Chapter 496 Transformation

(... When everyone in the general likes cannons, but some weapons are better than cannons in specific combat environments; after my group of scopes and shotguns arrived at the Forty-Fourth Army, the enemy-occupied areas, including the gate of Nanjing, would never have peace... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

"Onboard!..." The exhausted Japanese launched another decisive attack on the ** position. This is the fifth trip!

Although the First Field Army seized a lot of Japanese weapons in the battle, their equipment was far worse than that of the 187th Division. The seized weapons were also equipped with ammunition for various reasons. Some weapons were full of ammunition, but some weapons could only be used once or twice. For example, the four 37mm rapid-fire cannons seized by the Japanese were only three shells!

The 187th Division can defeat the enemy head-on by taking the initiative to attack, but the First Field Army cannot do it. They can only consume the enemy through ambushing the Japanese's decisive attack.

"Tengteng! Tengteng!... Ce Ce! Ce Ce Ce!..." The boring Min-24 and Type 92 heavy machine guns were almost firing at the spot; the Japanese, whose movement rhythm had been slowed down by several attacks, kept falling down all the way, but continued to move to the ** position, giving people the feeling that the Japanese army was slaughtering the ** machine gunners!

However, the officers and soldiers on the position knew that this was not the case. When the Japanese approached, they would launch a charge, and the grenade launcher behind them would open fire on a certain position. As long as the Japanese attacked on a certain position, the brothers on that position would suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, the troops of the Japanese opened fire at a distance that could not get up, and tried their best to eliminate more enemies before they launched the charge.

"Oh no! The enemy's plane!...I'll hold on to it. No matter whether it's a knife or a bomb, you're not allowed to take a step back!" The commanders in the trench had already seen the Japanese aircraft group. They knew that they were going to have a hundred miles of blood this time...

"Our plane!..." Suddenly, the soldiers in the trench began to cheer, and their screams immediately suppressed the Japanese cheers that had just sounded.

The plane was like the morale of both sides. When they saw the Chinese aircraft group also appeared, the Japanese attacking were suddenly stunned. They were silent and stood still, but suddenly they rushed up with "onboard" shouts in unison...

"Tengtengtengtengtengteng!..." Heavy machine guns changed from point shooting to strafing, and many previously hidden machine guns also opened fire at the same time. Although the seized Type 92 and Type 96 machine guns were not as fierce as the Min-24, so many machine guns suddenly shot together, and the fierce fire net instantly knocked the first wave of the Japanese offensive... "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." The Japanese grenade launcher also opened fire, and the ** position began to become smoke...

"Report to the commander, the Japanese in Wuhu have been dispatched, and about a brigade is coming towards us..." Cai Yufu frowned when he heard the news. The Japanese in Wuhu belonged to the 13th Division and were a relatively tenacious one. There were not many troops gathered in this area. It was not easy to send one on the plain according to equipment and tactical qualities to block the opponent.

"Tell the 'machete' and let him hold on for two hours no matter what! In addition, ask the General Affairs Corps to see where they were and let them reinforce the "machete" troops as soon as possible; I will definitely take advantage of this 119th Division!" Cai Yufu also became ruthless: If the 187th Division peeled the Japanese a few layers of skin and couldn't eat all the enemies, that would be too sorry to Xing Long!

The General Affairs Regiment is actually a logistics and supplies unit. Because they were ordered to receive a batch of special supplies in this area, Xie Zhong, commander of the Northern Jiangsu Army and the military and political director of the 44th Army, personally led the team. Xie Zhong, who was born in the martial arts world, was very skilled in handling logistics work, but he was always not good at commanding when fighting. He often became an audience or company commander while fighting, and only paid attention to the most intense fighting line and did not think of solutions according to the situation. So now he has become the butler of the 44th Army and the representative of the local garrison military.

Good guy, I'm going to the battlefield too! Xie Zhong doesn't know how to command but he is not timid. He is a veteran who followed Cao Xiaomin from outside Nanjing to fight many bloody battles in Nanjing! After receiving Cai Yufu's order, Xie Zhong hurriedly led his troops to the northwest...

"The front-line troops retreated to the second line of defense, and the reserve team was ready to launch a counterattack!" "Shan Er" stared at the Japanese in the second line of positions. It was obvious that the Japanese in the 119th Division were almost exhausted. At this time, as long as the first line of positions were given to them, the Japanese had to occupy first and let the entire army follow this road. At that time, it was time for the First Field Army to counterattack on the whole line!

"Team Chief Chen, Commander Cai asked you when the battle can be resolved. The 13th Japanese Division came over later..." The correspondent looked at "Shan Er" and waited for the reply.

"It's soon, it's soon, let them hold on to me. The Japanese should have the last blow this time. Let them fight back in the whole line in a while!" After answering, "Shan Er" couldn't help but look back at the north side, which was the direction the Japanese were coming...

"Boom rumble!" In that direction, the earth-shaking sound of cannons suddenly came. From so far, the cannons sounded cracked, but it could be heard that it was a continuous explosion! Not long after, mushroom clouds covering the sky in the north actually rose... Oh no! The First Field Army did not have so many cannons! "Single Ear" was anxious...

"God, who is shooting artillery?" Xie Zhong ran away with his troops so angry that he almost broke down. In the telescope, he saw the "machete" troops fighting with the enemy, but suddenly the overwhelming heavy shells landed on the enemy's position!

No matter who he is fighting, even if the enemy attacks by mistake, he will have to go to the situation! Xie Zhong will not fight, but he will fight to death! Like many brothers who followed Cao Xiaomin to kill the Yangtze River, Xie Zhong did not know how to calculate the mechanism like Xing Long and would not be as sure as Li Tianhao, but he would fight to the death!

"Brothers, cover it from the side, charge when you get close. Even if the cannons do not stop, you have to rush over and fight against the Japanese!" A logistics unit of Xie Zhong's regiment actually regarded himself as the main combat unit, and they rushed towards the Japanese with great momentum...

"Crash!" The troops led by the "Machete" have already launched a charge. Like Xie Zhong, he will never retreat when he should fight. Like Xie Zhong's troops, he doesn't know who the sacred sect launched such a violent artillery attack on the Japanese. He also thought it was an enemy's accidental attack, so he must seize the opportunity!

The Chinese Navy launched the artillery attack on the Japanese. An Qibang led four shallow water gunboats and actually drove into the inland river!

Originally, their mission was to transport a batch of equipment to the First Field Army, but they had just received a signal from the Air Force that a large number of Japanese soldiers were fighting with friendly troops on the way. OK, such an opportunity must not be missed! An Qibang quickly asked the Air Force to assist in the positioning. After half an hour of fighting with the Japanese, the artillery fire was ready to be completed and started a violent naval gun attack on the Japanese army!

The 13th Division's Japanese troops were no longer the 13th Division. They were repaired miserably by the 187th Division in Wuhu. Now this brigade is already the maximum force that Wuhu can do. When they were suddenly attacked by naval guns, the entire army was immediately in a mess. When they saw ** rushing up desperately in the smoke, many Japanese troops who were originally lying on the ground jumped up and fled in panic regardless of the artillery fire!

It's not so good for a long time! Xie Zhong and "Mackerel" both had this feeling. After they found that after they launched a charge, the artillery fire that was bombarding the Japanese actually extended to the Japanese rear team. It was really a support for friendly artillery fire! They began to chase after them in vain. The two ** troops unexpectedly wiped out the brigade of the 13th Division with the support of naval guns!

"These are the supplies that Chief Cao asked us to transport to your department. Please order..." An Qibang delivered a batch of supplies to Xie Zhong.

There are not many supplies, fewer guns and cannons, mainly ammunition; but the most important thing is three thousand pairs of scopes!

The Northern Jiangsu Army was still mainly guerrilla. Suddenly there were so many scopes. This was not an ordinary battle against sparrows; using sniper rifles alone could make the Japanese unable to sleep or eat!

For example, when attacking a Japanese whistle, you don’t need to wear makeup or other close attacks. As long as a sniper patiently shoots more than 800 meters away from the enemy, you can wipe out the enemy completely! Good guy, no wonder I’ll let me take it personally... Xie Zhong was excited now. For the First Field Army, which is mainly based on guerrilla warfare, a sniper rifle can even play a role more than a cannon!

"There are also these, a batch of American gun models specially transported from Hong Kong. Even the main force was not equipped. When they came back, they seemed to have 100 guns. There were 80 guns for you alone..." An Qibang introduced that a group of trench gunmen around him began to take out the 80 Leimingden shotguns to explain the usage to Xie Zhong: "This kind of gun can still penetrate human skulls around a hundred meters, but gunmen need to undergo special training. After all, most officers and soldiers are used to firing at the enemy, but this kind of gun is best to fire in the gap between the enemies, make full use of its shotgun function, and strive to shoot one shot..."

Lei Mingden's shot ammunition is easy to manufacture, and it can be done by itself even under such harsh industrial conditions in northern Jiangsu. At most, it is to replace lead sand with iron sand.

With these equipment, the divisions of the northern Jiangsu Army were full of wings. I am afraid that after this battle, the Japanese army would never be able to recover their lost territory! Xie Zhong said to the group of shotgunmen: "Let's go, field test, go to the southern battlefield and go to the battlefield to see..."

After this time, the Northern Su Army was no longer ambushing troops by number. From this day on, the Japanese were not at peace even in the city they controlled. The Japanese on duty at the city gate or on the city tower could be shot at the head at any time!
