Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

According to Weiping Erhei's experience, such a large-caliber artillery must have extremely poor maneuverability. It is impossible to move immediately after firing.

In fact, our artillery positions changed positions after firing this round of artillery.

"Quick, let the infantry artillery squadron fire back and knock out the opponent's heavy artillery!"

"Rapid-fire artillery and recoilless guns attack the tanks in front of the enemy's position. Infantry artillery and light and heavy machine guns suppress the Haqi Road infantry. All tanks assault. A squadron follows the tanks and assaults the Haqi Road position!"

Suddenly, the Japanese did not care about treating the wounded, and various sounds such as "Has deserved it" and "One brother beat me" were heard.

Eight tanks were lined up in a row, and nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers followed the tanks and rushed towards our position.

Now there are about 180 Japs in a squadron of this cavalry regiment.

Under the influence of Li Yunlong, the Japanese cavalry brigade was in the process of transformation.

Now there is no brigade under their alliance, it is directly the squadron.

This kind of deployment of troops finally made the forward soldiers of the 4th Battalion stop yawning and became a little more challenging.

The maximum range of our army's self-propelled howitzers can reach about 13 kilometers. If fired from a high position, it can reach 15 kilometers.

But this is data that can only be achieved by firing rocket extended-range projectiles. This type of projectiles will have less charge and reduced power.

Therefore, if it can be solved with ordinary artillery shells, rocket extended range shells are not needed.

If anti-personnel explosive bombs are fired, the maximum range is about 9.5 kilometers.

The guns carried by the Japanese artillery squadron were 75mm mountain guns, and there were only two of them. The rest were some rapid-fire guns, [-] infantry guns, and mortars.

The maximum range of the 75mm mountain gun can also reach more than 8 kilometers.

Calculating from the range alone, it is possible to hit our army's self-propelled mortar.

The range advantage of only 1 and a half kilometers is not enough to form absolute suppression. It is impossible to place our artillery positions outside the range of the Japanese artillery.

However, our army's self-propelled mortars have armor protection, and its protective performance is rubbish compared to the Type 41A tank that has not yet come out.

But that's because the 41A's protection is too strong, not that the self-propelled mortar's protection is too weak.

Compared with the Type 41G tank decades later, the protective capabilities of this Type 99A tank are even worse. Its total combat weight is only 40 tons.

Besides, if you really don’t want to be hit by shells, you can just run away after shooting!

This is the advantage of having the word "self-motivated" in it.

If this can't be done, there is another way: use an infantry tank to rush up, kill the Japanese mountain artillery, and then come back. This is slightly risky. If you are continuously bombarded by rapid-fire cannons or recoilless rifles, you may be knocked down.

If the Japs throw a bunch of Molotov cocktails at them, the soldiers inside may die.

It is far from time to reveal the final trump card. No need for these desperate tactics!

The Japanese mountain artillery is located about 3 kilometers away from our artillery position.

At this distance, the 75mm mountain gun will not cause much damage to our self-propelled howitzer.

After receiving the order, the Japanese artillery squadron immediately ordered the launch of two 75mm mountain guns. Bombarded our army's original artillery position.

The Japanese also knew that our artillery was extremely ferocious and accurate. After firing three shells, they immediately began to move their positions.

But it was too late. It was covered by 24 anti-personnel explosive bombs from our side. The ground trembled, and the huge sound shattered the Japanese eardrums.

Not only were the two 75mm mountain guns blown to pieces, the gunners suffered all casualties, and the shells also exploded.

Cannonballs are not likely to explode when hit by gunfire.

Therefore, I'm afraid that Captain Wu's use of a pistol to fire artillery shells before his death would have no effect at all.

However, it is possible for a cannonball to explode if it is hit by a cannonball at close range.

The Japanese artillery position was a sea of ​​fire, and the rising smoke looked like a mushroom cloud.

"Report! Our squadron's mountain artillery was destroyed by the Haqi Road heavy artillery, and the shells exploded. The Haqi Road artillery moved their positions, and it is impossible to determine where the new Haqi Road artillery position is! Judging from the density of shelling, the enemy has at least 12 or more heavy artillery!" Japs! The artillery squadron leader reported to Wei Ping Erhei.

If this had happened a year ago, Weitian Erhei would never have believed that a battalion-level unit had such firepower.

But at this time, it just sighed: "The Haqi Road Independent Brigade is indeed well-deserved, and it is so terrifying!"

"Stop the shelling. Our artillery is no match for us. I can't believe that the opponent, with only a few hundred people, has so many heavy artillery!" Weiping Erhei reluctantly gave the order to stop the shelling.

It pinned its hopes for a breakthrough on those eight tanks.

Those eight tanks were rushing toward my position without fear.

Not at all frightened by the previous shelling. I don’t know if the Japanese tank soldiers are stupid or have been brainwashed by the Bushido spirit.

From the perspective of the 4th Battalion, these 8 tanks were just here to deliver food!

Provide some raw materials for future iron and steel making.

Whether it is a 30mm chain gun, a self-propelled howitzer firing armor-piercing projectiles, or a recoilless rifle, it can easily penetrate the fragile armor of the Japanese thin-skinned tank.

Soon, eight tanks were used by our army to test the armor-piercing capabilities of various weapons. Everything was turned into scrap metal, and none of the Japanese inside could crawl out alive.

A squadron following behind was about to escape when it was covered again by our army's machine guns and mortars.

The light and heavy machine guns and mortars behind were also destroyed one by one by our army.

This time, Weiping Erhei actually felt the pain.

The loss of livestockmen was second, less than one-third, probably. The key is that the heaviest weapon now is the grenade.

No matter whether it is a recoilless rifle, a mortar or a rapid-fire gun, there is not a single one left, and they have all become raw materials for our army.

There is no way to fight this battle!

"Let the warriors come back, turn back and lead Haqi Road out of the fortifications!" Weiping Erhei found a perfect explanation for his retreat.

"Roms!"

The Japanese took advantage of various covers, alternately covering and retreating.

Our army's infantry fighting vehicle, which served as a fixed firepower point, rushed out at this time.

Aren't you trying to lure me out of the fortification? I'm out, what can you do to me?

A few brave Japs threw a few grenades at the infantry tank, scratching the infantry tank's itch.

They were quickly beaten into pieces by machine guns.

The orderly retreat of the 26th Cavalry Regiment turned into a rout, and the slow-running Japanese became meat patties under the tracks. They would become fertilizer in the future, nourishing the land they invaded.

Probably God arranged them to atone for their sins in this way!

After running five kilometers away, our infantry tanks stopped pursuing. In this attack, more than 200 Japanese were killed.

By now, more than half of the Japanese had been killed or wounded, with more dead than injured.

Weiping Erhei recognized the reality: in terms of name, its troops still had half a regiment. But in fact, the strength of this half of the regiment is less than half of an infantry brigade.

And there are no heavy weapons.

With so many Japs and rifles, there is no way they can break through our army's position.

So it just wants to hold back our army and relieve some pressure on the 33rd Infantry Division. At the same time, wait for the 21st Division and the 35th Division to come up.

At that time, only by concentrating on using heavy firepower would it be possible to fight with our 4th Battalion.
