Chapter 313 Painting (please vote for me!)

On the coast of Arashiyama, a mound that looks a bit like a large grave mound is even more conspicuous. This is the military headquarters of the Japanese Army's Second Army. This is a bunker made of steel components from destroyed merchant ships. In the past,

Over the past few days, the bunker withstood bombings again and again, but there was no damage inside the bunker.

Perhaps the Japanese army has never learned to defend, but like any army in the world, they always have an instinctive commonality in protecting the command post, which is to provide the command post with the best protection, dozens of steel plates, and hundreds of steel beams.

, coupled with several meters of covering soil, making this bunker the safest place on the entire coast.

In this strong bunker, dozens of staff officers were still arguing. They were still arguing whether the Chinese ** team's attack should be a general attack or a feint attack.

"Judging from the intensity of the attack, this is undoubtedly a general attack!"

"What we are facing is China Central Army, it is impossible for them..."

"We must not place our hopes of survival on the internal struggle of the Chinese Army! I demand that the reserve team be dispatched immediately!"

"I agree!"

"I object……"

Amidst the noise of Yinchuan, Osako Shangdou, the commander, just quietly looked at the reports of officers who died in the battle. The officers on these lists were different from the previous reports. They did not die in bombings or at sea.

, but died in the attack of the Chinese Army:

Captain of the 5th Infantry Regiment: Colonel Eitaro Ikeuchi.

Captain of the 17th Infantry Regiment: Colonel Narutomi Toritake.

The first captain of the 5th Infantry Regiment: Major Yoko Akita.

The second captain of the 5th Infantry Regiment: Major Shun Ikushima.

Captain of the third battalion of the 5th Infantry Regiment: Major Uchidō Rikimori.

The second captain of the 17th Infantry Regiment: Captain Fumi Sato.

Adjutant of the 17th Infantry Regiment: Major Okumenosuke.

Co-captain of the 47th Infantry Regiment: Colonel Yoshie Ishinosuke.

Captain of the 1st Battalion of the 47th Infantry Regiment: Lieutenant Colonel Kensuke Oeda.

Captain of the Third Battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment: Lieutenant Colonel Sato Nobu.

Captain of the 10th Squadron of the 31st Infantry Regiment: Lieutenant Shozo Ono.

…

The long list of dead officers made Osako Shangdou's eyes reveal sadness and ferocity. Just at this moment, a simple door made of wooden boards was pushed in.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the second line of defense was attacked by the China Meat Bomb Squadron. It is currently in chaos with our defense line. The main force of the China Army has launched a general offensive..."

"Immediately dispatch the reserve team and order, Commander Tengtian Brigade, to repel the Chinese Army's attack and counterattack the Chinese Army's defense line!"

This is the last usable unit in Osako Shangdou's hands. In the past period, through weapons salvaged from beached merchant ships and sunken ships, the available troops in his hands have increased to five regiments, and in the China Army's

During the attack, he has already lost one regiment. Apart from the two regiments deployed for defense, only the Tengtian Brigade is the strategic reserve in his hands. Now it is time to invest in the strategic reserve!

In the dark night, a wave of black pressure surged towards the already boiling position. The swarming Japanese reserve troops instantly turned the tide of the battle. The brave team who had been fighting to the death were like mantises blocking the car, finally tearing apart the defense line.

It could be recaptured by the Japanese army at any time.

"Fire 0 flares!"

After the green signal flare was fired, Sun Mingxiang looked at more and more Japanese troops swarming in. He turned his head and shouted at the side. The signal soldier who had been holding a submachine gun next to him was stunned for a moment, and then moved toward him.

He took out three signal tubes from his waist and pulled the tails of them hard.

Three bright red meteors, one after another, rushed through the dark sky, drawing arc-shaped red lines, piercing the silence of the night. The fiery red tail flames even reflected the night sky.

A red signal flare was fired, which became the final fuse in this battle, causing the battlefield in front of him to burn, roar and vibrate.

For the Japanese troops who were counterattacking from the rear, they did not know what these three red flares meant, but for the artillerymen of the First Army who had already marked the Japanese positions and fired at Zhu Yuan, they knew clearly.

What this means is that as soon as the signal flare rose into the air, the artillery observers at the front immediately sent a signal to the brigade and division artillery personnel using telephones and radios.

Now is the time to carry forward the powerful artillery fire of the First Army!

"...Carry out coverage shooting! All the artillery of the army will focus on bombarding the Japanese positions according to the predetermined sight range! Eight rounds of rapid fire!"

At the artillery position of two heavy howitzer regiments directly under the army four kilometers away, following this order, the entire artillery position suddenly seemed like a strong wind, and the red flames of dozens of 150-heavy howitzers instantly lit up.

Throughout the night sky, the orange-red gun flames lit up the night sky, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew up in front of the gun. The strong wind blew up the floating ash on the ground, and rolled up a misty "gun fog" with the gun flames, and then there was

The sound of an indistinguishable number of cannons being fired in a row!

At the same time, the brigade's 75 field artillery, the regiment's 120mm mortar, and the battalion's 81mm mortar all fired shells at the Japanese position at their maximum rate of fire. At the moment of the shelling, the entire earth began to tremble.

, and then the bombardment never stopped. At this time, everything in the world seemed to be put into a big cowhide drum, and then people outside the drum kept hitting the drum head with heavy hammers.

The sound of artillery was like the thunder of early winter, sweeping across the entire coast! Fireballs from the explosions splashed up in the originally boiling Japanese army positions. At the moment when the fireballs rose into black smoke, the scorching steel fragments roared and cheered towards

Flying around. The shells fired by the 150mm heavy howitzer penetrate deeply into the ground and then explode. The smoke column stirred up is full of black color. The power of such large-caliber shells is far more than other field guns. It can not only

Exploding the ground, the steel fragments can kill the enemy, and even people within a few meters of the explosion range will have their internal organs shattered by the shock wave!

At this time, the curtain-like night was filled with the harsh and shrieking sounds of different artillery shells. The sharp one was the roar of field artillery across the sky, the dull one was the roar of heavy howitzers, and the dull and slow one was the roar of forced-fire artillery.

For anyone, this is the most magnificent and dazzling picture performed on the coast of Arashiyama!

This picture uses steel as a pen, a gun to hold the pen, flesh and blood as the paint, and the earth as the canvas. This picture is enough to drive anyone crazy and burn the blood in everyone's heart.

.

While holding the pen in this painting, the charge began. The officers and soldiers of the fifth brigade, shouting "kill", desperately launched the final attack on the Japanese position. Artillery shells continued to explode in front of their eyes. Occasionally,

All the shell fragments roared into their camp, claiming the lives of several people, but they failed to stop them. The soldiers held their rifles, shouted with red eyes, and launched a charge. Now there is no one left in the world.

Only death can stop them.

But for the newly reinforced Japanese reserve team, their experience was disastrous. When they collided with the Fengyong team, they thought they could easily defeat the meat bomb night attack team, and then took advantage of the chaos to launch a counterattack and seize the enemy.

When they lost their position yesterday, they felt a tremor in the ground, followed by a continuous roar in the air. It was the roar of the artillery shells fired by the artillery group as they flew through the air!

Before they could react, artillery shells like raindrops had already exploded in their infantry formation! In order to counterattack the Fengyong team and meet the general offensive force of the Chinese Army, the formation of the Japanese reserve team was a dense skirmish line.

Nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers were drowned in a ball of flames and gunpowder smoke.

In the fierce flames and gunpowder smoke, the steel fragments dragging the screams of death, with the screams of death, flew around at a high speed of kilometers, and the steel fragments of various formal shapes tore at the Japanese soldiers in the crowd.

Even after penetrating a person's body, a fragment was still scattering in the air with full power. While the body was torn by the fragments, the Japanese soldiers who were originally preparing to fight back screamed and were beaten in various strange ways.

They fell to the ground and were even "thrown" into the sky by the cheers of the artillery shells. In the continuous explosion of the artillery shells, thousands of Japanese lost their lives in an instant.

Compared with the Japanese troops near the position, the fate of the main force of the Japanese reserve force originally used to counterattack the China Army's general offensive in the second wave in the rear was even more miserable. The 120mm heavy mortars of the military-affiliated mortar brigade at the front were

As the lead, at least more than 150 81mm and 60mm mortars were conducting screen bombardment at the same time. The screen bombardment was to use rapid fire to divide the enemy forces. The mortars were fired.

The speed is much faster than ordinary artillery. Although its accuracy is average, enough shells often exceed the accuracy. In just minutes, thousands of mortar shells are fired like raindrops.

Although the mortar uses a low-power ammonium ladder bomb, the advantage of the cast iron shell being more fragmented when it explodes is fully utilized at this time. The accurate shooting sight and accurate timing have been measured in advance, so that

Almost all the artillery shells exploded accurately in the middle of the Japanese reserve force. After several rounds of shelling, the air-burst bombs that completed the distance setting replaced the high-explosive bombs. The air-burst bombs exploded directly in the air, which made those Japanese soldiers even more vulnerable.

Nowhere to hide!

These Japanese troops, who had never expected to encounter such an intensive fire attack, were swept down by steel fragments like harvesters before they could even think of hiding when they were hit by such unprecedentedly accurate and ferocious shelling.

Most of it!

The first minute of artillery bombardment was devastating to the Japanese reserve forces. The long-range howitzers, mountain artillery and field artillery shells fired the Japanese troops right in the middle, beating them back and forth. The mortar troops used their force to attack the Japanese troops.

The high rate of fire of the artillery fire, which was similar to that of a machine gun, squandered the shells towards the heads of the Japanese soldiers, allowing these Japanese soldiers to experience the most ferocious and also the most deadly artillery fire for the first time.

Tengtian, who was commanding the troops to carry out the counterattack in the shelter at the rear, was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. Having experienced the Russo-Japanese War, he could not imagine what kind of firepower this was. In his opinion, this kind of firepower was

It was unimaginable that he had never thought that the firepower of an army of the Chinese Army could exceed that of an army of the Japanese Army! Even the artillery bombardment launched by several armies invested in the Battle of Fengtian during the Russo-Japanese War could not compare with this.

As the shells continued to fall, some officers who were lucky enough to be uninjured lay on the ground or rolled into the crater, shouting hoarsely for their subordinates to take cover. Those well-trained soldiers had gone through the initial panic and confusion.

Outside, they all lay on the ground looking for cover nearby, enduring the opponent's shells rolling the ground around them.

This ferocious bombardment lasted only a few minutes. When the main force of the brigade approached the Japanese position, Wu Peifu, who had been observing the battlefield situation with a telescope, ordered it to stop. From the telescope, he could clearly see that his troops had captured

They overran the Japanese defense line, and while seizing the Japanese defense line, they completely ignored the flanks and attacked the Japanese army in depth.

"Contact the headquarters immediately. Our brigade has seized the Japanese position and controlled the battlefield situation! Establish the headquarters and immediately order the general reserve team to enter the battlefield..."

The stars in the sky blinked with shining eyes, just like the eyes of the soldiers who were all pressing the triggers and preparing to shoot, anxiously looking at the army commander in the mountain temple.

Army Chief of Staff Qu Fengtong looked at the commander.

At this time, Xu Shuzheng seemed a little hesitant. He looked at the map and the torn hole marked on the map.

For a moment, he admired Wu Peifu from the bottom of his heart, who dared to contradict him at the risk of being shot. He opened the Japanese army's mouth and took the initiative to attack the Japanese army in depth. This meant that the time was ripe for a general attack. This was not right.

Is this the moment he has been waiting for? But there is a sense of unwillingness in his heart. He has not been able to achieve his wish and have not consumed enough troops. Now he even regrets it. Why did he choose Wu Peifu? If it was someone else

People, if... But now, time is passing little by little, if you don't seize the opportunity...

"Order!"

Turning his head suddenly, Xu Shuzheng spat out two undoubted words.
To be continued...
