The rumble of cannons awoke Jiang Tiezhang, who had just fallen asleep. He lifted up the blanket on his body, pushed open the car door and looked outside. He saw a ball of fire coming from the east, exploding in the left-hand direction about a kilometer away from him. Open, he took a deep breath and then stretched and said to himself: "It seems that the brothers have done a good job. The Germans are getting angry. Hey, this is the German reinforcements."
"Commander, don't take a rest for a while." Adjutant Jiang Conggu came up to him and handed him a wet towel.
Jiang Tiezhang wiped his face and asked when handing back the towel: "Where is Li Da'an? Let him come to see me."
"yes."
Li Da'an is the artillery commander of the Southward Detachment. He has four 120mm caliber self-propelled artillery and more than ten 30mm caliber combat anti-aircraft guns. Due to terrain restrictions, there is no artillery during the day. Entering the battle, now, because of the provocative behavior of the German artillery, it is obvious that Jiang Tiezhang is preparing to use the artillery,
Li Daan arrived quickly, and as soon as he could see Jiang Tiezhang's figure clearly, he shouted anxiously: "Chief, are you asking our artillery to come in?"
"Can we enter the fighting position in five minutes?" Jiang Tiezhang asked directly, pointing to the vaguely visible German artillery position.
"Of course, Chief Officer, you have to believe me, I am professional."
"Okay, let's start now."
"Yes." Li Da'an responded, having already taken the microphone from the adjutant's hand, and then in front of Jiang Tiezhang, he shouted energetically: "Brothers, our hard work just now was not in vain, now , I order you to fire immediately, it is the German artillery position." Putting down the microphone, he turned to see Jiang Tiezhang's surprised eyes, chuckled twice and explained: "Brothers have been helping the engineering team. We are building an artillery channel. I heard the sound of artillery just now and couldn't help but enter a state of combat readiness. Hehe..."
Jiang Tiezhang smiled and said: "Okay, take precautions, Li Daan, if you can severely damage the German artillery, I will give you third-class collective merit."
The sound of artillery sounded, and the pleasure of revenge arose in Medeles's heart. He narrowed his eyes when looking at the explosion point. He was so looking forward to the scene of Chinese soldiers being blown away, regardless of whether there were really Chinese hiding there. There are only so many places to hide near the debris flow field, and the artillery unit of the 10th Motorized Division has thirty-six 120-mm howitzers. In his opinion, as long as these thirty-six artillery pieces are used, If he carries out a roll call attack, even if he cannot severely damage the Chinese people, he can still make the Chinese people fearful and dare not carry out harassment wars. Then the vast majority of his soldiers will be able to survive until dawn, and when the large forces arrive, it will not be them Being chased and beaten by the Chinese, everything will be turned upside down. "When the large forces arrive, I will directly request General Guderian that our First Cavalry Division continue to assume the vanguard mission. Chinese people, you will be disappointed by what you have done tonight." I regret everything I did..." Medeles couldn't help but become lustful, and the scene that made him lustful appeared on his face, which seemed to be a rather vulgar expression for Motil. Suddenly, in front of him on the right The night sky lights up,
Medeleis, Motil, and many of their subordinates all turned to look over. The next moment, Motil, who was the first to react, shouted loudly: "Quickly, let Daidris move his position."
His staff officer in charge of communications hurriedly went to make a phone call, and he just relayed Motil's order. There were already a few more meteors in the sky to their right.
Just as Li Daan said "I am a professional" when answering Jiang Tiezhang, Li Daan's professional quality is indeed excellent, so even if there is no good reference object at night, he is confident enough to shoot directly without test firing. After finding the shooting parameters accurately, the battle defense artillery was useless at a distance of about six kilometers. In other words, Li Daan was now using four cannons against the German thirty-six cannons. In this way, the first shot was successful. The requirements for accuracy are even higher. If they cannot hit the target with the first shot and inflict heavy damage to the Germans, then even if they can hit with the second shot, they will be counterattacked by the Germans who reacted. And if it becomes a shooting situation If the German army has an absolute advantage in the number of artillery pieces, then it is conceivable that even if Li Daan is able to destroy a few German artillery pieces in the end, their end will inevitably be the destruction of the entire army.
When the four cannons under Li Daan's command had already fired their first shells, Daidris was looking at the bombardment sequence map in his hand with a flashlight, calculating the adjustment parameters for the next round of bombardment, and the distance from Li Daan's The artillery position was still a bit far away, and the shells they fired were exploding on Larbu Mountain, so he didn't even realize that he had become a target of the Chinese artillery.
Suddenly there was a call for them to move their positions from the radio. Daidris raised his head and looked at the staff officer holding the microphone with a puzzled expression. A captain behind him saw the four meteors and immediately shouted: "There, Chinese artillery shells, sir, we need to move our position."
Over there, it was discovered that there were only four incoming artillery shells. Model felt a little relieved and said to the left and right: "Fortunately, the Chinese don't seem to have many artillery."
"Maybe it's a test launch." Medeles said with a gloomy look on his face.
The Chinese did not use artillery during the day. If they had used artillery at that time, then those chariots and tanks under his command would be targets. Why did the Chinese not use artillery during the day? Are they hiding their strength? Does that mean that China People have bigger plans, and when he thought about this, Medeles could no longer remain calm, because he realized that if this was really the case, then the 1st Cavalry Division would be used by the Chinese to implement their next action plan. Bait, no matter what the final result is, will inevitably be destroyed. If the situation goes badly, it may even become an outcast.
Both Motier and Medeleis were veterans. When Motier heard Medeleis say this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly when he thought about the possibility.
And as if to prove the accuracy of Medeleis' prediction, the four meteors were still in flight. The sky in front of them to the right was lit up again, and then four more meteors rose.
"Don't worry about Li Da'an and the others stealing chickens and losing money. What I mean is, if they fail to hit the first ball or are unable to connect, it will be a different result." After this battle, someone once asked. Jiang Tiezhang,
How did Jiang Tiezhang answer?
"I didn't think so much. Our purpose is to hold back the Second Armored Group. Don't you think the appearance of artillery will confuse the enemy's sight? I want Guderian to be confused about our strength, and as long as the Germans do this By becoming more cautious, my goal will be achieved."
It is not difficult to see from these words that when Jiang Tiezhang sent out his artillery, he was actually ready to sacrifice them.
