The 15kg high-explosive grenade is not comparable to the 75mm caliber conventional artillery shells. The huge explosion power makes the little devils unable to find their way. Coincidentally, a shell landed right next to the 75 field gun, directly lifting the field gun into the air. The gun mount was blown to pieces, and the damaged gun wreckage scattered in all directions.
The lieutenant colonel pushed away the adjutant lying on top of him. The adjutant had died of anger, and he himself was not much better.
He covered his forehead, which was still bleeding, and opened his mouth to shout urgently to the surroundings, but his ears could not hear any other sound except the buzzing.
"Ah! Help..."
"Gu..."
"Move the artillery quickly, the enemy is not just bombarded by this wave!"
The little Japanese who survived could not care about their comrades who were still wailing on the ground. They screamed again and again, pushing their artillery anxiously, trying to move their position.
"Wha..." Another sharp sound sounded in the sky, and the second wave of shelling struck again.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom……"
Although the Krupp 105mm howitzer has a low rate of fire, it is more powerful than before. The four howitzers fired at a rate of 7 rounds per minute, pouring firepower rhythmically against the Japanese artillery positions!
"boom!"
Shells continued to fall on the artillery positions, splashing mud and body parts flying in all directions.
Lieutenant Colonel was lying on the ground and once again escaped the explosion of a shell. He calmed his dazed head, quickly stood up and shouted to the artillerymen:
"Speed up the transfer! Ask the observers to calculate their position immediately and counterattack! They don't have many artillery, and we still have an advantage!"
"Hi, Sir Lieutenant Colonel!"
Before the Japanese artillery lieutenant could give the order, there was another dull shelling sound from the other side of the river.
The artillery battalion of the Yu Division also joined the artillery battle, and nine old-fashioned Krupp 75mm field guns opened fire on the little Japanese one after another.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The artillery shells hit the Japanese position hard, and each wave had more than a dozen impact points popping up on the artillery position. The little devil was suppressed and had no temper. Soldiers were constantly being killed and injured by shrapnel and shock waves flying in all directions, and countless artillery pieces were destroyed.
"Baga, back off! Back off! Rescue the artillery and withdraw from the position immediately!"
The addition of fresh troops from Yu Xiaoqing's side made the Japanese artillery dare not counterattack. They quickly used all their strength and pushed the few remaining field guns and a few infantry guns out of the position.
The Japanese soldiers who were still fleeing on the east bank had no artillery cover, and their backs were completely exposed to the guns of the Sichuan Army. The soldiers would not be polite to them, and quickly used their guns to kill the enemies in front of them. On the entire east bank of the Nu River, the corpses of little Japanese were scattered all over the gentle slopes of this open terrain.
The fastest group of Japanese soldiers had pushed the raft halfway across the Nu River. However, under the bombardment of several mortars, the people on the raft fell into the water one after another and were instantly submerged by the rushing river...
"oh!"
"That's all for little devils, haha!"
"I won..."
On the Yu division's position, the soldiers of the first battalion of the Sichuan Army burst into violent cheers!
At this point, all the more than 700 attacking Japs were wiped out by the Sichuan Army. This battle showed the first momentum since the reorganization of the Sichuan Army.
They used sophisticated weapons and equipment and reasonable tactical arrangements to wipe out three Japanese infantry squadrons at the minimum cost, and their own losses were even negligible.
This battle doubled the confidence of every Sichuan Army soldier. Especially the newly joined soldiers, they finally realized that the little devil is not invincible, and they are full of confidence in future battles!
"You bastard, our current guns are more powerful than those of Xiaodong Yang. I can't believe it. They can't help but fight?"
Bula said in disbelief as he looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground. The burst of firepower they had just unleashed shocked themselves. The new guns and cannons assigned to them by the regiment commander were so powerful that they couldn't help it.
"Hey, regimental leader, if the entire regiment has these weapons, we can knock down Nantianmen directly."
Long Wenwen slashed his No. 4 sniper rifle and walked up to Liao Mingyu with a smile. It can be said that the firepower of their reinforced battalion was stronger than that of a full A-type regiment.
Especially the M2 heavy machine gun, good guy, this can open Long Wenwen's eyes. Bullets are fired continuously on a person and can beat him into a pile of minced meat. If you put this in the jungle, it doesn't matter if there are trees for cover, the tree and the person will be blown to pieces!
"The team's coordination is still a bit lacking, Deputy Commander Long, we have to continue training."
Liao Mingyu simply said, now is not the time to be proud, the Japanese just suffered from being caught off guard and the battlefield environment.
If they hadn't been able to enter the position first when they were about to be maimed, they would be the last ones to be passive.
Long Wenwen also nodded silently. Becoming an elite force is not something that happens overnight.
"Haha, you see, group leader, such a big thing happened, our Master Yu is here just now." Long Wenwen noticed the situation behind him, raised his chin, and motioned Liao Mingyu to look behind.
Liao Mingyu turned around and took a look. Oh yo... Master Yu really led a group of people and rushed towards him in a hurry.
When he came closer, Liao Mingyu looked at Yu Xiaoqing with a smile, and saw that he also looked disgraced. Obviously, the shelling at his headquarters just now was not easy.
Yu Xiaoqing opened the car door, got out of the car, and saluted Liao Mingyu with a military salute. He said in a deep voice:
"Today, my headquarters in the upstream section was also attacked by the Japanese. Fortunately, our headquarters also repelled the Japanese attack. Unexpectedly, not only that side, but also the launch line was also attacked."
"Haha, Master Yu is late. But it doesn't matter. Didn't I lead my people to help you block the hole?"
Liao Mingyu said nonchalantly. It turned out that the Japanese army also launched a wave of attacks in the upstream section. I also wrongly blamed him. I thought that this guy would be in chaos after being shelled and unable to restrain the troops.
"Needless to say, Yu thanked you for what you did!" Yu Xiaoqing still said to him lukewarmly with her bitter face.
"However, there is a regiment of mine stationed here, why bother Commander Liao to help?"
Yu Xiaoqing looked at the soldiers of Yu Division's regiment standing not far behind, feeling puzzled in her heart. No matter how bad these guys are, they can delay the Japanese attack. Let's wait for my main force to come over. Why does something seem wrong now?
Liao Mingyu laughed angrily at him. This Yu Xiaoqing actually didn't understand the situation.
"Well, I have to ask that good brother of yours."
"Qing Shen!?"
Yu Xiaoqing followed his gaze and saw his younger brother Yu Shenqing who was tied up by Wu Hua Da. I saw Yu Shenqing squatting next to the sandbag with a bruised nose and swollen face, her head lowered and not daring to look at him.
"You, my little brother, were frightened out of your wits after being shelled by the Japs. When I heard that you were killed by Japanese artillery shells, you fled backwards with your troops in disarray. I intercepted you halfway."
"If he were a soldier of our Sichuan Army, I would just treat him to peanuts."
Liao Mingyu answered his doubts calmly. No need to say anything more, Yu Xiaoqing can already roughly imagine what the scene was like at that time.
