Horses are fast runners, and although the horses of these pack howitzers are not war horses specifically for combat, they can run much faster than human legs and feet.
It is about ten miles from Zhang Ercheng to Zhai Daping's side, and if there were no horses, even if these thirty artillery brothers were all good long-distance runners, it would take half an hour to arrive, and they would have to be tired and half dead.
It's easy now, and he immediately rushed to Zhai Daping's side in more than ten minutes, making Zhai Daping and those brothers who were sweating profusely and tinkering with devil cannons happy.
Zhai Daping shouted: "Brothers, you came just in time, we don't understand these things of the little devils, and now that you experts are here, those devils in front of you have to suffer."
Thirty artillery brothers, under the leadership of a company of battles, didn't care about greeting Zhai Daping and them, and when they saw the devil howitzers parked on the position, their eyes were like seeing beautiful girls with gold and silver treasures.
The artillery soon took place, and the professional and technical personnel were different, which couldn't help but be admired by Zhai Daping and the brothers of the special service battalion.
I saw that those devil howitzers that they couldn't figure out for a long time had become so easy to operate in the hands of these artillery brothers, and after a while, those devil's howitzers had already adjusted the shelling angle with all their brushes, finished loading, and were waiting for the company commander to come down and fire.
The brothers of the special service battalion are usually elites in the independent brigade, and they are professionals who specialize in reconnaissance and intelligence, touch the devil's battalion, and catch devil prisoners.
This time, after watching the process of these artillerymen having to operate on the spot, they were completely convinced, not orally, but convincingly: it turned out that it was not easy to do any line of work, and they could produce talents.
Just when Zhai Daping was convinced and full of emotion, the artillery company commander had already given the artillery order.
I only heard a loud noise one after another, and the seven or eight howitzers on the devil's position opened fire, and the artillery fire mixed with gunpowder smoke sprayed out from the barrels, flying towards the devil tanks and armored vehicles of the national army that were frantically rushing up like a tide of shells and machine guns, and exploded there one after another, blowing up smoke and flames that rushed into the sky.
Zhai Daping turned into an idler at this time, he hurriedly looked at the devil with a telescope, and saw that the steel barrier formed by the devil tank and the armored vehicle had been completely covered by the smoke generated by the explosion of the shell, and the devil tank was full of burning flames and billowing gunsmoke.
"Now the little devils have enough to drink a pot, but they can't kill them, and this cannonball has to be crippled and scrapped by these bitches."
Zhai Daping muttered excitedly.
As soon as the cannon sounded, the fat man who was desperately charging up with his head covered was very happy, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw those annoying devil tanks and armored vehicles covered in the thick smoke from the explosion of the shells.
"The brothers' special battalion has taken control of the devil's artillery position, and has blown up the devil's tanks and everything, and now we are rushing forward, and there is nothing to stop it" When the remaining five or six hundred brothers in the regiment heard that the tanks and armored vehicles of the devils in front of them had been blown up by shells, they immediately cheered up, no longer flinched, and rushed desperately towards the devils with shouts.
The three or four thousand soldiers of the National Army led by Gao Xiangfa and Ge Sanmin in the back were also inspired by the bombing of the devil's tank and armored vehicle in front, and they all shouted and pressed towards the devil in front.
Zhai Daping saw from the telescope that the main force of his troops had been dispatched, and felt that it was not the same thing for the special service battalion to stay here and watch the excitement, so he hurriedly left a company of troops to focus on protecting the artillery brothers who were desperately firing, and he took the remaining 700 brothers to rush behind the devil with a shout.
At this time, the three thousand devils fell into the three-sided attack of the five thousand men and horses of the independent brigade, and they were temporarily at a disadvantage in numbers, but these little devils did not show a trace of panic, and under the command of the leader of the devil wing, they used the tanks and armored vehicles that were not blown up by the artillery to quickly form a defensive barrier.
The outermost layer is the defensive barrier that has not been blown up by the artillery, the second layer is a firepower network composed of heavy machine guns and light machine guns and other continuous firepower weapons, and the third layer is a defensive position composed of infantry, forming an angle with each other, and the fire is cross-covered, leaving no design blind spots, and all sides can resist the tidal wave of attacks from Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu saw the rapid change of formation of this devil unit from the back binoculars, although he hated the cruelty and atrocities of these little devils, but at this time, as a battlefield opponent, he deeply admired the combat command level of this devil wing leader.
Being able to complete the rapid formation change of so many people in such a short period of time and continue to train for a long time.
To be honest, if this kind of work is done by the independent brigade, Zhou Wu may not be able to guarantee that it will be completed smoothly, and if the coordination between the various units is not smooth, it is possible to make a big mess, and the little devil is too powerful.
But the devil is powerful, since the independent brigade has been fully dispatched, there is no turning back from the bow, and now there is no turning back from this situation.
Zhou Wuyi didn't stop doing anything, anyway, he was already out of the way, so he gritted his teeth and ordered the independent brigade headquarters and other quartermasters and other non-combatants to distribute weapons and ammunition except for the medical company, which needed to treat the wounded, and prepare for battle, ready to launch a final general attack on the devils at the most critical time.
It seems that Zhou Wu is really anxious, this is the first time he has fought an uncertain dangerous battle since he fought the little devil, when he was in Luodian in Shanghai before, even when he was about to be broken through by the devil at the most dangerous time, he had not hesitated and worried as now, but in this Shitang Town, for some reason, Zhou Wu felt more and more powerless, and his future was bleak.
Especially for the battle in front of him, he didn't have the confidence to win indomitably before, but was a little cringe, hesitating, what caused the change in Zhou Wu's psychology, Zhou Wu himself couldn't figure it out.
In addition to the objective factors of the defeat of the national army on the battlefield in the past few days, and the continuous retreat of the battle, Zhou Wu's soldiers on hand are getting fewer and fewer, and they have not been replenished.
In Zhou Wu's opinion, this bad situation will continue to deteriorate, although he is a little prepared in his heart, but the situation deteriorates so quickly is something he did not expect in advance, even if he thought of it, he could not do anything.
As a mid-level officer who worked desperately on the battlefield, he could do and do nothing other than try to complete the mission and save his troops as much as possible Sometimes, Zhou Wu really wanted to give up, take his wife and children, and his parents away from this bloody and war-torn place, but as soon as this thought was formed in his mind, it was interrupted by his father's stern reprimand and Xiuying's sad and disdainful gaze.
If he leaves, he can certainly save his life and that of his family, but Zhou Wu, who has always been loyal to the country and the lessons of his father and division commander for a long time, does not dare and cannot step out of this red line.
Once he did it, he was relaxed, but the eternal infamy on his back could never be washed away, and he was drowned by the people of the world with spittle stars, it was better to puff up his chest and do his duty as a soldier without hesitation, although he died without regrets.
The battle on the front line is still deadlocked, although the fat man, Ge Sanmin and Zhai Daping launched attacks in turns, they were all repelled by the little devils relying on layers of defensive firepower, not only failed to advance much distance, but killed and injured many brothers.
The field hospital temporarily set up by the medical company behind the position was bustling, scolding, and moaning, and even Captain Shen, who had always been calm and composed, felt a little hurried and at a loss at this time. t1706231537:
