadron reserve team must at least hold them back!"
"Go and urge the anti-tank squadron to kill them soon. Without cannons, just with flesh and blood, we can't stop those armored vehicles!"
At the command of the Japanese division, the commander of the Kato Division, also received news that the attacking troops were counterattacked by the Eighth Route Army armored troops.
In amazement, he immediately ordered: "The attacking troops retreat immediately, and the rapid-fire artillery squadron should cover it, and be sure to block the Eighth Route Army armored troops!"
"Since the infantry cannot take down the mortar group of the Eighth Route Army, then we also use artillery!"
"The field artillery corps will immediately set up positions and destroy the Eighth Route Army mortar group. If possible, cover the Eighth Route Army armored forces with several rounds of artillery fire and kill those armored vehicles. It poses too great a threat to us!"
"Tonight, the Eighth Route Army will not only attack us, it will definitely be a new conspiracy~"
"Tell the remaining troops to be ready for battle anytime, anywhere from now on!"
Wang Ping could see clearly the battle between the New First Regiment Command, the armored assault battalion and the Japanese attacking troops a few kilometers away.
Especially the headlights of the armored vehicles illuminate every move on the Japanese battlefield.
Suddenly, Wang Ping, who was holding the telescope, moved, raised his eyebrows and judged: "No, the Japanese who came out are going to retreat!"
"Staff Officer Zhou, where has Jin Kai's troops been?"
"The nearest battalion has arrived at the battlefield!" Staff Officer Zhou answered immediately!
"Send a telegram to the Chief of Staff, leaving half of the mortars to continue to attack the Japanese heavy artillery group positions. You must not let the Japanese re-enter the positions!"
"The remaining mortar covers armored assault battalion, the fifth battalion, the new fifth battalion, the independent fifth battalion, launch an attack on the Japanese attacking troops, and then take down the Japanese heavy artillery group in one go! Tell the Chief of Staff that the speed of the entire operation must be fast, and the Japanese army must not react in advance!"
When Staff Zhou turned around and gave orders, another combat staff rushed over.
"The regiment commander, the front-line reconnaissance force reported that the Japanese field artillery wing is setting up artillery at the station~"
"Where is the Artillery Commander King?" Wang Ping asked immediately.
"I'm here, regiment commander!" A young staff officer rushed over from the command center.
"Can our mountain artillery group hidden on the battlefield launch the shells into the base of the Japanese artillery troops, which is the artillery position they are now setting up!"
The artillery staff member said without thinking: "There is no problem at all. The effective range of mountain cannons is more than five kilometers. Our mountain cannon group is only four kilometers away from the Japanese artillery station, which is within range!"
"Very good!" Wang Ping's eyes quickly became hot.
"Originally, I was going to eat their heavy artillery tonight. Since the field artillery corps has also been delivered to the door, we will accept it too!"
"Order the mountain cannon group to fire immediately and destroy the field cannon positions that the Japanese are setting up!"
"Also, order the heavy artillery battalion to divide half of the artillery to reinforce the armored assault battalion and attack the Japanese heavy artillery group!"
"Order the nearby army, Zhang Qingyun, to lead the troops to reinforce the Chief of Staff immediately!"
"After taking down the heavy artillery group, the Japanese army will definitely send troops to grab it back. At that time, we will transfer the heavy artillery while attacking the Japanese offensive troops. Maybe we will severely damage the Kato Division in front of us in one battle tonight!"
At the Japanese field artillery corps, thirty-six field artillery were placed neatly on the battlefield, with three rows in front and back, and seven or eight gunners, loaders, and ammunition hands scattered around the guns...
Everyone was busy in a nervous and orderly manner, and Colonel Honchi, the captain of the wild artillery corps, was in a very good mood.
As soon as the heavy artillery wing joined the battle, he realized that the scale of the battle tonight was not much smaller.
Although there was no order to participate in the war, Colonel Ichi still ordered all his subordinates to stand by and could not rest.
Therefore, after receiving the order to participate in the battle, the field artillery corps took less than ten minutes to arrange all the field artillery into place. Then, the artillery was adjusted based on the shooting elements calculated by the artillery staff.
Seeing the thick cannon barrels raised one after another, Colonel Honchi seemed to have seen the scene of the enemy being blown to pieces under his own shelling.
"Sir, we can fire in two more minutes!" reminded the chief of staff of the wing.
"Yo Xi!" Colonel Benchi ordered with satisfaction.
"Our target is the Eighth Route Army mortar group, which is light and has a fast transfer speed. Only by firing volleys and covering them with the most violent artillery fire can they complete the maximum damage before they retreat!"
"After all the artillery is adjusted and the shooting elements are fired, there is no need to test the fire, and directly fire five shells quickly to cover the enemy with five rounds of artillery fire. The faster the better!"
The Chief of Staff agreed with the answer: "The Chief is wise, go and arrange it immediately!"
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Before the people could move, the harsh whistle of a large number of shells passing through the sky reached their ears.
From far to near, the sound became louder and louder.
Colonel Benchi and Chief of Staff turned pale on the spot, and then subconsciously fell to the ground and shouted: "Blasting, hide quickly..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Six mountain cannons smashed down thirty-six shells. During the violent explosion, more than thirty huge fireballs mixed with thick black smoke quickly rose from the field cannon positions.
The corps captain who was lying on the ground only glanced at the field cannon position, and a hint of despair appeared on his pale face.
In the dazzling flames, at least five field cannons that had raised their muzzles were blown over, and one of them was directly hit by the shell, and the body and the wheel of the cannon were divided into two.
As for the gunners under his command, there were not many after half of them were assigned to the heavy artillery corps.
However, the artillery fire in front of him raided at least one hundred subordinates and was killed and injured, losing their combat effectiveness!
"Sir, it's a mountain artillery group. The Eighth Route Army also hid a mountain artillery group nearby. We were targeted by this mountain artillery group!" The Chief of Staff, who reacted from the shock, judged.
"Carry a counterattack now! You can't be beaten so passively. An enemy will be wiped out if you don't kill them!" Colonel Benchi gritted his teeth and ordered.
The position has only been hit by one round of artillery, but as an excellent artillery commander, Colonel Chi can already be sure that the field artillery corps will not escape the bad luck tonight. Even if they are not killed, they will suffer heavy losses.
In this case, he had only one idea. The field artillery gang must exert its residual heat at the last moment, kill one more enemy and destroy one more artillery, and the pressure on the infantry will be reduced by one point!
