The 12th Division.
Liu Jun stood on a high place and looked at the Japanese camp in the distance with a telescope.
"Damn it, what is the Mystic Dragon doing? Are their mortars just for show? He wanted a company commander to charge forward with a machine gun!”
In the distance, at the temporary Japanese camp.
It had to be said that the Japanese's civil engineering was indeed top-notch. They had dug out some foxholes in the short time before they discovered the enemy and exchanged fire.
Then, he used these foxholes to dig holes as he fought, connecting the foxholes together and turning them into trenches.
After about half an hour of fighting, the trenches had begun to expand.
The Japanese team began to stabilize the situation.
The 5th Regiment of the 12th Division attacked for half an hour, but they still could not take down the position.
The Mystic Dragon's attack was blocked and it retreated again, lowering its head dejectedly.
At this moment, the battalion commander walked up to the Mystic Dragon and said,""Enchanting Dragon, is your brain filled with paste? Where's your artillery? Do you have nine lives or what?”
The Mystic Dragon lowered its head and did not dare to speak.
After cursing for a long time, the Battalion Commander shouted at the Enchanted Dragon again,"Go to the back and rest. Fourth Company, Fourth Company!”
"Battalion Commander!" The fourth company commander immediately stood up.
"Go and take down the Japanese's position.”
"Yes, sir!"
Because the 12th Division was moving in a hurry, there were only five regiments that were fighting with the Japanese. The rest of the troops slowly arrived at this time.
However, the location where the Japanese had set up their defensive position was a narrow and long terrain. The main force could not spread out, and the attack of a company of soldiers had reached its limit.
No matter how many people there were, the Japanese could hit them without aiming.
However, with the arrival of the main force, the situation began to change.
"Wait until the artillery fire is over before charging. Remember, this is our last chance. If we can't take the position, the Tank Regiment will come!”
"Yes, sir!"
The 4th Company Commander nodded and walked out with his hat.
"Fourth Company, follow me."
At the rear of the 5th Regiment.
The cannons had already been unloaded and entered the artillery position.
A group of cannons aimed at the Japanese camp in the distance.
These cannons were all 105mm howitzers produced in Fengtian Army factories.
If it weren't for Tang Hanming, these things would have been part of the Japanese army.
"Lock onto Zhu Yuan!"
"Lock onto Zhu Yuan!"
“……”
"Release!"
"Release!"
"Release!"
Following the order of the messenger.
A regiment of thirty-six 105mm howitzers began to bombard the Japanese's position.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……”
A series of explosions sounded in the Japanese camp.
The fire from the explosion, as well as the corpses and soil of the Japanese, flew everywhere.
The temporary trenches dug by the Japanese could not withstand the bombardment of the 105mm howitzer.
With one shot, the trenches that the Japanese had dug up were blown up.
After the 10 rounds of bombardment, the 4th Company Commander immediately stood up and charged towards the Japanese camp.
The soldiers of the other five regiments looked at the Japanese camp that had been plowed by the artillery fire and looked at each other.
"I've never fought such a rich battle before.”
"In the past, when we fought this kind of positional warfare, we didn't have so much artillery support. It's already considered God's blessing to give us two artillery shells.”
The soldiers of the Northeast Army kept complaining.
They were all veterans. Without comparison, there would be no harm.
In comparison, Zhang Xiaoliu and Old Shuai were indeed very stingy.
Fengtian's arsenal could produce all kinds of artillery shells and bullets.
There was no lack of ammunition.
However, in a war, they would rather use human lives than cannons.
In the words of the soldiers of the Northeast Army, they had never fought such a battle.
This time, the soldiers of the 4th Company easily charged into the formation.
However, the first line of defense had already exceeded their mission expectations. The second line of defense had already been established.
Moreover, after the 4th Company charged into the enemy's position, the Japanese artillery started to bombard their original position.
Four consecutive mistakes were unexpected and the losses were heavy.
Although Tang Hanming was in Fengtian City, someone would report to him about the situation on the battlefield almost every ten minutes.
The telegrams never stopped.
"Damn it, the Japanese are indeed a tough nut to crack after losing their equipment advantage.”
Tang Hanming frowned as he read the contents of the telegram.
Since the start of the war, the Japanese had lost about a brigade, but the 12th Division had lost about 300 soldiers and 500 injured.
It was almost a fifty-fifty chance against the Japanese.
This was also based on the superior firepower and the fact that the clone officer was leading the charge.
If they didn't have enough firepower, the casualties would be even greater.
"Commander, should we let the chariot regiment go? The Japanese did not have any heavy weapons, and more than 30 Renault tanks could easily break through the Japanese's position.”
Tang Hanming thought for a moment and said," Don't let the chariot regiment move out for the time being. Let the 12th Division continue to attack. Without experiencing the test of blood and fire, they won't be able to form an army!"”
When Tang Hanming made this decision, he had also made up his mind.
After all, this would increase the number of casualties.
However, a strong army was definitely not formed through training. It was formed through fighting!
Moreover, they had only just arrived. In the future, when they faced the Mao Xiong army, the artillery fire they faced would be ten times, a hundred times more ferocious than the Japanese artillery fire!
