At 2 p. m., the three artillery battalions from Deyang finally arrived at their designated positions!
There were a total of 60 75mm mountain cannons. This was a replica of the Type 27 Infantry Cannon. Its speed was increased by one-third, and the effective range of the shells had increased from the original 1800 meters to 2500 meters.
This time, Jiang Tianlin did not send out the 60mm mortars. Instead, he sent out 60 Mountain Cannons to crush the 4th division's courage.
It was a huge black paint pipe that was two meters long. The two wheels at the bottom were hinged together with screws.
"I wonder how big of a hole this cannon will make in the 4th division's camp!”
A soldier from the 12th Artillery Division exclaimed.
Dark clouds pressed down on the city, and the battle was about to begin!
These 60 cannons were guarded by three artillery battalions with a total of 500 soldiers.
These big guys had just been pulled out from the strategic warehouse. Other than the initial test phase, Jiang Tianlin had always treated the 75mm mountain cannon as a treasure.
A thick smell of engine oil assailed his nose. This was all for better preservation.
"Brigade Leader, the 2nd Brigade has already exchanged fire. According to the Young Marshal's plan of showing weakness, the first time they attack our troops, we need to feign an attack to make the enemy underestimate our firepower.”
Chen Tian nodded noncommittally. If the 12th Division had gone all out from the start, the 4th Division would have been able to easily encircle and annihilate the city, but they would have been caught in the crossfire.
At that time, if they wanted to seize Guangyang City, the artillery bombardment would definitely hurt the people in the city!
"Pass on my order. The 1st and 2nd regiments will fight separately. Don't concentrate your firepower, and don't use heavy and light machine guns.”
Chen Tian held the binoculars and a playful smile appeared on his face. This time, he wanted to tease that old man, Shi Renfu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the north gate, the artillery from the 4th Division tested their cannons a few times!
Only a few shells were fired, but only one landed on a position!
It had to be said that the 4th Division's artillery training was terrible!
In the northeast of the 1st Regiment, the trenches that had been dug were also slightly caved in by the artillery fire. Fortunately, the 4th Regiment only had 40mm mortars. This effect was like scratching an itch.
From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard from the ditch!
"That's a cannon. Cousin, did it really hail?”
In the northeast corner of the defensive position, a squad of 14 soldiers retreated into the trench.
However, this effect gave the 4th division a lot of courage!
"The 12th Division thinks that they can become the main force of the Sichuan Army just by digging a few trenches?!”
The 4th Division's 3rd Brigade Commander Gao Hai had joined Commander Tang this time. Commander Tang had organized the 4th Division into 3 divisions, and even a single spit could drown the 12th Division!
"The division commander said before the battle that after this battle, everyone will get 10 yuan!”
To the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division, nothing was more practical than money!
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Gao Hai took the lead and fired several shots at the sky with his machine gun!
"Oceans, women, official positions, everything! It's time for our brothers to make a name for themselves. The twelve divisions on the other side are all trash. Everyone, charge!”
This also announced the official start of the Northern City Battle!
A camp of 300 people was actually attacked by the entire army!
They didn't even try to advance in a crouching position. Everyone was like a live target, but the commander's order was to show weakness in the first attack!
Otherwise, this bunch of turtle grandsons would definitely be beaten into a sieve!
F * ck, the 1st Brigade's machine gun configuration was extremely terrifying. This was the heavy firepower route that Jiang Tianlin had always emphasized.
Once the weapons and bullets were used up, the workers at the arsenal could work overtime to produce them!
However, the cost of training these precious soldiers was far greater than making bullets.
It was easy to tell who was lighter and who was heavier!
Through Chen Tian's binoculars, he could even see the greed in the enemy's eyes!
"The more you beat them, the better. We can't let them be frightened, or they will run away!”
Chen Tian said excitedly.
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
A moment later,
When the enemy charged again, Chen Tian roared,"
"Fight!"
Hundreds of Type 16 rifles emerged from the trenches of the 1st Brigade!
F * ck, how could they fight like this in a war! The Major was really a military genius!”
Huang Xiaotian held the Huaxia Type 16 Rifle in his hand. The thick butt made him feel at ease. Although this thing did not have the firepower of the Type 17 light machine gun, the soldiers of the 12th Division must have a deep affection for this rifle. This was the first standard rifle produced by the First Munitions Factory.
He watched as Huang Xiaotian pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A distance of 500 meters, against a bullet traveling at 800 meters per second, was almost instantaneous!
It accurately hit an enemy's helmet!
This person was shocked. He took off his helmet and found a bullet hole!
Bang! Bang!
The dense sounds of bullets from Type 16 rifles slowed down the charging pace of the enemy's assault battalion!
But when they realized that other than a few unlucky fellows who were unfortunately shot, most of their brothers were still intact!
"Hehe, brothers of the 12th Division, your guns are really accurate!”
Gao Hai laughed wildly,
"It seems that Master has overestimated the combat power of the 12th Division. This kind of spear technique is simply too lousy!”
It seemed that he should be the one to take the lead!
"Messenger, order the 1st Regiment to charge from the front! The 2nd Regiment will surround them from the left and order the Artillery Battalion to cover them from the front!”
Gao Hai, who had already felt the high position and high salary beckoning to him, did not care at all. A few light machine guns slowly appeared on the 1st regiment's position!
"Our 3rd regiment will be the first to take the high ground in front of us.”
Although Gao Hai's 3rd Brigade only had 4 40mm mortars, they were able to reload them quickly!
The artillery fire set the land ablaze.
The 1st Brigade also suffered some casualties. A cannon shot down and blasted the soldiers in the trenches into the sky!
There was always a price to pay in a battle. No matter how small it was, there would still be warriors who sacrificed their lives!
"Dead!"
Huang Xiaofeng shrunk his head. He had just seen his brother get hit by a cannonball.
The shockwave directly swept him out of the trench!
Huang Xiaofeng wished he could hide his head in the helmet.
" F * ck, even a 40mm cannon is enough to make the infantry suffer!"
Chen Tian's eyes reddened as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Damn cannon, damn cannon!”
"F * ck, get rid of the cannon on the other side!”
Chen Tian looked at his dead and injured brothers being carried away one by one and shouted with red eyes,"
"Yes, Brigadier General!"
The first time the 12th Division was attacked by artillery fire, the soldiers 'confidence was shaken!
"Where are our cannons?"
Chen Jun opened his mouth wide and roared crazily.
Wang Dali had been waiting for the order to fight!
"The little 40mm shrimp on the other side is actually so arrogant! Find the position of the enemy's artillery! Adjusting the firing angle!"
The 75mm mountain cannon fired three times in a row!!!
The Artillery Battalion of the 12th Division finally showed their ferocious teeth!
However, there were only ten cannons at the start!
This was enough to deal with a group!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chen Tian looked at the cannonball that flew past him and swung his fist!
A guard in camouflage ran over and reported,"
"Brigadier General, there's a report from the 2nd Brigade!”
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Two regiments of the 2nd regiment have wiped out the 2nd regiment of the 4th division!”
"Everyone! Light machine guns, heavy machine guns, fire at will. Let those GPR people know what kind of troops our 12th Division is!”
Da da…da…da da…
The machine guns hidden in the fortifications instantly tore through all the camouflage!
The machine gunner was controlling the gun, and the ammunition supplier was also continuously operating from the side!
The Maxim Heavy Machine Gun fired 600 rounds per minute, and the trajectory was almost like a straight tongue of fire, reaping the lives of the enemy without any blind spots!
The dense metal bullets formed an impenetrable wall!
In an instant, all the soldiers of the charging 1st Battalion were turned into a bloody mess!
After a while, the 1st Battalion was wiped out!
There were ten more bullet holes on Gao Hai's body.
Huang Xiaoshan had long discovered that this guy was a high-ranking official!
"Hmph, hmph, I beat up a high-ranking official!”
The Type 17 light machine gun fired a volley!
Gao Hai, the brigade commander of the 4th Division's 3rd Brigade, was killed just like that!
In the face of death, he only had one thought, and that was why the situation had suddenly become like this!
Above the formation, flames soared into the sky, and a loud sound like thunder seemed to be able to penetrate eardrums!
The shells of the 12th Division were roaring! It drew beautiful arcs in the air!
