After successfully destroying the Japanese's observation balloon, Li Yunfei put away his gun and stood up. He asked Huang Qidong,"Chief of Staff, what were you about to say?”
Huang Qidong also reacted at this time. He looked at Li Yunfei as if he was looking at a monster, full of disbelief and shock. He muttered,"Guild Leader, you're really awesome. I have nothing more to say.”
"Xiao Huang! You'll get used to it in the future." Li Yunfei smiled and patted Huang Qidong's shoulder. He didn't care that Huang Qidong was older than him by more than 20 years and kept calling him Xiao Huang. Huang Qidong couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
You're the boss, you have the final say!
While Li Yunfei was teasing Huang Qidong, the 337th Regiment's Heavy Artillery Battalion, which had already been deployed, immediately started firing when they saw the exploded observation balloon in the distance.
Heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters was a weapon that even the Japanese did not have many weapons. In the Chinese army, only a small number of troops had cannons with a diameter of more than 100 millimeters.
Therefore, when the 18 howitzers roared, the sky seemed to fall silent.
The cannonball with a long trail of light streaked across the sky.
The artillery brigade behind the Japanese Army's 77th regiment was shocked by the explosion of a large number of observation balloons. The subsequent artillery bombardment and the whistling sound of the artillery shells getting closer and closer dragged light in the sky like meteors falling. The cannonballs that fell made them all dumbfounded.
" Defensive cannon fire…"
The captain of the artillery unit shouted in a hurry. The artillery shell had already landed accurately, and the earth-shattering explosion exploded on the Japanese artillery unit's position.
The mountain cannons and infantry cannons that had just been unloaded from the trucks were sent flying in the explosion. The moment they landed on the ground, the barrels and tubes turned into fried dough twists.
Many artillery and logistics personnel were engulfed by the flames of the explosion, while some were sent flying by the waves. Even those who were slightly further away had their internal organs shattered.
Especially the 155mm howitzer shells, the absolute killing radius of the explosion was 80 meters, and the killing radius of the fragments was more than 150 meters.
Many of the Japanese who were lying on the ground in a hurry were also killed by the explosion.
Because they were only lying on the ground, the shock waves from the explosion of the large-caliber howitzer spread through the ground. The Moon's chest, which was close to the ground, could not withstand such a huge force.
The explosion of a large-caliber artillery shell was not like what was shown in the movies. Each shot only left a small pit. Every shot was quite terrifying.
The captain of the Japanese Artillery Battalion was very smart. When he was lying down, he bent his knees and knelt down with his elbows on the ground, trying to keep his abdomen and chest away from the ground.
Because the moment he heard the sound, he knew that it was the sound of heavy artillery, not infantry cannons or mountain cannons, but the sound of large-caliber howitzers.
The instinctive reaction of the Japanese artillery captain allowed him to escape. On the other hand, the Japanese who were lying within 40 to 50 meters of the explosion point could not get up even though they escaped the shrapnel.
The artillery position had not been built yet, but the enemy had already found a precise cannon. The first moment the captain of the artillery unit stood up, he decisively gave an order,"Retreat quickly."
The order was given without any hesitation. That was heavy artillery. One had to know that there was only one independent heavy artillery regiment in the entire Shanxi.
With his artillery unit, there was no way he could fight against the heavy artillery. Moreover, his artillery position had not been constructed yet, so there was no way he could counterattack!
However, even if he built an artillery position, his artillery could still counterattack. However, his artillery battalion only had a few hundred people. The artillery they were equipped with were only eight 70mm mountain cannons and four 70mm infantry cannons.
There were only twelve cannons in total. How could they be a match for the ten heavy cannons in one go?
However, the Artillery Battalion's position was already in a mess. Six cannons had been blown into scrap metal in the previous bombardment, and many people had been injured. Eighteen huge craters had appeared in the Artillery Battalion's position, and the craters were still emitting pungent smoke and heat waves.
Before the artillery battalion could receive the order to retreat, another round of artillery shells fell. This time, the artillery shells were no longer tracers. The first round of artillery fire was a precise strike. There was no need to correct it. It was a rapid fire.
The artillery shells fell again. This time, the trucks beside the artillery position were also within the range of the artillery shells.
This time, the Japanese artillery captain didn't even make a sound. Even if he dodged in time, the cannonball didn't have eyes. When it landed beside him, his body was instantly torn apart and almost melted in the flames of the explosion.
The intense artillery fire engulfed the Japanese's artillery unit once again. In the distant grassland, a special forces soldier holding an infrared telescope contacted the artillery unit again with a walkie-talkie."It was an accurate hit. The Japanese's cannons are all dead.”
Two to three rounds of accurate firing from the eighteen heavy cannons had a terrifying destructive power. When the smoke from the last explosion dispersed, there were no more Japanese who could stand up.
A large number of trucks were burning at the side, and the vegetation was ignited by the high temperature. It was like a living hell.
At the same time, at the Heavy Artillery Battalion's position more than 8,000 meters away, the Japanese's artillery battalion was easily destroyed. The Heavy Artillery Battalion's artillery did not have time to celebrate. They immediately adjusted their shooting elements and aimed at the 77th Regiment.
All the areas near the small temple were marked with shooting elements. They only needed to fire according to the shooting elements.
After the adjustment, the raised cannon barrel was aimed directly at the 77th Regiment.
