Outside the Tiger Camp stronghold, the new regiment had been assembled and was under Lu Yan's command.
When they saw the Eighth Route Army appear outside the Tiger Camp stronghold, the Japanese in the stronghold immediately sent a distress call to Pingan County.
Because they knew that the Japanese in the surrounding strongholds would not be able to resist the new group, the Japanese in the Tiger Camp strongholds immediately asked for help from Pingan County.
The commander of the city's garrison regiment, Taichi Hirata, immediately ordered a large group of garrison troops and a fake legion to go to the rescue.
The weather was cold at the moment. The Japanese in the Tiger Camp thought that the new regiment would pursue a quick battle like last time.
However, the plan of the new regiment was to surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements. They would split up and take out all the Japanese strongholds and turrets near Taihang Mountain. Therefore, the special squad did not have any special mission and was in the synthetic camp.
Not far from the front gate of the Tiger Camp stronghold, the soldiers of the synthetic battalion had already set up an offensive position.
With the painful lesson from last time, the Japanese had also built two defensive lines outside the Tiger Camp stronghold. In addition to the high ground of the stronghold and a few heavy machine guns in the turret, the Japanese's defensive firepower was still very strong.
Moreover, the Japanese had also put on a defensive stance. Although the new regiment did not have more than 1,000 people, the Japanese decided to focus on defense.
Previously, Hirata Taichi had also given an order to immediately request for help if they encountered the new regiment. They would then defend the city and wait for reinforcements.
The Japanese in the Tiger Camp stronghold had their own duties. Together with the puppet army, their defense was indeed as strong as an iron bucket.
However, Lu Yan could not be bothered to look at the Japanese's defense. This level of defense could not withstand the attacks of the heavy artillery.
"Five minutes later, fire at the Tiger Camp stronghold, but each cannon can only fire one round per minute.”
Lu Yan, who was in the trenches, gave the order to fire.
The Tiger Camp stronghold could be completely taken down in less than half an hour, but that was not the main purpose of this trip.
The new regiment would keep pressuring the Tiger Camp base, but they would not destroy it directly. That way, the Japanese would continue to provide support.
Then, they would annihilate the supporting Japanese in one fell swoop and completely destroy the Japanese's military strength.
When the Japanese troops were exhausted to a certain extent, the new regiment would naturally be able to completely eliminate the Japanese forces in this area.
Therefore, the entire new regiment acted at the same time. The synthetic battalion gave pressure, and the other battalions ambushed the Japanese on the way to support them.
"After the bombardment, the four of you quickly remove all the heavy firepower of the Japanese.”Lu Yan then ordered the two sniper teams of the special forces.
Two sniper teams and four M95 sniper rifles were enough to mute the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns and infantry cannons.
These four brothers had superb marksmanship, and with Lu Yan's hands-on guidance, they could shoot anywhere within two thousand meters.
However, the M95 sniper rifle's effective range was only 1,500 meters.
The prelude to the battle was opened by a howitzer that bombarded the Japanese's defensive position.
The Japanese's three infantry cannons and mortars were turned into ruins in an instant.
The light and heavy machine guns in the high ground and the turrets were turned into scrap metal by a few 7.62mm sniper bullets.
Then, all kinds of artillery shells landed on the Japanese's position.
As the smoke dispersed, Lu Yan was a little speechless. The Japanese's defense was too weak. The machine gun towers were destroyed, and the city walls were about to collapse.
"Stop firing!" Lu Yan quickly ordered.”
The firepower of the new group of cannons was too strong. They were really bullying the Japanese.
If there were another two or three rounds of bombardment, the Tiger Camp stronghold would be destroyed.
After this round of bombardment, the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the Tiger Camp stronghold were terrified. They were all trembling in fear.
The fortifications, which they thought were indestructible, were destroyed by a round of artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army. All the heavy firepower was destroyed. What else could they use to fight?
Fortunately, the 8th Route Army stopped their bombardment, or else the stronghold would have been occupied again.
A 122mm howitzer could blast a huge pit 30 meters in diameter and nearly three meters deep. It was not an exaggeration to say that the fortifications built by the Japanese were made of paper in front of it.
In just one round of bombardment, more than half of the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the Tiger Camp stronghold were killed or injured.
If the new heavy artillery company fired at full force, it would only take a minute to completely destroy the Tiger Camp stronghold.
Therefore, for the sake of attacking the reinforcements, Lu Yan urgently called off the bombardment.
The highest-ranking officer in the Tiger Camp stronghold was a Japanese major. He originally thought that as long as the defense was tight, it would be fine. However, after the round of attacks just now, the Japanese major was completely frightened.
He quickly walked to the phone and contacted Ping An County urgently. His tone was especially anxious.“
Commander, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too strong. The fortifications and heavy firearms of the Tiger Camp stronghold have been destroyed. Commander, please rescue them quickly.”
"An infantry brigade of the regiment has already set off. I believe they will reach the Tiger Camp stronghold soon. You must guard it tightly and wait for reinforcements.”
The infantry brigade and puppet army officers of Pingan County were marching toward the Tiger Camp stronghold with all their might. After receiving the telegram from Hirata Taiyi, they continued to speed up.
In the end, it did not take long for the rescue team to be ambushed by a new group.
