After taking care of the artillery of the 62nd Division, Zhang Chao joined the assault team that was bombarding the 62nd Division.
"Bomb fiercely, don't stop. The division commander said that we have to fire 24,000 rounds in an hour.”
"If you can't complete the mission, you won't have any meat to eat at night.”Wang Weize shouted excitedly at the soldiers of the 62nd Division lying on the ground.
The M1 75mm howitzer was a type of combined artillery that could be quickly disassembled into several parts for the artillery to carry.
The entire cannon weighed only 653 kilograms. The maximum range of the cannon was 9000 meters, the firing rate was 5 rounds per minute, and the initial velocity of the shell was 381 meters per second. There were 6 members in the cannon team.
A division of the independent army was equipped with 81 75mm howitzers, which could fire 24,000 rounds in an hour.
Wang Weize was happy, but the 62nd Division, which was under heavy fire, was suffering.
"Guild Leader, the enemy has been bombarding us for half an hour. Why isn't it over yet?”
"How would I know? Tell the brothers not to get up!”
Liu Dong, a regiment commander of the 62nd Division!
He could no longer see any hope of victory in the war!
Whether it was artillery fire, machine guns, or rifles, the enemy was much more advanced than them.
When the two sides were compared, it was as if they were from a different era!
Moreover, the other party's bullets and shells seemed to be free.
They were all lying on the ground, but the firepower of the Independent Army did not show any signs of slowing down.
Especially the cannons.
In this half an hour, the enemy had fired at least 13,000 rounds!
The soldiers of the 62nd Division had their morale reduced by the enemy's artillery fire. They no longer had the heart to fight!
At the same time, he envied the Independent Army for having such powerful firepower.
If only he was also a member of the Independent Army!
At the same time, this thought appeared in many people's minds.
If it weren't for the fact that the enemy's cannons and machine guns had not stopped firing, many of them would have surrendered.
It was too bloody brutal!
If this continued, they could lose their lives at any time.
Guns had no eyes!
This was not a country war. It was normal for them to surrender if they could not win. They were already used to it.
At this moment, the three commanders of the 62nd Division were also anxious.
"What should we do? If this continued, it would be very easy for the troops to mutiny!”Zhang Yang looked at Chu Yang anxiously.
"What should we do? Report to the commander and request the help of the 3rd and 4th armies!”
"If the Third Army and the Fourth Army don't help us get out of the battlefield, many people will surrender once the enemy stops firing!”
This was reality, even though Chu Yang didn't want to admit it.
The three of them didn't dare to delay and hurried to the military headquarters.
"How is the front line? Have you broken through the enemy's first line of defense?" Zhang Da asked anxiously when he saw the three of them enter.
The three of them did not dare to hide anything and told him everything in detail.
Zhang Da was dumbfounded.
How was this possible?
The three divisions attacked together, but they were unable to break through the defense line of one division. They were actually beaten like dogs.
Furthermore, they were facing a mutiny in the army?
How could Zhang Da accept this?
If the troops really mutiny, he would be punished by Chen Jitang's military law!
When he rebelled against Jiang, his troops had already defected three divisions. If he were to do it again, would Chen Jitang spare him?
It was obviously impossible.
Therefore, he could only look at Yang Jing and Huang Renhuan helplessly.
Yang Jing and Huang Ren were not in the mood to watch the joke anymore.
If it was really as Chu Yang, Zhang Yang, and Wang Peng had described, it would be hard to determine the outcome of this war. Therefore, they would not allow the 62nd Division to mutiny.
"Jia Tuo, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th divisions will reinforce the 62nd Division. The other 6 divisions will provide fire support and try to pull the 62nd Division out.”Yang Jing ordered.
"Yes, Commander."
"Huang Xingsi, move out the entire 4th Division to help the 62nd Division out. At the same time, send 6 artillery battalions to provide fire support.”
"Yes, Commander."
Jia Tuo and Huang Xinsi were the Chiefs of Staff of the three armies and four armies respectively.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Zhang Da had an idea.
"Old Yang, Old Huang, I think we should take this opportunity to attack the independent army on the other side. Once we break through the first line of defense, the following battle will be very beneficial to us.”
Zhang Da also had his own plans.
It was obvious that his request to fight this time had failed.
In the end, he still needed his brothers to save him. Otherwise, the 62nd Division might mutiny. He couldn't bear such a responsibility!
And even if the 62nd Division retreated, they probably wouldn't have the will to fight.
That was why he thought of such a method.
Using the 3rd and 4th armies to ignite the fighting spirit of the 62nd army.
If they broke through the defense line of the Independent Army in one fell swoop, he could also remove the responsibility.
Kill two birds with one stone.
" Hehe," Yang Jing sneered at Zhang Da.
How could he and Huang Ren not know what Zhang Da was thinking?
No one who could reach the position of commander was a fool.
However, even if they knew what Zhang Da was thinking, they had no choice but to cooperate.
Because what this guy said made sense.
Even if he helped the 62nd Division retreat, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, they could only cooperate with Zhang Da.
