Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

A soldier exclaimed, while Lao Ma smiled and said unhappily:

"What are you arguing about? I'm not blind yet.

Let's go and see what the artillery battalion's vehicles are doing here."

So, Lao Ma went down the mountain and waited for the convoy to arrive by the roadside.

"Captain Ma, my field artillery battalion has been ordered to establish a position at the foot of Jinji Mountain. I hope you can be responsible for the outer perimeter security work."

Zhu Kewu, commander of the field artillery battalion, got out of the car and spoke.

Hearing this, Lao Ma immediately became excited.

“Okay, okay, we will cooperate with your vigilance work.

But Lao Zhu, you should just call me Lao Ma, Lao Ma is more intimate."

In this way, Lao Ma ordered a company from Jinjiling to come down to guard the periphery of the field artillery battalion.

The commander of the field artillery battalion, Zhu Kewu, also acted quickly. He deployed eight 105mm field guns, calibrated, debugged, and set all the parameters in one go.

All I can say is that they have never slacked off in the past month or so.

Yes, unknowingly, Xiao Dingfang and others had been at Tiger Mountain for more than a month.

"Commander, the eight cannons of the field artillery battalion are already in position. I have also given them the firing parameters. Now we are just waiting for your order."

On Shiniu Mountain, Xiaozhuang came to report.

Hearing this, Xiao Dingfang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's deal with him!

Order the field artillery battalion to fire immediately, fire 30 salvos first, and then withdraw the field artillery position three miles after the salvos are completed.

"Yes!"

In Nangang Town, Sakai was furious when he saw that the attack was not going well, and immediately gave the order:

"Baka, what is the artillery brigade doing? Are all their shells fired into the sky? Why does Shiniu Mountain still have such powerful firepower?

Bombard, order the artillery battalion to continue bombarding."

"Hey!"

The order was issued here, and the commander of the field artillery battalion, Zhu Kewu, had also received the order.

"Everyone, get ready to fire, fire!"

As Zhu Kewu's voice rang out, the eight scattered 105 field guns roared angrily, and eight shells flew out of the gun barrels in the exploding flames, and then headed towards the Japanese field gun position.

People who often fire artillery know that 105mm shells are very powerful and should never be caught with your hands.

At this moment, behind Nangang Town, the Japanese artillery battalion was stationed.

They also received orders to continue the shelling.

But the next second, their sensitive ears seemed to hear the whistling of artillery shells.

Looking up, they saw eight shells coming towards them at an incredible speed.

Boom boom boom boom!

One shell after another hit the ground and exploded, creating countless shrapnel and a huge shock wave.

For a moment, the entire Japanese artillery position was submerged by the shock wave.

Those who were close to the explosion had their entire bodies shattered, with broken limbs flying all over the sky.

Those who were at medium distance had their clothes torn and their internal organs injured by the huge impact.

Even if they were far away, they would be blown several meters away by the shock wave.

Boom, boom, boom, the violent explosion created countless smoke and dust, drowning the Japanese.

shhhhhh!

The second round of artillery shells came, one after another hit the yellow smoke and dust, and then exploded, and the visible shock wave spread in all directions.

Faintly one could see some lucky Japanese soldiers being blown into the sky, flying out of the yellow smoke and dust, and then falling back down.

shhhhhh...

The third round of bombardment, the fourth round, the fifth round...

Just four minutes later, Zhu Kewu had finished firing 4 rounds of salvos.

He resolutely obeyed the order, and after the volley was fired, he immediately ordered the field artillery to start moving to the rear.

All I can say is that this 1.75-ton field artillery is not very convenient to move with a truck.

Of course, Zhu Kewu was happy, but the Japanese artillery battalion was in trouble.

Under the bombardment of 8 105mm field guns, their artillery could not be moved, and several cannons were directly damaged by close hits.

It's not just the power of the 105 field gun, but also the power of the shell explosion. That power is truly terrifying.

The Japanese were unable to escape, and after 20 rounds of salvos, almost all of the more than 200 Japanese soldiers on the entire field artillery position were killed.

Twelve field guns were also burned in the sea of ​​fire and were all scrapped.

Of course, the artillery battalion had more than 200 people, but the rest were not on the battlefield, but only in logistics positions.

But even so, the artillery battalion no longer has field artillery, so what use are the remaining people?

Although Xiao Dingfang didn't know how many people were killed in the explosion, he could still see the huge noise caused by the artillery shells exploding.

People who frequently fire artillery know that the most feared thing on an artillery position is the detonation of a shell, the power of which is truly incredible.

"You must be sweating all over, Xiao Sakai!" Xiao Dingfang said happily.

That's right, at the Sakai Command Headquarters, Tokutaro Sakai was extremely anxious at the moment, because he heard with his own ears that a shell was fired at their rear, and the shell flew right over his head.

"Quick, ask the artillery battalion what the situation is now."

In response to this, Hidemitsu Nakatano made the phone call personally, which shows that he was also very anxious.

Soon, the call was connected: "The communications warrant officer reported to Captain Zhongtian that the artillery position of our artillery battalion was hit by artillery fire.

The loaders, ammunition handlers and others were all killed, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander was killed, and all 12 field guns were destroyed. "

Upon hearing this, Nakatano Hidemitsu was shocked. The people were gone, and the guns were gone too?

That was an artillery battalion, just disappeared like that?

In Nakatano Hidemitsu's impression, their battalion had long been invincible because the battalion was equipped with two Type 92 infantry guns.

The Type 92 infantry gun is their belief. With the Type 92 infantry gun they can travel with peace of mind.

And when facing a strong enemy and the infantry artillery is not very effective, their artillery battalion will appear and then blow it up with a supreme attitude.

"Nakata-kun, how is the artillery battalion doing?"

At this moment, Sakai called Nakata "Nakata-kun" again, as if this would lead to good news.

"Artillery Battalion, finished.

The gunner was gone, and all 12 field guns were gone.”

"Na Li?"

Perhaps because he was too angry, Sakai Tokutaro rolled his eyes, leaned back, and fainted.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Although they still have 12 Type 41 mountain guns, their range is only 6 kilometers. How can they compete with the 105 field guns?

So Nakatano Hidemitsu ordered everyone to retreat.

In this way, the battle caused by the regimental flag started at 1:9 in the morning and ended at : in the morning.

The Japanese lost nearly four infantry battalions and 12 Type field guns from an artillery battalion.

Oh, by the way, we also lost 20 oceans, two Type infantry guns, and two bullet production lines.

It can be said to be a heavy loss.

"Captain, the Japs seem to be retreating. There's not a single person in sight. They're running so fast!"

On the mountain, Xiaozhuang used the artillery telescope to look carefully in the direction of Nangang, but did not see a single Japanese soldier.

"The artillery position must have been destroyed, so they ran so fast."

"So what should we do now? Should we retreat to Tiger Mountain?" Xiaozhuang continued to ask.

And Lao Huang also asked: "Yes, Captain, should we pursue or retreat to Tiger Mountain?"

Hearing this, Xiao Dingfang looked at the Shiniushan Mountain, and then at the Anhe Highway at the foot of the mountain.

He made up his mind: "We are already here, how can we go back so easily?

Let the third battalion of Jinjiling garrison Shiniushan, then dig trenches and establish positions to defend this place.

As for the 1st and 2nd Battalions, they will retreat to Tiger Hill to rest and recuperate."

"Yes!"
