In the early morning of November 26th, in the Jin Village, Jiapu, and Xintang lines on the west bank of Taihu Lake defended by the 144th Division, the defending officers and soldiers slept in the trenches for a night without disarming. In the morning, they opened their sleepy eyes and breathed in the fresh air blowing from the surface of Taihu Lake. Before they could stretch, they heard a rumbling sound in the distance. Was it thunder? But there were no dark clouds or lightning.
Division Commander Guo Xunqi picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance. He saw dozens of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles winding along the Taihu Lake Road for a few kilometers. The Japanese infantry followed closely behind. Division Commander Guo's palm was sweating. His hand trembled slightly as he handed the binoculars to Fei Long. He asked in a trembling voice," Brother Fei Long, the enemy is coming. How do we fight this battle?"”
"Teacher, have you forgotten? We just borrowed a battalion of artillery. Not only did they have artillery, but they also had heavy artillery. It was more than enough to deal with the Japanese!”
"Oh, right, I almost forgot! Yesterday, he had borrowed an artillery battalion from Captain Huxen.”Division Commander Guo seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly straightened his back.
"Pass down the order. Artillery, get ready!" Commander Guo proudly ordered the messenger.
"Brother Fei Long, do you think artillery is that powerful?”Commander Guo was still a little guilty.
"I have to give you some knowledge about artillery. Our national artillery battalion has eight 149.1mm caliber 32 times 15cm heavy howitzers. The shells weigh 42.3 kilograms and have a maximum range of 15100 meters. We also have more than ten 75mm Bofors Mountain Cannons. The grenades weigh 6.5 kilograms and have a maximum range of 9600 meters. There are also dozens of small and medium-sized mortars and thousands of shells. They are enough to smash the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles. There is nothing to worry about.”
"Oh, good fellow, it's so powerful!”Division Commander Guo inhaled a breath of cold air. His heart seemed to have taken a calming pill, and his mood relaxed a little.
The Japanese mechanized troops were advancing quickly toward our position with great arrogance and arrogance. They did not feel any danger because they had rarely encountered opponents since the invasion of China.
Five thousand meters, three thousand meters, one thousand meters…
"Fire!" Commander Guo's order was so loud and clear. With a good weapon in hand, one would have confidence!
The artillery fired in unison, and the shells whistled like a huge hail towards the mechanized troops of the Japanese army. Suddenly, smoke billowed and sparks flew. The tanks and armored vehicles that were hit by the shells flew into the sky with a loud bang. The Japanese who were hit by the shells were thrown into the sky and fell to the ground.
In a moment, a few rounds of heavy artillery bombardment caused the Japanese mechanical team to become scattered and scattered. A few deep wrinkles appeared on the old face of the Japanese 18th Division's division commander, Yoshishima Sadao. Fortunately, he was sitting in the jeep behind the troops. Otherwise, he might have been killed by the shells. He cursed," Bagaya Road, what is our intelligence for?!" The Chinese army didn't even inform us beforehand that they had such powerful cannons, causing our Imperial Army to suffer a huge loss.”
"According to our intelligence, there was an artillery regiment that was withdrawn from the Songhu battlefield. It was originally to be stationed in Jiaxing, but it suddenly received an order to be transferred to Nanjing. It left Changxing yesterday, so why did it suddenly appear today?”the chief of staff explained.
"Retreat!" Ushijima Sadao ordered, his neck blushing.
The mechanized troops of the Japanese army withdrew dejectedly, and the officers and soldiers of the 144th Division fired their guns to celebrate the victory.
"It really is a divine cannon! Without using a single shot, they had defeated the enemy!”Commander Guo was overjoyed, and his heart felt as if it had drunk honey.
"What's the big deal? The good show is yet to come. There's nothing to worry about here for the time being. I want to go to the 146th Division's position to take a look. Goodbye, Commander Guo!”Fei Long could not wait to find a chance to fight.
"Good luck, Brother Fei Long!"
"Goodbye!"
Fei Long rushed to the 146th division in Xintang and was caught up in an unprecedented battle.
Hundreds of brave Japanese cavalry rushed toward the 146th Division's position, whistling while bending over and firing their rifles.
The soldiers of the 146th Division had never seen such a large cavalry attack before. They were all scared silly and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Fei Long arrived in time. As soon as he arrived in the trenches, he picked up his sniper rifle and aimed at the head of the fastest Japanese cavalry. The Japanese cavalry was hit in the head and rolled off the horse. When the other brothers saw Fei Long fire, they also fired at the Japanese cavalry. The Japanese cavalry were hit and rolled off their horses. The Japanese cavalry also fired at our position. Our soldiers also suffered some casualties.
"Continue shooting!" Fei Long said as he fired. Some more cavalrymen were shot off their horses.
The Japanese cavalry felt that the enemy soldiers 'firepower was fierce, so they immediately turned their horses around and retreated. Immediately, the Japanese army came up with another strange move, releasing hundreds of police dogs to sweep toward our position like a pack of wolfdogs. The soldiers on our side were also scared silly and did not know what to do. Fei Long shouted," Throw the grenades!”The brothers quickly took the grenades from their waists, unscrewed the covers, and pulled off the fuse. After a delay of two seconds, they threw them at the police dogs together. The grenades flew like raindrops to the police dogs. With a loud bang, hundreds of police dogs were blown up into the sky, and their limbs and legs were scattered all over the ground.
The Japanese army did not give up, but adjusted their forces to prepare for a new attack.
A moment later, the two Japanese regiments launched a charge at the same time on the left and right wings. The cavalry launched a frontal attack, and the enemy pressed on step by step. The situation was extremely critical. The speed of the cavalry was fast, and with the Japanese army attacking at the same time on both sides, our soldiers would definitely be distracted. If they were not careful, the position might be broken through.
Fei Long suggested that Commander Liu Zhaoli split his troops into three groups to stop them.
"You are the sniper. Brother Fei Long, you will lead a battalion of brothers to block the cavalry in the middle.”Commander Liu had complete faith in Fei Long's abilities.
"Brothers, follow me. Focus on the stomachs of the warhorses!”Fei Long jumped out of the trench as he spoke. He ran to a flat ground one arrow away and knelt on one knee, as if he was proposing to his beloved woman. He aimed at the stomach of the warhorse that was charging at the front and shot. The warhorse's stomach was shot, and its front hoof fell. The cavalry on the horse was thrown a few meters away due to inertia. If they did not fall to their deaths, they would be seriously injured and lose their combat ability.
The other brothers also knelt down on one knee like a flying dragon and raised their rifles to shoot at the stomach of the Japanese war horses. The war horses fell down one after another, and the Japanese fell to the ground, either dead or injured. The Japanese cavalry suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. The Japanese infantry on the left and right wings saw the cavalry retreat and also retreated.
An hour later, the Japanese infantry divided into three roads to attack again. The 146th Division rose up to block, but the Japanese army had difficulty making progress. At 3 p. m., the Japanese army was difficult to get an advantage and had to retreat.
It could be said:
The Japanese cavalry was in high spirits, and the Chinese infantry was brave.
Tanks and chariots were everywhere, and the sounds of heavy artillery were scattered everywhere.
