Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Commander, there's news from Zhenhua. They've already taken off. The fighter fleet is expected to arrive over Taiyuan in 20 minutes, and the bomber fleet is expected to arrive in 40 minutes!"

Liu Wu reported.

Although Liu Wu was from the army, he graduated from Whampoa Military Academy and naturally learned about air combat.

Liu Wu was looking forward to seeing how much damage those planes, which he had never seen before, would have on the Japanese.

"Okay! Then order the artillery regiment to start shelling in 20 minutes!" Lin Tian ordered.

The terrain here is higher, and they can see all the lighted places in Taiyuan City. The places with lights on at this time are definitely not ordinary Chinese people's homes. In addition to the city walls, the artillery regiment's targets also include those brightly lit places. The lights will be excellent signs in the dark.

After Wang Chengzhu received the order, he stared at his watch nervously. The hands moved slowly. Finally! The time has come!

Wang Chengzhu swallowed his saliva and said, "Erhu, you command the bombardment of the city wall! Lao Han, you command the bombardment of the lighted areas in the city!"

Wang Erhu and Han Guang nodded at the same time. As Wang Chengzhu's deputies, their tasks had already been assigned to them.

The artillery position was divided into two parts because there were too many artillery pieces in one section.

Not to mention the artillery regiments, the two infantry regiments alone have more than a thousand 107mm rocket launchers, which is simply a terrifying number.

At the beginning, Lin Tian formed an artillery platoon for each company under the infantry regiment. Each artillery platoon had 30 107mm rocket launchers, totaling 640 rocket launchers for the entire regiment.

When Wang Shun supported the independent regiment, he took away one hundred 107mm rocket launchers, but this number is just a drop in the bucket for the current first division and can be ignored.

The artillery regiment has 300 107mm rocket launchers, 220 Katyusha rocket launchers, and 40 88mm anti-aircraft guns, totaling more than artillery pieces.

Of course, Lin Tian did not bring the 88mm anti-aircraft gun for this operation.

On the one hand, the anti-aircraft firepower of the base and Qucheng could not be fully withdrawn; on the other hand, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns were no longer needed on the battlefield.

The firing rate of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is not as fast as that of the rocket launcher, and its firepower density is also not as good as that of the rocket launcher.

It's really meaningless to use it to attack tanks. Under the dense artillery coverage of rocket launchers, the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles have nowhere to hide. Instead of taking the trouble to aim and then fire one shot at a time, it's better to just ignore everything and fire the rocket launcher at will.

In addition, regarding the issue of battlefield air defense, Lin Tian has a powerful and advanced air force, so he doesn't have to worry about the Japanese planes flying over his head.

On the contrary, the Japanese should think about what to use to fight against the MiG-15...

Of course, in addition to these artillery pieces, there are also the armored regiment’s 40 M110 203mm self-propelled howitzers.

This thing is a real heavy artillery, and it is the key to blasting open the city wall.

The tanks of the first division were also ready. As long as a breach was made in the city wall of Taiyuan, the tanks could move forward and rush in directly through the breach with the infantry.

"fire!!!!"

Wang Chengzhu ordered loudly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Erhu and Han Guang immediately waved the command flags in their hands vigorously.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

"Whoosh whoosh!!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Various types of artillery fired at the same time, making their own unique sounds.

The moment the shells were fired, the fire illuminated the mountains and forests where the first division was located. Even the moon seemed dim. The dense shells were like an airtight net that enveloped Taiyuan.

Lin Tian closed his eyes and listened carefully to the wonderful melody of artillery fire at this moment.

It is true that the Katyusha rocket launcher is called Stalin's organ. Its sobbing rhythm, like the devil's funeral song, lingers in this world.

The "whoosh" sound of the 107mm rocket launcher, the most equipped artillery in the First Division, was like a harmony, interweaving with the sound of Katyusha.

The M110 203mm self-propelled howitzer was like the sound of a heavy drum, beating hard and brightening the audience's eyes in this performance.

What was also eye-catching was the fire exploding in Taiyuan City at that time.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom, boom!!!!"

The dense artillery fire directly submerged the Taiyuan city wall. The brightly lit places in the city were directly blown into powder by the huge explosion. No matter whether they were Japanese devils, traitors or dignitaries, they all died at this moment.

The city walls were also a sea of ​​fire. Countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and even the city gate towers were blown down.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Tian couldn't help but think of the scene in which our army bombarded the Yue monkeys that he saw in later movies.

The shells that covered the sky and the sun... no, that covered the sky and the moon were whistling towards Taiyuan madly and continuously as if they were free of charge.

The city of Taiyuan, which had been occupied by the Japanese for several years, was now taking a hearty fire bath, like a terminally ill patient who had drunk a strong medicine.

Taiyuan is destined to be reborn from the ashes from this moment!

"Damn it! Where did the shelling come from? What's going on!" Hisashi Saburo was still staying up late in the office. The sudden shelling made his office tremble, and dust from the beams kept falling.

"Commander! Artillery fire! We are under artillery fire!! Please hide quickly!" Taichi Takagi shouted in panic.

Only then could Shouqi Saburo see Takagi Taichi's frightened face in the light.

Taichi Takagi had never seen such a horrific bombardment before, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Quickly find out where the shelling is coming from! Order the artillery to counterattack!"

"Send a telegram to Peking! Tell Commander-in-Chief Okamura about the situation here!"

"Order, all fighter planes at all airports near Taiyuan take off!"

When Shouqi Saburo ran out of the door and took a look, the scene in front of him frightened him so much that he staggered. Taichi Takagi quickly supported Shouqi Saburo.

This is not a bombardment, it's simply a dimensionality reduction attack!

The people in Taiyuan city were also frightened and were awakened from their sleep one after another. Some people even had their beds collapsed.

Some brave people opened the door and looked outside, only to see flames everywhere in the city and constant explosions.

But the residential area was completely unscathed, and everyone was puzzled as to why.

But no matter what, as long as they are okay.

The people were wondering if the Japanese arsenal had exploded.

They would never have imagined that it was the Eighth Route Army attacking Taiyuan.

Just looking at the movement in the sky, it seems like there is artillery fire...

"It's so happy! It's so happy!!"

"This is what we call big gun doctrine!!"

Lin Tian climbed to a high ground and watched this exhilarating bombing.

It’s a pity that my phone ran out of battery, otherwise I could have captured this scene, which would have been great for making a documentary in the future.
