Not long after taking over the position, the Japanese army launched another attack, but they did not know that their enemy had become a battalion.
As the artillery shells rained down on the camp, the soldiers hid in the bomb shelter, leaving only a few observers to observe the situation outside through the trench periscope.
Just as the Japanese artillery was bombarding the enemy, they suddenly saw shells smashing into their position, causing a huge explosion on the Japanese artillery regiment's position, which shocked the Japanese army.
"Baka, this is a 105mm cannon. Where did the Chinese get it from?”
The Regiment Commander of the 20th Regiment, Kawagishi Bunsaburo, asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to Major General, this should be purchased from the Global Arms Company!" An intelligence officer stood up and reported.”
"Bastard!" Wen Saburo slammed his palm on the table and scolded,""Damn Global Corporation. We'll definitely capture and kill them all when we enter the city!”
Obviously, he was very angry about this. He had sold the machine guns and cannons to the 29th division to make them stronger. Their firepower had become very powerful, causing their offensive forces to suffer heavy losses.
All of this naturally had to be blamed on the Global Arms Company.
"How did they transport the arms over? Our navy has already sealed off Bohai Bay and strictly inspected the ships of various countries.”Wen Saburo Kawaki was a little confused.
"Could it be that the navy guys are slacking off and didn't find out anything?!"”
Kawakishi Wen Saburo denied this possibility and said,"Impossible. No matter how lazy the navy is, they would have discovered such a large shipment of firearms. Perhaps the Global Arms Company had stored them in Beiping before. Bastard, it must be so. They have been prepared for this. I'm going to report it to the headquarters and protest to the German Empire!”
Just as he was making wild guesses, the artillery battle was in full swing. Both sides were fighting back and forth.
Within the city, the soldiers of the 219th Regiment could not help but say enviously as they looked at the smoke in the sky,"I'm so envious. This security regiment actually has heavy artillery support in battle. If only we had the same treatment!”
"It's actually very simple to get treatment!" said a veteran with a smile.”
The soldier turned around and asked in confusion,""Oh? How is it simple?"
"Join the security team, isn't it very simple?”
The soldier's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He then whispered to the veteran,"Look at their luxurious equipment. I think their treatment will be good. Why don't we really join the security team?”
The veteran rolled his eyes and said in a low voice,""I think it's fine, but we have to ask around first. If the treatment is good, we'll sneak over!”
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Artillery positions fired 105 howitzers at the Japanese army in the distance.
This type of howitzer was the M114 105mm towed howitzer that the US military began to equip in 1942, with a range of up to 14.6 kilometers.
The Japanese artillery regiment was equipped with the Type 91 105mm howitzer, which was very light and suitable for mountainous terrain in North Korea, but its range was only 10 kilometers.
The M114 howitzer obviously had the advantage in range, so it had been suppressing the Japanese artillery, while the other two 75mm howitzer companies were responsible for suppressing the Japanese offensive forces.
Grenade after grenade smashed into the charging Japanese troops. This time, there was a squadron responsible for attacking this side.
A Japanese team was equivalent to a platoon, with a strength of between 50 to 70 people, a squadron was between 200 to 250 people, and a brigade was between 800 to 1500 people. In the Japanese army's view, a squadron was enough to attack this position, so only one brigade was left here, and the rest of the troops were on the other side.
A group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the 1st Battalion with Type 38 rifles. Seeing a group of Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms rushing towards them, the soldiers prepared to defend.
Now that they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they could only engage in defensive battles and exhaust the enemy's strength.
Xu Ziqiu looked at the approaching Japanese army and did not order to shoot. This time, he planned to trick the Japanese and let them taste the taste of being slaughtered.
The Japanese army thought that the soldiers of the 219th Regiment were defending here. They had already destroyed the battalion and were not on guard.
The Japanese army had a sense of superiority when facing the backward Chinese army, and they were quite arrogant. Who would have thought that they would suddenly be replaced by the powerful 1st Battalion?
When the Japanese army was 150 meters away from the position, both sides could see each other clearly. This distance was already very close.
At this time, the Japanese army also realized that something was wrong. The other side did not seem to be the 29th division anymore because their military uniforms were different. However, this was not a big deal. So what if the other side's reinforcements came? They were the Imperial Army of the Great Japan Empire. How could the Chinese be their match?
