my bright sword career

Chapter 197
With the help of scout balloons, the Japanese artillery positions were clearly visible in the observer's binoculars.

"Reset the bearing, the bearing is 567, the distance is 12280, the ammunition is fired instantly, and the grenade is fired three times rapidly..."

The gunners of the No. [-] Pao Battalion who received the instruction from the balloon immediately shook the cannon body, and the gunner reset the firing table according to the command of the commander, and then pulled the gun rope.

Huaxia artillery will never be passively beaten, and offense will always be the fundamental creed of artillery.

Amidst the deafening sound of artillery, bursts of violent explosions brought thousands of degrees of high temperature and countless steel fragments tore the artillery array of the Japanese 96-type field artillery.

The screams of the shells flew over the Qianqiu Bridge, and the air and the ground were violently twitching and trembling.

Hundreds of Japanese gunners are busy on the battlefield. These Japanese gunners can be regarded as battle-hardened. They knew nothing about their opponents when they fought against the Liantai militia for the first time. They only received one order, that is to use The fastest speed will destroy the artillery position of the Huaxia Army located in the front left.

It was just that the shelling had just begun, and with a piercing whistling sound, the dense shells, mixed with fire and death, slammed down like a collapsing mountain.

"Moxi Moxi! I'm Koizumi, I'm Koizumi!" On the smoky artillery position, a dusty major was shouting anxiously into the phone, but the phone was quiet, and there was no movement at all.

"Baga, the Chinese blew up the phone line." Shao Zuo angrily dropped the phone and cursed.

boom!A fireball rose into the air, and a piece of shrapnel flew in. Hot blood was sprinkled on a soldier who was carrying the shells. Koizumi's head was cut off in half by the shrapnel, and the entire gun mount was covered with brains and blood. Standing there in a daze, at this moment another shell fell on the ground, the huge shock wave and the soaring gunpowder smoke made them ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

Compared with the Japanese artillery who were killed by shrapnel, Ishihara Wanji, the division commander, was naturally much safer.

Although he arrived in a hurry, in the interval of these few hours, the engineering troops still tried their best to dig an underground bunker several meters deep and more than 50 square meters wide for him.

"boom……"

As the underground bunker shook violently, the officers in the bunker bent down involuntarily. Only Ishihara smiled and stood motionless in front of the map, with a rather cloudy expression on his face.

"The 96-type field artillery brigade of the Artillery Wing was suppressed by China's heavy artillery. Since China's heavy artillery has a range far beyond our artillery, we have nothing to do with them in the artillery battle. All our artillery can do is to face China's artillery. The infantry positions are bombarded." Chief of Staff Mitsuo Nakazawa stood upright, and reported the battle situation to Ishihara Wanji sternly.

"No wonder... no wonder the 41st Division lost so badly." Ishihara sighed and finally moved his body. He turned his head and asked Nakazawa Sanfu, "Mr. Zhongze, if I remember correctly, you once participated in the Have you ever fought the battle to capture Nanjing in China?"

"Yes." Mitsuo Nakazawa bowed and said, "At that time, I had the honor to participate in the capture of Nanjing with Your Excellency Nakajima Konzago."

Ishihara smiled and saw a hint of arrogance flashing in the eyes of Sanfu Nakazawa, and asked calmly: "So, you are considered an old man of the Sixteenth Division, so tell me, today's What is the difference between the Chinese militia and the Chinese army you have encountered before?"

"different?"

The arrogance in Sanfu Nakazawa’s eyes was swept away, and he smiled wryly: “If I didn’t know that I was standing on the land of China, I would have thought that I was fighting against the most elite German Wehrmacht.

To be honest, the army on the opposite side is much more sophisticated than the imperial army. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a well-equipped and well-trained army in China. force. "

"Yes." Ishihara Waner also sighed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I believe it, but the facts are right in front of us, no matter how reluctant we are, we have to believe that the army in front of us is indeed Chinese. Yes, and the most incredible thing is a local militia.”

Speaking of this, a rare trace of confusion appeared in Ishihara Waner's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and his face became cold, "But because of this, we must eliminate them at all costs, especially Gao Hongming This person must be completely destroyed.

You immediately order Major General Cao Changchen to launch an attack on the Chinese position from the right wing. I don't ask how violent his attack is, but it must be continuous and give the Chinese people the greatest pressure.

I admit that the artillery fire of the Chinese is indeed more advanced than that of the empire, and the range is much longer, but so what?The Empire has absolute military strength and air superiority.

Besides, Gao Hongming and his militia were based in the original base.In the words of the Chinese people, it belongs to the Laoshi expedition. The ammunition they carry must be limited. We can make full use of these advantages and slowly oppress them, like using a noose to strangle them tightly, making them breathless. , And then watched myself die! "

Ishihara Waner is indeed qualified to say that, around the Qianqiu Bridge today, all the troops of the 16th and 108th divisions are gathered, the number alone is more than four or five times that of Gao Hongming, and they also have air superiority.

Although today's air strikes and artillery battles have suffered a lot of losses, don't forget that Japan is an industrial powerhouse. Its industrial resources, manpower and material resources are by no means what a mere militia can compete with. Anyone with normal thinking will not I think Gao Hongming has a chance of winning, let alone someone like Ishihara Waner.

General Chen Cheng of the later generation once said: Japanese generals are usually short in stature, and their tactics are not innovative, but from the generals to the sergeants, the command and operations are rigid, and they are always strictly in accordance with the infantry drills. error.

The same is true now. Under the orders of Ishihara Wanji and Iwase Takehiko, the 16th Division and the 108th Division each sent a squadron to launch a tentative attack on the first line of defense.

"Kill it..."

Looking at the Japanese troops pouring in like a tide on both sides, the expressions of the officers and soldiers in the first battalion were extremely serious.

Wu Chengfeng led two guards to shuttle back and forth on the ground, shouting loudly: "Listen up, everyone, these are the vanguard of the devils, they are only here for fire reconnaissance, and each company can only dispatch two machine guns. All firepower must not be exposed."

"The battalion commander...the devils have reached 300 meters!" someone shouted nearby.

"Why are you still standing there... open fire right away... kill the devil!"
