In the history of our country, there has never been a shortage of lucky generals. The so-called lucky generals should have the same meaning as going out to step on dog poop - always wearing the hat of luck on your head.
In this battle that took place in the Fuding and Cangnan areas on the 30th of 1939, Ma Chun was undoubtedly Liu Yuqing's lucky general - if Ueda Qinye had bombarded Li Hai's artillery regiment first, the result would have been completely different. Compared to
Old-fashioned towed artillery, self-propelled artillery has three major advantages: shooting, mobility, and protection capabilities. The Xuebing Army's self-propelled artillery all uses the chassis of the old relay-type tanks. This self-propelled tracked structure has extremely strong ground protection capabilities.
It is strong and has excellent ability to pass through complex terrain; and its superstructure, although the armor thickness has been reduced due to the need for combat flexibility, is much thicker than Japan's Type 97 Chilo tank. These
, undoubtedly greatly enhanced its battlefield survivability. But the reality is that unless the vehicle body is directly hit by a heavy shell, there is no possibility of being destroyed by a single shot.
Eighty-four 120mm and 150mm heavy artillery fired at the same time. The sound was frightening, but the result was really unsatisfactory. There was an "aggressive" sound of shells breaking through the air, and then a rumbling explosion. The 6th Howitzer Brigade
After firing three rounds in a row, nearly three hundred artillery shells roared towards the positions of the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment. Fireballs rose into the sky one after another, instantly turning the sky in the area where the Ma Chun Regiment, He Liang Hui Regiment was, red. There was a boom.
With a loud explosion, two of Ma Chun's artillery were directly fired. One of the turret shells exploded and caught fire, becoming the only one that was completely destroyed. The other one had a front armor shell, although it was also lost.
Although he had gained combat capability, the cadet inside was only slightly injured.
The sudden shelling shocked Ma Chun, but that was all. Both he and Liu Yuqing knew that the Japanese army had two brigades of artillery. Therefore, when they decided to counterattack, they had the possibility of suffering retaliation from the Japanese army.
Preparation for sex bombardment.
"Lao Ma, the kid's hidden artillery has appeared, let's fight!" Liang Hui, the leader of the 406th Regiment, shouted to him through the walkie-talkie.
Ma Chun didn't talk nonsense and decisively ordered: "Hit"
The order to transfer positions was retracted, and the order to counterattack was conveyed. At this time, all the artillery carts had not retracted their rear supporting legs. So, under the operation of the main gunner, a tooth-gripping sound of gears was heard, and more than thirty people
The turret of the artillery gun deflected slightly to the left. Almost at the same time, the sound of the gun truck's engine became extremely loud, the oil cylinder motor started, there was a "buzzing" sound of oil pumping, and the gun barrel began to raise one or two marks. Then, Ma Chun
The two artillery pieces controlled by Liang Hui and Liang Hui took the lead in firing, and each fired a test shot.
It was slow to write, but in fact it only took a few tens of seconds for Xuebingjun to launch a counterattack.
Ueda Qinye had never expected the Xuebing Army's counterattack to be so fast and accurate. If Asharu is a lucky general, then Ueda is undoubtedly the one who is everywhere and can always bring out the hero's extraordinary prowess.
It’s terrible. The Nafa artillery shell that Ma Chun fired came whistling with flames, and actually directly hit a 150 mm caliber howitzer on Ueda’s right. A gorgeous mushroom cloud exploded in the night, and another one exploded.
, and then mushroom clouds surged one after another; "rumbling" explosions sounded, once, twice, and finally one. The explosion caused the shell pile behind the artillery to explode. The continuous explosion sounded, even though Ueda's
His subordinates reacted quickly and were fearless about life and death. Three or four people pinned him down, but the air wave generated by the large-scale explosion close at hand was too violent. Those Japanese soldiers and the military police and staff standing around were all without exception.
First, they were shot into funnels of human blood by the shrapnel that filled the sky, and then they were rushed out by the air waves, and collectively they became human kites. The explosion was so loud that Ueda was almost knocked unconscious when he was pressed to the ground by his men.
Confused and shocked, he was pricked by dozens of shrapnel, and was pushed out more than ten meters along with the soil kicked up by the explosion. When he died, his eyes were still wide open, as if he would not rest in peace.
If the counterattack of the 6th Howitzer Brigade was like a violent storm, then the counterattack by the 403rd and 406th Regiments and the Li Hai Regiment was like a thunderous fury. There was no room for a moment's hesitation on the battlefield, but what was terrible was that he wasted his time because of his indecision.
Six precious minutes. Japan's so-called new howitzer has improved range and accuracy, but its protective capabilities are no different from those of old artillery. In this case, although it immediately issued an order to fire, it failed because the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery
The brigade was destroyed and had to face the thundering fury of the 403rd Regiment and the 406th Regiment's cadets alone, which also made the quality of the artillery of the two parties more and more important.
The low-mountainous and hilly terrain in the coastal border areas of Fujian and Zhejiang is not conducive to the towing of towed artillery. Therefore, whether it is the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade or the 6th Howitzer Brigade, their artillery deployment density is relatively dense, which is equivalent to reducing the
The technical requirements for the artillery of the Xuebing Army were met. Well, it was said to be an artillery exchange, but the actual manifestation was a one-sided massacre.
Most of the eighty-four artillery pieces only had time to fire three shells, and were then blown to pieces or blown away, losing the ability to continue fighting.
The Li Hai Regiment joined the battlefield about two minutes later than the Ma Chun Regiment and the Liang Hui Regiment, and with their addition, the sound that the 6th Howitzer Brigade could make became inaudible.
The senior commander of the South China Front, Iwane Matsui, the commander of the 6th Division Hisao Tani, the commander of the 9th Division Okuichiro Okuichiro, and the commander of the 13th Division Kawabe Shozo had many battles with the cadet army.
experience, so he has a special taboo against the artillery and tank troops of the Xuebing Army, and therefore pays special attention to the restraint of these two arms. This is why he is willing to use the Independent 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade as bait to lure out the Xuebing Army.
The reason for the artillery. Matsui Iwane was very familiar with the locations of his two artillery positions. When the explosions first sounded on the artillery position of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, although he was surprised by the reaction of the cadet army, he was not surprised.
.In an artillery battle, it is very important to have the upper hand. Under normal circumstances, as long as the artillery can fire three rounds first, then when the difference in the number of artillery is not big, the one with the upper hand can win the victory in one fell swoop. This is why he is willing to give up his independence.
The second reason why the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade was used as a decoy.
After a minute, his expression changed, and he muttered: "What's going on?!" He stood up and walked towards the door. After walking out of the headquarters, he looked towards the direction of the 6th Howitzer Brigade, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He felt something was wrong when he heard the sound, but as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and seeing mushroom clouds rising one after another, he knew that the 6th Howitzer Brigade was finished. He slowly turned around and followed the direction of the incoming shells.
In the past, when he saw the northwest sky emitting bursts of red light as a steady stream of fireballs soared, his heart suddenly dropped into the ice cellar with a thump, and he couldn't help but cursed: "Hagagaru! Ueda"
Qin Ye, this bastard!" He could no longer remain calm.
On the 30th of the year, there is no moon. I don’t know if I also hate war, and there are not many stars. In the dark night sky, the flight path of the artillery shells is particularly eye-catching, even beautiful and magnificent, but when it falls on Matsui Iwane’s eyes, that
The fireballs that flew past one after another like meteors sliced through his heart like blades, causing him unbearable pain and making it difficult to breathe. Five minutes later, he drooped his head dejectedly, staggered and almost fell down.
On the ground.
He has been in the army for a long time, so he can make accurate judgments through observation. Although he was extremely unwilling and angry, a glimmer of clarity in his mind stabbed his reason like ice and told him repeatedly: Ueda Qinye's artillery brigade
It's completely finished, finished, finished——
Matsui Iwane had a bad heart. Seeing him suddenly acting like this, a group of staff officers under his command were startled and shouted: "Your Excellency!" "Your Excellency, Commander!" they rushed up one after another.
Matsui Iwane roared: "Go away!" Then he staggered into the headquarters, picked up the phone and called Hisao Tani in front: "Suspend the attack!" After saying these words, without waiting for Hisao Tani's response, he
He dropped the phone heavily, put his hands on the table and yelled: "Call Yamada and ask him to immediately send out bombers to attack the Chinese artillery! Tell him to destroy the Chinese artillery at all costs!"
All the staff officers were frightened by him. They all looked like they were in despair. They said "Hai" tremblingly and ran towards their work stations in small steps.
Matsui Iwane planned hard. He wanted to hunt an eagle, but instead his eyes were pecked by the eagle. Not only that, he also lost two fat and tender chickens. He was just because of his two heavy artillery brigades.
The destruction was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Over there, his opponent Liu Yuqing stood at the door of the frontline headquarters, watching those bright fireballs flying towards the enemy artillery position, and then set off 2 fireworks in the box. On his face,
The corners of his eyebrows opened and his lips curled up, and a smile quietly appeared on his face.
This result was unexpected by Liu Yuqing. And the more it happened, the more excited and happy he became.
"This is the power of technology!" He thought to himself, holding his hands tightly, feeling that life was so beautiful, and how lucky he was!
The Sichuan Army has been the weakest among all factions in the country since its formation. This weakness is not due to the Sichuan people themselves, but because the Sichuan people are too poor. I recall that when they participated in the Battle of Nanjing, they were called the Beggar Army.
At that time, I would laugh out of my dreams if I could own a 75mm mountain cannon. Look at today, my division alone has thirty-six self-propelled heavy artillery, and two regiments of tanks. And
It is precisely because of these high-end weapons that he can withstand the Japanese army's three divisions with the strength of two divisions. How can Liu Yuqing maintain his reserve?
