Chapter 322 Is this still the Fourth Army? "Baga, who can tell me what is going on?" Major Jiro Murata felt the sound of gunfire outside, frowned slightly, and asked with some dissatisfaction. Logically speaking, there could be no gunfire in the middle of the night. Could it be the Chinese Army? Impossible! They can't be that fast. "Hai, Your Majesty Major, I will send someone to check what is going on." Captain Kawamoto asked respectfully. "Yes." Major Jiro Murata nodded. At this time, several more fierce gunshots were heard. Other than that, there is nothing.
This made Major Jiro Murata feel much more relaxed. It should only be a small force. The guerrilla forces near Yangcheng have never stopped. Why are there three independent brigades stationed in Yangcheng and two divisions in several nearby cities? It is because the harassment of guerrillas has given the Japanese army a headache. Therefore, Major Jiro Murata subconsciously thought it was another guerrilla. As for why there was an explosion, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought it was the guerrillas who had obtained the mortar again. After a while, Captain Kawamoto walked in and said offensively. "Reporting to your Excellency, Major, the people sent to investigate have not returned yet, but just now the gunfire became extremely intensive, and it is suspected to be the main force of the China Army." "Has the Fourth Army arrived?" "Is it the Fourth Army? Or those guerrillas?" Major Jiro Murata asked quickly. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Major, we still need to wait for the frontline troops to report the specific situation, but judging from the intensity of the gunfire, it is probably the Fourth Army." Captain Kawamoto felt that he should not drag it out, in case it really is. The main force of the enemy is to lie about military information. "Baga, send someone to investigate the situation immediately and have your squadron go to the forward position immediately." Major Jiro Murata was not a fool, so he naturally understood what his subordinates meant. Because of the lack of troops, their brigade defended a large area. It is impossible to disperse all the soldiers in such a large area. That way if you are attacked, you may not have time to take care of him. Therefore, he would keep one or two squadrons as reserves, and another infantry squadron to defend important road sections. This is to prevent a sneak attack and provide quick support. As for whether he will be surrounded? Impossible.
They have been stationed in Yangcheng for two years. There has never been a time when the troops of the Fourth Theater were able to penetrate their positions quickly. "Hai." Captain Kawamoto responded quickly and respectfully. Here, Captain Kawamoto is leading his headquarters and is rushing to the forward position. The 176th Regiment of the 59th Division, led by commander Tang Lian, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in front. "Brothers, rush forward with me to kill the Japanese." "What we are getting now is fine art equipment." "It is a beautiful piece of equipment that only the Central Army can equip." "This is not the fire stick we had before." Tang Lian's voice echoed throughout the battlefield. For him, this was the first battle after changing his uniform. He has to play well. We must not lose the face of the Fourth Army. Behind them, the regiment's artillery company was setting up artillery to conduct a fierce bombardment of the front. Originally, according to the organization, it should be equipped with six 105mm caliber howitzers and six 120mm mortars. However, transporting howitzers is troublesome, and the terrain in Guangdong Province is complex, making it difficult to keep up with the infantry regiments. Therefore, Cun Yunsheng made his own initiative and replaced the six 105mm caliber howitzers with six 120mm mortars. Therefore, Tang Company's artillery battery has a total of 12 120mm mortars. Such firepower was unimaginable before. In addition to these, 81mm mortars and 60mm mortars have also been sent to the battalion and company level. Originally, Tang Company wanted to keep them all in the regimental artillery company. But Zhang Deneng scolded him. Let him stop being petty. Now they have no shortage of artillery. Since they are in accordance with the standards of the US military, it is natural to lower them to the battalion and company level. There is no way, I am afraid of being poor, and I am not used to being suddenly rich. Under the cover of artillery, the 176th Regiment roared and charged towards the Japanese position. The Japanese troops on the ground were immediately stunned. Is this still the Chinese army of the past?
In their knowledge, except for the main force, there are no decent artillery at all. The result? The 60mm and 81mm mortar shells hit their positions as if they were free. The always proud Japanese army was so beaten that they couldn't even lift their heads. More importantly, when their mortars began to counterattack. What greeted them was a 120mm heavy mortar. For a while, the Japanese army was not used to it. Who makes the other party's firepower several times stronger than theirs. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, so naturally I am not used to it. "Target the Japanese position, free fire, release." Following the order, sharp whistling sounds continued to pass through the air, and countless artillery shells began to fly towards the Japanese position. The shells exploded immediately after landing. Countless simple fortifications were torn apart without mercy, and the ground was littered with broken body fragments. "Baga, it's a heavy artillery, a Chinese heavy artillery. How is this possible?" "Why are there heavy artillery?" "Since when did they have heavy artillery?" "Why didn't the intelligence services tell us in advance?" "Baga Yalu, call the captain immediately and ask for tactical guidance." According to the logic of the Japanese army, artillery with a caliber exceeding 105mm is considered a heavy artillery. Therefore, the 120mm heavy mortar is also regarded as a heavy artillery. As a result, 12 120mm heavy mortars fired together, making the scalps of the Japanese troops on the front line numb. Originally, their fortifications were built in accordance with the previous China military firepower standards, and there were no problems. I never thought that the opponent would have a 120mm heavy mortar. And it’s still 12 doors. Who can handle this? All around were the tragic wails of Japanese soldiers. Looking at the Japanese camp shrouded in artillery fire in the distance, Tang Lian felt so comfortable. This was his first time commanding the 176th Regiment after it was equipped with fine art equipment, and he was really a little excited. At the same time, I also deeply felt the power of artistic equipment. The firepower is simply too strong. What's more important is that you don't have to worry about shell consumption.
"You little son of a bitch, I haven't killed you for a while, my hands are a little rusty." Tang Lian murmured through the telescope. "Brothers, have you seen it? I am avenging you, just wait, I will kill all these sons of **** sooner or later." His troops participated in the Battle of Changsha not long ago, but due to a severe shortage of ammunition, many soldiers could only fight with the Japanese with bayonets, resulting in heavy casualties. Now that I can take revenge, I am naturally very excited. "Signal Corps." "arrive!" "Also, tell the battalions and companies that I will see them break into the Japanese positions within half an hour." "Yes!" The communications soldier quickly turned around and issued combat orders. On the front line, Zhang Chu, commander of the third company of the 1st Battalion of the 176th Regiment, led the commando team and fought towards the Japanese positions regardless of the danger of stray bullets. Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! The Thompson submachine gun in his hand continued to pour out fury, flying towards the Japanese position like a long tongue in the dark night. Gou Ba! There was a gunshot, and a soldier beside Zhang Chu fell to the ground. It was obvious that Japanese troops were shooting in the distance. "Asshole, where's the mortar? Where's the mortar? Take away the little devil's firepower." Zhang Chu glanced at it, and then ordered the 60mm mortar soldiers who were following closely. In the past, this was used for fire support. The result is now fighting with the infantry. In other words, the 176th Regiment is a veteran unit, and the soldiers have combat experience. Only then did he dare to follow the infantry and provide support at any time. Of course, what's more important is that they have changed their equipment now, are rich and don't care about ammunition consumption. If it were other units, they would be suppressed by machine guns and then charged by infantry. But in order to break through the Japanese position as soon as possible, Zhang Chu was too lazy to do this. Direct mortars knocked out the Japanese firepower. He wanted to use powerful firepower to make the Japanese army feel what it was like to be bombed. They are taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is stunned and has not yet reacted. Once they react, the Japanese army's shooting advantage and the support of aircraft after dawn will cause their casualties to be even greater. boom! An explosion! The firepower point that was still firing just now was knocked out.
Seeing this, Zhang Chu immediately issued an order. "Come, charge with me, kill all the little devils." "yes." After saying that, the commando soldiers behind him followed Zhang Chu closely and rushed towards the Japanese position. "Baga, hold on quickly, we must not let the Chinese army rush over." "Where's the support? Where's our support?" "Where are our grenades?" "Nani? Everything was destroyed?" "Where's the cannon fodder support?" Captain Matsukawa was directing his men to block the attack. After the previous chaos, the Japanese army began to counterattack, but their firepower was far behind that of the opposite Chinese army. The shells constantly exploding around them became their biggest enemy, and the shrapnel flying everywhere made it impossible for the Japanese troops to hide. Especially the addition of the 120mm heavy mortar. Let the Japanese army have nowhere to hide. After a shell weighing more than 20 kilograms exploded, all Japanese troops within a radius of 30 square meters were killed or injured. Faced with such powerful firepower, they were simply unable to organize effective resistance. What's more important is that the shells from the opposite side are falling like crazy, showing no signs of stopping. Under such high-intensity bombardment, the Japanese army had an empty squadron, but could not organize an effective counterattack at all. This also made Captain Matsukawa furious. "Baga, Baga, why do the Chinese have heavy artillery?" Captain Matsukawa, until this moment, still couldn't believe why the Chinese army had so many heavy artillery. Looking at the falling shells, Captain Matsukawa's mood was as boiling as boiling water. He told him in his heart that this was not true, but the constant explosions in front of him told him that it was true. The China Army in his impression has now become extremely powerful. At this time, the gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the grenades thrown by the Chinese army attacking from the opposite side had already landed in their position. From time to time, some soldiers who were too late to dodge were taken away. However, the Japanese army still fired desperately, but the attacking Chinese army did not have the slightest fear and continued to charge forward while stepping on the corpses of their companions. boom! boom! boom! When they reached fifty meters, some soldiers with strong arms were able to throw grenades into the Japanese trenches. With the explosion of artillery shells, the entire Japanese position was shrouded in smoke.
"60mm mortar? 81mm mortar? There are also 120mm mortars. Why do they have such powerful firepower?" "Is this a division coming? And it's the Central Army? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such fierce artillery fire." "Baga, we can't go on like this. If we continue like this, the entire defense line will be in danger of collapse!" Captain Matsukawa went from being angry to being calm now. He knew that the opposite side was definitely not the Fourth Army. This kind of powerful firepower density is only available to Shancheng's newly refitted artillery troops. So the opposite side must be the Central Army. "Report the intelligence here to the captain, and tell him that the Central Army is on the opposite side. Their firepower density is far beyond our imagination. Please ask for tactical guidance." Captain Matsukawa's tone was very urgent. In fact, without Captain Matsukawa opening his mouth, Major Jiro Murata at the rear had already felt the intensity of the Chinese army's artillery fire. "This is definitely not the Fourth Army. It must be the Central Army pretending to be one. The intelligence is wrong." "Baga, these stupid guys." "Let Kuroda Squadron attack, be sure to block the attack of the Chinese Army, and report the battle situation here to the brigade commander. Our defense line is in danger, and we request tactical guidance." Major Jiro Murata said. "Hai." The lieutenant next to him responded immediately. "Major, I have a plan." "What's the plan?" Major Murata Jiro was staring at the distant position and asked subconsciously. "Let the Imperial Alliance Army launch a counterattack, and we can take the opportunity to destroy their artillery." The Japanese lieutenant said softly. Hearing this, Major Murata Jiro was stunned and subconsciously looked at the commander of the Imperial Association Corps not far away. "Li Sang, come here." Li Youquan cried with sadness when his name was called. He knew that it would be bad for the little devil to call him at this time. As expected, Major Jiro Murata said directly. "Li Sang, you immediately lead your troops to launch a counterattack against the Chinese army on the opposite side. You must drive the Chinese army out of our position. Do you understand?" "Ah?" Li Youquan was immediately dumbfounded. "Do you understand? As long as you get rid of them, I guarantee that you will become the division commander." Hearing this, Li Youquan cursed the little devil in front of him countless times in his heart. Even a fool could see that if he counterattacked at this time, wouldn't he be seeking death? And the firepower on the opposite side is very powerful. He has only a few people, but he still fights back? I'm afraid that I didn't just run halfway, and the birds and animals scattered. This little **** just wanted him to die, right?
If I had known earlier, what kind of traitor would I be? "Taijun, I don't have many people left. Can you..." Li Quanquan still wanted to struggle. As a result, Major Jiro Murata gave him a big dick. Bang bang! After the beating, he took out the tortoise box and faced Li Quanquan. "You, go now, or you will die." Major Jiro Murata was already red-eyed. At this time, someone must attract the firepower of the Chinese Army and then attack their artillery positions from the flanks. Only by destroying the artillery positions can the positions be held. "Hai." Under the threat of death, Li Youquan had no choice but to agree. The new book, please support me, it is also the leader type, but it is a prequel to the leader, the Liuzhou Defense Regiment that was despised by Long Wenwen! In addition, let me talk about the reasons for the late update. One is due to double-activation, and the other is that I went to the hospital to pick up someone from the hospital at around 9 o'clock this morning. I came back at 3 o'clock, then slept, and updated immediately when I got up! There is one more chapter, don’t rush! (End of chapter)
