Chapter 323 Katyusha rocket cannon

November 1, early morning.

A layer of mist was shattered by the sound of the army's footsteps. The Japanese Huang military uniforms slowly revealed in the rising dust.

The 116th Division began to cross the Yellow River early. There were 16th Division's support on the other side. Three floating bridges were built, and a large group of people quickly passed by and gathered in Lanfeng area.

The 13th Division lost more than 3,000 men in Xuzhou. The 104th Regiment was almost completely bombarded by the heavy artillery group outside Xuzhou City, and the mountain artillery team did not pull out a single goal. Although the loss was nearly half, the combat effectiveness of the 13th Division could not be underestimated. After passing Huangkou, they boarded the train that the 10th Division received and arrived in Shangqiu together.

Two men launched an attack on time when the sun just jumped out of the ground.

"The devils can't wait to come and die!" Hu Minghe said with a hearty smile.

Opposite his brigade was the 10th Division, which was old opponent, and they had lost their armor twice or three times. However, yesterday, the attacks of the new recruits of the 10th Division were surprised by him. The attacks at the cost of casualties were indeed very troublesome. The dense human wall formed by the Japanese, if there weren't many machine guns in the vanguard army, would have been pushed in front of them. But in the end, the metal barrage of cold bullets covered the human wall.

But today the Japanese have to arrange a wall of people again?

The Japanese gathered early in the morning at a place ten kilometers away, which was the limit of the firepower of the Pioneer Army. The artillery of about 75 mm can sometimes fall, but the accuracy deviation is much.

The first to start the duel was the Knight in the air.

More than 60 aircraft were taken off at the airports of Zhengzhou and Xinxiang, and more than a dozen were from Taiyuan. Their purpose was not to attack, but to restrain the aircraft of the Pioneer Army, so that the aircraft of the Pioneer Army could not participate in the attack on the ground. The Japanese were particularly sensitive to the screaming sound of the dive of the Pioneer Army aircraft. Whether it was cluster bombs or large-caliber machine guns of lightning, many Japanese were scared to wake up in the middle of the night.

For this attack, the Japanese Nanjing planes also ran to the southern battlefield to harass and restrain, minimizing the air strikes of the vanguard army to the greatest extent. Their aircraft had poor performance and could only restrain them.

As the Japanese advance step by step, the confrontation on the ground also began. The artillery of both sides fired each other, and the heavy artillery of the 10th Division did not add much, only three Type 92 105 cannons. The other 75 and 70 cannons were far from the opponents of the zis-3 cannons, but the Japanese artillery skills were indeed good. For a moment, both sides fought to the point of being equal.

"The people from the 13th Division are also coming up!" Hu Minghe's face became a little solemn after hearing the report of the investigators. When the 13th Division was in Nanjing, they had already fought with them. At that time, Hu Minghe's regiment was almost all sacrificed, and only he and Li Tiexia and dozens of people ran out with the help of the vanguard army.

"Today we will settle the accounts with you!" Hu Minghe said hatred. Meng Xiang's opinion on Meng Xiang's one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre was not to leave prisoners, and Hu Minghe was firmly implementing it.

The artillery fire broke out for a long time, and each suffered casualties.

A team of Japanese soldiers rushed up. Hu Minghe looked at it and couldn't help but curl his lips. The little man was the Japanese cannon fodder forward, who came specifically to test the firepower point.

But this move did not seem to have much effect on the vanguard army. Several large-caliber machine guns shot the cannon fodder into meat sauce.

After 10 seconds, there was an absolute tranquility on the entire position for a second. Only the still burning Japanese positions, the thick smoke kept rising from rising straight towards the empty sky.

"Ah!" A tragic howling sound on the Japanese position woke everyone up. Then the crying sound seemed to have just been released from the compression of the hot air, and it rang out on the Japanese position one after another.

"It's overwhelming! It's overwhelming! It's unstoppable, unstoppable!" Zhang Lingfu slowly lowered his wrist and murmured.

"Is this what the weird thing is coming out?" At the same time, Hu Heming also opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

"Shot thousands of arrows at once, can the soldiers run away? There is no place to hide. How can we fight when we encounter them in the future?" Hu Minghe also murmured to himself when he saw the flames and rolling smoke on the 10th Division position on the opposite side.

At the beginning, these cannons were in a top secret state, but Hu Minghe did not take this seemingly simple thing into consideration. But the thing he said that was like setting off fireworks was a winning fireworks party directly on the Japanese's position.

The remaining Japanese fled in scattered positions, and in order to avoid a round of attacks, they forgot their duties for a while.

"Stop, don't run around!" Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 10th Division, shouted loudly. The law enforcement team not far behind him shot more than a dozen soldiers who were obviously crazy in succession before controlling the scene.

The position on the Pioneer Army was quiet and did not take advantage of this attack. Even the Pioneer Army soldiers were immersed in the surprise of the violent bombardment just now. It was not like a human force. Only the rage of heaven would have such a bombardment that was shaking.

"Hurry up and treat the wounded!" Seeing that the soldiers' mood was slightly stable, Yoshio Shinozuka shouted.

"Do you want to cancel the operation?" said the Chief of Staff next to him, with a nervous expression.

Yoshio Shinozuka hesitated for a moment, looked at the soldiers who were crying out, but said nothing. Once the recruits were motivated, they were of great courage and ignored life and death, but once they were setbacks, they were easily depressed and eventually gave up on themselves. The fierce blow just now caused their faith to collapse in an instant.

"Can such a soldier still fight?" He heard a soldier with a broken leg crying loudly at his mother not far away, which made him feel irritated.

"What new weapon did the Pioneer Army use? What kind of artillery is this?" He kept guessing in his heart.

"This is called Blizzard! It's okay to call it a blizzard! We usually call it a swarm, and our ancestors called it that very early!" Xia Dayu explained to Hu Minghe on the side that, as the deputy commander of the rocket launcher, he was responsible for the launch of the rocket launcher on Hu Minghe's side.

"A swarm of bees? It's very similar, but the time is a little short, less than half a minute!" Hu Minghe shook his head with unsatisfactory feelings. If he had come so many times, without infantry assault, the Japanese would be left with only scum.

"Ten seconds! A volley takes only ten seconds!" Xia Dayu raised his right index finger and smiled.

"Ten seconds?" Qingshui, who personally pressed the front line, stood still and said nothing at this time, just ten seconds before, and the overwhelming explosion flames swallowed up all his team. After the fire was dimmed, there were broken corpses and soldiers crying out loud. How could he fight like this?

Fujie Keifu, who was also present in the battlefield, had only one thigh left. Such a cannon suddenly came. No one expected that he would disappear directly from the place where he stood. Many Japanese officers were standing outside, intending to witness the courage of the imperial soldiers with their own eyes. But the explosion of the earth and the mountain shaking had nowhere to hide.

But in these ten seconds, 200 Katyusha rocket launchers were shot out. Each brigade's position was arranged with one hundred Katyusha, that is, 6m-13 rocket launchers. A rocket launcher can fire 16 rockets with a diameter of 132 mm at a time. Within just ten seconds, a total of more than 3,000 rockets were fired.

This is a real rain of death bullets. When the explosion sounds around you, and the surroundings are full of fire like the end of the world. There is nowhere to be avoided. You can only watch the people around you fall down instantly, and no one will go crazy.

"Come on, load up, and have another round!" Since seeing the power of Katyusha's test firing, Deng Dayan suddenly fell in love with this new type of artillery, and came here with a stern face. Two hundred Katyushas need a lot of operators and need to be kept confidential. Almost all cloned artillery were concentrated here, but the personnel were still far from enough. For this reason, half of the artillery that operated the 200 heavy artillery there were temporarily transferred here last night. The subsequent logistics service staff were also filled with many new gunners and non-artillery personnel. After the emergency training, coupled with the support from the sub-base, today's volley was achieved.

As for the production of Katyusha rocket launchers, there is no need to worry about it, and Meng Xiang has been accumulating it for a long time.

Katyusha appeared in 33 years. Rocket launchers are generally only one-fifth to one-twentieth of the cost of artillery of the same caliber, and it is even cheaper to use the base to produce them. So Meng Xiang started mass production early and trained more than 1,000 operators.

It is just to keep it secret, and the pressure brought by the Japanese has not been great, so the rocket launcher has always been regarded as a secret weapon and has not been used. Even the rocket launcher unveiled this time is only half of it.

"Do you want to transfer?" An artillery major next to him came over and asked. This man was also a disciple of Deng Dayan, and Deng Dayan was also entitled to the rank of colonel as an artillery staff member. It would be normal to ask him.

Deng Dayan smiled and scolded: "Turn the ball, don't you see the Japanese artillery positions in the sea of ​​fire? The remaining cannons were also overwhelmed by the artillery here. Take the time, and it's the right thing to do to another round!"

Katyusha's maximum range can reach 8.5 kilometers, and the Japanese mountain cannons and infantry cannons are covered. Even the three 105mm Type 92 were affected and two were destroyed. At this time, one of the zodiac signs was facing the entire place where the fire was surging just now.

However, the Pioneer Army pulled four more 150mm k16 heavy artillery pieces. According to the guidance of the aerial reconnaissance plane, there was another burst of bombardment at the remaining artillery positions.

"What? The Pioneer Army also has heavy artillery there? Hundreds of heavy artillery?" Sugiyama Sora couldn't believe his ears.

The vanguard army on the southern line already had more than 200 heavy artillery pieces. The roar of heavy artillery and the reconnaissance planes showed that the vanguard army had not made any fraud. However, if at least 500 heavy artillery pieces appeared opposite the 16th Division in the west, Sugiyama Moto could only doubt the authenticity of the report of Colonel Nakajoko, the chief of staff of the 16th Division, who was crying in the opposite direction.

"What time is this? Is this still China?" Sugiyama Moto shook his head. Heavy artillery is not made of paper. It is impossible for the vanguard army to have so many heavy artillery at once.

The 132mm bombardment of the rocket is definitely at the power level of heavy artillery. A one-time bombardment makes everyone multiply by 10 behind the actual number of artillery.

"What, you have also been bombarded by four or five hundred heavy artillery pieces? The attack cannot continue?" Sugiyama Yuan felt the seriousness of the matter. At this time, the Japanese on the front line were in a dilemma. No one knew whether the shelling just now would continue.

"They haven't continued to attack yet?" Sugiyama Yuan couldn't think of what happened. Did their heavy artillery only attack once? Is there another mystery?

He walked around anxiously. Although the fighter planes changed instantly on the battlefield, if he evacuated rashly, he would evacuate rashly once the army began to retreat and was pursued, the consequences would be as tragic.

He felt a little reluctant to give up. The inherent greed of the Japanese made it difficult for them to let go once they were staring at the fat. The luck and gambling mind made him plan to wait and see the situation.

At this time, several commanders on the front line did not have the instructions from their superiors, and they just organized the rescue of the wounded soldiers and arranged personnel to prepare for retreat. This battle could no longer be fought, and the rest was only to consider how to withdraw safely.

"The Japanese are quite strong, and they didn't collapse directly, and they haven't retreated yet?" Hu Minghe was also surprised by the Japanese's resilience. Under such a fierce attack, the ordinary team had long collapsed.

"When will there be another round of hunches?" Hu Minghe felt itchy in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask Xia Dayu.

"It's almost!" Xia Dayu raised his watch and looked at it.

Just seven minutes after the last time, many Japanese who had just stabilized their emotions were still sobbing softly. Another fire fell from the sky and roared over the top of the Japanese's head. Even though many Japanese who had gradually retreated hundreds of meters looked at the sky uneasily from time to time, when the fire clouds hit the heads and faces, the Japanese still had nowhere to hide.

The silent seven minutes of the rocket launcher made many people suspect that it was just a nightmare just now, but now the nightmare has come again. The scroll of Hellfire unfolds again in the world, coloring it again with red blood and black smoke of death.

All the vanguard soldiers were looking at the rising flames on the Japanese positions in the distance, and there was a sea of ​​fire left.
