On the mountain, the Japanese also discovered the Eighth Route Army troops at the foot of the mountain. Yoshio Kozuka looked at the Eighth Route Army troops at the foot of the mountain with a telescope. When they found that the foot of the mountain was basically full of cavalry, Yoshio Kozuka began to feel a little uneasy. According to his understanding of Zhang Yunfei, the cavalry was generally Zhang Yunfei's vanguard. This time there were several thousand cavalry, and the subsequent large troops were estimated to be tens of thousands.

Yoshio Kozuka, who looked a little panicked, hurried to the Japanese brigade next to him: "Hurry up and send a report to the 10th and 16th Division, send my order, and order the two of them to come quickly."

Two hours later, the Eighth Route Army teams arrived one after another. Everyone set up defensive formations on the empty fields on the mountain. Zhang Yunfei gathered all the Type 92 infantry cannons, a total of six or seventy Type 92 infantry cannons began to build artillery positions two or three kilometers away from the Japanese and began to set up cannons.

An artillery battalion of the Second Artillery Regiment also rushed over and began to build an artillery position ten kilometers away from the Japanese mountain. The hundreds of shells loaded on more than a dozen trucks were also unloaded from the trucks and could be loaded at any time.

All dozens of sixty-mm mortars in the entire army were also concentrated and quietly moved to the foot of the mountain, entering the trenches that the regiment had dug at the foot of the mountain, preparing to shell the Japanese on the mountain.

The range of mortars is more than 1,000 meters. It is completely possible to get the Japanese on the mountain. Putting the cannons in the trenches can protect the artillery well. Even if the Japanese on the mountain fires fire at these dozens of mortars, it is difficult to hit the artillery of the mortars, because everyone hides in the trenches unless the Japanese cannon shells can directly hit the trenches. However, the chance of this is very small. The shells often explode outside the trenches and cannot hurt the soldiers in the trenches. Unless they are large-caliber howitzers, one shot can blow the trenches up.

Seeing that the troops were ready, Zhang Yunfei issued an attack order, and the first one to attack were dozens of mortars. The soldiers in the trenches were skillfully operating the 60-mm mortars.

"Bang, bang, bang", dozens of shells flew to the Japanese devils' positions on the mountain. Immediately, bursts of explosions came, blowing up large pieces of soil. Dozens of Japanese devils were affected by the explosion and were injured if they were not killed.

Seeing that the shelling effect was good, Zhang Yunfei issued another order of ten rapid firings. The mortar's firing rate was very fast. In less than two minutes, ten shells were fired.

On the mountain, the Japanese positions exploded continuously, mixed with the Japanese screams. Large areas of mud and sand and plants were blown away. Zhang Yunfei, who was watching the battle from a distance below the mountain, could see clearly, and even saw the Japanese's broken limbs and arms stalked in the splashing mud and sand.

Yoshio Kozuka, who was hiding in a hidden place, looked ashen and shivered slightly. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's mortars were so tricky that hundreds of Imperial Army warriors were broken in an instant.

"The mortars of the Eighth Route Army were dead, so I ordered the field artillery corps to fire and blow me up the mortar positions of the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain." The angry Yoshio Kozuka shouted loudly at the commander of the Japanese brigade next to him.

The Japanese Field Artillery Regiment, who received the order, began to aim at the mortar position of the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain, under the command of a Japanese Army captain.

The Japanese quickly operated these small-caliber cannons and loaded shells into the cannon bore. Not long after, a "boom, boom, boom" sound came, and dozens of small mountain cannons of the Japanese fired at the foot of the mountain.

The shells exploded one by one at the Eighth Route Army's mortar position. Yoshio Kozuka on the mountain saw his artillery show his power, and immediately smiled on his face, and couldn't help but say "Yo Xi" softly.

At the foot of the mountain, at the mortar position of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers saw the Japanese firing artillery and stopped firing one after another, bent down and hid in a narrow trench more than one meter deep. One round of shells exploded above and next to them. The large tracts of soil splashed over the soldiers' heads. Some soldiers' mouths were filled with mud, but most of the soldiers were safe and sound. Only a small number of soldiers were affected by the explosion and were injured to varying degrees.

When Zhang Yunfei saw that the Japanese's field artillery corps finally exposed his position, he smiled happily and said to the Division Commander Liu next to him: "The Japanese's doomsday has arrived, and he has lost artillery. I see how the Japanese fight in this battle."

It turned out that before the war started, Zhang Yunfei observed the foot of the mountain for a long time but did not find the Japanese field artillery corps. After all, the Japanese's position was connected by several small hills, with an area of ​​several kilometers. The field artillery corps was hiding in some corner.

So Zhang Yunfei arranged for a mortar to attack the Japanese first, with the purpose of attracting the Japanese field artillery corps. These dozens of mortars were the bait that Zhang Yunfei gave to the Japanese, and led the Japanese to bait.

The Japanese were also brave. Yoshio Kotsuka judged that after such a fierce bombardment yesterday, Zhang Yunfei's large-caliber howitzer group had no shells, so Yoshio Kotsuka would hold on here and wait for assistance, and ordered the field artillery gang to fight back.

If Zhang Yunfei only had some mortars and small-caliber Type 92 infantry cannons, then there would be a battle to fight. The Japanese field artillery gang were at the back. Due to range issues, Zhang Yunfei's Type 92 infantry cannon could not hit the Japanese field artillery gang.

Japanese, Japanese, you are so unlucky. I happen to have hundreds of large-caliber howitzers and shells, which can be used to deal with Japanese Japanese's field artillery corps.

"Order, forty cannons from the 1st Battalion of the Second Artillery Regiment will fire and send me the Japanese field artillery corps in the opposite mountain corner to the west." Zhang Yunfei looked solemn and shouted at the communication soldiers beside him.

A few minutes later, forty 155 mm howitzers and their thick muzzles were aimed at the Japanese field artillery corps in the distance. Forty cannons, each of which only fired three or four shells, and then bombed the Japanese field artillery corps into the sky.

On the Japanese Field Artillery Alliance's position, the sound of shells exploded was deafening. Zhang Yunfei and others in the distance could hear it clearly. After the explosion, the entire position was in a mess, a tragic phenomenon of hell on earth. One or two thousand Japanese were all bombed to death, and almost no complete corpse was found.

Dozens of mountain cannons were blown up and disorganized, some parts were blown up and deformed, and some gun barrels were even twisted into twisted shapes by huge explosion shock waves.

Yoshio Kozuka on the mountain heard such a violent explosion and knew that the entire field artillery corps was over. His face, which was originally smiling, suddenly turned pale. He leaned against the trench powerlessly, and his hands holding the telescope were even shaking slightly. It can be seen that Yoshio Kozuka was so desperate and sad.

Why does Zhang Yunfei have large caliber howitzer shells? This is unreasonable, Yoshio Kozuka cried wildly in his heart.
