"Ugh!!!"
Artilleryman Zhang Erhe struggled to lift a 150mm heavy artillery shell and quickly loaded it into the barrel of the heavy artillery that had just finished roaring.
Such shouts can be heard everywhere on the artillery positions of the Southwest Army of China. This is the cry of the artillerymen when they struggled to lift the shells. The artillery brothers fired so readily for the first time, without shrinking, and for the first time they had no scruples and Vent heartily.
Everyone was as excited as if they had taken stimulants, and everyone performed technical movements as fast as possible. The high morale caused the shelling to speed up significantly. Although this would reduce the life of the gun barrels, they felt very proud when they thought of annihilating more than 10,000 people in the Japanese Sixth Division in two hours. This mission must Finish! !
Some Japanese soldiers who failed to retreat and were shot emitted a shrill cry for more than ten seconds before dying, which made all the Japanese soldiers feel numb.
The heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars that provided fire support for the defense of the Japanese army received key attention from the light and heavy machine guns of the First Army. The heavy and low-speed machine guns of the Japanese army were vulnerable to the hail of bullets from the Northwest Army. It cannot perform the function of fire suppression.
The infantrymen with long 38-inch caps are living targets in front of automatic rifles and semi-automatic rifles.
The fast and efficient shooting allowed the mortars to easily pry open the Japanese defense line without firing.
"Changzhi-kun! The Chinese attack was so sharp. The 45th Wing's defense line was pried open step by step. The enemy was not stingy with artillery shells." Yingzhuan Eighth Colonel slammed the table angrily and said fiercely.
"Ying Zhuanjun, this is definitely the strongest army in the Northwest Army, with accurate marksmanship and rigorous tactics. No wonder the 11th Brigade lost Longhua last night."
"Judging from the current situation, Lieutenant General Sakamoto's plan is undoubtedly the most suitable method, but I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until that time." Nagashi Michibori looked at the situation in the city with a frown.
"Nagashi-kun, I don't think so. The enemy just has advanced weapons. When they are attacked by our army everywhere, they will fall into the pull of street fighting."
In fact, if Sakamoto Masaemon broke through the encirclement immediately, there might still be some hope, but after executing the Kanto Agency's order, he ultimately missed the best opportunity to retreat. Now that a brigade has been completely wiped out, the battle in the city is not to mention drawn out. If you can't find anyone, just use artillery to level them.
Zhang Yunhan said that in the future, these low-rise private houses will be demolished and tall buildings like those in Jincheng will be built, so there is no need to worry about them being destroyed, just destroy them and build them again.
The Japanese army began to shrink their defense lines, and we couldn't blame the Japanese army. After all, who would bombard the enemy when they saw it?
Tanks provided cover, and infantry and tanks advanced in coordination. Under the suppressed firepower of the artillery regiment, many people in the Japanese army felt fear in their hearts. These people were the absolute elite of the Japanese army, but even if they were elites, they could not imagine that the enemy's artillery fire had never stopped. , as long as you hide in a private house, the light one is the mountain cannon, and the more stunned one is the 203mm howitzer. The whole building will collapse with one shot.
Looking at the sound of URAs passing overhead from time to time, this kind of saturated artillery bombardment was something I had never seen in my life. Just from the trajectory of the artillery shells that drew arcs in the sky, I could tell that the Chinese people on the opposite side were They have more powerful and more heavy artillery than their two divisions. Although these artillery shells are not currently hitting them, the loud noises from the tall buildings behind them and the vibrations on the ground make them Feeling an inexplicable fear.
horrible! !
And soon, this fear really became a naked reality. After focusing on clearing out the Japanese building defense positions, various artillery pieces began to pour out their fury on the Japanese infantry.
Using B4 howitzers for street fighting, why don't you just dismantle Chengde?
The Japanese army is also very sad. For a long time, they have defeated more with less, attacking more and suffering less. Many Japanese soldiers no longer arrange defenses. But now when they really encounter such large-scale street fighting, many Japanese soldiers have not changed their thinking.
When encountering permanent fortifications of the Japanese army, they would often call in B4 howitzers and fire them down. Not to mention the concrete fortifications, there was only a large pit of seven or eight meters, and all the surrounding buildings collapsed.
As for living? Sorry, even if you were hiding in the trench, you would still be killed by the shock wave of the explosion that would shatter your internal organs.
…
Jiro Sakai dexterously controlled his beloved Army Type 92 aircraft and a dozen of his companions to the front line.
The supporting aircraft flew majestically in the sky over China. Every time he took off and looked down at the land from the air, he felt a sense of supreme pride and accomplishment.
He always felt that this land should belong to Japan, so that he would not have to live a hard life without having enough to eat.
Jiro Sakai has suffered from the lack of food and lack of food since he was a child. When he was growing up in his hometown in Japan, no matter how hard his family worked on the barren land, they could not satisfy Jiro Sakai's growing stomach. When Jiro Sakai was studying, he worked very hard and passed the Japanese Air Force Pilot School. After being eliminated at all levels, he finally became an air force pilot.
Whenever Jiro Sakai saw that China had such a vast and rich land and resources, Jiro Sakai became more disgusted with the Chinese people.
Since junior high school, his seniors have told him in a face-to-face manner that the Chinese are weak, selfish, and an inferior nation, and they do not deserve to have such fertile land and such rich resources.
The young Jiro Sakai participated in the military operation to invade Manchuria at the end of the 1930s from the beginning as a pilot.
From then on, the more he lived on the land of China, the more he agreed with the senior's words.
Because the Chinese people he saw had no backbone at all, just as the instructor told him when he was studying in the military academy, the Chinese people were not only stupid but also lazy, and more importantly, they were easily divided, as long as it was for a little benefit. , they will sell anything and everything.
His results were not rich, because the Chinese army had almost no fighter jets, so his mission was almost always easy.
Jiro Sakai paid special attention to today's flight mission. Not only did he get up early in the morning to prepare, but he also personally maintained his beloved aircraft.
Because he received an order yesterday to support the Sixth Division in Chengde. He heard that the Chinese also have airplanes, but in his opinion, the Chinese can also fly airplanes? Probably just taking off.
He plans to use a good attack today and use more results to advance his promotion.
Just when he was imagining that he could complete the task well and get rewards next week to advance, an instinctive sense of crisis made him pull the plane aside involuntarily! !
