On the six kilometer long battlefield, the Japanese pirates sent four battalions of troops to attack the Changtun defense line. The dense Japanese pirates bowed or crawled on the melted black soil, making people think of the closely coordinated soldier ants.
"Order all the 92-type cannons to fire at Da Qian's position! The Second Field Artillery Regiment extended backward and destroyed their artillery deployment!”In the frontline command center of the Japanese pirates, Domenr put down his binoculars and ordered the messenger beside him.
Following the order of the major general, the artillery behind the Japanese pirates opened fire, and countless shells roared towards the Northern Battlefront Army.
The 70mm Type-92 infantry shells mixed with the 105mm and 155mm shells created deep pits in the long-distance defense line. Explosions sounded one after another. The black soil rolled and splashed on the Northern Battlefront Army soldiers in the foxholes.
The soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army, who had been bombarded by dense heavy artillery for the first time, could not help but feel terrified in their foxholes and trenches. The violent explosion shook their eardrums, and the voices of instructors and veterans could be heard.
The Red Alert veterans also cheered with the recruits around them to relieve the pressure on the recruits.
The Japanese Type 92 Infantry Cannons continued to bombard the frontline, while the heavier 105mm and 155mm heavy artillery began to extend back.
At the second and third defense lines of Changtun, the soldiers of the 4th and 5th regiments of the Northern Battlefront Army hid in foxholes and cannon holes under the leadership of the Red Guard. The deafening explosions and the shaking of the black soil made these new recruits feel the close proximity of death for the first time. They understood what a battlefield was for the first time.
"Your Excellency Major General! They had already used up a base number of cannonballs!”The 2nd division's chief of staff, Onodera Yuki, saw that the major general was immersed in the suppression of firepower and couldn't help but remind him.
Dolmen put down his binoculars, turned around from the observation window, and sighed.""Let the heavy artillery troops cease fire. The mountain cannons, Type 92 infantry, and mortars of the various regiments will continue to fire at the Da Qian army's position to cover the four battalions 'attack.”
"Ha Yi!" Onodera Yukiki immediately turned around and ordered the lightning artillery unit.
The resources of the pirates were scarce, and most of the resources for large-caliber artillery were given to the navy. The entire 2nd division only had a few 105 heavy artillery, and when attacking, they had to consider the number of shells and firepower.
However, at least their enemy, the Da Qian Empire, had even more outdated weapons and equipment. They had more than two million soldiers, but their artillery was less than half of the total number of the Great Wei Empire. In fact, the number of cannons above 105mm was even rarer. Only the Da Qian Army and a few warlords had them.
After the heavy artillery stopped firing, the four battalions of 4,000-odd pirates charged into the Changtun defense line 200 meters away under the cover of the small-caliber artillery and began to set up heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.
At the same time, the observation post in front of the Changtun defense line sounded the alarm. Countless Northern Battlefront Army soldiers rushed out of the foxholes, trenches, and anti-artillery holes. They rushed into the first trench under the Japanese artillery and aimed their guns at the Japanese who had already advanced 150 meters.
The MG34 general machine gun set up a tripod and opened fire first!
Da da! Da da! Da da da da da!
The machine gun began to fire heavily, aiming at the veteran grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns 200 meters away. The 7.92mm shells fell to the ground and scattered on the sandbags and trenches.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Following that, the various troops also opened fire. Mosinaga's unique low and deep sound rang out continuously in the camp. Accompanied by the explosions of the Japanese artillery, it was a song of death!
The six kilometer long battle line was constantly flashing with fire, and fire snakes surged out. The Japanese pirates also became ruthless. The Type 92 heavy machine guns were carried to the ridge and aimed at the defense line, covering their own soldiers as they charged. The veterans skillfully dodged the bullets and directly lay on the black soil. They dragged the 413mm long grenade launcher with both hands and fired 50mm grenades.
The battle between the two armies immediately demonstrated the military accomplishments of both sides.
The skillful individual tactical movements and cooperation of the Japanese pirates put pressure on the new recruits of the Northern Battlefront Army. On the other hand, the soldiers of the First Regiment of the Northern Battlefront Army were not bad. Most of them were bandits who had been in the forest for many years. After the in-depth training in the training center, their combat skills were not much worse than the Japanese pirates.
The enemy troops that were attacking the mountain were also the most hindered. When the other enemy troops were 100 meters away, the enemy troops in front of the mountain were suppressed 150 meters away.
The 2nd and 3rd regiments on the east and west side were barely acceptable.
"Their combat strength seems to be uneven.”From the observation window, Domental saw the situation of his troops being obstructed and judged the enemy's situation.
Yuki Onodera and a few division and regiment headquarters staff officers added,""According to the description of the attacking soldiers at the front, the enemies at the sealed mountain position occupy the high ground, and their combat strength is obviously stronger than the enemies on the east and west sides."
"Many of their infantrymen are at the level of militia! When the heavy artillery bombarded, there seemed to be signs of panic, although it was quickly resolved.”
"However, the machine gunners are very skilled and experienced. In the battle, they are on par with our machine gunners!”
" The number of soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty isn't large. Five thousand soldiers can be deployed at most on the six-kilometer-long battle line, which is very different from the original estimate of twenty thousand soldiers!”
"Then where are the others? A surprise attack? Damn it! Why hadn't they found out anything about Spring City? The group of red deer from the Special Affairs Department!"
"To eliminate them, the casualties will probably be much higher than the Battle of Pine Bridge!”
Listening to the reports and arguments of the staff officers, Domenr stared at the layout of the two armies on the map. His eyes under his glasses narrowed slightly."What a strange opponent…"
In addition, again! A ticket!
