Anti-Japanese War: You drove me away, and now you want me to rescue you?

"Baga!"

Sakata, who was standing not far away, was indeed extremely angry.

Just as Li Yunlong guessed.

Sakata also never thought that his troops would be attacked at this critical moment, and it was such a dense and crazy attack.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Fierce artillery fire continued to bombard.

Powerful power continued to explode.

At this time, nearly 1,700 people from the two infantry battalions had already pressed forward from different directions. They had no place to hide after leaving the trenches, and were ruthlessly attacked like live targets.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Round after round of artillery attacks.

Hundreds of soldiers fell on the road under such an offensive.

"Retreat!"

Sakata Nobutsu frantically issued orders.

In fact.

He didn't even need to command deliberately. Now the devils on the hillside had been stopped by such a fierce attack. All the vanguard troops retreated one after another, and the entire formation was almost in chaos.

"Baga!"

Sakata Nobutsu was furious.

In just such a short period of time.

Nearly a thousand soldiers of the two infantry battalions were killed.

What a huge casualty?

What a huge loss?

"Captain of the regiment!"

Staff officer Urato said in astonishment: "Where did this shell come from? The Eighth Route Army should not have such fierce firepower!"

"That's right!"

At this time, Sakata Nobutsu was also shocked and angry.

The reason why he sent two infantry battalions to attack at the same time was mainly because he saw that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was really weak. However, now his actions have become a stupid move to sacrifice the imperial warriors, which makes him angry and extremely incredible.

Where did the troops come from?

Where did the firepower come from?

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army really still has a hidden card?

No!

It was just a moment.

Sakata Nobutsu immediately rejected this idea.

If the Eighth Route Army really had such a terrifying firepower output, it could have been used earlier. Why wait until such heavy casualties were incurred before using it?

You should know that such a powerful firepower output is probably rare in the empire.

Of course.

At this time, he didn't have time to think too much.

He picked up the telescope and quickly scanned the distance, shouting loudly: "The enemy's artillery position is set in the northeast direction, immediately send a message to the artillery squadron to fight back!"

"Hai!"

The messenger next to him quickly received the order.

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

Soon the artillery on the Japanese side quickly changed direction, and four Type 92 infantry guns and several mortars fired in the direction of the shells.

But they were in a hurry after all,

It was obviously very difficult to quickly and accurately knock down the enemy's position.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

It was just the moment of counterattack.

I saw the shells in the distance rushing towards the three artillery positions here like a rainstorm.

The powerful and dense firepower instantly blew up one of the positions and took away several powerful artillery pieces.

"Baga!"

Sakata Nobutsu was shocked and angry.

Staff officer Matsuura quickly said: "The other side seems to have been waiting for our artillery positions to be exposed."

How could Sakata Nobutsu not know?

You must know that the artillery confrontation and the sniper confrontation on both sides have the same purpose. No matter which side, they try their best to avoid exposing their own positions. Once exposed, they will inevitably be attacked crazily.

If it is said that facing the Eighth Route Army, which lacks long-range heavy weapons output, it is still okay. If facing these enemies with great firepower advantages, it is absolutely a disaster.

But even if it is exposed, won't you fight back?

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

The gunners of the remaining artillery positions were also firing back frantically.

Few against many.

Hasty against prepared.

The most important thing is that without accurate position guidance from the front artillery observation post, it is extremely difficult to destroy the enemy with experience and feeling.

Boom boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom boom!

Sure enough.

This side only fired one round.

The other side presented a round of attacks again, and the successive shells crossed different arcs in the sky and finally fell on the Japanese positions.

The earth-shaking explosion resounded throughout Cangyun Ridge.

"Captain!"

At this time, Uratomo quickly discovered that something was wrong and shouted anxiously: "In addition to more than half of the shells within two or three kilometers, the enemy also has artillery positions several kilometers away! This is definitely not an ordinary mortar, this should be a howitzer with an ultra-long range!"

"Damn it!"

Sakata Nobutsu's face changed slightly.

In fact.

HeI have also seen this point long ago.

But I didn't care about these things before. Now when I heard about this, my face looked even uglier. I gritted my teeth and muttered: "Howitzers with super long range are rare in the war zone of Jin Province in my empire. Who is the opponent? How could they be armed with such a killer weapon?"

An inch longer, an inch stronger!

If the opponent only has a considerable number of mortars, then they still have a chance to defeat them before the opponent.

After all.

They also have advantages.

That is, all kinds of artillery are built in fortifications. Unless they hit accurately, they really can't be easily destroyed.

But the longest range of many of their artillery is only about three kilometers. The enemy's artillery positions are set up three kilometers away. How can they defeat the enemy in this artillery fire?

"Pass my order!"

Sakata Nobutsu saw the key to the matter and shouted angrily: "Send out the First Infantry Battalion immediately, relying on the terrain of the hillside to entangle the enemy's artillery array for me!"

"Hai!"

The messenger received the order again.

I have to say.

Sakata Nobutsu's order was very decisive.

Under normal circumstances.

Under the extremely fierce attack of the enemy's firepower.

Hiding in the trenches on the spot is the best choice.

But this old devil knew clearly.

There are still Eighth Route Army on the mountain, and there are unknown armed bombardments in the distance.

If he gave in at this time, the enemy would counterattack, and with the cooperation of inside and outside, it would definitely be a disaster for his regiment.

On the contrary, if his side could make the enemy's artillery ineffective in the shortest time, there might be a chance to save the situation.

Besides.

The terrain here is complex, not flat and comfortable.

Even if his infantry launched an offensive, as long as the formation was not too dense, there was still a great chance of winning.

It's just that getting hurt is inevitable!

"Kill the chickens!"

"Kill the chickens!"

"..."

The first battalion, as the reserve, quickly moved out.

"Captain!"

Suddenly, the staff officer Uratomo frowned and said, "Could the other side be the Shanxi Suiyuan Army?"

"It should be them!"

Sakata Nobutsu pondered for a moment, and said with an unpleasant face, "Next to us is the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. Only they can launch a sudden attack on us."
