Chapter 20 The First Battalion Was Breakthrough
Near the position of the 358 regiment, Li Yunlong was still conducting deployment combat missions with Zhang Dabiao and other cadres.

But with the sound of successive cannons, Li Yunlong and others immediately checked with binoculars.

As Chen Ziyun temporarily ended the shelling, the cadres of the Xinyi Regiment were dumbfounded.

"The machine-gun squadron was knocked out, and the infantry artillery squadron was knocked out."

"Great gunner, there are dozens of shells, and none of them was wasted."

"This...what the hell is going on, they are also Jinsui Army troops, why is there such a big gap."

"Captain, am I delusional!"

Zhang Dabiao said in disbelief, after all, Qian Bojun's first battalion performed poorly before.

But now seeing the Inoue Brigade being shelled, with such a loss, he couldn't believe what he saw for a while.

"Da Biao, you don't have any fucking eyes."

"It's the artillery, hehehe, I really didn't expect that the Jinsui Army still has such powerful artillery."

"This time the little devil wants to break through, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If the order continues, the troops will not move for the time being."

"Look at the situation first and then fight. This artillery is really amazing!"

"If only they could help us fight..."

Li Yunlong said with envy on his face, he temporarily stopped his combat operations.

The new regiment continued to hide and stand by, closely observing the situation on the battlefield.

Li Yunlong looked through the binoculars for a long time, but he couldn't find a company of artillery positions.

His face was a bit gloomy. At this moment, he looked at the little devil's cannons, and he didn't feel good.

And here at the headquarters of the third wing, Eguchi Hachiro, who was in charge of the unified command, was full of anger.

He gritted his teeth and looked towards the right position, holding the saber tightly with both hands.

The Inoue Brigade suffered more than 200 casualties, and all twelve heavy machine guns and two infantry guns were destroyed.

"It's them, Your Excellency Captain, it's them!"

"It's this artillery that severely damaged our mountain artillery squadron and knocked out the wing headquarters."

Cao Chang, the Japanese artillery standing aside, pointed to the position on the right and spoke directly.

"Baga, Lu, didn't you say they had already evacuated?"

Eguchi Hachiro raised his hands angrily, slapped Cao Chang more than a dozen times, and slapped Cao Chang a dozen times!

Cao Chang was so dizzy from the beating that he almost sat on the ground.

How could he have imagined that they were all artillerymen in the 358 regiment's position, how could there be such a gap.

The Second Company of the Artillery Battalion set up an exposed position and directly bombarded them. In the end, the little devil easily destroyed their two Jin orogenic cannons.

The artillery battalion set up sheltered positions and shelled indirectly, causing heavy losses to the Inoue Brigade.

After Eguchi Hachiro vented, he raised his binoculars to check, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

At this time, Chen Ziyun commanded the first company and started shelling again.

The four Jin orogenic cannons fired freely, directly attacking the infantry of the Inoue Brigade and assisting the second battalion in defense.

Under the guidance of Zhou Wenbo Artillery Observation Post, one after another grenade hit the Japanese infantry.

Without the support of heavy weapons, Japanese infantry casualties continued to increase.

Major Inoue, who commanded the operation, gave the order to retreat with anger on his face.

In this attack, Inoue Brigade suffered heavy casualties.

Their total casualties exceeded 300, and all heavy weapons were destroyed, and some light weapons were also lost.

Yilian fired [-] rounds of grenades and [-] rounds of armor-piercing grenades, and rushed to support the second battalion.

Of course, most of the losses of the little devil were caused by the artillery unit of the company.

After ten o'clock, the Inoue Brigade withdrew from the battlefield for a rest, and Major Inoue began to generate electricity to request tactical guidance.

However, in the left position at this time, the Hengshan Brigade continued to attack, and the casualties of the first battalion had already exceeded 400 people.

And a large number of their weapons were destroyed, and the infantry near the high ground completely lost their defense capabilities.

As a little devil rushed over with a rifle, the front line was completely broken.

The Jinsui army is relatively good at defense, but their defense is only to use their advantages in weapons.

Once the hand-to-hand combat starts, the Jinsui army is no match at all.

At eleven o'clock, a battalion began to be breached.

Shao Zuo Hengshan decisively issued an order, and the two squadrons quickly advanced in depth.

The two squadrons advanced rapidly and entered the position to support the troops in front to fight.

Rapid-fire artillery, infantry artillery, and heavy machine guns suppress highland firepower.

Based on past experience, Major Yokoyama knew that there would not be too many troops on the high ground.

He thought about defeating the main force of the 358 regiment first, and then turned around to deal with these troops on the high ground.

"What the hell is Liang Guoping doing? Shoot!"

"What a piece of trash, what the hell, look at Chen Ziyun's series, he hit the little devil's army hard."

"Where is Liang Guoping, what is his second company doing!"

The position of the first battalion was breached, and the battalion commander Qian Bojun was full of anger.

He was counting on the two mountain cannons of the second company to fire quickly to stop the little devil from advancing in depth.

But at this time, Liang Guoping had already started ordering the dismantling of the Shanpao, ready for the transfer.

For a while, the position on the right side was in chaos!
A large number of little devils pushed in from the side of the high ground, and the first battalion on the high ground received special attention, and was bombarded by artillery one after another, suppressed by heavy machine guns.

Qian Bojun hurriedly contacted the regiment headquarters, he was going to take advantage of the opportunity now, and quickly withdraw from the battlefield to preserve the strength of the first battalion.

Chu Yunfei saw the situation on the front line through the telescope, his face was livid.

"Bastards like Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui, and Liang Guoping are simply idiots!"

"Commander, contact the artillery battalion and transport all the shells to the company's position!"

"The second battalion and the third battalion are fighting according to the plan."

"Contact the first battalion and let them hold their ground!"

Chu Yunfei frowned and said with a displeased expression on his face.

There was panic in the first battalion, and there was almost no morale. Most of the officers and soldiers wanted to evacuate quickly.

Eguchi Hachiro, who commanded the third wing, was capable after all, and he resolutely seized the opportunity.

The Hengshan Brigade commanded four infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron, pushing forward with all their strength to fight in depth!

The Inoue Battalion commanded four infantry squadrons, one rapid-fire artillery squadron, and two artillery squadrons, and launched diversion attacks from the front.

Ono Squadron quickly and secretly detoured towards the right position, looking for the position of the artillery position of the Jinsui Army, and carried out an annihilation operation.

At the same time, the Ono Squadron can also directly cooperate with the Hengshan Brigade to fight, completely disrupting the overall defense deployment of the 358th Regiment.

For a while, more than 700 little devils from Inoue's brigade launched diversion attacks on the left and right positions respectively.

Four rapid-fire guns and four infantry guns provide support for them.

Shao Zuo Hengshan commanded about [-] troops, quickly crossed the positions near the high ground, and attacked in depth.

For a while, the position of the 358th regiment was in jeopardy, and it would be completely broken through at any time.
