Chapter 175: Bloody Battle of Erpu (first update)

"Boom boom boom" At noon, the sun shone brightly. Two infantry corpses of the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division, with the cooperation of the artillery corps directly under the division, launched an attack on the defensive position of the Erpu Town, the National Salvation Army.

After learning that the Chinese defenders had strong firepower, Mitsusaburo Akiyama, the commander of the 127th Brigade, who was responsible for commanding the attack, did not rush to give way to the infantry charge, but ordered the field artillery corps and the artillery squadrons of the infantry corps to launch violent artillery bombardment on the first regiment position.

"My roar...boom...boom..." The sharp whistling of shells and the explosion after landing were surrounded by rolling smoke.

On the front line of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment, the first company commander Zhao Quan ran back and forth in the trenches. Although this was very dangerous, he had to do so because the new recruits were likely to lose control and run around under the shock of the Japanese artillery fire.

As their chief, he is responsible for them.

"Don't move around, let me hang out." Zhao Quan opened his voice and shouted loudly as he moved.

Zhao Quan braved the Japanese artillery fire to a fox pit. He saw a new recruit lying in the trench with his hands in his arms, but his butt was sticking out, and it seemed that he was almost equal to the bunker.

Zhao Quan stepped forward and kicked the recruit's fat buttocks and scolded, "Donkey Ri, are you sticking your butt as a cover? Or do you want to fart? Donkey Rich? Don't want to die and lie down well for me."

The recruit was kicked and hurriedly fell down. The reason why he was so scared by the earth-shaking explosion was not because of his intention.

"Brothers, don't be too scared. The sound of the Japanese cannons sounds scary, but it's not the case. The more you are afraid, the more the shells will fall to you. Be energetic. Our artillery will soon fight back. At that time, it will be enough for the Japanese to have a fucking pot." Zhao Quan saw that many new recruits were frightened and said loudly to everyone.

………………………………………

At the same time, there was a Tuantuan headquarters in Erpu Town.

The second battalion commander Qi Delong said anxiously: "Roun, the Japanese artillery is too rampant. You should order our artillery to fight back."

"No hurry." The commander of the regiment, Feng Kuang, waved his hand and continued to smoke, saying: "The Japanese plane has not appeared yet, so don't worry. Now the Japanese artillery is in the open and our artillery is in the dark. I have ordered the artillery battalion to lock the position of the Japanese artillery position. After the Japanese plane appears and return, the artillery can fire immediately. A time difference will be taken to kill the Japanese. After killing the Japanese artillery position, our artillery will have enough time to transfer the positions without worrying about being attacked by the Japanese airplane."

Qi Delong thought about it and couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, why didn't I expect it?"

"Or what if I'm the leader of the regiment." Feng Kuang threw the cigarette butt that was left with only one small piece of left to the ground and twisted it hard with his feet and said, "Okay, hurry up and go back to your post. Your second battalion will take the lead this time, and you must not be careless. No matter how powerful the Japanese's offensive is, you must hold it back."

"I'm asking the team to rest assured. With my second battalion here, the Japanese will not be able to move forward." Qi Delong stood attentively, then turned around and strode away.

As expected, before the Japanese artillery bombardment was over, more than a dozen Japanese planes were ordered to arrive at Erpu Town. In order to cooperate with the 114th Division and the 9th Division, the Japanese Central China Front Army directly under the Third and Fourth Air Corps were dispatched to provide air support to the 13th Division and the 9th and 114th Divisions in Fengyang respectively.

Among them, the Japanese aircraft deployed to Fengyang took more than 200 orders in just half a day. However, due to the large number of air defense weapons equipped by the National Salvation Army that attacked Fengyang, the Japanese aircraft participating in the Battle of Fengyang also suffered serious losses.

Half of the dozen Japanese aircraft were bombers. Under the guidance of fighter jets, seven or eight bombers began to pour bombs into Erpu Town.

"其其...其..." Aerial bombs fell down a group of positions with sharp and harsh roars. The first thing that caught them was the second camp position at the forefront.

"Boom...Boom" A series of muffled explosions accompanied by the sky-sky firelight covered the entire second camp's position. In the firelight, soldiers unfortunately died from time to time. To make matters worse, the Japanese fighter jets also began to dive strafuse at low altitudes.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion who had nowhere to dodge were shot and fell into the trenches. Qi Delong, the commander of the Second Battalion who had just returned from the regiment headquarters, was furious when he saw this. He held a mg34 universal machine gun placed in the command post of his own battalion headquarters and said to a accompanying adjutant: "Come here, hold the gun for me."

The adjutant hurried forward, grabbed the feet of the universal machine gun with both hands, and raised the muzzle high.

"Ammunition hand, give me another ammunition hand," Qi Delong looked around and shouted loudly.

Seeing this, another guard hurried forward and acted as ammunition hand to deliver ammunition to Qi Delong's general machine gun.

Everything was ready, Qi Delong opened his throat with a ferocious face and began to roar: "Little Japanese, **Your grandma, come on." Before he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

The mg34 universal machine gun that had been silent suddenly began to roar, and the scarlet tongue of flames came out of the muzzle and rushed straight into a Japanese plane in the sky.

mg34 general-purpose machine gun has a large caliber and a fast firing rate. In the original history, it was originally the main air defense weapon of German tanks and armored vehicles.

The huge vibration made the adjutant who was holding the gun in front of him feel miserable, but he didn't say a word, grabbed the feet and raised the mg34, which weighed more than ten kilograms, high.

Qi Delong had no experience in air defense, and his muzzle was aimed at the Japanese plane to shoot. As a result, most of the dense bullets fell into vain. Seeing that the two hundred and fifty metal bullet chains were shortened rapidly, he was not even injured in the Japanese plane hair, Qi Delong couldn't help but be angry.

This is the guard next to him reminded: "Battleman, the Japanese plane flew too fast, and he missed our bullets. Why don't you aim the gun in front of the Japanese plane to try."

Qi Delong moved the gun slightly as he spoke, and a Japanese plane was sweeping towards them.

"Come on, my dog, grandpa, please give you a gun." Qi Delong roared repeatedly and pulled the trigger continuously. The mg34, which had a very fast firing rate, burst out with amazing power. The dense 7.92mm bullets gathered into a hot tongue of flame and rushed to the high altitude in front of the Japanese plane.

"Bang bang bang" The Japanese plane that was diving quickly hit the hot flame head-on. The extremely powerful rain of bullets instantly penetrated the weak armor of the Japanese Type 95 fighter. The pilot inside was shot dead on the spot. The Type 95 fighter also began to rise and fell to a high altitude, landing on the open space hundreds of meters away and exploded.

Seeing that a companion was shot down, the remaining Japanese fighter jets hurriedly protected the bomber group that had already dropped bombs and returned in a hurry.

Seeing this, Qi Delong burst into laughter. He was about to put down his gun, but found that the adjutant in front stood still and had no reaction.

Qi Delong felt nervous and hurriedly stepped forward to check. He saw that the adjutant glared at the front of him, and there were two bloody holes in front of his chest, which were obviously dead.

"Old Cao" Qi Delong was deeply saddened and burst into tears.

"Kill Gaga" on the Japanese position, the major general of the 127th Brigade, who was very satisfied with the results of this shelling, Akiyama Mitsusaburo waved his command knife and ordered loudly.

The offensive troops, which had been preparing for a long time, were dispatched and launched an attack on a regiment of positions under the cover of several Type 89 tanks and Type 91 armored vehicles.

"Battleman, the Japanese are coming." The guard pointed at the front and shouted loudly.

Qi Delong slowly put down the body of the adjutant Lao Cao. It took a lot of effort to spread the hands of Lao Cao's tight clenched apart, held the mg34 general machine gun and said to the guard behind him: "Let's go, follow me."

"Yes" The young guard felt his blood boiling in his body, and immediately stepped forward and responded with a loud bang. He immediately picked up the ammunition box and followed Qi Delong to the front line of the trench.

In the first regiment, Feng Kuang put down the telescope in his hand and saw that the Japanese had launched an attack on the second camp's position. He turned his head and shouted: "Communication officer, notify the artillery battalion and fire the artillery immediately, and bombard him hard and avenge the dead brothers."

"Yes," the communication soldier beside Hou responded loudly, and then quickly took the order and left.

Suddenly, five artillery howitzers (one and a half battalions) of the Second Division Artillery Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, fired one after another.

Dozens of German 105 howitzers were continuously exerting their power, and a high-explosive bomb weighing more than 30 kilograms dragged the long scarlet flames and fell into the Japanese artillery position.

The entire Japanese artillery position suddenly fell into a sea of ​​fire. Amid the explosion of the high-explosive bombs, Japanese 75 field cannons were blown up one after another, and the parts were thrown high by huge air waves and smashed down fiercely. Some Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to be killed by their own artillery parts were unlucky to be killed by their own artillery parts.

Major General Akiyama Hirosaburo, who was sitting in the frontier command post waiting for the attacking troops, stood up in horror, with disbelief on his face: "Baga, the cunning Dichina man actually hid such a powerful artillery unit, and immediately called the air force."

The adjutant officer next to him said with a grim expression: "General, you forgot that our aviation force has just returned."

When Akiyama Hirosaburo heard this, his face suddenly dimmed. It was over, the 120th Field Artillery Regiment was about to be wiped out this time.

The artillery position of the 120th Artillery Regiment of the Japanese was set up in an open space not far from the division headquarters. A shocking explosion suddenly sounded in the direction of the artillery position, and the division commander was immediately alarmed by the state troops.

He got up and walked out of the headquarters quickly, looked towards the position of the artillery corps in the sound, and asked in shock: "Isoda, what's going on?"

Standing behind him, Saburo Isoda held the telescope with a heavy face and said, "It seems that our artillery corps was bombarded."

"How could this happen to Bagaya Road? How could this be the idiot Akiyama Kosamro command the despicable Chinese people with such a powerful artillery force?" The Huozhou soldiers roared in anger.

PS: The first update is here, please guarantee the monthly ticket. Isn't this a bit too shabby? Lao Zuo is several votes higher than us, and he is crying without tears. The warriors of the Empire, show our bayonets and stab the bitch of Lao Zuo's snippet hard. Please
