Chapter 41: The Cannon Bombards
PS: Thank you Si Ming for still rewarding 100 starting coins
The previous peace of Liujiahu Village was broken, and there was hardly a single villager in the whole village, who heard that the Japanese army was going to attack Taierzhuang, unless it was a fool, no one would stay in the village and wait for death.
Ten cannons were placed in Liujiahu Village, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to be defenseless at all, so a squadron of nearly 200 Japanese troops was specially assigned to garrison it, and with the addition of artillery, the Japanese army gathered in Liujiahu Village with almost 250 people.
At this time, the Japanese artillery had already returned to its position, and it could receive an order to launch an artillery bombardment on Taierzhuang at any time, and the men and horses of the Japanese squadron responsible for guarding the artillery position were scattered around, which actually seemed a little scattered.
This kind of casualness was brought up by the soldiers of the Japanese artillery, after all, the Japanese squadron was also the men and horses of the 10th Division, the elite of the elite, but the Japanese army was arrogant and accustomed, and they never thought that anyone would target them, plus the casual atmosphere of the Japanese artillery, so on the entire artillery position, all the Japanese troops seemed to be very scattered.
Fang Xiaoyu was leading a group of subordinates to slowly approach the Japanese artillery position, and the Japanese army was really defenseless, so they let Fang Xiaoyu and them approach the Japanese artillery position.
The distance is getting closer and closer, when it is close to nearly 100 meters, Fang Xiaoyu knows that there are so many people, such a close distance, it is impossible to hide again, and it may be discovered by the Japanese army at any time, so Fang Xiaoyu shouted, and all the people shot bullets at the unsuspecting Japanese army.
The Japanese army was blinded by the sudden blow, especially Fang Xiaoyu, who had his eyes on the Japanese squadron leader early.
It's really that the squadron leader is too eye-catching, with the command knife in hand, Fang Xiaoyu is not blind, and he can't say anything if he doesn't notice him anymore.
Fang Xiaoyu threw a grenade to kill it first, the snake was headless, although it was said that the elite of the Japanese army reacted very quickly, but the death of the squadron leader affected the reaction of the Japanese army.
By the time the Japanese army reacted, Fang Xiaoyu and others had already rushed into the artillery position, and Fang Xiaoyu shouted: "Grenade!" ”
Suddenly, thousands of grenades were thrown out in just a dozen seconds, and it is conceivable that under the cover of so many grenades, the entire artillery position fell into a cloud of gunsmoke.
The Japanese army that originally reacted was even more miserable, but this wave continued, and at least half of the Japanese army was killed.
The key is that at this time, those incomparably precious artillery soldiers actually dropped their cannons and turned around and ran, and the reaction of these artillerymen made Fang Xiaoyu and others stunned, and then Fang Xiaoyu and others became stronger.
The grenade was thrown away, and everyone pulled out their big knives and slashed at the bewildered Japanese soldiers who were blown up beside them.
Fang Xiaoyu would slash and kill a devil every time he slashed down, and in a while, he slashed and killed more than a dozen devils, and the blades were all blunted.
As more and more Japanese soldiers were slashed and killed, these Japanese troops finally collapsed, and the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers turned and fled after the artillerymen.
Just when the Japanese artillery positions were in chaos, the Seya detachment, which appeared in front of Taierzhuang, was ready to attack.
With an order, the Japanese army suddenly launched a frantic offensive against the outer positions of Taierzhuang, the Japanese artillery roared, and the position of the national * army fell into a cloud of gunsmoke.
At this time, the position of the national * army seemed to have become a sea of hellfire, and from time to time you could see the wreckage of soldiers who had been hit by shells flying out.
In the air-raid shelter, through the binoculars, Qi Zibin clearly saw his men and horses undergoing the test of life and death in the Japanese artillery fire.
One after another, the Northwest men were killed by the shells before they even had a chance to shoot a bullet at the Japanese army, and the men clenched their fists and slammed them on the stone wall, and suddenly blood oozed out of their fists.
The guards on the side couldn't help but say worriedly: "Brigade commander! ”
Qi Zibin frowned and said, "Damn, the artillery fire of the little devil is so fierce, I don't know how many more brothers will die in the Japanese artillery fire." ”
A staff officer said softly: "Brigade commander, I don't know if the Japanese artillery position in Liujiahu Village has been taken, if that artillery position has not been taken, then with its geographical location, the threat to us will be even greater." ”
Qi Zibin took a deep breath and said: "We want the other battalion commander to have confidence, he will definitely be able to finish off the Japanese artillery position!" ”
Having said that, Qi Zibin actually has no confidence in his heart, after all, no one dares to take this kind of thing, but in front of his subordinates, Qi Zibin can't show his lack of confidence in his heart.
The Japanese artillery fire became more and more fierce, and at this time, a Japanese wing commander was gathering his men and horses, looking at the position of the national * army shrouded in gunpowder with a look of satisfaction, but soon the wing captain frowned and said: "Baga, what is going on, why didn't the artillery fire in Liujiahu Village join the shelling, immediately call me to ask what is going on!" ”
At this time, on top of the original artillery position of the Japanese army in Liujiahu Village, the Japanese soldiers who had fled had disappeared, leaving behind corpses.
More than 300 people in Fang Xiaoyu's fourth battalion also lost dozens of people in the charge, and they also lost so many people unintentionally, which shows the combat power of the Japanese army.
However, looking at the captured Japanese artillery position, Fang Xiaoyu and the others showed joy on their faces, and this loss was worth it compared to the results.
Qian Gui, whose face was blackened, didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and came to Fang Xiaoyu and said to Fang Xiaoyu: "Battalion commander, a total of ten cannons were found, of which four were blown up, and there are still six cannons left, do you want the brothers to blow them up immediately." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously, but immediately reacted and shouted: "What are you frying, these are all treasures." ”
The roar of Japanese artillery in the distance made Fang Xiaoyu have a thought in his heart, looking at the six intact cannons, Fang Xiaoyu spit out a mouthful of saliva, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The Japanese troops who had gathered together could not wait for the artillery in Liujiahu Village to speak, and when they saw the commander of the wing giving an order, the impatient Japanese troops who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the position of the national * army like a wild boar howling.
At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound in the air, but any soldier who had participated in the war was no stranger to this whistling sound, because it was the sound of cannonballs about to fall.
Several Japanese soldiers couldn't help but look up at the air curiously, where did this shell fly from, if it was said that it was the opposite national * army, it didn't seem quite right.
The previous wing captain nodded again and again when he heard the whistling of the cannonballs, and said with great satisfaction: "Yo Xi! It seems that those imperial soldiers in Liujiahu have finally reacted, and they will up fiercely! ”
But at this moment, a Japanese soldier who was following the Wing Commander pounced on him and crushed him to death in the Wing Commander's astonishment.
"Baga, Baga, I'm going to kill you!"
Unfortunately, his roar was drowned out by a violent roar, and the earth shook, and there was rubble everywhere and severed limbs and stumps fell down.
The captain felt his ears roar with shock, and with a snap, he saw a blood-dripping thigh smash down in front of his eyes, splashing blood on his face.
The soldier who had been pressing on him had already been cut in the head by a shrapnel, and the wing commander finally got up and staggered around.
I saw that the wing, which was originally preparing to charge, was thrown into chaos in a burst of artillery bombardment.
Because they were unprepared, the damage caused by this sudden shelling to the Japanese was very large, and at least hundreds of Japanese casualties were visually seen.
Pulling out the command knife violently, the wing captain who was almost in a frenzy shouted: "Disperse, scatter for me, quickly return fire to me, return fire!" ”
Originally, on the position of the Nationalist Army, they were preparing to face the charge of the Japanese army, especially the preparation of the Japanese army on the opposite side.
However, the next scene stunned everyone, one after another shells fell from the sky, and the Japanese army was blown up in a mess.
The **** generals such as Qi Zibin and Wang Yubin, who were holding binoculars, all showed unbelievable looks on their faces.
Obviously, this sudden shelling shocked everyone, and if it weren't for seeing many Japanese soldiers killed and wounded, they would have wondered if what appeared in front of them was an illusion.
Suddenly, Qi Zibin reacted, looked at the trajectory of the cannonball, and shouted: "Liujiahu Village, this cannonball is from the direction of Liujiahu Village!" ”
