Thousands of Japanese soldiers formed an orderly attack formation.
All of them were heading towards the same goal, which put a lot of pressure on the group.
At the rear of the Japanese attack force, a dozen light artillery of various types were deployed. Most of them were mortars, with only two 70mm infantry cannons.
"Shoot!"
With this order, the dozen cannons began to roar.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
The mortar shell cut through the air and made a unique whistling sound.
The soldiers on the battlefield reacted very quickly and quickly went into the nearest anti-cannon hole.
Only a few surveillance posts were left in the camp.
"Boom boom boom"
The artillery shells landed densely on the camp, instantly setting off a burst of fire.
Soil, gravel, and wood chips flew in all directions under the air waves generated by the explosion, and smoke filled the air above the camp.
"Regiment commander, should we inform the artillery to destroy their artillery positions?”
The first leader put down his binoculars and snorted. He said with a hint of disdain,"These are the only skills the Japanese have. How can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Let our artillery fight with the Japanese.”
Each battalion of the First Regiment had a firearms company, equipped with a total of six 81mm rice-made mortars.
Each company was equipped with a weapon platoon and three 60mm mortars.
This did not include the six 106mm mortars equipped by the regiment headquarters.
There were more than 50 mortars.
The Japanese 70mm mortars were nothing in front of them.
"Target! Japanese mortar position, five rapid fire.”
"Release!"
"Bang bang bang"
The mortar shells flew out of the barrel and headed straight for the exposed Japanese mortar positions.
Dozens of cannonballs flew toward them.
After hearing the roars, the Japanese artillery positions suddenly became chaotic.
They did not expect to be met with such a fierce counterattack after firing a few rounds.
But wasn't this group of Northeastern soldiers a little too many cannons?
Could it be that Zhang Shao Shuai had gathered a large number of heavy weapons in Jin Zhou?
The artillery positions of the Japanese army suffered a devastating blow in an instant.
Dozens of mortar shells covered the area.
A wave of artillery fire destroyed more than half of the artillery position. The artillery of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment was heavily injured and began to pull their cannons back in panic.
The artillery of both sides had a clear winner.
Commander Hisashi Yamaoka was shocked as he looked at the cannonballs that kept falling behind him.
At this moment, he did not know how to describe his feelings.
Why were these Northeastern soldiers even more generous than they were? It was as if the shells were free.
On the frontal battlefield, the contest between the two sides began as the Japanese attack team got closer and closer.
Without the Japanese artillery, the soldiers on the battlefield also came out and entered their respective firing points.
When the Japanese army was still more than 200 meters away from the position, the commanders at all levels of the position gave the order to open fire.
The machine guns on the battlefield were the first to play a symphony of bullets.
Although the higher-ups had given the order to hide some of their firepower, there were still nearly a hundred machine guns on the battlefield.
Suddenly, the bullets turned into the scythe of the Grim Reaper and waved at the Japanese army's attack formation.
Looking at the approaching land, the Japanese army accelerated the pace of the attack.
However, they did not expect the slope in front of them to erupt with such fierce firepower.
They were caught off guard.
The Japanese soldiers at the front were swept away in a short period of time.
Bullets rained down on them. They had no cover on the ice and could only use their bodies to block the bullets.
However, what greeted them next was an even denser barrage of bullets.
The soldiers who were waiting at the front line began to fire their M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles.
The Japanese soldiers on the ice were no different from the moving targets they usually shot at.
Bullet shells fell one after another, accompanied by the fall of Japanese soldiers.
At this moment, the Japanese army was completely stunned.
In less than half a minute, they had lost more than 200 soldiers.
When they attacked the North Camp, they did not suffer such heavy losses.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
The order the 2nd Cavalry Regiment received was to test the firepower, not to take down this line of defense.
Commander Hisashi Yamaoka looked at the falling soldiers and gave the order to retreat.
They had completed the order to test the firepower.
However, the price he had to pay was too great for him to bear.
However, how could it be so easy for them to evacuate on the ice layer of the Liao River?
Dozens of mortars behind them also joined the battle.
The artillery shells landed accurately in the crowd, demonstrating the superb skills of the artillery.
The Japanese army paid an unusually heavy price to evacuate from the ice layer of the Liaohe River.
There were more than 1,500 people in the attack, but less than half of them had returned to the rear.
Although the battle lasted less than half an hour, it left a deep impression on the Japanese army.
