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

Chapter 17 Qian Bojun is Confused
The Japanese artillery has good capabilities. They have sufficient training and long-term actual combat experience.

In combat, they can quickly counterattack and quickly destroy exposed firepower points.

Now four rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns have set up positions in different positions to launch shelling directly.

The eight artillery pieces did not conduct test firing, but fired directly.

The captain of the rapid-fire gun squadron and the second lieutenant of the two artillery squadrons raised their binoculars to observe.

One after another, armor-piercing explosive shells and grenades landed on the left position, the position of Qian Bojun's first battalion.

The two exposed Jin orogenic cannons have become the focus of rapid-fire artillery strikes.

An armor-piercing blasting shell directly penetrated and fell into a Jin orogenic cannon.

As the explosion sounded, several artillerymen uttered painful cries.

Countless shrapnel spread towards the surroundings, and these shrapnel hit the Jin Zaoshan Cannon with nails.

Not long after, a grenade landed here again, and the mountain cannon was instantly blown over.

Ten artillerymen were all killed and sacrificed, and none survived.

Another Jin orogenic cannon was hurriedly moved, but it was also shelled, its breech was destroyed, and it completely lost its combat capability.

Fortunately, the infantry quickly assisted in the transfer, preventing the mountain cannon from being destroyed.

Four Japanese rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns fired one after another.

Armor-piercing explosive shells, grenades, shrapnel shells and other shells hit the exposed firepower point of the left position accurately one after another.

In less than 10 minutes, the left position was heavily shelled.

Of the two mountain cannons exposed by the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion, one was completely destroyed, and the other was damaged and could not fire.

On the side of the first battalion, there were even two heavy machine guns, and six light machine guns were directly destroyed.

At the same time, they paid dozens of casualties, and the entire left position was panicked.

After Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui, and Liang Guoping received the report, they froze in place with astonishment on their faces.

The four infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron of the Hengshan Brigade, under the cover of artillery, launched an aggressive attack.

Nearly a thousand little devils rushed out and quickly moved towards the left position.

Qian Bojun commanded the troops to fight in a panic. At the same time, he hurriedly asked Liang Guoping for help, hoping that the artillery could support the battle.

But the Second Company of the Artillery Battalion had only two mountain cannons left to continue fighting, so Liang Guoping did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the two mountain cannons were damaged again, so he must be the battalion commander to the end.

"This...what the hell is going on, how did the little devil gather so many artillery pieces to launch a fierce attack."

"Why is there nothing wrong with the position on the right, what the hell, if I knew it, I wouldn't let the artillery battalion fire."

"You idiot Liang Guoping, if you hadn't fired the cannon, maybe the little devil wouldn't have attacked our first battalion."

Qian Bojun returned to the headquarters of his first battalion and cursed directly.

Seeing a large number of little devils charging towards him now, Qian Bojun panicked a lot.

"It's over, this time it's over, knocking out two light machine guns resulted in the destruction of two mountain cannons."

"The artillery is very important now. If it is pursued, I will definitely take responsibility."

"Chen Ziyun is really cunning, I would not have fired if I had known earlier."

"Second Company Commander, pass down the order, there are two mountain cannons left, don't start shelling for now."

Here at the artillery position, Liang Guoping was even more nervous, he said uneasy.

The bombardment by the Japanese army made Qian Bojun and Liang Guoping confused.

As for the position on the right, Wu Ziqiang, the commander of the second battalion, gasped when he saw the situation in the first battalion.

"It's really suspenseful. If the bombardment started continuously at that time, wouldn't the little devils attack here?"

"Company Commander Chen was so right that he didn't fire the artillery. The first battalion and the second company of the artillery battalion simply reaped the consequences."

"The little devil made a tentative attack, so why go to war?"

"Company Commander Chen really deserves to have seen big scenes. This ability is truly incredible."

Wu Ziqiang murmured to himself, now he respects Chen Ziyun even more.

The Hengshan Battalion stormed the left position, and the main force came out in full force.

Four mountain cannons and four infantry cannons fired one after another for cover.

All kinds of shells were fired continuously, and the first battalion was suppressed tightly, with almost no ability to fight back.

Chen Ziyun naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the left position at this time, he kept in touch with the artillery observation post.

The Inoue brigade also began to advance the attack at this time, but they did not have much artillery support, so they were very cautious.

Three infantry squadrons, more than 500 Japanese soldiers advanced alternately, as for the two infantry artillery directly under the brigade, they were still hidden and did not fire.

Because the little devil's troops were too scattered, Chen Ziyun did not launch the shelling.

In addition, in order to avoid conflicts, Chen Ziyun has quickly contacted the regiment headquarters, requesting the right to fire freely.

At this time, the infantry commanders, not to mention the Jinsui Army, even the Central Army had difficulty understanding artillery.

Often during combat, the artillery belongs to the infantry command, and these infantry commanders don't know artillery tactics.

They will only keep asking for shelling, which leads to the early exposure of the artillery and a devastating blow.

"Ding dong, the system has issued a mission!"

"Heavy damage to the third wing!"

"The third regiment has a full staff of 800 people, and the current strength is 300."

"In this defensive battle of the 358th Regiment, if more than 500 people from the Third Wing were killed or injured, it can be judged that the Third Wing was severely damaged."

At this moment, the mechanical sound of the system appeared in Chen Ziyun's mind.

Chen Ziyun's eyes widened when he heard such a mission.

According to preliminary estimates, the 358th regiment had at least hundreds of casualties, and the Japanese army had at most more than 20 casualties.

If the fight continues at this level, if you want to kill and injure 500 Japanese soldiers, the 358th regiment will probably be wiped out!

Compared with the previous missions, this system task is obviously more difficult.

"Company Commander, the Regiment Headquarters called back, and the Regiment Chief has approved our request."

"The regiment headquarters has already contacted the second battalion and the third battalion. Our first company can start shelling on its own to support them in combat."

Chen Ziyun, who got the system task, had a sad face, but at this time, the monitor of the communication team came to report.

Chen Ziyun nodded, and he came to the artillery battle map.

There are four mountain cannons in a battery, counting the fifty rounds of grenades transported back from the big luggage team.

At this time they have 130 rounds of armor-piercing grenades, [-] rounds of grenades!

These 150 rounds of shells, as long as they are used properly, can still provide strong support for combat.

"Regiment 358, don't let me down."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for bringing Yilianrun."

Chen Ziyun looked at the map and muttered to himself.

The fierce battle on the front line continued, and near the battlefield, the Xinyi Regiment had arrived here under the command of Lao Li.

Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to observe the combat situation, grinning from time to time, showing his big yellow teeth, and smiling silly.
