NOVEL FROG Chapter 7
The artillery position was set up behind a hidden hill behind Erdaogou.
Nine Krupp 105mm howitzers were neatly arranged in the gun pits.
"Company commander, battalion headquarters ordered, immediately launch a counterattack against the Japanese army and destroy the Japanese artillery positions"
"It's finally here. Everyone, get moving. Use all your strength. Today, each gun must fire 100 rounds. The unfinished gun crews will wash the stinky socks of the other gun crews.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the artillery position. As shells were stuffed into the gun barrels, the first round of salvos began.
"Boom boom boom........"
The shells whistled out.
The artillery positions were filled with smoke, dust covered the sky, and the sound of the artillery sounded like thunder.
At this moment, the Japanese artillery positions were still working hard to bombard the Erdaogou positions.
They were very satisfied with the damage caused by the shells.
It felt good to use long-range artillery fire to bully the Chinese.
"What is that?"
When someone saw a black dot flying overhead, he asked the question in his mind.
However, the black dot soon answered his question.
"Shells........"
"boom...boom...boom......"
Shells began to fall densely, exploding in and around the artillery positions.
The power of 105mm shells is much greater than that of the Japanese 75mm shells.
The entire artillery position was filled with smoke, and the flames of the explosion almost enveloped the entire artillery position.
One of the four field guns was directly destroyed in this round of salvos, and another was overturned.
Since they did not build fortifications for the artillery, casualties were not small.
"What?"
This scene stunned Staff Officer Koizumi and the Japanese captain.
"Aren't the Chinese a small force? How come they have so many heavy artillery pieces?"
Faced with the captain's question, Staff Officer Koizumi was also confused at the moment.
"Zhang Hanqing, it must be Zhang Hanqing's troops coming, move the artillery immediately.
You immediately organize the troops to attack.
The Chinese are weak in combat and cannot stop the attack of the imperial warriors."
Then Koizumi made another decision.
"Immediately send a telegram to the brigade and division headquarters, saying that the main force of the Northeast Army has appeared in Chengde.
The Japanese battalion commander also thought so.
Even if there are tens of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers on the opposite side, so what? They have fought before.
"Kill......"
The Japanese army launched a general attack on the Erdaogou position under the cover of infantry guns, mortars and grenade launchers.
Two squads of Japanese troops attacked from the flank.
"Let the mortars focus on the enemy's grenade launchers."
The Japanese grenade launchers were very accurate and posed a great threat to the position.
When the Japanese army entered the front of the position about 200 meters, explosions sounded one after another.
The minefield buried in front of the position began to work.
This was also the signal to open fire.
"Hit me!"
"Da da da......."
"Bang..Bang...boom....."
Rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns all opened fire.
Suddenly, dense bullets poured out from the positions, attacking the Japanese attacking troops like a rainstorm.
The Japanese troops in the front fell like wheat being cut.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the rear continued to charge forward without fear.
However, the Japanese army did not charge mindlessly.
The troops in the rear continued to fire to cover the attack of the troops in the front.
Their accurate shooting skills still caused some casualties to the first battalion.
"Let the second and third artillery companies provide cover fire, while the first artillery company continues to focus on the enemy's artillery."
The Japanese army's massive attack still put a lot of pressure on the position.
When the artillery began to aim at the attacking Japanese soldiers, shells began to fall into the crowd.
The MG34 general-purpose machine gun also played a huge role at this time.
The extremely high rate of fire, coupled with the machine gunner's precise bursts of fire, swept the approaching Japanese soldiers to the ground.
Looking at the situation in front of the position at this moment, Jiang Fan was relieved.
Although the Japanese attack was sharp, it could not pose a threat to the position.
"You stay here and watch."
After leaving Erdaogou, Jiang Fan went straight to the base.
He wanted to go back and prepare a trump card.
A trump card that could destroy this Japanese brigade.
In the base hall, the interface of the armored factory came into view.
The patterns of tanks were clearly presented in front of him.
Finally, Jiang Fan's eyes were fixed on a tank.
BT-7 Fast tanks.
For the current terrain of Chengde, the bigger the tank, the better.
Even if he is given a Tiger or Panther tank, he can't drive it here.
On the contrary, a light tank like BT-7 is the best choice for him.
BT-The 7-speed tank has a combat weight of 14 tons and a maximum speed of 73 kilometers per hour.
It is equipped with a 45mm tank gun and two 7.62mm machine guns.
Although the armor is very weak, the thickest part is only 22mm.
However, for the Japanese who lack anti-tank weapons and large-caliber heavy machine guns,
BT-7 Tanks are iron bastards.
The most important thing is that this thing is cheap.
One tank only costs 500 funds.
Today's 9000 funds, in addition to replenishing the losses of the troops, are all used to build a tank unit.
Only with tanks can we easily destroy this Japanese brigade.
