The wind and rain are getting more and more intense.
The cold raindrops hit people's faces, like frost knives piercing the skin.
The soldiers who successfully crossed first helped each other ashore.
They were frozen.
The hand holding the gun turned blue.
All the resolute faces looked extremely dull and stiff at the moment!
despite this.
They had no complaints.
Dragging two frozen legs, they dispersed into a battle formation.
Relying on the trees and slopes on both sides of the river embankment as bunkers, a triangular fire network was formed in a short period of time to cover the soldiers crossing the river.
Crossing the Wulie River
…
Upper Valley.
Two Japanese tanks traveling side by side drove straight towards the blocking position of the 4th Independent Brigade.
Behind the two tanks advancing.
The Japanese infantrymen wore raincoats and walked side by side.
Jin Sungwook wiped a handful of rainwater that covered his eyes.
"Ready to fight!"
The soldiers hiding behind the blocking bunker responded quickly.
They quickly got into their respective fighting positions.
Set up light and heavy machine guns to deal with incoming enemies!
Kim Sung-wook looked at the two tanks marching side by side.
The thick tracks carried muddy water and splashed in both directions.
He wiped the water mist in front of the telescope lens.
Then he looked at the approaching tank.
Behind the tank.
There were two rows of Japanese soldiers running side by side on the outside.
The first Japanese soldier walking in the row on the left is carrying a military flag.
Their team walked very neatly.
All wearing raincoats.
At a glance, you can tell that they are different from ordinary troops.
Beside Kim Sung Wook, behind the bunker.
Two forward observers from the 101st Division Artillery Brigade stood quietly.
The two of them were squatting, with a raincloth protecting the radio.
One person was hunched over, with one hand protecting the surveying mirror and the other holding the stabilizer rod.
"Coordinates northeast!"
"17 sec to the left!"
"It's 7,000 meters away."
"High or low plus 9!"
"The enemy is moving tanks, requesting artillery fire!"
The front observer didn't finish speaking.
The communications soldiers squatting in the trench quickly reported the data to the artillery brigade.
In the rain.
Kuancheng.
The artillery brigade had just completed its transfer and deployed its artillery beds.
All heavy artillery gunners were on standby in the rain.
Waiting for the order to bombard.
Suddenly.
The artillery correspondent reports data to the artillery brigade forward.
Lei Suisheng immediately ordered:
"Eight rounds of loading, coordinates are northeast, 17 mi to the left, distance is 7000, plus 9 for high and low!"
"Deposit the elements!"
…
"Good shot!"
"Good second shot!"
"..."
"fire!"
Then Lei Suisheng roared.
Eight rounds of 150mm howitzers exploded.
The shells drew an arc in the gloomy sky.
There was a loud bang on the road ahead of the upper valley!
The tank that was still moving a second ago exploded with a bang!
Jin Chengxu was stunned.
He couldn't help but look at the two young brothers from the artillery brigade beside him.
"brother!"
"Cow!"
There was no response from the forward observer.
Their mission is to act as the eyes of the artillery brigade.
After the data given by the surveying instrument and precise calculations, the data of the impact point of the bullet was obtained.
And report to the artillery brigade for long-range strikes!
soon.
A new round of data is reported to the artillery brigade front.
The moment the tank exploded.
The Japs following behind immediately dispersed, and the heavy machine gunner then lay prone on the ground, shooting aimlessly in the open space ahead!
Tomohisa Fukuyama hid beside a ruined wall.
He held the pistol and looked at the blazing tank.
The whole person was in a state of confusion.
What kind of shells.
Can the tank be blown to pieces in an instant? ? ?
When he was doubtful.
Boom~
Boom~
Explosions resounded along the road they were marching on.
Many Japs in the middle of the road were blown away.
Tomohisa Fukuyama squatted next to the wall.
Protect your head with your hands.
With an explosion, the wall around him collapsed.
The sound of broken bricks and tiles suffocated him underneath.
The major who was squatting not far away from him saw the moment the wall collapsed and quickly covered his eyes with his hands...
fine.
I didn’t see the scene where the wall fell down and hit the colonel.
otherwise.
He will feel guilty.
"idiot!!"
Tomohisa Fukuyama was pressed into a pile of rocks, shouting randomly.
When the major heard the sound, he immediately rushed forward and started to save people.
"Colonel, Colonel, are you okay?"
Clear away the pile of rocks.
The major held Fukuyama Tomohisa's arm.
He was forcibly pulled out of the mound.
Tomohisa Fukuyama was furious.
His clean military uniform was suddenly covered in mud.
Dirty as a clay figure!
At this time, the flames of the tank car went out.
He looked at the sandbags piled on the road not far ahead.
He pulled out his saber with a clatter.
"The target is right ahead!"
"700m obstacle!"
"Bombardment!"
soon.
The Japanese pushed a 75mm infantry gun and stopped in the middle of the road.
Then quickly fire the gun.
boom!
With the sound of a cannon.
The first blocking defense line at the front of the 4th Independent Brigade was instantly razed to the ground.
Good thing.
Jin Chengxu took the people to the roadside in advance.
There were no troop casualties.
He originally wanted to avoid the bombardment of Japanese tanks.
Unexpectedly, this move saved everyone’s life!
…
At the end of a round of Japanese shelling.
Life ends here.
The artillery brigade's Lei Sui Health Department once again fired according to the direction given by the forward observer.
Eight rounds of 150mm howitzers exploded instantly.
The 75mm infantry gun just launched by the Japanese.
Exploded instantly.
The wheels and cannon barrels were blown several meters away.
The infantry cannon fell apart!
Fukuyama Tomohisa's expression froze.
He looked at the two-meter-deep crater not far away.
Scared him to death!
How could Chinese soldiers have such powerful artillery? ? ?
"Colonel, what should I do?"
Major squatted next to Tomohisa Fukuyama. He was afraid that the 19th Brigade behind them wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Fukuyama Tomohisa was silent for a long time.
"The artillery fire of the Chinese soldiers was too fierce."
"Only by getting involved with them can we prevent artillery from hurting us again!"
"Command the troops and rush forward to fight them!"
"Machine gun cover!!"
…
"Hai!"
The Major responded.
soon.
A large number of Japanese soldiers armed with light machine guns, Type 38 rifles, and MP18 submachine guns charged towards the 4th Independent Brigade position.
…
Jin Chengxu was stunned.
Looking at the Japs charging forward shouting slogans.
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Is there such a good thing?
"Don't even shoot!"
"Put the devil closer and then hit him!!"
Jin Chengxu looked at the Japanese who were getting closer and closer, and he was very excited.
Waited for them all morning.
The brothers were freezing to death.
When you see the Japanese, everyone becomes energetic.
Otherwise the artillery brigade would have killed the Japanese tanks first.
They may be the ones who can charge.
Jin Chengxu was a little excited. He looked at the soldiers sent by the two artillery brigades.
"hey-hey!"
"Brothers, go to the back and find a place to take shelter from the rain."
"Just leave it to us."
Artillery brigade forward observer: "..."
They have orders.
As long as the artillery positions remain.
Their mission is first and foremost to save their lives.
Any time.
Do not fight head-on with the Japanese.
Because of these people.
They are all top students from the artillery department.
Those are math geniuses.
The two of them saluted Kim Sung Wook without hesitation.
"Take care of yourself!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they put away the surveyor and radio, and ran quickly to withdraw from the battle.
Next.
It is a life and death contest between the 4th Independent Brigade and the 147th Infantry Regiment!
