Chapter 052 The Devil Has Retired
Hu Yizhou played a cannonball wash, at least it was a low-intensity cannonball wash!
When the first round of shells fell next to the attacking Japanese, the Japanese tried to hide. However, when the second and third rounds of shells fell one after another, the Japanese found in despair that there was no place to hide!
Some lucky Japs were able to take shelter in the shell craters created by previous bombings. For those unlucky, some shells directly hit their helmets and exploded! What's more, a dozen Japs were rolling and crawling. He hid in a big crater, and the shells also fell into it...
In short, when the artillery company's continuous bombardment began, it was destined that the Japanese attack would fail and return!
The only shortcoming is that the coordinates given by Hu Yizhou are very detailed, but when the gunners adjust the coordinates, it will take a second or two, so that the interval between the shells landing is between 6 and 7 seconds. After ten rounds of shelling are completed, Almost a minute passed.
At this time, those who are clever, those who see the opportunity early, or those who are timid can run back just enough to pass the impact point of the cannonball.
However, there were too many Japanese soldiers who believed in Bushido, and few ran back. Some simply launched a death-defying charge forward...
In short, in the range from 60 meters to 300 meters in front of the second company, the Japanese soldiers experienced the feeling of a cannon shell washing the ground! (The range includes the explosion radius)
After ten shellings, Hu Yizhou knew he could wait no longer.
"Enter the artillery-proof cave! Hurry! Bring your equipment and enter the artillery-proof cave!"
Under Hu Yizhou's loud shouting, the eight artillery crews hid in the hiding hole in the artillery pit.
This is because Hu Yizhou was afraid that the Japanese mountain artillery troops would correct their coordinates and fire on his position, so he quickly asked the artillery battery to hide!
Although there is a large angle between position 1 and position 2, it would take some time for the Japanese to adjust the coordinates, but Hu Yizhou didn't dare to gamble!
Fortunately, the Japanese's reaction speed was not fast enough. After everyone hid in the anti-gun holes, the Japanese's test fire landed on the No. 2 artillery position.
At this time, the artillerymen will have to accept the judgment of fate! Although their anti-gun holes are on the side facing away from the Japanese, no one can guarantee whether they will be blown up.
Hu Yizhou did not hide in the artillery cave with the others, but took his guards and detoured into the fourth company's position! The advantage of infantry over artillery is that they can run away with their guns, and artillery also has to break down mortars. gun.
"Haha! Well done, master!"
In the command post of the Fourth Company, Hu Yizhou received the thumbs up from the Fourth Company Commander!
"Don't praise me yet, how is the little devil?" Hu Yizhou asked, breathing heavily.
"The Japs were blown away! They are retreating under the cover of Xiaodou tanks!" said the fourth company commander.
"Let me take a look!" Hu Yizhou looked at the battlefield through the observation hole with a telescope.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers had long lost their energy when attacking, and a bombardment completely defeated their will! These new soldiers, who had not participated in several battles, had never seen such a scene surrounded by explosions. , right now I just want to go back and hide in a safe place.
"Chirp...boom..." Fang Hao and the others were in the trenches of the Fourth Company, firing grenades at targets they could see.
Although these grenades with an explosion radius of ten meters are not as powerful as the 82-force grenades, they are enough to kill the Japanese if they fall next to them. However, looking at the impact points of those grenades, Hu Yizhou shook his head and expressed his disappointment!
This is where these kids get confused! If they are successful, they will blow up a few of them, but if they are not, they will end up at grandma’s house...
But no matter what, these small cannonballs created by the devils will eventually fall in front of the devils, right?
After Fang Hao and the others finished shooting all the Type 89 grenades, they stopped. There were only seven or eight left per person, and they were all shot quickly!
The devil's frontier
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Kaneda Nagao has never been so desperate! He has never been so distressed! These are young people from Gifu Prefecture! They are all fellow villagers! These young people have not enjoyed life yet.
The fun was so shattered!
What's more important is that this time the losses were heavy again, and it was impossible to merit meritorious services! Commitment of seppuku was almost the same!
"Retreat, the mountain artillery troops cover the retreat! Quickly!"
Under the order of Kaneda Nagao, the Japanese attack ended! Then, the Japanese mountain artillery unit also stopped after bombing for a few minutes.
However, this is not the real end!
"Hurry into your respective air-raid shelters! Be prepared for the Japanese's retaliatory bombing!"
Under the leadership of their respective commanders, the soldiers of the third battalion entered the air-raid shelter in the hideout to prepare for the enemy's artillery retaliation.
"Chirp...boom...boom..."
The enemy's retaliatory artillery fire came very quickly. They were all naval gun shells, and the explosion power was quite powerful!
Surprisingly, this time the enemy's target was not the trench, but the area where the air raid shelter was located. It seems that the enemy's reconnaissance ability is also very powerful. Of course, the corpses of the enemy in front of the trench are also a reason!
The last time Takamori brazenly bombed the enemy with sulfur bombs, he was reprimanded by his superiors. This time he could only ask the navy pigs to avoid the area in front of the main position and bomb!
Fortunately, the Japanese only had a general guess and used probabilistic bombing! There was no direct hit on the air raid shelter.
Of course, even if they have accurate coordinates, it's difficult to hit the target correctly! It's just a close approach with a high probability! Most of those who actually hit the target rely on blindness.
This kind of beyond-visual-range bombing is really difficult to hit accurately without the help of drones to correct the trajectory, satellite radar, etc.!
After the bombardment was over, Hu Yizhou returned to the artillery position. When he looked up, he saw the bodies of eight dead soldiers.
"What's going on?" Hu Yizhou caught the platoon leader and asked.
"Reporting to the commander! Half of an artillery pit was blown down, and several veterans were buried. The remaining recruits were running around in fear, and were killed by artillery shells! The cannon was also broken, and there was a soldier digging out.
!" replied the first company commander.
"Alas..." Hu Yizhou couldn't help it! This kind of thing is too common on the battlefield!
"Carry them back! Dig another hole in front of the grave of the Eighth Battalion, and the brothers from our company will be buried there!" Hu Yizhou said sadly.
"Yes, sir!"
On the third battalion position.
"Each company counts casualties, the second company enters the city to rest, the third company takes over the position of the second company, and the fourth company cleans the battlefield!" the third battalion commander commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
The Japanese bombardment is over, and the Third Battalion can clean up the battlefield...
"Hello, battalion commander!" Hu Yizhou met the third battalion commander.
"What are your casualties?" asked the third battalion commander.
