Bright sword, I have a red police base car

In the direct firing position of the 129th Division Artillery Regiment, the th Heavy Artillery Company first fired a salvo.

The horizontal recoil generated by the artillery launch pushed the several-ton artillery back. Fortunately, the soldiers of the artillery regiment made corresponding preparations before launching and placed the artillery very stably.

However, under the strong recoil, even the most solid preparations became loose. If they wanted to fire again, the Eighth Route Army's artillery could only re-establish their positions.

When the Japanese army entered the heavy artillery direct attack range of the troops, the first thing they encountered was not the blocking of the infantry of the second company of the artillery regiment guards, but nine 9mm heavy artillery shells!

"Boom~boom~boom~!..."

With a burst of intensive explosions, the little Japanese's already dense offensive formation after a long pursuit encountered direct hits from nine 9mm howitzer shells.

Thanks to the development of modern explosives technology, the lethality of the artillery shells supplied by the Red Police Force to the Eighth Route Army was ridiculously powerful compared to this era!

The damage area of ​​just 9 shells was enough to cover the entire Japanese offensive front.

"Nani? What happened with the explosion just now?" Hearing the violent explosion on the front line, the commander of the little devil asked anxiously.

"Tubal Road used heavy artillery to fire directly. The two squadrons responsible for the vanguard attack were all shattered under the shelling of Tubal Road!"

"Nani?!"

When the frontline commander of the Little Japanese heard about the two squadrons serving as the vanguard, he was not only surprised but also worried.

Their only artillery unit had been completely lost in the previous battle, and the offensive situation in other directions was not optimistic. Since the Eighth Route Army's position was supported by a large amount of anti-aircraft firepower from the air defense battalion, the Little Japanese's original numerical advantage was at this time It also seems a bit inadequate.

Now the Japanese army finally found the most promising breakthrough, but they were hit by the Eighth Route Army's direct-fire heavy artillery and suffered heavy casualties...

This was really unacceptable to the Japanese army.

As a commander who had fought against the Eighth Route Army for a long time in Jingxing County, he was very aware of the lethality of the Eighth Route Army's 122mm heavy artillery.

It would be okay if we encountered such a level of blow during a defensive battle. After all, defensive battles still require fortifications to preserve a certain amount of vitality. But if they encounter such large-caliber artillery fire on an unprotected attack route, they will have no choice but to pray for a quick death.

But now as time goes by, the support troops of the Eighth Route Army are getting closer and closer to here.

Once reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army arrive, their only option is death.

There isn't much time left for the little devil.

At this moment, the Japanese commander suddenly thought of a bright point, and then asked the Japanese second lieutenant who had just returned to report: "You just said that the heavy artillery on Tubal Road was a direct strike, right?"

"Hai! Your Excellency General, I just discovered the firing position of the Tubal Artillery during the reconnaissance. The distance from the vanguard is no more than 1,500 meters. This distance can only be used for direct fire!"

"well!"

Hearing this answer, the Japanese commander breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Order the offensive troops to increase their offensive intensity and ignore the artillery on Tubal Road. Their artillery's direct firepower is not sustainable enough!"

"Hai! General."

Based on the actual situation of heavy artillery direct fire, the Japanese commander could judge that the Eighth Route Army Artillery Regiment's direct fire continuity was seriously lacking.

Based on the current reinforcement model, after the 122mm large-caliber heavy artillery fires directly, the Eighth Route Army must re-reinforce its position, and the gap during this period is an opportunity for the Japanese army to attack.

The infantry unit on the opposite side now has less than a hundred people, and they have increased their offensive efforts and have no chance of successfully breaking through.

At the same time, this is also the little devil's only chance to win this battle!

After receiving the order, the Japanese army immediately increased their offensive intensity, put the last three remaining brigades into the battlefield, and began to open up the formation to learn.

After the Japanese army launched a crazy attack, the Second Company of Guards, which was responsible for the defense mission, also began to fight desperately with only its remaining troops. In this situation, both China and Japan are very clear that they must fight to the death.

Either you die or I die!

"Get out! Leave me alone and stop the Japanese army!"

The commander of the second company of guards who was hit in the arm by a stray bullet pushed away the health worker who was bandaging him and ordered them to continue attacking the little devil.

As for his injuries, the Second Company Commander, as a veteran, knew that there was no major problem. The top priority now was to block the Japs and buy time for the artillery in the rear.

But neither the kid nor the second company of guards knew that in addition to the seventh heavy artillery company that was currently strengthening its position, there was also an eighth heavy artillery company that was also ready to launch and adjusted its strike position under the instructions of the forward observers.

Due to the large caliber and long barrel of the 122mm howitzer equipped by the Eighth Route Army, its direct trajectory is very smooth and is difficult to be affected by the surrounding environment.

With this advantage, the Eighth Route Army's artillery naturally had to make full use of it, aiming as much as possible at the location where Japanese troops gathered in large numbers, and inflicting maximum casualties on the little Japanese.

"Seventh Company, how long do you have to complete the reinforcement mission?!"

"5 minutes!"

"it is good!"

After learning that the Seventh Company was about to complete a new round of reinforcements, the commander of the Eighth Heavy Artillery Company immediately ordered: "The Eighth Heavy Artillery Company, all companies, pay attention! Fire a salvo at the intended target, let go!"

"Boom~..."

Seeing the fire coming from behind the second company of guards, a Japanese captain was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out!

"Why are the artillery reinforcements on Tubal Road so fast?!"

In this situation, just think about it and you will understand that the artillery deployed by the Eighth Route Army here is definitely more than the unit that just opened fire, but the Japanese captain who has not thought carefully has also lost the opportunity to think.

In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army artillery observers, his brigade headquarters was an area with a dense concentration of personnel, and it must be the area where the Eighth Heavy Artillery Company had priority to strike.

So nine 9mm howitzer shells hit the little Japanese's attacking troops again.

The targets of this strike include densely populated areas, headquarters and heavy firepower points.

Although the strength of the Little Japanese attack reached 3 brigades, even a salvo of nine heavy artillery could not wipe out the opponent, but this round of artillery salvo also caused the Little Japanese to suffer heavy casualties.

The entire Japanese offensive force's offensive also came to a standstill under this round of artillery fire.

After all, the artillery reinforcement work could not be completed so quickly no matter how hard it was. The surviving Japanese commanders also immediately understood that the direct-fire artillery force deployed by the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was definitely more than the nine artillery pieces that fired.

After the Eighth Route Army's second round of artillery strikes, the morale of the little devils also dropped a lot.

The little devil didn't know if there would be a third one after the second strike unit appeared.

The killing power of direct fire from 122mm heavy artillery is not comparable to that of 75mm mountain and field artillery and 100mm mortars. That thing can explode into a large area!

Even if they have the advantage of troops, the little devil can't afford such a strategy!

But judging from the current situation, the little devils no longer have the opportunity to attack step by step.

After the Japanese commander learned that there was more than one artillery strike unit behind the Eighth Route Army infantry, his back molars were almost broken. At this time, he could only stare with red eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Order the troops to continue the attack and not to take a step back." , Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot on the spot!"

"Hai!"

After issuing the order, the Japanese Major General sat down on the chair and gritted his teeth and said: "Baga, I don't believe the Chinese still have artillery!"

After the little devil received the death order, he could only continue to attack despite the fear of large-caliber heavy artillery. However, for the Japanese army, the pressure to still attack under such circumstances was considerable. However, despite the death orders issued by their superiors, they still had to fight tooth and nail to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line, even though they knew they would suffer heavy casualties.

The little Japanese officer supervising the battle at the back even directly shot two little Japanese soldiers in the back in order to spur other Japanese troops, as a negative example to warn other grassroots Japanese soldiers.

Under this heavy pressure, the little devil's offensive intensity once again returned to its previous state.

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug"

"Squad leader, I'm out of bullets!" A machine gunner from the Second Guards Company shouted to the squad leader on the side after finishing his ammunition.

Normally, it is the job of the light machine gun deputy to change ammunition and ensure ammunition. However, during the transfer of positions, the light machine gun deputy was shot and died halfway, so the squad leader holding a submachine gun could only help him carry the ammunition. .

But the squad leader touched the bullet bag on his back and found that the bullet disc inside had been emptied.

So the squad leader handed the Type 50 submachine gun into the hands of the light machine gunner and said: "You use mine first, and I will find ammunition for you!"

"Okay! Please be safe!"

Then the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army ran towards the ammunition point in the rear, while the machine gunner held a submachine gun and fired at the Japanese troops.

As an artillery unit equipped with a large number of trucks, the 129th Division Artillery Regiment has no shortage of transportation capacity. Therefore, even if the Second Guard Company suffers heavy casualties, it still has no shortage of ammunition as long as it is still on its own position. of.

It didn't take long for the Eighth Route Army squad leader to run over with five ammunition trays for the Type 5 light machine gun on his back. Just as he was about to run to the foxhole where the light machine gunner was, a Japanese machine gunner also stared at him. .

"Tu tu tu~ tu tu~"

With two rounds of short bursts from the Japanese machine gunners, the Eighth Route Army squad leader was also hit in the thigh by the little Japanese, and then fell into the foxhole.

"Are you okay, monitor?!"

Seeing the blood spurting out from his thigh, the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army shouted to the machine gunner: "It's okay, you can't die!"

"Help me load the magazine!"

At this time, the light machine gunner who was focused on fighting the Japanese did not realize that the squad leader had been injured. His squad leader also took the light machine gun and installed the ammunition tray, intending to continue to block the Japanese army.

However, under such an intensity of the offensive, the Second Guard Company, which suffered more than half of its troops' casualties, could not hold on any longer, and then began to call for artillery from the rear for support.

"Company commander, the second company of guards can't hold on any longer and are in urgent need of artillery support now!"

Hearing this, the commander of the Seventh Heavy Artillery Company anxiously asked the platoon commanders: "How long will it take to reinforce the artillery?!"

"At least 3 more minutes!"

"Fuck you for three minutes. The reinforcement must be completed within one minute. If you don't finish it, I will shoot you!"

The commander of the Seventh Heavy Artillery Company issued a death order to his troops, but the actual situation could not change at all because of the death order.

At this time, the platoon commander of the 3th Heavy Artillery Company, who was carrying sandbags, heard this and shouted: "Company Commander, it's useless even if you shoot me now! The remaining three minutes of my life are already comrades risking their lives! We don't Silly, if the infantry comrades beat us all, we won’t be far away, but minutes is already the shortest time!”

Having said this, the commander of the Seventh Heavy Artillery Company could only shout to the correspondent through clenched teeth: "Please hold on for three more minutes from the Second Company of Guards!"

"Yes!"

……

"boom!"

"Company commander, the artillery battery asked us to hold on for another three minutes!"

Hearing this, the commander of the second company of the guards looked at the troops with less than 50 people left around him, then looked at the little Japs who were about to hit the front of the position and cursed angrily: "Fuck three minutes! One more minute. The little devil is here to fight!"

"Oh!"

As he said that, the commander of the second company of the guards killed a Japanese machine gunner with a 38-gun picked up from the hands of his fallen comrades, and then shouted loudly: "Comrades, don't save ammunition, open fire! Kill him!" If one is enough, kill two and make a profit!"

"Hahaha! I've killed more than a dozen of them, I'm already fucking good enough!"

"I'll try to kill 20 of them!"

Listening to the words of the brothers around him, the captain of the second company of guards smiled and loaded the 38 cap in his hand again.

"The enemy is 100 meters away, fire!"

After the little Japanese entered a hundred meters in front of the Second Guard Company's position, the firepower on the Eighth Route Army's position became intensive again.

"Squad leader, change the bomb!"

The light machine gunner who had just finished shooting a bullet tray called his squad leader, but his squad leader was dead at this time.

Seeing that the squad leader did not reply, the machine gunner turned his head and glanced at his squad leader. He was still holding a submachine gun in a fighting posture, but the blood under his body had soaked the surrounding soil.

The light machine gunner held back the tears in his eyes, took the bullet tray from the squad leader's back and loaded it on his gun, then started shooting wildly at the little Japs.

"Little devil, hold the straw for your grandma!"

"well!"

Seeing that the troops were about to board the defensive position of the Second Guard Company, the Japanese commander felt as if victory was in sight, and he sincerely expressed his original decision.

"Hashimoto-kun, let me just say that there can't be any other artillery units on Tubal Road!"

"Your Majesty General, I'll see you soon!"

But less than 5 seconds after the little devil's smile appeared, the intensive gunshots from behind the guard's second company position made the Japanese command headquarters' heart drop to the bottom again.

"Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu~..."

The sound of countless anti-aircraft machine guns and 23mm anti-aircraft guns rang out from the rear of the second company of the guard. The commander of the second company looked at the troops coming from behind in surprise, and then almost shed tears of excitement.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!"
