The distance between Yanggong Town and Cao 'an Town wasn't far. The straight-line distance from Yanggong Town to Cao' an Town was less than eight kilometers. As for the situation of the road.
At that time, China's central region was the fastest developing region. It also benefited from the golden period of ten years of development, so the traffic situation in the central region was relatively good.
Unlike the mainland, the traffic was terrible. Therefore, Sun Xinpu's heavy artillery regiment only took about ten minutes to rush from Yanggong Town to the northern area of Cao 'an Town with 48 heavy artillery.
After sensing Cao An Town's rear, Sun Xinpu roughly looked at the terrain and began to place the cannons.
Due to the urgency of the time, Sun Xinpu didn't plan to place all the cannons together. He didn't plan to place one cannon at a time. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to dig out the artillery positions. They would use it for now and excavate the emplacement after the battle ended this afternoon.
"Messenger, send a message to the second regiment and tell them that we are ready. Tell them to give us their coordinates!"
Sun Xinpu said loudly after seeing that they had finished the simple arrangements.
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, the messenger returned with a telegram. On it were the coordinates given by Second Ball.
Sun Xinpu ordered all the cannons to fire according to the coordinates on the map.
" Target: Enemy attack!"
"Ruler 720!"
"Direction, right 007!"
"High and low plus five!"
" reload! Activate the delay fuse!"
"One effective shot!"
"Fire!"
....
"Boom!"
..
The moment the commander waved the flag, the forty-eight heavy cannons scattered all over the area suddenly began to roar.
The air waves from the heavy artillery rolled up a large amount of sand on the ground. In winter, when the weather was dry, large amounts of air waves caused dust to rise.
However, 48 heavy artillery shells flew towards the Japanese army's attack position with a whistling sound.
.................
2nd Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Company
"Sir Lian, our company has already lost three heavy machine guns. The Japanese are less than 150 meters away from our position!”
Guan Yongzhen's vice-captain ran to his side and smiled bitterly.
"I know! Even if the entire company was wiped out, they had to defend their position. Go and generate electricity for the camp seat and request for backup!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Wu ~ wu ~ wu ~"
"Wu ~ wu ~ wu ~"
...
Just as Guan Yongzhen was about to turn around and leave, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.
This whistling sound stunned Guan Yongzhen for a moment before he reacted.
This was a heavy cannon. Only a heavy cannon would make such a sound. He had often heard such voices on the battlefield in Songhu.
"Get down! Heavy artillery fire!"
Guan Yongzhen pressed his deputy company commander to the ground and roared.
Then, waves of earth-shaking tremors came.
When all the soldiers heard Guan Yongzhen's roar, they quickly crawled into the trenches.
How powerful was a 155 caliber cannon?
With the point of impact as the center, there would be no living person within a radius of 100 meters. Within a radius of 100 meters to 150 meters, even if you were not killed by the shell, you would be killed by the shock.
There was a reason why heavy artillery was called a strategic weapon. Such large-caliber heavy artillery was a nightmare for infantry.
Because if you were just a little bit closer to the point of impact, even if you didn't die from the explosion, your internal organs would be shattered because they couldn't withstand the impact of the explosion.
However, because the first round of cannon fire was for real, there was a deviation, but the deviation was not big. Most of the artillery shells accurately landed on the Japanese's offensive positions. Don't ask me why the first round of test firing was so accurate. You will understand once you check the effectiveness of archery. The effective shooting was a test shot with precise coordinates.
After the first round of bombardment, Guan Yongzhen shook his head on the ground. He felt that his head was ringing and buzzing, as if there was something.
After about ten seconds, he felt a little better. At this time, he quickly got up from the ground and looked at the position in front of him.
The Japanese who were like a tide just now were now few and far between. There were also some Japanese who were lying on the ground with their hands over their heads, as if they were being tortured.
"Commander Lian, the regiment headquarters sent a message, asking us to immediately contact the Heavy Artillery Regiment and inform them of the deviation in position. They will immediately adjust the coordinates!”
The communicator ran to Guan Yongzhen and shouted.
"Good! Immediately generate electricity for the artillery regiment and let them advance another 50 meters! This distance is too close!"
"Yes, sir!"
..............
Then, the Heavy Artillery Regiment adjusted their coordinates and began to bombard the Japanese army again.
Within the division headquarters of the 13th division,
"This... This was…This was a six-inch caliber cannon! Baka! Since when did that person have a six-inch cannon!”
Dizhou Li Bing listened to the sound of the cannon. Years of military experience told him that this was a 155 caliber heavy cannon.
"Your Excellency Major General! The captains of the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the 58th Regiment had sent their farewell telegrams. Their troops had suffered heavy losses. For the honor of the Empire's soldiers, they would launch the final charge!”
A messenger sent a telegram. It was a farewell telegram from the last two battalions of the 58th Regiment. In the earlier bombardment, both of their battalions had suffered heavy losses.
Now, the total number of people in the two teams did not exceed 1,000, only about 700. The two battalions only had around seven hundred men. It could be said that these two battalions had already lost their basic offensive ability.
"Ba ~ ga ~ these two bastards, tell them to retreat immediately! It was foolish of them to charge at the heavy artillery!”
Dizhou Li Bing was furious. Charging towards the heavy artillery was simply courting death.
"It's too late! They had already started charging after sending this telegram!”
All the communicators knew that after the farewell telegram was sent, the troops under their command would launch a deadly charge and would not make any other moves.
Dizhou Libing immediately ran to the observation port and picked up the binoculars.
As expected, the remaining 700 men of the two battalions had already launched their final attack. Sun Xinpu's heavy artillery continued to fire at the Japanese.
At the 2nd Regiment's position, all kinds of heavy and light machine guns and mortars were firing at their heads.
