547. Heavy artillery bombarded Japanese ammunition depots
On the evening of March 25, the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), the Japanese army, which had attacked Taierzhuang for a whole day without results, died down and retreated to rest.
But at this time, the Jinzhuang Railway Station and ammunition depot were very busy, on the one hand, unloading a large amount of ammunition and materials from the southbound train of the Jinpu Line, and on the other hand, loading ammunition and transporting it to the front line.
The railway station and ammunition depot were piled up, and the porters and baggage troops were also busy for a day, and now seeing that it was getting dark, they also opened their own meals, prepared meals, and continued to carry them, and the front line was in a hurry.
When the devil soldier's dinner was still in his hand, suddenly there was a whistling sound on the edge of the sky, followed by a loud bang, and the Chinese army's 150MM heavy howitzer bombarded it.
At the center of the bullet impact point, a pile of materials was immediately blasted into the sky, and the nearest devil disappeared immediately, probably torn to pieces by the powerful explosion.
Those devils next to them were also shocked by the strong qi wave and flew out, bleeding from seven holes. Then, there was nothing more, and a series of loud noises followed.
The 150 heavy howitzers are constantly expanding the area of bombardment, and the entire railway station, ammunition depot, and warehouse in Jinzhuang are all the targets of artillery precision strikes.
The devil's train didn't have time to leave the station, it was blown into several sections, and the ammunition and materials on the train also caught fire, and there were continuous explosions, and the entire train was almost blown into an iron frame.
Those warehouses also started a fire, and the garrison of the devils is now mainly fleeing for their lives, where can they have time to put out the fire, the fire that rushed to the sky reflected the evening sky, like a beautiful sunset, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time in the sky.
Those ammunition depots themselves had a lot of shells in them, and as long as one shell was hit, it exploded almost immediately, and a large number of shells were detonated, causing a series of loud noises that could not be heard clearly.
The earth was trembling, and a strong tremor could be felt in a radius of ten miles, like an earthquake, and the surrounding Chinese troops thought that the Japanese army was making some big moves somewhere.
And the Chinese army on the Taierzhuang side, especially the 184th Regiment, many of them know that this is our heavy artillery attacking the devil, which is really happy, rushing to the number, and being as happy as the Chinese New Year.
In just a few minutes of shelling, the Japanese garrison at the Jinzhuang Railway Station and ammunition depot, even if the quality of the soldiers was good and they could react at the first time and lie down in time, could not save them.
Most of the Japanese soldiers were either killed or shocked to death, and most of the bodies that could be seen were naked, and their clothes were torn off by the air waves.
The corpses that cannot be seen are the minced meat and organs of the whole place, and even a certain piece of meat and a certain organ that has been charred, which is unbearable
The devils never thought that the Chinese army would have 150 heavy artillery to bombard them, and the positions of the garrison troops, that is, simple trenches and communication trenches, at most had a little machine gun nest and small artillery positions.
There are almost no bunkers dug to resist heavy artillery, so it is not safe anywhere to come in such heavy artillery, there is no hiding place, and the explosion of the ammunition depot has caused a large-scale explosion, and there is a bunker at the center of the explosion, which is estimated to be useless.
……
Lao Qin's feelings were even stronger, thinking that in the past on the Songhu battlefield, only us Chinese were bombed, and it was a terrible and miserable bombing.
How many brothers, just rushed from thousands of miles away, were immediately blown up and killed in the wilderness on the outskirts of Shanghai, and they didn't even see what the devil looked like, it's a pity and so sad.
Lao Qin went from Shanghai to Nanjing, and then to the Huai River, to here, this way, it was the way that was bombarded by the devils, and how many comrades-in-arms died under the heavy artillery of the devils along the way, which cannot be calculated.
And now, the devils of the dog day, you also have today, you also have the day of heavy artillery, are you comfortable? Cool?
One day, the shells of our Chinese will also hit your Japanese soil, and this enemy, no matter how long, must be avenged, dog day, you wait.
During this time, Lao Qin was not cheering like the other brothers, but alone, sneaking into the bottom of the dark bunker, because it was the closest place to those dead brothers.
Lao Qin sat in the depths of the dark bunker, silently reciting the names of the brothers who were born and died with him and who had now died.
"Brothers, you go over there, today, our brothers of the heavy artillery regiment, have avenged you, and in the future, we will continue to avenge you."
……
After a round of rapid fire, the 10th Artillery Regiment immediately withdrew the artillery from its position according to the established line, pulled it into the cave and concealed it, and at the same time asked all the soldiers around the artillery position to pay attention to concealment.
Less than ten minutes later, the Japanese artillery began to retaliate and counterattack, firing a large number of shells at the artillery position of the 10th Artillery Regiment just now, and the earth-shaking artillery bombardment was almost rare.
Fortunately, there was an arrangement in advance, and the losses of the defenders were not large, even a little loss, and compared with the bombing of the ammunition depot at the Japanese railway station, it was also insignificant.
With such a great feat, the 10th Artillery Regiment greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese soldiers in the Fifth Theater, especially for the 31st Division that was stubbornly defending Taierzhuang, which was a huge confidence boost.
This confidence is directly reflected, that is, Lao Qin and Lian Elder Guo thought of one thing at the same time: night attack.
As soon as the artillery battle ended, Lao Guo found Lao Qin and asked, "Lao Qin, do you dare to do a big ticket?" ”
"As long as the company commander dares, I dare." Qin Guogang spoke to Company Commander Guo with understanding.
"Okay, tonight we'll go strike while the iron is hot and make some movement, we can't keep letting the artillerymen show off." Lao Guo saw that several of his subordinates agreed, so he went to Camp Commander Han to talk about it.
Battalion Commander Han is also an addiction to killing devils, and immediately expressed his support, but he was the battalion commander and couldn't go out in person, but he gave the Ninth Company enough grenades and bullets to supplement the blades.
Regiment Commander Huo also prefers proactive defensive tactics, but he has the responsibility to defend the territory, and he does not dare to act rashly, and it is still okay to dispatch half of the company to do things, and at the same time, he also asked his guard company to respond together and make a devil.
Qin Guogang used to be under Niu Gu of the Baohuashan Brigade of the Loyal Salvation Army, and he often went out in the middle of the night, either touching the sentry of devils or digging out the lair of puppet army traitors.
Lao Guo asked Lao Qin to lead the team, and his subordinates divided more than 50 people into three groups, which was to set off to the dilapidated Jinzhuang that had just been bombed, and stab you again while you were in chaos.
At first, Lao Qin thought that going to Jinzhuang would pass through a large area controlled by devils in the middle, and there might be some trouble, so he made a few preparations.
If you are intercepted by the devil and can't beat it, you can withdraw it, even if it is a harassment war; The best thing is not to attract the attention of the devils, pass smoothly, and after arriving at Jinzhuang, just leave if you do a big one, and harass the devils on the way back.
