Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 70: The Artillery Company Performs Meritorious Service, the Japanese Mountain Artillery Sile

"Boom!" Several shells exploded near the Japanese artillery position.

Obviously, I didn’t succeed the first time.

However, this situation frightened Ito Akira, and he quickly gave orders.

"Enemy attack, hurry up and destroy the enemy artillery."

He did not order a move. The mountain artillery was so heavy that it would definitely not be possible to move it in time. He could only race against time with the enemy.

Lu Daya had been observing through a telescope. Seeing that there was no hit, although he felt a little sorry, he still encouraged the artillery to continue.

Both sides were racing against time, but Lu Daya and his men just made minor adjustments and then continued firing.

"Boom... Boom... Boom" Two rounds of artillery shells were fired directly.

This time, Ito Akira was not so lucky, but he himself was fine.

However, more than a dozen of his artillerymen were killed or wounded, leaving only six or seven artillerymen. Moreover, the mountain cannon was obviously damaged by the shells.

"Bakayalu, you guys are too slow, you don't deserve to be soldiers of the empire."

Ito Akira roared, then grabbed an artilleryman and started beating him. After a few slaps, the artilleryman's face immediately became red and swollen.

It was obvious that he had no place to vent his anger, so he took it out on his artillerymen.

After a moment, Ito Akira, who had calmed down a little, yelled at the infantry captain on guard.

"You guys, leave immediately. I want the heads of those Chinese people."

"Signalman, report to the regiment commander immediately and explain the situation here."

No matter how angry Ito Akira is, he can't change the facts.

When Lu Daya saw the Japanese mountain artillery being destroyed through the telescope, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, and his four big teeth appeared clearly in front of everyone.

Perhaps the Japanese felt that no one could threaten them, so they liked to place their positions on high ground. In Lu Daya's opinion, this was stupid.

"Well done, great job. I'll take credit for you when I get back."

"Company Commander, the Japanese mountain artillery has been destroyed. What should we do now?"

The sober artillerymen began to give warnings.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot. Retreat quickly and don't get bitten by the Japanese." Lu Daya hurriedly ordered.

A group of artillerymen quickly dismantled and prepared to evacuate.

At the position in front of Huang Zhengkui, the Japanese were a little dumbfounded. Logically, the artillery coverage should have lasted at least 5 minutes, but it was gone in just two rounds?

Jiangdao Torao was also a little confused, and quickly sent someone to send a telegram to inquire.

They were fighting fiercely here and didn't feel anything about the destruction of the artillery positions more than ten miles away. After all, they were also attacking Qingpu East City, so it was normal to hear explosions!

Only Gu Changfeng guessed something and immediately gave orders.

"Notify the artillery company immediately. Stop hiding and fire away."

"Company One and Company Two, once the bombardment is over, quickly counterattack the Japs on the position."

He finally realized that the Japanese were probably attacking the defenders fiercely and had no time to deal with them.

After the gun was connected and received the message, the squad leader led it to the artillery position to begin assembly.

Five minutes later, three mortars roared and whistled towards the Japanese positions.

“Boom… Boom!”

The Japanese had experience in bombing others and were naturally good at dodging artillery shells. They all lay on the ground and in the fortifications, not daring to move.

"Tell Xiaowu that after the bombardment, suppress the Japanese immediately and cooperate with the first company to capture this line of defense."

Gu Changfeng gave the order, his eyes still fixed on the Japs seven or eight hundred meters away.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier wanted to look up to see the situation, and Gu Changfeng directly adjusted the angle slightly.

"Bang!" A shot was fired, and the Japanese's skull was directly blown open, and he was deader than dead!

The Japanese soldiers nearby were frightened and started to hide in their shells.

After receiving the news, Xiaowu immediately organized the machine gunners of the special forces and began to sneak towards the Japanese's second line of defense.

After more than a dozen rounds of artillery fire, the first and second companies quickly launched an attack. Xiao Wu rushed into the Japanese defense line with a machine gun. Under their respective cross-cover, the Japanese still did not dare to show up.

Huang Zhengkui held the Type 99 light rifle and fired a few bursts of shots at the Japanese as soon as he saw them. For a moment, the Japanese's second line of defense was also in danger.

Gu Changfeng and his companions also waited for an opportunity to change positions. There were not many commanding heights here, and it was quite difficult for them to snipe. They could only try their best to change positions and snipe.

"Bakayaloo, retreat, immediately ask the captain for help, these Chinese are too powerful."

Lieutenant Usui roared, he was going to hide till the very end this time, staying inside the fortifications.

The Japanese inside the defense line couldn't hold on any longer and just turned around and ran away.

Gu Changfeng and his companions found an opportunity and fired a barrage of bullets at the Japanese, killing more than a dozen of them!

After the fight, Gu Changfeng ordered: "Immediately notify the first and second companies to build a firepower network, and let Xiaowu lead the special forces to help the third and fourth companies."

This place is not far from Qingpu City, and the top of the city wall can be vaguely seen. If the Japanese don't want them to threaten the siege, they must counterattack.

The third and fourth companies had a hard time fighting. They did not have the long-range sniping skills of Gu Changfeng and his men, and the Japanese's firepower was quite strong. At this time, they were suppressed and unable to move.

"Artillery platoon, suppress the Japanese machine gunners for me later, and the rest of you prepare to charge."

Luo Xiong was a little anxious. The Japanese took advantage of their defensive advantage and killed his soldiers from time to time.

After fighting for so long, it was his side that suffered many casualties!

Soon, the artillery platoon was ready.

"Rumble..."

Eight grenade launchers fired at the same time, covering the Japanese machine gunners with a round of firepower, and several of the Japanese heavy machine guns suddenly went silent.

Luo Xiong was quite cunning. He had been hiding his grenade launcher but it was useless. Now he took advantage of the Japanese's carelessness and directly destroyed their heavy machine gun.

The platoon leader of the fourth company's artillery platoon was called Chen Fei. He was originally an artilleryman from Wu Desheng's regiment headquarters. Because he was good at artillery, he was promoted by Luo Xiong this time.

Seeing that the Japanese heavy machine gun was knocked out, he immediately ordered: "Brothers, the Japanese artillery fire is coming soon, now disperse immediately and find yourselves."

He had just returned from the Battle of Shanghai and was very familiar with the Japanese tactics. If he did not disperse immediately, he would easily be hit by Japanese artillery fire.

Sure enough, not long after, several Japanese grenadiers secretly looked at the distance and gestured.

A moment later, several Japanese artillery shells flew over, "boom!" and hit the place where Chen Fei was just now.

Now, the soldiers in the artillery platoon couldn't help but be thankful that they ran fast, otherwise they would be doomed.

Luo Xiong's three platoons began to charge. Two heavy machine guns cooperated with the charging team to suppress the Japanese within the defense line.

"Da da da..." Several Japanese soldiers were unable to react in time and were directly knocked down.

At this time, one row had already run to the front, only 50 meters away from the Japanese.

"Grenade." The platoon leader shouted loudly.

Ten seconds later, dozens of melon grenades flew into the Japanese fortifications, followed by another round.

The continuous explosions and whistling shrapnel made the Japanese soldiers in front wail.

Of course, there’s no way the damn devil can scream!

"Baga, fight back, fight back."

The Japanese squad leader shouted loudly that if this continued, his entire squad would be wiped out, and this was something he could not tolerate.

Just then, Xiaowu arrived with the special forces team.

"Special forces, kill these devils for me."

Xiaowu shouted while firing bullets at the Japanese from the machine gun in his hand without any delay.

The Japanese soldiers didn't react in time, and several of them fell to the ground immediately.

Xiao Wu and his men attacked from the side, while the Fourth Company charged from the front. For a moment, the Japanese squad leader's scalp tingled and he immediately ordered a retreat...
