Predator Reborn

The devastating artillery fire of the Battle of Crossing the River

In a dense forest about two kilometers away from the river, because it was located in the hinterland of the Japanese defense line, it was not taken seriously by the Japanese army. And in this forest that was not taken seriously by the Japanese army, the headquarters of the 1st Special Operations Regiment and nearly a hundred special operations personnel

The team members are like lurking hunters, hiding here, waiting for their prey to come.

Although the entire special operations group has been cut off from the outside world for half a month, the fierce artillery battle that took place half an hour ago still did not escape the eyes of these special operations members. After seeing the attack on themselves crossing the river,

The Japanese Jiang Defense Fleet, which threatened the most troops, was buried at the bottom of the river before it could participate in the battle. The faces of every special operations team member were filled with excited smiles. Of course, apart from being happy, each special operations team member

They also began to gear up and make preparations for the war. Because based on the combat experience of these veterans and their understanding of their own mistakes, they believed that after solving the biggest obstacle blocking the way for our main force to cross the river, the troops gathered north of the Yangtze River

The main force of the East China Field Army will definitely seize this powerful opportunity, launch a cross-river campaign, and cross the Yangtze River to join themselves...[]

As expected, the radio station that had been cut off from the headquarters for half a month started ringing at the right time. Listening to the familiar sound of a telegraph machine sending and receiving telegrams, Wang Hong, the leader of the Special Operations Regiment, had a look on his face.

A look of anticipation immediately appeared. A pair of eyes, just staring at the operator in front of him, waiting for the contents of the telegram to be translated...

"Commander, telegram from the left chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters..."

"The wait is finally here, why are you still standing there, Nian..." Captain Wang Hong, who was already impatient with waiting, ordered with an eager look on his face.

"Yes... the Chief of Staff ordered our Special Operations Regiment to destroy the Japanese communication system in the shortest possible time after our artillery column launched an artillery bombardment on the enemy's position, and create trouble in the Japanese rear. At the same time, the Chief of Staff asked us to send

A certain number of artillery observers provide the artillery column with the latest artillery targets and more accurate Japanese military targets...During the battle, we are required to use a second set of communication codes to get in touch with the artillery column..." News

member reported.

"Battle of Crossing the River, haha... Our special operations division has been waiting for this day after crossing the river for half a month. After passing my order, each company immediately dispatched a combat team of special operations members and dispersed them behind the Japanese army.

Provide our artillery column with the latest artillery targets. The rest of the people, in small teams, destroy the Japanese communication system and hunt down all lone Japanese troops and Japanese troops below the small team size. All troops will start taking action in half an hour...

, a sneer quickly appeared on the corner of Wang Hong's mouth. As a special operations group, Wang Hong, who had been waiting here for half a month, ordered with great confidence without any hesitation.

"Boom, boom, boom..., half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. On the Japanese military position, when all the Japanese and puppet troops were still immersed in the grief of the entire Jiang Defense Fleet being destroyed, there was a series of sharp whistling sounds that broke through the air,

reached their ears. Immediately afterwards, before they could make any reaction, a series of deafening shell explosions began to sound around them.

The tidal flat position located at the forefront of the entire position was the first target that the troops crossing the river needed to occupy. Unsurprisingly, it became the most important target in the first round of artillery shelling by the artillery column. Commander Chen Guangrong carefully selected the rocket artillery regiment

It became the nightmare before death for more than a thousand little Japanese on the beach front.

The shells fired by a hundred rocket launchers all landed on the beach position less than 20 meters deep and less than one kilometer long in almost five seconds.

Six hundred rockets gathered in this position with a radius of less than 20,000 square meters and exploded. On average, almost every 30 square meters had to withstand the explosion of a shell. Needless to say, you can feel its power.

get···.

As the rapid artillery attack ended in less than five seconds, the beach position where a reinforced brigade had just been stationed, lined with trenches and piled with various sandbag bunkers, had now completely turned into ruins. And the beach position stationed here

There were more than a thousand little Japs who had no time to take any evasion before the bombardment. Except for the lucky ones who were able to leave a whole corpse or become seriously injured, the rest were almost blown into pieces...

·

Of course, this is just the shocking effect produced by one round of firing from the rocket launcher regiment. As the rocket launcher regiment fired first, dozens of artillery regiments and hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces gathered on the other side of the river, already ready to go.

At the first moment, there was a deafening roar...

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo guys...

piece.

The corpse of the little Japanese, the remaining broken arms, and the shattered weapon parts... were thrown high into the sky amidst the violent explosion of the shells, just like a goddess scattering flowers.

On such a large position, almost every explosion of a large-caliber artillery shell would blast a crater with a depth of two meters in the position that the Japanese army had worked so hard to build. At the same time, with the crater as the center, a radius of tens of meters spread out.

Afterwards, whether it was the trenches where the Japanese troops were hiding or the heavy machine gun positions that served as firepower points, they were all razed to the ground. Of course, the little devils within the explosion range were without exception. They were either blown to pieces or exploded by artillery shells.

Under the impact of the shock wave generated, he was shocked to death in his own position...

Of course, of all the shelling, what made the Japanese army feel the most heartbroken was not the loss of the beach positions, but the loss of the artillery positions on which they had placed high hopes.

A field artillery regiment, an artillery group consisting of more than thirty field guns in total, had not had time to make any substantial counterattack as the battle began. Attracted by the telegram signals of the special forces members who were like ghosts around them,

It attracted the attack of two entire howitzer regiments...

A total of more than sixty howitzer shells with a caliber of more than 100 mm landed on the artillery position with a huge roar.

The face of the captain of the Japanese Field Artillery Regiment immediately turned pale. Because he had been on the battlefield for a long time, he could clearly recognize the artillery used by him against the East China Field Army, both in terms of quantity and strength.

The caliber is several times that of his own. He clearly knows that the seemingly very powerful artillery unit in his hands will be defeated by a force that is not even a little better than the Jiang Defense Fleet under the fierce attack of the two howitzer regiments of the East China Field Army.

the result of.

"Baga, my artillery regiment. Order the troops to move immediately, abandon all artillery, and move immediately..." The Japanese commander, who knew that his artillery regiment had become the meat of the East China Field Army, at a critical moment

, wisely chose to abandon artillery and retain artillery.

However, at this moment, I realized that it was too late to give up. Because a total of more than sixty large-caliber howitzer shells had already emitted one after another explosions on their artillery positions. And with each explosion,

It will definitely take away the lives of countless artillerymen, or blow up the field guns with their muzzles raised into the most primitive parts...

"Bageya Road, you cunning Chinese people, how do they know the location of my artillery position, you bastard. Immediately report to the division commander that our artillery regiment has suffered a devastating blow from the artillery force of the East China Field Army of China. It has been completely destroyed."

Loss of combat effectiveness. Please make an early decision, Division Commander..."

Just when the captain of the Japanese artillery regiment sent his last farewell telegram to the division headquarters before his death, various infantry positions outside Zhenjiang City were subjected to precise attacks by the artillery columns. Ever since,

One after another, calls for help were made to the headquarters in Zhenjiang City amid the flying artillery fire...

"The cunning Chinese people, how could there be such a fierce artillery fire? Quickly inform the division commander, the Chinese people have begun to cross the river. The troops have suffered heavy losses, requesting reinforcements, requesting reinforcements..."

"Immediately report to the commander of the regiment. Our first battalion suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties in the enemy's artillery fire. Please request reinforcements. Please request reinforcements..."

However, what made the Japanese commanders who suffered so much under the artillery fire feel desperate was that their phone calls to the headquarters in the city were completely interrupted at some point. Even the large number of communications troops they sent were also disconnected.

As time goes by, evaporating from the world...

Although telephone contact with the outside world was completely interrupted, the connection between the radio stations still allowed Lieutenant General Yamashita, the division commander stationed in Zhenjiang City, to understand to a certain extent the tragic battle outside the city.

"Baga, what's going on? The communication system is completely interrupted, and there's no news from the communications troops sent out. More importantly, the Chinese don't have reconnaissance planes, so why are they so aware of the defense outside our city.

Also, why do their artillery units shoot so accurately? Do all their artillery units have eyes? Who can tell me why... Facing one bad news after another, the division commander Yamashita

The lieutenant general's face was already livid with anger. He asked the staff officers in front of him loudly.

"Division Commander, through the destruction of our army's communication system and the disappearance of a large number of communication troops out of thin air, coupled with the precise artillery strikes of the China East China Field Army, I thought that there must be a large number of Chinese people moving directly behind us...

．”The chief of staff replied very firmly.

"Yo Xi, this must be the case. In this case, immediately send out the division's direct guard brigade and the Zhenjiang City Gendarmerie brigade out of the city. Spread out in small teams and destroy these cunning Chinese people in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, these hidden

The enemy in our heart may directly kill us all at the critical moment..." A strong murderous aura quickly appeared in the corner of Lieutenant General Yamashita's mouth. Then, he gave a decisive order.

"Ha Yi, I will go and deliver the order right away..." the chief of staff replied decisively.
