It was the independent artillery battalion led by Shen Dalang that fired the first round of rocket launchers at the Japanese headquarters.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, three Type 63 107mm light towed rocket launchers advanced to the artillery position eight kilometers away from the Japanese command building. The three cannons fired at the same time, and 36 rocket launchers flew towards the command building like roaring fire dragons. Immediately, several neighboring buildings were covered by the artillery attacks.
Countless Japanese were woken up from their sleep by the artillery shells. Before they could even get dressed and take out their guns, hundreds of Japanese died in the first round of bombardment.
The banquet hall was already in chaos. The dancers and singers screamed and fled in all directions. The officers were at a loss and shouted.
Matsushita Tarou was the first person to react among the high-ranking officers of the Japanese army who were attending the banquet. He rushed to the general and shouted anxiously,"General, please evacuate the headquarters immediately and head to the warship Izumo to avoid the attack of the Chinese.”
Shirakawa was a Japanese army general after all. In the face of the constant explosions in the headquarters building, he still maintained the demeanor of a general in the face of danger. He raised the glass in his hand again and drank it in one gulp. Then, he said calmly,
"Baka, you've been scared to this extent by the Chinese's sneak attack. Look at yourself, you don't look like an Imperial officer at all.”
"Ha Yi!"
The panicked officers were so embarrassed that they felt ashamed. They quickly came back to their senses and thought that this should be a small group of Chinese people causing trouble.
"Pass on my orders. Find the location of this Chinese army. Order the navy to cover it with artillery fire. Order the Guards to rush to the headquarters. Order all the soldiers in the headquarters to be on standby.”
"Ha Yi!"
The Japanese military officers obeyed the order and left. As soon as they left the door, they bumped into the second round of artillery fire from the independent brigade's artillery camp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
A cannonball landed right in front of the entrance of the banquet hall. The Japanese officers who were heading out were instantly blown up. Some were dead, some were injured, and some were screaming.
Matsushita Tarou was also knocked to the ground by the blast of the shell. After getting up, he ignored General Baichuan's resistance and ordered the guards to drag him away.
At the artillery camp, Shen Dalang raised his binoculars and looked at the burning Japanese headquarters. He grinned and said,""Hahaha, little Japanese, f * ck your grandmother. You didn't think that you would have such a day, did you? Your Grandpa Shen will add some more spice to you.”
"Order, for the third round of salvo fire, load the first and second emplacement with armor-shattering shells, load the third emplacement with phosphorous aluminum incendiary shells, and fire!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The 24 armor-shattering bullets and 12 phosphorous aluminum incendiary bombs roared again and fell from the dark night sky into the building of the Japanese command center.
The artillery battalion led by Shen Dalang utilized the firepower advantage of the P-63 107mm rocket launcher to the extreme. A volley of three rocket launchers was equivalent to the firepower of three howitzer battalions. It was extremely fierce.
The standard 107mm rocket launcher was a combination of 12 shots. It took only 7-9 seconds to complete a salvo and less than three minutes to fire the next round. It was an excellent weapon for attacking close-range targets.
Faced with the suppression of the independent brigade's rocket artillery, the Japanese defenders in the headquarters building were unable to fight back.
However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the artillery of the independent brigade used armor-shattering bullets and incendiary bombs in the third round of salvo. They were specially used to deal with the enemy tanks and fortifications.
After three rounds of rocket launchers, hundreds of different types of bombs exploded in the Japanese's headquarters building, instantly turning the headquarters into a sea of fire. The Japanese who were hit by the incendiary bombs turned into balls of fire and scattered everywhere. It was like a scene of hell on earth was playing out in the Japanese's headquarters.
"Bagaya Lu, maintain order, don't run around, return to your position!”
After Matsushita Tarou settled General Shirakawa in the bomb shelter of the headquarters, he immediately led the military police to the front line to suppress the troops that had been disrupted. Along the way, he cut down several Japanese soldiers with his sword and finally stabilized the troops.
He raised his binoculars and looked around. Finally, he found the artillery position from the fourth round of bombardment of the Independent Brigade. He immediately shouted to the signalman behind him,"
"Baka, we have found the artillery position of the Chinese people. Immediately inform the navy, heading southwest, scale 604, distance 35 kilometers, requesting artillery coverage!”
At the position of the independent artillery battalion, Shen Dalang also noticed the exasperated Matsushita Taro through his binoculars. Looking at his twisted face, Shen Dalang was overjoyed and said," Haha, brothers, the Japanese are getting anxious. They need help now. Order, the fifth round of three volleys. After we're done, we'll retreat and change to another position to continue bombarding the damn Japanese.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the fifth round of artillery landed on the enemy's position, Shen Dalang led the artillery battalion to quickly retreat from the existing artillery position.
During the design, this cannon had already achieved the following: Not too far up the neck (easy to raise the head), not too far down the hips (easy to step), not too wide over the shoulders (easy to pass), close to the center of gravity (to prevent twisting the waist).
Not only was the entire cannon light, but it could also be quickly disassembled and combined. After disassembling, the weight of a single component did not exceed 30 kilograms. Any soldier could carry it and run. This was something that no other rocket launcher in the world could compare to the Type 63 107mm rocket launcher.
Rumble!
The moment the cannon landed on the ground, it exploded, sending dust flying everywhere. Even the ground shook.
Shen Dalang, who had already entered the next location a kilometer away, looked at the original location that had been blasted into a huge pit and said with lingering fear,""Damn it, luckily I ran fast.”
Then, he returned to his cold expression and issued a new round of orders.
"Order, fire three cannons at the enemy's headquarters!”
At the same time, Guo Zixu, who was far away at the top of Sheshan Mountain, used the telescope in his hand to determine the exact location of the Japanese warships through the actions of the Japanese warships.
In the night, two Type 03 long-range rocket launchers slowly erected their barrels.
