To the 6th division, which had an engineering regiment, the river wouldn't be able to stop them for long.
However, just as the engineer unit of the 36th Brigade led by Niudaiman was preparing to set up the pontoon bridge…
At this moment, the 36th Brigade had already entered Qiaojing Town.
Although the 36th Brigade only had one main force regiment, with the troops that belonged to the exploration team and a field heavy artillery regiment, there were about seven to eight thousand soldiers.
At this moment, Liu Yu had also arrived at the artillery position behind the ambush point.
The Dongfeng Warriors parked in the forest were equipped with mortars.
Unlike normal mortars, the shells of the vehicle mortar were not slid into the barrel from the muzzle. Then, the firing pin at the bottom of the mortar would trigger the mortar shell to launch the ammunition to attack.
The 150mm mortar shells would be loaded into a box similar to a magazine.
There was also a container similar to a magazine beside the mortar's barrel, which was just enough to fit the cannonball box.
Just like a rifle, after firing a round, the next round in the magazine would enter the barrel and complete the next round of bombardment.
Therefore, the firing speed of this kind of vehicle mortar was also quite fast, basically surpassing the normal rapid-fire artillery.
Moreover, this thing was a modern weapon with excellent aiming ability and extremely high accuracy.
He could even set the delay fuse of the shell. When the shell was about to land on the target's head, he could directly control the shell to explode on the target's head.
The large number of steel balls in the cannonball could effectively kill the target below.
In terms of range, although mortars were famous for their short legs, this kind of long barrel vehicle mortar could easily transport the shells to 6,000 to 7,000 meters away.
Qiaojing Town was the burial ground that Liu Yu had specially left for the Japanese reinforcements.
To Liu Yu, getting rid of the 45th Regiment was not a big deal.
He was in the right place at the right time. No matter how strong the 45th Regiment was, could it be stronger than the system?
The answer was naturally impossible. No matter how powerful the 45th Regiment was, the outcome was already determined when faced with Liu Yu, who could control the firepower output and summon tens of thousands of elite troops at any time.
If it wasn't for the fact that they didn't want to waste more power here, they would have been surrounded by the Japanese's 18th division and 6th division.
Liu Yu was really planning to have a good fight with the Japanese here.
After eliminating the 45th Regiment, Liu Yu could now recruit more than 16,000 soldiers.
The Independent Regiment had just recruited 2,000 soldiers. Although they had lost more than 1,000 soldiers in the battle with the 45th Regiment, they still had more than 3,000 soldiers.
There were more than 300 sniper teams.
The artillery had also received good tactical protection, and the artillery unit basically did not suffer any losses.
Among the 16,000 elite soldiers that could be recruited at any time, there were 3,000 artillery positions.
They were either the 1,500 mortars or the cannons dropped by Liu Yu from the 45th Regiment that he had just annihilated.
Their firepower could completely overwhelm the Japanese. Liu Yu was at least 90% confident that he could kill the Japanese on the other side of the river.
However, Tina was not someone who liked to take risks. She would stop when she was ahead. He had always been very strict with his control over his own interests.
Of course, not being able to eat it did not mean that he did not do anything.
It would not be a problem to fire a few shots at the Japanese.
After all, the new main mission required them to kill 5,000 Japanese. After wiping out the 45th Regiment, they had already completed three-fifths of the mission.
There were still 2,000 enemies left, and he could complete the main mission again.
Under Liu Yu's command, the artillery that was already prepared opened fire.
Ten 105 howitzers and fifty 150mm mortars. In terms of firepower, they were not inferior to a heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese.
However, the artillery's target was not the Japanese 36th Brigade's Field Artillery Wing, but the Japanese engineers and the 23rd Battalion.
To Liu Yu, destroying the Japanese artillery was only secondary.
The most important thing was to kill more Japanese. One was to quickly increase his strength, and the other was to complete the mission.
The sound of the first round of artillery shells reverberated in the sky above Qiaojing Town. The experienced Japanese did not even need Niu Daoman to give the order. All of them lay on the ground to avoid the artillery shells.
The moment the powerful cannonballs exploded, many houses in Qiaojing Town collapsed.
Regarding this, Liu Yu had already used a large amount of money to compensate the people of Qiaojing Town.
Because of this, Liu Yu gave most of the money he obtained from Qiaojing Town to the people.
This money was to be used as a subsidy for them to rebuild their houses after they returned.
The dense artillery shells fell, and the rumbling explosions seemed to break everyone's eardrums.
"Immediately order the heavy artillery regiment to launch a counterattack!”
Niudao Man's order was quickly relayed to the Heavy Artillery Regiment in Qiaojing Town.
In fact, even without the order of Ushishima Mitsuya, the Japanese soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment also took the risk to unload the cannons from the back of the truck and set up artillery positions.
However, due to the lack of observation balloons and effective means of reconnaissance, they could only get a rough idea of the location of the attacker's artillery position.
By the time the Japanese's artillery regiment braved the gunfire and finally set up all the artillery, almost ten minutes had passed.
The field heavy artillery regiment equipped with 120mm and 150mm howitzers hurriedly began to counterattack.
From the sound of the shells and the time of impact, he could roughly deduce the approximate position of the enemy artillery.
The Japanese's artillery also began to counterattack.
In reality, the distance between the landing point of the Japanese's artillery and the artillery position of the Independent Regiment was quite large.
The Japanese had no choice but to adjust their shooting elements bit by bit and try their best to find the position of the enemy's artillery.
