My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 310
On the 233 high ground, a group of artillerymen were slowly moving forward with several 92 infantry guns.

The frontline position is still filled with a life-devouring poisonous mist, but in the poisonous mist, one can vaguely see a firm figure, wearing gas masks lying motionless in the trench, as if they are integrated with the position.

Same as the situation in the third regiment, except for the dead and injured, most of the soldiers in the second regiment did not withdraw from the battle, and remained on the front line under the leadership of their respective officers.

"Okay, here in Gada!" When the artillerymen crossed the ridgeline, the leading officer immediately ordered loudly.

"Captain Li, how do you use these shells?" An artillery lieutenant asked anxiously, and he brought up the ammunition box with the skull pattern printed on it.

"How to fight, how to fight, you haven't played with howitzers before? Sloppy, half-propelled and reloaded, the target... the attacking route of the little devil in the front!"

Li Liansheng's eyes were particularly solemn, and the voice under the gas mask seemed a bit muffled. This time he was transferred from the artillery regiment in the rear to the front line to direct the shelling, in order to retaliate with an eye and let the little devil taste the evil he sowed.

The lieutenant was honest, he opened the lid of the box with two bangs, revealing the neatly arranged special shells underneath, not to mention picking one up with one hand and stuffing it into the barrel.

Li Liansheng was so frightened by his rude operation, he quickly scolded: "What the hell!? Why are you a bastard? This is a poison gas bomb. Be careful when you put on your gloves. Don't be Japanese. Beat me down and kill me!"

The lieutenant patted his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, quickly put down the shells and took protective measures as instructed, and the other infantry guns also got ready as usual, adjusting the shooting angle.

The range of the Type 92 infantry gun is limited. In addition, to launch poisonous gas bombs, the propellant is afraid to use full charge, which further affects its range. It can only pose a threat to the enemy when it is close to the front line.

However, this mustard gas shell is also very standardized. The 70mm caliber is just suitable for firing 92 infantry guns. As long as the Japanese dare to attack, the infantry guns placed on the top of the mountain will definitely make them unable to eat.

Japanese planes passed overhead from time to time, and the anti-aircraft guns on the ground were still fighting desperately. Fortunately, the Type [-] infantry gun in Li Liansheng's hand was small and easy to conceal, and the Japanese pilots did not notice them.

The southerly wind was blowing slowly on the hillside. The situation on the 233 highland was much better than that of the third regiment. The poisonous fog had gradually dissipated, and the vision ahead became clearer and clearer.

But what is strange is that the Japanese army did not attack the high ground at this time.

"Something's wrong... the little devil is a bit evil?" Li Liansheng carefully observed the front through the binoculars. The poisonous fog was almost gone, but the Japanese didn't move. This is unreasonable.

boom!
boom!
boom!
At this moment, the sound of artillery bombardment suddenly sounded in the front right. Li Liansheng followed the sound and saw that there was already a sea of ​​flames on the other side of the open field.

"Damn it, it's a bad dish!"

Countless shells fell on the positions of the engineering regiment, like hailstorms from the sky, causing the soldiers below to complain endlessly.

While the bombardment was in progress, the 56th Regiment of the Japanese Army and the 165th Regiment, who had detoured, launched an attack on the Engineer Corps at the same time. What was even more shocking was that the leaders were actually 6 Type 12 medium tanks and [-] Type [-] tanks. light tank.

Their speed was extremely fast, and they rushed into the front 100 meters of the position when the shelling stopped. This scene made the soldiers of the engineering regiment who had just reacted from the shelling frightened.

"Regiment...regiment leader, are you still fighting?"

"Withdraw! Quickly retreat!"

The disheveled Ah Yi quickly gave the order to retreat, and the other party even gave a fart when the king exploded.Needless to say at this moment, the soldiers hurriedly packed up their equipment and evacuated the position quickly.

It's no wonder that he fled timidly, after all, Liao Mingyu had ordered him before the battle to retreat if he couldn't beat the next wave of attacks from the little devils.

Besides, with the cooperation of artillery fire and the two regiments, nearly 20 tracked tank vehicles attacked them. Down will only be a dead end.

"Crack creak creak..."

"Boom! Boom!"

The track creaked harshly as it pressed against the ground. Occasionally, one or two S-type mines would pop up and explode in the air, but the shrapnel hit the armor of the tank without any pain.

The mines and explosives planted by the engineering regiment in front of the position did not play much role at this moment, and were quickly eliminated as the enemy tank convoy passed by, while the Japanese infantry followed closely behind.

As expected, the position of the engineering regiment was easily taken by the Japanese in less than half an hour.

I thought that the main attack direction of the Japanese army would be here in the main position, but at this moment everyone realized that they were playing infrasound.

"Haha! Ushido, have you seen this? This is what my 18th Division should look like. The warriors of the Japanese Empire are the ones who look down upon us."

Shinichi Tanaka laughed out loud, as if he was showing off with a proud expression.

"Hey, it's really a blessing for the Japanese Empire that the commander of the division is so far-sighted." Chief of Staff Ushishima struck while the iron was hot, and quickly offered a flattery. He knew exactly what the headstrong Tanaka wanted to hear most.

Tanaka Shin smiled and said nothing, and hibernated for two days in order to wait for the support from the rear to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

This time he not only called for an air strike, but also an armored force quietly arrived in Mangshi. On this plain, tanks will be the absolute protagonists. The enemy would never expect him to have this trump card.

"Reporting to the head of the division, this is the information just sent by the reconnaissance section. A large number of sending and receiving signals were found 18 kilometers northwest of our department, which is suspected to be an enemy command unit."

At this time, another staff officer ran over and delivered a letter of information.

Tanaka took a closer look, and quickly sketched out the location of the battlefield in his mind. If it is not bad, this should be the enemy's headquarters.

"Yoxi, send the approximate coordinates to Kato, and order the chariot brigade to continue to advance westward, and the 56th Regiment will follow behind to coordinate operations!"

"The 165th Regiment stabilized the rear and launched a tentative attack on the high ground. Let the Mountain Artillery Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Brigade move forward, and the division headquarters moved forward in the same way. The frontal battlefield continued to exert pressure. I want to see the Chinese on the hillside. Do you still have the courage to continue to defend after the back road is cut off?"

At this moment, Tanaka's confidence doubled, and the right wing of the Huaxia people had been lost. The 56th Regiment and the armored force would continue to advance toward the rear of the open field like a sharp sword, and hit Huanglong directly, while the 165th Regiment went around to the rear of the 233 Heights to stab the enemy's chrysanthemum.

Judging from the situation, the opponent's defeat is a foregone conclusion. With the rear route cut off, no army can remain calm. As long as the army's morale is disturbed, the defense line will be wiped out in an instant...
