Phi-Fic Chapter 214: First Regiment Battle
Chapter 214: First Regiment Battle
Tang Guoping did not make any pre-war mobilization, but just told his men that after the Marshal returned from Nanjing, the first game would be handed over to us. If we don’t play well, you can only think about it yourself!
My brothers also understand that the first regiment of each brigade is usually the ace, and we now have to rely on this battle to establish the status of the ace.
"Report to the company commander, the artillery battery has arrived at the designated position and is ready to fire at any time."
On the battlefield, artillery has the highest status, so they also have the right of way. When they advance, other troops must make way. After all, on the battlefield, they can provide support to various troops. If their artillery is set up earlier, we can enjoy artillery support earlier.
"Wait for orders."
Tang Guoping said these four words calmly, but he was actually quite excited. It's not like he hasn't fought in wars before, and he has been present in many conflicts, but this is the first time he has led a regular army to fight.
I am a porter on the railway, but I can command a regiment of more than 2,000 people to attack the Japanese army. I never dared to dream of it before, so now I have to be cautious with every step. If I succeed, the road ahead will be smooth. If I fail, it will be like what the eldest brother said, the end of this regiment commander.
The artillery company of the first regiment emphasizes practicality. Except for two 75mm infantry guns, all other guns are mortars.
There were six 120mm mortars, six 100mm mortars, eight 80mm mortars, and twelve 60mm mortars.
There are a total of twenty-four large and small caliber artillery pieces.
"Inform all units to gather their artillery platoons to the regimental artillery battery."
Tang Guoping thought for more than a minute and immediately gave the order. Since the first round of artillery fire was going to be strong, all the artillery of the entire regiment should be concentrated together.
According to the organization of the 72nd Brigade, each infantry battalion has an artillery platoon with four 80mm mortars and six 60mm mortars.
The entire regiment's artillery totaled more than 40 mortars of various calibers, distributed across two artillery positions. The Japanese devils in the Fengtai military camp could never have imagined that a regiment could have so many artillery pieces.
The most important thing is that we have enough artillery shells, which has never happened on the Dragon Country mainland. Moreover, when the shelling begins, our army will not advance on foot. Heavy armored vehicles can block the Japanese machine guns. We can carry out assaults in heavy armored vehicles. No matter how well the Japanese positions are built, our armored vehicles are not vegetarians.
After our armored vehicles rushed in, the follow-up troops also rushed in immediately, and the overall situation was basically decided.
Of course, these are all what Tang Guoping thinks in his mind. Whether they can become a reality depends on how the brothers in the group fight.
"Prepare your guns."
The artillery company commander and deputy company commander belonged to two artillery positions respectively, and at this moment they both picked up their command microphones.
Each artillery piece was numbered, and one of the members carried a simple intercom. This was the earliest military operation to implement radio command, and it's probably unique in the world...
The artillery of Longguo and other countries in the world still have to follow the command of those small flags, but the 72nd Brigade no longer needs it. Each artillery piece has a firecracker, who is listening to the voice in the microphone and waiting for the first shell to be fired.
According to the above instructions, it doesn't matter how accurate your shots are, as long as you can get the general direction, and fire the shells behind you in a short time, your mission will be completed. If you can capture the Fengtai military camp, you will definitely be the first to achieve this...
"fire."
"fire."
After Tang Guoping gave the order, the artillery company commander and the deputy company commander gave orders at the same time, followed by a burst of noise from the two artillery positions.
"Adjust the shooting parameters."
Some artillery pieces were able to directly hit the Fengtai barracks, while others missed the target, so these people made quick adjustments.
In the distance, a group of soldiers were watching on armored vehicles. Our artillery was really powerful. In a short time, they threw more than 40 shells into the camp. From a distance, the Fengtai military camp instantly turned into a big fire scene.
The Japanese soldiers couldn't figure it out. Today was the same day as usual. Everyone was preparing to have dinner, but suddenly a large number of shells fell from the sky. Which unit was so brave?
Normally, these devils should be vigilant and frequently send patrols around, but because they have been stationed here for a long time, no one has come to provoke them. Moreover, they have set up several observation posts a few hundred meters outside the military camp and have not found anything wrong.
To put it bluntly, they were careless and thought that nothing had happened over the years. Those investigators who followed the army's requirements did not conduct investigations on schedule at all. They were just trying to save effort. Now I want you to pay the price together.
After the shelling began, the Japanese officer rushed out of his house and shouted loudly to the people around him, asking them to enter the anti-artillery cave immediately.
But the problem was that the shelling came too suddenly, and the surroundings were all filled with flames. The soldiers could not hear what the officers were shouting. They only saw the mouths of several officers moving, and then a shell fell, and these officers were also killed.
Fortunately, the people on the outer defense line were the second wave to be attacked. These people quickly entered the position. The Japanese built more than a dozen bunkers, both visible and hidden, around the Fengtai military camp, which could be regarded as a set of defense lines.
"These damn Dragon people actually dared to attack us. We must kill everyone around them and let them know the consequences of provoking us."
After the Japanese troops on the periphery entered the fortifications, they immediately began to shout wildly.
But when they touched the machine gun, they found that there was no one charging in front of them. What was going on?
According to their understanding, the artillery has begun to attack and the infantry should follow immediately, but where are the infantry in front of them?
Just as they were wondering, the shells had already begun to move from the center to the surrounding areas. It turned out that the enemy was going to launch a covering bombardment on them.
How is this possible? How many shells would it take? What can the Dragon Army do now that our Japanese army can't do? Their shells are all purchased from foreign countries. Although the Fengtai military camp is not big, it would take at least 2,000 shells to attack it...
