After two waves of rocket launchers, the heavy artillery battalion's position had been blasted into scorched earth.
All 12 150mm field howitzers were destroyed.
Out of the 800 soldiers, only less than 100 survived.
This was the power of the rocket launcher. Its surface damage was not something that ordinary artillery could compare to.
Of course, the Japanese had to show their support. They had specially chosen such a narrow depression.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to wipe out this heavy artillery battalion in two rounds.
"Reporting to the brigade leader, the independent heavy artillery brigade is almost completely annihilated.”
Hiraku Yukio's face paled when he heard this.
"How is that possible? How was this possible? Where did the Chinese get their heavy artillery? How was this possible?”
Hiraku Yukio could not accept this fact at all.
Jinzhong was the central area of the entire Jinxi Province, and it was the hinterland of the occupied area.
Even though there were many factions mixed together, the strongest was still theirs.
And from the looks of it, there were at least 30 heavy cannons.
No force could place so many heavy cannons right under their noses without anyone noticing.
Moreover, there were military aircraft patrolling every day, and the target of heavy artillery was so big.
Even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure it out.
The new commander of the 22nd regiment, Hiroshi Ichiro, was rubbing his hands for this battle.
It wasn't easy for him to kill the former commander, Kasahara Koizumi.
Since he had successfully become a full-time employee, he had to perform well.
And this independent regiment was the best opportunity for him to show off.
As long as he could perform well in this battle, he could even enter the eyes of Commander Shinozuka Yoshio.
From then on, he rose to fame and became a famous general of the empire.
However, the sudden or inexplicable bombardment shattered his illusion.
"Brigade commander, are we still going to attack?”
At this moment, Hiraku Yukio was furious.
When he saw Hiroshi Ichiro's old face, he immediately roared,"Baka."
A slap landed on his face.
"Temporarily give up the attack and order the troops to disperse.”
Attack now? If they did not get rid of this mysterious artillery unit, this attack would be suicide.
He really didn't know if this Hiroshi Ichiro's brain was filled with water.
Very soon, the Cavalry Regiment received the latest news.
They found the artillery position of this unknown armed force.
However, the place was already empty.
Moreover, from the situation of the artillery position, the other party did not have so many heavy artillery.
There was simply not enough space in that area to deploy so many heavy cannons.
"Nani? How is this possible?"
But what was with the cannonballs he saw with his own eyes?
This scene was witnessed by everyone.
Some even counted carefully and found that there were a total of 48 shells.
In other words, the enemy had 48 heavy cannons.
How did the enemy hide so many heavy cannons?
And how did he complete the transfer in such a short time?
This was not their Type 92 infantry cannon, which could be dismantled and carried everywhere.
This was a huge thing that weighed at least two tons.
If they wanted to transport it, they had to use a towing vehicle.
Obviously, this was beyond his understanding.
After all, the Katyusha rocket launchers in this time and space were only equipped in the year 41.
Moreover, it was highly confidential at the beginning.
Therefore, the Japanese army did not have the concept of rocket launchers at all.
"Immediately contact the headquarters and request for additional reconnaissance planes to conduct a carpet search of Yangquan. At the same time, report the information here to the headquarters in detail.”
The sudden appearance of this heavy artillery unit would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups.
The incident of the Independent Heavy Artillery Battalion being wiped out would naturally be suppressed.
After all, the destruction of the Independent Heavy Artillery Battalion had nothing to do with his command, so he did not have to bear the responsibility.
In the command center of the Taiyuan First Army.
Commander Shinozuka Yoshio was currently playing Go with the chief of staff of the Huabei branch army, Miyano Doichi, discussing the current situation in Jinxi.
Yamamoto Ichiki listened from the side.
Shinozuka Yoshio had a high opinion of Yamamoto Ichiki's special forces.
However, Miyano Doichi, who had always advocated fighting with the Continental Army, was not interested.
At this moment, an officer walked in with his head lowered. He came to Shinozuka Yoshio's side and whispered a few words.
At the same time, she handed him a telegram from the 4th Brigade.
Shinozuka Yoshio's pupils constricted when he heard that. The black chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard with a thud.
Miyano Doichi and Yamamoto Ichiki's expressions changed slightly.
They all knew that something big had happened.
Otherwise, Shinozuka Yoshio would not have lost his composure like this.
"Commander Shinozuka, what happened?" Miyano asked hurriedly. To actually make you lose your composure like this."
Shinozuka Yoshio came back to his senses and said in a daze,"The Independent Heavy Artillery Battalion was completely annihilated. All the cannons were destroyed, and only 87 people survived.”
"Nani?"
"How is this possible?"
Miyano Doichi and Yamamoto Ichiki couldn't help but exclaim.
This news was like a fantasy story, and it was really hard for them to believe.
