"Your Excellency Major General! The Second Field Artillery Regiment and the Temporary Heavy Artillery Brigade were ready to fire at any time!”The staff officer in charge of contacting the artillery unit reported to Major General Domenr.
At this moment, Domenr was reprimanding Fukuda Kenji, the commander of the 29th Infantry Regiment, who had failed to attack. When he heard the news that the artillery had been deployed, Domenr snorted and said sternly to Fukuda Kenji,""A group of recruits on the other side will beat you back! Tell me, how can you be worthy of the emperor's grace?!”
"I'm very sorry! Your Excellency Major General! The firepower of the Great Gan Army was too strong! The casualties of our soldiers within a hundred meters are too great!”Kenji Fukuda kept his head bowed as he endured the saliva of the major general.
"I don't want to hear an explanation!" Even during the Battle of Pine Bridge, his troops could easily charge into the Northern Region Army's position formed by veterans. Now, there were four brigades and more than 4,000 people, but they couldn't even reach 50 meters and even lost a squadron of soldiers!
One had to know that in the entire Battle of Pine Bridge, his 2nd division had only lost a thousand men! Now, in just half a day, they had lost a squadron of soldiers! How could he not be angry?
"I will order the heavy artillery unit to bombard the Da Qian army's base! Seize this last chance!”Domental said coldly to Kenji Fukuda.
"Ha Yi!" Fukuda Kenji bowed at a 90-degree angle and swore to himself that he would charge into the Great Qian Army's camp this time.
After Kenji Fukuda went to the front line to organize the next wave of attacks, Domenr ordered the chief of staff, Yuki Onodera,""Have the 10th and 11th aviation teams from Fengtian arrived at Gongzhu Ridge?”
"We've already arrived and are resting! We can take off and fight at any time!" "In addition, the 6th and 7th regiments of the Royal Association Army of the Northern Region have also arrived at Gongzhu Ridge.”
Ever since he was bombarded by the Northern Battlefront Army's air force on the way, Domenr had paid special attention to air power. After losing a large group of fighter planes, he immediately asked the Japanese military headquarters for air support.
Even though the command was surprised that the Da Qian army had a flying unit, they still sent two aviation units over. Not only that, they also sent two brigades of the newly formed puppet army over as cannon fodder.
Even though he didn't have much confidence in his own aviation team, it was better than nothing. At least they could hold them back with numbers.
"Immediately order the 10th and 11th Air Forces to take off and provide air support! He ordered the heavy artillery to fire at the Great Gan Army's position! Let the Da Qian people have a taste of cannons!”Domental could not wait to see the terrifying explosion and the collapse of the enemy's morale when the 240mm heavy artillery bombarded the base of the Da Qian Empire!
Following Domenr's order, the Japanese heavy artillery unit, a total of 36 105mm heavy artillery, 24 150mm heavy artillery, and 4 240mm howitzers, opened fire!
The sharp whistling sound cut across the sky. The soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army retreated into the cannon holes and foxholes.
But this time, not only were there 155 heavy artillery shells, but there were also 240 mm heavy artillery shells. With each shell, a huge hole was blasted in the Northern Battlefront Army's position! Each 240mm shell had a killing range of nearly 100 meters, leaving a 10-meter-wide pit in the black soil!
The soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army endured the terrible bombardment of the heavy artillery. They used simple bomb shelters and foxholes to protect themselves from the shrapnel. However, under the bombardment of the heavy artillery, a great number of soldiers were inevitably killed.
At the front line of the Japanese pirates, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the three regiments raised their guns excitedly and shouted,"'，The morale of the three battalions that were preparing to charge once again rose!
The cheers from the front line of the Japanese pirates were in stark contrast to the Northern Battlefront Army that was bombarded by heavy artillery. The morale of the soldiers was boosted by the heavy artillery.
Just as the Japanese soldiers were enjoying the sight of the Great Qian Army's heavy artillery plowing the ground…
The same ear-piercing sound of artillery shells passed over their heads, and the cheering soldiers were silent in the heavy artillery of the Great Wei Empire. No one could hear the difference in the ear-piercing sound of artillery shells.
However, a few seconds later, the sound of an explosion came from behind them like a storm. All the soldiers turned their heads and saw several thick plumes of smoke rising from a few kilometers away, even causing several consecutive explosions.
At the same time, the sounds of the Japanese artillery fire gradually lessened.
As the Japanese soldiers stared in shock, a few seconds later, another round of artillery shells flew past their heads and smashed into the Japanese heavy artillery.
The 105mm K18 howitzer, which had a range of 15km, displayed its terrifying range and accurately bombarded the Japanese heavy artillery from 15km away.
The six enemy heavy artillery positions were bombarded one after another, and each round would have more than 20 shells falling down, causing the enemy artillery to fall.
The Second Field Artillery Regiment Commander tried to organize a counterattack, but to his despair, he found that the enemy artillery was out of range! It was at least 15 kilometers away! Their 150-and 240-heavy cannons had a maximum range of 13 kilometers!
In the despair of the Japanese Artillery, countless ammunitions that were stored around the heavy artillery were detonated. The chain of explosions rang out in the Japanese Artillery, and even a 155mm cannon was blown up several meters into the sky!
It was not over yet!
Compared to the heavy artillery of the Japanese pirates, the firepower of the Northern Battlefront Army was several times that of the Japanese pirates!
The continuous sound of cannon fire was like a hoe plowing through the black soil behind Taojiatun. Countless shells landed neatly, forming a terrifying explosion carpet!
The 30-minute long carpet bombardment had completely plowed through the six enemy heavy artillery positions twice! Dozens of heavy cannons were destroyed! The chain of explosions caused heavy losses to the Japanese artillery!
The soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army, who were not suppressed by the cannons, came to the front line one after another. Looking at the thick smoke and the serial explosions ten kilometers away, they were so excited that they roared into the sky and cheered.
The Japanese soldiers looked at the cheering Northern Battlefront Army angrily as if they had been slapped in the face.
