While the brigade commanders in the headquarters were observing the terrifying firepower of the cannons, they were shocked.
The independent artillery battalion of the new regiment also opened fire.
Although the firepower of the 24 Type 75 Field Artillery Cannons was not as good as the firepower of the Heavy Artillery Company, it was an excellent supplement to the firepower.
The terrifying firepower poured directly on the Japanese on Zhengtai Road. At the same time, the new group of soldiers who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the road pushed away the snow on their bodies and began to launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese.
The dense firepower was accompanied by the whistling of the artillery shells. All kinds of mortar shells fell one after another. The Japanese, who had never experienced such a terrifying bombardment, were really stunned.
The continuous bombardment had already caused the Japanese to suffer heavy casualties. The dense bullets landed on them and instantly took the lives of most of the Japanese.
The big shots in the command center were all shocked when they saw the Japanese getting killed one by one under the dense artillery fire and hail of bullets.
Even Vice President Peng, who had spent most of his life in the military, was deeply shocked.
The Japanese on the road were not lambs. When they were bombarded, they also lay down and began to counterattack.
However, in the face of a new round of bullets, the Japanese were accurately killed one by one. The moment the Japanese set up their machine guns, they would be immediately destroyed by the artillery fire.
The entire battle was more like a one-sided massacre. The dense gunfire echoed throughout the battlefield. When the gunfire stopped, there were only a few Japanese left.
"This battle is really f * cking satisfying. The Japanese are really nothing. The new regiment is good. They beat the Japanese like they were their grandchildren.”Division Commander He, who had a loud voice, put down his binoculars and sighed emotionally.
"It's really amazing. This battle also fully shows that when our equipment is better than the Japanese, the so-called invincible arrogance of the Japanese is just a joke.”Commander Liu said with a smile.
"This battle was indeed very enjoyable, but did you guys notice that everyone in the new group is very skilled in marksmanship? They had a complete advantage in the exchange of fire with the Japanese. This is also the first time I've seen the Japanese suffer a loss in marksmanship.”
Chen Geng immediately explained,""This is also the reason why Vice President Peng gave the new regiment two months of time. It is to give the new regiment enough time to train and strengthen their combat strength.
From what I know, the New Regiment had already fired more than ten million bullets in the past two months. Especially during the second month of intensive training, every soldier in the New Regiment had to fire a hundred bullets a day. This kind of training intensity was not inferior to the elite troops of the Japanese.
Coupled with the advanced rifles, the efficiency of continuous shooting completely crushed the Japanese's 38-gun gun. Therefore, the new group of soldiers could completely suppress the Japanese in the exchange of fire.”
At this point, Chen Geng paused and continued,"Besides, only one-fifth of these Japanese are elites. It's normal for the new regiment to have a bigger advantage.”
Hearing Chen Geng's words, all the brigade commanders present were shocked by the training cost of the new regiment.
Ten million bullets was not a small number.
If it was the previous Eighth Route Army, this amount of bullets would have been enough for them to fight for a year.
"My aim is to let the soldiers consume more bullets on the training ground than to let them bleed on the battlefield.”Ye Ming explained.
Everyone present knew this principle. It was just that they were short of money. It was impossible for them to have so many bullets for the troops to train.
In the 8th Route Army, most of the new recruits did not even have the chance to train with live ammunition before they had to go to the battlefield.
Ye Ming knew this very well, so he continued,""In the future, we will have more and more bullets. I believe that our soldiers will have enough live ammunition to train their marksmanship. I believe that when the time comes, every regiment of the 8th Route Army will have the same combat strength as the new regiment.”
The brigade commanders who had witnessed Ye Ming's generosity nodded in agreement.
The fighting strength displayed by the new group in this battle gave everyone a real hope of defeating the Japanese for the first time.
The ambush soon came to an end. When the new group blew the charge horn, the last Japanese who resisted were all eliminated.
The New Regiment did not celebrate their perfect victory. Instead, under the command of the officers, they collected the surviving horses, carts, and supplies of the Japanese's supply team and cleaned up the battlefield.
In this aspect, the new regiment had long been trained to be strictly disciplined. With thousands of people on the field, in less than 20 minutes, even the Japanese's pants were pulled out.
On the battlefield, not even a bullet shell was spared.
Half an hour after the new regiment retreated from the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers heard the sound of gunfire and saw corpses everywhere.
The entire battlefield was filled with a large number of broken limbs and various craters. There were naked corpses everywhere, and the enemy did not even leave a bullet shell behind.
Even the horses that were killed in the explosion were taken away. After all, even though the 8th Route Army had Ye Ming's help, the other troops other than the new regiment were also short of meat.
This made the commander of the Pingan County Garrison Wing, Hirata Taro, extremely angry.
Because Ping An County was close to the huge threat of the new regiment, the defense level was adjusted. The garrison brigade was upgraded to the garrison regiment.
Hirata Tarou had also been transferred from Taiyuan to Pingan County. His goal was to curb the development of the new regiment.
This was already the highest level of vigilance the Japanese had. After all, the Japanese did not have enough troops. It was impossible for the Japanese to station an exploration team in a small county like Pingan County.
This time, the large amount of weapons and supplies transported by the logistics regiment was for the Hirata Garrison Regiment.
Unexpectedly, the supplies were gone, and the elite infantry brigade that had replenished the Hirata Regiment was also gone. The 4,000 men of the Logistics Regiment were all gone. How could the newly appointed Hirata Taro endure this?
However, Hirata Tarou felt a deep sense of powerlessness. After all, the logistics regiment and an infantry brigade were 5,000 soldiers, but they were all wiped out in just half an hour.
This made him feel a deep sense of danger. Was there such a powerful armed force near Pingan County?
At this moment, the first thing that came to Hirata Tarou's mind was the new regiment. This was the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had already been assigned to the First Army Command.
