The Chinese artillery had no advantage against the Japanese, so they had been hiding and did not dare to fight the Japanese artillery.
Now that the 74th division was about to counterattack Luo Zhen, the commander finally went to the main army to request for some artillery support. He wanted to destroy the front line of the Japanese and open a breakthrough.
Although the commander of the army only sent an artillery battalion, the sudden attack on the front line of the Japanese caught them off guard and made them suffer a huge loss.
However, the artillery was short of shells, and they were only firing for money. After a few minutes, the artillery stopped firing.
"Brothers, charge!"
Seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, the assault troops that had already moved to the front line quickly rushed out of the trenches under the orders of the officers and pounced on the Japanese soldiers 'front line.
Zhao Ting and the rest followed the troops and rushed out. However, their target was the No. 5 position on the Japanese's flank, so they did not follow the main force.
Luo Zhen was guarded by the 11th division. Now that the north and south were attacked at the same time, the staff officer on duty quickly woke up the major general.
"Order the troops to defend their positions! Hold on until dawn!"
"Artillery! Destroy the Chinese Artillery!”
......
The disheveled Japanese Regiment Commander did not expect to be attacked by the Chinese army. However, as a high-ranking commander, he quickly calmed down after a short period of panic and issued a series of orders.
The orders of the Japanese Regiment Commander were quickly passed down to the various defense units. The sleeping Japanese soldiers hurriedly rushed to their battle positions.
In this short period of time, the Chinese soldiers had already torn apart the Japanese's front line of defense and began to attack in depth.
"Rumble!"
"Boom!"
After the Japanese artillery received the order, they quickly responded and attacked the position of Zhao Ting's artillery.
However, the counterattack of the Japanese artillery was destined to be futile because the Chinese artillery battalion had quickly shifted their position.
"Battalion Commander, I'm going with my men!"
Seeing the shells flying past their heads, Zhao Ting determined the direction of the Japanese artillery position. After greeting the battalion commander, Wang Hai, he led his company into the darkness.
At this moment, with Luo Town as the center, gunshots and explosions could be heard everywhere in the dark night. The whistling artillery shells dragged a trail of light in the night sky and emitted a dazzling light.
The Japanese soldiers were suddenly attacked, and they were desperately shooting to stop the Chinese soldiers from pouncing on them in the dark.
The Chinese soldiers charged forward without any regard for their lives. Soon, the 58th Division's battalion that was attacking from the south broke through the Japanese's position outside Luo Town and began to attack the town.
After the Japanese artillery attacked the Chinese artillery, they realized that the two sides were already fighting.
It was dark at night, and communication was difficult. It was also difficult for them to judge whether they were friends or foes. Therefore, although they had strong firepower, they did not dare to fire for fear of accidentally injuring their own troops.
As such, the Japanese artillery could only watch helplessly as their positions were broken through one by one, but there was nothing they could do.
"Guard squadron, immediately reinforce area 8!”
The Japanese's artillery command received the order to send an infantry squadron to reinforce the other defense lines.
"Ha Yi!"
Soon, an infantry squadron that was guarding the artillery position quickly gathered and rushed towards the place where the battle was the most intense.
Zhao Ting and the others were moving through the darkness. Although the surroundings were bustling with fighting, their target was the Japanese artillery position. Therefore, when they encountered a battle, they all went around it.
"Company commander, there's a situation!"
Under the cover of the night, Zhao Ting and the others ran towards the Japanese artillery position. Suddenly, in the darkness ahead, a group of Japanese troops came from the front.
" Who is it?!"
The Japanese on the other side also noticed Zhao Ting and the others and asked questions.
Zhao Ting had previously spent his war points to learn a foreign language. It just so happened to be the language of the Japanese, so he understood the other party's question.
"I'm from the 44th Infantry Regiment.”
When the brothers were ready to fight, Zhao Ting stopped them and shouted into the darkness.
"We are from the 22nd regiment and have been ordered to provide reinforcements.”
After hearing Zhao Ting's reply, the other party also replied. Because of the urgent military situation, they did not ask further.
Under the command of the Japanese officer, the Japanese soldiers who stopped quickly drove towards the predetermined location. They almost brushed past Zhao Ting and the others. The two sides were only a few dozen meters apart.
After the Japanese soldiers left, Zhao Ting and the others broke out in cold sweat. If they were to fight, they would definitely not be a match for the other party. There were at least a few hundred of them.
"Continue forward!"
Zhao Ting didn't dare to be careless anymore after this lesson. He sent out two quick-witted brothers to lead the way.
Their teams were at the back, more than 50 meters away from each other. They could react in time if they encountered a situation and avoid a battle.
Zhao Ting and the others walked towards the place where the Japanese had just fired and soon found the location of the Japanese artillery position.
Since the infantry squadron responsible for the safety of the artillery position had been transferred away, the defense of the Japanese artillery position could be said to be quite weak.
