Chapter 900: The Last Hope (Second Update!) )
"Report to the sir, our position was attacked by heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties!" A lieutenant rushed in and reported, his face full of panic.
The wing captain's brows have been twisted into a big Sichuan character.
Without a report from his subordinates, he could guess how tragic the battlefield was.
The power of the heavy artillery was so great that the reinforced concrete fortifications would be blown into a pile of ruins in front of it, not to mention the pure civil fortifications that the troops hastily built.
It must have been like papier-mâché, instantly razed to the ground.
Troops hiding in fortifications, or completely exposed to the ground, not to mention, will definitely be killed and injured in an instant and lose their combat effectiveness.
"Sir, what are we going to do? We can't let the soldiers be exposed to artillery fire all the time! Seeing that the wing commander had not moved for a long time, the adjutant couldn't help but remind.
"Fight back now!" The Wing Captain ordered without thinking.
"Find the heavy artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, concentrate all the artillery fire for a counterattack, and kill those heavy artillery."
The artillery staff officer shook his head and denied: "Sir, we only have four mountain guns and five infantry guns, and the rest are all ordinary mortars. The humble post just calculated that the heavy artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army were at least four kilometers away from us, and these artillery pieces could not reach their artillery positions at all. ”
The wing captain scolded angrily: "Eight grid tooth road." Are you a stupid pig? ”
"The artillery can't hit them, won't you contact the aviation and bomb them with planes?"
"Contact the command immediately and request reinforcements from the aviation."
"We are under heavy artillery attack by the Eighth Route Army, and if the planes don't come quickly, we will be blown up."
The five-minute artillery fire was quickly over, and in the eyes of the Devil Wing Captain, these five minutes passed a particularly long time.
As soon as the artillery stopped, he grabbed his binoculars and rushed out of the headquarters.
On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, huge craters with a depth of more than two meters can be seen everywhere.
Around the crater, there were a large number of soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army, in various postures, motionless.
If nothing else, they should all be dead.
The more I looked at the captain, the heavier his face became.
"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"
Suddenly, the gunfire, which had been stopped for five minutes, rang out.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, the co-captain directly showed a stunned and shocked expression.
The Eighth Route Army attacked the position, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, bullets did not need to be fired at the blocking position of the imperial army.
More than 100 Eighth Route Army troops poured out of their positions and began to attack, one by one like hungry wolves, and the assault speed was very fast.
On the other hand, in the Imperial position, there was only one heavy machine gun and five light machine guns to counterattack.
As soon as he opened fire, he was targeted by the offensive fire of the Eighth Route Army, and then he was crushed to death, and there was no way to continue shooting.
There were more than 100 infantry left, scattered scattered on the defensive line that stretched for nearly 400 meters, and counterattacked with rifles, the guns were sparse and chaotic, and they could not stop the wolf-like Eighth Route Army at all.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Three explosions suddenly sounded in the blocking position, attracting the attention of the wing commander.
The moment black smoke rises from the ground with flames, dirt, gravel...... All were blown up.
Immediately after, the soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters around the bullet impact point lost their movement.
The gunfire all stopped, as if all the soldiers in that area were dead, and the counterattack fire of the entire defense line was weakened by nearly a third in an instant because of the three explosions.
"Sir, it's a heavy mortar, a mortar with a caliber of one hundred and fifty millimeters!"
The artillery staff officer who followed him shouted, solving the question in the wing commander's mind.
The wing captain was anxious, and scolded with a frown: "Eight Grid Yalu, how can the equipment of these Eighth Route Army be so good, it is heavy artillery and heavy mortar, and even we are not equipped." ”
"Order the artillery unit to counterattack immediately, we can't reach the heavy artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, and the mortar position will definitely be able to reach."
"Also, contact the command, the planes to reinforce us must be in place immediately."
"It's too strange to attack our Eighth Route Army, it's completely different from the Eighth Route Army we encountered before, and now it's using heavy artillery and heavy mortars, and no one knows what heavy weapons they have hidden and useless."
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The surviving Japanese artillery soon began to counterattack, but after only five rounds of shelling, a string of mountain artillery shells fell at them.
The co-captain was completely blindsided.
The adjutant's face was also full of puzzlement: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us is not only equipped with a large number of light and heavy artillery, but they also have a lot of ammunition, not at all like a lack of ammunition." ”
"Sir, the eastern defense line has been broken through by the Eighth Route Army." A communications officer rushed over to report that he was still covered in blood, apparently all the way from the battlefield.
"Captain Tengzhong is shrinking his defense, gathering the remaining troops to block layer by layer, and slowing down the offensive speed of the Eighth Route Army."
A Shaozuo captain rushed over and reported: "Sir, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and heavy mortars, go into battle together, and the warriors are almost unable to withstand it." ”
"There is also the preparation of artillery fire just now, and the troops are all exposed to artillery fire and suffer heavy casualties."
"In less than five minutes, at least fifteen hundred people were hors de combat."
The co-captain was even more anxious, and scolded with a calm face: "Eight Grid Tooth Road! ”
"In the past, it was the imperial army that bombed the Chinese army with heavy artillery, undermined their morale, and pressed them to fight. I didn't expect it to be the other way around today, and the imperial army became the target of bombing. ”
"I now finally understand why the Imperial Army is invincible on the battlefield."
"Such good equipment, heavy artillery and aircraft, is a burst of indiscriminate bombing on the enemy's head, even a group of rabble, under the cover of heavy artillery and aircraft, can match the enemy, and kill the enemy."
"Now is the best proof of this."
"No matter how strong the imperial army is, it is no match for heavy artillery."
"Now it seems that if you want to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army and turn defeat into victory, there is only one last way left."
"Send out aviation units that are more powerful than heavy artillery, destroy the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army, and blow them all up."
"Contact the command again, the troops were attacked by large-scale artillery of the Eighth Route Army, suffered heavy casualties, and urgently needed aircraft support."
"Order the garrisons in all directions, shrink the defense, concentrate the forces to block the attack layer by layer, slow down the attack speed of the Eighth Route Army, and buy time for the planes to come."
"As long as the aviation troops arrive at the battlefield in time, all the artillery equipped by the Eighth Route Army will become a pile of scrap metal, and the initiative on the battlefield will return to us at that time."
The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the haze on Commander Yang's face was swept away, and a smile reappeared on his face, and he was in a very good mood.
The moment the heavy artillery battalion opened fire, he knew he had won.
Sure enough, the shelling ended. Less than ten minutes after the start of a new round of offensives, the Japanese puppet army's defensive line was broken through, and there were signs of breakthroughs in the other three directions.
"Report to the chief, the independent regiment reports that they have broken through the Japanese defense!"
