Chapter 1517: The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake
They saw a huge cannon that had never been seen before lined up in the artillery position, and their mouths could not be closed even when they opened their mouths.
There are not only 105 mm howitzers, 100 mm mortars, but also several 122 mm howitzers, which they have never heard of before, only that the main guns on warships are so big or maybe bigger.
And the shells that belonged to them were also piled up, but for safety, these shells were scattered behind the artillery positions.
After looking at these fortifications, these giant cannons, these shells, and the light and heavy machine guns, small mortars, and 92 infantry guns in the fortifications, Mr. Peng and Mr. Lin have the bottom in their hearts, if there are so many good weapons and they can't destroy each other, the other party is a god.
However, Guo Zhuocheng told them that when they encountered Japanese devils in the future, they should strengthen their weapons and equipment, especially in the area of air defense, and ensure that their skies are free from bombing and strafing by enemy planes. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the defense against poison gas bombs, and once the sinister Japanese devils believe that it is difficult to win the war or that they cannot achieve the desired goal, they will use poison gas and fire poison gas bombs.
As for encountering the US ** team, it is not to mention, not only to increase the air defense force, but also to increase the armor force, and increase the power of self-propelled guns, otherwise it can only be filled with human lives.
Although this is a matter for the future, Mr. Peng, Mr. Lin and other officers silently remembered what Guo Zhuocheng said, although they were not sure that their army had a chance to fight against the American ** team.
At noon the next day, Guo Zhuocheng received news that the main force of the Tax Police Corps had reached the vicinity of Longjiagou and was making preparations for the attack.
Although the subordinate column did not send troops to attack and harass the tax police regiment, it still sent special operations units to collect intelligence and find the gathering place of the opponent's troops and artillery positions.
With the approval of Guo Shucheng. Chen Peng ordered an artillery bombardment of the enemy's positions.
It seems that there has been a tacit understanding for a long time, and when the test firing of the directly subordinate column began, the artillery fire of the tax police corps also came.
Two minutes later, a fierce artillery battle between the two sides finally began.
Even though it was daytime, people could still see dark red bullet marks in the sky that had been cut by shells. With the explosion of the shells, Longjiagou shook the mountains and flew sand and rocks for a while.
Mr. Peng, Mr. Lin and others, who were standing in the distance and observing the position with binoculars, all opened their mouths wide and watched the shelling of both sides in amazement. When they thought that the artillery fire of the column under their direct command was enough and fierce enough, they did not expect that the artillery fire of the tax police regiment was not inferior, and one bombshell after another fell down, even if they were far away from the scene, they all felt a palpitation, and the ground they were standing on kept shaking.
When I saw those bunkers and hiding caves before. They felt that Guo Zhuocheng's cultivation was too luxurious, too extravagant, too solid, and too unnecessary, but now they are worried about whether these places can really withstand such a fierce bombardment, and they don't know if the officers and soldiers inside can avoid these bombings.
At the beginning of the artillery battle, the directly subordinate columns only fired one artillery from the east and one from the west, and it seemed that a complete artillery position had not been established. It seems that there is not much artillery, so that the artillery fire of the opposing side is much more powerful and fierce.
However, when Chen Peng heard the special forces gathering intelligence in front of him report that the enemy had gathered and that the few tanks and some military trucks covered with steel plates had begun to start, he immediately ordered an all-out bombardment.
As the supreme commander of the Tax Police Corps, Huang Jie's heart was empty before the battle broke out, and he didn't know what the strength of the other party was. I don't know if they are as powerful as the officers and soldiers of Xue Yue's corps and Hu Zongnan's troops who broke up are as powerful, and only after the shelling began did he relax his heart: the communists and bandits did not have many artillery.
Although the intensity of the artillery bombardment he saw exceeded his imagination, and he thought that if the Communists had not robbed the weapons and equipment of Xue Yue's corps and Hu Zongnan's corps, especially artillery, it would have been impossible for them to carry out such intense shelling, but he had a bottom in his heart: the other party's artillery was still less than that of the tax police regiment! Both the intensity and accuracy of the bombardment were lower than those of the Tax Police Corps. As long as the opponent really continues to play this kind of face-to-face combat with him, his troops will definitely win. Whether he can take advantage of the situation to recapture Chong-Qing He didn't dare to say, but there was no problem in defeating the current direct column.
Because he was worried that the other side would find out that it was not the opponent of the tax police corps after shelling each other for a while, it was likely that he would change his tactics accordingly. Therefore, if he played the guerrilla warfare, the movement warfare, and the sneak attack warfare, which were the best of the Red Army, then he would not be sure of victory, because his troops were not at all suitable for these battles of running everywhere and fighting fires everywhere.
In order to prevent the opponent from changing his strategy, he also wants to win the opponent before the opponent changes his strategy in a dignified manner, so that the opponent has no chance to change his strategy at all. Huang Jie, the commander of the regiment, then decided to launch an attack in advance, and he must drag down the communists and bandits in front of him, prevent them from escaping, and must annihilate them on the spot.
The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
The team of the Tax Police Corps had not yet been assembled, but the voice from the sky changed abruptly. Just when they didn't know what was happening, the sky was dark, and countless shells almost obscured the westward sun.
Just when they were dumbfounded, an earth-shattering explosion sounded in their artillery positions and ammunition storage places, and the whole earth shook violently, and most of the officers and soldiers fell to the ground in a hurry, and in addition to the smoke of gunpowder in the sky, there were soaring weapon parts and soldiers' limbs, and one of the thick cannon barrels was actually lifted by the explosion more than 20 meters high, and after being smashed down from the sky, it smashed a protruding stone on the mountainside of a mountain, and rolled down from it with a bang......
Huang Jie, who was swept to the ground by the cannonballs of his own side, got up from the ground and shouted in panic: "How is it possible? How can it be? This caliber is at least a hundred millimeters or more! This caliber is definitely above one hundred and twenty millimeters, do they have warships? Is this a naval gun? ”
He Shaozhou, who was next to him, was also pale, and said with a slight trembling: "No...... Impossible, right? Communists should ...... I can't drive the warship into the mountains......"
A staff officer next to him said in horror: "Who knows if they are carrying ......, the communists can spread beans into soldiers......
Huang Jie was the first to come to his senses, and after standing firmly, he knew that he had lost his temper just now, and said curtly: "They can't have a warship!" Our warships can't fly here either. They must have gotten their heavy artillery somewhere......"
"Commander-in-chief, what are we going to do?" He Shaozhou was also much calmer, looked around at the fierce artillery fire, and said, "Their firepower is much stronger than ours......
At this moment, the calls to report losses and the calls for help from various positions came in one after another.
Not only were several artillery positions destroyed, but the fortifications of the front line began to be ploughed down in order by the heavy artillery fire of the opposing side. In the fierce artillery, those fortifications could not stop the fire of the Red Army at all, and all of them collapsed under one shot.
Huang Jie had no choice but to shout that the officers and soldiers in front of him would defend and defend to the death, and tell them that whoever escaped would be shot, and at the same time comforted them that the communists and bandits on the opposite side had absolutely no more shells, and now they were desperate, as long as they survived the period of time in front.
What Huang Jie didn't expect was that after the other party basically destroyed the artillery position of the Tax Police Corps, he began to carry out barrage artillery bombardment on the forward positions of the Tax Police Corps, I don't know how many artillery groups joined the shelling, and the shells seemed to fly from all directions and then formed a terrifying wall of fire in front, starting from the middle of the two armies and slowly crushing over.
This wall of fire is like an infinitely powerful troll, destroying every qiē it encounters, and the soldiers lurking in the trench in front of it are like ants, not even ants, and they are just blown to slag. An intact soldier was swept into the air by a wave of air, but before he could rise any height, he was shredded by countless pieces of shrapnel, then lifted by another shell, and then sliced more finely by a round of shrapnel......
A complete body flew up, and all that fell was a cloud of dust mixed with dirt, gunsmoke, and shrapnel. As for the soldiers who were blown to powder on the ground, there was not even a trace of it, and the flames caused by the explosion burned to ashes along with the earth......
The bombardment of the artillery group was personally commanded by Luo Xi and Liu Xiangyang, and it was not only fierce, but also accurate. This barrage made the well-informed Mr. Peng and Mr. Lin gasp.
Mr. Peng looked at the smoke in the distance and said, "My good man, is there such a cannon?" If you hit it like this, where can you hide? Even if you dig three feet into the ground, it is difficult to avoid the bombardment of this kind of heavy artillery, and you can't hide in the ground and fly to death. ”
Mr. Lin muttered to himself: "It's good that so many guns are good, but the maneuverability is poor." How many logistical units would have to be there to support such an artillery bombardment. No wonder Guo Zhuocheng wanted to set up a logistics department at the battalion level. In the future, it will be logistics that will be fought, and whoever transports more things will win. ”
Guo Zhuocheng only wanted to frighten the other side's courage and give the other side a dismount, so that they could understand that the weapons and equipment they thought they were proud of were nothing in front of the column directly under them, and the firepower of the Red Army was much stronger than theirs. His ultimate goal was to capture more soldiers, so that these prisoners would lose their illusions and become Red Army as soon as possible.
Under the command of the special forces lurking in the early stage, the artillery fire extended forward along the relatively flat road, and the teams that were gathering and preparing to charge were beaten to pieces and collapsed, especially those heavy artillery, heavy machines, and those tanks and military trucks covered with steel plates, all of which were hit by one heavy shell after another, and soon turned into parts or simply turned into a pile of scrap metal, splashing around, and many soldiers were killed by the shells and ravaged by these flying pieces of iron......
