I really came here to fight against Japan
Chapter 76: The Artillery Company's First Battle Achieves Great Success
Takeda sat in his command chariot, feeling smug and using his imagination.
Then he heard something flying over his tank.
From the artillery positions in their rear, the sound of artillery shells exploding could be heard faintly.
Takeda: What? Did the cannons behind us explode? These poor artillerymen!
Commander Zheng was using his telescope to observe the direction of the Japanese artillery positions.
What kind of cannon did Song Wenwan use? The power of the explosion of this cannonball is too great, isn't it?
Although this place was far away from the Japanese artillery position, due to the low magnification of his telescope, he could not see clearly.
But vaguely, it seemed as if I saw the wheels of a cannon cart flying into the sky.

"what happened?"
Hearing the faint sounds of explosions coming from the direction of the Japanese army, the theater commander and the chief of staff rushed out of the headquarters.
As soon as I came out, I heard the observation post on the roof shouting in ecstasy.
"It's hit, it's hit, sir, it's the artillery fired from Division Commander Zheng's position.
They only fired two shells and destroyed two Japanese field guns.
It seems that a shell from the Japanese artillery position had just exploded.
The ammunition depot next to it was detonated, otherwise the artillery position would not have made such a big noise."
The noise was quite loud, so the commander-in-chief didn't even need to go up to the roof to observe.
From the scene, a small mushroom cloud had formed about seven or eight miles away and lingered in the sky for a long time.
The theater chief of staff clapped his hands and shouted, "If I had known earlier that Song Wenwan had such powerful artillery under his command, I would have let him take action earlier."
As he was speaking, four more artillery shells were fired from Commander Zheng's position.
The observation post on the roof shouted again: "Well done, Commander-in-Chief, Division Commander Zheng and his men have destroyed four more of the Japanese field guns.
Hahahaha, all the Japanese cannons were destroyed by Commander Zheng and his men."
The commander-in-chief and the theater chief of staff looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this Song Wenwan cheating?
With only six shells, they destroyed six field guns of the Japanese? And also destroyed an ammunition depot of the Japanese?
If we tell this to others, who will believe it? Will the people at the Wuhan Military Headquarters think we are bragging?

Commander Zheng of the Gui Army had just had his dislocated jaw healed by medical soldiers.
He rubbed his chin and said, "The ancients always said something like 'jaw dropped'. I didn't believe it at first, but now I really believe it!"
Commander Zheng looked at Song Wenwan who was giggling and said, "Tell me, what's going on with you? How come your artillery is so accurate?"
Song Wenwan said: "The Japanese now look down on us too much. They bully us because we lack long-range firepower.
His artillery position has been there for three days and has not been moved.
My artillery has been targeting them for a long time, so today, I will give them a fatal blow.
As for the explosion of the Japanese ammunition depot, it was purely coincidental. Let's just call it bad luck for the Japanese!"
In this matter, it was really because of the carelessness of the Japanese artillery.
For many days in a row, even the Chinese army’s mortars could not be seen, let alone their long-range artillery.
The Japanese disliked it because it was too troublesome to move the shells around every day.
Later, I realized that I didn't have many shells left.
Just put the shells directly behind a gun position.
It happened that Song Wenwan's artillery was lucky. When they were bombarding, one of their shots hit the shells piled up by the Japanese army.
Song Wenwan smiled and said to the artillery company commander: "Record all the merits for me. When we return home, we will continue to open the ancestral hall!"
Takeda of the tank brigade was already sweating on his forehead.
Although he didn't know what was happening at the artillery position behind him.
But when she opened the tank cover, she still saw the flames in the billowing black smoke behind it.
It's over. Based on his experience back then, the field artillery units behind him might no longer exist.
At this time, he had already begun to have the idea of retreating.
But thinking about the sullen face of the regiment commander, he gritted his teeth and commanded the tanks behind to continue the attack.
The tank he was riding in, unknowingly, fell behind all the tanks.
The regiment commander who was sitting in the back looked at the tank captain with disdain.
I was thinking, if the attack fails again today, I must kill this cowardly guy.
Because they were afraid of a surprise attack by the Nationalist troops in the village, the Japanese tanks were positioned to the back.
After they crossed the Japanese trenches, the infantry broke out of their positions and followed the Japanese tanks.
Looking at the Japanese, the Type 95 light tank was getting closer and closer to the National Army's trenches.
Song Wenwan once again gave the order, "Artillery Company, it's time for our Type 92 infantry artillery to show its power.
Destroy all the Japanese tanks!"
When the Japanese first came out, they were still quite cautious.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sign of the Kuomintang's artillery coming out to bombard their tanks.
The Japanese Type 92 infantry guns positioned in the front suddenly launched an attack on the artillery positions of the Gu Army.
Fortunately, Song Wenwan had already notified the artillery company and decided to quit while the going was good.
After firing six shells, they would retreat to the next gun position to prepare.
The Japanese artillery responded quickly, but they didn't expect Song Wenwan to be more cunning and run so fast.
This is why his space cannot be exposed. Otherwise, if he were given a motorcycle, he would be able to place cannons everywhere.
The Japanese soldiers over there saw that their artillery was powerful, but the artillery of the National Army was silent.
They believed that their own artillery had destroyed the Kuomintang's artillery, and they immediately increased the speed of their charge.
It’s no wonder that the Japanese were so confident. In the early days of the War of Resistance, the Japanese were still very capable in fighting.
Due to economic reasons, the National Army's artillery training was seriously insufficient.
In a contest between artillery units of equal size, the National Army was simply unable to compete with the Japanese.
But this time the Japs miscalculated, as they were facing artillerymen from the Xigan Allied Forces who had trained their artillery shells.
Almost at the same time, the Xigan Allied Forces' four Type 92 infantry guns and two Type 41 mountain guns opened fire at the same time.
Just when the Japanese tanks stopped and were about to fire at the National Army's trenches, the National Army's artillery shells arrived first.
The Japanese didn't expect that the National Army didn't have a suicide squad to charge this time.
There was no movement in the trenches, but behind the trenches, there were four Type 92 infantry guns waiting for them.
In an instant, four artillery shells surrounded the Japanese tanks.
Just when the Japanese tank soldiers had not yet reacted.
Accompanied by four balls of fire, the Japanese's tiny tanks turned into two burning graves.
Immediately afterwards, two Type 41 mountain artillery shells flew towards the position of the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun.
Although the Japanese artillery positions were not hit, the Japanese artillery immediately panicked.
The range of the artillery on both sides differs by almost half.
The problem now is that the National Army’s artillery can defeat the Japanese, but the Japanese’s artillery cannot reach them.
Under the command of the Japanese artillery squadron leader, the four infantry guns were immediately pulled back, fearing that the National Army's artillery would find them.
He really guessed it right. In less than half a minute, the Kuomintang's artillery shells fired.
Two Type 41s fired six rounds at once. The Japanese left behind two scrapped Type 92s and fled in panic.
