He Feiyang's command was well prepared for the counterattack by the Japanese artillery unit.
Their first round of attack just now was all front-line troops, while the reserve troops and the Japanese artillery troops who had exposed their position as a counterattack, and the counterattack troops were on standby on the second line.
They used the field phone given by He Feiyang to conduct contact operations.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom."
As the Japanese artillery bombardment came again, He Feiyang's counterattack force had completely locked onto the location of these Japanese artillery pieces.
So they also quickly launched a counterattack and artillery attack.
"Brothers! Immediately launch an artillery counterattack and kill all these stupid devils!"
"Bombardment! Bombardment!"
Ren Zhicheng, the commander of the artillery company, after his artillery company locked the exposed position of the Japanese artillery troops, he quickly issued a combat order for artillery bombing.
Then, the eight Type 38 75mm field guns with improved gun mounts under him roared at the same time and carried out artillery bombardment.
For a moment, the earth shook and the sound of shelling and bombing resounded throughout the earth.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom."
For a time, both sides were bombarding each other with artillery fire.
It's just that on the Japanese side, both the artillery unit and the Japanese commander Yuki Nakajima and other Japanese officers were shocked by the counterattack of the Type 38 75mm field gun on He Feiyang's Japanese-style modified gun mount.
Type 38 field artillery is one of the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, and it is also one of the field suppression artillery with the largest equipment of the Japanese army.
The shooting accuracy of this old-fashioned artillery is relatively high.
The maximum range is more than 8,300 meters to over 10,000 meters away. Because the 38-type 75mm field gun awarded by He Feiyang's system is a model with an improved gun mount, it is farther than the model without an improved gun mount.
Of course, all the Japanese officers and soldiers, including the Japanese commander Yuki Nakajima, and the Japanese artillerymen were shocked, not because the bombing effect of this old-fashioned heavy artillery was too powerful.
But they had no idea where He Feiyang could get so many heavy artillery pieces from their empire.
You must know that when they usually fight with the National Army, the artillery model of the National Army that they see the most is the Bofors 75mm field gun.
Now, He Feiyang's artillery unit was uncharacteristically using their Japanese heavy artillery to carry out counterattacks.
Although the artillery used more often by the Japanese army is the Type 41 75mm howitzer and the Type 92 infantry gun, especially the Type 92 infantry gun of the Japanese army is the most frequently used weapon and equipment by the army.
But now faced with He Feiyang's unconventional way of counterattacking, the Japanese commander Yuki Nakajima and all the Japanese officers and soldiers under him were confused.
Of course, the most tragic thing in the end was the Japanese artillery units.
Because just when they were focusing all their energy and attention on bombing He Feiyang's Type 92 heavy machine gun troops and grenades deployed on the front line,
But all of a sudden, they were hit by the Japanese-style 38-type 75mm field artillery group with an improved gun mount that was also unexpected. The bombing caused heavy casualties. There were Japanese artillerymen and artillery team members who were bombed and injured everywhere, as well as many others.
The few Japanese artillery pieces were blown up in place.
There was smoke and fire everywhere, as well as the corpses of Japanese soldiers, which was shocking.
"Bagaya road!"
"These damn Chinese troops, where did they go to get our Type 38 75mm field artillery group?"
"First there are a large number of Type 92 heavy machine guns, as well as grenade groups, and now there is also our Type 38 75mm field artillery group. Which army are these damn Chinese troops from?"
"Are they the troops of our Imperial Army or the troops of the Chinese Army?"
"What are their numbers? Immediately ask the intelligence department to give me details about them. Stop all attacks immediately. Wait for these damn China Army's artillery counterattacks and bombings to be completed. Then immediately launch a charge and attack them in one fell swoop."
I conquer all their defenses!"
After seeing that most of his artillery unit was destroyed by the artillery unit commanded by He Feiyang, he immediately roared in pain and anger.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
And after his combat instructions were issued, the Japanese officers around him were also prepared to act according to the orders, and they quickly agreed in fear.
At this time, most of the Japanese officers and soldiers had come to their senses, and they were all surprised as to why He Feiyang's troops had so many Japanese heavy weapons and equipment to fight back against them.
Therefore, a rather terrifying idea appeared in the minds of many Japanese officers and soldiers inexplicably, that is, He Feiyang's troops might have killed many Japanese troops, and then gave away their weapons, equipment and ammunition to
Seized for use.
Therefore, at this moment, they paid unprecedented attention to the vigilance of He Feiyang's subordinates.
Otherwise, how else to explain why He Feiyang's troops were able to possess so many Japanese-style weapons, equipment, and ammunition for combat?
You must know that the general national army does not use their weapons and equipment, so these Japanese soldiers have such bizarre thoughts and speculations.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom."
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
But at this time, the shelling and bombardment of He Feiyang's Type 38 75mm field artillery group became even more fierce.
As well as the Type 92 heavy machine gun troops on the second front, they also began to operate their Type 92 heavy machine guns and continued to shoot and kill all the Japanese infantry they could target.
As for the Type 92 heavy machine gun troops and grenade launchers on the front line, they were covered by Japanese artillery fire and fought back, causing many casualties. Therefore, the surviving machine gunners and grenade launchers were
He also immediately retreated to the second line and joined the Sichuan soldiers here to carry out counterattacks.
So there was a second line of counterattack with heavy firepower, which was still very fierce.
As He Feiyang's troops launched an increasingly desperate counterattack, the Japs' troops quickly suffered heavy casualties. It didn't take long for the Japs in the two squadrons to be wiped out on the cotton fields and turned into cannon fodder.
Or maybe he was shot down by a group of Type 92 heavy machine guns and became a hornet's nest like existence, and died in battle.
Looking at the rapidly changing battle situation in front of us, with rapid casualties,
Japanese commander Yuki Nakajima was horrified and stunned.
The surviving Japanese officers around him also had their eyes widened, swallowed, and had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
