Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth shooting

Zhang Xiaohua and Xue Defeng finally failed to withstand the siege of a group of more than thirty Japanese soldiers. However, because they heard the explosions from the Japanese artillery positions, they fired the glory bombs with a smile.

The cadets who can carry walkie-talkies and serve as artillery scouts are all elite scouts who studied the Second Army. Not only are they excellent at work and have excellent fighting styles, the most important thing is that they are absolutely loyal to the cadets and have devoted themselves to the anti-Japanese cause.

Prepare.

The artillery battle began.

Noboru Otsuka's 120th Field Artillery Regiment was unable to withstand the saturated bombardment of the 4th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment. In just five minutes, a total of 48 75mm field guns in the four brigades of the Regiment were completely destroyed.

In the past five minutes, 2,000 of the more than 3,000 people in the regiment and the escort infantry group were killed in the flames.

When the 120th Field Artillery Regiment was bombarded by the Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Japanese Heavy Artillery 22nd Regiment and the Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade directly under the 5th Army happened to enter Huangni, Yushan County, about two kilometers away from the creek beach.

In the first area, Major General Tian Yuichiro was very decisive and immediately ordered the 22nd Heavy Artillery Regiment to counterattack.

Because the Japanese army used towed artillery, it took a long time to prepare. Ten minutes later, when the Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment was about to stop bombarding, the 22nd Heavy Artillery Regiment, under the command of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Osuga Ou, fired three tests.

Fire cannonballs.

These three rounds of artillery shells seemed to add fire to the boiling pot, and the scale of the artillery battle immediately escalated. Cai Dayong was holding Hua Mai in his hand and was about to order all the artillery vehicles in the regiment to retract their support legs, when he saw the Japanese

The artillery began to retaliate. He changed his order and asked the entire regiment to stay on guard. Then he called the brigade commander Shi Zhengguo and reported to him that the Japanese army had indeed hidden an artillery unit.

In Ye Zhao's plan, Cai Dayong's regiment was both the vanguard and the bait. In fact, Shi Zhengguo was reluctant to use a regiment of heavy artillery troops as bait, and he did not want Cai Dayong's regiment to take on this task. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only bite the bullet and accept it.

After the combat mission was issued, he said to Cai Dayong guiltily: "Lao Cai, I'm sorry, I have wronged you!"

Cai Dayong was open-minded, and in turn comforted him and said: "You don't have to sacrifice the bait, guest. Don't worry. If the little devil wants to eat four of us, he will have to pay a huge price. He will definitely let him eat it."

You can't just walk around!" Cai Dayong had a lot of experience in artillery battles. He dispersed his artillery vehicles far apart. In this way, because the firing rate of self-propelled artillery was much higher than that of old-fashioned artillery, this allowed Tian Yuichiro to still have

Osuga Ying and other Japanese commanders made a misjudgment and thought that the artillerymen of a brigade on the Kakehei Army's side were shelling Otsuka Noboru.

It took Osuka ten minutes to complete the preparations for the artillery attack, and it took thirteen minutes to find the position of the artillery formation of the Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment. At this time, Cai Dayong took the initiative and tried to fire more than ten artillery shells, and he had already found the location of Osuka.

He Ying's artillery array position.

The two sides started firing at a distance of 12 kilometers. The Japanese army had a total of forty-eight heavy artillery pieces, of which thirty-six were 120 mm caliber and twelve were 150 mm caliber. The Xuebing Army's eighteen heavy artillery pieces were all 150 mm caliber.

Judging from the numbers alone, the Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment seemed to be at a disadvantage. However, after ten minutes of artillery battle, Cai Dayong became more and more courageous as he fought, but Osuga Ying became more timid and even frightened.

Cai Dayong's side still has ten artillery pieces that can continue to fight, while Osuka Ying's side has less than twenty pieces left. This is still secondary. What scares the latter is that he can calculate the exact position and gather a few pieces.

The artillery had fired no less than twenty rounds at one place, but there was a steady stream of shells hitting that place, which made him wonder: Could he be shooting at the enemy's fortress battery?

The reason for this situation is, on the one hand, because the artillery of the Xuebing Army is thick and well-trained, and on the other hand, it is related to the position chosen by Cai Dayong. The mountainous area chosen by Cai Dayong is adjacent to Qinfeng Township, and there are

Several stone ponds dug by local villagers were used to store water for watering vegetables. These stone ponds were just big enough to drive a self-propelled howitzer into. After the self-propelled artillery was driven in, the Japanese artillery would not fire any shells unless it fired directly from above.

It will be blocked by the stone wall of the stone pond, and the self-propelled artillery using the stone pond as a cover will transform into a fortress cannon.

The Fourth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 22nd Heavy Artillery Regiment exchanged fire for ten minutes without a clear winner. Osuka Ying became more and more frightened as they fought, and quickly asked the commander of the independent heavy artillery brigade, Tian Yuichiro, for help. Naturally, Tian Yuichiro had no choice but to do so.

Let the Fifth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment under his command assist in the battle. On the side of the Xuebing Army, Shi Zhengguo felt that there was an advantage to be taken and let the Fifth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment participate in the battle. The Fifth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment and the Sixth Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment were already ready for bombardment.

Only after the order from the country was conveyed, Sapphire, the commander of the fifth regiment, gave the order, and the eighteen heavy artillery pieces of the fifth regiment opened fire at the same time. In three consecutive rounds, half of Osuka Ying's remaining dozen or so cannons were blown up.

The position of the Fifth Regiment was about three thousand meters away from the Fourth Regiment. As soon as they opened fire, Osuka Ying and Tian Yuichiro were shocked - darling, there is an artillery hidden in the Xuebing Army! Tian Yuichiro quickly ordered the 5th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment.

The team postponed the attack, but it was a step too late. Seeing that the target of the 5th Regiment had been exposed, he immediately asked them to change the artillery target and attack the newly exposed enemy artillery.

Once the Xuebing Army's self-propelled artillery fired, the shells were numerous and dense. Tian Yuichiro was worried that the 5th Regiment would be defeated, so he asked the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment to join the battle.

The Japanese army suddenly had an extra heavy artillery regiment. Shi Zhengguo was shocked. He was hesitating whether to use the last strength of the Sixth Regiment. A staff officer under Cai Dayong reported to him sadly: "Brigadier, Commander Cai is honored!

He was furious and immediately gave an order to Zhang Qilian, the commander of the Sixth Regiment: "Old Zhang, if you see the newly emerged Japanese artillery, give it a good beating - Dayong, Dayong is glorious!"

Zhang Qilian was ordering his men to adjust the design of various elements at this time. When he heard this, he was silent for a few seconds and said: "Traveler! I will avenge Instructor Cai!" Then, he changed the channel and shouted in the microphone:

"Brothers! Let me tell you some unfortunate news. Commander Cai died! Brothers! Do you remember who taught you how to drill artillery? Once a teacher is a father for life! Brothers, avenge Instructor Cai!"

As is well known to everyone in the Second Army, Cai Dayong deserves the greatest credit for the development of the Second Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade to its current size. As the company commander of the first self-propelled artillery company in the Second Army, he is also the platoon commander and company commander of the Second Brigade and even other artillery regiments.

, battalion commander, regiment commander, most of them were taught by him. And if it weren't for the fact that he had made mistakes on major issues of right and wrong, the position of commander of the Second Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade would definitely be his now.

Cai Dayong has a special status in the hearts of the artillerymen of the Second Army. Therefore, once the cadets of the Sixth Regiment learned that he was killed by the Japanese, they were all filled with righteous indignation, their eyes were bloodshot, and they cried out, "Ignore his mother!" and everyone gritted their teeth.

Tears moved quickly, adjusting to shoot Zhu Yuan in a matter of minutes, then roared and stepped on the launch pedal, venting his anger with cannonballs.
