"Baka? Since when did the Chinese have so many cannons?”The 7th Regiment Commander, Izo, shouted in shock.
Unfortunately, no one could give him an answer because they were all shocked. Why did the Chinese have so many heavy artillery? Weren't they destroyed by the Heavy Artillery Squadron? Why was there more? Could it be that their supplies were endless?
The one who was most shocked was Lieutenant General Yoshida Ichiho, the commander of the Heavy Artillery Brigade. He looked at the continuous sounds of artillery fire from the front line and muttered with a dazed expression,"Nani, how is this possible? Why are there still 150mm heavy cannons? There are no less than 30 of them. Could it be that the reinforcements from yesterday have added more heavy cannons?”
"Where did they get the heavy artillery? Why did their artillery shells seem to be free?”
After five days, both sides had a rough understanding of each other. According to Lieutenant General Yoshida Ichiho's experience, China's heavy artillery regiment should have lost more than half of its troops, especially the 150mm stray bullets. Even if not all of them were wiped out, at least half of them were lost. It was no longer an effective suppression.
His Heavy Artillery Brigade was supposed to provide artillery support to the Seventh Regiment today, but it seemed like they were going to engage in an artillery battle again.
However, there was a problem. He did not have many ammunitions left. He did not carry many ammunitions during the long-distance transportation. In addition, he was attacked midway and had been on the battlefield for five days. He had less than three ammunitions left. If he went all out, he could finish them in one morning at most. At that time, the Heavy Artillery Squadron would have to wait at the rear.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke's face was also frighteningly gloomy. He did not expect the Chinese army to have new cannons to join the battle.
Lieutenant General Yoshika believed that this backward country even needed to import 75 caliber artillery. How could there be such a powerful heavy artillery?
This was simply too unbelievable and unimaginable. He could not understand or accept it. He felt that everything was like a dream.
After a long silence, Lieutenant General Yoshika slowly said,""Have the Seventh Regiment stop attacking and return to their positions.”
"Major General, we still have the Heavy Artillery Brigade. If we let them suppress the Chinese artillery, we can take down the Chinese camp in one go.”Chief of Staff Nakagawa said loudly.
"The Heavy Artillery Brigade doesn't have much ammunition left. If we use it all up here, we will lose our trump card completely. We can only passively be bombed. Moreover, if the Chinese people's aircraft comes, they will definitely be heading for the Heavy Artillery Brigade.”Lieutenant General Yoshika looked at the black shadow in the distance and said helplessly.
At this moment, he seemed a little lonely. He did not know why the soldiers of the Empire, who had always been invincible, were repeatedly defeated by a militia group. This militia group was filled with too many mysteries.
Well-trained troops, powerful heavy artillery, a terrifying number of light and heavy machine guns, and advanced fighter aircraft. All of this was unbelievable to him.
Cheers rang out from the 4th Regiment. This was their first time participating in a battle, and they were naturally very happy to see that they had easily repelled the Japanese's attack.
When Yang Xin saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. He thought that the Japanese would continue to use heavy artillery, but who knew that they would hide and not come out. It seemed that the commander of the other side was not mediocre.
"Well done, especially the Cannon Regiment.”Yang Xin praised.
Xiao Feng was also very happy with Yang Xin's praise. At the same time, he became humble with his colleagues.
"Regiment Commander, we can't continue fighting like this. If this continues, the 7th regiment will be completely wiped out.”The 7th Regiment Commander Iza said with red eyes.
In just an hour of battle, his entire infantry brigade had been wiped out. In the end, they did not even manage to get to the base. This made Izo wail.
He had never seen a battle this big. One attack had wiped out an entire infantry brigade, especially the dense machine gun fire. Even as a regiment commander who had experienced many battles, he could not help but feel his scalp tingle.
" I know…" Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke did not say much. He did not know what to do now.
The enemy was like an iron bucket, with strong firepower and high morale. He didn't know where to start.
The Heavy Artillery Squadron could not suppress the other party, and the fighter aircraft could not defeat the other party. This left him with no good ideas.
"Sigh!" Lieutenant General Yoshika Ryosuke let out a long sigh and waved his hand to dismiss everyone to reorganize the troops and wait for orders. He then sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters.
On the other side, Yang Xin received a telegram from Wang Rusong, who was guarding Dragon Head Town. He couldn't help but smile and mutter,""The armored battalion has been formed, and the Stuka squadron has also come out.”
As he spoke, Yang Xin couldn't help but laugh.
