Yes, it's like meeting a Siberian tiger in the forest.
The most terrifying thing is not the roar of the tiger, but the sharp teeth and fangs of the tiger.
The biggest blow to the Japanese army on the battlefield was the section of the city wall that was completely blown away.
Massive amounts of bricks and lumps of earth flew over the Japanese army's position overwhelmingly, and then fell heavily, creating a rain of bricks and stones.
Seven or eight soldiers from the third battalion who were lying down a few hundred meters away and wearing steel helmets were injured, not to mention the Japanese soldiers who were only a few dozen meters away.
The safest location on the entire battlefield is the city gate hole a hundred meters away from the explosion point. The engineer platoon responsible for detonating the explosion and the platoon of Li Jijin's seventh company are hiding there. They only need to curl up and lift their chest and abdomen off the ground to prevent being blown away. The shock injury will be fine.
The bricks weighing several kilograms flying in the sky are small, and bricks weighing seven or eight kilograms are very common. Not to mention people's heads, even houses will have a big hole when they are smashed.
The 1st Artillery Battalion and the 3rd Battalion Machine Gun Battery had already aimed at the 16 82-guns at the Japanese positions before they fired their guns. The city wall was blasted and the Japanese defensive positions were completely destroyed.
If we could turn back time and space, I don't know if Sakira Nakatama would regret deploying defensive positions like this, but to be honest, if he had placed all his defensive troops at the top of the city, I'm afraid the outcome would not be much better than it is now.
Sturdy city walls can protect against machine guns and rifle bullets, but not artillery shells.
In the Battle of Songjiang last year, in order to defend against Japanese heavy artillery, an infantry corps and several thousand young men in Songjiang City had to work almost to the point of vomiting blood to dig fortifications in the city wall to barely withstand the heavy artillery bombardment. Without those fortifications, heavy artillery alone could Let the 67th Army reduce its strength by one-third.
Lieutenant Nakaki Yamashita's head hurt, not because he saw 60 people from four squadrons on the front line being smashed and bleeding, and many of them had nothing but bleeding, but because they were wearing steel helmets. He was also hit by a big lump of earth.
If what hit him was not a lump of earth, but a solid blue brick, as the Japanese Army Lieutenant clearly understood when he saw that the top of his head was almost smashed into a panoramic sunroof roof, then maybe he really wouldn't have to feel the feeling of having a head as big as a bucket now. .
Perhaps it would be much happier if we didn't have to face this mess.
The potential energy of dozens of tons of masonry flying to an altitude of ten or even tens of meters when falling is no less than that of dozens of mountain artillery shells falling on the position.
At least 70% of the houses were destroyed by the terrible rockfall, and even the roofs were smashed into sieves. How could the people hiding inside be spared?
The roof that can accommodate people is as thin as cicada wings and cannot provide any protection from the rain of stones. What about the completely exposed front line? That goes without saying.
The Imperial Japanese Army has not had such luxury since its founding. It even built a steel shed on the infantry's position. In this remote land of Asia, what kind of high-altitude projectiles are there?
So, the heroic Imperial Japanese Army had no choice but to stand firm under the "throwing stones from high altitude" attitude of the Chinese who did not respect martial ethics.
Those who could cry out were those who had their arms and legs hit but not their heads. Those who had their heads hit were basically going to their Amaterasu to drink tea, chat and play mahjong.
It's just that the timing is unlucky, and there are a lot of cards coming, so Amaterasu is probably very annoyed at this moment.
Many people like to say: It is better to live than to die! That's because they have never been to the battlefield.
People who have been on the battlefield will tell you: sometimes, death is far happier than living!
Just like here, the Japanese soldiers whose arms and legs were hit were actually much more miserable than their companions who were directly hit to death.
The fresh bones and stubbles that were smashed out caused the heart-rending screams of the Japanese infantry to even reach the area of Wang's mansion a full 700 meters away.
In fact, there are no pain nerves in bones. Even if the arm is broken, the pain will not be as painful as expected at that moment. The severe pain in the brain still comes from the dense nerve group in the muscle tissue.
Of course, the despair of seeing your arm and leg bones exposed to the air with blood and blood is the most frightening thing. Crying can help alleviate the huge fear. This kind of Psychologically, it is the same as when a woman encounters difficulties and chooses to cry to relieve her inner sadness.
That's right, at the moment when they encountered overwhelming fear, the majestic warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army also took off their strong masks and turned into women!
“What's going on, little devil?” Shen Laoliu, who had been cautiously searching the distant streets with a scope, had his eyes twitching.
This pig-like scream could easily make him think that these Japs were attacked by Battalion Commander Leng and Captain Li with red-hot iron bars!
If that's the case, it's really unbearable!
Li Jiujin: Why did Mao take me with you when you complained about Commander Leng?
"Do your job well. The better the fight over there, the safer we will be!" This time, it was Heizi's turn to complain about Shen Laoliu.
"That's right! I've been waiting for a long time, why haven't the reinforcements of the little devil arrived yet? Why, who are you looking down on?" Shen Laoliu looked a hundred meters away, with confusion on his face.
According to pre-war estimates, if the interception fails midway, the Japanese reinforcements should arrive in about 10 minutes after the battle starts. Let alone 10 minutes, there are several 10 minutes, and no Japanese are seen coming. unreasonable.
"Could this have something to do with the fact that the Japanese infantry captain is not here?" Heizi shook his head and gave up an excuse. "No matter how his battle situation changes, we will implement the tactics planned by Captain Gu before the war. As long as the little Japs dare to come, no matter how many people come, we will fight a defensive battle with them here to see who can survive to the end."
Heizi is no longer the thick black machine gunner he once was. He is now a second lieutenant of the special forces and the captain of a special forces team. Although he cannot become a special forces commander like Gu Xishui who can plan the overall situation, he can firmly carry out the instructions he had made before the war. Develop good tactics that will remain unchanged no matter how the battle situation changes.
He is not the best commander, but he can be the best executor. This is also the soldier that the Four Lines Group needs.
In fact, as he said, the civil war situation in the city has already changed with the escape of Qi Liangchuyu.
The battle situation outside the city also exceeded the expectations of the commanders of the Chinese and Japanese armies.
The directional blasting of 400 kilograms of explosives was more effective than imagined. The screams of the Japanese infantry made Leng Feng couldn't help but clenched his fists in excitement. If he had known this, the 200 kilograms of explosives in the first round should have been used like this.
Yamashita Nakasuki: We are not humans, but you are also real dogs!
However, the Japanese army's nightmare was not over yet.
Thirty seconds after the explosion, Yamashita, who was knocked unconscious by a big lump of earth and still scolding the Chinese for being so vicious, was creampied. No, it was Lieutenant Zhongshu who heard a "bang" that made his liver and gallbladder split. "Bang bang" muffled sound.
The shells fired from the 16 mortars that had raised the front line to a distance of less than 500 meters from the battlefield were slower than the speed of sound. The next second the Japanese Army Lieutenant heard the sound of the mortars coming out, there was a "boom". "Boom, boom" was the loud noise of continuous explosions of artillery shells.
“Baga! It's over!” This was the last thought that was lingering in Lieutenant Nakaki Yamashita's mind as he stood blankly in the bunker of the squadron headquarters.
Compared with the artillery fire coverage, the round of "high-altitude stone throwing" just now should not be too gentle.
Stones can hit people to death, but there is a chance of it. As long as you are lucky enough, you will end up with a bag on your head!
But cannonballs can't do it! That thing will explode when it hits the ground!
The air waves caused by the explosion, as well as the flying shrapnel, wreaked havoc on the position that had just been destroyed by falling rocks. How many people could survive?
It can only be said that Lieutenant Nakasuki Yamashita is still used to maintaining his arrogance towards Chinese soldiers, and he underestimates his opponent too much.
At Leng Feng's request, Pang Dahai ordered the entire company's mortars to be replaced with 'steel ball bombs'. During the week-long construction of the four-line regiment, China's future 'Madame Curie' took her students , worked overtime and modified a full 50 artillery shells. Except for 3 that were given to Lu Zhongda, the remaining 47 were given to the 1st Artillery Company. The First Battalion took 7, while Licheng kept a full 40 in order to cope with more complex urban street battles. .
The artillery shells that explode in the air will excite hundreds of mung bean-sized steel balls, and their lethality to people exposed on the ground is at least three times higher than ordinary artillery shells!
Six mortars fire steel ball projectiles, and the remaining 10 mortars fire ordinary artillery shells.
Then, hiding by the relatively strong window of the headquarters, Lieutenant Nakaki Yamashita looked at his own position, especially the first-line position, from the left wing to the front and then to the right wing position. The shelling was completely advancing in a barrage situation. One house after another collapsed.
The soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the first round of stone attacks rolled out and were then swept away by the shock wave of the shells, or fell to the ground while running and never got up again.
Running is a death, but not running is actually a death.
I don't know how many Japanese infantrymen adhere to the principle of 'I just lie down, if the shrapnel hits me, it's my bad luck! ' The tactical concept is to hide in trenches or fortifications and never move away.
So, many of them died like this.
Steel **** accelerated by explosives to an initial velocity of 300 meters/second have been tested and can penetrate a 10 cm thick wooden board. It is completely normal for the human body, which is obviously much more fragile than the wooden board, to be punched with a transparent hole.
One may not be enough to kill you, but how many or more than ten? Not to mention the bleeding, the pain alone can hurt someone to death.
Sixteen 82-gun guns, each round contains sixteen rounds, one round is fired every three seconds, and it can fire 20 rounds of 320 shells in one minute!
Of course, the muzzle may need to be adjusted according to instructions. In fact, it can fire about 130 rounds per minute, and Leng Feng's request is to shell for 10 minutes.
This means that more than 1,000 artillery shells fell on the Japanese army's position, which was only 10,000 square meters in area, with an average of one artillery shell falling on 10 square meters. This intensity of artillery fire even exceeded what the Chinese army endured on the Songhu battlefield. Japanese artillery fire.
After all, at that time, due to the lack of enough artillery to fight back, the Chinese army stretched the infantry front very wide to prevent heavy casualties from the Japanese heavy artillery. A 500-meter-long trench was often only guarded by one infantry company, but that was it. A heavy artillery shell fell, and half the infantry company was gone.
All this time, Lao Abacus, who had never seen a sad look on his face and enjoyed gambling in his spare time, was lying on the position only 300 meters outside the city wall, watching the flames blooming, and the Japanese troops were being beaten like rag dolls. The air waves rolled up and then fell, tears welling up in my eyes!
Although he tried his best to hold it back, the tears still fell into the soil in front of him drop by drop.
The soldiers next to him obviously didn't notice this veteran who was usually careless and seemed to have no thoughts. Their eyes were all on the artillery battlefield that dazzled the Chinese soldiers.
In the Fourth Army Regiment, there are no more than 70 people who have experienced that kind of desperate battlefield. As the battle progresses, there are no more than 70 people. There are no more than 40 people who can witness the Japanese army struggling in the rear under artillery fire.
Lao Abacus is one of them!
Before entering the Sihang Warehouse, the infantry platoon he belonged to was reduced by 90%, all thanks to the Japanese heavy artillery. Before they even had time to fire a shot at the Japanese infantry, a shell hit his infantry platoon. On the front line, the entire platoon of 46 people, including the second lieutenant platoon leader, was killed on the spot, and 8 others were injured. Only 12 people remained, less than the strength of an infantry squad.
But even so, the six of them still defended for a full 30 minutes, and did not allow a Japanese infantry squad to capture the position. However, the price was that there were only 4 people left in the platoon!
From that day on, Lao Abacus vowed that he would never let the Thief God see his tears again. The brothers he had been with day and night were all dead, and he would not let the Thief God see his fragility.
But today, as he watched the Japanese wailing under his own continuous artillery fire, he could no longer hold back his tears.
Gangzi, Erdan, your spirits in heaven are watching! When we have so many cannons, the little devil cries miserably! Old Abacus was crying and laughing at the same time!
The data reported by the three artillery observers at the front showed that the sixteen 82-gun artillery shells were basically able to dump all the artillery shells onto the Japanese positions, and few of them fell into other residential buildings.
From the very beginning, the rear of the Japanese position relied on having at least two layers of sandbags and strong wooden steel plate fortifications to protect a heavy machine gun firepower point that could fire unscrupulously. It was not because a mortar had been aiming fiercely at its general direction. Boom and unlucky.
In fact, the city wall was in bad luck ever since it was blasted in a targeted manner.
The heavy machine gun firepower point is actually quite far away from the city wall, at least 100 meters. From a distance perspective, the Chinese grenades can never be thrown anywhere.
But no one knew that the grenade could not be thrown, but the stone could actually fly.
A stone bar weighing 300 kilograms may be located exactly in the center of the explosive energy push. It was pushed to a height of more than 20 meters and then ran wildly for nearly 100 meters in the sky before falling.
But even if a stone bar is smashed down, the damage area will never exceed 0.5 square meters. As long as you have not violated any rules in your previous life, it is difficult to become a victim of its huge gravity.
But unfortunately, there must be someone in this heavy machine gun firepower spot who had cuckolded Amaterasu in a previous life, otherwise it would have been such a coincidence?
The stone bar was smashed down in such a majestic manner, hitting the Japanese army's carefully designed heavy machine gun firepower point!
The four Japanese soldiers in the heavy machine gun fire point, which was well protected all around but with a real "panoramic sunroof", looked at the falling black shadow with despair.
No one can react that quickly, no matter how elite the Japanese army is.
“Boom!” There was only one sound in total.
Shi Tiao directly smashed two of the four unlucky children into meat paste, the fresh kind! The other two were already frightened after being splashed with blood.
Really, I have seen people shot to death by bullets, bombed by cannons, stabbed to death with bayonets, and burned to death. These two people already thought that their minds were tempered and could not be invaded by anything!
But in the face of this tragic scene where two colleagues were swatted away like flies by a stone strip 40 cm wide and 150 cm long, especially when the meat strips splashed on their faces and mouths. , at that inexplicably sweet moment, they finally broke through!
“Ah!!” The sharp, broken sound was like a hen with its neck cut off!
The two Japanese soldiers who escaped from the fortification were vomiting crazily. They did not want to stay here for a moment, even though they had escaped the Chinese shelling for several minutes.
So, they died!
Even two layers of sandbags were blown full of holes, exposing the steel plate behind them. How long can the human body survive such blazing artillery fire?
The other heavy machine gun fortification was actually not much better. The moment they started shooting and exposed themselves, they were actually destined to die.
This is almost the inevitable fate of all heavy firepower points, when the opponent has artillery.
The two 37mm rapid-fire cannons had already been dragged to the city wall area during the shelling. The steel plates provided by the rapid-fire cannons could provide certain cover for the artillery. The engineers also quickly built fortifications on both sides with sandbags. As long as they were not hit by grenades, Attacks can ensure basic safety.
Under the guidance of the flares that were constantly fired into the sky, the artillery quickly locked their targets. The 37mm combat anti-cannon, which can penetrate 40mm thick steel plates, could easily penetrate 2 layers of sandbags and a steel plate of no more than 10mm. things.
The two rapid-fire cannons fired three shells each, and the heavy machine gun fortification, which was thought to be strong, collapsed like broken building blocks.
None of the four Japanese soldiers inside came out. Needless to say, although the shells of the 37mm rapid-fire cannon are armor-piercing shells, the shrapnel that scatters after being broken can kill people like dogs.
With the completion of the two heavy machine gun fortifications, the fall of the Japanese defensive position at the south gate can actually be completely announced!
With a lack of suppressive firepower and heavy infantry losses, what could Lieutenant Nakaki Yamashita do to counter the Leng Feng 3rd Battalion, which had begun to build up its forces?
Get the head?
