After last night's battle, the entire front of the Tashan defense line was covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
The white snow in front of the camp was dyed red by their blood.
The 20th Regiment started preparing for the attack early in the morning.
The 20th Division's major general, Shichiro Shichida, received a call early in the morning.
"Hey, don't worry, Commander. I will destroy this Northeast Army as soon as possible.”
After putting down the phone, Shichiro took a deep breath.
Even the fierce attacks last night were unable to break through the Northeast Army's position.
The opponent's firepower was too fierce.
It seemed that it would be very difficult to achieve his goal without paying a price.
Could it be that this Tashan was harder to deal with than the 203 Highland back then?
Although he could not be compared to the God of War, Naimu Xidian, he was confident in facing the Chinese people who were known as the sick men of East Asia.
"Major General Fujita, Colonel Honkawa, I'll leave the rest of the artillery preparation to you.
The Chinese also had a large number of large-caliber heavy cannons. If they were underestimated, they would suffer a huge loss.
He had to be especially careful of the other party's train cannon.”
This was what they feared.
The power of the train cannon was too great. They had experienced it at the Jinzhou railway station.
A single shot could even make them tremble in fear.
"Don't worry," Shigeru Fujita nodded."Our cannons are all set up on the reverse slope behind the high ground. Their cannons can't hit us."”
Benchuan, the Field Artillery Regiment Commander, nodded in agreement.
The artillery regiment was equipped with 36 Type 91 105mm howitzers.
In addition, the 17th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment had 11 150mm heavy artillery, which was enough to suppress the Northeast Army.
Tashan, which was basically defenseless, could not withstand the roar of these large-caliber heavy cannons.
This was also the reason why Shichida Ichiro was so confident in his military pledge.
However, he seemed to have forgotten something.
At this moment, the Tashan camp was already empty.
All the soldiers of the new division had retreated from their positions before dawn.
Soon, the Japanese artillery began to move.
One by one, artillery shells began to bombard the Tashan camp.
In an instant, Ta Shan's artillery fire roared as if it was plowing the ground.
Shichida Ichiro was very satisfied as he looked at the smoke-filled Tashan position. Fujita Shigeru and the others who were directing the bombardment were also very satisfied.
As the new division commander, Huang Huanran was also very satisfied.
"Order the artillery to launch a counterattack.”
The main reason he gave this order was to make it seem like they were still in the camp.
Of course, the main target was still the Japanese artillery.
In just a few minutes, shells from the New First Division and the Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment began to smash into the exposed Japanese artillery positions.
Even though the Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment had also used 240mm caliber super heavy howitzers.
However, these cannonballs were either blocked by the high ground or swept over the high ground to smash behind them.
It had to be said that the artillery position chosen by the Japanese was very ingenious.
Even if the artillery calibrators discovered it, they wouldn't be able to hit it.
However, they could fire at the Tashan camp without any fear of the new division's counterattack.
Back when they were fighting the 38th Brigade at Shanhaiguan, the new division had chosen the artillery position like this.
"The Chinese people's cannons are indeed very powerful, but they can't do anything to us now.”
Shichida Ichiro was very pleased with himself. He had finally vented his anger from the night raid.
The commander of the Northeast Army was probably going crazy with anger.
Shanhaiguan Military Airport.
A 250-kilogram bomb was mounted on each side of the wing of the P-51D Mustang fighter jet.
Some Mustang fighters also chose to mount eight aerial rockets.
This time, their main mission was to bombard the ground.
Their target was naturally the Japanese's artillery position.
As long as they removed this greatest threat, the entire twentieth division would be at their mercy.
"Falcon Team A1001 requesting to take off!”
" Wind speed is good. You are allowed to take off."
The first P-51D Mustang glided on the dirt track and successfully rose into the air after gliding for hundreds of meters.
Amidst the many runways, Mustang fighters rose into the air.
In less than ten minutes, the 40 Mustang fighters took off and formed a formation in the air.
"Last time, the Japanese artillery was lucky. They hid very quickly and did not find them.
This time, aim and blow them up. We can't let them off.”
"Don't worry, captain. We're professionals in dropping bombs at low altitudes. We guarantee that the error won't be higher than 20 meters.”
40 Mustangs flew towards Ta Shan.
A distance of about 100 kilometers was only about 10 minutes for the high-speed flying Mustang.
They were the first to discover that the Mustang fleet was not a ground force, but a Japanese artillery reconnaissance balloon.
The artillery observer floating in the air could not help but narrow his eyes when he saw the Mustang fleet.
"The Chinese fighters are here. There are a lot of them."
"Nani? Is the Chinese fighter here?"
Fujita Shigeru raised his binoculars and looked at the sky.
When he saw the Mustang fighter jets, he couldn't help but gasp.
This was the first time they had seen the air force of the border guards.
He had originally thought that the fighter jets of the Northeast Army were all old biplane fighters like the Liao F1.
Therefore, they did not think that this small plane would pose too much of a threat to them.
But now, he realized that it was not the case at all.
He didn't know anything about metal single-wing aircraft, but he recognized the bombs hanging on the racks.
Through the comparison of their sizes, they knew that these bombs were not small.
There were also some aircraft with long and thin cylindrical bombs hanging on the racks.
This was already a great threat to them.
And most importantly, they had very few anti-air cannons.
The Mustang fighters did not give them much time.
After confirming the location of the Japanese artillery position.
The Mustang fleet began to pull up collectively.
Captain Xu Tianhang once again took the lead, piloting the Mustang to launch a dive attack.
A 250-kilogram heavy bomb fell from the sky.
Xu Tianhang's low-altitude dive had a very high hit rate.
The bomb was sent into the emplacement of a Type 38 150mm howitzer.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, countless gravel and soil flew into the sky.
In the huge explosion, the heavy cannon could be seen to have been blown apart.
Needless to say, the Japanese artillery was even more powerful.
Following that, the Japanese artillery was bombarded by an overwhelming bombardment.
