Chapter 18: Combination of Air Rifle Cannons
4.18 Air Foot Cannon combined
On the morning of August 14, the 99th Division entered the attack position according to General Zhang's request, and Division Commander Huang couldn't help but shake his head as he watched the group army headquarters reach the division headquarters for the attack plan......
Chief of Staff Fan Jiefan walked to Huang Haoran's side, he wanted to see what kind of order the General Assembly had issued to the 99th Division, and he actually made his division master make such a disappointed expression. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huang Haoran handed the attack plan in his hand to Fan Jie, and he walked to the phone table by himself and thought about it with a frown.
Feng. Rich looked at the two bigwigs of the 99th Division, and was also curious about what kind of plan this was!
Fan Jie hurriedly swept the words on the paper with a few glances, but now he was also a little dazed!
The plan was to bomb the headquarters of the enemy Marine Corps at around 11 a.m. on August 14. At the same time, it was necessary to launch an attack on the enemy's 3rd Fleet off the coast of Wusongkou, but the army's attacking force did not launch an attack until the afternoon, and at 16 o'clock, two artillery regiments and howitzer battalions carried out artillery bombardment, and then the whole army attacked.
The originally good air-ground coordinated operation has been cut into this appearance!
When the Air Force bombed the Japanese army, what was the Army waiting for?
And in the time of the bombing of the Air Force, a "left and right" was actually added!
It is estimated that the general side of the collection could not grasp the time of the air force attack very well, so the words left and right were added after 11 o'clock!
This solves the problem of words, but what should you do with us, the troops who have received orders?
Ten minutes earlier, the bombs of your own air force may fall on your head!
How embarrassing are you to the officers and soldiers of the troops!
Feng. Ritch, the German, expressed strong opposition after learning about the content of the plan!
He thinks it's stupid garbage!
He couldn't believe that the command system at the level of the Chinese group army would make such a plan full of mistakes and omissions!
Huang Haoran ignored the angry Feng. Richie, he directly picked up the phone to call General Zhang's headquarters!
On the phone, Huang Haoran was almost arguing with General Zhang!
General Zhang has no way to deal with Huang Haoran's thorn now!
Who can let the 99th division of the family fight!
In fact, General Zhang also has his unspeakable secrets, the offensive that is about to start this morning is the first air-ground coordinated operation in the history of the Chinese army, and it is inevitable that there will be some disconnection when it is carried out, and in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of accidentally injuring his own army on the battlefield, the general assembly has to postpone the army's attack time again and again!
Moreover, in addition to Huang Haoran's 99th Division, although the morale of Yu's troops was also very strong, after all, the actual preparations were still a little hasty.
The troops lacked anti-aircraft guns and weapons for attacking fortifications, and it took time to replenish supplies and ordnance!
Huang Haoran thinks that these are not excuses for making wrong plans! Since it was too late to prepare, why not let the Air Force bomb again in the afternoon? Was the morning bombing just a show?
General Zhang was speechless in the face of Huang Haoran's sharp question!
He doesn't blame Huang Haoran, the young man is eager to kill the enemy, and he is a new victory, so he naturally doesn't take his words lightly.
General Zhang really couldn't tell Division Commander Huang that the air force was directly controlled by the highest authorities, and the time of the bombing was not something that he, the commander of the group army, could decide!
The highest authorities want to show their muscles to the foreigners in Shanghai this morning, and the decision of the Air Force to attack in the morning is irreversible!
The result of Huang Haoran's quarrel was that the 99th Division received permission from General Zhang to follow the bombardment of the Air Force and take the lead, and the positions behind it were taken over by the 88th Division.
The 8th Artillery Regiment will cooperate with the artillery of the 99th Division to clear the way forward, but the attack of the 87th and 88th Divisions is still 4 p.m.!
That is, during the day on August 14, Huang Haoran and his 99th Division had to fight alone!
Division Commander Huang knew that General Zhang had already treated him with extra favor, so he thanked him and hung up the phone.
At 7 a.m. on August 14, the 99th Division began to distribute ammunition, and the artillery began to enter the preset positions.
At 10:50, the Chinese Air Force, which participated in the war for the first time, bombed the headquarters of the enemy marines under the cover of 3 fighters; At 10:55, five bombers bombed the Japanese warship at Wusongkou, and at 11:22, three bombers bombed the cruiser Izumo, the flagship of the 3rd Fleet, again, and the ship was heavily damaged.
While the 3rd Fleet of the Japanese Navy was maneuvering on the sea to avoid the bombardment of the Chinese Air Force, the artillery and artillery regiments of the 99th Division began to fire a salvo!
From 10:55 to 11:15, for a full twenty minutes, shell shells piled up on the mountain artillery positions of the 99th Division Artillery Regiment!
There were no devils' planes in the sky, and there were no Japanese naval artillery shells around, and the subordinates of "Shi Cannon" began a wonderful show!
The forwards of the 301st Brigade and the 302nd Brigade were the 533rd Regiment and the 535th Regiment respectively, and the avant-garde troops advanced with the artillery fire.
Demolition teams of three jumped out of the trenches with ZHA kits in their hands, and slowly approached the Japanese lines under the cover of mortars and machine guns.
The Japanese knew that if these Chinese soldiers with dangerous goods approached their positions, they would face annihilation.
Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns fired frantically at the moving Chinese soldiers, bullets shooting on the ground and sparks flying everywhere.
The 1st Battalion of the 533rd Regiment, which was the main attacker, hurriedly organized special shooters to snipe at the Japanese machine gunners, and with the crisp sound of Mauser rifle fire falling one after another, the Japanese machine gun fire was obviously affected.
Taking advantage of the temporary confusion of the Japanese army, a Chinese soldier stuffed the burning ZHA medicine bag into the Japanese bunker, and the Japanese soldiers in the bunker desperately tried to push the ZHA medicine bag out, but were forcefully resisted by the Chinese soldiers outside.
War has returned to the Stone Age in this small place, and it has become a wrestling!
The Japanese efforts could not keep up with the speed of the fuse, and the violent explosion overturned the Japanese fortifications, the cement and steel bars flew in the sky, and the brave Chinese soldier disappeared into the smoke.
Huang Haoran's eyes were hot, and tears flowed down.
If the Chinese army can coordinate well, if the artillery of the group army can be put into battle at the first time, why do the soldiers of the 99th Division need to exchange their lives for the Japanese fortifications?
When the officers and men of the 99th Division used their lives to blast, the total number of 150 howitzers was still lying on the position basking in the sun!
It's a travesty!
Huang Haoran wants to scold!
As the Japanese bunkers were blasted one by one, the officers and men of the 535th and 533rd regiments began to storm again!
The 99th Division took advantage of the short-term local firepower advantage, and the momentum of the attack was fierce!
"99th Division! Get on the bayonet! ......”
Yang Kun, the commander of the first battalion of the 535th Regiment, shouted with the loudest voice he could make, and the sound of clicking and clicking in the trench came and went, it was the sound of bayonets and guns colliding! The voice spread farther and farther......
After a short lull, a loud trumpet sounded!
The next thing that jumped out of the trench was a frenzy!
Bayonets like snow! Reflecting a dazzling light!
Bayonets like a mountain! The soldier with the rifle is firm!
Forward! Forward!
"99th Division! Get on the bayonet! ......”
