"One, two, three" "Help, brethren, hurry up" "Hold on to the wheels" The clear and powerful sound of the trumpet was heard on the dirt road 7 or 800 meters behind the command post of the 200th Division, and the teaching brigade that had completed a replenishment of troops was full of enthusiasm, and although the strength of more than 30 people was not much, the addition of new forces greatly improved the morale of the teaching brigade.
Each squadron was assigned a squad or so of the 99th Division soldiers, and these soldiers were assigned to supplement the vacancies of each squadron and each squad platoon, so that some infantry squads that had been empty were restored to their combat strength, and the fighting decisions and fighting confidence of the brothers in the teaching brigade were strengthened.
In the loud sound of the trumpet, Zhang Wei was commanding the soldiers of the teaching brigade to help the artillerymen transferred from the Fifth Army artillery group to pull the artillery, Division Commander Dai's efficiency was extremely high, and the speed of applying for artillery reinforcements made Zhang Wei dumbfounded, which can be called fast, and I don't know how to tell Commander Du that he actually asked for a company of mountain artillery and a company of field artillery from the army artillery group, and what was even more ruthless was that he also seconded a combat defense artillery company from the military combat defense artillery battalion, and Commander Du actually approved it.
At this time, he brought out the ability of three formed artillery companies, which surprised Zhang Wei again and again.
Now, what Zhang Wei is pulling with people is the Japanese-made Type 38 field artillery stuck in the mud, and the artillery firepower of the Fifth Army in this battle basically comes from the temporary reinforcement of various independent artillery units, and the source is relatively complicated.
The artillery of the mountain artillery company and the field artillery company in front of Zhang Wei, the uniforms and artillery equipment of the soldiers of the two companies are completely different, and they do not look like the artillery of the same formed unit at all.
The road behind the command post of the 200th Division was basically a mud road, and as soon as this batch of artillery came up, something went wrong, and the artillery company equipped with the 38th type field artillery was stuck in the mud, and the artillery could not come up for a while, and the alert troops of the command post of the 200th Division could not spare manpower for a while, so Zhang Wei had to bring the whole brigade of soldiers over to help.
"Brother, let your people push the cannon in the back," Zhang Wei shouted.
"Okay" Not far away, the company commander of the field artillery company replied.
As soon as the mountain artillery company, equipped with 75-mm Bofors mountain guns, had crossed the road and drove to the position where it was ready to be placed, the first gun of the field artillery company was stuck in the mud, and the first gun could not advance, which directly led to the obstruction of the march of the entire company.
A company of four artillery, as well as the attached artillery trucks, ammunition trucks, horse-drawn carriages, and the materials and accessories of the entire field artillery company, all of which were crossed on the road, could not advance, and the field artillery company did not push it out for a long time, after Zhang Wei saw it, he immediately took the whole brigade over to help, this will be the artillery that provides cover for himself during the attack, Zhang Wei of course has to be careful.
Qiu Wei, the squadron commander, now knows that the teaching brigade must fight, so they are also very active, and they are all working hard to help push the artillery.
Zhang Wei, Mu Chao, Zheng Yiqun and other brothers stepped on the mud, holding the iron-clad wooden wheels of the Type 38 field artillery, and through the black artillery jackets of the field artillery, they grasped the cold 75-mm barrel and artillery shield, as well as the severely worn artillery bolts, and some vague Japanese characters were engraved on the gun wheels and large shafts.
In the muddy ground in front of the artillery, Li Shaoyan led the officers and men of the teaching brigade to lay some planks and cut down trees to help the artillery pass.
These Type 38 field guns are all Japanese-made artillery, products of the Osaka Arsenal, this batch of artillery has been around for some years, and it is also interesting to use Japanese artillery to attack the Japanese.
The appearance is quite thick, this 38-type field cannon is basically equivalent to the imitation of the Krupp 1902 artillery, and the domestic Hanyang Arsenal, as well as the Northeast Arsenal and other manufacturers with the ability to make and assemble artillery have imitated it.
The Japanese-made 38 field artillery, the 38 improved field artillery, as well as the domestic imitation model and the German original model of the national army's equipment, these artillery pieces belong to the derivative imitation model of the German-style 1902 artillery, which accounts for a large proportion of the artillery equipment of the national army.
"One, two, up" As soon as the command sounded, the dozens of soldiers of the teaching brigade and the field artillery company who were waiting for this field artillery worked together to push the cannon forward, Qiu Wei commanded the horses in front to advance, the horses screamed a few times in pain, and the people pushing the cannon in the back also exerted their strength together.
Zhang Wei pushed the gun wheel vigorously, and the brothers who pushed the gun roared together, and the heavy 38 field gun wheel axle made an ugly friction sound, and the wheels crooked in the mud moved out of the mud little by little, and in the wailing sound of the horses, the gun wheel gradually increased its speed, stirring up a puddle of mud.
The gunboat turned to the preset plank, and in the end, with the strength of the plank and the gunner, the heavy 38 field artillery came out of the mud, and the entire field artillery company was able to continue to advance After the 38th Field Artillery Company was in place, it was commanded by the staff officer of the 200th Division, unloaded the artillery, took off the gun jackets, and went to the predetermined position, prepared to build a position, and set up a column to fire.
The huge artillery position, just more than 100 meters behind the command post of the 200th Division, four Bofors 75-mm mountain guns and four Type 38 75-mm field guns, all of which were lined up here, were full of artillery preparing for battle, and a few hundred meters apart, there were also 37-mm battle defense guns transferred from the four army battle defense artillery battalions, as well as several 82 mortars that were ready to be reinforced to the teaching brigade.
Mountain artillery, field artillery, battle defense artillery, mortars, the covering artillery fire and hardware conditions required by the teaching brigade before the attack are in full swing, and they are about to be prepared, just waiting for the coordination and order of the teaching brigade with the artillery before the attack, as well as the covering cooperation of the 200th Division, and the final attack is launched.
A mountain cannon, the artillery jacket of the field artillery was taken off and placed on the position, the dark artillery muzzle was raised by the artillery, slowly aimed at the Luotang Heights, a sharp blade, little by little hanging on the heads of the Japanese troops on the Luotang Heights, and even the Kunlun Pass garrison Japanese troops, quietly.
