Chapter 499: The Crisis Is Over
"Dongdongdongdongdong...dadada..." The sound of light and heavy machine guns on the battlefield had already sounded.
Without the vanguard squadron to stop the chariot platoon, the chariot platoon was like a god's help, and without any meaningful resistance, he rushed forward for nearly two hundred meters in less than a minute.
The first brigade, which was highly anticipated by Colonel Watanabe, has assembled more than 200 people and used the craters and comrades' bodies to build a simple line of defense, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and two temporary mortars... and shot desperately at the chariot platoon, trying to use their flesh and blood to block the steel torrent of the chariot platoon...
Their behavior can be described as heroic, but it has no meaning. The National Salvation Army does not give them the opportunity to fight with the chariot platoon.
The ten mortars placed behind the platoon of chariots were quickly aimed at them, and the shells were as expensive as they were, and they fired desperately at them.
The explosion of "Boom..." quickly rang out.
In less than half a minute, more than two hundred Japanese were submerged in artillery fire, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.
Colonel Watanabe was both heartbroken and desperate. His hands had already clenched into fists because of anger, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Bageyalu, what do artillery soldiers do for? Why don't they fire the artillery..."
"The artillery fights back immediately, kill the mortar positions hidden near us first, and then counterattack their mountain artillery troops..."
"The artillery must fire within one minute, otherwise military law will be carried out!"
Although the craters blown out by mountain cannons can be used as cover for the Japanese, the number is too small.
Most of the Japanese had to lie on the ground and hide behind the corpses, completely unable to avoid the damage caused by mortar shells to them.
The hurriedly built line of defense was blown to pieces in less than a minute.
When the artillery fired, the platoon of the tanks did not stop and continued to maintain speed to attack the Japanese army's blocking positions.
As soon as the artillery fire ended, eight chariots and armed cars rushed to the front of the Japanese army for fifty or sixty meters.
Nearly twenty light and heavy machine guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns joined the battle at the same time, and shot the Japanese devils who were still alive in the smoke from a high point...
The scene that Colonel Watanabe least wanted to see appeared on the battlefield again.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the blocking positions filled with smoke, each of them looked like a stray dog, desperately retreating...
"The artillery fires immediately. Only by killing the enemy's mortar position can the troops have the chance to block the enemy's tanks and buy time for the rapid-fire artillery squadron to support the battlefield..." Colonel Watanabe felt more and more heartbroken as he looked at it, and shouted anxiously.
The observer of the National Salvation Army Artillery Battalion was on the high ground, and all three observers were holding telescopes, searching carefully for the target worthy of the mountain artillery battalion to fire.
Soon, the artillery position that the Japanese army was deploying was found by an observation hand, holding a telescope in one hand and locking the target. The other hand grabbed the microphone next to it and began to shout: "The Japanese artillery position is in the No. 5 bombing area, and immediately concentrate an artillery company to counterattack. The speed is faster, and the Japanese are about to fire the artillery soon..."
At the artillery position two kilometers away, Tan Wei ordered the troops behind him as soon as he heard the report: "The first company of mountain cannons aims at the No. 5 artillery area, each cannon fires five rapid fires, and fires..."
The Japanese artillery positions, squadron captains, and squadron captains all looked anxiously at the gunners in front of them, constantly urging them to be faster and faster...
"Report to the commander, the wing commander asked us to fire within one minute, first destroy the mortar positions hidden near us, and then counterattack the enemy's mountain artillery positions, otherwise military law will be engaged in..." The messenger of the wing command hurried over to report.
"Baga... This is our fastest speed!" The squadron leader cursed dissatisfied.
Two or three minutes ago, these artillery were still pulled by mules and horses. The troops were able to find artillery positions in such a short time and pull the artillery to the artillery position. This speed has already set a precedent for themselves as the squadron leader.
But the command of the wing captain must be executed.
He is a good-looking official. If he is engaged in military law, he will definitely be engaged in military law.
The only thing I can do at this moment is to transfer the pressure to my subordinates and let them continue to speed up. I frowned and replied: "Go back and tell the team leader, we promise to start fighting back within one minute."
After saying that, he shouted at his busy subordinates in front of him: "Our speed must be faster..."
"Observe the hands to determine the shooting personnel within half a minute, and we must fire within one minute..."
The pressure on the observer was very high. The command of the squadron leader just now meant that the pressure on whether the troops could fire on time was all on them.
Only by timely and accurately calculate the shooting personnel, the artillery can fire on time.
Beads of sweat as big as beans flowed down their foreheads like rain, and their backs were soaked by sweat due to tension.
"Sir, we calculated..." At the last moment of the squadron leader's time, the observer ran over to report.
"Tell all artillery immediately, and fire the artillery in half a minute!" The squadron leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the good news and quickly ordered.
The gunners reacted very quickly, and there were many artillery ready to fire in less than half a minute.
In order to increase the lethality of the first round of artillery fire, the squadron leader decided to wait until all the artillery was ready before firing.
"Ten rapid fires per cannon, fire the cannon..." As soon as the last mountain cannon was ready, the squadron leader pulled out his command knife, pointed in the direction of the target, and shouted loudly.
"Boom boom boom..." The dull shelling sounded quickly in the squadron leader's ears.
The frowning brow finally stretched out at this moment.
But this good mood lasted in less than three seconds and was broken by a series of sudden screams.
The soldiers on the artillery positions were gunners, and no one was more familiar with the sound of shells flying with different caliber than them.
The scream of "Woooooooo..." became louder and louder, and everyone realized that these shells were flying towards them.
The artillery was ignored and fell to the ground immediately to avoid the upcoming artillery fire.
"Boom..."
All six mountain cannon shells hit the target. In the splashing flames, two mortars were actually blown away, and many gunners were blown into the sky together.
The squadron leader was very lucky. The nearest bounce point was worth thirty meters away from him and could not threaten his safety at all.
But he was not grateful for his good luck, but instead looked heavy and was anxious to order: "Bageya Road, the enemy dispatched at least six mountain cannons to attack us. Now it is too late to counterattack. You can't stay here anymore, otherwise all artillery will be destroyed!"
"The troops are transferred immediately and take artillery and leave here..."
Colonel Watanabe was in a good mood when he saw the artillery troops finally firing, so he immediately began to think about a full-scale counterattack.
In his opinion, if you knock out the enemy artillery troops, you will be relieved of half of your crisis.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I was about to find the troops behind the temple who were rushing here to see where they were and how long they would have to meet with them. Then I joined forces to launch a counterattack against the enemy. The artillery positions with high hopes suddenly rose six dazzling balls, and several violent explosions followed.
Colonel Watanabe was stunned on the spot, shouting with disbelief: "How could it be? How could our artillery position be attacked!"
The artillery staff responded quickly and made a judgment with a look of surprise: "Sir, there must be an enemy artillery observation post hidden around us, commanding two kilometers away from mountain artillery attacks us!"
"They discovered it before the artillery positions were fired. When the artillery troops fired, they followed suit. But Bei Yi couldn't understand why their artillery accuracy was so high. The first round of six shells hit the target."
