7.99 Rain curtains of steel

"The immortal board of the little devil! I don't know what it's like tonight! Everywhere is guarded! Company Commander Luo! I'll say the ugly things in front of me, it's easy to lean on the top, but I may not be able to get it back....."

Liu Yutian, the commander of the reconnaissance company, was a native of Sichuan and had been in the Sichuan army for many years. Although Liu Yutian has mastered many local dialects and official dialects www.biquge.info his years as a scout, as long as he is in a hurry, he will still come up with a few words of Sichuan. Luo Laoqi has not been in the 187th Division for a long time, and he is not very able to understand the Sichuan dialect, but fortunately, the few words of Sichuan that Liu Yutian said in front of him tonight are relatively easy to understand, and Luo Laoqi finally understood it by relying on his understanding.

"I said Lao Liu, can you not speak your hometown dialect in front of me? Our mission tonight is dangerous, and just staring at the Japanese is enough for me! What if I hear what you say again? I said you have to pay attention! ”

Although Company Commander Luo's opinion was very pertinent, Liu Yutian, a Sichuan guy, still turned his head and whispered: "Bending sour"! Although Company Commander Luo didn't know what the word "bent acid" meant, from Liu Yutian's behavior of talking behind his back, Company Commander Luo estimated that this was not a good word.

Luo Laoqi, who was squatting on the tree, stretched out his hand and patted Company Commander Liu who was squatting on the branch next to him, and then said with a smile: "I don't care what you say, anyway, you have to do what I say!" It's not too early! Let's go! ”

After saying this, Luo Laoqi put away the telescope in front of him and the BC scope with a scale net and carefully handed them to the other members of the artillery observation squad standing under the tree. Then he hugged the trunk of the tree and slipped to the ground, and Company Commander Liu, who was squatting on the tree, looked at Luo Laoqi's back and pouted, muttering in a low voice: "You are still not convinced that you are picky?" The little devil is heavily guarded, just to guard against us! The death of the people in my reconnaissance company and the division seat is at most distressed, if you artillery observers die in front of the devil's position, then the regiment seat and the division seat will not have to pull out my skin? ”

After standing firm, Company Commander Luo checked his precious equipment for the first time, and when he confirmed that the equipment was intact, he stood up and waved towards the tree, Company Commander Liu smiled at Luo Laoqi a little depressedly, and then the appearance of Company Commander Luo also slid down.

As soon as Company Commander Liu landed, the scouts under him all gathered. These Sichuan scouts knew very well in their hearts that the commander of the artillery observation squad and their company commander Liu Yutian had landed one after another, which meant that they had not yet obtained what the artillery needed in the trees, and they would soon have a new operation.

"Lao Qian, Lao Sun, you hurry up and prepare, let's set off in five minutes, you two classes are at the front! Remember, keep the artillery observers safe! If something happens to them, we'll be in vain! ”

"Yes!"

Lao Qian and Lao Sun are the two squad leaders under Liu Yutian, and this time Liu Yutian's reconnaissance company can be said to be elite. Company Commander Liu personally selected 30 people from among the officers and men of the whole company and organized them into three reconnaissance squads to protect the artillery observation squad led by Company Commander Luo. This unit, which was composed of a combination of scouts and artillery observers, was designated by the 187th Division headquarters as the Forward Observation Detachment.

Liu Yutian himself was a little dissatisfied with Shangfeng giving them the name of this team. In Company Commander Liu's view, the ratio of the number of scouts to artillery observers in this squad is 4:1, and his scouts are the main body of this small unit! It should definitely be called a reconnaissance squad! Company Commander Liu felt that the regimental and division seats were favoring these artillery observers!

As a soldier, Liu Yutian naturally did not dare to disobey Shangfeng's orders, but he also had a method he used to express his dissatisfaction.

Isn't the command of the reconnaissance connection to absolutely guarantee the safety of these artillery observers? Liu Yutian simply became Luo Laoqi's bodyguard wholeheartedly, and the four scouts looked at an artillery observer, which could completely block the front, back, left and right of the artillery observer! This time, the regimental headquarters and the division headquarters should not be able to find fault, right?

Liu Yutian was thinking about it, and Luo Laoqi suddenly leaned up:

"Company Commander Liu, when do you think our artillery observation squad will leave?"

"Oh...! You guys! Get behind the two scouting squads! I'll take a class to you after the break! ”

Luo Laoqi nodded, and then waved at his soldiers, and the personnel of the artillery observation squad immediately dispersed to carry equipment and radios, and in less than a minute, the entire artillery observation squad was ready to advance.

"Yes! Company Commander Luo! If I hadn't known in advance that you were a strong man who was brought here temporarily, I would have thought that you were transferred from the artillery regiment! I see that these subordinates of yours are very capable! ”

Company Commander Luo smiled and said to Liu Yutian: "That is, I have learned a little bit of skin, and it is okay to bluff people, compared to the professional artillery observers of the artillery regiment, we are far behind!" ”

Although Luo Laoqi is speaking modestly, he is actually showing off naked in his bones! Liu Yutian felt that the people who came out of the 99th Division were not good at this, and they were coaxed all day long! If Luo Laoqi's subordinates had only learned a little bit, wouldn't the scouts under Liu Yutian not even enter the door? You must know that these people brought by Luo Laoqi to the 187th Division were infantry commanders, but Liu Yutian's subordinates were scouts who had been working for many years! How can it be said that it can have something to do with the errand of the artillery observer! Now that half of the experts have completely lost to the layman, Liu Yutian feels that his old face is about to run out of place!

Looking at Liu Yutian, who was panting with a red face and a mouth, Luo Laoqi felt so unhappy. These officers and men who came out of Huang Haoran's basic unit, the 99th Division, inevitably carried some of the arrogance of ace troops. Although Fan Jie, chief of staff of the group army, had specially held meetings and lectured them to pay attention to their attitude when they got along with the officers and men of the fraternal units before transferring them to various units to serve as officers, Luo Laoqi and the others were still unwilling to restrain their individuality.

What's wrong with cowhide coaxing? If you have the ability, you are also a cow!

The arrogance of the officers and men of the 99th Division was piled up with the flesh and blood of devils! You have to have that weight if you want to learn!

Since leaving the grove, Liu Yutian has kept his head down and kept silent, he was stimulated by Luo Laoqi's words! These Sichuan officers and soldiers who took refuge in Huang Haoran are not quite the same as the officers and soldiers of the 1st Army brought by He Daru to the 25th Group Army, and they still have some resistance to the Central Army in their hearts.

After advancing for more than ten minutes, Liu Yutian felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to keep silent, although Luo Laoqi and his subordinates could serve as high-level tasks such as artillery observers, but they were far inferior to Company Commander Liu and his scouts in terms of getting close to the devils to conduct reconnaissance, Liu Yutian thought that he should still be responsible for what he should be responsible for.

Anyway, now they are also members of the 25th Group Army, and those who eat in a pot are their own people, aren't they?

"Company Commander Luo, we have to have a goal, right? Walking around like this in the middle of the night is not a thing after all! I think we'd better discuss it first and then move on......"

In fact, Luo Laoqi has long had such an idea in his heart, don't look at the unique skills of these part-time artillery observers under him, but if they want to leave the scouts, they will not be able to complete the task.

"yes, it's best to discuss! Company Commander Liu, I took a look at the terrain near the devil's position when I was in the tree just now, and the small dirt bag in the north is more suitable! There I can observe the whole picture of the Japanese positions, especially the two places that I suspect may be the positions of the devil's artillery, and I can also see it very clearly! ”

Liu Yutian glanced in the direction Luo Laoqi said, Luo Laoqi was afraid that Liu Yutian would not be able to see clearly, so he took off the telescope he hung around his neck and handed it to Liu Yutian. With the help of the telescope handed over by Luo Laoqi, Liu Yutian took a look at the small dirt bag that Luo Laoqi said. Not to mention, the location of this bun is really good! Just like Luo Laoqi is huge, standing on it, you can basically see the position of the Japanese army, but in such a place, don't the devils send troops to guard it?

The attack on the headquarters of the 63rd Wing had already made the Japanese troops in front of Taierzhuang highly nervous. Tonight, even some of the dead corners that were easy for Chinese scouts to infiltrate before were tightly sealed by devils! Liu Yutian did not think that the Japanese army would make such a big mistake and did not garrison troops on the small earthen bag to the south.

"The observation point is a good choice! But I'm afraid that if we really touch it, maybe there will be a large number of devils waiting for us on it! There is no military flag on that small dirt bag and no searchlight, how can it look like a trap! If the people are gone, no matter how good the position is, it will be in vain! Company Commander Luo, I think you should choose another place! ”

"Company Commander Liu, you're right, our first task is to save ourselves, and the artillery on the south bank is still waiting for our firing parameters! We still headed north, but we nested near that little dirt bag, and it seemed that the view of that area was better, and the other locations were not as good as there. It's just that the brethren of the trouble reconnaissance company are working harder! As soon as the cannon goes off, we, the artillery observers, are the primary search targets of the devil soldiers, and if there is really a devil's trap on that small dirt bag, then there will inevitably be a fierce battle! ”

Facing Luo Laoqi's worries, Liu Yutian said his thoughts: "Company Commander Luo, you seem to have forgotten that we scouts are here to protect you, and you don't have to worry about fighting with devils, you just need to be the eyes of the cannon!" ”

Liu Yutian's words made Luo Laoqi a little moved, it was the first time he had seen such a tough performance of Sichuan soldiers, and now Company Commander Luo's impression of these Sichuan soldiers who had not been joining the 25th Group Army for a long time had greatly changed.

"Lao Liu! It's all up to you! ”

From Company Commander Liu to Lao Liu, the change of this title means a lot......

***************************************************

Liu Jiahu, the commander of the 10th Field Artillery Wing, Haruji Taniguchi, was inspecting the artillery positions on the artillery position, and behind him were the officers of the 10th Field Artillery Wing Wing Headquarters. After the attack of the Seya detachment was frustrated, the commander of the division of Ryosuke Isoya transferred an artillery group and two artillery squadrons belonging to the 10th Field Artillery Wing that were held in the second line to the periphery of Taierzhuang.

Today, the fully equipped 10th Field Artillery Wing has a total of three artillery groups, two of which are equipped with 12 75 mm mountain guns, and the other is equipped with 12 105 mm howitzers.

According to the operational sequence of the Japanese army in North China, the 10th Field Artillery Wing of Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi was temporarily placed under the control of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. In fact, in addition to the 10th Field Artillery Wing, the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade that accompanied the Seya Detachment all the way actually had only one Field Artillery Wing and several small-scale artillery units that lacked an artillery brigade. In other words, the combat strength of the 10th Field Artillery Wing has occupied half of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery!

Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi knew very well in his heart that his 10th Field Artillery Wing would have to return to the Isoya Division sooner or later, so he was very eager to make a war exploit! In fact, it was only yesterday evening that all the members of the 10th Field Artillery Wing drove to the Liujiahu position, but this group of militants, under the leadership of Taniguchi Haruji Nakasa, completed the construction of the Liujiahu artillery position in only three hours, and then carried out the task of shelling Taierzhuang. For this reason, the detachment commander, Major General Seya Kei, also made a special call to express his condolences to the 10th Field Artillery Wing, and felt that he had been valued by Major General Seya Kai Haruji Nakasa, who was now like a chicken blood, and every moment he longed for his artillerymen to expand the results of the battle!

According to the plan of Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi, the artillery group of the 10th Field Artillery Wing could shoot until dawn! In this way, the infantry units of the Seya detachment could drive directly to Taierzhuang, which was full of rubble, to receive the positions of the Chinese troops!

With the cooperation of the Air Force, Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi is steadily advancing towards his intended goal. But just an hour ago, the 10th Field Artillery Wing suddenly received an order to stop shelling! The plan of the captain of Haruji Taniguchi was thwarted in this way!

Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi suddenly stopped when he walked up to a 105 howitzer, and the Japanese artillerymen on the gun emplacement, seeing that their wing commander had arrived in person, stood up one after another.

At this time, the captain of Taniguchi Haruji suddenly spoke: "Gentlemen! Don't you see that this is a ruse by the guys of the 2nd Field Artillery Wing? They are eyeing the exploits of the 10th Wing of our field artillery! Hirata Shaosa! I'd like to hear what you think! ”

As an officer named by Captain Taniguchi Haruji, Hirata Shaosa had no way to escape, and he could only condemn the 2nd Field Artillery Wing according to the meaning of Captain Taniguchi Haruji.

"Your Excellency Wing Commander is right! Yesterday, during the day, the 2nd Field Artillery Wing sent a 15-centimeter heavy artillery unit to assist the 63rd Infantry Wing, and it took half a day to blow up a section of the city wall in Taierzhuang. Tonight, our 10th Wing of Field Artillery, under the leadership of the Wing Commander, almost wiped Taierzhuang off the map, and in comparison, it has already won too much of the 2nd Wing of Field Artillery! Seeing that his basic troops were defeated, of course His Excellency the brigade commander couldn't sit still! It's all because we're doing a great job! The 2nd Wing of the Field Artillery, regardless of the great cause of the Empire, stabbed in the back, it is really despicable! “

As soon as Hirata's words fell, the officers of the 10th Field Artillery Wing standing next to him immediately joined in. Looking at these indignant subordinates, Captain Haruji Taniguchi felt that his mood was slightly better.

"Yamato's ambition is unstoppable! Ladies and gentlemen! I have already sent a telegram to the commander of the Isogu Division, requesting that the shelling of Taierzhuang continue! I believe that His Excellency the Division Commander sent the howitzer brigade to the front line, not so that we could see the scenery here! The responsibility of the artillery is to blow up Taierzhuang into a sea of fire! Pave the way for infantry! What do you say? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Wing Captain Wise! ”

None of the devil officers standing opposite Captain Taniguchi Haruji would be stupid enough to upset Captain Taniguchi. Carrying out the artillery mission of Taierzhuang, the 10th Wing of Field Artillery can be said to have no pressure! Throughout the first half of the night, the sky was filled with shells fired by Japanese artillery, and under the vigorous cover of the army aviation, the Chinese artillery in the 5 theater did not even show a single face. And according to the intelligence collected by the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army, the Chinese army still has a few cannons in their hands! In particular, the batch of 150 heavy guns that the Seya detachment lost in Liangxiadian is a thorn in the side of the Japanese artillery now!

At this time, a Japanese second lieutenant ran from the wing headquarters, holding two telegrams in his hand, walked quickly in front of Wing Captain Taniguchi Haruji, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander! Latest Order! ”

"Mixi!" Captain Taniguchi Haruji heard the Japanese second lieutenant say that the new order had arrived, and his face showed a happy expression, in the eyes of the Japanese captain Haruji, the Japanese second lieutenant should have a call back from the head of the Isoya Ryosuke Division, and the joint captain Taniguchi Haruji couldn't think of any reason for the commander of the Isoya Ryosuke Division to refuse to let the 10th Field Artillery Wing continue to shell Taierzhuang!

The content of the telegram should be obvious!

"Read it out! My second lieutenant! The officers need to hear the uplifting news! ”

Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi looked confident when he gave the order, and his relaxed attitude also infected the other Japanese officers of the 10th Field Artillery Wing, and everyone turned their expectant eyes on the Japanese second lieutenant holding a newspaper.

Under the gaze of so many commanders, the Japanese second lieutenant looked a little nervous, and he was surprised by the decision of the joint captain of Haruji Taniguchi. The Japanese second lieutenant reached out and pulled the collar of his shirt, and then asked in a puzzled tone, "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, which one to read first?" ”

This time it's the turn of the captain of Haruji Taniguchi to be surprised, which one to read first? That is, there is more than one telegram coming! Could it be that the division headquarters and the 1st brigade and regimental headquarters of the field heavy artillery sent the latest orders at the same time?

"Hurry! Take it! I'm going to see what's going on! ”

Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi did not know what the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery would say in the telegram. In order to prevent this telegram from hurting his reputation as the captain of Taniguchi Haruji, the captain of Taniguchi Haruji decided that he should take a look at it first and then decide whether to announce it or not.

The Japanese second lieutenant, who was a little panicked, handed the telegram in his hand to Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi in two parts, and at the same time added a note: "This is a telegram from the brigade headquarters, this is a telegram from the division headquarters, and the two copies ......were received almost at the same time."

Captain Haruji Taniguchi waved his finger at the Japanese second lieutenant and signaled the Japanese second lieutenant to stop talking. Wing Captain Haruharu Taniguchi decided to read the telegram sent by the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery first, and then read the telegram sent to him by Zhang of the Isoya Division.

Captain Taniguchi Haruji did this to tell his officers that the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery was just a passerby, and the commander of the Isoya Ryosuke Division was their commander, no matter how the Brigade Headquarters of the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade would make it difficult for him to Captain Taniguchi Haruji, as long as the commander of the Isoya Ryosuke Division supported him, what was there to care about?

Therefore, Captain Haruji Taniguchi came to see this telegram from the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery with a playful mood.

"In order to annihilate the artillery units of the Chinese army in Taierzhuang and destroy the 150 heavy artillery pieces owned by the Chinese army, the brigade headquarters specially made the following battle plan......

What Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi didn't expect was that he actually received an operational order against the Chinese artillery. Although the telegram was written to destroy the 150 heavy artillery "owned" by the Shina army, Wing Commander Taniguchi saw at a glance that the intended goal of this operation was to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery that the Seya detachment had stolen by the Chinese army. It seems that eighty percent of the news reached the headquarters of the North China Front, so the artillery commander couldn't sit still!

Immediately after that, Captain Taniguchi Haruji read the telegram sent to him by the commander of the Ryosuke Isoya Division, and found that the content of this telegram was similar to the telegram sent to him by the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, and it seemed that the 10th Division was also under pressure from the top of the North China Front because of the loss of artillery.

In any case, Captain Haruji Taniguchi still had to listen to Ryosuke Isoya's words, so after reading the two telegrams, Captain Haruji Taniguchi understood and ordered all units of the 10th Field Artillery Wing to begin carrying out the latest orders.

The 10th Wing of the Field Artillery Corps suddenly became busy on the artillery position in Liujiahu, and the artillery tractors and packers pulled the guns one after another and left the gun emplacement, and the devil artillery in the Taierzhuang area began their big move!

***************************************************

"Another one! Hey! It's going to be a lively night! The cars of the Japanese army are simply endless! Lao Liu, guess what, what are these Oriental devils busy with? ”

Luo Laoqi was lying on the position he had just chosen, using binoculars and a BC sight with a scale net to observe the Japanese position in Liujiahu. Coincidentally, almost at the same time that the scouts escorted Luo Laoqi and his artillery observation squad to this dangerous area, the 10th Field Artillery Wing on the Liujiahu position began their transfer operation. The transfer of the artillery wing with 36 large-caliber guns is not something that will end in a while, looking at the traffic in the telescope, Luo Laoqi's heart is simply happy!

This luck is not covered! Due to the excellent camouflage measures in the artillery position of the 10th Field Artillery Wing, Luo Laoqi had not found the 10th Field Artillery Wing before. Now, as soon as the devil artillery is transferred, the entire artillery position is completely exposed under Luo Laoqi's nose! After observing for a while, Luo Laoqi made a judgment, the Japanese artillery position he found was at least at the wing level!

"Lao Luo! Don't hurry up and send the report! Isn't it a pity to miss such a good goal!? ”

Compared with Luo Laoqi's calmness, Liu Yutian is a little impatient! It was by no means an easy task to escort the artillery observation squad to such a position close to the Japanese position, they were almost discovered by devils several times on the way, plus Liu Yutian said that the worst was the worst, there were really devils on the small dirt bag next to them, it can be said that the squad is now in an extremely dangerous situation!

Looking at the appearance of Luo Lao Qi's old gods, Liu Yutian felt that he couldn't understand it!

"Lao Liu! This is the last trembling, I can't wait! If the data goes wrong, isn't it all in vain? You see that the artillery of the little devil is all loaded, that is, there is no protection of the bunker, as long as you calm down and measure the data, the artillery on the south bank will definitely be accurate, and the cannons called devils will be turned into scrap metal! ”

Luo Laoqi was writing and drawing on paper while doing ideological work for Liu Yutian, and Liu Yutian couldn't help these Dongdi that he was tinkering with, so he could only do it in a hurry on the side:

"That's it! Don't set up a dragon gate formation with me! Hurry up! ”

Luo Laoqi turned his head and smiled at Liu Yutian, then turned around and continued to calculate the position of the target. The calculation method used by Luo Laoqi was to calculate the positional parameters of the target from the coordinates, distance and azimuth of the known position, as well as his distance and direction from the target, which he learned from German consultants.

"Radio! Come here! Let's try it first! ”

After getting the first set of data, Luo Laoqi decided to command the artillery to carry out the test firing, he reached out and found the brother who was carrying the radio on his back, and when the radio soldier was fiddling with the radio, Luo Laoqi lowered his head and continued to check the calculation.

"Why do you have to try!" Hearing Luo Laoqi say it so lightly, it was like child's play, Liu Yutian felt that his fire was a little big! After trying to endure and failing, Liu Yutian opened his mouth to remind Luo Laoqi: "Lao Luo! This cannon devil has reacted! Don't you understand the truth of scaring snakes? ”

"I know the truth! But if you want to hit the first direct hit, I don't have that ability! ”

Luo Laoqi knew that Liu Yutian was an amateur in guiding artillery fire, so he did not seriously answer Liu Yutian's question. Liu Yutian was about to ask, but at this time, the radio soldier suddenly opened his mouth and told Luo Laoqi that he had contacted the artillery regiment in the rear.

"Excellent! Tell the artillery regiment that we found the artillery wing of the Japanese army in Liujiahu and are now being transferred! I guess the devil did this because he was afraid of retaliation from our artillery, and this is a good opportunity to ask the artillery unit to open fire immediately! ”

The radio soldier's method of sending the report was very skillful, and in less than a while, he turned Luo Laoqi's words into a code and slapped them on both sides, and Shi Jincai, who was on the south bank of the canal, finally waited for the first valuable target of the artillery regiment tonight.

As soon as he came up, he grabbed the artillery wing of the Japanese army, which made Shi Jincai very surprised, he picked up a measuring stick and calculated the distance between Liujiahu and the artillery position of the artillery regiment, and found that only a few 150 heavy guns that had just been captured could reach the target. Since the target was the artillery wing of the Japanese army, it was worth a try.

"Ask which artillery observer found the devil's artillery position, the commander has explained before, the use of howitzers must be cautious, good steel must be used on the blade! We can't let a two-knife artillery observer consume our precious inventory of shells! ”

Liujiahu, artillery advance observation post.

Luo Laoqi's identity from the 99th Division was quickly recognized by Shi Jincai, and after getting the signal from the artillery regiment to request guidance for shooting, Luo Laoqi issued his first command:

"The 1st Observation Squad of the 187th Division, Shelling Mission! Secret position 0400, coordinates 234-146, distance +1500, Japanese artillery units in motion, request fire coverage, first round of test firing! Corrections will be made! ”

****************************************************

Due to his "outstanding performance" in the 2nd Field Artillery Wing, Hirata received the honor of sitting in the cab of the same truck as Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi.

The entire 10th Field Artillery Wing had already moved into action, moving towards the new artillery position, looking out the window at the dark night, Hirata Shaosa couldn't help but ask Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi what kind of battle plan he wanted to know what kind of battle plan the division commander and the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade had drawn up.

"Your Excellency, what the hell are we going to do here? Is there anything more important than the shelling of Taierzhuang? The new artillery positions are positioned too far forward, this is a waste of artillery range!! I don't think it's really necessary to put us in such a dangerous situation! Unless the new target is on the south bank of the canal! ”

Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi looked at Hirata Shaoza with appreciation in his eyes, and he was able to guess from the limited information that the advance of the 10th Field Artillery Wing was related to the south bank of the canal, which was already a remarkable mind! What is lacking in the Japanese army is a guy with brains! Hirata Shaosa did not live up to the favor of the captain of Haruji Taniguchi!

"Hirata Shaosa! You smart fellow! Sometimes I want to cut off your head and see how it's different from everyone else! You guessed it! Our goal is to be on the south bank of the canal! And they're big guys we're familiar with! ”

Since Hirata Shaosa could guess that the advance of the 10th Field Artillery Wing was related to the south bank of the canal, he really didn't understand the reason why Wing Commander Taniguchi Haruji said this. But despite this, Hirata Shaoza still looked a little surprised!

"Is it for those 150 howitzers? Could it be that the Chinese have mastered the use of these cannons? You must know that there is a big difference between howitzers and mountain guns! I think I know that the Chinese army only has a total of dozens of howitzers, and they should not have many talents in this area! ”

Hirata's reaction did not surprise Wing Commander Haruharu Taniguchi, and within the Japanese army, the officers looked down on their opponents, the Chinese army, had become a contagious disease that had reached the point of flooding. Hirata was just one of those patients.

"Hirata Shaosa, you shouldn't underestimate your opponent! The Chinese people are a people with excellent cultural traditions, and when we are not aware of it, there will always be some smart guys popping up! There is a price to be paid for being overly arrogant! ”

Captain Taniguchi's bitter heart was exchanged for a "Hai" from Hirata Shaosa, but Captain Taniguchi Haruji still noticed a trace of disdain in the corners of Hirata's eyes, but Captain Taniguchi Haruji didn't know if this disdain was Chinese or to himself......

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, our artillery caliber is relatively small, and if we fight with 150 howitzers, I'm afraid we will suffer! Can the tactics of His Excellency the Division Commander compensate for this? ”

After a while, Hirata once again raised his question. This time, it's a real technical problem.

The 75 mm caliber mountain artillery and the 105 mm caliber howitzer against the 150 howitzer can be said to have no chance of winning, the main gap between the two sides is the firing range, the 150 howitzers of the Chinese army can calmly fire outside the range of the Japanese army's 75 mm caliber mountain artillery and 105 mm caliber howitzers, so that the 10th Wing of the Field Artillery will only be beaten, if the commander of the Ryosuke Isoya Division cannot solve this congenital deficiency, then the 10th Wing of the Field Artillery is now going to carry out this artillery battle is a suicide act!

"See for yourself! Shosa Hirata......"

Wing Captain Haruji Taniguchi directly handed the telegram sent by the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery to Hirata, who took it and hurriedly swept it, and finally understood what wishful thinking the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery was doing.

An hour earlier, the Japanese 63rd Infantry Wing in Nanlo had spotted several small units of Chinese troops. Initially, the 63rd Infantry Wing intended to launch a siege to annihilate these small Chinese units in order to avoid another scandalous attack on the wing headquarters. However, when the 63rd Infantry Wing reported the details of the large number of artillery observation equipment carried by these small Chinese units, Major General Kei Seya, who got the news, urgently stopped the operation of the 63rd Infantry Wing!

Major General Seya Kei deduced that the Chinese army did not have many large-caliber artillery in its hands, and if it was to carry out artillery bombardment against the Japanese army in Nanluo, it would definitely snatch 150 howitzers from the Seya detachment, so Major General Seya Kai decided to plan and worked with the artillery commander to make a plan to destroy the 150 heavy artillery of the Chinese army.

Major General Kei Seya ordered the 63rd Infantry Wing of Nanluo to deliberately let the artillery observers of the Chinese army go deeper, and then use the patrol force to drive the artillery observers of the Chinese army to a fake artillery position, and lure the Chinese artillery on the south bank to carry out artillery bombardment, while the secret movement of the Japanese artillery unit to the front of the battle line, use maneuver to make up for the range gap between the 150 howitzers of the Chinese army, and then use the Chinese army to carry out anti-positioning of the shelling of the fake artillery position, and the last step is naturally to carry out covered shooting, Destroyed 150 howitzers of the Chinese army. This plan was strongly supported by the commander of the 10th Division, Ryosuke Isoya, who also ordered the commander of the 63rd Infantry Wing, Fukuei Shinpei Daisa, to personally command the operation to deceive the Chinese artillery observers, and all the artillery under the 10th Division went into battle.

After reading the telegram, Hirata Shaoza felt a burst of excitement for no reason! He is full of anticipation for the upcoming artillery battle!

Captain Taniguchi Chunji patted Hirata Shaoza on the shoulder, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Hirata Shaoza, your future has just begun!" ”

Hirata Shaosa's eyes flashed with tears of emotion, and he said loudly to Captain Haruji Taniguchi: "Hai! ”

"Mixi! Greatly good! ”

Captain Taniguchi once again praised Hirata Shaosa, and seeing Hirata Shaoza being treated so favorably by Captain Taniguchi Haruji, the driver's eyes were full of envy!

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded at the same time to the ears of Wing Captain Taniguchi Haruji and Shosa Hirata, and through the window glass, a huge fireball could be seen rising from the side of the road, and Captain Haruji Taniguchi and Shosa Hirata, who had rich experience in artillery, came up with an answer at the same time----- it was the effect of the explosion of the shells of the 150 howitzer!!

Before the Japanese artillery could lay a wide net, the Chinese artillery took the lead!

***************************************************

"Exceed! Exceed! Distance minus 100! Hit again! ”

Luo Laoqi immediately sent the impact point he observed to the artillery regiment on the south bank, and Shi Jincai immediately gave a new order to the gun position after getting the data:

"One shot at the first shot of the left cannon! The ruler remains the same! Distance minus a hundred! Put! ”

"Boom!"

The location of the explosion of this shell was a little closer to the front of the Japanese convoy, and the deviation of this shell was much smaller than the previous first shot!

The shrapnel produced by the explosion caused some damage to the Japanese army, but it was far from catching up with the effect of a direct hit, Luo Laoqi saw that the Japanese convoy in the distance was showing signs of starting to scatter and escape, and hurriedly issued a new correction order:

"Insufficient! Insufficient! 30 meters ahead! ”

"One shot at the second shot of the left cannon! The ruler remains the same! Add thirty to the distance! Put! ”

"Left! Left! Move a little to the right! 20 meters! 20 meters is good! ”

"One shot for the third shot of the left cannon! Ruler plus 1!! The distance remains the same! Put! ”

"Boom!"

After three test firings, the fourth 150 howitzer shell finally hit a Japanese truck directly, this 150 mm caliber grenade showed amazing destructive power, the truck that was hit directly disintegrated into fragments, tires and wreckage flew to a height of more than ten meters and then smashed heavily on the ground, if there happened to be a ghost soldier in the place where it fell, it is estimated that it will be directly crushed into a meat pie! Liu Yutian, who was holding the binoculars, jumped up excitedly, he just wanted to scream and hit it, but he was covered by the artillery observer who jumped up next to him!

"Company Commander Liu! Silent! Don't forget that there are devils on the little dirt bag next to it! ”

Hearing the word "devil", Liu Yutian immediately recovered from the excitement just now. He glanced at Luo Laoqi with some embarrassment, but how could Luo Laoqi still notice Liu Yutian at this time.

"Excellent! Just hit it like that! Hit hard! “

After Shi Jincai received this telegram from Luo Laoqi, he immediately rushed out of his regiment headquarters and shouted with all his strength: "Call me!" Hit hard! “

The order to shoot was quickly conveyed, and the artillerymen began to move according to the command of the gun commanders of each gun position, and it was not long before all figures on the requisition ground were drowned out in the roar of howitzer fire!

All 150 howitzers of the artillery regiment began a salvo! In several other positions, some mountain artillery within the effective firing range also began to cooperate with the performance, and the German-made 150 howitzers equipped by Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army also began to roar towards the north bank of the canal!

The raindrops of shells formed a curtain of steel, and the sky above the head of Captain Haruji Taniguchi was dark!

"Spread out! Disperse! Get out of the car! Get off the road! ”

There were Japanese soldiers scurrying everywhere, officers and soldiers tried to give orders to regroup their troops in the chaotic crowd, but their efforts were always easily negated by the shells fired by the Chinese artillery, and Captain Haruji Taniguchi saw that some Japanese soldiers who had blown up their heads actually hid under the belly of the car, and more Japanese soldiers abandoned everything and rushed towards the wilderness on both sides of the public side!

The trucks at the front of the convoy were blown to pieces by the first round of shelling, and the car parts and wreckage scattered on the road blocked the path of the following vehicles, and the gasoline-soaked compartment and cab burned like torches! Panicked Japanese drivers rushed into the fire in trucks in an attempt to knock things in their way away, often resulting in a dilemma, after losing three trucks and three crazy drivers in quick succession. The road ahead is completely blocked! At this time, Luo Laoqi began to command the artillery group on the south bank to sweep the tail of the Japanese convoy and the Japanese artillery positions that had not yet arrived and been transferred, and 150 grenades hit several trucks used by the 10th Wing of the Field Artillery to transport shells and several places where the shells were stacked, and the violent explosion swept away the area within a radius of 100 meters, like a tornado!

When the smoke and shock wave of the explosion dissipated, there was wreckage everywhere, and the 10th Wing of the Japanese Field Artillery, which had been in full swing just a moment, entered the landfill in a blink of an eye.

Captain Taniguchi was lying in a muddy pond on the side of the road, covered in mud, and the truck he was riding in had been blown to pieces, and a piece of iron that fell from the sky pierced the back of Captain Taniguchi, causing a rather deep wound. Captain Haruji Taniguchi didn't have the courage to pull out that piece of iron anymore, he didn't want to bleed too much and die!

"Captain! Wing Captain!"

A Japanese officer ran from the smoke and firelight, and when he saw the captain of Haruji Taniguchi in the mud pond, he immediately jumped in and helped Captain Haruji Taniguchi up, and the severe pain in his back made Captain Haruji Taniguchi gasp, and he stared hard to see that it was Hirata Shaosa.

"Hirata Shaosa! We must get off this damn highway! This is the point of the shelling of the Chinese artillery! ”

Captain Taniguchi shouted loudly, he needed to use the power of Hirata Shaosa to escape from this dangerous area, the wounded Captain Taniguchi had now lost most of his mobility, and the iron on his back was tearing at the muscles of Captain Taniguchi. The physical strength is rapidly disappearing with the blood flowing.

"What? Co-Captain! You be louder! ”

"We must get off this damn highway! Get out of here! ”

"What? I can't hear you! You be louder! ”

After a few rounds of useless dialogue, Captain Haruji Taniguchi finally noticed Hirata's ears, and two blood stains flowed out of Hirata's ears and down his cheeks to his shoulders, which was a sign of a perforated eardrum, and Hirata Shosa was already deaf!

"Shh.......h

The sound of Captain Haruji Taniguchi shuddered in the sky again, and he held the hearing-losing Hirata Shaosa, and raised his head vigorously to look at the sky.

Through the black smoke screen, Captain Haruji Taniguchi seemed to see a large-caliber grenade that was sliding from the sky, and he no longer had the strength to dodge, and Hirata Shaosa, who had the strength to dodge, was still saying repeatedly in a furious voice: "What? I can't hear you! You be louder! ”

Captain Haruji Taniguchi lowered his head and laughed, he laughed very hard, the kind that trembled all over. After a while, Captain Haruji Taniguchi turned his head and said to Hirata Shaosa, who was looking at him with a puzzled face, "Hirata-kun! We're going to die here! Do you know? ”

Hirata Shaosa, whose eardrum was pierced, seemed to understand the words of Captain Haruji Taniguchi, and his body shook violently, and then began to cry. At this time, a new round of shells fired by Shi Jincai's artillery regiment fell, and after the violent explosion, the entire highway was completely covered in gunsmoke, and even Luo Laoqi and Liu Yutian, who were holding binoculars, couldn't see anything......
