Chapter 248 We can’t eat all the meat, we have to leave some for others! 3-word chapter!
"Damn it, the Japs have learned their lesson. They're planning to advance steadily and adopt a strategy of nibbling away at our advantage step by step. The Japs commander on the opposite side is really a tough character. He has recovered from the shadow of failure so quickly and has come up with such a ruthless trick. He's really a tough opponent to deal with!" Li Yunlong cursed.
Shen Quan said, "Commander, the Japanese not only built simple fortifications with sandbags, but also dug the earth. The Japanese will not think of digging earth pits and digging towards our positions little by little. If this is the case, we really don't have a good way to deal with the Japanese. Commander, you have to make a decision quickly!"
Even Zhang Dashan followed suit and said, "Captain, the Japanese used the same card we used against the Yamazaki Battalion before. If we let the Japanese succeed, our independent regiment will be in real danger!"
Li Yunlong replied nonchalantly: "Damn it, the Japanese have a nice idea, but I and the college students have long been prepared for this. 200 meters away from the position, I have poured a lot of fuel underground in advance. If the Japanese can really dig there, it can save us a lot of effort. I even hid some explosives in it. If the Japanese dare to dig there, I guarantee that they will be in big trouble!"
"The reason why the Japanese haven't launched an attack yet is mainly because the fighter planes in the sky have not yet decided the outcome with our air defense forces. In addition, the Japanese heavy artillery is also fighting a decisive battle with the college students. The Japanese infantry can only watch the show from the sidelines when they encounter our steel fortifications. Otherwise, relying on the weapons in their hands, even if they suffer huge casualties, they may not be able to reach our positions. We can't be idle at this time. Concentrate all our light machine guns for me to help the anti-aircraft machine gun company and guard the sky above the position. We must not let the Japanese dive bombers drop bombs!"
Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, hundreds of Czech light machine guns were pointed at the sky. As long as the little devil's fighters dared to come, they would be resolutely shot down! However, the development of things was beyond Li Yunlong's expectations. The losses of the air defense forces were increasing rapidly. Although the devil's Zero fighters were shot down from time to time, the little devil's fighter planes had firmly occupied the advantage. The casualties of the two companies of the air defense forces had exceeded half, and only one company was left struggling to support.
Sanwazi had no other options but to fight a bloody battle with the Japanese to reverse the situation. However, when manpower was exhausted, as more and more air defense gaps appeared, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions were directly exposed to the Japanese firepower, and the two sides began a final desperate fight. However, the Japanese Zero fighters had a very good low-altitude penetration capability, and moving targets were very difficult to lock onto, which caused a sharp increase in casualties among the anti-aircraft company's soldiers.
Now even if they wanted to withdraw from the battle, they couldn't, because the Japanese had already suppressed them. The only thing they could do was to fight desperately with the Japanese and shoot down a few more Japanese fighter planes. There was no other way.
Compared to Sanwaizi, Lin Zhenhua's situation is much better. In the confrontation with the Japanese heavy artillery, he has already gained a slight advantage and is increasing his firepower output to consolidate his current advantage. Now he simply cannot get away. Once he leaves, the current advantage will be lost directly, and he will also lose the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese heavy artillery unit. He is now unable to split himself and cannot support the anti-aircraft company at all.
"Comrades, continue to increase the firepower output. Use two guns to keep a close eye on the enemy's one gun, and load all of them with explosive shells. Since the Japanese want to fight us to the death, let's show them that our heavy artillery battalion is no pushover. This time we have to destroy all of the Japanese's heavy artillery. Without the support of heavy artillery, I want to see what the Japanese can use to attack our defensive positions!"
In order to eliminate the Japanese heavy artillery unit as soon as possible to avoid any changes, Lin Zhenhua decided to use this window of time that Sanwazi had fought hard for him and he must not waste it.
Through the artillery sighting equipment, watching the heavy artillery of the Japanese being destroyed one by one, Lin Zhenhua finally showed a smile. But Lin Zhenhua's opponent, Adjutant Noda, was not happy. He had more than a dozen artillery pieces, but now only six were left, which was a loss of 7%. The heavy artillery was also firmly suppressed by Lin Zhenhua, which made him want to retreat and save the remaining six artillery pieces. When he had this idea in his mind, it immediately occupied his whole heart.
"Order the four 105mm heavy artillery to increase firepower and cover the withdrawal of the two 150mm howitzers!"
Adjutant Noda was stopped by Colonel Miyata just as he was about to finish his order. When he wanted to argue, he was stopped by Colonel Miyamoto with a stern look.
"Noda, our heavy artillery cannot be withdrawn now. Put away those little thoughts in your mind. Now is the moment of decisive battle. Whoever dares to retreat must be prepared to be annihilated! We have six heavy artillery. Even if we exchange two for one, it will not be a loss for us. But if we retreat now, it is very likely that we will not be able to destroy even one heavy artillery of the Chinese army, and all our heavy artillery will be lost. Don't think I am exaggerating. What I said is just the facts."
"The weight difference between large-caliber heavy artillery and small-caliber mountain artillery is too big. Even if we want to move, it will take a lot of time. What's more, our four 105mm heavy artillery can't suppress the enemy's heavy artillery firepower at all. Such a stupid thing must not be done! At this time, we can only fight the Chinese artillery to the end!"
Adjutant Noda knew that what Colonel Miyata said was true and that he had indeed taken things for granted. He withdrew the previous order and ordered the heavy artillery unit to fight back with all their might and fight the enemy's artillery to the death!
The artillery confrontation and the airfield confrontation came at the same time. Sanwazi and Lin Zhenhua both put in their best efforts. Adjutant Noda and Major General Fujita were no exception. Both sides used their last bit of strength. For a moment, the battle fell into a stalemate, but it was soon broken.
After losing a total of two Type 12 bombers and Zero fighters, Major General Fujita gained an overwhelming advantage in air firepower. More than % of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the two air defense units commanded by Sanwazi were destroyed, and only a few sporadic anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were still firing into the air.
After seeing this situation in the command center, Li Yunlong immediately called the air defense position and ordered the soldiers of the air defense company to abandon all air defense weapons and hide in the air-raid shelter.
"Sanwazi, it's not easy for me to train an artilleryman. Don't stay on the battlefield like an idiot. Keep fighting the devils. You are no longer qualified to fight the devils. We will take care of the rest. You should hurry up and rescue the wounded and send them to the medical company for treatment!"
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong hung up the phone. His eyes were fixed on the First Artillery Company. From time to time, he picked up the telescope to look at the Japanese heavy artillery positions. Now the heavy artillery decisive battle between the two sides has reached the final moment. The Japanese were left with only two 150mm cannon howitzers. At this time, the 105mm heavy artillery of the First Artillery Company was no longer useful. Lin Zhenhua directly mobilized 120mm and 150mm heavy artillery and the last inventory of extended-range artillery shells to bombard the last two heavy artillery of the Japanese.
"Comrades, we must destroy the last two heavy artillery pieces of the Japs before their bombers drop their bombs. Only in this way can we truly have no worries. No matter how powerful the Japs' bombers are, they can't destroy all our fortifications. Without the heavy artillery as an offensive weapon, the Japs won't be able to chew through our steel fortifications!"
While Lin Zhenhua was encouraging the soldiers, his eyes were still fixed on the landing point of the shells. When he found that the ammunition point was a little far away, he immediately made the final ballistic correction. At this time, the Japanese bombers also completed the turn, and more than 20 fighter planes also swooped down to interfere with Lin Zhenhua's command.
The closer it got to the final moment, the less nervous Lin Zhenhua became. He fired two rounds of artillery fire in succession, completing the final fire coverage of the two Japanese heavy artillery. Before Lin Zhenhua could check the results, the Japanese fighter planes fired dozens or even hundreds of shells. Lin Zhenhua was so scared that he quickly hid in the artillery position. When he left, he forgot to bring back the artillery aiming equipment. As a result, one of the Japanese shells hit the artillery aiming equipment directly, completely destroying it.
Lin Zhenhua didn't care about the pain, and immediately picked up Bo Zhong's telescope and looked at the enemy's heavy artillery position. He was relieved when he saw that the two heavy artillery of the enemy had completely stopped firing. After working for an hour, he finally killed the enemy's heavy artillery and eliminated this huge threat. The only threat to the independent regiment was the enemy's bomber group. He didn't have any good solution for this at the moment, so he could only take it one step at a time. For him, it was not easy to complete one goal, and he didn't dare to hope to complete two!
As the Japanese heavy artillery units were completely wiped out, the soldiers of the first artillery company quickly withdrew from their positions. This was because the Japanese bombers were already overhead, and if they didn't hide quickly, they would likely suffer heavy losses.
"Comrades, hurry up! We have already dealt with the enemy's heavy artillery. Our mission is complete and we can take a good rest! Next, it's the turn of the Second Artillery Company. We can't eat all the meat. We have to leave some for other comrades!"
Li Yunlong was going to praise Lin Zhenhua, but he was too busy to do anything else. After finding a favorable opportunity, Junichiro Hatoyama immediately ordered two battalions of infantry to press forward and attack the front position of the independent regiment. Li Yunlong originally planned to let the soldiers of the second and fourth battalions go back to hide and wait for the Japanese bombers to leave before entering the position.
"Brothers, fight hard for me. Don't let the Japanese get close to our position. We have steel fortifications blocking us. Their heavy artillery has been destroyed. Even if they drop bombs from below, we don't have to be afraid. As long as we can withstand the explosion of their bombs, they will never be able to capture our position no matter how hard they try! Don't forget that we still have anti-aircraft firepower on our position. As long as the Japanese fly higher, it will be very difficult for them to drop bombs right on our heads!"
