Chapter 308: Overture to the Artillery Battle (2)
In the sky, a Japanese two-seater reconnaissance plane of the Tachikawa 98 type circled three times in the sky over Dongzhuang and then flew away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the Dongzhuang position, the commander of a battalion of the Yunnan Army hurriedly reported the discovery of the Japanese reconnaissance plane by telephone.
Less than five minutes after the call was made, all the officers and men of a battalion of the Dian Army in the Dongzhuang position ran out of the position with their weapons, but they hid in the poplar forest and wheat fields more than 100 meters away in front of the position.
They had only been hiding for more than ten minutes when a group of small black dots like sparrows appeared in the distant sky, and a group of Japanese bombers came.
Rows of bombshells fell from the sky with a whistling sound, and after landing, rows of smoke columns rose, and with the increase of bombing, the smoke columns spread, and Dongzhuang was completely invisible after being shrouded in smoke and dust.
The bombers flew away, but the shelling began again.
The overwhelming artillery fire came, and the smoke and dust over Dongzhuang, which was already blown up by bombers, became even worse.
The shelling came so violently and for so long.
Within an hour, under the bombardment of no less than 4,000 shells, it was as if a major earthquake had occurred in Dongzhuang, and when the shelling stopped, the topography of this point on the earth was completely changed, and the original buildings were reduced to ruins.
Then before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the Japanese army came, and they came proudly!
The infantry of the two brigades, the cavalry of the cavalry wing, and the cavalry of the cavalry formed a four-way column, and under the guidance of the plaster flag, they came with such a swagger!
The Japanese soldiers in front were fine, carrying guns, but the heavy machine guns were not unloaded on horseback behind them, and they did not send tanks to participate in the battle.
Because their commander did not think that his troops needed to fight, the Chinese soldiers in the village must have been reduced to pieces and pulp under such heavy bombardment, and his soldiers had only come to receive a piece of ruins.
The yellow crowd of people walked through the poplar forests, walked through the already green wheat fields, and the ruins in front of them were about to be exhausted.
They were so arrogant that they didn't know that just over ten minutes ago, there had been two battalions of Chinese soldiers in the poplar forest and wheat fields they had passed.
A hundred meters, fifty meters, the target was already in sight, and they could already hear the beeping sound of the burning houses in the ruins.
However, before the wheat is ripe, the harvest is early!
With a roaring "hit", bullets rained down from the smoke and dust of the ruins, and a dense stream of mortar shells fell from the sky, so that the Japanese army was harvested like unripe wheat.
It was only fifty meters to enter the ruins, and in a normal battle with the Chinese army, this was already the distance at which they would begin to charge and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But what they encountered today was the Dian army, known as the crown of the national army, and the firepower woven like a net had made the Japanese army have no time to counterattack and charge, and the first thing they needed was to save their lives.
A battalion of rifles, light and heavy machine gun grenadiers, mortars, all available, full fire. When had the Japanese army ever encountered such a fierce firepower attack, so the people fell to the ground on their backs.
They found that there was a trench in front of them, which was an anti-tank trench dug by the Yunnan army, so they jumped desperately to avoid the "hurricane" blowing on the flat ground.
Many Japanese soldiers rushed forward desperately, and they definitely didn't die when they jumped, but they definitely died when they jumped in!
Because rows of Yunnan soldiers deftly got out of the rubble and threw rows of grenades, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches could not hide, and they wanted to climb but couldn't climb up, so they finally turned into layers of corpses and piled up in the trenches more than two meters deep.
The invaders have turned peaceful villages into ruins, and the defenders have turned the front of the ruins into a slaughterhouse for the invaders, and the retribution of the present world has come so quickly is amazing!
In this battle, the process of real infantry confrontation ended quickly, nearly 700 Japanese troops were wiped out, and more than 60 light and heavy machine guns, more than 30 command knives, more than 20 mortars, and more than 700 rifles were captured.
This battle was later called the Dongzhuang Annihilation War, yes, it was a war of annihilation, and it was also the most painful battle of the Yunnan army in the Battle of Xuzhou, and the battalion commander of the Yunnan army who commanded the army to ambush was directly promoted to the regiment commander.
Not long after the battle of Dongzhuang ended, all the artillery of the artillery brigade of the Yunnan Army had already moved closer to the front line of Dongzhuang.
The infantry firepower of the Yunnan army undoubtedly gave the arrogant Japanese army the first wave of "surprises", and the artillery was ready to give the second wave of the Japanese army to attack again with another greater "surprise".
Huo Xiaoshan Shen Chong and more than 20 soldiers from the quartermaster department were with Zheng Youjian at this time, because an artillery truck was stuck in the middle of the road, and they were here to help push the cart.
All of them saw the smoke and dust rising over Dongzhuang halfway through, and their hearts were itching, not knowing how the war was going there.
At this moment, Qiao Anbang, commander of the artillery brigade of the Yunnan Army, walked towards a group of them with a happy face after sending away a signal corpsman.
Huo Xiaoshan and the others knew that there must be news from the front of Dongzhuang, so they hurriedly stepped forward.
"Dongzhuang has won a big battle!" Qiao Anbang said to Huo Xiaoshan with a smile.
Huo Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, and the eyes of everyone behind him who heard this sentence lit up, but they didn't speak, they were waiting for Qiao Anbang's good news.
"700 enemies were annihilated, and our army's casualties were less than 50!" Joan Bang said loudly.
With a "coax", the crowd boiled, and the soldiers of both the quartermaster department and the Dian army cheered.
In the distance, the soldiers of the Yunnan army who did not hear clearly saw that there was such a big commotion here, and hurriedly asked what was going on.
So like a track and field relay race, a word was passed from one end to the other end of the artillery array.
"700 enemies were annihilated, and our army's casualties were less than 50!"
As a result, the cheers continued more and more.
Shen Chong and the soldiers of the quartermaster department looked enviously at the soldiers of the Dian Army who were still cheering, but they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
When did our quartermaster become a bystander? Every time, we let others cheer for us!
"I regret coming to defend the artillery, but I still have fun fighting at the front!" Shen Chong finally couldn't help but say, he didn't care that Qiao Anbang, the brigade commander of the Yunnan Army, was in front of him.
At the beginning of Shen Chong, the soldiers behind him began to echo.
It's just that just a few people spoke a little louder, Huo Xiaoshan had already turned his head, his eyes swept away, and everyone's mouths were closed, including Shen Chong.
Qiao Anbang undoubtedly noticed this scene, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
This logistics company is really different, and its belligerent enthusiasm is no less than that of its own Dian army.
After this battle, I have to chat with that Zheng fat man to see what the situation of this logistics company is, as if it has never lost a battle.
"Brigade Commander Qiao, I saw that the Japanese army's firepower was very fierce on the way, how did our people dodge?" Zheng Youjian asked curiously.
They are all veterans, and they can see smoke and dust covering the sky dozens of miles away, so they can naturally imagine the fierceness of the Japanese army's firepower.
"It was an ambush before the devil's shelling, and our people hid from Zhuangzi before the shelling, and after the shelling, they fought an ambush." Jo Anbang explained.
"Oh." The people from the quartermaster department nodded in unison, but they all looked at Huo Xiaoshan, and the meaning in those eyes Huo Xiaoshan naturally understood, that is to say, it is not only you Huo Xiaoshan who is smart.
Because Huo Xiaoshan also used such a tactic, the results were not inferior to the Dian army, and he eliminated a squadron of the attacking Japanese army.
"Okay, don't envy others, hehe, this time it's your turn to envy me Zheng Fat!" When Zheng Youjian spoke to Qiao Anbang, he was a studious and modest fat man, and when he spoke to the people in the quartermaster's department, he turned back into the arrogant and underwhelming dead fat man.
Shen Chong looked at Zheng Youjian's nervousness, then at Huo Xiaoshan, who was calm, and at Qiao Anbang, who was watching from the side, but turned around and left without saying a word.
"Shen Chong, Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi Suo stay, the rest of the people return to their positions, the artillery battle is about to begin, we can't be a little negligent as a guard and guard." Huo Xiaoshan said.
"Oh." The soldiers of the quartermaster said that they knew, so those who should have stayed and those who had left were gone.
Joan Bang found the team more and more interesting.
Because in all the troops, the commander gives the order, and all the soldiers have to say "Yes!" But why is there such a chatter between the officers and the soldiers in this team?
He didn't know that the people in the quartermaster department were already used to this model, Huo Xiaoshan said a word, and the following was "oh", and the implementation was never slack, because no one wanted to make the boss angry.
At this time, Zheng Youjian was still shining at Shen Chong and said: "Small, usually you Shen Crazy beat devils and I look at it, this time I fight devils, you have to defend me, angry with you, who am I Zheng Fat?" I, Zheng Fatzi, is the first in the fifth war zone, no, the second divine artillery Zheng Youjian! ā
Shen Chongchong rolled his eyes at Zheng Youjian, and then looked at Qiao Anbang in front of Zheng Youjian, still silent.
And Zheng Youjian, who said this, was afraid that he would really annoy Shen Chong, but he hurriedly hid behind Qiao Anbang, and since he met Qiao Anbang of the Dian Army, he has automatically demoted himself to the second divine cannon.
At this time, Huo Xiaoshan took two steps forward, bypassing Qiao Anbang and whispered to Zheng Youjian, who was still thinking about it: "I'll say something for Shen Chong, 'Dead fatty, take it when you see it, be careful that I smoke you!'" āā
Then, Zheng Youjian's mouth was closed.
