At this time, they weren't a reinforced regiment with light and heavy machine guns and mortars. The current 358th Regiment was just a normal establishment, and its combat strength wasn't very strong. The regiment didn't have any cannons. If Chu Yunfei hadn't exchanged for 12 62mm mortars, they wouldn't even have a small grenade launcher.
The Republic of China's troops had poor equipment, and many of them did not even have a single cannon. Even if it was a regular division of the Central Army, they would at most have a dozen cannons.
On the other hand, the Japanese troops were already equipped with artillery teams in the squadron combat units. They were even equipped with specialized grenade launchers in the team combat units. It could be said that their firepower was very strong.
And this kind of equipment gap had to be filled with human lives!
Therefore, in the face of the Japanese artillery fire, the Chinese troops could not resist effectively. They could only hide in the trenches and avoid the Japanese artillery.
Whether or not they could survive the artillery attack was all up to luck.
"Boom…Boom…"
The second round of Japanese artillery bombardment came again. They took turns to land on the position, putting a lot of pressure on the soldiers.
"Motherf * cker!" Seeing this, Chu Yunfei cursed and then shouted,"Find the Japanese artillery position and blow it up!”
"Yes, sir!"
With that order, a observant observer immediately ran to a hidden spot to carefully observe the direction of the cannonballs. Not long after, he shouted,"Found it!"
"700 meters to the left!"
"Set up the mortars and blow them up!”
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers quickly set up the 12 62mm mortars and adjusted the angles under the careful observation of the spotters.
" Three rapid shots from the mortars. Ready-"
"Release!"
"Tong ~"
One of the Japanese team leaders saw that the Chinese soldiers on the other side could only hide under their bombardment. He looked excited."Oh my! These despicable Chinese soldiers finally know the power of our empire!”
"Of course! These country bumpkins think that they can block our attack? That's wishful thinking! Under the bombardment of the Empire, they had no chance to fight back. Death…was their only ending!”
a Japanese man said proudly.
The captain nodded in agreement and said,"Don't stop the bombardment, let these lowly Chinese soldiers have a taste of our power, blow them all up!”
"Hi!"
The Japanese accepted the order and was about to continue directing the bombardment when they suddenly heard a shrill whistle. They could not help but look in the direction of the sound. When they looked up, their eyes widened and the smile on their faces froze.
"This is…"
"Baka! This is the artillery of the Chinese army. Quick, dodge!”
The Japanese shouted at the top of their lungs, but…it was too late!”
12 artillery shells instantly roared and landed on the Japanese artillery position, instantly covering the entire position.
The 12 mortars fired three rounds at high speed, destroying the entire artillery position. These Japanese did not even have time to escape. They were all buried here along with their mortars.
After the successful attack, everyone's spirits were lifted. The artillery was even more energetic. They kept smashing the mortar shells on the path of the Japanese army's attack and exploded, killing and injuring many Japanese soldiers.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as the mortars were in full swing, the Machine Gunners were not to be outdone. They controlled their machine guns and fired wildly. The hot tongues of fire kept spitting out, splashing dense craters on the ground.
Many Japanese soldiers were directly hit, their entire bodies were pierced through, and their bodies were covered in more than ten bullet holes. They swayed and fell to the ground.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Broken limbs were all over the ground, all of them Japanese soldiers.
They had just started attacking, and they had already lost many soldiers. This kind of loss made the captain's heart ache.
When they first came to reinforce, they thought that the two squadrons had lost because they were too useless. But now, it seemed that this was not the case at all!
As a veteran, the Japanese squadron leader could tell that there were at least dozens of light machine guns and even many heavy machine guns in the small position on the opposite side. These light and heavy machine guns were set up to form a dense crossfire network.
Under such circumstances, it was simply wishful thinking for them to charge forward with a team that had lost almost half of its members!
If they did not take down the Chinese army's position this time, it was imaginable that the regiment commander would definitely want to kill him!
The captain shouted angrily.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Suddenly, a few stray bullets flew over and hit the captain's abdomen. The captain immediately felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood rooted to the ground and looked at the wound on his abdomen with a stiff expression. His eyes revealed a look of disbelief. He muttered a few times but could not make a sound.
The divine light in his eyes gradually dimmed. In the end, he still spat out some blood and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Great Captain!"
"Lieutenant General!"
The surrounding Japanese soldiers were shocked and could not help but exclaim.
Da da da da…
The fierce firepower continued to spew out. The Japanese army only attacked less than a brigade, and they attacked from below. It was inconvenient to attack.
Now that there were a few heavy machine guns set up there, it could be said that one man could hold off ten thousand men.
Now that the captain was dead and they had suffered heavy losses, the Japanese finally could not hold on any longer and retreated.
