When the Artillery Regiment of the Third Academy of Artillery began to show off its power, the battle on the west bank of Qianhu also started. The lack of reporting made Yamamuro Munetake and Yamada Joji mistakenly believe that the main force of the Academy Army had detoured back to the east bank of the Gan River. Originally, they planned to attack Okamura There were still questions about Neji's strategy of attacking from east to west, but now, he no longer had any scruples.
The first to fire on the Xuebing Army's side was Langya, who was the first to enter the battlefield. Nine Changsun Sheng-level snipers. Each of them used the latest model of "Ganjiang" anti-material sniper rifle. The caliber of this rifle reached 12.5 mm, the range is a terrifying 1,800 meters, which is a level higher than the anti-material sniper rifle used by Zuo Bangling, the sniper of the Second Academy who killed Tokugawa Kenzo with a sniper rifle.
The width of the front lake is about 2,700 meters. The Japanese tank troops had just rushed halfway when a flare suddenly rose into the sky, shocking many little devils who slipped and almost fell on the ice. Some Japs felt the difference on the ground under their feet and asked the commander: Is this the ice surface? This situation was quickly reported to Yamamuro Sotake and Yamada Joji. Before the two of them could react, there was a thunderous gunshot in front of them. rang out, and the next moment, three Type 99 vehicles burst into flames at the same time, and one of them exploded inexplicably. Some Japanese saw the flash of gunfire in the distance and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack." In an instant, many of them exploded. As soon as the man lay down on the ice, he fired his gun, "Boom," several tanks also opened fire, and the shells turned into fireballs and flew out, exploding thousands of meters away. In the flames, the sharp-eyed Japanese I just didn't see the enemy, and I became more and more panicked.
At this time, the armored vehicle in which Yamamuro Sotake and others were riding had just gone down not far from the front lake. Hashimoto Mochishun suddenly reacted and said to Yamamuro who was in the same car: "Sir, where we are staying now is the front lake, right?"
During the daytime battle, the surface of the Ganjiang River was exploded, and at least 5,000 people of the West Route Army lost their lives as a result. Every step of the way gained wisdom. Okamura specifically mentioned this in his communication telegram with them. This was also their reason. The main reason for being so cautious when crossing the Gan River was that when Shan Shi heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said: "Then let the troops pass quickly and don't stay on the river for too long."
It was too late. Since the flare exploded on the head of the main force of the East Route Army, Xiao Jun contacted Zhang Tianquan and reported the shooting to Zhu Yuan. Then, Shanshi Zongwu realized that something was wrong. In the direction of Meiling Town, A dull thunder sounded, and the next moment, three fireballs rose into the sky, roaring and flying towards this side,
Although it was a test firing, all three shells hit the target area. A "rumbling" explosion sounded, and several unlucky Japs were lifted up by the air waves. They howled like ghosts and wolves in mid-air.
"Quickly, disperse." Yamamuro opened the car door and shouted outside. As soon as he finished shouting, an even louder muffled thunder sounded in the northwest. The next moment, hundreds of fireballs flew into the sky. In an instant, the sky over there was filled with fireballs. all dyed red,
"Boom," "Boom, boom," explosions sounded one after another, and fireballs rose up one after another. Finally, the ice surface of the Qianhu Lake could no longer withstand such a violent bombardment. Many places were hit by the previous shell. It cracked open and finally shattered when it was hit by the second cannonball.
"Lie down." "Oh my God." "Come on." "Artillery attack, artillery attack."... Amidst the explosions, various Japanese shouts resounded throughout the entire Japanese army. Then, four waves of people appeared, and the explosions It was so dense and loud that it completely covered the shouts of Yamamuro Munetake and Yamada Jōji. The originally neat array instantly collapsed, with those in the front running forward, those in the middle either running backwards or to the left and right, and The ones behind them turned around and ran away.
Ouyang Yun got off the armored vehicle, stood at the door and looked into the distance with a telescope. After more than ten seconds, he said to Liu Kui: "Tell Xiao Jun not to be stingy with the flares. It's a great job."
"Yes, Xiao Jun, the commander-in-chief ordered that the flares should not be stopped to ensure the accuracy of the bombardment."
"receive."
The illumination bombs rose into the sky one after another, but the sound of the cannons became sparse. The sound of the cannons became sparse, but the accuracy increased. Under the command of Xiao Jun, more than a dozen cannons adjusted and fired at Zhu Yuan for precise strikes. Where the shell hit, a piece of ice must have collapsed and cracked. Then, the Japanese who were not killed screamed and fell into the cold lake. They were not frozen, but half of their souls were frightened.
There were still about a dozen tanks, more than 30 armored vehicles, and about 2,000 Japanese soldiers rushing over. The artillery position of the 8th Xuexue Division was a bit far away. Zhang Tianquan was worried that he would hurt his own people, so he conservatively used the weapons provided by Xiao Jun. The shooting Zhuyuan has been increased by one level. In this way, the Japanese who "move forward bravely" will have the greatest chance of survival.
Ouyang Yun took out a sniper rifle from the car and shouted to the left and right: "Send the order, prepare to fight. Where are the snipers? First kill the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles."
Dozens of male and female soldiers followed with uniform anti-material sniper rifles. At this moment, they were still more than 500 meters away from the battlefield, and more than 1,300 meters away from the Japanese. This distance seemed far, but it was The best sniper position is to use a car, a backpack, or simply build a snowdrift. Open the support frame and dozens of people set up their sniper rifles. In addition, some female soldiers took out a soft cushion from their backpacks to cushion them. Between the shoulder and the butt of the gun, in case the shoulder cannot withstand such a large recoil and becomes disabled or something,
Holding the "Go-Jiang" anti-materiel sniper rifle, Ouyang Yun was filled with pride. Although there was still a big gap between this big sniper rifle and the one he brought, as long as he thought about it, there was a huge gap between the two. Ten years, and only Xuebingjun in the world could create one. The corners of his mouth tilted up slightly involuntarily.
After the sound of artillery became sparse, the chaos of the Japanese army was finally contained. However, facing those shells that seemed to have eyes, Yamamuro Sotake and Yamada Joji did not dare to order the assembly, nor did they dare to order the troops behind to continue charging. , they didn’t even dare to ask anyone to rescue the thousands of Japanese who fell into the water.
Learn from the Eighth Division and do another amazing feat. Although the density and consumption of this round of artillery bombardment are far less than the round that bombarded the main force of the West Route Army during the day, the results achieved are not much weaker. At least about ten tanks are still there. Two brigades of Japs were directly blown up and killed. In addition, more than 20 tanks and at least two brigades of Japs were swallowed up by the front lake. These 20 tanks must not be saved, and that Whether the Japanese with more than two brigades can still survive depends on the next performance of the East Route Army.
It was originally a very tight formation, but this round of bombardment turned into four parts. In addition to the front and rear parts, the two groups that dispersed to the left and right finally stepped into the mine array set by the Wolf Fangs. Who knew who was the unlucky one who stepped on the mine first? Then, the Japanese who climbed to the shore hit the mine one after another and were blown up to death. Then, they did not dare to climb to the shore.
As a result, a very funny scene appeared. On the east bank of Qianhu Lake and on the lake, there were clearly about 10,000 people from the East Route Army, but they could not do anything except lying on the ground or running around to avoid the shelling. A mixed attack force of tanks and infantry in advance to support,
