"What's that sound?"
The commander of the 73rd regiment was inspecting the attacking troops when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound above his head.
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the Internet. However, just one glance almost scared their souls out.
In the sky, cannonballs whistled as they flew towards them.
The hot cannonball flew in the air, leaving a long trail behind it.
Like falling meteors, dozens of 105mm shells rained down.
The regimental commander's pupils constricted to the size of a needle tip, and his heart almost stopped.
"Cannon…"
A shrill scream came out of his mouth.
In an instant, the place where the 73rd Regiment had gathered became a sea of hellfire.
The artillery shells exploded in the crowd, and the flames of the explosion continued to rise into the sky, reaping the lives of the Japanese.
The 54 105mm howitzers were quite powerful.
The other 12 155mm howitzers and 12 240mm cannons were aimed at the Japanese artillery.
Twenty-four large-caliber high-explosive howitzers roared like a train and smashed into the Japanese artillery position set up behind a valley.
Here, the Japanese army concentrated 18 cannons, each of which was very far apart.
They even separated the artillery and ammunition, and each emplacement was fortified.
However, when the 240mm grenades fell, these fortifications seemed so fragile.
"Cannon…"
The Japanese soldiers who were deploying their artillery and digging their artillery positions looked at the incoming artillery shells in horror.
Under their desperate and terrified gazes, more than ten 155mm howitzers were the first to land.
Instantly, the entire artillery position was enveloped in artillery fire.
"Boom boom boom"
The accuracy of the artillery of the new division was still quite high. Even without any practice shooting, it still accurately covered the entire Japanese artillery position.
In less than ten seconds, 12 240mm high explosive howitzers landed.
The damage of such a shell was enough to cover the size of a football field.
"Boom boom boom"
The earth shook and the mountains shook. The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. It was as if doomsday had arrived.
At this moment, it could be used to describe the scene of the Japanese artillery position.
Under the coverage of the 240mm artillery shells, the artillery positions built by the Japanese army seemed so ridiculous.
Under the huge explosion, many Japanese 150mm heavy howitzers were either overturned by the huge explosion or disintegrated in the close range explosion.
When the first round of artillery bombardment ended, the Japanese artillery positions were already in a mess.
There were Japanese soldiers scattered everywhere, and cannons that had been blown away or exploded into parts.
Even the sturdy 150mm heavy artillery could not withstand the explosion of a 240mm shell at close range.
"This is impossible, how is this possible…"
The sudden bombardment stunned the 38th mixed brigade of the Japanese army.
The arrogant mountain villager was now even more dumbfounded as he looked at this scene in shock.
Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Major General Buntaro Murakami, his eyes as if he wanted to eat him up.
"Brigade Leader? This is the cowardly Northeast Army you told me about? Are these the heavy cannons you mentioned?”
The 73rd regiment was bombarded by heavy artillery, and his artillery position was bombarded by large-caliber heavy artillery.
Although he did not know the exact number, he could tell from the density of the artillery fire at the two locations.
The enemy was equipped with at least 40 cannons, and all of them were at least 100mm heavy artillery.
Kimura Buntaro's face was filled with shock, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Then, he suddenly reacted.
"Baka, I'm afraid we've been tricked.”
The enemy had suddenly taken the initiative to launch an artillery attack, and they had hidden so many large-caliber heavy cannons.
This was probably the signal to launch a general attack.
They were probably already surrounded.
"Immediately organize all the troops to move in.”
At this moment, Kimura Buntaro was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
The artillery continued to fire at the Japanese soldiers at a rate of 1-2 rounds per minute.
The 73rd Regiment, which was enveloped by the artillery fire, could no longer be described as miserable.
Their gathering place was already wide, and there was no cover or cover around them.
Encountering such a large-scale bombardment in the wild, and it was even a 105mm howitzer, the scene was imaginable.
After several rounds of bombardment, the entire 73rd regiment was scattered. Their corpses and craters were everywhere.
And this was just the appetizer. The real main course had already arrived.
Huang Huanran looked at the Japanese Army's 73rd Regiment under the artillery fire and smiled.
"Order the first tank regiment to attack. The first and second tank regiments will cover and destroy this Japanese army regiment first.”
"Order the 3rd Regiment to attack and take the Japanese's retreat. Surround the Japanese in this pottery village and turn this place into their graveyard.”
After receiving the order, all the troops began to move.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The diesel engine burst out with power, and T34 medium-sized tanks jumped out of the position one after another.
Like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain, the Growler charged towards the Japanese Army's 73rd Regiment, which was shrouded in artillery fire.
Combat with infantry cannons was just a basic training subject for the new division.
"What's that?"
The movement of the Tao Zhuang camp immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese scouts.
However, when they saw the tanks driving on the flat snow and the attacking troops behind them, they were dumbfounded.
"War chariot? What kind of war chariot is this?"
Kimura Buntaro and the mountain villager also saw this scene through the binoculars.
The flood of steel swept over, causing them a great shock and impact.
They had seen tanks before. As an industrial country, Japan was equipped with a small number of tanks.
However, their chariots were like little puddings in front of these chariots.
Was the person in front of them really a Chinese?
However, now was not the time to discuss these issues.
With such a large-scale attack, their 38 mixed regiment was probably in imminent danger.
"Request for help, immediately send a request for help to the Kwantung Army headquarters.”
