Chapter 123: Mice in the Mountains
"Why is Zhongbatan's resistance so strong!?"
The second wave of Japanese attacks was repelled, and the Chinese artillery fire also caused heavy casualties to the follow-up troops. Standing on the top of Nantianmen Mountain, Takeuchi Rianshan was furious.
"Damn the Chinese, order the artillery to continue striking in that direction, especially the artillery positions behind them!"
"Let the troops crossing the river behind speed up and order Yoshioka to immediately organize a third wave of attacks. If the upstream position cannot be defeated, let him have a disembowelment to apologize!"
"はい! Waka immediately go to the west!" The chief of staff next to him immediately replied.
After Takeuchi said this, he ignored it and turned around with his telescope to look in the direction of the waterline.
At this time, the launch line was also under heavy artillery fire. Seeing that the Chinese were not fooled, Takeuchi arranged for three brigades to perform a frontal feint attack, intending to contain the Chinese here and prevent them from dividing their troops to support the upper reaches.
The Second Battalion of the Sichuan Army Corps has rushed to the launch line. The two main regiments of Yu Division and Liao Mingyu's guard battalion are stationed here. The defense force of five to six thousand people is placed here like a huge rock mountain, making it difficult for the Japanese army to attack.
It was a shame.
Takeuchi refused to give up. He kept sending troops to conduct probing attacks, and at the same time continued to increase troops upstream. As soon as he waited for the breakthrough on the Zhongba Beach, he would immediately order his troops to pretend to attack and turn into a main attack, attacking from both sides to attack the east bank.
All Chinese people!
But despite all his calculations, he failed to predict that Liao Mingyu would be able to rush to the east bank of the river defense quickly, especially in the upstream direction. Five diamond trucks carrying 4 tons transported Li Liansheng's artillery battalion to the rear of Zhongba Beach at the fastest speed, and successfully
It curbed the pace of the Japanese charge and made their attack extremely difficult.
The sound of gunfire resounded throughout both sides of the Nu River. Both sides tried their best to kill the other side. But if they were not careful, they would be doomed.
The artillery fire at Zhongba Beach continued, and the Japanese artillery counterattack also arrived as scheduled.
Li Liansheng's position was hidden behind a hillside. Although many of the Japanese artillery shells were blocked by the mountain, a few shells still flew over their heads and hit them hard in the back. In order to avoid unnecessary losses,
He quickly arranged for the infantry cannons at the rear to move forward.
…
"Ha Ya Ku! Let the troops rearrange themselves. Don't stop the troops crossing the river. Are you still a warrior of the empire if you are timid?"
Yoshioka was the captain who commanded the attack on Nakaba Beach. If the soldiers beside him hadn't reminded him in time, he might have already gone to see their Amaterasu.
The artillery fire from our own counterattack gave the Yoshioka brigade on the riverside a breather. He quickly gathered the retreating soldiers and waited for the third brigade coming from behind. Although it was not safe to huddle on the beach, the resistance of the Chinese people was too strong.
Once they are strong, only by concentrating their forces again can they have a chance to break through their defenses.
The order from the commander came down, asking him to immediately organize a third attack and capture the enemy's position no matter what. If he still failed... he would have to be ordered to have his belly disemboweled!
Such a humiliating ending would be worse than dying on the battlefield. So this time, Yoshioka decided to step forward personally and break their position no matter how high the price was.
…
At the same time, in a forest behind Nantianmen, a group of people wearing weeds and branches were lurking here.
This group of people is the First Company of the Sichuan Army Corps that has sneaked over. They are crawling in the dense bushes, as if they are integrated with the surrounding environment. Looking at it, they have no idea that there are more than 200 fully equipped soldiers hidden here.
Soldier.
At this moment, Long Wenwen, along with Yaoma and a dozen of them, were lying in the bushes not far from the hillside behind Nantianmen.
"Boom boom boom..."
At a distance of seven to eight hundred meters in front of them, 16 75mm field guns were lined up in three diagonal rows. The Japanese artillery was busy loading and firing. There was also an infantry squadron stationed here, guarding the artillery vigilantly.
position.
"Load!"
"No. 1 has been loaded... No. 2 has been loaded... No. 3 has been loaded..."
"Wute!"
"Boom boom boom boom...!"
The inclined muzzle continuously burst out with blazing fire. The Japanese army set up this artillery position on the reverse slope, which can not only attack the enemies on the east bank, but also effectively avoid the enemy's artillery counterattack.
They must have observers on the top of the mountain, constantly feeding back the enemy's position and shooting data, so that they can quickly make adjustments so that the artillery shells can accurately hit the position on the opposite bank.
"Ge Laozi's bombardment has been going on for a long time and it still doesn't stop. It's dead. Are we going to fight or not?" Yaoma slowly crawled over and touched Long Wenwen's shoulder and asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, can't you see there is a squadron of Japs over there? And these are all 75mm field guns. I remember the regimental commander said, didn't the other party come over with a few 105mm heavy guns? They don't seem to be here.
." Long Wenwen said with some regret.
It seems that Takeuchi Renshan, a cunning old devil, divided his artillery unit into two positions. Those 105 heavy artillery should be on the other side of the mountain. What a pity.
Forget it, 75 guns will be 75 guns. If you kill this artillery, the little devil will be scared.
"Signal soldier, come here."
"What's going on? This place is too far away from the east coast, and we've already passed the communication distance. It's useless to call the communications troops." Kaname said helplessly.
They have gone about 5 kilometers deep. In this dense jungle, walkie-talkie communication is very affected. Basically, they can only communicate within one kilometer. It is impossible to contact the artillery battalion that far away.
"You are the only one smart, I don't know?"
Long Wenwen rolled his eyes at him, took out a map from his body, and calculated the approximate distance by tracing the coordinates on the map.
At this time, the communications soldier also came to him. Long Wenwen raised his head and asked him: "Boy, do you have a pen and paper with you?"
"have."
The communication soldiers quickly took out paper and pen. This was Liao Mingyu's request for their communication personnel. They must record when transmitting and receiving orders. All of them were equipped with notebooks and pencils.
Long Wenzhang nodded, took it and quickly wrote down a string of data. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to the communications soldier:
"Immediately take the walkie-talkie back to the riverside and contact the artillery battalion. Use this position as a circle point, and give me half a base with a deviation of 500 meters from left to right."
Some time ago, the Sichuan Army Corps had been conducting harassing shelling against the Japanese army. During that half-month, Long Wenwen stayed in the artillery camp every day, pestering Krupp to teach him how to fire artillery.
He is quick-witted and intelligent and understands it as soon as he learns it. Now he still has a certain understanding of artillery data. Although he does not know the artillery shooting world as well as a professional artilleryman, he can still calculate the target shooting distance from the map.
"yes!"
The communications soldier took the note without saying a word, quickly turned around and ran back with his equipment.
"It's dead, it's dead, is this okay? Krupp may not be able to hit it." Kaname saw his intention, but also asked with some worry.
"Hitting is the best, but it doesn't matter if you don't hit. As long as you can attract the little devil's attention, hehe..." Long Wenwen said with a grin.
The ammunition of the first company has been consumed a lot. Although the new weapons are powerful, the bullet consumption is too high. Now they are alone and cannot be replenished, and there are many people on the Japanese artillery position.
If you want to fight, you have to make a sudden attack on him. If the battle cannot be resolved in a short while, the opponent's support comes and your side is out of bullets, it will be over.
As long as the shells can hit a target, the little devil will have a greater chance of being panicked.
Long Wenwen squinted his eyes and looked at the dozen 75 field guns in front of him, and a sly smile appeared on his lips. He was sure to eat this feast today!
"Go, let the brothers behind you come up immediately and prepare for an assault!"
