Not to mention that Nobita Nobita was thinking about how to save his own life. Seeing the 89 main battle tank being beaten into a big torch, the most panicked thing was probably the last two 94 tanks still on the hillside.
Seeing how they turned their butts directly towards the mountain and fled down the mountain at full speed, you can imagine the panic in the hearts of these Japanese armored soldiers who are still alive.
The Type 94 is flexible, but that is compared to a behemoth like a tank. When they turned their heads regardless and pointed the butt of the car at the two anti-tank guns that were becoming more and more handy, it was like a hunter saw it.
Wild boar with broken legs.
Moreover, there was no firepower on the battlefield at this time that could threaten them. The rain of bullets thrown by the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army at the rear were ruthlessly blocked by sandbags. Even if there were bullets that passed through the specially reserved shooting holes, they would be blocked by the battle defense.
The steel shield equipped with the gun itself blocked it.
Guns can never defeat cannons. This is a characteristic of the battlefield of this era.
War defense artillery can be fired without any scruples!
The two artillery pieces each fired at a Type 94 tank. Each fired almost 10 shots, chasing the two Type 94 tanks with cold eyes to a distance of more than 800 meters from the position.
That was perhaps the most embarrassing moment after the Japanese armored troops arrived on the battlefield in China. They were like quails fleeing. They had no resistance during the whole process and only had the word "escape" in front of them.
‘Shame!’ These are probably the two words that most frequently pop up in the hearts of all the Japanese infantrymen who still insist on lying on the hillside.
However, these two words may not be enough to describe the performance of the Japanese armored forces in this battle.
After losing the 89 tanks with tank guns, the two Type 94 tanks were no match for the anti-tank guns. For the reason of preserving the empire's heavy weapons, a reasonable retreat actually made sense.
Besides, whether it is shameful or not, only living people can always feel it.
Surviving the battlefield is a kind of success.
It's a pity that I couldn't escape.
The first 94 tank that was hit by a shell and fell on the hillside like a drunkard only ran 150 meters.
So, the two anti-tank guns focused their fire on the last Little Ghost.
Relying on its flexible positioning, the 94 tanks that retreated crazily even ran past the infantry artillery position that had just been ravaged by mortars.
But, its good luck ends here.
Two shells hit the tail of the tank one after another. Flames visible to the naked eye burned from the engine position. The Type 94, whose speed suddenly dropped sharply, barely ran forward for more than ten meters and stopped. Two shells roared in again.
, once again hit the unlucky child who was about to enter the mountains and completely escape the sight of the artillery.
Black smoke and flames shot up again, like a bonfire, burning right in front of the Japanese frontline headquarters.
No armored soldiers tried to escape from the tank, because when the second wave of shells hit the tank, the high temperature generated when the tungsten-core shells penetrated the steel plate and rubbed against them had already killed them inside the tank.
The morale of the Japanese infantry on the hillside fell to the bottom.
The two frontline infantry squads, who claimed to be desperate, were lying on the hillside with no intention of climbing up. It was their last limit to be able to keep shooting at the Chinese soldiers on the position.
It was not until ten minutes later that the Japanese troops in the rear finally sounded the hand-cranked siren.
Seeing the Japanese troops retreating like a tide, the Chinese soldiers on the mountain also breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time, they did not pursue the victory.
In fact, they are almost at the end of their rope.
Not because of the casualties, but because of the unprecedented crazy consumption of ammunition reserves. Even if they knew that they would be replenished three times after the war, the infantry company commanders on the front line were heartbroken.
However, whether the Japanese retreated or not, they could not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai position. They had to use this rare moment to send the wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the back of the mountain.
Then, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.
The two armies, which were still fighting in a bloody battle just now, put down their guns and each carried their wounded and remains, one way down the mountain and the other up the mountain.
For more than ten minutes, not a single gunshot was fired, and not even the imaginary Japanese artillery fire came again.
Of course, both warring parties knew that this calm was only short-lived.
It is always the quietest before the storm.
Nobita Nobita Shao Zuo also received a strict order from Koshiminami Goto, cutting off his last thoughts.
If he, a young soldier in the army, wanted to survive, he had to break through the Chinese position in front of him, otherwise, he would die on the front line.
Although Goto Koshiminami, the captain of the 108th Infantry Regiment, is not directly under the command, and a major leftist does not have the right to execute a minor leftist, Nobita Nobita knows that if he fails to fight effectively, the 108th Infantry Division leader who is famous for his brutality will
The army's left wing must be able to do it.
Because of this battle, unlike in the past, there were more than 2,500 imperial officers and soldiers and huge baggage in urgent need of the army in front of them to rescue them. A big label was slapped on him for his poor combat skills that led to the failure of the rescue. Not to mention that he could not carry it as a young man, even the middle
Even the commander of the division can't do it. If he uses Shao Zuo's head to pay for this defeat, if he doesn't do it right, the commander of the division will slap him in the back.
However, Nobita Nobita was not willing to be the victim of a certain leftist's hostility. After receiving the military order "If you fail, you will die!", he immediately requested Goto Koshiminami: "There are insufficient infantry on the front line, please ask for more troops."
Reinforce 1 to 2 infantry squadrons, otherwise, I will ask His Excellency Kudo Daizuo for a battle, and personally become the captain of the death squad, and lead the team to charge at the forefront of the entire army!"
This is a request, but also a hint of threat.
Kudo Daizuo is the captain of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, Nobita Nobita's immediate boss. What Nobita Nobita means is, as long as you don't give me enough soldiers, but you want me to fight this battle, okay, then I will report to my immediate superior.
Go and be the captain of the death squad. If you die, you, the bastard, will be the one who forces you to death.
The command structure of the 108th Division is like this. Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan, the commander of the division, is naturally the well-deserved boss. He also has a chief of staff of the left and two major general brigade commanders, and then counting, there are four left.
The captain of the infantry regiment and the four captains of the cavalry, artillery, engineering, and carriage teams. These 12 people are basically the top building of the 108th Division.
Perhaps Goto Koshiminami had the support of Shimo Kumamoto and his colleagues at the same level who were not afraid of him, but on the battlefield, he had a reputation for forcing the young captain Zuo of the 1st Battalion of the 103 Infantry Regiment who was temporarily assigned to his command to death.
He is a stinker on the streets. Once word gets out, who among the other captains of the Left Alliance will still 'play' with him in the future?
Do they all have reason to believe that when their subordinates cooperate with his 108th Infantry Regiment in combat, they may be sent to the front line as cannon fodder?
And more importantly, for an infantry captain who has been collectively ostracized by everyone, I wonder if Xiong Yuan can still support him as before.
The answer is also obvious.
After receiving the desperate Nobita Nobita's request, Goto Koshiminan's face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.
How could he, a young leftist in the army, not even be afraid of death? He believed that as long as no reinforcements were sent, a telegram would be sent to the headquarters of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, which was still dozens of kilometers away.
.
But, he is not Amaterasu, who can just randomly conjure up a bunch of soldiers?
As a front-line commander, Nobi Nobita already commands three infantry squadrons with nearly 600 people, and he only has a total of 1,500 people, which sounds like a lot, but that is the strength of infantry, artillery, armor, cavalry, and baggage troops.
.
The total number of infantry that can directly reach the front line does not exceed a thousand.
"Baga! A bunch of idiots from the 103rd Regiment!" When thinking of this, Goto Koshiminami couldn't help but roar.
If Hiroshi Omura hadn't taken away three infantry squadrons, met the Chinese on a narrow road and suffered a disastrous defeat, why would he have done this?
He wanted Komura Hiro to return to the team with the remaining defeated soldiers, but when he heard his casualty report, more than 200 people were killed and more than 200 wounded. Even because of the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, most of the remains were not taken away.
....
Goto Koshiminami knew that it was not necessary.
When a bunch of corpses and wounded people arrive, the already low morale will be greatly reduced. Moreover, can you expect a group of soldiers who have just returned from a major defeat to charge again?
In short, what put him, the left wing of the army, in a difficult situation was the idiots from the 103rd Infantry Regiment, and now they are threatening him.
It is impossible not to send more reinforcements. In the battle just now, the armored squadron suffered the heaviest losses. The captain, one Type 89 tank and four Type 94 tanks were destroyed by the Chinese, but the frontline infantry also suffered nearly a hundred losses.
.
And that was just the second round of attack!
Rubbing his sore forehead, Goto Koshiminami finally made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life: "Order, the third squadron of heavy equipment, the second and third squadron of the wing's escort squadron, to support the front line."
The so-called wing guard squadron is similar to the function of the guard company of the Chinese infantry regiment. The one who can follow Goto Koshiminami, the leader of the left wing, is naturally the guard squadron of the 108th Infantry Regiment, which is currently under Goto Koshiminami's command.
The only unit directly under the command, the combat effectiveness is obviously the strongest.
As for the third squadron of baggage soldiers, it sounds like it is not of a high level, but it has a lot of people, with 200 people. Originally, this march was responsible for transporting food, ammunition and other important baggage to the army. I didn't expect to work as engineers for the artillery.
, but also to pick up a gun and directly participate in front-line combat. When receiving this military order, the Japanese heavyweights, young and old, were probably crazy in their hearts.
This military order caused the Japanese army's front-line infantry strength to increase sharply to 800. The strength comparison with the current two infantry battalions of the 769th Regiment is basically 1:1.5. If the firepower, geographical advantages, and technical and tactical levels are taken into account, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is actually about the same.
on a horizontal line.
After all, although the Japanese army lost four infantry guns and five tanks, they still had 8 artillery pieces, 7 tanks, and nearly ten heavy machine guns, and they still had an absolute advantage in firepower.
No, in addition, Nobita Nobita, who had been driven crazy, also took out a rarely used artillery - the Type 94 90-caliber mortar.
Yes, you heard it right, the Japanese Army is also equipped with mortars. This is not a patent of the Chinese Army.
However, the Japanese army rarely used it.
The reason is very simple. This thing is too useless for the Japanese Army.
For short-range, the Japanese infantry squadrons are equipped with 50-caliber grenade launchers, with an effective range of 500 meters, which can basically meet all the needs of the 500-meter range; for long-range, the Japanese infantry brigade is equipped with 92 infantry cannons, that thing
It can be used as a direct-aiming cannon, or as a curved cannon similar to a howitzer, with a range of more than 3,000 meters, so it's not too convenient.
Then, are mortars useful?
Looking at the two bulky Type 94 90mm mortars set up by the artillery squad directly under the brigade, the vein on the left side of Nobita Nobita's forehead couldn't help but jump.
That's right, compared to the 82-caliber mortars that are heavily equipped by the Chinese army and weigh more than 60 kilograms, the Japanese Type 94 90-caliber mortar is extremely powerful in terms of caliber alone.
But...Japan's outstanding military engineers are once again brain-dead.
The Type 94 mortar, with a total weight of 175 kilograms, is too heavy. It is almost as heavy as the 92 infantry gun. Although the 2.6 kilogram heavy projectile is much more powerful than the Chinese army's 82 mortar, with a range of 3800 meters.
Also be far away.
But what the Japanese Army, which is in an offensive posture, needs more is the ability to attack fortresses. This kind of mortar with limited damage to fixed fortifications is compared with the Chinese army's mortars to see who can shoot more accurately. Who is more powerful?
?
Although the 82 mortar of the Chinese army is less powerful, its 60 kilogram weight can allow four soldiers to pick up the gun and run away. The Type 94 can be served by at least a dozen artillerymen. The mobility of the two is completely different.
on the horizontal line.
Therefore, the Japanese infantry regiment only gave the military factory face and was equipped with six symbolic guns. Basically, each infantry brigade was equipped with two guns.
However, the Japanese infantry brigade would not use this useless artillery unless it was a critical moment.
But now, it is obvious that we have reached a critical juncture.
Nobita Nobita gritted his teeth and ordered the artillery team directly under him to unseal the two large mortars that had been sealed.
This means that China still has to withstand the threat of two mortars from Japan.
Mortars may not be powerful for fortification, but because of their parabolic bombardment curves, the back of the mountain is no longer a difficult position for Japanese artillery to attack. This is why Nobita Nobita ordered the use of such artillery, which he originally despised.
Therefore, in the third round of attacks organized by the Japanese army, two Type 94 mortars secretly joined the battle.
Five minutes after the Chinese mortar position fired to suppress the attacking Japanese infantry group, two 94-mm mortars launched a sneak attack based on the impact point of the frontline position and the location where bursts of gunpowder smoke rose behind the mountain.
Needless to say, when several artillery shells fell directly behind the mountain, the flying shrapnel even swept down several people in a stretcher team. The entire Chinese soldiers behind the mountain were knocked down by the sudden artillery fire.
The two mortars continued to exert force, including the mortar position 400 meters away from the front line position, which was forced to move. For more than 5 minutes, no support was provided to the front line.
There are still more than 60 artillery shells in the entire artillery position. Once detonated, the consequences will be disastrous.
Judging from the actual combat effects on site, using mortars against mortars is effective over cliffs.
Due to the shooting boundary, the two mortar positions were less than 80 meters away from Nobita Nobita's frontline headquarters.
Although he was quite satisfied with the performance of the two artillery pieces he was forced to use, as time went by, Nobi Nobita always felt a deep sense of insecurity in his heart.
The Chinese seem to have a lot more mortars than we do! Well, we won’t be beaten to pieces again later!
The two doors, really, look too shabby.
Nobita Nobita had never hated his crow brain so much. This thought of being outnumbered only passed through his mind for a moment, but it soon became a reality.
On the top of the mountain opposite, there was an old gunner who was famous in the entire 921 Division. After the Japanese mortars opened fire, Li Daxi took his binoculars and kept looking for the Japanese mortar positions.
Ordinary artillery is generally thousands or even thousands of meters away, and it is impossible to even think about finding it with the naked eye. However, for the sake of accuracy, the Japanese army placed the mortar positions too far forward, even if there were still hills and woods for cover.
.
The rising clouds of smoke are the best signs.
In order to ensure a fatal blow, Li Daxi spent a long time gesticulating before determining the shooting angle, shooting range and other data, and asked the eight mortars to fire four rounds in salvo.
That's 32 rounds of artillery shells, accounting for one-half of all current artillery shell reserves. After this round, the remaining artillery shells will be enough to last until the evening at most.
But Li Daxi still did it without hesitation. He dared to be so extravagant because he knew that there was an army of local tyrants running towards this direction, and when they arrived, there would be more shells.
Then, a bunch of artillery shells came roaring.
Baga! Using the crowd to bully the few... was almost accidentally injured by a flying artillery shell that was not aimed too high. Nobi Nobita Shaozuo, who hid in the bunker, did not want to spurt blood this time, but instead had a slightly aggrieved and angry eye socket.
red.
When had the Imperial Japanese Army been bullied like this? It was like a little widow encountering a bunch of ruffians!
