Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong
Chapter 73: Heartache, the loss is not small
"gentlemen!"
When the guards saw Li Jingrong coming, they all greeted him.
At this moment, he was also wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, the only difference was probably the armband.
It was clearly written on it: Eighth Route Army Headquarters - Deep Blue Guard Battalion.
This unit only obeys Li Jingrong himself, not to mention Li Yunlong. Even the orders from the headquarters are ineffective against this unit.
The headquarters has also put a lot of effort into Li Jingrong.
"Assist the independent regiment's artillery battalion to launch an immediate counterattack against the Japanese artillery positions."
"Yes, sir!"
Da Hu saluted.
Da Hu said into the headset: "Attention, all artillery positions, target the Japanese artillery positions, and launch a counterattack immediately!"
After the order was given, the two self-propelled artillery pieces immediately began to move.
"Buzzing..."
Under the operation of the hydraulic system, the gun barrel with a diameter of up to 45 times is lifted upward.
In just a few seconds, all the work before launch was completed.
Li Yunlong watched all this in amazement, and now he understood what was going on.
So this is not a tank, but a new type of artillery.
"put!"
At the command, the muzzle roared, making a deafening roar, and quickly pushed the shells to the Japanese artillery position more than ten kilometers away.
Almost at the same time, the heavy artillery company of the artillery battalion on the other side also began firing in salvos.
Both sides now have anti-artillery radars that can easily lock onto the positions of Japanese artillery.
The first battalion on the 208 high ground was badly hit at this moment, with more than ten heavy artillery pieces plus the Japanese mountain artillery and howitzers firing at the same time.
At this moment, they could only huddle in the anti-bomb hole and shiver.
However, Hill 208, with its complete fortifications, can still hold out for a while, and the losses are not particularly great.
At this moment, a small black dot passed over Hill 208.
Six 6mm and two 152mm shells flew past one after another and hit the Japanese artillery positions in the distance.
However, the sound of artillery on the battlefield masked the whistling sound of the shells cutting through the air, and neither side could hear it.
At the Japanese artillery positions, Type 89 heavy cannons were still loading shells in preparation for the next round of firing.
This heavy artillery is still very troublesome to load, and the firing rate can only reach 2 rounds per minute at most.
This is when you are skilled, otherwise it is normal to shoot once a minute.
Taro Murakami, with a smile on his face, suddenly felt a group of small black spots appear in the sky.
When he looked closely, he found that this group of small black dots were moving extremely fast, and their target seemed to be them.
This made him feel uneasy.
Before he could react, one shell after another fell directly on the Japanese artillery position.
Equipped with modern advanced anti-artillery radar, the error of the first round of artillery fire is calculated in meters.
However, this error is nothing for a howitzer with a caliber of more than 150mm.
As the shells fell, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and balls of fire rose from the Japanese artillery positions.
The violent energy tore through everything that blocked it, and the shrapnel reaped lives like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
In an instant, the artillery position seemed to have experienced the end of the world.
When the smoke cleared, Taro Murakami almost fainted.
The enemy's first round of counterattack destroyed two of his Type 2 heavy cannons.
He arranged it strictly according to the specifications of a heavy artillery position, and each gun position was equipped with defensive fortifications.
Moreover, the opponent's counter-firepower was not very strong, so how did they achieve such an accurate and quick counterattack?
Suddenly he remembered the telegram from the 115th Division.
Now he understood that the other party was not making excuses, but that the Eighth Route Army was indeed a bit weird.
Of course this is not the key point. The key point is why the other side still has so many heavy artillery.
Its power is even greater than their 150mm cannon, and its range does not seem to be shorter than theirs.
"Have the observation balloons locate their artillery positions and launch an immediate counterattack."
But now is not the time to think about these issues.
The first priority is to find the enemy's artillery positions and counterattack.
Otherwise, if the opponent continues to fight like this, he won't be able to last more than a few rounds.
But it is not easy to find a few heavy artillery pieces in such a large area.
Only by waiting for the smoke produced by the enemy's firing can we determine where the enemy's artillery position is.
Rear self-propelled artillery position.
After seeing the results through the drone, Li Jingrong said with satisfaction, "Very good. We destroyed two of their heavy artillery pieces in the first round. As long as the coordinates are locked, they won't be able to hold out for many rounds."
Although compared to modern times, this result is unsatisfactory.
But in this space and time, it is already a very high precision.
Li Yunlong just watched all this with curiosity.
Everything that happened here seemed to overturn his understanding of war.
These high-tech equipment will inevitably subvert the existing warfare model.
Fortunately, the equipment is in their hands.
If the Japanese had these advanced equipment, then the war of resistance would really be hopeless.
"Boom boom..."
Two deafening cannon shots woke him up, and his attention was focused on the screen again.
A distance of more than ten kilometers is only a dozen seconds for a cannonball.
At this moment, the Japanese artillery positions in Shanghai were in a state of confusion.
They wanted to fight back, but the artillery observers couldn't even find the enemy's artillery positions, so how could they fight back?
All they could do now was to reinforce their artillery positions.
As for transfer? Don't even think about it.
It would take at least an hour for heavy artillery of this level to switch from firing mode.
If you passively take the beating and wait for an hour, the opportunity will be gone by then.
So they had no choice but to fight each other to the end.
The second round of shells fell again. Compared with the first round of shells, this round of shells was more accurate.
In particular, the shells fired by the two PLZ45 self-propelled artillery are equipped with an artillery radar correction system, which can fine-tune the landing point of the shells.
The principle is also very simple.
By measuring the trajectory of the launched artillery shells, the landing point of the artillery shells can be accurately calculated.
Then, by comparing with the Japanese artillery firing positions, the error can be calculated and adjustments can be made.
The artillery battalion does not have such high-tech equipment.
However, the accuracy is not too bad, and the error is basically within 30 meters.
This round of shelling destroyed another five Japanese heavy artillery pieces, three more than in the first round.
Taro Murakami couldn't believe his eyes.
The enemy's artillery shells seemed to have eyes and flew directly towards their artillery positions.
If the firing positions had not been reinforced, more artillery pieces would probably have been destroyed this time.
It had only been about a minute since the enemy launched their counterattack, and they had already destroyed five of their Type 5 heavy cannons.
The entire regiment had a total of 18 150mm heavy cannons, and 5 of them were missing, leaving 13.
Fortunately, artillery observers are not just there to make a living.
They immediately locked onto a coordinate through the smoke from the artillery position.
One of them is the firing position of 6 Type 66 152mm howitzers.
As for the self-propelled artillery firing position, he had not yet discovered it.
Because the launching position of the self-propelled artillery is behind a mountain, and there are only two guns.
By the time the smoke rises, it's basically impossible to see clearly.
"Fight back, fight back immediately!"
After finding the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery position, Murakami Taro immediately organized all artillery to launch a counterattack.
On Hill 208, the 312th Regiment, which had rushed halfway, suddenly found that its heavy artillery had stopped firing.
However, they did not care too much and continued to attack under the cover of their own artillery.
Soon, a barrage of rockets rose up again in the Wild Wolf Valley.
107mm rocket launchers began to counterattack the artillery of the 115th Division.
One round of salvos suppressed the artillery of the 115th Division.
The 312th Regiment continued to attack, now they had no way to retreat.
When the Japanese army reached the foot of Hill 208, they immediately launched a charge.
As long as they can take Hill 208, they can use this hill to launch an attack on the entire Wild Wolf Valley.
Fierce fighting broke out immediately.
Without the Japanese artillery suppression, the firepower of the first battalion was fully utilized.
The dense bullets and artillery shells formed an insurmountable barrier for the 312th Regiment.
The situation of the Japanese 17th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment was not much better at the moment.
They fought back once, and the other side fired several rounds of artillery shells at them.
Especially the two PLZ45 self-propelled howitzers, which fired powerfully and accurately.
In five minutes, they lost another five guns, leaving only eight heavy guns.
"Fighters, send the fighters out to blow up their artillery positions, or we're finished!"
Murakami Taro said anxiously.
But can they wait until the fighter planes arrive?
Naosaburo Okabe is very pessimistic about this!
The independent regiment is still the same independent regiment, but I didn’t expect that the other side had equipped so many heavy artillery without making any noise.
It must be Shenlan again. With him around, this independent group will definitely become a serious threat.
However, just as the Army Air Force fighter planes took off, the heavy artillery positions of the 17th Regiment suffered a devastating blow.
There are drones to guide the artillery, and there are anti-artillery radars.
In this case, one or two artillery shots can often destroy a 150mm heavy cannon.
18 guns may seem like a lot, but they were completely destroyed in about half an hour under the repeated bombardment.
The entire artillery position was full of potholes and craters left by exploding shells.
Taro Murakami committed suicide by disembowelment within minutes.
Heavy cannons are the strategic artillery force of the Japanese army.
A total of 18 150mm heavy cannons were destroyed, and as the regiment commander he had an unshirkable responsibility.
If he did not commit suicide by seppuku to apologize, he would be subject to military court.
Naosaburo Okabe stared blankly at the heavy artillery position that had been reduced to ruins.
Compared with them, the independent regiment had less than half the number of heavy artillery than the 17th Regiment.
However, in this artillery battle, the 17th Regiment was actually suppressed.
You should know that this is their most advanced 150mm cannon.
The artillerymen were also the most elite artillerymen of the Kwantung Army.
They actually fell into a disadvantage in the artillery battle with the Eighth Route Army, these peasants, or it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were suppressed.
What went wrong? What caused this?
However, the independent regiment's artillery battalion also paid some price.
Only three of the six 6mm howitzers in the heavy artillery company remained.
The Kwantung Army's heavy artillery regiment is no pushover.
Although they had the advantage, the Japanese counterattack was also fierce.
When Li Yunlong heard the news, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
The heavy artillery was nothing, he had figured it out.
These things may seem more important than life to them, but as long as Li Jingrong wants them, he can get them.
So for him, what he lacks most now is artillery.
This loss is not small for him.
"Beat him! Beat the little devils up for me."
