Chapter 230: Counterattack

PS: Bow and thank Wang Jingxian for the reward of children's shoes, thank you, thank you!

In addition, the previous chapter number is wrong, and it is very troublesome to modify, and it will not be moved in March, and the order is not messed up, so I apologize for the inconvenience

Artillery, during this period, was the king of war and a sharp weapon for attacking fortifications, and the Japanese army's dependence on artillery had been proven throughout World War II. The combat effectiveness of a Japanese army with artillery support was quite strong, they were ahead of most countries in artillery shooting skills at that time, covering shooting, they could calculate the impact points of different caliber shells in several artillery positions, so that the shells reached the maximum density in a fixed area, and could make the shells fall almost vertically into the trenches, or hit the fire points behind the bunkers, which really caused considerable losses to the Allied and Chinese troops.

But once they lose artillery support, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and even the Chinese troops with backward weapons are inferior. Although their skills were first-class at that time, compared with the concept of artillery bombardment 80 years later, especially after the precipitation of the Cold War and the advent of various new weapons, although artillery has not been able to keep up with the pace of the times, it still cannot be replaced in a specific environment, so the shooting skills of artillery are still constantly improving.

Although Dong Ku is not an artilleryman, he has a super memory and the versatility of training, plus he is a pure World War II enthusiast, and he has designed countless plans for how to use artillery bombardment and conduct artillery battles in World War II in his spare time. And today, he wants to let little Japan see the gap, which is also the origin of his ancestor who once said that the shelling.

The bunker of the bait cannon is quite in place, leaving only one barrel sticking out of the bunker, and the surrounding area is several meters high. Several meters of earth were covered with water, and if the shells did not directly hit the artillery, the explosion in the surrounding area would not affect the bait cannons.

This was a way to attract enemy fire, to determine the coordinates, and before anyone knew the principle and calculation of the effectiveness of the fire. The shells of the two guns, which were separated by a few kilometers away, were flying in the sky, and without excellent ballistic calculations, it was impossible to know where the shells were coming from, and there was only an approximate coordinates. As a result, the overlay shooting technique has evolved.

The Japanese artillery was quite dense, but it still failed to make all the bait guns lose the ability to shoot, and in the nearly 20 minutes of the bombardment, only two of the bait guns on this side were overturned by the shells falling a few meters away, and the personnel were injured but not killed.

At the request of Osa, who was in charge of calculating the coordinates, Kawashima Keiichi still did not use the heavy artillery base. There. It is less than ten kilometers away from the front line, once exposed, it will be attacked by the artillery cluster on the opposite side, he has to wait, wait for all the artillery on the opposite side to be exposed, he always feels that the number of artillery on the opposite side is far more than this, after all, the artillery defeat in Harbin has been confirmed, and there are more than 200 artillery pieces there. How can there be only fifty doors here?

Dong Ku is also waiting, he is not waiting for the other side to shell. He was waiting for the opponent's shells to be in place and into position.

The shelling continued, the losses of the artillery on this side were increasing, and already four guns had lost the ability to fire, and all the personnel were wounded.

In the midst of the earthquake, the forward bunker was safe. Only a few shells fell on the bunker that had been repaired last night in the morning, and at this time, only a few hundred meters behind, and a huge earthquake and roar continued to be heard from a position of thousands of meters. This made the anti-union fighters in the trenches very strange, and the Japanese artillery fired very accurately. The deviation of one or two hundred meters is normal, but the deviation can be thousands of meters, which should not be.

However, the experienced veteran soldier knew that behind was an artillery position, and although the sound of artillery here was muffled by the sound of explosions, it was clearly an artillery battle.

They all quietly held their guns, waiting for the result of the artillery battle, which determined whether they would squat in the trenches in the trenches and dare not go out in the following days, or they could breathe fresh air without worrying about the shells flying from the opposite side.

Dong Ku was standing quietly in the forward command at this time, and Lao Zhao was standing beside him. And none of his eleven guards were around, from early in the morning, Dong Ku walked around the position alone, with only Lao Zhao and Lao Zhao's guards and ten artillery instructors around him.

At this time, his guards were in a group of three or three, and the last two were in a group, a total of four groups, and they had secretly lurked near several important places, and they set off with Lao Zhao's scouts who had just been trained, and they also secretly infiltrated the interior of the Japanese army position with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a depth of more than 20 kilometers.

Just as the cannon roared, the walkie-talkie in the forward command rang out.

"Mountain eagle, mountain eagle, falcon report. Falcon Report. The prey is out of the hole, it is ready to pounce, it is ready to pounce. ”

Dong Ku turned around and stared at the operator at the moment when the operator called out the mountain carving and received it, waiting for the coordinates.

The ten artillery instructors stared at the map and paper in front of them without raising their heads, and the pens and coordinate simulacrums in their hands were ready, waiting for the coordinates to be reported.

Lao Zhao also copied a phone next to him and waited for the start of the plan.

Falcon reports that prey has come out of the hole to feed, 934...... 76……

At the moment when the coordinates appeared, Dong Ku grabbed one of the three phones beside him. Ten artillery instructors quickly marked the location of the coordinates on the map and calculated the elements of the shelling.

Lao Zhao shouted into the phone: "All departments are out of the hole waiting to forage!" ”

With his shout, the soldiers in the forward position drilled shooting holes in the smoke one after another, quickly lowered their bodies, and gathered outside the position.

At the moment when the crowd was pouring out here, a series of reports rang out in the command headquarters.

"The falcon reports that the prey is feeding...... 690…… 54……”

Mountain eagle reports that prey is feeding, 562...... 312……

With the report of the coordinates one by one, the ten instructors were nervously busy, constantly calculating the coordinates, marking them on the map, calculating the elements one by one, and then, the report sounded.

"Coordinate 1 934...... 76……”

Dong Ku's voice rang out.

"Coordinate 1 934...... 76……”

"Coordinates No. 2 910...... 182……”

Dong Ku then shouted: "Coordinate No. 2 910... 192……”

As the coordinates were reported one by one, the first plum blossom shape centered on the coordinates reported by the front line was formed on the map.

After reporting the sixth coordinates, Dong Ku shouted: "Shoot effectively!" Put!! ”

With his roar, there was a roar in the rear filled with gunsmoke, and a piece of shells flew towards the target in a staggered manner.

"Coordinate No. 3: 542...... 182……”

The coordinates in the command headquarters were still shouting, and Dong Ku was also repeating in another phone call.

Earth. At this moment, he trembled even more violently, and the gunsmoke-filled position whistled out pieces of projectiles, staggered past the cannonballs on the opposite side, and the falcon pounced on it and flew towards the target.

"Report! The artillery on the opposite side suddenly densely ......"

The front line of the Japanese army discovered the anomaly, and the call was made to the command headquarters.

"Notify the ministries of defensive artillery bombardment!!"

Kawashima Sukuichi ordered solemnly. At this time. He did not realize that this was the end of his career as a lieutenant general, the end of his military career.

Before his order could be heard, there was a violent shaking in the headquarters, the teacups fell to the ground, the wood above his head fell to the dust, the electric lights burst in the flicker, and the people fell one by one, just like in the great earthquake. The desks stacked with ammunition boxes shook and fell apart, and Command was plunged into darkness in the midst of the massive earthquake.

The huge roar annihilated all the sounds at this moment, and the entire world realm was covered by this loud sound that shattered the sky, so that everyone in the headquarters could not hear any other sound in their ears.

Outside the headquarters, all the artillery came to a halt at this moment, all stupefied by the furious loud noise and rollercoaster shaking.

All the frightened Japanese soldiers who were far away from the location of the explosion tried to stand still and look at the huge clouds of smoke rising in the distance.

All the makeshift buildings that were a kilometer or two away from the smoke ball were torn apart by the raging shock wave. All kinds of debris rolled in the air, sweeping out like a wave.

The nearby earth cracked in the violent tremors. The hard frozen soil could not withstand the tearing of the earthquake and cracked.

Snow on the ground, which was more than a meter thick, rolled in the shock wave and quickly melted.

Looking at the heavy artillery position behind the mountain bag, hundreds of cannons were thrown into the sky with a loud bang, and the huge barrels twisted with the rolling debris, fragments, and shrapnel. Fell out in all directions.

In a ditch two or three meters deep a kilometer away, two guards curled up at the bottom of the ditch with their mouths open and their ears covered, rolling back and forth with the shock. Withstanding the raging earthquake.

At this point, the debris has not fallen, and the entire heavy artillery position has not been fired at this moment, and it is gone.

The feeling of the sky collapsing here has not yet passed, and in the midst of a burst of whistling, the Japanese artillery positions that were still comfortably bombarded just now have a series of big explosions, even if they did not cause the shells on the positions to explode, the violent shock wave also tore apart most of the lives and knocked down most of the artillery.

The Japanese troops in the barracks had not yet woken up from the shaking, and in a scream, a piece of artillery shells fell on their heads, and the shock wave was agitated back and forth in the convergence of more than a dozen shells, forming a more violent shock wave, destroying everything along the way, and spreading out in all directions. With a single blow, the barracks was blown out of a void with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and most of the temporary barracks were destroyed.

In the quartermaster camp, the Japanese troops tried to start the trucks in a panic and pull all the supplies away and retreated. But in the cold Northeast of the Northeast, if you stop for a long time, if you don't keep catching fire, you must release water, and there is no antifreeze and high-grade antifreeze engine oil at this time, so they must bake the car first and boil the water first.

Where is there time for them to do this?

In the panic, a scream came from far and near, and exploded on the roads cleared outside these camps, and large potholes blocked the road where the trucks were leaving, making the Japanese soldiers who still wanted to drive the trucks that had started early out of the road completely dumbfounded.

In the command headquarters, in three or a few minutes, everyone woke up from the dizziness, and Kawashimasuke, who got up, didn't bother to ask about the loss, and in the pillar of light of the flashlight, his face was as hateful as the devil and yelled: "Enter the forward position!" ”

But at this time, the order could no longer be conveyed, and seven or eight camps on the front were shelled almost simultaneously, and it was already chaotic. The forward positions were also subjected to intensive artillery bombardment, and as long as the shells fell, there would be Japanese troops with a diameter of several tens of meters left, and even in temporary bunkers, they could not stop the raging of the violent shock wave.

The smoke of gunpowder enveloped all the positions of the Japanese army at this moment, and a violent explosion roared along the front line that stretched for more than ten kilometers, and the flames swallowed the panicked crowd, and pieces of shrapnel flew in a staggered manner, tearing apart all vulnerable objects.

Screams and blood splattered, and in the roaring explosion, turned this piece into a hell on earth.

The artillery fire on the opposite side was extremely accurate, and at the moment when the panicked Japanese troops had just assembled into a group, they had not time to rush into the forward position, but they were blown away by several shells that suddenly came, throwing down dozens of corpses and scattering to hide.

Ignoring the obstruction of his subordinates, Kawashima Jie drew his command knife and rushed out of the semi-underground headquarters. But what he saw was gunsmoke everywhere, panicked soldiers everywhere, and figures flying in the air everywhere.

"It's over......"

The courage to rush out and prepare to fight back just now was like a deflated ball at this moment, and a wave of despair crept into my heart.

He was careful enough, all the barracks must be five kilometers away from the front line, at least ten kilometers away from the opponent's artillery positions, and the heavy artillery positions have been withstanding and covered by mountain bags. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was still wrong, that the other party had actually transported the long-range artillery from the fortress, or that it had ultra-long-range strike capabilities, so that there would be no safety within fifteen kilometers.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the enemy has launched a counterattack! Are we ......"

Kawashima couldn't hear the shouts of the major general in his ears, and he stared blankly at the fire in front of him, at the figure of the soldier flying in the firelight. The only thing he could understand was that he needed to apologize.

The intensive artillery bombardment continued, and more than 20 Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, allowing the artillery on the opposite side to point their guns at any point unscrupulously.

In the headquarters on Qiqihar's side, the coordinates are still reported, but the code name has been changed to Sparrow, and it is no longer the code name of Eagle.

With this slight change, the ten to fifteen guns were divided into groups of five, becoming one zero one, or zero two, and with the coordinates in place, five guns were fired one at a time, clearing those small targets, blocking the roads that were carved out of the snow, and bombarding the Japanese troops on the forward positions.

At this time, the Japanese army was simply unable to make an effective defense in the scattered and accurate shelling, and it was impossible to build a strong trench in the freezing weather. How could improvised trenches made of snow from trees hold back the bombardment of large-caliber artillery?

They were powerless to react except to avoid the shelling, and the hundreds of thousands of troops struggled in the shelling, and in the panic, the order could not be conveyed, so that this piece of Japanese army, which had not lost its combat effectiveness, became scattered sand.

"Lao Zhao, it's time for you to perform!"

After Dong Ku reported a coordinate, he put down the phone and said. (To be continued......)
