The Eighth Column Artillery Division arrived at the Taiyuan Theater, and the morale of all participating troops immediately rose.
The general forward refers to the partial modification of the prepared combat plan based on the improved status of firepower.
Some strategic points that were originally unable to be attacked head-on can now be covered with firepower and then directly swept away without the need for roundabout operations from the periphery.
The fortress on the top of the mountain is the greatest threat to the infantry.
If the heavy artillery can kill all the infantry one by one, it can be taken down quickly and at a very small cost.
ĄĄĄĄ
March 27, 1946, Yulinping.
"Tianlang, today we will attack Yulinping first to let your 1st Artillery Division get used to it. There is about a regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army here. We shouldn't need heavy artillery. We can just support it with medium-caliber artillery. Save ammunition. There will be a big event later. "
The atmosphere in the combat command room was not very tense. The intensity of the battle must have gradually increased, and the initial peripheral operations should be easily won.
"Well don't be too economical. Although there are not many large artillery shells, you can often capture them if you shoot medium-caliber ones casually."
Fang Tianlang smiled, grabbed the phone and connected to the 1st Artillery Division command center.
"Two hundred 75mm artillery shells, fifty 105mm artillery shells, and thirty 150mm artillery shells, target Yulinping, fire quickly! Level all positions!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Less than a minute after Fang Tianlang put down the phone, there was a faint sound of explosions in the distance.
Aiming at a peripheral target area and releasing two hundred and eighty artillery shells is just a small test. First, see the opponent's reaction, and then you can get closer and use heavy mortars or self-propelled artillery for follow-up fire.
There was silence in the combat command room, and the commanders waited silently for the report of the war situation.
After the heavy firepower is projected, there should be extended firepower from small-caliber artillery and machine gun fire. It shouldn't be too difficult to break through the opponent's defense, but no one can say for sure how long it will take.
After the minute hand passed half a circle, the phone rang, and the combat staff picked up the phone to receive the latest war situation report.
"Report, Yulinping has been captured."
"So fast?!"
The chief looked at the time and nodded slightly to Fang Tianlang.
"Heavy artillery is easy to use! It seems that the Jinsui Army can't bear it! Thanks to the 1st Artillery Division for its support! We took down a peripheral position in half an hour! Very good!"
Applause rang out in the combat command room, and the commanders immediately became busy, creating a gap and then pushing forward to continue, letting the heavy artillery follow closely behind and directly call for fire reinforcements if they encounter any obstacles.
"Attack the following positions, Heituo, Shirenliang, and Dayaotou, and destroy all bunkers. Use large-caliber artillery shells for large bunkers; use medium-caliber artillery shells for small bunkers. No counterattack firepower is allowed from any bunker!"
"Cooperate with two self-propelled artillery in each direction. When encountering fire counterattack, fire at close range immediately and execute the order!"
Fang Tianlang gave the order to continue the bombardment, and there was another faint explosion in the distance.
Ą°Chief, IĄŻm going to take a look at the position. If you need anything, call me directly!Ą±
"Okay! Pay attention to safety!"
Rows of artillery shells roared past the sky, and the ground kept beating. After each salvo, the First Artillery Division would wait for the detonation smoke to disperse and then aim at the bunkers that had not been blown up and continue firing artillery shells.
Five or six artillery shells can destroy a target, which is a very good strike effect. The densely packed bunkers and various fortifications in front of you will definitely kill many charging soldiers if you don't sweep them with thousands of artillery shells.
There is no need to worry about the consumption of artillery shells. Even if all the 150mm caliber artillery shells in the storage space are emptied, other caliber artillery can be moved out to continue to provide fire support.
Smoke and dust rose up, and the soldiers of the Jinsui Army showed frightened expressions amidst the roar.
The expected communist army should never have such terrifying strike firepower. When a row of artillery shells hit a defensive position, dozens of craters would immediately appear, and the most important bunkers in the defensive position would also be heavily bombarded.
Unexpectedly, the opponent who was expected to only have small-caliber mortars could actually lift up the ground and destroy all defenses.
"Boom!"
A 150mm high-explosive grenade bombarded a red brick bunker. The entire bunker collapsed completely in one second, crushing all six soldiers from the two machine gun teams inside into blurred corpses.
If there is no heavy artillery bombardment, then a machine gun bunker can fire at least three to four thousand bullets, and perhaps an infantry squad will be shot mercilessly.?Maybe even a platoon can't get through.
"Boom! Boom!"
More shells rained down.
The 1st Artillery Division raised two sets of Japanese-made "reconnaissance balloons" to provide correction of the impact point of artillery shells.
Fire observers constantly report the impact point of artillery shells at an altitude of 100 meters, so that the fired artillery shells can fall within the target area to the greatest extent, and no matter how many bunkers are in front of them, they will be blown to pieces.
The overwhelming power displayed on the first day of the offensive operation can definitely make some Shanxi-Sui Army soldiers collapse their psychological defenses and quietly give up resistance.
"Report! One of the enemy's reinforcements is approaching Shirenliang from the southwest!"
"Smash a hundred 75mm artillery shells! Tell the infantry that we will blast them first, and they will charge after we blast them!"
"yes!"
Fang Tianlang was lying on a large map, shouting numbers continuously.
Firepower requests from the frontier will be responded to in a timely manner within a few seconds. When encountering enemy reinforcements, they will be bombarded by at least a hundred medium-caliber artillery shells. The infantry at the frontier will become relaxed as they continue to receive supporting firepower.
"Boom! Boom!"
The coordinate data was quickly issued, and the shells roared out and exploded into misty fireworks in the distance.
A company equipped with twelve Type 41 75mm mountain guns fired a hundred high-explosive grenades according to the designated coordinates within two minutes.
The fireworks gradually dispersed, and broken corpses were scattered on the ground.
The two infantry battalions sent by the temporary 44th Division of the Jinsui Army for reinforcements were severely suppressed by intensive artillery fire and instantly suffered more than 270 casualties. They were still one kilometer away from the position that needed reinforcements, but the number of casualties already exceeded one-third of the total strength. .
It is unimaginable that we are facing a "mud-legged force" that could not get enough rifles a year ago. Even if it were to fight against the most elite divisions of the Japanese army, it would not be such a tragic scene.
"How is it?! Is there still a Jinsui Army?"
"More?! I'll fire fifty more! It's okay! It's okay! There are enough shells! Wait! Don't charge! You don't move again after one minute!"
"The coordinates just now! Shoot quickly! Fifty!"
Fang Tianlang put down the phone and waved his hand. The commander next to him immediately gave the order to continue shooting.
Dense shells fell again, and sharp shrapnel shot in all directions.
The soldiers of the Jinsui Army who had just been covered by a hundred artillery shells suffered another violent explosion less than two minutes later. More than a hundred soldiers were directly blown away and there were 70 or 80 more wounded. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
