Chapter 167: It is simply vulnerable (the second chapter is here today)
"Bagaya road!"
"Why do the Chinese troops on the opposite side still have tanks?"
"Am I dazzled?"
When the Japanese officer who was giving orders for other Japanese soldiers to fight back saw the two Sherman tanks that suddenly appeared behind the Chinese army,
His jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise, and he exclaimed with disbelief in his eyes.
But the 75mm short-barreled artillery and the 76mm long-barreled artillery on the two Sherman tanks were already aiming at his position without hesitation, preparing to fire.
"Bang! Boom! Boom..."
In a short time, three tank shells hit the Japanese officer who was still screaming in surprise.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Amidst the loud noises and the thick smoke billowing from the position, the Japanese officer was immediately torn to pieces by the explosion and died beyond hope.
However, those Japanese defenders who still had ammunition were still using grenade launchers, Type 97 90mm light mortars or Type 92 infantry cannons and heavy machine gun firepower to intercept them, trying to make a last-ditch effort to resist.
"Ta da da! Ta da da! Ta da da..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Pah! Pah! Pah pah pah..."
"Attack! Don't let those Chinese troops take a step forward! Even if we are going to die in battle, we must pull in one more Chinese army!"
"For the glory of the empire!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is on board!"
"Onboard!" "Assault!"
Amidst the dense sounds of gunfire from the national army, some Japanese officers of the death squads who were influenced by the spirit of bushido were shouting at the top of their lungs in the trenches of the positions they were holding.
At the same time, they also used their firearms to shoot wildly at the two oncoming Sherman tanks and more than a battalion of infantry following them;
And while calmly commanding the Japanese troops who still had weapons, equipment and ammunition to fight, they launched a desperate counterattack.
Looking at everything in front of him, Captain Hoshino Uchiyama, who had given up resistance and was about to die, suddenly rushed out of the trench where he was hiding, and a dead Japanese soldier came from the ground.
The soldier picked up an unbroken Sanba Gaigai. With blood-red eyes, he shouted crazily and rushed towards the national army troops whose fighting spirit was rising sharply to fight back.
But even so, behind the two Sherman tanks, there was still a turbulent flow of people like a black tide; rolling towards the Japanese position,
At the same time, their fanatical gunfire and the bombardment of the tank's main guns quickly covered up the Japanese army's weak gunfire attack.
For those Japanese officers and soldiers who still had a glimmer of hope, this kind of situation and situation was what they least wanted to see and were filled with fear.
"Are we really going to die here today?"
"Bagaya road! Impossible!"
"When did the Chinese army, which probably didn't even have enough guns and artillery, become so powerful!"
"When did they have such sophisticated troops?"
"What happened?"
Seeing that the defeat was over, many Japanese officers who had just leaned out from their hidden trenches to observe the battlefield had puzzled faces and sad expressions on their faces.
"Bagayalu! Fight back!!!"
"Fight back!!!"
"Whoever dares to retreat again, I will kill him!"
"Our Ninth Infantry Regiment must not lose face here!" "If you don't want to be a shame to the empire, fight back against those damned Chinese troops right away!"
"assault!"
"assault!"
As soon as they finished speaking, suddenly behind them, the captain of the 9th infantry regiment, Yasutaka Kamiya, ran over in a hurry, waving his command sword furiously, and yelled at the Japanese officers who had lost their will to fight.
"Give me the order to send our tank brigade out immediately to fight those damn tanks of the China Army!"
"In addition, let me have the heavy artillery unit of the 3rd Division carry out the artillery bombardment!"
"Why are their bombardments so slow?"
"You haven't attacked the China Army yet?"
"What are they doing?"
At the same time, the captain of the 9th Infantry Regiment, Kamiya Yasutaka, roared at the Chief of Staff, Shigeta Teng, who was following behind him.
"Hai!"
"I'll go urge them again right away!"
Chief of Staff Shigeta Teng immediately nodded and replied.
Then without thinking, he ran quickly towards where the tank and chariot brigade on his side and the heavy artillery unit of the 3rd Division were located.
Because he doesn't want to go to the front line to fight,
Because the current combat effectiveness of Liu Feiyang's national army shocked him.
But he couldn't figure out why Liu Feiyang's troops were able to possess so many weapons and equipment with powerful firepower, especially those mg42 general machine guns and the bombardment of those artillery groups, which shocked him even more.
.......
The screen is pulled back to the artillery position of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Third Division, and then the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade under its jurisdiction.
The heavy artillery brigade is already a strategic force for the Japanese. A standard heavy artillery brigade has two heavy artillery regiments, including 30-40 Taisho 7-type 150mm caliber heavy cannons.
There are 20 Type 90 240-caliber heavy cannons, 10 Type 96 305-caliber heavy howitzers, and some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 3-6 Type 98 320-caliber mortars.
There are 15 Taisho 7-type 150mm caliber heavy cannons, 3 Type 98 320-caliber mortars, 2 240-caliber heavy cannons, and 2 Type 96 305-caliber heavy howitzers, which are being placed in the field.
The artillery position of the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade was ready to go.
The power of these heavy artillery cannot be compared with the power of ordinary artillery. Once these heavy artillery are bombarded and explode, the explosive power is astonishing.
For example, the Type 90 240 heavy cannon has a shell weight of 185 kilograms. When loading, a special loading vehicle is required to load it into the barrel. Its range reaches 16 kilometers.
When it falls on the enemy's position and explodes, the damage radius is almost one hundred meters.
If the heavy artillery of the Japanese army was hit, at least one platoon of troops would be removed from the organization, because the people in the trenches would either be killed by the explosion, or die from the powerful and overbearing shock wave that shattered their internal organs.
.
As for the 320mm mortar with a larger caliber, the weight of the shell alone reaches 300 kilograms, and the attack power of the artillery attack can evaporate a company of national troops with one shot.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
"The artillery group of the Chinese Army has begun shelling the 9th Infantry Regiment!"
"And the frontline troops of the China Army also launched a charge against the 9th Infantry Regiment!"
"Do we need to counterattack the Chinese artillery now?"
When the 9th Infantry Regiment was covered by Liu Feiyang's artillery fire and suffered a large number of casualties, a Japanese artillery second lieutenant immediately reported respectfully to the commander of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, Uchimita Hui.
"I saw it all!"
"I'm just waiting for instructions from our division commander!"
"Without his order, I wouldn't have been able to carry out the bombardment right away!"
"Otherwise I would have launched a bombardment!"
"The artillery coverage of the Chinese Army on the opposite side is just useless, and cannot be compared with the heavy artillery force of our empire!"
"As soon as our heavy artillery unit launches a counterattack, the Chinese army on the opposite side will all die! Die!" "They are simply vulnerable!"
"As for the charging Chinese troops, they are even more like ants. With one round of heavy artillery, we can basically wipe out all of them like ants!"
"There is no way the Chinese army can defeat us!"
"They are just weak ants!"
After hearing this, the commander of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade Uchimita immediately showed an extremely contemptuous smile and responded disdainfully.
"Hai!"
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is absolutely right!"
The Japanese artillery second lieutenant quickly nodded and agreed.
