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

Chapter 16 Onslaught on the Left Position
At around seven o'clock in the morning, the sun rose in the east, and rays of sunlight shone on the ground.

As the sky became brighter, the two infantry squadrons where the little devil was testing, about [-] little devils, were exposed one after another.

Of course, the Japanese attacking troops were not like in the TV series, where they were densely packed and charged.

That's not charging to fight, but queuing up to die!

The Japanese army took detachments (squads) as units, opened up the skirmish line, and alternately covered and advanced towards the position.

Each unit has 13 people, equipped with a crooked light machine gun and nine rifles.

During combat, four people form a machine gun team, responsible for manipulating light machine guns.

Eight riflemen form two rifle groups to fight, and the sub-team leader is responsible for commanding three groups to fight.

The range of activities of these three groups is generally within the range of being able to hear the password of the sub-team leader clearly.

Of course, when it is necessary to disperse, they also need to ensure that someone in the group can hear the team leader's password clearly.

Otherwise, if you can't hear the squad leader's combat order, the troops will definitely be in chaos.

And in order to be able to accurately lock the position of the squad leader during combat, the general squad leader will hang a plaster flag under the rifle bayonet.

In this way, when each unit is fighting, it can immediately determine the position of its own team leader, and launch attacks with him as the core.

About [-] little devils pushed forward scatteredly, looking from a height, they looked like locusts scattered all around.

The Japanese army's weapons and equipment are good. Each squadron has three squadrons, each squadron has three combat squadrons, and a grenadier squadron.

They have a squadron with nine light machine guns, nine grenadiers, and about ninety [-]-style rifles.

The third wing is the elite of the little devils. They cooperate with each other tacitly and advance very fast.

By 07:30, the little devil advanced to about 200 meters from the position.

The Japanese troops that were advancing alternately stopped moving, and the two lieutenant squadron leaders began to issue combat orders.

Light machine guns, grenade grenades, and rifles began to focus their fire and launch firepower tests.

For a while, dense bullets and grenades hit the position one after another.

With the sound of an explosion, dust and smoke filled the air.

Here in the left position, the first battalion launched a counterattack under the command of battalion commander Qian Bojun and deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui.

Light and heavy machine guns on the high ground fired one after another, and a large number of bullets poured towards the Japanese army like raindrops from a torrential rain.

Liang Guoping even cooperated actively, and fired directly at the two Jin orogenic cannons in the second company, instantly destroying the two light machine guns of the little devil.

In the position on the right, Wu Ziqiang, the commander of the second battalion, is in charge of the front line command.

He ordered all the light machine guns and rifles to launch counter fire.

At the same time, he quickly contacted the first company by phone and asked for artillery support.

However, Chen Ziyun, who answered the phone, explained the situation in detail and did not fire immediately.

The little devil is just trying to attack, it is too early to expose the artillery.

Moreover, the Japanese troops were relatively scattered. It didn't make much sense to knock out a light machine gun and a grenadier in the Japanese army with one shell.

Wu Ziqiang is Chu Yunfei's direct descendant, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Ziyun's actions, he still held back his anger.

At eight o'clock, the two infantry squadrons of the Little Devils began to withdraw.

"Hahaha, Battalion Commander Liang, with your support, if there is divine help, the little devil will be beaten and fled in embarrassment."

"On the other hand, on the right side, Chen Ziyun didn't even fart. It's ridiculous."

"I see, the previous bombardment was probably caused by them blindly. It's bullshit to cover up the position and shoot indirectly."

"There is no such thing as Battalion Commander Liang's direct-point shooting accuracy. After this battle is over, I will definitely give credit to the artillery."

Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion, raised his binoculars to observe, and he was closely watching the situation on the right side.

Immediately afterwards, he found Liang Guoping, the commander of the artillery battalion, and directly praised him.

Liang Guoping inevitably showed a complacent expression on his face. He is not a rich man, and he is more or less capable.

Hearing Qian Bojun's praise, he smiled and sneered at Chen Ziyun.

"Battle Commander Qian, don't worry, we will do our best to assist in this battle."

"With the second company and four mountain cannons fighting, and the first battalion attached to such an elite unit, the position on the left must be impenetrable!"

"The position on the right side, I don't think it will take long before it will be broken through."

Liang Guoping said playfully that they couldn't wait to see Chen Ziyun's jokes.

At this time, at the Japanese headquarters, Eguchi Hachiro was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield.

At the same time, a surviving Captain Cao of the Mountain Pao Squadron was also by his side, observing the frontline operations.

"Your Excellency, Captain, this is the standard artillery tactic of the Jinsui Army. Set up exposed positions in the open and shoot directly."

"This is a completely different strategy from the artillery that bombarded our mountain artillery squadron and the wing headquarters before."

"If you look at it this way, then it must be the elite artillery of the Central Army who shelled us before."

"And after severely injuring our mountain artillery squadron and destroying the wing headquarters, the elite artillery of the Central Army may have been transferred."

After the Japanese commander Cao checked the battle, he looked at Eguchi Hachiro and said directly.

Eguchi Hachiro nodded thoughtfully, and he took a deep breath.

"Yaoxi, what you said is very reasonable."

"The Shanpao Squadron, the regiment headquarters of the Empire's elite third regiment, will never be severely damaged and destroyed by the Jinsui Army!"

"It must be the elite artillery unit of the Central Army that launched the shelling before, and it will definitely not be the artillery of the Jinsui Army!"

"Order, the Hengshan Brigade is equipped with a rapid-fire artillery squadron and an artillery squadron to attack the left position with all its strength!"

"Order, the Inoue Brigade will divert and attack the right position and assist the Hengshan Brigade to break through."

Eguchi Hachiro made a decision and immediately issued an order.

Although Cao Chang said that the artillery unit of the Central Army may have withdrawn, Eguchi Hachiro is still very cautious.

He did not order the troops to launch a storm at the same time, but chose the breakthrough on the left side.

The Hengshan Brigade received a combat order, and at the same time, it also received a rapid-fire artillery squadron directly under the wing, and the artillery squadron of the First Brigade was strengthened.

At this time, their artillery support has been greatly improved. Counting their own artillery squad, they have four Type [-] rapid-fire guns and four Type [-] infantry guns.

The 37-type rapid-fire gun has a caliber of 37MM, which is an imitation of the German-made [-]MM anti-tank gun.

As an anti-tank weapon, its overall performance is very poor, and it can only penetrate 100 mm of armor at a distance of [-] meters.

However, the Japanese army used it to attack the positions of the Jinsui Army and other troops. This rapid-fire gun is simply a sharp weapon.

The Xiaoguizi Type 70 infantry artillery is a brigade-level support artillery with a caliber of [-]mm and a total weight of less than [-] kilograms. It can also be disassembled for human transportation.

Its height is 62 cm including the gun mantlet. After dismantling the gun mantlet, its height is about [-] cm, which is equivalent to the height of a heavy machine gun.

Because of its excellent performance in all aspects, it can shoot both curved and direct shots, so this infantry cannon is known as ghost cannon and small steel cannon.

The Hengshan Brigade quickly deployed, with four rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns in place.

Immediately afterwards, Major Hengshan gave the order to shell.

Eight cannons, start direct shooting!
