Chapter 157 Artillery Battle (One Update) Ask for Collection Recommendation

A few rounds of shelling did not consume much ammunition, and one cannon only had four shells, but it played a several times the lethal effect, which was the concept of effective shooting in the later period.

At the end of the shelling, Dong Ku looked at the Japanese troops scattered and retreating all over the ground, he did not waste shells, and ordered the artillery positions to be transferred.

At present, the role of artillery is very important in the war, let alone attacking fortifications without artillery, even if it is defended, it will have to pay a heavy price.

The camp was ready, he left the camp and came to the front. The first two offensives of the Japanese army suffered great losses because they did not understand the tactics and combat effectiveness of this side, and once the Japanese army reflected too much, the disparity in strength would become apparent.

Fortunately, the Japanese did not attack until three o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already dark. The sentries hidden in the surrounding mountains and forests did not notice that the Japanese army had made a roundabout move, and it was obvious that the other side had realized the difficulty and effect of marching in the heavy snow, and it was exactly as Dong Ku had planned in advance to bite themselves and defeat them.

"Order, each company sends a platoon to clean up the battlefield when it gets dark, move quickly, don't expose the target, don't fall in love with the battle!"

With the phone call, the order reached each of the company commanders.

Communication is very important at this time, and in the trenches, the telephone lines attached to the root of the wall, and the exchange in the observation and command room where Dong Ku is located, can ensure that his orders are unimpeded and fast.

Before dark, the Japanese troops were on their way to treat the wounded, but they were frightened back by the two mortars and sniper rifles scattered in the bunkers, and they did not attack again until a campfire was lit in the distance.

At the top of the mountain and the mountain pass, the soldiers did not use skis and snowboards, they all rushed to the battlefield on foot, cleaned up the guns, ammunition and various materials that were not damaged, and it only took more than half an hour before and after to pile up piles of materials in the bunker.

Subsequently, belongings, guns, and marching rations were brought back to the camp, while grenades and bullets were left on the front line.

This night, the Japanese army did not move, but Dong Ku saw the change on the opposite side, and the fire behind the mountain illuminated the sky, which showed that the Japanese army had reinforcements again.

Dong Ku's guess was right, Jiamusi's reinforcements arrived, and Harbin's reinforcements will arrive overnight tomorrow morning.

Koizumi did not give any more orders to attack because he had a telegram that the Fukaya Mine was still there, and was studying with his staff officers how to attack the line of defense in front of him.

The sky is gradually getting brighter. On the other side of the mountain, several kilometers long were filled with Japanese troops. The 11th and 6th Divisions of the Harbin reinforcements all arrived at 8 o'clock, resting and eating, making preparations to take the position in front of them.

In the camp, the temporary wooden cage room has been built, and the miners have begun to train recruits with the weapons they have been given. Half of the warriors of the Oroqen moved to the first line, filling up the defensive line with a length of three kilometers and taking up commanding heights on the hills on the flanks.

Dong Ku didn't return to the camp, he lived in the command room, and he knew that the big battle was today.

"The Japanese army has moved! Enter the combat post! ”

At nine o'clock, with the shouts of the observers, the fighters who had finished breakfast each entered the position with gas masks and weapons.

In the distance, the Japanese army overflowed from the mountain pass, quickly diverted, lined up left and right, apparently preparing for the tactics of a sea of people to take the position.

"Tank!!"

An observer saw the iron guy slowly emerging from the mountain pass.

"It's coming!"

Dong Ku tightened the telescope in his hand and sighed in his heart.

The Japanese army gathered for about half an hour, and six tanks and fifteen armored vehicles poured out of the pass. After completing the assembly of troops, six tanks lined up and rushed towards the position of the mountain pass with a bang.

"Watch for secrecy!"

Shouts from the trenches were passed on both sides. The recruits who had never seen tank combat were curious and nervous, and the veterans of the Northeast Army who had seen the power of tanks were panicked. It's a big killer!

Everyone didn't squeak at this moment, and quietly lay behind the bunker, watching the Japanese soldiers who were slowly advancing with the tanks in the distance.

"Whew......"

Xiao Zhe broke the oppressive atmosphere with a sharp cannonball, and with Xiao Zhe, a mortar shell fell on the hillside in front of the position.

Dong Ku quickly calculated the ballistic curvature, picked up the phone and ordered: "Falcon Four, coordinates 91 to the west, effective shooting!" Finish shooting and transfer to position number three! ”

With the order, the tom mortars rang out, and a black shadow flew towards the Japanese artillery positions in the hidden place.

"The target appears, coordinates 196 are easterly!"

Cries of reporting the coordinates sounded from the positions of the Japanese troops.

With a shout, the mortar that had been foamed before was thrown there, and the four artillerymen ran wildly and left the gun position.

Then the loud bang annihilated the place, and the lone mortar was blown to parts and flew around with the shock wave.

Before the smoke of the explosion had dissipated, the sound of mortars sounded from the two artillery positions in the distance, and a black shadow scrambled to fly in the direction where the advance army had just foamed, covering a fairly wide area, covering a range of 100 meters.

Several soldiers running with cannonballs on their shoulders jumped into the trenches not far above after hearing Xiao Zhe's voice. The dismantling of the mortars was not so rapid, only six of the ten guns were carried out of their positions, and the other four were thrown there at the shouting of the observers before they could be carried away, and the personnel quickly jumped into the trenches.

No sooner had they leaned against the base of the bunker than a booming explosion rang out violently. The blast wave tore apart the small trees and shrubs that had not been felled, and the shrapnel sliced through all the surrounding protrusions. A cannonball landed on the inside of the bunker wall, a mist of blood floated up, and several Oroqen warriors fell in a pool of blood.

Two of the four mortars on the position were directly hit by shells and turned into scrap metal, and the other two were overturned to the ground, and the damage to the tunnel is unknown.

"!"

Dong Ku had long expected that the other party would come to this attack, but he didn't expect that the opponent's artillery had already set up to shoot Zhu Yuan, just waiting for the artillery position on his side to be exposed. In fact, he didn't know what to do, the Japanese army only used a mortar, and the lives of a few people were used to obtain one of his artillery positions.

burst into a foul language, and Dong Ku quickly ordered.

"Falcon III, coordinates 78... 125 effective shots, go into cover after shooting! ”

"Falcon II, coordinates 96 west of the fire, finish shooting and enter the bunker!"

"Falcon One, Falcon Five on standby!"

Positions No. 3 and No. 2 were set up in the order to shoot at Zhu Yuan, and each of them fired ten guns at once, and without waiting for the smoke from the muzzle of the guns to dissipate, they quickly carried the shells and guns up to the bunker.

The whistling shells staggered with the Japanese shells in the air, and the explosion of the artillery position on the fourth before this side continued to sound, and the bombardment landed on a mortar and a 92 infantry gun position. Perfect coverage, destroying all the two artillery pieces of the Japanese army that had just completed the second round of firing, fortunately, there was not much ammunition stored here, otherwise, there would be no man's land around 100 meters.

In the sound of the explosion, the other two artillery positions of the Japanese army burst into flames, and a projectile left the gun chamber one after another and flew towards the No. 2 and No. 3 artillery positions.

Japanese shells whizzed and landed on two positions, blowing out more than a dozen large craters there.

When the shells fell, the trajectory was also calculated by Dong Ku, and the two shells immediately rushed to the Japanese artillery position.

In the loud roar, the two positions were covered by artillery fire one after another, and the violent explosion made that piece empty, and the cannon barrel parts flew all over the sky, and naturally there were no people left.

Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura of the 11th Division arrived and took over the position of commander-in-chief. He watched the artillery battle on both sides near the pass, frowning.

He was amazed by the opponent's artillery shooting skills and ability to calculate artillery positions. Not to mention the dense coverage, it is too late to even withdraw, it is this ability to calculate positions through ballistics is something that all the artillery of their troops cannot do. The artillery position on the opposite side had already set Zhuyuan according to the reference of the mountain, and as long as the shells were seen flying out, the approximate Zhuyuan was already there. But the cannons on his side have just been planted, and the other party will never know in advance.

"That's a good opponent!"

Junrokuro Matsuura tugged at the cotton hat and muttered in a low voice, ignoring the loss of the artillery position. Artillery, he and the Sixth Division came by train, so naturally there was no shortage of heavy weapons, but the heavy snow was inconvenient to haul, and there was no mountain artillery.

The artillery bombardment of both sides, the positions on the side of Dong Ku were covered by artillery fire in many places, but fortunately, they were all aimed at the artillery positions, although some fell near the trenches, the damage was not great.

On the other hand, the Japanese army fired two rounds and four artillery positions were destroyed, and although they did not lose the ability to support fire, it obviously took time to rebuild the position.

Just when the artillery on both sides was looking for an opportunity to knock out the opponent's artillery position, the tanks also rumbled to the foot of the mountain, stopped one after another, and began to bombard the mountain pass position amid the sound of tom tom.

Behind, the Japanese followed the tank and quickly approached the foot of the mountain, although the figures continued to fall in the sniper, but did not stop the pace.

Dong Ku stared at the approaching Japanese troops, and then ordered on the phone: "Grenadiers are ready!" ”

As the order was delivered, the artillerymen of the independent brigades, and the infantry who had just learned to use it for less than two days, came out of their hiding places, leaned against the back of the bunker wall, and pressed the base of the grenadier against the wall, waiting for the order.

They never had a chance to fire, and they didn't have a chance to shoot, because they didn't have guns with them, but one of them carried thirty-two grenades.

The bombardment of the tanks continued, and although it was not possible to bombard the top of the mountain, the pass was covered by their fire.

"Hide!! Open the shooting port below!! ”

The commander at the pass shouted, retracted his head and looked ahead from the gap under the log, the Japanese did not approach, they would not shoot.

Dong Ku was right, the Japanese army used these people to find the artillery positions on this side, once all of them were destroyed, then the opponent's artillery and tanks would be invincible. Therefore, the artillery that shifted the position did not move, and he was also waiting for the opponent's artillery to fire first. But in front of them, the Japanese army took out grenadiers in pieces, and the effective distance of the Type 89 grenadiers was 500 meters, and the maximum firing range was 700 meters, which was enough to cover all the positions in front of the tank.
