Chapter 564: Life in Exchange
Most of the devil soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army in the melee thought that the shells fired from the Shijiashan artillery position must have been fired towards the 1st Regiment of the New 2nd Brigade that was pursuing behind them, but where would they have thought that this shell was fired by Liang Zerui, and the target of this shell happened to be the fast-moving Japanese Type 92 armored vehicle.
The shells quickly crossed the air, and the Japanese Type 92 armored car was still moving forward, but soon, the three devil soldiers in the armored car felt pain, and then a huge explosion sounded in their ears, and their consciousness gradually blurred, and then they lost all consciousness.
THIS ARMORED CAR WAS DIRECTLY HIT BY A SHELL, AND THE THICKNESS OF THE ARMOR OF THE TYPE 92 ARMORED CAR WAS ONLY SIX MILLIMETERS, WHICH FOR A 105MM CANNON WAS COMPLETELY TOFU DREGS.
The armored car was smashed flat, as Liang Zerui said, the armored car became a pile of scrap metal, and the three devil soldiers inside couldn't die, bright red blood began to flow out along the gaps in the armored car, and the ground was soon stained red with blood.
The explosion of the artillery shell began to form a shock wave, the dust was flying, and a Type 91 armored car behind this Type 92 armored car was directly overturned, shrapnel flew everywhere, and the armored car with very thin armor thickness could not block the shrapnel at all, and some shrapnel began to pierce into the armored car, although the three armored vehicles were not blown up, but the shrapnel continued to hit, and the three armored vehicles suffered varying degrees of losses.
Even the four tanks moving in front were affected by the explosion of shells.
Silence gradually returned, a huge crater appeared where the shells fell, and a squadron of devil soldiers followed behind the armored unit, at this time more than twenty people fell to the ground and wailed in pain, one of the four armored vehicles was destroyed, and the remaining three were injured in different ways, and only one was able to continue driving.
Momoyo Kunomura, who crossed the Matsukei River, stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his face full of stunned expressions.
The heavy artillery units on Shijia Mountain would actually shell their own armored units, which was something that Kunomura Momoyo never dreamed of.
Kunomura Momoyo knows very well that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery are skilled artillerymen, and they will definitely not shoot by mistake, and now that their troops have encountered artillery bombardment, then there is only one situation, that is, the Chinese troops have captured the heavy artillery position, thinking of this, Kunomura Momoyo frowned tightly.
As if to confirm Kunomura Momoyo's guess, a sharp cannon sound was heard in the sky again, and a cannonball quickly landed in the Songxi River.
The river was blown up, and the Japanese troops who crossed the river suffered heavy losses, and this shell brought more than 30 casualties to the Japanese troops crossing the river.
Kunomura Momoyo was on the bank, and when the cannonball exploded, he was directly pressed down by the guards, but the river that blew up still made him a soup chicken, and Kunomura Momoyo's face turned iron-blue, and he raised his binoculars to look in the direction of Shijiashan.
"Brigade commander, the heavy artillery position has been captured by the Chinese troops, let's evacuate immediately." Chief of Staff Hattori Chiaki said with a solemn face.
"No, immediately contact the aviation unit and let them carry out carpet bombing of Shijiashan, and at the same time order Ikuta Nakasa's artillery detachment to let them shell Shijiashan at all costs!"
Kunomura Momoyo distanced himself from Hattori's evacuation suggestion, and although he was annoyed, Kunomura Momoyo remained calm, knowing that he couldn't evacuate now.
ALTHOUGH THE OTHER PARTY IS FIRING SHELLS, THE OTHER PARTY IS ONLY USING A CANNON TO SHOOT, AND KUNOMURA MOMOYO CAN JUDGE THAT THE OTHER PARTY WILL USE A 105MM CANNON, AND THERE ARE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE, SO HE HAS NO INTENTION OF EVACUATING.
Kunomura Momoyo knew that if he evacuated at this time, the heavy artillery on Shijia Mountain would fall into the hands of the Chinese troops, and once the new second brigade troops had these heavy artillery, then they would be like a tiger with wings, so in this case, Kunomura Momoyo ordered the artillery detachment to immediately shell, and he wanted to destroy the heavy artillery on the mountain.
More than a dozen artillery pieces of Japanese artillery immediately began to be erected, and eight field artillery pieces with a range of more than 10,000 meters began to shell Shijiashan, and shells were constantly fired over.
AS KUNOMURA MOMOYO GUESSED, ALTHOUGH THE CHINESE FORCES HAVE NOW CAPTURED SIX 105MM CANNONS, ONLY LIANG ZERUI CAN SHOOT.
Even though he had a very high skill, he could not shoot at more than a dozen Japanese artillery, and when the Japanese shells came, Liang Zerui immediately stopped firing, and he braved the Japanese shells and quickly began to disassemble the heavy artillery.
A cannon began to be dismantled into several parts, and Huang Guohua immediately ordered the soldiers to transport the parts and evacuate.
At this time, Japanese bombers began to appear in the sky, and four bombers flew over Shijiashan.
After getting the telegram from Kunomura Momoyo again, the four bombers had no worries, and they began to carpet bomb Shijiashan, one after another aerial bombs were constantly poured on Shijiashan, a huge explosion sounded, and Shijiashan was full of flying shrapnel.
The corpses of both China and Japan were blown into piles of minced meat, and the bright red blood formed a rain of blood, and the ground began to be stained red with red blood.
"Hide it, don't worry about these shells, hide it quickly." A squad leader of the guard battalion shouted.
Two fighters carried a box of shells and ran quickly into the trench, but before they could reach the trench, two men were blown to pieces by aerial bombs.
"Come back, what are you doing, don't die." More than a dozen fighters jumped out of the trench in the face of flying shrapnel, and a platoon commander shouted.
"Platoon commander, if our brigade has such heavy artillery, we won't have to suffer losses in the future, we have to keep a heavy artillery no matter what, and exchange our lives for a heavy artillery, it's worth it."
One of the veterans laughed, and he jumped straight out of the trench and ran straight ahead.
Japanese aerial bombs continued to pour down, and Japanese artillery shells hit one after another, and Liang Zerui braved shrapnel to quickly disassemble the heavy artillery.
The shrapnel hit the cannon body, and this piece of shrapnel was bounced back to Liang Zerui, the shrapnel was like a sharp blade, easily cutting through Liang Zerui's body, and blood flowed out of Liang Zerui's body, but he ignored it, but continued to disassemble the heavy artillery.
Liang Zerui knew very well that the Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped, and even the wealthy Jin Sui Army troops did not have such heavy artillery.
As long as one such heavy artillery is kept, the troops will fight in the future, and it will play an unexpected role.
Everyone has the same belief, and this belief is to trade their lives for heavy artillery.
