The Kwantung Army's 2nd Independent Aerial Squadron faced the attack of 54 Type 88 cannons and left six Type 87 Bombers behind before leaving in a sorry state.
The battle on the ground had also entered a white-hot state.
At this moment, the Japanese army still had no intention of retreating in the face of fierce firepower.
Instead, he continued to charge forward without any regard for his life.
Because they were only about a hundred meters away from the camp.
The front of the camp was also covered with their corpses.
Some of the Japanese soldiers even used the corpses in front of the position as cover to suppress the position.
At this moment, several 105mm high explosive grenades exploded a few hundred meters in front of the camp.
Under the bombardment of the large-caliber artillery shells, an empty space was blasted out in the midst of the Japanese charging troops.
All that was left were craters, broken limbs, and corpses.
Although the Japanese army was at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, they still put a lot of pressure on the First Regiment without the advantage of artillery.
Huang Huanran chose to focus on stability and let the artillery of the second regiment support the first regiment.
The M101 105mm howitzer had a maximum range of 11 kilometers and could completely bombard the Japanese army from the rear.
However, even without the support of artillery fire, the First Regiment could still defend the first line of defense.
"Thomas is up. Those who need to change guns, change guns.”
At each position, there was a weapon box with a Thomas submachine gun.
It was to achieve absolute firepower suppression against the Japanese army in close combat.
The firepower of the Ziggs was quite fierce. It had a combat firing rate of 720 rounds and an effective range of 200 meters.
The soldiers raised their Thomas submachine guns.
The Japanese army felt what was called absolute firepower.
The concentrated bullets mixed with the tracers shot towards the Japanese army like a chain of fire.
The Japanese army's 38-man army was completely beaten until they could not raise their heads.
In the following time, 100 meters was the line that the Japanese attack group could not cross.
Finally, the 76th Japanese regiment could not withstand the casualties and retreated.
When they retreated to the rear, the 3800-man regiment was only left with about 3000 men. The strength of a brigade had almost been wiped out.
This casualty also made the regiment commander of the 76th regiment tremble in fear.
Were they really facing weak Chinese people? Why was their firepower so fierce?
Meanwhile, Buntaro Murakami was furious.
"Baka, Baka, all of them deserve to die. That Zhang Xiaoliu deserves to die. He gave all the rapid-fire weapons of the Northeast Army to these people and tried to stop us with this method.”
"Order the troops to continue attacking. Let them know the power of the imperial army.”
In the following time, the Japanese army launched wave after wave of charges.
However, other than the corpses left behind in front of the camp, there was still no movement.
However, Buntaro Murakami did not fly into a rage. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
This was because he realized that the firepower of the first regiment was weaker than before, and it was getting weaker and weaker.
What did this mean? It meant that they did not have many bullets left.
Looking at the setting sun, he nodded and said,""Stop the attack and prepare to attack Jiujiang River at night. How are the casualties?”
"Brigade commander, the 73rd regiment suffered 874 casualties, the 76th regiment suffered 1147 casualties, the 2nd Artillery Squadron lost 7 Type 91 Howitzers, and the Artillery Squadron suffered 57 casualties.”
When he heard this number, even though Murakami did not care about the lives of the soldiers, he felt dizzy.
2,000 people, 2,000 casualties in just one afternoon.
Their exploration team only had about 5000 people, and that was almost half of the total.
However, he would not give up because he had already seen the dawn of victory.
Huang Huanran looked at the officer who was packing up and said,"It's about time. Tell the First Regiment to retreat at 10 o'clock and move the line of defense to Tao Village. Then, we'll wait for the enemy to enter the trap.“
If he took the initiative to retreat, the arrogant Japanese army would definitely think that they were going to die.
They would definitely fall into the pockets that he had set up in the pottery village.
Moreover, the mission of the Jiujiang River defense line was to consume a wave of the Japanese army's effective strength, and now it had been achieved.
In the early hours of the morning, the Japanese 73rd regiment rushed to the position without firing a shot and successfully occupied the undefended position group.
"The Chinese retreated?"
Buntaro Murakami's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said,""Yuxi, they definitely can't keep up with their ammunition. Let the soldiers rest for the night and attack Shanhaiguan tomorrow morning.”
Not long after, an officer walked in and said,""Brigade Leader, our reinforcements have arrived.”
"They actually came so quickly?" asked Buntaro Murakami happily. That's great. I'll personally welcome them.”
On Zhang Xueming's side, it was a new day of signing in.
Now, he would wait for the check-in to be completed before going to bed every day. Otherwise, he would keep thinking about the reward for the check-in.
"Registration successful. Congratulations on obtaining the T34 Tank Regiment.”
Seeing this reward, Zhang Xueming was very excited.
They finally signed in to the tank unit.
This time, he was even more confident in annihilating the enemy's 38th Brigade.
Then, he immediately checked out the T34 tank regiment.
It had three tank battalions, one self-propelled tank battalion, a battalion headquarters, an armored maintenance company, a logistics company, a health company, a mechanized reconnaissance company, and a mechanical engineering company.
The entire regiment was equipped with 65 T-34/85 medium tanks and 21 SU100 tank destructors.
"Order the Independent Tank Regiment 1 to quickly go north to reinforce the new division.”
