There are four rows in the artillery company, and each row has 10 field artillery and infantry artillery with a caliber of 75mm or more.

In order to prevent being hit by Japanese firepower, the four platoons were deployed to four different places.

As the orderly passed on the company commander's order to rake the ears, 40 artillery pieces opened up with full firepower, and began to counter-fire against the devils.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!"

Cannonballs dragged the line of fire one after another, and flew out from the artillery positions behind the defenders one after another.

The first to be hit by artillery fire was the Devils artillery position located more than 500 meters behind the Jiang'an line.

Gu Hisao believed that the defenders on the opposite side did not have the strength and courage to contend with his 6th Division.He even thought that after seeing the majesty and majesty of the imperial army, the other party would not be able to resist at all, and would at least be scared to death and run away.

If it is heavy, he kneels down and surrenders directly.

So he directly deployed the artillery position in a place with a wide view.

The front is unobstructed, and it is easy to launch artillery strikes on the defenders on the other side of the river, but at the same time, it also completely exposes itself to the vision of the Huben Camp.

Finally, Hisao Tani paid the price for his arrogance

Chapter 80 The Head of the Angry Devil Division (Please recommend tickets!)

"hurricane!"

"Hurricane Hurricane!"

The artillery shells flying out from the artillery positions of the Huben Battalion, with the screeching and ear-piercing sound of breaking the wind, fell on the Devils artillery positions one after another.

At that time, the Devil Artillery was still firing continuously at the Jiangbei defenders' position, and the shells had exploded suddenly, shaking the entire Devil Artillery position, and the flames were everywhere, as if the end of the world was coming.

When the shell hit the spot, dozens of devil artillerymen had no time to dodge, and were blown out on the spot.More Devil Artillery soldiers were wounded by broken shrapnel, and screamed again and again for a while.

"The enemy's artillery fire is coming, hide quickly, hide quickly!"

The surviving Devil artillerymen screamed and dropped their positions, and ran towards the surrounding bomb craters and bunkers as fast as they could.

Then, the second round of rapid fire from the Huben Battalion Artillery Company slammed down again.

When the artillery shell exploded, it was a big hole. The field guns and howitzers of the devils were blown up, and the barrels, gun mounts and other parts were torn apart.Even some devil artillerymen who hadn't had time to run far were affected one after another and were blown into the sky again.

After several rounds of rapid fire, the entire Devil Artillery position was almost blown into a piece of scorched earth. The corpses of Devil Artillery, and their stumped limbs and arms were all over the place. Blood flowed across the ground, staining the ground red.

Afterwards, the artillery [-]st and [-]nd platoons began to adjust the angle of fire, and extended their firepower to cover the Devil's machine gun position by the river.

"Okay, well done, blow up these bastard bastards!"

Yang Jing saw through the binoculars that the Devil's artillery positions had become a sea of ​​flames, and then his eyes moved to the surface of the river.

The third and fourth platoons of the artillery were bombarding the Devils crossing the river indiscriminately at this time.Without the threat of the devil artillery, the soldiers of the machine gun team carried heavy machine guns one after another, got out of the bunker, and continued to block the river with firepower.

"Hurricane, Hurricane!"

Surrounded by the screaming and piercing sound of the wind, the shells slammed down on the river, "boom, boom, boom", and immediately after the shells exploded, huge water columns and waves were set off.

With the water column as the center, the water waves quickly rippling away in all directions, and the originally calm river surface suddenly became turbulent, overwhelming the river and the sea.

In addition, at least a dozen wooden boats and rubber boats were devastated by shells and were blown to pieces. A pile of wood fragments floated on the water, and clusters of fireworks burned on the hull.

Some ships were overturned by the shock wave, and hundreds of devil soldiers rolled from the boats into the river.

"Ya Butterfly! Save me, save me!"

The little devils struggled in the river, some were killed by shells on the spot, and some were stunned and drowned in the icy river.

"Baga! Don't be afraid of fighting, warriors of the empire, continue to attack, attack! Kill the chicken!"

The devil commander waved his command knife vigorously, and ordered the soldiers to continue crossing the river hoarsely.

However, trying to forcefully cross the river under such circumstances is tantamount to courting death.

The Devils crossing the river were hit continuously by the defenders' artillery and heavy machine guns, causing heavy casualties. Nearly half of the boats crossing the river were destroyed, making it difficult to move forward for a while.

The entire surface of the Huangpu River is full of struggling ghost heads.Hundreds of ghost corpses drifted with the tide, and large swathes of bright red blood poured into the river, turning into a river of red blood.

Three miles away from the south bank of the Huangpu River, on a high ground, Hisao Tani, the commander of the 3th Division of the Japanese Army, has been watching the battle of crossing the river with binoculars.

When he saw that the troops crossing the river were beaten so badly by the defenders, he was so angry that his eyes burst into flames, and he almost dropped the binoculars in his hand.

And when he saw that even the artillery positions deployed by the river were taken away by Huben Battalion, the old devil finally couldn't sit still.

"Ba Ga! Such a cunning Chinese army, hateful, really hateful!"

After Gu Hisao roared, he ordered Shimono Yihuo, the chief of staff on the side: "Shimono-kun, immediately order Oshima Sadao to re-establish an artillery position and launch artillery countermeasures against the Jiangbei China Army artillery position!"

"Haye!"

Shimono-Horton responded first, and immediately took the order to leave.

Not long after, Sadao Oshima, the captain of the 6th Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army, followed the chief of staff Shimono Yihuo and ran over quickly.

Gu Hisao's face darkened, and he shouted: "Oshima-kun, why don't you quickly execute the military order and come to me?"

Sadao Oshima said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, division chief, it's not because he is a low-ranking officer who doesn't carry out military orders, it's because this enemy army is extremely cunning, and they deployed their artillery positions in a hidden position in the rear.

The humble job cannot lock its specific location at all, so it is difficult to implement your military order.

Otherwise, if we shoot at a range, even if all the shells carried by our army are emptied, it may not be able to destroy all the enemy's field artillery. "

Gu Hisao was unwilling to let the artillerymen of the Huben Battalion go, so he thought for a while and continued: "Is there no other way?"

Oshima Sadao said: "There are ways, but the humble job needs the assistance of the weather team."

"Weather team?" Gu Hisao's eyes lit up, "Yoshi! Oshima-kun is indeed the best artillery commander in the empire."

The chief of staff next to him, Shimono Yihuo, followed suit and said, "With the meteorological team condescending and conducting observations from the air, we can easily locate the exact position of the opponent's artillery position regardless of the obstacles ahead."

"Yeah!" Gu Hisao nodded heavily in agreement, and immediately said: "Shimono-kun, immediately order the meteorological team to release the sounding balloon and determine the exact position of the enemy's artillery position!"

"Haye!"

Shimono Yihuo nodded heavily, then turned around and left quickly.

"Your Excellency, division commander, I have gone to redeploy the artillery positions."

Oshima Sadao asked for instructions, then turned around and left quickly.

The artillery position that had just been bombed by the Huben Battalion had only deployed less than half of the field artillery of the 6th Japanese Artillery Regiment, and the field artillery above the position had not been completely destroyed.

Therefore, the 6th Japanese Artillery Wing still maintains a very strong artillery strength.

Gu Hisao raised his binoculars again to observe the situation of the troops crossing the river.

I happened to see that several more ships were bombarded by the enemy, and they were torn apart on the spot. The imperial soldiers on board were either dead or injured, and fell into the water one after another.

"Baga! Road!" Gu Hisao's facial muscles began to tremble and twitch violently.

What he cares about is not the casualties, because even if all the thousands of imperial troops crossing the river are broken, it is not enough to hurt the 6th Division.

What he really cared about was the loss of ships, all of which belonged to his 6th Division.

Without boats, it will greatly increase the difficulty of crossing the river.

In addition, the successive defeats have dealt a great blow to the morale of the imperial army, and even made him the laughing stock of his colleagues in the empire.

Therefore, Tani Hisao cannot accept the failure of the battle of crossing the river anyway!

Chapter 81 Another exploit!

"A sounding balloon?"

Seeing the south bank of the Huangpu River and the air-sounding balloon rising above the devil's camp, Yang Jing's eyes froze immediately.

If it was before, Yang Jing might have thought it was just an ordinary hot air balloon, but now, after mastering defensive warfare, Yang Jing knows that the sounding balloon raised by the little devil is definitely not that simple.

The little devil wanted to use the air-sounding balloon to condescend, lock and detect the specific position of his own artillery position.

If it is an ordinary national army commander, maybe there is nothing to do with the devil's sounding balloon.

But Yang Jing was already guarding against the little devil's move. He put down the binoculars and shouted to Ma Tong, the guard platoon leader next to him: "Ma Tong, order the soldiers of each company to throw the smoke bombs for me."

The south bank of the Huangpu River.

When he saw the white smoke rising from the north bank, Tani Shoufu suddenly felt bad.

However, he still had some fantasy in his heart, so with a gloomy face, he asked his adjutant, Shimono Yihuo, "Baga! What is the meteorological team doing? Why hasn't the exact position of the Chinese artillery been calibrated yet?"

"Humble job, I'll go and ask." Shimono Yihuo bowed, and quickly ran over to ask.

After a while, he ran over in a hurry and reported with a drooping face: "Your Excellency, according to the response from the weather team, there was white smoke everywhere above the Chinese Army's position, and it was impossible to see the specific situation clearly, so it was impossible to determine the position of the Chinese Army's artillery. .”

"Baga! What a cunning Chinese!" The last hope in his heart was shattered, and Gu Hisao's old face suddenly turned blue with anger.

Chief of Staff Shimono Yihuo said: "It seems that the commander of the Chinese army on the opposite side is a difficult opponent. He seems to have expected that the imperial army will send a meteorological team to determine the position of his artillery, so he came up with a countermeasure of releasing smoke bombs.

At the moment, we can only seek support from naval aviation. "

After a pause, Shimono Yihuo continued: "But it's too late today, we might as well take a rest, and it won't be too late to continue the action tomorrow morning."

Gu Hisao fell into deep thought.

At this time, an intelligence staff officer hurried over and reported with a very solemn expression: "Reporting to your Excellency, the commander of the division, the identity information of the defender on the opposite side has been found."

"Oh?" Gu Hisao focused his eyes, he was eager to know the identity information of the army on the north bank of the Huangpu River that had brought great shame to the imperial army, and hurriedly asked, "Which Chinese army is on the opposite side?"

The intelligence staff paused and said, "Hu Ben Camp."

"The Huben Camp?" Gu Hisao's expression changed, "Is that the Huben Camp that brought shame and humiliation to the 3rd Division of the Imperial Army in Baoshan?"

"Hay!"

"It's no wonder that this Chinese army was able to severely damage the vanguard of the imperial army and the troops crossing the river.

It seems that this Yang Jing is really not simple. "

After learning that the opponent was the Huben Camp, Hisao Tani regained his original composure.

As a famous general of the empire, he was naturally not a fool who would lose his mind when he got angry.

Shimono Yihuo reminded from the side: "Your Excellency, division commander, should we order to stop crossing the river?"

"Yeah!" Gu Hisao said, "This Yang Jing has been able to hit the imperial army one after another, so he is indeed a difficult opponent. Our army is not well prepared today, and it is really not suitable to cross the river to fight again!"

After saying this, Gu Hisao's face suddenly became gloomy: "However, the 6th Division of our Imperial Army is not comparable to the idiots of the 3rd Division!

This Chinese army wants to build glory on the head of my 6th division, it is simply a dream!

Send me the order, and the troops crossing the river will turn in and come back immediately.

The army took a short rest, and after dark, they bypassed the Songjiang Wharf and looked for a suitable location to cross the river from the upstream and downstream!

In addition, the messenger artillery company opened fire immediately to cover the transfer of the crossing troops! "

"Haye!"

Shimono Yihuo nodded heavily, and immediately took orders to leave.

On the surface of the Huangpu River.

The Devils crossing the river troops were overjoyed when they received the order to transfer in.They scrambled to turn around and row the boat towards the south bank, fleeing the river in embarrassment.

"Help, wait for us, wait for us!"

The ghost soldier who fell into the river was screaming for help at the top of his lungs while paddling hard.

"Want to run?"

Yang Jing raised the corner of his mouth, showing a cruel smile, and immediately said to Ma Tong, the guard platoon leader next to him: "Order the artillery company, extend the firepower to me, and blast his mother!"

"Yes!"

Ma Tong took the order with a bang, and immediately called to convey the order to the artillery company.

Then, the artillery of both the enemy and our side opened up their firepower one after another, and an artillery battle of unprecedented scale was carried out.

"Boom boom boom!"

Explosions one after another resounded over the entire Songjiang Wharf, as if they were about to tear apart the supreme sky.

The shells fell into the Huangpu River, which not only continued to cause heavy casualties to the Devils crossing the river, but also greatly increased the difficulty of the Devils crossing and paddling the river due to the splashing waves.

In the end, only two or three hundred of the more than 1000 devil soldiers crossing the river managed to escape back to the south bank of the Huangpu River.
