Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

"Our artillery positions were so scattered, how could the Eighth Route Army find them? And the coordinates were so precise, they didn't even need to calibrate them."

"There must be artillery reconnaissance personnel nearby. Find them within a five-kilometer radius of the artillery position."

Artillery regiment commander Matsui Yoshiyuki ordered.

Two battalions of Japanese troops began searching with the artillery positions as the center.

At the same time, Matsui Ryoyong gave another order: "Order all artillery units to move their positions immediately and wait for the order to fire."

Just as he gave the order, the third artillery position was bombarded and another Type 92 infantry gun was lost.

How could the Eighth Route Army's artillery technology be so advanced that they didn't even need to calibrate their firing? How did they do it?

"Report to the regiment commander, the Eighth Route Army's artillery position has been found. It is about 8 kilometers away from our heavy artillery unit."

"but......."

Matsui Ryoyong frowned and scolded, "But what? Tell me quickly."

"Hey! The Eighth Route Army's artillery position is behind a slope. It's a reverse slope position."

"Baka!" Matsui Ryoyong cursed, and then ordered: "Order the heavy artillery unit to continue to lie in wait. Our target is the Eighth Route Army's new artillery. Leave these two heavy guns to the other artillery."

"Move the 2nd and 3rd Artillery Battalions forward and launch a counterattack against the enemy artillery positions."

The officer lowered his head and said, "Hi!"

Two missiles whizzed past overhead and crashed into a small hill about a kilometer behind.

There were originally two Type 38 field guns stationed here, but they had already been moved away, so the two shells were just a waste of time.

A hint of doubt appeared on Matsui Yufu's face. He always felt that something was wrong.

When Fang Tianrui saw that the Japanese artillery fire had stopped, he also ordered a pause in the shelling.

It seems that the Japanese also discovered the strangeness and began to relocate their artillery positions, otherwise they would not have stopped the shelling directly.

Now he just had to wait for the Japs to launch another artillery attack.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, the Japanese army's light 70mm Type infantry gun fired again, and the target was still the front-line position of the independent regiment.

The soldiers of the independent regiment were leisurely staying in the anti-artillery cave. The 70mm infantry gun was not very powerful and it was difficult to cause much damage to the position.

New coordinates were transmitted from the anti-artillery radar vehicle. With the new coordinates, the two Type 541 122mm howitzers roared again.

After the previous round of running-in, the cooperation between the two sides has become much smoother, and the artillery shooting rhythm has also become much faster.

The speed of the independent regiment's counterattack exceeded the Japanese army's imagination.

They had only fired two rounds of artillery when two heavy artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army came crashing down.

This time, without any bunkers to protect them, the Japanese suffered much greater losses.

Although the caliber of the Type 541 howitzer is only 122mm, the explosives filled inside are much more powerful than today's explosives.

Its power was only slightly weaker than that of a 150mm caliber shell. After all, gunpowder technology was half a century behind.

The small body of the Type 92 infantry gun cannot withstand the destruction of 122mm caliber shells.

"Baga, why are they counterattacking so quickly? Check for radio signals around here and find them."

Bad news came from another artillery position. In less than half an hour, their Type 92 infantry guns had been reduced from 12 to less than 5.

Although the Type 92 infantry gun is not as valuable as heavy artillery, it cannot withstand such a rate of loss.

Moreover, the opponent's counterattack was so swift, obviously they were still hiding nearby, and they must have been communicating via radio.

"Boom boom..." Two heavy artillery shells hit behind him again, and two violent explosions were heard.

It hit Matsui Ryoyong's heart like a heavy hammer, making his heart tighten.

However, all this was in vain. As long as they fired, the shells would hit wherever the position moved.

"Fight back, fight back!"

After the remaining 18 Type 75 and Type field guns entered the firing positions.

Matsui Ryoyong couldn't bear it any longer and screamed loudly, as if this could sweep away the uneasiness in his heart.

Eighteen 18mm field guns fired a salvo at the Third Battery position, eight kilometers away. The sound was so devastating it seemed as if it was about to pierce the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The shells fell densely here. Most of them were blocked by the hillside, and a few whizzed past the top of the artillery position and hit the flat ground behind.

Looking at the several explosions coming from the distance behind him, Li Jingrong showed an inexplicable smile.

"Captain Fang, it seems like the time has come. Since they're trying to lure out our rocket launchers, we should use their tactic against them and lure out their heavy artillery."

"First, move two 107mm rocket launchers to join the bombardment, and have the remaining two move forward."

As the core of the independent regiment's long-range firepower delivery, the Second and Third Artillery Companies are naturally equipped with radios.

"Order, launch a counterattack, and fire in the direction with the most concentrated bullets."

The new coordinates were transmitted to the Third and Second Artillery Companies. The two 107mm rocket launchers finally roared.

The effective range of the 107mm rocket launcher is up to 8.5 kilometers, the same as the Japanese Type field gun.

Although shooting accuracy cannot be guaranteed, the density of 12 bullets in one round is enough to make up for the lack of accuracy.

If I can't hit you with one missile, how can I miss you with a salvo of 12 missiles?

The speed and fierceness of the independent regiment's artillery counterattack exceeded Matsui Yoshiyuki's imagination.

Rockets came like meteors, and he finally saw the long-rumored new artillery.

24 rocket launchers fell on the Type field gun position like an endless rain of fire.

In an instant, a large area was engulfed in flames.

Balls of fire from the explosion rose into the sky, turning half of the sky fiery red, the fiery red of the explosion.

This scene left both Matsui Yoshiyuki and division commander Shimada Isao stunned.

They knew that the Eighth Route Army's new artillery was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Is this the Eighth Route Army's new artillery?" Shimada Yufu murmured in shock.

The artillery regiment, however, ignored the shock and fired their shells directly into their faces.

"Report to the regiment commander, our artillery position has come under heavy fire, with the loss of six guns. Requesting relocation."

"Hold on! Find the enemy's artillery positions and order the 4th Heavy Artillery Battalion to launch a covering bombardment."

Matsui Yoshiyuki spent such a huge price to introduce this new type of artillery.

If we stop the attack, the other side will definitely hide their new artillery again, and then everything we have done before will be in vain.

So we have to grit our teeth and hold on. As long as we can destroy the enemy's new artillery, all the sacrifices will be worth it.

However, after firing a round of shells, the 107 rocket launcher position simply ran away without stopping for a moment.

The 107 rocket launcher was specially prepared for mountain warfare. In less than a minute, the rocket launcher left here and began to move to the next launch position.

Before leaving, I put the reserved wooden model back in place.

Rocket launchers are extremely powerful, and the noise they make when fired is also very loud, especially the smoke.

There was a tethered balloon behind the Japanese artillery regiment, also known as an artillery observation balloon.

It can detect targets up to 20 kilometers away.

China's air force has a weak presence and cannot pose any threat to this type of observation balloon, so it is used in large quantities in China.

If it were on the European battlefield, it would be defeated in minutes.

With the advantage of height, the observation balloon quickly sent the coordinates to the heavy artillery battalion.

Twelve 12mm howitzers fired the first salvo of this battle.

Compared with the 75mm field gun just now, the 105mm caliber field gun makes much louder noise.

One shell after another covered the original 107mm rocket position, and the soil kicked up by the explosion soared into the sky.

The wooden model that remained in place was shattered into pieces by the bombardment of shells.

"We finally found you. Order all artillery to bombard the enemy's heavy artillery positions."

When Fang Tianrui saw the coordinates, his eyes lit up. Their rocket launchers had a great deterrent effect on the Japanese.

The Japanese 105mm artillery posed the greatest threat to them.

If the Japanese lost these heavy artillery, it would be much easier for the independent regiment to defend Ling County.

Four 107mm rocket launchers and two 122mm howitzers launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese 105mm heavy artillery positions.

Just now, Matsui Yoshiyuki received good news from the artillery observers that the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions had been destroyed.

Just as a smile appeared on his face, he saw rockets rising in the distance.

At this moment, a bad premonition emerged in his heart. Everyone's eyes followed the two waves of rockets.

48 rockets hit the rear directly, where the heavy artillery position was located.

"Oh no, I've been fooled!" Matsui Ryoyong's face turned pale in an instant.

It was too late to realize what was happening. 48 107mm rockets rained down, and the scene was earth-shattering.

A large area was turned into a sea of fire by the intensive explosions, and the Japanese 105 field artillery positions were engulfed in the sea of fire.

The explosion caused by two 122mm heavy artillery shells was not so noticeable.

—The wave of salvos directly hit the Japanese heavy artillery position. This wave of salvos destroyed a total of 7 Japanese 105mm heavy artillery pieces.

"Move, order all artillery to move." Matsui Yoshiyuki shouted frantically.

The most important thing now is to try to preserve the artillery. If they continue to lose it, their field artillery regiment will be completely destroyed.

If all the artillery were used up, their organization would cease to exist.

It may not take long to transfer the Type 92 infantry gun and the Type field gun weighing about one ton.

However, the total weight of the Type 105 2.6mm field gun is as high as tons, and it would take at least to minutes to move it.

The rocket launcher takes three or four minutes to reload.

However, the firing rate of the two 122mm howitzers reached 6 rounds per minute, an average of one round every ten seconds.

Shells were dropped like crazy, and four minutes later another round of rockets fell.

Another Japanese heavy artillery battalion was destroyed. In this artillery battle, the anti-artillery radar played a miraculous role.

Otherwise, given the current observation technology and efficiency, it is really uncertain who will win or lose.

After all, the Japanese had the advantage in artillery numbers. Fang Tianrui looked at the anti-artillery radar vehicle behind him, his eyes gleaming like a wolf.
