The Regiment Commander Kawagishi Bunsaburo personally came to the frontline command post. He raised his binoculars and looked at the somewhat dilapidated Wanping City."Mr. Hata, how are the preparations of your alliance team going? There were only ten minutes left before the final attack!”
The commander of the 77th regiment, Yada Kiku, said,""Major General, our alliance is ready. Our Empire's warriors will break through the front!”
Kawagishi Bunsaburo nodded with satisfaction and said,"Yo, the warriors of our Great Sun Empire will never be afraid of death. Even if your regiment is wiped out today, you have to take down this position for me. Our artillery will support you!”
"Hey!" Yada Kikuku bowed and said. I will definitely complete the mission given to me by the Regiment Commander!”
As time passed, it was 12 o'clock. This was the time for the Japanese army to launch their general attack. They had spent too much time at Lugouqiao. The other three positions had made significant breakthroughs. There was indeed no movement on their side. Instead, they suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the pressure on Bunsaburo Kawakishi was very great. This side had the strongest troops, but it was also the side that was making the slowest progress.
At this time, black dots appeared in the sky. It was the Japanese fleet. This time, they sent more than 20 fighter planes to support. This time, their main target was also the artillery position of the independent brigade.
At this moment, the artillery position was empty, but there were cannon models placed on the position to fool the Japanese.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The Japanese artillery began to show their might. One by one, the shells accurately landed on the flat ground, and the models were sent flying by the air waves generated by the shells.
The Japanese fleet in the sky also encountered dense anti-aircraft fire. Clouds of black smoke covered the sky, blocking the Japanese fleet's advance.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Mo Xi, Mo Xi! The Chinese army's anti-air artillery is too dense, requesting retreat!”The samurai spirit of the army wasn't as strong. They cherished their lives more.
In less than a minute, three of their fighter jets had been shot down, and they had not even reached the battlefield yet. The accuracy of the anti-air artillery had indeed frightened them.
They discovered that there was something wrong with the Chinese artillery shells. They definitely did not use a delay fuse. A surviving Japanese Army pilot discovered that the artillery shells they fired would explode once they approached the fighter plane.
That was how his fighter jet was injured, but they didn't know what the principle of this kind of artillery shell was.
" We can't retreat. Continue attacking!" Kawaki Bunsaburo was almost angered to death. The battle had just begun, and this group of Lu Hangers actually wanted to escape. It was simply a disgrace to the Yamato people.
The Japanese artillery fired happily, and the artillery shells smashed into the empty ground. The artillery models were destroyed by their powerful artillery shells.
When the Japanese army saw how powerful the artillery was, their morale soared.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The captains of the various battalions brandished their swords and ordered the troops to attack. The Japanese soldiers stepped out of their positions and rushed towards the enemy's position with their rifles.
"Board!"
"Board!"
The Japanese army charged forward. Xu Ziqiu suspected that one shot could solve a team. It seemed that the Japanese army was really ruthless.
Xu Ziqiu picked up the phone and dialed the Artillery Regiment's number."Old Yang, you guys should start working. Let the Japanese know who is the king of war!”
"Yes, sir! Brigadier!" Yang Xing, the commander of the artillery regiment, stood at attention.
Yang Xing laughed and put on his hat."The exploration team can get to work now. Old Lu, you stay here and keep an eye on them. I'll go to the Heavy Artillery Battalion to take a look!”
Chief of Staff Lu Fengguang could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. This regiment commander still liked to fire the cannons himself. He said that he liked this feeling very much.
In fact, he knew that Yang Xing was just trying to get a kick out of the cannon. The scene of a 170mm large caliber cannon firing was indeed quite shocking.
The Artillery Regiment's position was very large. It was a few kilometers away from Wanping City. It used to be a village, but it had been moved away by Lu Jie to be used as an artillery position.
Each artillery unit received their own mission. They each had their own goals and were working methodically.
The 1st, 2nd and 4th battalions were all equipped with 105mm howitzers, with a total of 108 howitzers. Their mission was to suppress the Japanese field artillery regiment and support the frontline.
Because of the arrival of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Regiment, Kawagishi Bunsaburo released his crippled Field Artillery Regiment to participate in the battle.
As for the Heavy Artillery Regiment, they would leave it to the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Artillery Regiment. The 170mm howitzers they were equipped with were specifically used to suppress the enemy's long-range artillery.
In fact, the best way to attack the artillery position was to use aircraft or rocket launchers. Unfortunately, the pilots of the aircraft were not very familiar with it, so they could not be used in combat. As for the rocket launchers, there was no shadow of them.
The rocket launchers were spread out over a large area, covering a large area in one round. They were extremely useful against artillery.
