Ma Shan Zhan was on the defensive side, and his forces were scattered.
Each regiment was stationed in each fortress to prevent the Japanese from attacking.
On the other hand, the Japanese troops were concentrated on the side attacking Xishan Province.
After all, if he clenched all his strength into a fist to attack the other party, he would obviously have to use some strength.
Therefore, the three divisions of the Japanese were more concentrated.
Such a formation was exactly what Zhang Qian wanted.
In front of Zhang Qian, there was a small village in the middle of a hill. It was the location of the Japanese's 1st division in Xishan.
Their location was between Xishan Province and Xishan Province.
It was also the first enemy that Zhang Qian had to face.
Zhang Qian already had a plan in mind. After the scouts went to investigate the specific situation, the soldiers of the Self-Defense Division began to prepare for the battle.
"Chu Yunfei, I'll give you 1,000 mortars and let your regiment take the lead. Do you have the confidence to take down the 1st regiment of the 1st division in a short time?”
" Reporting to the commander," Chu Yunfei quickly replied." The 3rd Regiment can't take out the 1st Brigade Regiment. They have to bring their heads back to see the commander."”
"Alright, then your three regiments will be in charge of the first attack." Destroy the First Brigade in the shortest time possible, but remember to preserve the strength of your three regiments. Don't wipe out all your troops, understand?”
"Yes, Master!" Chu Yunfei said solemnly.”
"Okay, go ahead."
After intercepting the Japanese's report and the scouts 'close reconnaissance, Chu Yunfei knew the Japanese's defense and firepower like the back of his hand.
This was also the reason why Zhang Qian dared to send three regiments each with 1,000 mortars.
Zhang Qian, who was in the command center of the Self-Defense Division, was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, waiting for something.
Zhang Qian only opened his eyes when he heard the sound of intense artillery fire coming from the small mountain village where the Japanese were stationed.
"Tell the Intelligence Department to quickly monitor and intercept the Japanese's intelligence system. I want to know their every move!”
"Yes, Commander!" the messenger replied quickly.”
As expected, it was just as Zhang Qian had expected.
When the Japanese's 1st Brigade was attacked, they immediately sent a message to their division headquarters.
Because of Chu Yunfei's mortar bombardment, the Japanese didn't know what the enemy's strength was. They also asked for reinforcements from the division headquarters.
This telegram had just been sent out by the Japanese's 1st Brigade and was immediately intercepted by the intelligence department.
At the same time, when the Japanese command center of the First Division received their telegram, they immediately replied," What was the enemy's strength?
When Zhang Qian saw the telegram, the corners of his mouth curled up. He said to the regiment commander,""Bring your men and shoot at the First Brigade.”
The first regiment commander immediately led his men over after receiving the order.
Ten minutes later, the intelligence department sent another telegram.
It was a telegram from the 1st Brigade to the division.
There were at least tens of thousands of enemies. Heavy weapons had not been found yet, but the enemy's weapons were very powerful and they needed the support of the division.
The 1st division quickly replied after receiving the telegram," The Second Brigade immediately provided support.
When Zhang Qian saw the Japanese's next move, he relaxed.
The 1st division had a total of 30,000 people. Although they were concentrated in one location, they were too deep.
The only way to eliminate them here was to lure them to a target point.
When the entire division rushed over to support the 1st Brigade, it was time for the thousands of mortars and howitzers to be deployed.
In his previous life, when Zhang Qian saw Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei fighting, Chu Yunfei used a howitzer to bombard Li Yunlong. At that time, Zhang Qian felt especially good.
Now, he was Chu Yunfei, and the Japanese on the other side was Li Yunlong. If they wanted to defend the 1st Brigade's position, they had to see if their heads were made of iron.
Could it withstand the bombardment of thousands of mortars and more than 2000 howitzers?
At the same time that Zhang Qian fired the first shot, Ma Shan Zhan, who was in the county, received news that the Japanese were being attacked.
Just as everyone was wondering who was attacking the Japanese, Ma Shan Zhan issued an unbelievable order.
All troops gather in the direction of the county town!
One had to know that once their defensive line was broken, the Japanese would definitely take advantage of it.
Could it be that Ma Shan Zhan was giving up on resisting?
However, even though they were surprised, the troops were still gathering quickly.
In the shortest amount of time, Ma Shan Zhan had gathered all his troops.
At the same time, according to the combat deployment prepared in advance, they began to station at the predetermined ambush and ambush locations.
······················
On the other side.
Just as Ma Shan Zhan was urgently mobilizing his troops, Zhang Qian's situation was also improving.
The Japanese followed Zhang Qian's instructions and arrived at the area where the 1st Brigade and 3rd Brigade were fighting.
When Chu Yunfei saw the sudden increase in the number of soldiers in the 1st Brigade, he immediately noticed the abnormality and sent a message to the division headquarters.
Zhang Qian looked at the telegrams and narrowed his eyes. He ordered the commander of the Artillery Regiment,""Aim at the Japanese's position. Don't be stingy with your ammunition.”
The artillery regiment commander immediately saluted and said,""Yes, sir! Teacher!"
More than ten thousand Artillery Regiment soldiers began to set up their artillery positions.
The mortar battalion pushed forward into the firing range.
When the Artillery Regiment was ready, Zhang Qian gave the order to fire without hesitation.
At this moment, Chu Yunfei received the order from the division headquarters to stop all attacks.
The two groups that were feigning attack on both sides also stopped their attacks and prepared for the final battle.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As the mortar battalion opened fire, the Japanese's frontline troops and positions were instantly reduced to a sea of fire.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers died in the explosion without any warning.
The Japanese's command center was shocked by the explosion. They quickly questioned the 1st Brigade. Didn't the enemy not have any heavy firepower?
Also, where did these mortars come from?
Wasn't there only 1,000 weapons?？
As soon as the Japanese's command post sent the telegram, the artillery regiment of the Self-Defense Division began to bombard the area with howitzers.
The location of the Japanese's headquarters naturally became their primary target.
Dozens of howitzers adjusted their firing angles under the special command of their regiment commander.
After a burst of artillery fire, the Japanese's command center and their heavy firepower completely disappeared in the sudden bombardment.
This was the importance of information.
It was not as if the Japanese did not have heavy firepower howitzers.
However, in the face of a long-distance artillery position without any movement, the Japanese could not take the initiative to strike first. They did not even know the existence of this artillery position.
However, Zhang Qian's self-defense division was different. They clearly understood the Japanese's every move.
Zhang Qian would know whatever their headquarters knew.
Less than five minutes into the battle, the Self-Defense Division's artillery regiment suddenly attacked the Japanese's headquarters and their artillery positions.
In addition to the 4000 mortars on the frontline, the Japanese's frontline infantry also suffered heavy losses.
