Chapter 785 Large-caliber heavy artillery!
"Reporting to the commander, the tank unit of the Eighth Route Army is attacking the 17th Tank Regiment on the right wing."

In the headquarters of the Garrison Army in Mongolia, a combat staff officer reported to Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku.

The two old devils hurried to the front of the artillery mirror, and through the sight of the artillery mirror, they looked towards the direction of the battlefield on the right.

I saw that the tanks and infantry of the Eighth Route Army had already moved to the flank of the 17th Tank Regiment on the right, firing tank guns while advancing.

Visible to the naked eye, in just a few minutes, more than 10 tanks have been hit and caught fire, and a tank squadron has been lost.

However, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army had no casualties. It was like adults beating children.

The gap is too big.

"Baga, Yalu!"

Seeing this scene, Amakasu Shigetaro couldn't help being furious:
"How come the 26th Mountain Artillery Regiment and the Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Tank Division haven't fired at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army?"

Now the only thing that can suppress the tanks of the Eighth Route Army is the two artillery regiments of the Mongolian Army.

And it can only be suppressed by long-range shelling, there is no way to destroy the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

Unless it is aimed directly at the tanks of the Eighth Route Army nearby.

But the tanks of the Eighth Route Army will not stop there to let the artillery of the Japanese army shoot directly, not to mention the artillery groups of the Eighth Route Army, which can provide artillery cover at any time.

The 3rd Division of Japanese tanks is equipped with a considerable number of rapid-fire guns, that is, anti-tank guns and anti-war guns.

But it's a pity that these rapid-fire guns can't penetrate the armor of the Eighth Route Army tanks at all, and they can't even break the tracks.

The combat staff replied tremblingly: "Report to the commander, the artillery positions of the artillery wing will be ready soon."

Amakasu Shigetaro: "Within 3 minutes, I want to see the artillery regiment firing on the tanks of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer suddenly bowed his head.

Two minutes later, the shells of the two artillery regiments of the Japanese army launched long-range shelling in the direction of the Eighth Route Army tanks and infantry.

Boom, boom, boom...

The devil's artillery can't shoot with precision, and they didn't test fire in advance, so the impact point was very biased.

But the devils did not hit precise targets, but covered the tank area of ​​​​the Eighth Route Army with artillery fire.

Continuous explosion waves rose around the tank.

Compared with the artillery firepower coverage of the Eighth Route Army, the firepower coverage of the Devil's two artillery regiments seemed a bit inadequate.

Firstly, the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army is more accurate, and secondly, the artillery firepower of the Eighth Route Army is relatively large. Conservatively, the firepower of the 4 artillery regiments covers the devil's tanks and infantry with artillery fire, and the results will naturally be greater.

The Katyusha rocket is even more powerful, and the explosion wave alone can directly overturn the devil's tank.

More than 60 tanks of the Eighth Route Army were scattered widely.

The infantry of the Eighth Route Army is far behind the tanks.

Unless the devil's shell hit the turret, the explosion wave and shrapnel of the devil's shell would not pose a threat to the tanks of the Eighth Route Army.

And because the tank is durable, even if the devil's 75mm shell hits the turret of the tank, the Eighth Route Army tank soldiers in the tank can survive.

After all, it was the shelling of two artillery regiments, and three Leopard tanks were still hit by the devil's shells.

However, the tank soldiers of the Eighth Route Army drove their tanks towards the devil's tank attack.

Because the soldiers in the tank battalion knew that there must be brother artillery units to counter-suppress the devil's artillery positions.

It didn't take long for the artillery positions of the Devils to fire, and the Eighth Route Army artillery observers on the commanding heights of the hills soon saw the new artillery positions of the Devils.

So the artillery observers immediately guided the 150mm howitzer battalion to counter-suppress the devil's artillery positions.

"idiot!"

"waste!"

Looking at the shelling of the two artillery regiments, the suppression effect on the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army was not satisfactory.

In the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, Amakasu Shigetaro was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Amakasu Shigetaro gave the order indifferently: "Send the order to fire chemical bombs at the area of ​​​​the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

The old devil knows that the Eighth Route Army is very rich, and the tank soldiers are likely to be equipped with gas masks.

But now, a dead horse can only be used as a living horse doctor.

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer suddenly lowered his head, turned around and went to deliver the order.

At this time, the 150mm howitzers of the Eighth Route Army were already suppressing the positions of the two artillery regiments of the Japanese army.

The Devil Artillery Wing is ready to move the artillery position again.

But the order from the headquarters also came down, and chemical bombs were fired at the tank troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The military orders fell like a mountain.

The Devil artillery had no choice but to withstand the fierce artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and fire gas bombs at the tank emplacements of the Eighth Route Army.

After firing two rounds of gas bombs, some cannons and artillery had been destroyed, and the Devil artillery quickly moved their artillery positions against the artillery fire.

When they found that the devils were firing gas bombs in their direction, the tank soldiers in the tank quickly put on their gas masks.

The infantry following behind the tank soldiers also put on gas masks.

Today's Eighth Route Army is very wealthy. Not only the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has a helmet and a anti-virus area for each soldier, but even the main force of the 129th Division in Southeast Shanxi is the same.

After the devils stopped shelling, Sun Desheng immediately seized the opportunity and led the tank battalion to rush towards the devils' tanks and infantry at full speed.

……

on the left.

一开始，是独立团的4个75毫米山炮营，1个105毫米榴弹炮营，1个150毫米榴弹炮营。

A total of 6 artillery battalions covered the devil's tanks and infantry with artillery fire.

After the 150mm howitzer battalion fired long-range bombardment on the Devil's artillery position.

There were only 5 artillery battalions left to shell the devils, and the artillery firepower was suddenly reduced by a large amount.

Of course, although it is an artillery battalion, each artillery battalion is larger than an artillery regiment, and larger than the devil's artillery wing.

However, the devil's tanks and infantry were still advancing against the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

But at this time.

On a commanding height on a hill, an experienced artillery observer calculated the shooting elements on a precise map with precise methods, and then communicated it to the B4 heavy howitzer position behind through a walkie-talkie.

On the positions of six artillery groups.

24 exquisite and majestic B4 heavy howitzers raised their barrels high.

The loaders pushed the high-explosive shells into the barrel with a small crane and closed the breech block.

"Target, the devils attack the troops from the left."

From the walkie-talkies at each artillery position, the command of the commander of the B4 howitzer battalion came:
"fire."

The order was given, and the gunners behind each gun position pulled back the matchlocks in their hands.

Immediately.

The muzzle fireworks of 24 B4 heavy howitzers under the camouflage net bloomed, and the huge and dull cannon sound resounded through the artillery positions.

Set off a huge explosion of smoke and dust.

Twenty-four 24mm high-explosive shells shot up almost at the same time, hitting the Devil tanks and infantry five kilometers away.

Boom, boom, boom...

In an instant, 150 explosion waves, which were several times larger and more violent than the 24mm shells, rose up in the devil's attack formation.

Accompanied by the sound of an explosion that shook mountains and mountains, the smoke of the explosion swept across the audience along with the shock wave, and sand, stone, mud and mist mixed with fragments of the devil's limbs flew randomly.

One of the 203mm high-explosive shells hit one of the Devil's Type [-] medium tanks. After the explosion smoke cleared, the entire Devil's Type [-] tank and the Devil's tank soldiers in the tank disappeared without a trace.

Only the parts of the tank and the fragments of the devil's limbs remained, blood rain and mud fog fell one after another.

Although the other shells did not hit the devil's tank, several of the devil's tanks were blown away by the blast.

More than a squadron of devil infantry was killed in the blast wave and was shaken to death.

Before the huge explosion, the attacking devils, whether they were devil tank soldiers or devil infantry, all looked terrified.

The 75mm and 105mm artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army can still withstand it.

But in the face of high-explosive shells exceeding 200mm, not to mention the flesh and blood, even the steel body of the tank, and even the reinforced concrete permanent fortifications cannot withstand it.

"Nani?"

In the headquarters of the Mongolian army.

Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku, who were observing the tank battle on the right wing of the battlefield, felt the ground shaking and the rumbling sound of a huge explosion.

Can't help turning his head suddenly.

The two old devils looked at the battlefield through the artillery mirror, and saw more than 20 oval craters with a circumference of more than ten meters on the battlefield.

Even a 150mm howitzer cannot blast such a crater.

Did the Eighth Route Army call for air support?

Only aerial bombs can blow out such a large crater and make such a loud explosion sound.

But didn't see the plane, and didn't hear the roar of the plane's engine?
The doubts of the two old devils did not last long.

The second round of 203mm high-explosive shells fell on the Japanese offensive formation.

A series of huge explosion waves rose up in the Japanese attack formation. The soldiers were torn into pieces, the tanks were blown away by the explosion waves, and the tank soldiers inside were shocked to death. The explosion waves and sharp shrapnel swept around, reaping the Japanese soldiers life...

"Large-caliber heavy artillery!"

Seeing this scene, Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Issaku finally knew what was going on, and their faces were horrified.

Issaku Nishihara said with trembling voice: "And it is still not inferior to the Locust Army's 240mm heavy howitzers and heavy cannons. The caliber definitely exceeds 200mm!"

"The scale is no less than twenty!" After a pause, Issei Nishihara suppressed the fear in his heart, and said solemnly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we are in big trouble!"

The Japanese army also has large-caliber heavy artillery, and it is not far away, just in the city of Datong.

The battle plan of Amakasu Shigetaro and Nishihara Isce is to break the siege of the 1st Division, pull out the 1th Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 6st Division, and bombard the Eighth Route Army.

Twenty 20mm cannons and ten 150mm heavy howitzers can definitely teach the Eighth Route Army a profound lesson.

However, before the 1st Division was rescued, the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Eighth Route Army appeared first!

Taking a deep breath, Amakasu Shigetaro gave the order unwillingly: "Order, all attacking troops will withdraw immediately, and all troops are going to turn to Mongolia in the north."

"Hi!"

The combat staff officer on the side suddenly bowed his head.
