I rise from the sword

Chapter 371 The devils attack, and the thunder cannon shows its power again!

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Since the previous tentative attack did not achieve the intended effect, the Devil Artillery could not find the important firepower position of the defenders. In order to achieve the shelling effect, the Devil Artillery could only extend the coverage area and time of the artillery strike.

This bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, and countless shells, carrying Masami Honma's anger, fell down one after another like free stones, blasting the positions of the Zhongrui Regiment inside and outside Fenyang County into flames, flying sand and flying stones.

I don't know, I thought it was the end of the world.

But unfortunately.

Due to the lack of accurate coordinates, the devil's shells can only cover a wide range of bombardments.

In addition, the soldiers of the Zhongrui Regiment had been prepared for a long time. They dug a lot of cat ear holes in the trenches to defend against artillery, and also wrapped a layer of quilts in the cat ear holes to weaken the power of the shock wave from the ground.

That is to say, the Zhongrui regiment won successive battles and seized so many supplies from the little devils, which is why they are so arrogant.

For other troops, take the Sichuan Army as an example. They still wear single clothes and broken straw sandals for three or nine days. Even wearing thick clothes to keep warm is an extremely extravagant thing, let alone using quilts to reduce the shock wave of devil shells up.

After all, the trench of the Zhongrui Regiment is not a straight line, but a meandering curve, so that even if the shell falls in the trench, it can minimize the damage of the shock wave as much as possible.

As a result, the devil's shelling for nearly an hour did not have a very good killing effect on the Zhongrui regiment.

The so-called cat-ear hole is the cat-ear-shaped blast hole dug by Yang Lin on the walls of the trenches for teaching the soldiers based on the experience of the People's Liberation Army and the Volunteer Army of later generations.

The structure of the cat ear hole is very simple, only a few pieces of wood are needed to complete it, which can prevent both artillery and air defense.

With the protection of a layer of quilt and the 'S' shaped trench, it is enough to offset most of the shells and bombs.

In this way, the casualties of the defenders can be effectively reduced!
Like other national army troops in the battle with the devils, the fortifications dug were basically in a straight line, and there were no cat ear holes, and some of them were not even deep enough.

In addition, the officers and soldiers were poorly trained and lacked actual combat experience.

Therefore, when the devil's shells are fired, the casualties are often very heavy.

After all, Yang Lin is a time traveler, and he has the black technology of the system. Compared with the soldiers of this era, the knowledge concepts he has mastered are at least a century advanced.

And behind these advanced knowledge concepts are all forged by countless soldiers in every era with their lives and blood!
……

On the battlefield, as soon as the devil's cannons stopped, Zhou Yun, Luo Jun, Li Yizhou and others also got out from the bunkers of their respective battalion command posts.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of each company and platoon also filed out of the large and small cat ear holes and entered the trenches. The ammunitionists moved out boxes of ammunition and put them in the most suitable positions.

The soldiers performed their duties and prepared for battle as quickly as possible.

For a moment, the trenches were filled with the sound of footsteps, the sound of the kettle hitting the waist, and the sound of pulling the bolt and pushing the bullet into the chamber...

Japanese army.

With the order of division commander Masami Honma, the devils all concentrated a large number of troops this time.

He planned to launch a fierce attack in turn, and was about to attack the position of the Zhongrui regiment in one go.

In addition to a large number of infantry, Masami Honma also had the 27th Division's own tanks and armored vehicles, as well as newly added tanks and armored vehicles, all of which were put in to coordinate the infantry's charge.

Looking around, on the wilderness in front of each battalion, a large number of devils swarmed in groups, carrying a small number of tanks and armored vehicles, all yellow in excrement, swarming like a wave.

Many of the Zhongrui Regiment were recruits recruited after the Battle of Jiaocheng Mountain. Although they had already been on the battlefield, they had not experienced such a big scene. They couldn't help but feel a little scared and nervous at this moment.

Fortunately, there were still many veterans in the Zhongrui Regiment, and these veterans became the backbone of the company and platoon and grassroots officers.

Driven and encouraged by the veterans, although the recruits are still a little nervous and scared, they will not collapse.

Especially thinking of their parents and family members who were bullied by little devils, the eyes of the soldiers gradually filled with murderous intent.

The fear dissipated...

In the city, the headquarters of the Zhongrui Regiment.

After Yang Lin got the report, he immediately ordered Zhao Yuting to prepare artillery support.

At the same time, the battalions also quietly took out their flying thunder cannons and deployed them to the forward positions.

"Brothers, hit me hard!"

When a large number of devil infantry, under the coordinated cover of tanks and armored vehicles, swarmed into the range.

The soldiers of the defenders opened fire one after another, covering them with a dense rain of bullets.

"Puff puff puff..."

The little devils rushing forward were caught off guard, and immediately fell to the ground screaming.

"Baga! Counterattack, counterattack! The machine gun team fire cover!!!"

The little devils who reacted immediately approached the nearby tanks and armored vehicles, and then pulled the triggers one after another to launch a counterattack.

"Tut, chug, da da da!"

"Crack, clap clap..."

The two sides quickly launched a fierce exchange of fire. For a while, countless bullets flew back and forth between the enemy and us, and people were constantly shot and killed.

However, since the defenders of the Zhongrui Regiment had trenches as cover, the casualties of the little devils were relatively much higher.

At this moment, nearly a hundred flying thunder cannons fired almost simultaneously.

More than 100 TNT explosive packs weighing 10 kilograms swayed and flew towards the devils to attack the crowd with a loud noise.

Falling into their infantry group, a violent explosion suddenly occurred!
But what I saw was first clusters of dazzling red lights rising from the ground, straight into the sky, rolling up dust all over the sky, followed by a deafening bang.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

Huge flames and thick smoke immediately scattered in the crowd of devils, as if the world had come to an end.

Countless devil soldiers were torn into a pool of rotten flesh by the scorching shock wave.

All the little devils who fell within 30 meters of the explosive package were all blown to pieces, bloody stumps and broken arms scattered everywhere along with the blasting shock wave.

Several Devil tanks also happened to be bombarded by flying thunder cannons. The violent impact directly lifted the top cover of the Devil tanks, and the tank soldiers in the cabin didn't even know what happened, so they were killed on the spot .

The Japanese infantry hiding on the sides and rear of the tank were also affected one after another, causing a large number of casualties.

Immediately afterwards, the artillerymen of the Zhongrui Regiment struck while the iron was hot, firing the second and third rounds of shells one after another...

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!—"

The violent explosion resounded over the entire Fenyang County, and it seemed that the sky would be blown up.

This battle has already related to the life and death of the Zhongrui Regiment, so it is naturally impossible for Yang Lin to save shells at this time.

In fact, since the first battle in Cangyunling, Yang Lin has never saved shells.

Only the poor can strike accurately. With this condition, of course it must be covered by firepower!
Use what you have, use as much as you have!

The strong artillery counterattack of the Zhongrui Regiment caused huge casualties to the Japanese attacking troops.

After 5 rounds of bombardment, Masami Honma's offensive force composed of nearly [-] people had more than one-third of casualties!

Although most of them were only injured and not life-threatening.

But the wounded will have a greater impact on the combat effectiveness of an army.

To use the simplest analogy, if only one person died, it would only reduce one person's combat effectiveness.

But if one person is injured, at least one person needs to take care of him, or even more.

Therefore, the wounded have a greater impact on the combat effectiveness of an army.

Especially the special forces, when fighting against the enemy, when they need to provide cover for their own side, or buy time, they often do not directly kill them, but wound them...

The book is back to normal!

Although one-third of the casualties of the devil's attacking troops were not caused by the firepower of light and heavy weapons of the defenders, and the shelling of the artillery battalion.

However, most of the casualties were actually caused by the flying thunder cannons.

The most important thing is that when the Feilei Cannon exploded, it was terrifying and powerful, which caused a huge shock to the devils' hearts!

Ever since, all the little devils who survived by chance have a deep fear of this black technology weapon that they have never seen before!

The distraught little devils didn't care about the military orders, let alone the bloody and horrible corpses of their companions who were blown up.

Even the companions who were injured and lying on the ground begging for help abandoned, turned around and ran away one after another.

The offensive collapsed!

"Bagaya Road!"

"Come back, don't back up! Don't back up!!!"

Some devil officers tried to prevent the soldiers from retreating, and even shot and killed several soldiers who took the lead in fleeing, but their morale collapsed, and no matter how much they yelled, it was of no avail.

In the end, these devil officers had no choice but to give up the scolding, and retreated with the remaining troops...

The news of the failure of the offensive force was quickly transmitted back to the headquarters of the Japanese 27th Division.

The head of the division, Masamune Honma, was shocked when he heard the news. He thought that with the strength of the Zhongrui Regiment, it would be very difficult for the attacking troops to capture Fenyang County in one go.

Therefore, he did not push all his troops up, but planned three attacks.

However, the old devil never expected that the attacking force would fail so quickly and so thoroughly.

"Nani? The attacking troops of the imperial army were bombarded by the mysterious heavy artillery from the sharp regiment of the Chinese army?"

"Hi Yi!"

The communication staff officer who answered the phone paused abruptly, and replied with a very solemn face: "The heavy weapons used by the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army are extremely powerful and have caused huge losses to the attacking troops!

Those explosions just now were made by these heavy weapons! "

"What kind of heavy weapon is it? As far as I know, apart from a heavy artillery brigade, the Chinese Army in the second theater probably didn't equip other troops with heavy artillery with a caliber above 100mm, right?" Masami Honma frowned. Puzzled.

"I don't know about this humble position." The communications staff shook his head.

Then the staff officer of the lieutenant officer thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, division chief, could it be the heavy howitzer that was captured by the imperial army before?"

Honma Masami also expressed doubts. In order to clarify the specific situation, he ordered: "Bring me Fujita Nobunosuke who directed the attack on the east gate. I want to find out the situation myself!"

"Hay!" The devil's lieutenant responded, and immediately sent someone to notify the Japanese commander in charge of the attack.

Not long after, Nobunosuke Fujita, the new captain of the 1st Infantry Regiment, was ordered to come here in fear.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have let you down because of my humble and incompetent position. Please punish me!" Fujita Nobunosuke bowed his head and admitted his mistake as soon as he entered the door.

Honma Masami waved his hand and said, "Fujita-kun, you don't have to rush to blame yourself, besides, it's not just your 1st Squadron that failed.

Tell me, are the heavy artillery you encountered the ones with a caliber of more than 100mm that were lost at Jiaocheng Mountain? "

Nobunosuke Fujita breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the head of the division, Masama Honma, had no intention of punishing him, and then replied: "Reply to the head of the division, Your Excellency, I believe that the heavy artillery used by the Chinese army is definitely not from the imperial army. The large-caliber artillery, because I found out that its firing position should be somewhere outside the city of the Chinese Army, not inside the city.

At such a short distance, let alone a heavy artillery with a caliber exceeding 100mm, it is not even a mortar! "

As we all know, the range of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100mm is extremely amazing, at least it can reach more than 10 kilometers.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Masami Honma frowned and thought for a while, and then ordered the communications staff to contact the 2nd Garrison Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Garrison Infantry Regiment, and the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade who were attacking the other three gates. group.

After some questioning, the old devil finally understood that the mysterious weapon equipped by the Zhongrui Regiment was probably the kind of mysterious cannon that caused huge losses to the Japanese army in the previous battle.

Many devil troops have suffered from flying thunder cannons. Therefore, flying thunder cannons are actually not a secret to the Japanese army.

Of course, the little devil only knew that the Zhongrui regiment had such a batch of secret weapons in their hands. As for other information about the secret weapons, they didn't even know what they looked like.

After all, the Feilei Cannon was a strategic weapon for the Zhongrui Regiment, so Yang Lin naturally needed to keep it a secret, so as not to let the ghost spies know about it easily.

Therefore, so far, the Japanese army has not mastered any detailed information about the Feilei Cannon.

I just know that the Zhongrui Regiment has a powerful mysterious heavy artillery.

"Your Excellency, Commander, if you don't destroy the mysterious heavy artillery of the China Sharp Regiment of the Chinese Army, if you continue to attack, even if you can capture Fenyang County and wipe out the stubborn Zhongrui Regiment, the imperial army will inevitably suffer great casualties. The impact of our next strategic plan is too great." In order to be able to take over the position, the devil's lieutenant officer gave advice to Masami Honma: "Therefore, I believe that we should first find a way to destroy them, and then make a plan! Please division commander Your Excellency, think twice!"

Honma Masami frowned, pondered for a while, and said through gritted teeth: "Immediately, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the officer to send an air force to support us! Launch air firepower on the position of the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army and Fenyang County. Attack!
To assist us in destroying the heavy artillery of the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army!Take down this great threat for the attacking force! "
