The cannons of the National Salvation Army were still roaring, but the Japanese were completely dumbfounded. The battle had not even started, and the commander was already dead? And a major general?
The Japanese were a little flustered after being stunned. The two regiment commanders could not make up their minds.
If Shozo Kawai hadn't died, they would definitely have rushed over. But now that the general was dead, should they fight or retreat?
If they retreated, they would be handing over the weapons in the arsenal to the Chinese army. The tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers on the front line would face the risk of being defeated by the 29th division.
Although the Japanese were suppressing the 29th division and had defeated a portion of them, it didn't mean that the 29th division had no way of fighting back.
If the 29th division found out that their arsenal at the front line was gone, they would definitely retaliate.
Without supplies, their frontline troops would be in danger.
However, if they continued to attack, they would lose at least half of their forces under the bombardment of the Chinese army.
If there weren't many Chinese soldiers, they might have a chance of charging over. However, if there were Chinese soldiers, they might die.
"What should we do?"
The regimental commander of the First Infantry Regiment, Murutakuchi, was also in a difficult position. He wanted to retreat, but he did not dare to. He could only kick the ball to the regimental commander of the Yamaguchi Regiment, Yamaguchi Ichiro.
Yamaguchi Ichiro was also a smart man. He didn't want to make this decision himself, so he simply kicked the ball to the military headquarters and said,""We should report the situation here to the military headquarters and ask about the next step.”
"Alright! This is for the best!" Murata nodded.
The two of them called for a courier and quickly sent a telegram to the military headquarters, letting Katsuki Seiki make the decision.
Seiji wasn't sure if it was because he had been paying attention to what was happening here, but after the telegram was sent, he received a reply within a few minutes.
When Yamaguchi Ichiro and Muruta Kouren received the call back, they felt their hearts skip a beat and their bodies turn cold.
Yamaguchi Ichiro's face was pale as he said weakly,""What should we do? Do we really have to rush over?”
"Other than this, there's no other way.”
Murata sighed and said helplessly,""If we die here, our families in the mainland will be better off. Otherwise, our families will suffer with us.”
"Then give the order!"
Yamaguchi Ichiro sighed and ordered fiercely,""All of you, charge forward. As long as we charge through, the Chinese will be scattered.”
The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Japanese army was very strict. Now that the commander had given the order, no one dared to disobey. They all rushed forward desperately.
"Charge!"
"Ah!"
Boom! Boom!
The National Salvation Army had the idea that killing one Japanese was worth one. The artillery fire did not stop and rained down with all their might.

After a few minutes, the Japanese finally charged past the heavy artillery bombardment area of the National Salvation Army. However, there were only a little more than one regiment left from the two regiments. None of the teams were fully formed.
"He's coming, he's finally coming.”
Yamaguchi Ichiro panted heavily, his face full of relief. It was really lucky that he didn't die after passing through the bombardment zone of the heavy artillery.
Moreover, Yamaguchi Ichiro's expression changed drastically in the next second. He said in horror,"There are also infantry cannons."
Yes, it was an infantry cannon, and it was the Japanese's Type 92 infantry cannon.
This type of infantry cannon only had a 70mm caliber, and its maximum range was only two kilometers. Previously, it could not hit the Japanese at all, so it did not fire.
Now that the Japanese had passed through the bombardment zone of the heavy artillery and appeared in the range of the 92 Infantry Cannon, how could Ye Yun let go of such an opportunity?
Thus, the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army taught the Japanese a lesson.

Although the power of the infantry artillery was not as great as the heavy artillery, it was better than many. It was no less useful to the Japanese than the heavy artillery. It was even more powerful than the heavy artillery.
Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, Murata and Yamaguchi Ichiro were in despair. They had just passed through the heavy artillery bombardment area, and now they were bombarded by infantry artillery. They could not go back even if they wanted to.

More and more Japanese people fell to the ground. Moutakuchi and Rem couldn't help but scream,""Charge... Charge!"
"Charge!"
This time, Moutian and Shouren led the charge. They knew that only by charging forward and getting close to the Chinese army would they have a chance of survival. Otherwise, they would only die.
"Charge!"
Because Moutian and Shouren were leading the charge, the Japanese soldiers were like a big shot, charging forward crazily.

......
The artillery fire did not stop, and the Japanese kept charging forward. Finally, after ten minutes, the Japanese were less than 400 meters away from the National Salvation Army.
At this time, there were not many Japanese left. There were less than a thousand of them.
However, Muruta and Yamaguchi Ichiro were still very happy because they saw that there were not many Chinese soldiers on the battlefield, only about 700 of them.
They were confident that they could defeat the 700-strong Chinese army in one go.
Before he could think about why this 700-man Chinese army had so many cannons, Yamaguchi Ichiro ordered loudly,"" We've won! Charge, brave warrior!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yamaguchi Ichiro's eyes widened as he looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

.......
More than 700 assault rifles opened fire at the same time. It was like 700 light machine guns shooting fire dragons. Thousands of bullets were fired at the Japanese.
PU PU PU
Almost half of the 1,000 Japanese soldiers fell instantly. It was even more terrifying than being bombarded by heavy artillery.

.......
By the time the 700-odd soldiers had finished firing their assault rifles, there were only a few Japanese left. The entire battlefield was like a living hell, with Japanese corpses strewn all over the place.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the National Salvation Army, except Ye Yun, was deeply shocked. It turned out that the war could be fought like this. Those powerful Japanese were so vulnerable in front of the National Salvation Army.
"Commander, our infantrymen only used one magazine, and the two Japanese regiments are gone. Is this true?”
Chen Zhi muttered to himself. He had yet to recover from the shock.
