Chapter 78 B-4 M1931 203mm Howitzer Shelling (Chapter 2 is here today)(1/2)
Just as the Gui army rushed to Liu Feiyang's defensive position,
In the area near the air raid shelter a little behind Yunzaobang,
Several war reporters were using their cameras to take pictures of the battlefield scenes.
"Oops! The Japanese have started to counterattack and carry out artillery shelling! We'd better leave here quickly! Yong'er! It'll be too late if we don't leave!"
"I feel like the Japanese army will break through the defenders here at any time!"
"Look at the fierce battles between the 59th Division, the 61st Division, the 67th Division, the 77th Division, the 90th Division and the Tax Police Corps!"
Luo Shanshan said in panic when she looked at the indiscriminate bombardment carried out by the Japanese Yoshizumi Ryosuke 9th Division, Ito Masaki 101st Division, and the Japanese 3rd Division covered by artillery fire.
At this moment, she no longer looked as brave as she had when she promised to follow her friend Mo Yong'er closely and conduct field interviews together.
Now she is a very weak and frightened girl.
"I won't withdraw! If you are really scared, then just go home like Chen Hongli and others!"
Mo Yong'er responded expressionlessly while continuing to take photos quickly.
Because when she talked about going home, she thought of Chen Hongli.
Because Chen Hongli agreed to go with her to conduct field interviews deep behind enemy lines, but she left halfway because she felt unwell.
So in the end, only Luo Shanshan and a few braver male reporters were by her side.
Although she felt very uncomfortable about this, she also understood that not everyone would be as brave, as devoted to the life of a war correspondent, and as adventurous as she was.
Not to mention the great mission and belief of being a war correspondent.
Even if she was on a dangerous battlefield with heavy artillery fire, she had no intention of retreating.
Even though she was very scared at this moment, the faith of a war reporter deep in her bones was always supporting her.
Let her make up her mind that no matter what the price, she will take photos and write articles about the atrocities committed by the Japanese in China, and use newspapers to disclose the truth of the war to the whole world.
And he will publish the heroic combat actions of the national army that he has witnessed with his own eyes to the world, so that ordinary people in the north and south of the Yangtze River will know that there are a group of brave soldiers and their officers on the front line, who are throwing their lives and blood to protect their homes and the country.
With.
Just observing and taking photos along the way,
The battle situation she saw was that the national army was retreating steadily.
In particular, war situations in which the national army suffered heavy casualties were not uncommon.
Just like now that they are near the air raid shelter behind the 8th Division, they can truly feel that the elite of the 8th Division are about to be crippled by the 101st Division.
"Luo Shanshan is right!"
"Let's get out of here quickly!"
"Not only are the other national army units almost unable to withstand the Japanese army's attack, but even the Eighth Division not far ahead of us, I don't think it can last much longer!"
"For our personal safety and for these rare and precious battlefield photos, we'd better leave here as soon as possible!"
Just when Luo Shanshan's persuasion to war reporter Mo Yong'er to evacuate was ineffective, another male reporter named Chen Shen also hurriedly persuaded her.
"Ah! This..."
"Brother Chen Shen, do you want me to leave now?"
"But I haven't completely finished filming the battle scenes of the Eighth Division!"
"And I just heard from their logistics troops in the rear that their Eighth Division has a figure named Liu Feiyang!"
"I heard that Liu Feiyang and his company killed a lot of Japanese!"
"Now it is famous throughout the entire Eighth Division, and even among nearby friendly forces!"
"I really want to take pictures of them fighting bravely and killing Japanese enemies!"
"I want to publish their heroic deeds to all walks of life in Songhu and across the country, so that the people can know about such an anti-Japanese hero!"
"Because our anti-Japanese morale is getting more and more sluggish now!"
Mo Yong'er blurted out without thinking.
"Ah! This..."
"All right!"
Chen Shen, who was well aware of Mo Yong'er's rising power and serious temper, could only say helplessly.
Then he could only carefully lead Mo Yong'er towards Liu Feiyang's position.
...
The screen was pulled back to Liu Feiyang's position,
“Boom…boom…boom…”
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Boom! Boom, boom! Boom, boom..."
"Ahhh! Ahhhh..."
The Japanese's mortar troops, tank guns, and grenade launchers continued like crazy, firing all the artillery shells they had into the Sichuan Army's old smoker Yang Bin's position.
"Quickly retreat!"
"The enemy's artillery fire is getting more intense and crazy!"
"Retreat to the rear!"
"quick!"
As soon as Chen Huanyu, a veteran of the Sichuan Army, saw something was wrong, he immediately shouted at the old smoker Yang Bin and the others.
It's just that the enemy's artillery fire is relatively dense,
In a short period of time, four of the Sichuan Army's anti-aircraft machine gun groups were blown up, killing eight comrades.
3 were injured.
For Liu Feiyang, who originally had few soldiers, this was a heartache that made his heart bleed.
Moreover, the anti-aircraft machine gun team in the first round suffered so many casualties, which means it has been defeated by the Japanese.
Moreover, at this moment, the Sichuan Army veterans Lao Qiang and his anti-aircraft machine gun ammunition were running out of ammunition.
And at this time,
On the position of the 101st Wing,
"Baga! Baga! Give me a bombardment and kill these Chinese troops! Don't let them escape!"
"Baga! How come we have been shelling for so long and still haven't wiped out all the Chinese troops! You idiots! What the hell do you do for a living! Are you all blind?"
The commander of the regiment, Kunigoro Iizuka, was frantically waving the command sword in his hand, furious and roaring at the top of his lungs.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Captain! Those Chinese troops are so cunning! They hide here and there, and it's hard for us to find their exact location!"
"And their defenses are relatively strong..."
Operation staff officer Jing Hongxiangshan answered uneasily with his head covered in cold sweat.
"Baga! You're a loser! You're a waste!"
"Now that all the regiments have achieved outstanding results, only our 101st regiment is still here to fight against a pitiful China Army with a small number of troops!"
"Our 101st Wing is a team of thousands of people!"
"There is no shortage of heavy firepower weapons and equipment, but actually the Chinese Army on the opposite side of a company level was not able to capture the position!"
"You cowards have simply ruined the face of our empire and our 101st Wing!"
"You! You have the nerve to give me such nonsense?"
"Quickly capture the Chinese Army's position opposite me immediately, otherwise I will execute all of you losers!"
Hearing this, because the war was not going well, the captain of the regiment, Kunigoro Iizuka, finally couldn't help his violent temper and spat all over his face at Ihong Xiangshan and roared.
"Pah! Pah, pah!"
Then, before the operational staff officer Ihiro Kazan could reply, the commander of the regiment, Kunigoro Iizuka, slapped him in the face again unscrupulously.
This time, the direct attack made operational staff officer Jing Hongxiangshan feel like stars were in his eyes and his head was dizzy.
Just as the commander of the team, Kunigoro Iizuka, was furiously venting his anger,
On Liu Feiyang's position, when Liu Feiyang saw that his first anti-aircraft machine gun position was about to be completely blown up by the Japanese's artillery counterattack,
He immediately took Jinbao, Sichuan Army platoon leader Zhang Junjie, Northeastern Army Shen Jingbing and others into the last heavy artillery defense position he had deployed, and began to quickly operate the heavy artillery.
Three B-4 M1931 203mm howitzers,
Only one can be operated quickly and enter the state of bombardment.
Because to operate such a monster heavy gun mounted on a tractor, 15 people are needed to assist in operating one.
"Target point: Japanese position 101! Jinbao - load No. 3 - point fuse - battalion direction 30 - range 3800 meters - fire!"
