The whole place was silent.

But this mood only lasted for less than ten seconds.

Kato Kiku said with a cold and arrogant look: "Thinking back to when my imperial army swept across Shanxi Province, wherever it went, it was like entering an empty land. Even more than half a year ago, this Heyuan County was under the strict control of my headquarters in Shanxi, and all Chinese armed forces were even more afraid of my imperial army! The 23rd Army of the Central Army of China, the 38th and 39th Armies of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army... How many elite Chinese troops were defeated by my 33rd Division? I don't understand - why are you all so pessimistic? It seems that this ancient battlefield in southwest Shanxi is the burial place of my 33rd Division?"

"Division Commander!"

Asano standing over there frowned and said: "Now my aviation formation can no longer support the battlefield I am afraid of the afternoon fighting- "" Where is the fairy artillery coalition? "" Now it has arrived in Dawang Village. It is estimated that it can meet with my division after two hours. " All the main traffic channels have gradually completed the strategic overall attack situation. Here, it is less than 50 miles away from Heyuan County. Except for a few areas such as Guizhenling, there are almost a few of them. "Leader, just got the news, the main force of the devil division has been stationed near Gujia Village. Now the brothers of the traffic lines have also retreated one by one." "I know." Lu Zhixian nodded. "Captain!"

At this time, Zhou Weiguo said solemnly: "After the fierce battles in the past few days, although the Japanese suffered heavy losses, the situation is still very unfavorable to us. Now as long as the main force of the Japanese is fully assembled, they can rush directly to Heyuan County. There are only a few areas like Guijiaoling that can be defended in the middle. In addition, even the Japanese artillery regiment has arrived near Dawang Village!"

"Have you figured out the situation of the regiment?"

"It's clear!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded and said seriously: "This is the elite of the Japanese 36th Division. Its original He belongs to the packhorse artillery regiment, and the regiment commander is named Sendoh Takahisa. According to the Japanese artillery organization, this regiment should usually be equipped with 8 Type 92 70mm infantry guns with a range of 2.8 kilometers, 12 Type 38 75mm mountain guns with a range of 8.3 kilometers, 8 Type 38 75mm field guns with a range of 10 kilometers, and 4 Type 91 105mm howitzers with a range of 10.8 kilometers. They are matched with high and low, with clear division of labor, and the number of artillery alone is as high as 32! "

"What a powerful firepower!"

Wei Dayong standing over there couldn't help but exclaimed.

Zhou Weiguo said again: "The only good news now is that the artillery regiment of the Japanese 33rd Division also suffered a lot of losses in the previous clearing operation in northeastern Shanxi, and the current firepower is estimated to be less than half of this. This is why Taiyuan urgently transferred this unit from the 36th Division for reinforcement, but even so, we have to pay at least nearly 50 artillery pieces of various types in this battle!"

After these words came out.

Everyone present was silent.

In an artillery battle of this level, it is definitely difficult for a light artillery regiment to play a role. Although the Tiger Guard Regiment is equipped with a heavy artillery battalion and an armored battalion, etc., and its firepower output capability is not inferior to the opponent, who can be sure of winning a battle of this scale and intensity?

"No problem!"

However, Lu Zhixian looked stern at this time. He said seriously: "I have to admit that the Japanese are indeed extremely well prepared in terms of firepower for this battle, but it is really a pipe dream to want to defeat the firepower of my Tiger Guards with only one and a half artillery regiments!"

"Captain!"

Zhou Weiguo said with some concern: "Although there are nearly 40 self-propelled artillery in our heavy artillery battalion and armored battalion, we will not lose to them in terms of firepower. "We will definitely win even if it's an artillery battle!"

"Definitely?"

"Yes!"

Lu Zhixian nodded and said again: "The enemy does have a lot of artillery, but their equipment is very complicated. These artillery are naturally a combination of high and low, and professional division of labor for other troops with inferior firepower, but if they are facing...If they are a strong artillery team, their suppression power will not be reflected! On the contrary, we occupy many high grounds such as Guisha Ridge, with a wide field of vision and a wide range, and we also have many M7 self-propelled artillery with obvious advantages! If the Japanese really want to fight an artillery battle with us, we will definitely win in the end! "

"In that case, I'm afraid we will also suffer considerable losses."

"Since it is a life-and-death contest, how can we take care of other things?"

Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said coldly: "Pass my order! Telegraph Yang Zhihua, when the battle starts in the afternoon, the heavy artillery battalion must hit hard! The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and we will never retreat in this battle!"

"Yes, commander! "

Everyone quickly took the order.

...

Afternoon.

Just as both sides expected.

All the troops of the Japanese division passed through various traffic arteries as scheduled, and at the same time, the Xiandao Artillery Regiment also joined its main division at around 1:00 p.m.

When this large-scale horse-drawn artillery regiment arrived, all the Japanese present were excited.

In fact.

With the complete paralysis of the aviation force, the entire command center was overshadowed.

Although they were very confident in their own strength, they also understood how powerful the firepower of the Tiger Guards was. If they could not suppress it with long-range artillery fire, then even if their own troops had an advantage, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. Now that they can get strong support from the artillery regiment, the situation will naturally be better. It was very different.

Soon.

The entire coalition army of more than 20,000 elite soldiers was divided into three teams, heading towards Guisha Ridge from the east, north and west.

The chariots rolled.

The artillery roared.

The powerful team walked arrogantly on the long road, and all the devils' faces were full of expectations for revenge.

All kinds of powerful and fierce equipment were either towed by trucks or pulled by pack horses. Although the efficiency was much lower than the mechanized method of the Tiger Guards, the various artillery pieces still gave people an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Of course, at the same time.

Everyone knew.

As long as Guisha Ridge was taken.

Then whoever won this battle would win in the end!

This exciting battle will soon usher in the final decisive battle.
