Just as Li Yunfei blew up the Japanese observation balloons and the heavy artillery battalion to attack the artillery battalion.
Fujiuro Ryosuke was not in the command post, but was patrolling the camp as usual.
This had always been his favorite habit, strictly requiring the troops to carry out the battle guidance that never slackened.
For the Japanese, once they stayed in a place for a period of time, they would immediately become a battlefield fortress.
This was enough to show that the reason why the Japanese army could fight was not without reason.
When he was outside, patrolling the camp was something that Fujiuro Ryosuke had to do. It was this habit that saved his life.
The observation balloon that suddenly exploded in the night sky stunned Fujiuro Ryosuke for a moment. He did not immediately think that it was an attack by the Chinese.
The first thought that came to his mind was whether it was an operational accident of the artillery unit that caused the balloon to explode. This kind of thing had happened before.
However, just as this thought rose in his mind, the artillery shells that streaked across the sky made him realize that this was the attack of the Chinese army.
At the same time, red signal lights rose into the sky around the regiment's base. Before the dazzling red light faded away, the ear-piercing sound of artillery shells could be heard in the sky.
The 337th Regiment did not only have one heavy artillery battalion. Every infantry battalion was equipped with a mountain artillery company. The target of the mountain artillery company was not the Japanese artillery, but the Japanese camp.
Fujiuro Ryosuke was dumbfounded. His command post had been hit by several artillery shells, causing his hands and feet to feel a little cold. If it wasn't for his habit of patrolling the camp, he would definitely be in the command post now.
In a minute, he would hold an attack meeting. If the bombardment was delayed by a minute, all the senior officers of the 77th regiment would be killed.
At this moment, Fujiuro Ryosuke was both angry and glad.
At this moment, many shells were still falling from the sky. Intense flames soared into the sky, and deafening explosions rose and fell. The command center had become a sea of fire.
Fujiuro Ryosuke pulled out his sword and ordered all the officers and soldiers around him," Immediately organize the defense. This is the attack of the Chinese army. Hurry up…"
At this moment, Fujiuro Ryosuke finally understood one thing. He had made a grave mistake and completely misjudged the enemy's goal.
From the very beginning, Fujiuro Ryosuke had set his target on Anhua County, and had never put Li Yunfei's Regiment 337 in his eyes.
Facing the resistance of the small temple, Fujiuro Ryosuke thought that he would only need a few hours to break through and wipe out the main force of Li Yunfei's troops.
However, he had never thought that this was a trap that had already been set up. Because in his opinion, Li Yunfei definitely did not have such great courage. With the combat strength of the 77th regiment, it was impossible for them to worry about not being able to defeat an infantry regiment of the national army.
At this moment, when he heard the sound of artillery fire, Fujiuro Ryosuke instantly understood. In the entire northwestern Shanxi, there was no Chinese army with such powerful artillery fire. With his understanding of the Chinese army, even a military unit rarely had such a powerful artillery unit.
Their powerful firepower was already comparable to an independent heavy artillery brigade. With such an artillery brigade, their regiment's current situation would become dangerous.
As soon as Fujiuro Ryosuke gave the order, he heard a large number of shouts coming from around the camp of the 77th Regiment. Along with the artillery fire, a large number of automatic firepower suddenly pounced on the 77th Regiment.
Although Fujiuro Ryosuke could not see how many enemies there were around him, he immediately had a rough idea of the number of enemies and the dense number of guns coming from all directions. This number made him even more afraid.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to dodge the artillery fire just now, the 77th Regiment would have lost its command. With the intensive artillery fire and night operations, and the enemy launching a simultaneous attack from the east, south, and west, the entire regiment would have retreated north after losing its command. Naturally, they would have entered the defense line of the Chinese troops in the small temple of fifteen miles. They would have been like fish in a jar.
Furthermore, the entire regiment had lost their unified and effective command in the dark. Once they retreated, it would definitely turn into an irreversible defeat, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Fujiuro Ryosuke took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. At the same time, an unyielding belief emerged.
Fujiuro Ryosuke was a traditional Japanese soldier. He believed that the Japanese Empire was invincible.
He was definitely one of the best among the young generals of the empire, and he would not lose to the commander of the opposing side. How could the powerful ace regiment of the permanent division fight here?
In an instant, Fujimuro Ryosuke calmed down completely. He then turned around and ordered the various teams and squadron leaders who had gathered quickly,"Order the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigade and the troops under their command to defend the base camp. The 3rd Infantry Brigade and the Guards Squadron will coordinate with the Chariot Squadron to attack the rear of the Chinese Army from the south and north respectively.”
Although they were suddenly attacked by artillery, the 77th Regiment did not fall into chaos. Under Fujiuro Ryosuke's orders, they quickly stabilized the defense line. Although a large amount of artillery fire still landed on them, no one took a step back.
The orderly defense was mainly based on machine gun positions, and they launched layers of attacks. At the same time, the mortars and grenade launchers in the team also tried to suppress the enemy's heavy firepower.
For a moment, the entire 337th Regiment's attack, which had the advantage of artillery fire, was quickly blocked.
