9th month, 9th day, Shengyang launched a powerful attack on the Zhongxia garrison along the railway, Hu-Song highway, Luozhen, and Puyue.
The 11th Shengyang Division had replenished the artillery regiment. In order to increase the suppression effect on the defenders of Luo Town, the artillery regiment had been strengthened with four Type 91 105mm howitzers.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the heavy artillery roared and Shengyang launched another large-scale attack on Luo Town.
"Tsk tsk tsk"
"Machine Gun Team, pay attention to changing positions. The grenade launchers of the Rising Sun Army are not to be trifled with!”
One of the squad leaders noticed that a machine gun squad had been firing continuously at a shooting point for quite some time and couldn't help but remind them.
"Boom! Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two 50mm grenades exploded at this machine gun position.
"F * ck!" Looking at the general-purpose machine gun that was blown far away, the squad leader could not help but curse.
After the last large-scale attack on Shengyang, although the independent brigade suffered heavy losses, the reinforcements from the rear kept arriving, and the independent brigade received another 2000 new recruits. With the addition of a large number of new recruits, the independent brigade had a total of 7000 people!
However, although the number of combatants had increased, a large number of recruits had not adapted to semi-automatic weapons for the first time.
Since the beginning of the general assault, the Rising Sun soldiers had been attacking the independent brigade's position like ferocious beasts that had bared their fangs. Without any orders to retreat, they fearlessly attacked the independent brigade's position in waves.
"Boom!"
The newly replenished artillery regiment of the Shengyang Army directly engaged in an intense exchange of fire with the artillery of the independent brigade.
Flames kept rising from the Artillery Battalion's position. The terrifying power of the 105mm shells kept destroying the 75th Mountain Cannons of the Artillery Battalion and killing the Independent Brigade Artillery.
Although the losses were huge, the Independent Brigade artillery continued to fire back at the Rising Sun Artillery.
The long-range artillery fire from both sides made both sides lose long-range artillery support.
At this moment, the intensity of the battle at the frontline was still palpitating.
"Bang!"
A 6.5mm bullet hit the helmet of an Independent Brigade soldier.
The powerful kinetic energy directly pierced through the helmet and shattered the head. The soldier fell straight down without even grunting.
Jiang Yu, who had been promoted to a second lieutenant platoon leader, immediately raised his rifle and fired three shots at Shengyang, who had just fired, nailing him to a shallow trench.
After killing the man from Shengyang, Jiang Yu quickly retracted her head. Several bullets followed closely behind, hitting the trenches with a popping sound.
"Machine Gun Team, pay attention to changing positions. Mortar Team, keep an eye on the grenade launcher of Rising Sun!”
After many days of fighting, Jiang Yu was already familiar with the offensive tactics of the Shengyang army. Heavy and light machine guns were used to suppress the enemy, grenade launchers were used to eliminate them, and riflemen fired accurately to eliminate the defenders.
This strategy was usually effective against other Chinese armies, but it was significantly less effective against the independent brigade.
Whether it was the Taisho Type 11 light machine gun or the Type 92 heavy machine gun, neither of them could suppress the independent brigade's general machine gun.
The grenade launchers that could pose a threat to the general-purpose machine guns were suppressed by the 60mm mortars of the independent brigade. Even the Type 92 infantry cannons of Shengyang had Type 20 82mm mortars to deal with them.
"Hehehe…"
Jiang Yu heard the sound of the tracks rubbing against each other and looked up.
The 22 Rising Sun Tanks were in formation, covering the large number of infantrymen behind them as they slowly advanced towards the camp…
The 11th Shengyang Division's tank squadron, which had four Type 97 medium tanks, six Type 89 medium tanks, and twelve Type 95 light tanks, was finally sent out after suffering heavy casualties.
Of course, the average tank squadron would not have such a luxurious configuration.
The number and quality of this squadron were far beyond what other squadrons could compare with.
It could only be said that the continuous heavy losses had really made Yamamori Munetaka furious.
"Yo, these damn Chinese people, I'll let you experience the despair that my Rising Sun Chariots bring!”
In the captain's seat of a Type 97 medium tank, Squadron Leader Maeda put down his binoculars and looked at his own tank squadron leading a large number of Empire warriors forward. He could not help but exclaim excitedly.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen his own tank troops charging into the enemy's formation and killing in all directions. He also had the honor and fortune of an official.
"Tank! Rising Sun Tank!"
Heart-wrenching shouts came from the Independent Brigade.
Many of the veterans who joined the Independent Brigade had dealt with these steel bastards before and knew how terrifying these steel killing machines were.
In the Central Xia army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, the moment Shengyang sent out their tanks, it meant a large number of deaths and the loss of their position.
In front of them, there were more than 20 tanks launching a group attack. This was something that had never happened in any previous battle.
At a distance of 500 meters, the Independent Brigade's concentrated bullets hit the tank's armor, sending sparks flying, but they did not cause any damage.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
The advancing Rising Sun tanks suddenly stopped. The tank cannons slowly turned and began to aim at the independent brigade's position and fire.
The Type 97 and Type 89 medium-sized tanks '57mm tank cannons and the Type 95 light tank's 37mm tank cannons weren't too big.
However, the high-explosive bombs still destroyed several general-purpose machine guns of the independent brigade. The Rising Sun infantry behind them also used the cover of the tank body to kill the independent brigade soldiers.
Seeing that ordinary bullets could not pose a threat to the Rising Sun tank, a company commander of the Independent Brigade shouted,"
"Mortars, mortars! Attack the tanks!"
After receiving the order, the four 82mm mortars equipped in each company began to fire at the Rising Sun tanks.
"Boom, boom, boom…"
Explosions continued to ring out around the Rising Sun tanks, but none of the shells hit the tanks. Instead, the infantry behind the tanks were heavily injured by the shrapnel.
The sudden attack from the mortars caused the tanks to start firing again.
At this time, it was quite difficult to use mortars to attack a moving tank. It was possible that hundreds of rounds would not hit a single target.
Not only did the mortars fail to destroy the tanks, but they also exposed their position. The counterattack from the Type 92 artillery of the Rising Sun Army followed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The three artillery platoons that participated in the attack were in flames, and they suffered heavy losses…
