Chapter 641 Chapter 641 Continuous Explosions
It's just that the course of the battle was completely different from what the Japanese imagined.
After the reinforced platoon in the sneak attack in the east of Guangde City destroyed some supplies, the Japanese army's baggage team still resisted tenaciously. They did not take credit. After receiving the retreat signal from Tang Dao, they immediately left the battlefield and moved to the mountainous area.
The artillery position moved even faster. Five minutes before the arrival of the two Japanese infantry brigades, all troops were evacuated, leaving several artillery pieces unable to carry out a complete blast. .
There is even a complete 105mm howitzer.
This made the Japanese infantry captain who led his team to the devastated scene feel a little excited for a moment. He thought that it was he who urged his subordinates to run wildly and that the Chinese had no time to catch up, and thus protected several important imperial weapons.
But obviously, the 18th Division, which was responsible for cleaning up the mess of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, did not inform them of the Chinese's "cunning" in time.
“Quickly, rescue the artillery, search the battlefield, and check the battle damage.” The Japanese major standing outside the artillery position issued the military order in a timely manner. "If there are any artillery pieces that can still be used, report them immediately to His Excellency Kunizaki Zheng."
For this Japanese major, the effect of artillery is far greater than the lives of the Chinese.
Because, Chinese lives are not valuable, but his life is very valuable. Without artillery assistance, the daytime attack battle has to be filled with human lives. He will not become the second army major on the death list.
Moreover, as long as he saves a few artillery pieces, no matter how many Chinese he can kill, this great achievement is already destined.
As a major-level officer, he thought so, and his squadron commanders and squadron leaders who were more likely to be cannon fodder certainly thought so too.
Therefore, the Japanese ran so fast that they even felt that the light of the flashlight was not enough, so they were not afraid of waste and fired the flares into the sky, illuminating part of the artillery position into daylight.
They still don't understand the Chinese very well.
There is a Chinese saying: Pie falls from the sky, it is either a big pit or a trap!
As a result, the Japanese infantrymen who excitedly tried to help up the Japanese infantry who were pushed to the local artillery were hit by their own artillery shells.
However, it does not come from heaven, but from the earth.
Tang Dao deliberately left several artillery pieces around, and used fishing lines to make trip mines.
It's just that this mine is a little bit larger and is made of boxes of mountain artillery shells. The explosive is naturally the most commonly used grenade by Chinese soldiers.
The energy caused by the explosion of three grenades is enough to completely detonate more than a dozen artillery shells.
Not to mention that the cowhide boots of the excited Japanese infantry did not feel the thin fishing line. Even if they felt something was wrong, five or six seconds would not be enough for them to run a hundred meters away. In addition, there were still fish on the shells. One door is full of steel behemoths!
Very few soldiers can describe in words how violent the explosion of more than a dozen artillery shells was.
Because, basically all the people who have seen it with their own eyes are dead.
Like a volcanic eruption, after a ball of orange-red fireball flashed by, the huge 105 howitzer weighing two to three tons was thrown into the air five or six meters high, with steel fragments flying everywhere.
Not to mention the Japanese troops standing within 30 meters of the howitzer's radius, even the Japanese troops still staying 100 meters away were beaten to pieces by these flying steel fragments.
That's not to mention, some artillery shells did not explode on the spot, but were knocked dozens of meters away by the explosive energy before exploding. It was like the two kicks fired during the Chinese New Year, and they were flying randomly. There was a small group of Japanese soldiers who were still more than 200 meters away from the center of the explosion. A shell that flew far enough flew into the formation and exploded. The entire small group disappeared in an instant, leaving only a piece of charred land.
Just one 6.5-kilogram mountain artillery shell caused such damage. It may be regarded as the most powerful 75-caliber shell since the war between China and Japan.
Just with this big explosion, a Japanese army squad has basically turned into a number. The minced meat in that place fully proves the power of the Japanese artillery shells.
But this is just the beginning of the tragedy.
There are also serial explosions.
Yes, the explosion set by Tang Dao this time was a series of thunders.
The Japanese artillery positions left at least 300 shells, which he could waste.
Each seemingly intact artillery piece was surrounded by trip mines. As long as one part was kicked by the Japanese army, it would explode. If the other parts were violently shaken, a small mechanism would pull the grenade fuse, causing all of them to explode. In order to welcome the Japanese reinforcements, Tang Dao left more than 60 shells under the few remaining cannons.
If it was just a volcanic eruption at the beginning, then the subsequent series of eruptions can be called a volcano group.
For a time, artillery shells were flying randomly on the position, and the thick smoke was so irritating that people could not open their eyes.
Probably the Japanese major who was standing in front of the truck giving military orders had his eyes wide open and refused to close for a long time.
The almost dull Japanese Army Major probably couldn't figure it out. He just wanted to save the artillery. Is this wrong?
How did it become like this?
The outcome has proven that he was wrong.
Not only did the cannon fail to be salvaged, but not a single shot was fired. He lost many men under his command, and there were many more names on the death list.
The two infantry squads were just gone.
The Japanese Army Major who stayed 200 meters in front of the artillery position seemed to have a protagonist's aura. He remained standing there, but he was not damaged in this series of explosions.
That is, I have internal injuries and want to vomit blood!
It is not caused by the waves of air, it is simply suppressed.
Because of my own stupidity.
"Baga, the whole army is pursuing us. If we catch up with the Chinese, I will kill them!" The Japanese major stared at the smoke-filled position with his big round eyes and roared at the top of his lungs.
As if this was not enough to express his anger, Japanese Army Major Qi Yu, wearing white gloves and a helmet on his head, proudly pulled out his command sword, held it in his hand, and strode forward into the position.
This violates the provisions of the "Infantry Drill Code" that commanders are not allowed to easily set foot on the front line, but it is in line with the martial spirit within the Japanese army.
Especially when morale was low after encountering a Chinese bombing attack, the Japanese major did what he should do as a commander.
This may be the second decision he made tonight, and also the second wrong decision.
Making mistakes on the battlefield is the price of death.
His white gloves were too conspicuous, and the command knife in his hand was too sharp against the firelight.
The sharp sword light made it difficult for Tang Dao, who was staying in the mountains 500 meters away to observe the battlefield with a scope, not to notice.
Without hesitation, Tang Dao fired without looking at the results of his battle, and turned around and left.
On the artillery position, a Japanese army major was lying on his back, staring at the sky with his two big eyes.
On the top of his head, there was a round hole in the middle of the helmet with a yellow five-pointed star that was about the same size as his eyeballs.
Blood was flowing out from the helmet.
A shot right between the eyebrows!
The Japanese Army Major no longer has to be angry or in disbelief, or worry about whether there are artillery.
Because, he has become the second army major killed in the Kunozaki detachment in the Battle of Mouse Mountain.
Kunizaki was stunned after receiving the news, another mouthful of old blood!
Takeuchi Yunshan couldn't help but feel a little happy again, and couldn't help but think of the Chinese story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It seems that Zhou Yu just vomited and vomited to death. Your Excellency Kunizaki seems to be older than Zhou Lang!
