Chapter 120 Open the door and send midnight snack
Wei Heshang ordered the soldiers to move two 81mm heavy mortars onto motorcycles and then march quickly towards the Japanese artillery positions that had been destroyed during the day.
After the scouts confirmed it was safe, the two mortars quickly entered the position, and after a calibration shot, they quickly opened fire at the Japanese camp.
After two minutes of continuous firing, dozens of mortar shells were fired, turning the Japanese camp into a mess.
After the fight, he got on his motorcycle and ran away, quickly moving to the other side of the mountain, where he continued fighting for two minutes.
Kenjiro Keiichiro, who had been shocked during the day, stared with bloodshot eyes, burning with anger!
"Order the 12th Mountain Artillery Squadron to arrive at the battlefield before o'clock tomorrow, and send an infantry battalion for protection. Our transportation line is not safe now!"
Kenjiro Kei Miura has realized that the Eighth Route Army he is fighting against is definitely not the same Eighth Route Army as before. He even needs to have an absolute advantage in manpower and heavy weapons to be sure of taking over the town of Dian Shang.
"Order to strengthen the sentries and expand the alert range to three kilometers. At least make sure the mortars of the Eighth Route Army can't hit our headquarters!"
A strong sense of loss surged in his heart. Before fighting with the Eighth Route Army, he always thought that Nagano Yuichiro was exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and making excuses for his own failure.
Now he feels the same as Yuichiro Nagano and shares the same pain.
Yuichiro Nagano, who was dozens of miles away, seemed to have sensed the crisis facing Kenjiro Keisuke Miura, but he had no time to care.
No matter how the battle in Dianshang Town goes, the attack must be launched on time at 17: the next day at the latest.
Early the next morning, the 60th Independent Infantry Battalion of the 86th Brigade of Changzhi escorted the st Type Artillery Squadron of the division, carrying six Type mountain cannons, and marched towards Dianshang Town.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Captain Kazuo Yamano, the commander of the artillery squadron, stood in front of Kenjiro Keisuke.
"General, the 60-style artillery squadron of the th Brigade Artillery has been ordered to report!"
"Very good, set up artillery positions immediately, suppress the mortars and infantry of the Eighth Route Army, and assist us in launching a general offensive!"
The Type 94 infantry gun had a range of eight kilometers, which was fully capable of hitting the Eighth Route Army's positions, so the artillery positions were set up directly near the camp for easy support.
After Murano Kazuo was ready, he quickly set his target and locked onto the position of the New Second Regiment.
Kenjiro Kei Miura has been in a state of unrest these past two days because of the reconnaissance battalion, and he is feeling very angry.
At this moment, with artillery suppression and a large number of mortars and grenade launchers, he was fully confident that he could take the position of the New Second Regiment.
So he left the remaining 82-odd men of the 83nd and rd Infantry Battalions in the camp to defend the artillery positions and ammunition and supplies.
"Assemble the 84th and 85th Infantry Battalions and prepare to charge! The 86th Infantry Battalion serves as the reserve!"
Kazuo Murano's Type 94 mountain artillery began to suppress the positions of the New Second Regiment from a distance. Fortunately, Kong Jie received news from the headquarters and began digging deep holes early in the morning and made full preparations for anti-artillery defense.
However, the New 2nd Regiment and the Reconnaissance Battalion were still unable to raise their heads.
"Bah, if our independent column's artillery regiment was here, would they still have the chance to show off here?"
"Don't talk too much. The Japanese will be coming soon. Let's use grenades first and then use submachine guns to sweep them!"
"Row!"
Monk Wei is a very flexible person. He can enjoy the cover of artillery fire and can also squat in a defensive cave.
He spat out the vomit in his mouth, stuffed a piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth, and closed his mouth obediently to avoid eating another mouthful of dirt.
Monk Wei pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of the Japanese artillery shells whizzing past. It was obvious that the Japanese had begun to extend their firing.
Monk Wei changed the magazine and pulled the bolt.
"Brothers, be careful, the Japs are coming!"
Monk Wei stood up and stuck his head out, and saw that the whole mountain was filled with shit-yellow devils.
"Brothers, the devils are sending us heads. Light and heavy machine guns are ready!"
The light and heavy machine guns of the New Second Regiment opened fire at the same time, pouring ammunition madly at the Japanese.
The reconnaissance battalion's 95 rifles and sniper rifles also began to fire in bursts, and even light and heavy mortars could find opportunities to annihilate the enemy.
There is no need to aim at all, whether it is a cannonball or a bullet, there is no need to worry about missing the target.
However, the number of Japanese soldiers was too large, and some trenches were breached.
Kong Jie pushed all the reserve troops of the New Second Regiment forward and finally drove the Japanese out of the trenches.
The two sides were like giant beasts with bloodshot eyes, fighting to the death, and it just depended on who would lose their temper first.
Kenjiro Keiichiro looked at the tense battle situation and gritted his teeth.
"The Eighth Route Army is no longer effective. Send the 86th Infantry Battalion to defeat them completely, otherwise the Empire's warriors will have died in vain!"
"General, there is another regiment of the Eighth Route Army on another hillside!"
"Don't worry about it. If they rush down, once you take the position, quickly defeat them directly from the side!"
"Hayi!"
More than 86 men of the 1300th Infantry Battalion assembled and quickly marched toward the hillside. The shit-yellow color on the whole mountain became even darker, making people feel sick.
Kong Jie became anxious as he watched the balance of victory gradually tilt towards the Japanese.
"Captain Wei, quickly contact Lao Ding and have them send out troops quickly! Otherwise, we may not be able to hold this position!"
"Yes!"
Just as Monk Wei was about to contact the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who stayed behind in the New 1st Regiment, four artillery shots rang out from the New 1st Regiment's position.
One shell after another hit the Japanese artillery positions, causing the Japanese artillerymen who were frantically firing at the positions of the New Second Regiment to howl in agony.
Monk Wei was confused and didn't know which god had destroyed the Japanese artillery position, so he quickly hung up the walkie-talkie.
"What's going on? Where did the artillery come from?"
"Battalion Commander, Commander Li also received intelligence from the headquarters this morning, so he asked Instructor Lin to gather twelve 150mm infantry guns from three infantry regiments for support!"
Twelve heavy infantry guns, towed by tractors, quickly maneuvered to the position of the new regiment and lay in ambush.
Only after the Japanese Type 94 mountain artillery was fully deployed and its position was exposed did they decide to destroy it in one fell swoop.
Caliber is justice.
Three salvos from twelve heavy infantry guns directly destroyed the Japanese artillery positions. The chain reaction caused by the shells turned the entire artillery position into a sea of fire.
Kenjiro Keiichiro watched and listened to the deafening explosion, then sat down on a chair with a deathly pale face.
"It's over! The Empire has lost another artillery squadron!"
After destroying the enemy's artillery positions, the 150mm infantry guns began to rapidly fire at the Japanese on the sloping hillside.
A 37-kilogram shell smashed down, splashing out more than 1000 fragments, along with a terrifying shock wave, enough to tear any creature within meters into pieces.
After sweeping away the Japanese troops who were far away from the Second Regiment's position, the artillery turned their guns towards the Japanese camp and began to indiscriminately bombard the tents.
