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

Chapter 99 Qian Bojun Is Dumbfounded
36 Type 36 heavy machine guns and [-] Type [-] mortars were deployed in machine gun positions and mortar positions.

These heavy weapons are ready to attack from cover, thus providing close-range fire support to front-line infantry.

The focus of the Japanese attack was on the middle road, where they invested three independent infantry brigades with 400 and [-] people!

As for the east and west sides, they arranged for 15 people from the 500th regiment of the Imperial Association Army to carry out diversionary attacks and cover the breakthrough operations in the middle.

The machine gun brigade, the mortar brigade, and even the artillery brigade in the rear were going to do their best to cover the Japanese army in the middle for attack operations.

It is worth mentioning that the Japanese independent infantry brigade was somewhat weaker than the field brigade.

There are three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron under the independent infantry brigade, and there is no direct artillery unit.

And their machine gun squadrons usually only have four to six heavy machine guns, which leads to about 800 troops in each of their brigades.

It was precisely because they lacked enough heavy weapons that the First Army specially allocated heavy weapons directly under the army to strengthen their attack capabilities.

At this time, Major General Katayama Shotaro, head of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, came to the front line to command in person, and the little devils naturally worked very hard.

With the help of the artillery team, they quickly moved forward.

The three brigades launched a group charge, and they were divided into three echelons to carry out wave-style tactical attacks.

And it was Qian Bojun's first battalion who was in charge of defense in the middle!
Seeing a large number of little devils charging towards his position, Qian Bojun showed a serious expression on his face.

He immediately got in touch with Wu Ziqiang's second battalion and Zhang Fugui's third battalion on the east and west sides, and asked them to fully assist in the defense.

At the same time, Qian Bojun immediately picked up the microphone and began to get in touch with the artillery battalion, hoping to get support from the artillery battalion in the battle.

The previous four infantry battalions faced about 100 Japanese and puppet troops, and the first battalion faced only more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops.

With such a large number of troops, and most of them were puppet troops, Qian Bojun had the courage to bring them closer before fighting.

However, the situation is completely different now. In the three brigades of the Japanese army, more than 2000 little devils surged over like locusts.

Even if he was brave enough, he would not dare to let them advance to a position less than 100 meters away from the position.

What's more, Qian Bojun could tell at a glance that the Japanese army launched a wave-like tactical charge.

This wave tactic has its own characteristics. The three brigades will attack the position one after another like waves.

The front was repulsed, and the rear rushed over quickly.

The repelled troops quickly moved to the back, and continued to attack continuously!
If the Japanese army is allowed to attack the position at close range, the first battalion will definitely be unable to withstand it.

"Everything!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Da da da!"

Not long after, the first battalion was fully fired.

Unlike the other six infantry battalions, the first battalion has an extra mortar company.

At this time, under the command of Qian Bojun, four 75MM mortars and six Jin-made heavy machine guns all opened fire.

The four infantry companies deployed in different positions also launched fire interception.

The light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles of each squad fired one after another.

The dense bullets formed a firepower net with no dead ends, which instantly suppressed the advance of the Japanese troops.

The overall weapons and equipment of the Jinsui Army are not bad, and they have sufficient ammunition, and their firepower is still very strong.

Especially in defensive operations, they can give full play to their firepower superiority.

More than forty light and heavy machine guns fired, and a string of flames sprayed out.

The 11th Brigade of Independent Infantry rushing to the front was instantly suppressed by firepower.

Even if they opened the skirmish line and kept a certain distance, in the face of such firepower, there were still dozens of casualties.

The little devil troop advancing at high speed stopped instantly as if hitting an iron plate.

They quickly took cover, and the grenade launchers of their various teams were immediately set up.

The grenadier began to lock the position of the fire point of the machine gun and was ready to shoot.

At this time, Zhang Fugui's third battalion on the east side of the first battalion also started firing.

The four infantry companies focused their fire on the puppet troops in front of them, and the six heavy machine guns of the machine gun company directly under the battalion fired sideways to support the first battalion.

Zhang Fugui and Qian Bojun have worked together for many years, and they can wear a pair of trousers if they are good.

Therefore, Zhang Fugui obeyed Qian Bojun's order unconditionally.

On the contrary, Wu Ziqiang's Second Battalion on the west side of the First Battalion did not fully expose their firepower. They just arranged for riflemen to shoot.

The fourth battalion of Shi Yuframe was mainly defense in depth, so they did not launch a fire strike.

The firepower of each battalion was launched, and the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops was contained. Qian Bojun observed through the binoculars, with a smile on his face.

Of course, he turned his head and glanced at the artillery battalion, with hatred deep in his eyes.

"Chen Ziyun, bastard, if you want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, stop dreaming!"

"I also came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Even without your artillery support, I can still block their attacks."

"Commissioners, contact the regiment headquarters directly. Our department has already launched a fierce battle with the main force of the Japanese army and successfully contained its advance."

"But until now, Chen Ziyun's artillery has not been able to provide effective support, so I am applying for unified infantry artillery combat authority."

"If we can get artillery support at this time, our department will definitely be able to win a big victory and easily disintegrate the main attack of the Japanese army."

After cursing, Qian Bojun called the messenger, and he directly asked Chu Yunfei for the command of the artillery!
This is the thinking of most infantry officers. As long as the little devils attack, the artillery has to fire immediately.

As for whether the artillery would be exposed, whether the shells would be sufficient, or whether the shelling could effectively kill the little devil, they would not consider it at all.

The signal soldier received the order and immediately began to pick up the microphone and communicate directly with the regiment headquarters.

However, at this moment, the Japanese army formed a powerful counterattack firepower!

The three infantry squadrons under the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade assembled 27 light machine guns and 27 grenades to suppress firepower.

Directly under the machine gun squadron, six [-]-type heavy machine guns launched burst fire.

At the same time, the machine gun brigade, mortar brigade, and artillery brigade were also fully fired.

In an instant, the dense bullets and shells completely enveloped the camp!
90MM mortar shells, 75MM mountain artillery shells, field artillery shells, and 50MM grenadier shells fell on the first battalion position one after another.

Especially their light and heavy machine guns were targeted.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of explosions continued, and the first battalion was bombarded by the Japanese army.

Dust was flying everywhere, and in the dust, the remains of severed arms could still be clearly seen.

Qian Bojun immediately dodged. Hearing the sound of explosions one after another, he was completely dumbfounded!
