Qingdao Biaohupo, the headquarters of the 124th Regiment of the 18th Division, is located here.
As the commander of the 124th Regiment, Colonel Matsunaga Masatoshi was holding his breath and hiding in a bunker made of concrete, observing the situation on the outside position through a lookout hole.
Putting down the telescope, he shook his head and said: "Hamamen-kun, it is said that Lu Xiaojia's National Guard Army has a lot of heavy artillery. If the National Guard Army has enough ammunition, then we will be responsible for defending the 55, 56 and 56 of the three outer lines of defense. I'm afraid the 114th Wing is going to suffer.
"The outer positions they were responsible for defending were all flat. Although they relied on the help of local soldiers to quickly add a large number of anti-gun holes on the basis of the original trenches, these anti-gun holes lacked concrete pouring and reinforcement, and they may not be able to prevent heavy artillery bombardment. "
Deputy commander Hamazura Matasuke was also very helpless, "Your Excellency, commander, division commander, there is nothing we can do. If we want to resist the attack of the Patriot Army, defend Qingdao, and protect the more than 300,000 overseas Chinese in the city, we cannot abandon it." Perimeter line of defense. "
"Besides, our 124th Regiment's luck has already been calculated. Biaohupo is the last barrier and the most stable defensive position among the four defensive positions. Most of the soldiers in our Regiment can hide in the hidden fortress. to withstand shelling."
"Gentlemen, what are you talking about?" Artillery Regiment Captain Yukihiro Yata came to the bunker.
Matsunaga Masatoshi looked happy. After all, their regiment consisted of Type 41 75mm mountain artillery, and it was difficult to suppress the heavy artillery of the Patriot Army.
In the entire division, only the heavy artillery brigade in the artillery wing is equipped with 12 heavy artillery pieces.
In this case, if that regiment can receive key support from the artillery regiment, the casualty situation will definitely be much better. "Yada-kun, where do you plan to deploy your heavy artillery regiment?"
Yukihiro Yata took out a kettle and took a sip, "Matsunaga-kun, the three field artillery brigades of our artillery regiment are equipped with 38-type 75mm field guns with a range of only 8 kilometers, so they are assigned to peripheral positions."
"But our heavy artillery brigade is assigned to you to help your 124th Wing defend Biaohupo."
Hearing this, Hamazura Matasuke couldn't help but said: "Yo Xi, this is good. Even if the three outer lines of defense are breached, our 124th Regiment will rely on heavy artillery and the solid Biaohu Slope to make it difficult for the Patriot Army to move."
These Japanese people had no idea how intense the artillery fire they were about to face was.
…
At this moment, on the artillery position of the Patriot Army far away, the artillery and ammunition of 2 division artillery regiments and 1 combined division have been deployed.
Among them, 216 M43 155mm self-propelled artillery pieces were dispersed into 12 artillery positions. Due to their long range, they were deployed 15 kilometers away from the outer positions of Fuso.
144 BМ-13-16 self-propelled rocket launchers, 72 SU-203 mm heavy self-propelled artillery, 144 leFH18 105 mm howitzers, and 120 M1A1 155 mm howitzers were deployed 8 kilometers away from the Fuso peripheral position.
The Steel Guard, composed of thousands of armored vehicles, tanks, and tens of thousands of soldiers, has long been hidden 500 meters away from the artillery front and ready to go.
The soldier standing in Sherman's flexible shooting position showed a ferocious smile and said, "Click!" He pulled the bolt to load the Browning M2HB heavy machine gun.
The commander looked at the heavy machine gun in front of him and shook his head helplessly. He thought that these infantrymen were really crazy. He replaced his special heavy machine gun with the commander's special one. We have two 12.7mm heavy machine guns mounted on the turret of our tanks. How can even the King of Hell not tolerate this?"
The soldier was busy loading the chain box of the heavy machine gun, stroking the carrot-sized bullets, and replied with a smile: "It is said that the Japanese are very good at shooting, and they can also charge onboard. Naturally, you armored soldiers are not afraid."
"But our infantry are a little scared. The Browning M1919A4 heavy machine gun you are using, commander, is not effective. I will replace it with a large-caliber heavy machine gun. Then we will use these two machine guns to teach them a lesson." "
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll teach them a lesson when the time comes. I'll be satisfied if they're all beaten to a pulp." The commander glanced at his watch and quickly retracted the turret when he realized that a bombardment was about to begin.
…
On one of the rocket launcher positions in the rear, 12 БМ-13-16 self-propelled rocket launchers were already hungry and thirsty. Their muzzles were already pointed at the Fuso position 8 kilometers away, creating a chilling and murderous atmosphere.
The commander held his breath and stared at his watch. Seeing that the reservation time had arrived, he shouted hoarsely: "Start!"
As the soldier pressed the starter, the entire position was filled with smoke and dust.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At the same time, the same was true for the 11 rocket launcher positions scattered in other locations. Suddenly, there was an endless stream of sharp and harsh whistling sounds, as if they were playing a movement full of death.
Weapons like the Katyusha rocket launcher are world-famous for being "fast, accurate and ruthless".
In just ten seconds, 2,304 RS-132 132mm rockets from 144 self-propelled artillery vehicles roared out one after another.
Like brilliant meteor trails across the sky, like the loom of death, in a blazing golden light, it delivers mourning clothes to the Fuso soldiers in the distance.
The remaining 552 heavy artillery pieces with diameters ranging from 105 to 203 mm also followed the death of the rocket launchers, adding to this earth-shattering firepower coverage.
"Boom boom!"
"Boom boom!"
…
The Japanese soldiers hiding in trenches, foxholes and anti-artillery fortifications looked at the thousands of small black dots trailing flames and falling rapidly in the sky, and said vaguely: "How... is this possible!"
At this moment, they just want to kill thousands of people with a special high-level course, there are dozens or hundreds of heavy artillery!
The Patriot Army clearly had two to three thousand heavy artillery, but the artillery shells would not give them a chance.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
With the sound of explosions that shook the earth and mountains, these Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces one after another, and their intestines and severed limbs flew into the sky spinning.
Just one round of fire coverage included 2,900 artillery shells of various types.
That is, about 160 tons of artillery shells, whizzing down on the forward position of the 2nd Division.
This kind of firepower can create a death area of about 3 square kilometers. Within this range, even earthworms and mice cannot survive, and no physical life can resist this kind of bombardment.
A hail of artillery shells roared from the sky, and explosions occurred one after another on the position.
The Fuso position was like a major earthquake and volcanic eruption intertwined at the same time.
The dust and smoke in the sky was accompanied by a loud noise that could be clearly heard hundreds of miles away.
The bodies of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were torn apart and turned into minced meat. The blood in their bodies instantly formed a blood mist, and then evaporated by the high temperature of the explosion.
However, the intensive bombardment did not stop. The shells successively cast thousands of dazzling fireworks, and countless Japanese soldiers flew everywhere and were annihilated in the blazing fire.
It was as if Satan from hell had personally brought an army of the undead to the world. Thousands of undead were grinning ferociously, holding up huge sickles cruelly, and excitedly harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers one after another.
The death-filled smoke rising from the ground reached hundreds of meters, covering the sky unbridled like the rolling breath of the underworld.
The turbulent and blind-angle artillery plowed the ground, instantly destroying most of the defense line built by the 18th Division. Even if this group of Japanese had made preparations in advance and built a large number of anti-artillery fortifications, it was useless.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Countless whistling and falling cannonballs have already coveted the flesh and blood bodies hiding within them.
These anti-artillery fortifications were violently torn apart by the tyrannical shock wave, and shrapnel rushed into them hungrily, chopping these Japanese soldiers into pulp. Then, every drop of flesh that is greedily devoured and every drop of blood that is evaporated is bound to be crushed into ashes of any fleshly creature.
The Fuso people were placed on the forward position in advance, and the dozens of mountain cannons and field cannons were also detonated by the overwhelming explosion, and were instantly blown back to their original form.
