Looking at the infantry and cavalry who were struggling to survive in the fire!

Looking at the subordinates running like a group of frightened quails on the hillside!

Colonel Takeuchi Yunshan saw a burst of Venus.

If nothing unexpected happens, the infantry brigade under his command has been completely "disabled" by his infantry regiment captain, and he also has to bring half of the cavalry squadron.

"Baga! Fire a gun and fight back and order all artillery troops to fight back against all Chinese artillery, no, including the infantry location!" The Japanese Army Colonel, who was full of stars in front of him, recovered for a minute and issued a military order with an ugly face red.

Takeuchi Yunshan's move was not so much to prevent the Chinese mortar from continuing to beat the infantry and cavalry who were still on the No. 3 Highland, but rather to say that indiscriminate revenge was more accurate.

The Japanese mountain cannons, howitzers and infantry cannons opened fire here two minutes later.

Some artillery fire broke out on the hills of Height No. 1 and 2, and some artillery shells crossed three highlands and exploded bombs in the forest hundreds of meters away.

This is also the first time that the fine Japanese have used precious shells so aimlessly to their unclear coordinates.

In other words, except for the two high grounds of No. 1 and No. 2, the rest of the areas are basically a few tricks.

But the Guoqi Detachment has more than 40 artillery pieces of all sizes, so they certainly have such willful qualifications.

As the saying goes, if you kill the master with random punches, I am afraid that Takeuchi Yunshan would not have expected that the military order he issued was only a little bit too much to blow up Tang Dao's artillery company.

In order to better support front-line operations, the artillery company selected was not at the rear, but at the foot of a mountain less than 500 meters away from three highlands, surrounded by two Sichuan infantry companies as guards.

Because of communication, together with the defense infantry trenches, the area of ​​the entire artillery position does not exceed 2,000 square meters.

The Japanese army fired a few blindly and fired the closest area to the artillery position, and even more than ten meters away from the trench. The flying shrapnel almost cut an unexpected infantry observation sentry into half.

That was also the first time that casualties occurred on the artillery positions.

If the Japanese artillery barrels were slightly off, not to mention the 105 howitzer weighed 18 kilograms, even the 6.5 kilograms of the Type 41 mountain cannon can also cause a bloody storm on the artillery positions.

This is the characteristic of artillery. The artillery shells are stored on the artillery positions. Once they are detonated, they will basically be the life of all the people.

According to normal circumstances, when the artillery fire is very close to you, the most important thing the artillery should do is to lift the artillery and transfer it quickly to avoid damage to personnel and equipment.

But the officers and soldiers of the artillery company who were ordered to die now had only one idea: to kill the Japanese on the mountain, and as for the others, I will talk about them later!

"Brothers, recharge me and hit him a bastard." From the always calm Fat Dahai waving his arms and shouting loudly on the position, we can see how persistent the artillery soldiers are at this moment.

The determined artillery soldiers ignored the crazy counterattack of the Japanese artillery and persistently shot the shells full of hatred onto the hill covered with blood of soldiers from both China and Japan.

Most of the artillery shell reserves left before the 63rd Army left also made this shelling attack.

The artillery company hit the shells in just 30 minutes and fired out 80 mountain artillery shells, plus 400 mortar shells and 200 machine artillery shells.

I plowed the small high ground from top to bottom, and from bottom to top at least twice, and bombarded it for nearly half an hour.

This was also the most fierce shelling of the entire Mouse Mountain Blocking War, because the reserve of shells had reached an extremely dangerous situation.

But it was this artillery bombardment that also made the Japanese army realize the power of Chinese artillery.

It turns out that when the Chinese have artillery, even the most inconspicuous mortars can still fry them into pieces of meat and become fertilizer for the earth.

Perhaps even the two top commanders of China and Japan, Tang Dao and Guoqian, did not expect that the battle for a high ground would eventually turn into an artillery battle.

The Japanese army relied on their own artillery to carry out an artillery battle that only targeted the opponent's possible hiding place.

Hillside, foothills, canyons, woods, and all locations and areas where opponents' infantry may be hidden may be bombarded.

The Chinese infantry can only hide in the trenches with their heads in their arms and expect that they will not be so unlucky.

China is catching the fixed target of Highland No. 3, and it seems that it will not stop until it blows up the soon-to-be-fall Highland No. 3.

The positions of both China and Japan were all rumbling with cannons.

When the artillery that both sides had vented their own bodies finally stopped, the Japanese army withdrew.

The order to retreat was issued by Kōzaki Shi himself.

Even if the No. 3 Highland, which he had been besieged with various tactics, was right in front of him, even if the Japanese Army Major General knew that there would be no more Chinese soldiers and soldiers on that small highland. Even if he sent a small infantry team, he could easily occupy it.

But he didn't dare anymore, because he was afraid that the Chinese who were already crazy would take this as a trap and wait for his people to go up and bombard them again.

Even if you don’t have to look at the top of the mountain and the hillside, you will know that there will be no more positions on it. The infantry will be just a living target for shells when they go up.

The final result is that he will become the biggest joke of the entire Songhu area imperial army, constantly sending people to become the target of Chinese artillery, and the biggest result is that it consumes some Chinese artillery shells.

Then let the Chinese occupy the high ground again, so that they can turn the Chinese on the high ground into a target for shells.

That's what Kunizaki, who has completely given up the quick battle tactics, planned.

For this purpose, he had requested 5,000 shells from Lieutenant General Sadao of the 18th Division.

Since the Chinese are so tenacious, he is here to answer them with enough shells.

No matter how strong the position is or how tenacious the will is, it is just a hard shell, and the shell is the factor that breaks the shell.

Guoqian's move is vicious enough to make full use of his own advantages and use his own strengths to fight against his other's shortcomings.

However, he misjudged the Chinese soldiers on the other side, and even more misjudged the Chinese commander on the other side.

Tang Dao, who was emotionally excited because of the death of two infantry companies in the battle, was much more fierce and tenacious than he thought.

300 people can die, and 3,000 people can die.

But just these 300 people died, the seven or eight hundred people in the first brigade of the Jing'an Army and a single infantry brigade had been consumed.

If 3,000 people die, how many people will Kwanzaki, the originally awesome brigade-type detachment, survive until after the war?

No one can know the answer!

Just like the war between China and Japan, even though the Japanese are advancing rapidly, even they themselves do not know what the end of the war will be.

Everything has to be fought first before you know the ending.

However, the only thing KUKI can be sure of is that the first day of this offensive and defensive battle ended with his failure.

The blood-red sunset slowly fell into the mountains as the sound of cannons broke.
Chapter completed!
