Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 50 Heavy Artillery Showdown!

"All parameters are set, let's conduct a test fire." At the position of the Japanese field artillery battalion, the battalion commander said in an excited tone as he looked at the twelve Type 105 mm field guns that had been debugged.

He also didn't expect that the Chinese army still had heavy artillery, and originally thought that it had been destroyed.

Who knows there is none at all.

This made him angry and excited at the same time.

When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.

Only by eliminating this tough opponent can you demonstrate your ability.

"Hay."

boom!
boom!
boom!
Twelve artillery shells flew directly towards Sun Qi’s artillery company position.

"The Japanese artillery is coming so quickly." Sun Qi looked at where the shells landed and couldn't help but be surprised.

It was just a few dozen meters away from hitting his artillery position.

"Keep firing." Sun Qi knew that his mission was to attract the Japanese artillery to open fire, thereby providing sufficient time for his own 150mm heavy artillery.

"Yes." The other artillerymen did not show any fluctuation on their faces. They continued to carry the shells skillfully, then loaded the shells into the gun barrels, pulled the ropes, and the shells smashed towards the Japanese positions.

"Damn it, what the hell is our artillery doing?" Colonel Watanabe Taryō, commander of the 1st Guards Regiment, roared angrily.

Because the shell just now hit a position not far from him, taking away more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

He now didn't know whether this was a coincidence or the enemy's heavy artillery had already aimed at his command post.

If it's the latter, then it's troublesome.

Maybe the next shell will take him away.

Fortunately, the next shells did not fall on his command post, which made him feel relieved.

The original attack plan was also stopped due to the heavy artillery bombardment.

Soldiers on both sides were waiting for the heavy artillery to decide the outcome.

"How is it, have you calculated the position of the Japanese artillery?" Lu Yuhua asked.

Just now, one of his 105mm howitzer positions was destroyed.

It has to be said that the Japanese artillery is quite capable.

Found his artillery position so quickly.

Although he felt sad, Lu Yuhua knew that this was the price he had to pay.

Destroy all the Japanese troops without any losses?

That's impossible.

After all, the Japanese army is not stupid.

Now he could only hope to figure out the Japanese artillery positions as quickly as possible, and then use heavy artillery to teach the Japanese a severe lesson.

"Report to the commander, we are still calculating." The words of the communications staff made Lu Yuhua a little annoyed.

However, he also knew that this kind of calculation involved a huge amount of computation, so he could only wait patiently.

"Okay, got it. Let them speed up." Lu Yuhua said.

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the communications staff came again: "Report to the commander, the Japanese artillery positions have been calculated."

"Very good, order, fire immediately and completely destroy the Japanese artillery positions."

"Yes."

As long as we take care of the Japanese artillery positions, the rest will be easy.

The range of the 150mm heavy howitzer is enough to block the Japanese army's retreat route.

When the time comes, if the entire regiment moves forward, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese Guards Brigade.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuhua became more and more excited.

In the rear, at the 150mm heavy howitzer position, Zhou Yi looked at the position that had been completely arranged, and behind each heavy artillery position, there were piles of shells. He nodded with satisfaction, then took the telegram that had just been sent, glanced at it, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, pay attention. Target is the Japanese artillery position. Coordinates: 15, azimuth: 60°, firing angle: 15-50°, distance: 5600 feet. Load high-explosive shells. Test fire three times. Ready...fire!"

The artillerymen who received the order quickly turned their artillery and adjusted the angle of the heavy artillery fire according to the order.

When everything was ready, the artillerymen pulled the gun ropes, the whole earth shook violently, and the shells of twelve 150mm heavy artillery flew towards the calculated coordinates.

As for the remaining four 170mm cannons, they were waiting not far away.

In a heavy artillery showdown, whoever can strike first will win.

Lu Yuhua used the 105mm howitzer position as bait in order to seize the initiative.

boom!
The first 150mm heavy artillery shell landed quickly on the ground.

The shock it brings far exceeds that of a 105mm howitzer.

Anyone who gets close will be shocked to death.

Even so, the commander of the Japanese field artillery battalion was frightened.

"Is this a 150mm heavy artillery?"

They are all experts in artillery. The caliber of a shell can be determined by the power of the shell when it explodes when it hits the ground.

He didn't expect that the Chinese army on the opposite side actually had 150mm howitzers.

This is really incredible.

"German-made 150mm howitzer?" This reminded him of the German-equipped division in the Battle of Shanghai.

Could it be them?
impossible.

Didn’t they run out of artillery shells at Kunlun Pass?
Otherwise, the 200th Division would not have failed to capture the Batang position after seven days and seven nights of fierce attack.

Isn’t it just that there are no more shells?
If there were still shells, it wouldn't be so tragic.

But the scene before him made him doubt his life again.

Are there any shells?
The intelligence community is a bunch of bastards.

"Retreat quickly, retreat immediately." At this time, he had no time to care about any tactical changes and could only retreat first.

It was obvious that they were coming for their artillery position.

But it was too late. After the test launch, what followed was a bombing like a storm.

The three shells landed accurately on the Japanese artillery position, instantly blowing the three Japanese artillery pieces into the sky.

"Baga, can you find the Chinese army's artillery positions?" The captain of the Japanese field artillery battalion also knew that it was too late to retreat now, and artillery was much more valuable than people.

Since we can't abandon the artillery, we can't retreat either.

It would be better to give it a try. He calculated the range of his own field artillery. As long as he was within range, he would have a chance.

"Hayi, I'm looking for it."

"Report to His Excellency the Captain, a large heavy artillery position of the Chinese Army has been discovered, the coordinates are..." Before he could finish his words, the artillery officer who was reporting was stunned.

I can’t reach it!

This range is far beyond the range of their field artillery.

"Hurry up and tell me." The captain of the Japanese field artillery battalion roared angrily.

"Report, our field artillery can't reach them, they are beyond our range." The artillery officer said with a look of grief and anger.

At some point, their field artillery could no longer reach the Chinese army's artillery positions.

In fact, they were just confused. Since they used 150mm howitzers, it must be far beyond the range of Japanese field artillery.

"Baga, retreat, retreat immediately, no more artillery."

Unfortunately, it was too late, their field artillery positions had been completely covered by heavy artillery shells.

On the other side, Sakurada Takenori looked at the heavy artillery shells passing through the sky with a blank look.

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
How could there be a 150mm howitzer?
Is this a real German-equipped division?
Do not!
I do not believe!

They are already gone!
But the explosion in his own position told him that this was true.

More importantly, after losing the suppression of the Japanese field artillery, Sun Qi's artillery company also began to roar and fired at the Japanese positions.

For a moment, the Japanese Army's 1st Guards Brigade was blown to pieces.
