"Let the artillery fire and let the 2nd regiment join the attack.”
When Jiro Tamato saw this, he immediately issued a new order.
During the Battle of Da Shun, the situation was much more tragic than now.
Even though the firepower of the Northeast Army was fierce, a little beyond expectations, so what?
Hearing that the Second Regiment would also join the attack, everyone was filled with confidence in this attack.
At certain times, numbers could offset the enemy's advantage in firepower.
Under the attack of two elite regiments, they believed that this first line of defense would not be able to hold on for long.
The Second Field Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army fired at the position again.
The infantry and artillery coordination tactics were not difficult for the well-trained Japanese soldiers.
The artillery shells continued to fall into the formation, and many firing points were immediately blown up.
This caused the firepower of the group to gradually weaken.
"Requesting artillery support!"
Looking at the soldiers who had died in the bombardment, the 1st regiment commander's heart bled.
Because the Japanese army was wary of the Northeast Army, they were also equipped with a large number of artillery.
Therefore, their artillery positions were scattered and well hidden.
However, the Artillery Division still managed to find out about their positions through various means.
When they received a call for help, the cannon group also started to move.
"This time, we must take out the Japanese artillery in one fell swoop and beat down their arrogance.”
After Huang Baitao saw the battle report from the front line, he decisively issued this order.
The Japanese army began their general attack. If they did not destroy the enemy's artillery, the casualties of the first regiment would probably be unbearable for him and Qin Yi.
Now, Qin Yi only had this one division of troops in his hands. The death of any one of them was enough to make his heart ache.
Before he left, he repeatedly reminded Huang Baitao to minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
After all, these elite soldiers were not so easy to replenish.
The first and second light artillery battalions counterattacked the Japanese artillery.
The two artillery battalions were equipped with a total of 24 M101 105mm light howitzers.
This type of artillery had a range of up to 11 kilometers. It was the main artillery of the US army during World War II, enough to crush the old Japanese artillery.
"Set up the shooting elements, bearing angle 27-00, firing angle 06-80, each cannon fire one round!”
"Release!"
As the flag was waved, the muzzles of the cannons shook and flames spewed out.
The cannonballs flew out of the barrels and pierced through the air, whistling toward the various target positions several kilometers away.
The cannonball rubbed against the air in the sky, emitting a sharp whistle.
"Baka, the Chinese people's cannonballs, immediately find the Chinese people's artillery positions and counterattack.”
The Japanese artillery positions that were in full swing immediately began to operate at high speed.
"Boom!"
A cannonball landed two hundred meters to the east of the artillery position.
Its immense power instantly raised a pillar of dust into the sky.
"This is archery. Baka, find the other party's scouts.”
Looking at the dust pillar behind them, the Japanese artillery commander's expression was solemn.
Judging from its power, its caliber was at least 100mm.
Moreover, judging from the firepower arrangement of the enemy's frontline, they probably had a lot of hidden cannons, enough to pose a threat to them.
In less than half a minute, three shells had already landed around the camp, and the impact point was getting closer and closer.
The fourth test shot seemed to have eyes as it landed accurately in the pit of a Type 38 75mm field cannon.
With the explosion, the cannons and the Japanese artillery were torn to pieces. They didn't even have time to scream.
The fourth hit was like a beacon for the cannons at the rear.
Thus, a new round of salvo began.
Just as the Japanese were busy transferring the artillery, ten 105mm grenades fell and covered the small artillery position.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells continued to explode in this area, and in an instant, the Japanese artillery positions were blown up.
After several rounds of salvos, the entire Japanese artillery position became full of potholes, and there were Japanese corpses and artillery parts everywhere.
In less than five minutes, all the exposed Japanese artillery positions suffered a devastating blow.
The entire artillery regiment had lost almost all of its thirty cannons, leaving only two lucky ones.
The regimental commander of the 2nd Artillery Regiment felt like crying when he saw this scene.
"The firepower of this group of Chinese people is too fierce. They actually have so many cannons.”
Major General Jiro Duomen was surprised.
When the Northeastern Army left the northeast, they were in a hurry. They did not bring many heavy weapons with them, which became their spoils of war.
What was going on with the cannons here? Judging from the commotion just now, there were at least 30 heavy cannons.
At this moment, the battle at the front line had also entered a white-hot state.
The Japanese army had invested two infantry regiments to attack the first regiment's position, which still put a lot of pressure on them.
