People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 105 Old Li Sour

Katayama Shotaro became so angry that he wished he could eat Chen Ziyun's artillery troops alive.

Koichi Mori's artillery team was severely cursed by him, and then the artillery team began to shell violently.

Eight mountain cannons and eight field cannons fired grenades and shrapnel at the Jinsui Army's defensive positions one after another!
The Japanese army even fired armor-piercing shells at some possible machine gun fire points.

Compared with the single type of artillery shells in the artillery battalion, the Japanese army has a variety of artillery shells to support operations.

At around 06:30, more than 2000 people from the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army took the lead in attacking.

Behind these puppet troops, more than 1000 troops from two Japanese infantry brigades followed.

Although the Fujita Brigade on the flank suffered relatively large losses, their remaining troops of hundreds of people still attacked from the flank as planned.

It's just that it is not easy for the Fujita brigade to reach the attacking position smoothly.

The frontline artillery observation station began to send news, and Chen Ziyun immediately contacted the second artillery company.

The gunners of each gun immediately ordered the gunners to remove the wet quilt covering the gun barrel, they adjusted the gun, and started shooting again.

The Bofors Mountain Cannon continued to fire before, and the barrel was already hot.

As a last resort, the soldiers could only use wet quilts to cool down the artillery.

"Shoot!" Chen Ziyun, commander of the Artillery Battalion, gave the order.

The six Bofors guns of the Second Artillery Company fired, and this time they fired a barrage.

A series of grenades landed on the way forward of the Fujita Brigade. As these grenades exploded, the Fujita Brigade was blocked and could not move forward.

Up to now, the defense troops of the 358th regiment have also suffered heavy casualties, and they continue to fight, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

The Japanese and puppet troops have strong attacking forces on the front, if the flanks are threatened at this time.

Even if the defensive position is not breached, the defensive troops will suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, Chen Ziyun asked the Second Artillery Company to give full play to its long-range advantage and try its best to prevent the Fujita brigade from approaching.

As long as the Fujita Battalion cannot attack from the flanks, the defensive troops will be able to fully respond to the frontal attack, and the pressure will be reduced.

The Bofors Mountain Cannon continued to bombard, and the grenades were fired one after another. The Fujita Battalion had no way to launch an attack.

It has to be said that the overall performance of the Bofors Mountain Cannon with German blood is absolutely nothing to say.

In the ensuing frontal defense operations, Sun Xiong's artillery fired a series of six Jin orogenic cannons in a scattered support manner.

They built artillery positions at different positions, and single artillery provided artillery support.

A round of grenades continued to hit the Japanese and puppet troops, so as to support the infantry in defensive operations.

The artillery battalion has two artillery companies and twelve 75MM mountain artillery to fully support the operation.

A large number of grenades were fired continuously. They powerfully assisted the infantry to hold their positions and blocked the ferocious attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Six Bofors and six Jin orogenic cannons fought intensively, and the artillery unit became more and more proficient in actual combat.

Under Chen Ziyun's command, the artillery battalion's overall level continued to improve, and they had already become an elite artillery unit.

"Baga, what the hell is the Fujita brigade doing? They have been unable to enter the attacking position for a long time."

"Jin Sui Army artillery unit, these damn artillery units again!"

"Moriki Koichi is an idiot, doesn't he have nothing to do with the artillery units of the Jinsui Army?"

Katayama Shotaro was so angry that his face was livid, and he kept cursing, his eyes were full of killing intent.

Chen Ziyun's artillery unit, however, dealt blows to their attacking troops one after another, completely disintegrating their fierce offensive.

And their artillery team, let alone destroying the artillery of the artillery battalion, there is no way to even suppress the artillery of the artillery battalion.

Under such circumstances, Katayama Shotaro was naturally very dissatisfied with the artillery team.

The Koichi Mori Artillery Corps received combat orders, and they shelled the Artillery Battalion again.

It's just that the artillery battalion keeps changing positions until now, and the Japanese artillery can't lock the specific position.

Their shelling could not have much impact on the artillery battalion.

Especially when the artillery company was scattered and fought, the Japanese artillery could not threaten them at all.

"Fight well, the Ziyun Artillery Battalion should take the lead in this defensive operation."

"Brother Li Gong, did you see that the six mountain cannons suppressed a reinforced brigade of the Japanese army!"

"If this reinforced brigade on the flank launches an attack, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ziyun commanded the Second Artillery Company and stopped their attacks. It's really amazing."

Here at the regiment headquarters of the 358th regiment, Chu Yunfei saw that the Fujita brigade was tightly suppressed and unable to advance to the attack position, he said excitedly.

Fang Ligong couldn't help but express emotion. Up to now, he was completely convinced by Chen Ziyun's commanding ability.

Front-line operations continued, but Fujita's brigade was suppressed and could not pose a threat from the flank.

The frontal attack troops of the Japanese and puppet troops fought fiercely, but the four infantry battalions defended with all their strength, and they were still able to intercept their attacks.

What's more, these four infantry battalions also specially obtained an artillery company and two machine gun companies to strengthen defensive operations.

Time passed, and the sky gradually became dark.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the Japanese and puppet troops continued to attack, without any results.

On the contrary, more than 2000 troops from the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army suffered casualties again, and its combat strength was only 2000.

This means that in one day of combat, they have already lost 1000 casualties.

Katayama Shotaro issued an order to retreat angrily, and the Japanese and puppet troops were forced to end the battle.

Near the battlefield of the 358th regiment, Li Yunlong had commanded the first battalion of the new regiment and other troops to approach secretly.

A large number of scouts were also dispatched, and Lao Li was preparing to find a suitable opportunity to launch a direct combat strike.

"Regimental Commander, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is not easy. The puppet troops continued to attack for tens of thousands of days, but they actually held their positions."

"Furthermore, according to the reports of the reconnaissance troops, the casualties of the puppet army today were not small, at least thousands of casualties."

"I really can't believe that there are such capable troops in the Jinsui Army."

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, came to Li Yunlong, and he said with an emotional expression on his face.

Li Yunlong glanced sourly at the 358 regiment's position, and then looked at an infantry artillery not far away.

Before, he regarded this infantry cannon as a treasure, and wished he could sleep with his arms around it every day.

But seeing the artillery battalion of the Jinsui Army shelling again and again, Li Yunlong instantly felt that this infantry artillery was not good!

"If our Xinyi regiment also makes a few mountain cannons, we can still clean up these Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Don't even look at it. The 358th Regiment has a cannon troop. Can the Japanese and puppet troops be their opponents?"

"Without these artillery troops, the position of the 358th regiment would have been breached long ago."

Li Yunlong stared and said with great taste.
