Chapter 117: The First Battle of the Ninth Regiment
"Idiot! That Zhina army is conducting a counteroffensive in Jinan, this is not their main force, this is an empty city plan! After receiving the news of the vanguard army's counterattack on the Western Front, Noborichi Kunisaki angrily broke into Yuichiro Nagano's headquarters and directly ordered: "Attack immediately!" ”
"Miyamoto's brigade, attack, capture the Fengyue slope in front!" After Yuichiro Nagano bowed his head and listened to the order, he turned his head and directly ordered Miyamotoro's first brigade. The last time a heavy artillery shell fell, Nagano ordered the 1st Brigade to withdraw. After asking Noboru Kunisaki for instructions to recuperate, he had just discussed with a few staff officers for a night when Noboru Kunisaki broke in.
In order to prevent the heavy artillery on the opposite side, the formation of Miyamoto's brigade was very scattered, and cautiously rushed up the hillside.
"Ge Laozi, it's finally coming!"
Deng Shaohu, who had been paying attention to them, had already discovered their actions when the devils first started. When Nanjing rescued people, Wu Xinhua also sent more than 100 relatively strong soldiers to participate in the rescue operation in the rear in order to show his sincerity. Deng Shaohu turned out to be a battalion commander in the Sichuan Army, and after joining the Vanguard Army, he directly became the commander of the Ninth Regiment.
Deng Shaohu touched the barrel of a large-caliber machine gun beside him, and sighed twice: "It's going to open today!" "The Sichuan soldiers needed to be recuperated, and many of them had to be retrained to familiarize themselves with their weapons, and they didn't catch up with the previous battles. It wasn't until it was transferred to the Eastern Front that it opened for the first time.
Liu Xingchuan, the regimental chief of staff beside him, took out a cigarette and handed it over. He is the crying soldier from the 146th Division, leading more than 200 soldiers to join the vanguard army in Nanjing, when he met Deng Shaohu, the two people he knew got together, hugged a group, and became the main force of the new Ninth Regiment together.
"It's hard to fight!" He sighed.
"Ball! What is not good to fight! There are so many good things, and the little devils come and fight as many as they want! Deng Shaohu glared.
Liu Xingchuan smiled, he knew Deng Shaohu's temper, and said slowly: "Brigade Commander Huang, they only killed a few people, and they wiped out a wing of devils!" If we have too many casualties, we will be a little shameless! ”
"He's a hammer, as long as the little devil dies more than we do! One fights him, and we earn it too! We have tens of millions of people in our family! Deng Shaohu grinned.
"Right! The devil is coming! Liu Xingchuan smiled and changed the topic.
Deng Shaohu was accustomed to putting the devil within a hundred meters of the first line of defense before he shouted the order to attack.
The MG-34 machine gun opened fire first, and the roar of nearly a hundred machine guns in a battalion immediately knocked down a large number of devils. Although they were scattered, it was the first time that they had encountered such a dense fire, and the 41st Wing, the first attempt of the Fifth Division, had no one to tell them about the horror of these machine guns.
"It's not to tell Tang Cong that melon baby, just use half of the machine gun. How many bullets do you have to use to hit so many at once! Deng Shaohu said angrily.
"The little devil didn't know our reality at first, and he hated him all of a sudden, so that he could remember his surname for a long time! There is news from the division seat in the back, so that we don't have to worry about ammunition! Liu Xingchuan said and sighed in his heart. Fortunately, I had the vision to follow the right person at that time, otherwise where would I have come from?
At that time, they only had a precious light machine gun in the whole company. Not to mention heavy machine guns, they didn't have any in the regiment. Where is there now a general-purpose machine gun like this in a squad, which can be used as a heavy machine gun with a heavy machine gun mount, which is no worse than Makqin.
"Yes, yes! That Lao Tzu is going to open the killing ring today! Deng Shaohu smiled, but his brows were still a little stagnant, he got up step by step from a small soldier and saw more of the world, according to this style of play, I don't know if I can stick to it. How long does it take to accumulate such a massive amount of ammunition? Could it be that the vanguard army has its own arsenal and can produce ammunition?
Deng Shaohu sensed something with his keen intuition, but he didn't know that not far behind him, two new tank factories and two logistics equipment centers had been built, constantly providing ammunition and weapons nearby.
"I'm going to flood the island with a sea of metal warheads!" This was Meng Xiang's bold remark after that meeting that day.
"They have so many machine guns!" Nagano was taken aback, he had only heard that the vanguard army had a lot of machine guns and artillery, but the firepower was stronger than that of the emperor [***] team, so he really didn't expect it.
"An elite regiment on the other side?" Seeing the size of the mountain, he analyzed.
"Commander, go to the back! There's a battalion of mine here, and there will never be a problem! Tang Cong persuaded vigorously, this was originally his position, but Deng Shaohu was not at ease, and came to the front line to inspect it in person.
"Brother Deng, let's go to the back! I've been here for a long time, I'm afraid this baby won't be able to command! Liu Xingchuan also smiled and persuaded.
"Lao Tzu will look at it a little longer. You melon baby, Lao Tzu will not interfere with your command, although you are busy with you, Lao Tzu is here to watch how the little devil is crying and calling his mother! "Deng Shaohu is really not at ease, there are other results there, and the performance of the Ninth Regiment of the Sichuan Army depends on the battle he participated in for the first time.
Tang Cong glanced at Liu Xingchuan helplessly, Liu Xingchuan made a gesture at him, and he left stupidly.
The soldiers of the Fifth Division were all elite at this time, and they were forced by machine guns and immediately lay prone on the ground, although there were some casualties, but they were not as big as Liu Xingchuan expected at the beginning.
The devils took advantage of the rugged terrain and began to return fire, carefully exposing their bodies a little to avoid being swept by the machine guns. The machine gun swept over, except for breaking some stone chips, it could only suppress the hidden devils.
"Mortar!" When Deng Shaohu saw it, he shouted. Tang Cong looked at this side, waved his hand, and his soldiers adjusted the targets of the 50 and 80 mortars.
The devils reacted faster, and their grenadiers bloomed first on the top of the heads of the vanguard.
"Knock out those grenadiers!" Deng Shaohu shouted again, and Liu Xingchuan shook his head helplessly when he saw Tang Cong's begging gaze.
Miki rolled to the side in embarrassment, and even if a sharp gravel under him made his ribs hurt, he couldn't care about it. No sooner had he fired a grenade than he heard the screeching of shells overhead. Fortunately, he hid in time and picked up a life. Kanichi Mitsui, who was not far away, was not so lucky, the mortar shell exploded directly beside him, shrapnel cut his throat, and blood foam gushed out at once. He struggled for a moment, and only grabbed a long trail of blood directly from Miki Yumichi's arm, who rushed over to help him, before he choked his breath and died.
Miki also used mortars, mortar and grenadier duels, and there was not much suspense.
"Boom!" There was another bang not far away.
"The level of these people is also very good!" Miki Youdao, who rolled to the side, sighed. He didn't know that these good techniques were all made with live ammunition, except for the clone gunners who had some foundations, the others were all trained by the original artillerymen and recruits little by little by relying on a hundred shells per person. Even Kong Ci grinned in distress, and his requirements for his subordinates became stricter.
Even if the grenadiers of the devils are elite veterans, they are much less powerful, and no matter how accurate they are, they can't withstand the bombardment of almost the same number of mortars. In particular, 80 guns bombarded from afar, and several guns were aimed at a grenadier to bombard each attack. It's hard to dodge, and if you can't reach it, you can only be passively bombed.
"The devil's mountain cannon is coming!" Huang Huamin, who was also paying attention here, heard the report of the investigators and directly ordered: "Let's fight first!" ”
As soon as the accompanying mountain artillery brigade fixed the bracket, they heard a loud scream coming from above.
"Heavy artillery!" All artillerymen, extremely familiar with this. Although I knew that they had heavy artillery, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
A reconnaissance plane in the air was constantly correcting the artillery point. The pre-determined gun positions have already been calculated and measured in various places, so that they can be quickly adjusted.
The devil's artillerymen were rejoicing that the round of shells was a little behind, when another round of shells popped out above their heads.
"Why do they have so many cannons?" Musashi Rokufuku sighed.
Obviously, this is not fired from the same gun, there must be other artillery pieces that have been urgently adjusted and fired immediately to have such an effect.
The bombardment of the heavy artillery fell directly in the vicinity of the artillery positions, and the rapid shrapnel striking clanged on the barrels. Beads of blood from the spinning shrapnel flew through the air and finally fell directly into the dirt, giving the brown dirt a reddish-brown glow.
A second round of shelling followed, and two screams were particularly noticeable.
"Boom! "Boom" two earth-shattering loud bangs.
"Large-caliber heavy artillery!" Musashi Rokufuku shouted mournfully.
