When Li Jianbo brought the mighty 7th Cavalry Division sent by Commander Fu back to support Liu Feiyang's battle, the Japanese troops had already reached Liu Feiyang's frontline position.

The captain of the Japanese 8th Regiment, Taro Sakamoto, still had the same face and demeanor that looked down upon Liu Feiyang's troops.

Even the Japanese troops under his command also had the same expression.

Maybe it's because they haven't received the news about the tragic encounters of the Japanese troops who attacked here the last two times, otherwise he would never underestimate the enemy so much.

In fact, it’s not the fault of Captain Taro Sakamoto, because after the former commander of the Japanese First Army Yoshio Shinohata was attacked by Liu Feiyang’s troops and his life or death was uncertain,

After the headquarters sent Commander Neiji Okamura to take over and the new appointment of Seishiro Itagaki, the two of them also replaced all the previous Japanese officers.

Therefore, the previous Japanese officers were angry and did not tell the new Japanese officers who came to take their place about the special situation of Liu Feiyang's unit.

It is also for this reason that there are still many newly appointed Japs officers in the Japanese First Army who do not know how powerful Liu Feiyang's subordinates are.

They thought that Liu Feiyang's troops were still a weak and useless force that could be easily annihilated.

"Hey! Is this the frontline position of the wealthy 359th Regiment of the Jinsui Army?"

"The fortifications they built seem to be in good condition, but I don't know if these fortifications will still be so strong after being bombarded by our artillery troops!"

"I'm looking forward to what the results will be after the bombing!"

When Captain Taro Sakamoto rode a tall horse to Liu Feiyang's frontline defense position, he also rode on a tall horse, raised the military telescope in his hand, and observed.

With a look of arrogance on his face, he didn't even bother to dismount and observe.

Because he felt that dealing with the fortifications in front of him was just a round of artillery bombardment.

Therefore, he did not pay attention to these newly built fortifications at all.

In addition, since he participated in the Japanese aggressive war, he has never suffered a failure, which further led to his inflated mentality and contemptuous mentality.

"You! Let our artillery troops carry out artillery bombardment immediately!"

"You must blow up all the defenses of the Chinese Army in front of me within ten minutes!"

"I want these Chinese troops to know how powerful the artillery force of our Imperial Army is, and I want them to surrender immediately!"

"Otherwise, if they don't surrender after I cover the artillery bombardment, then I will march straight into their city and kill them all! I will not give these weaklings any chance to surrender by then.

of the China Army!"

When the captain, Taro Sakamoto, casually observed the construction of the fortifications at Liu Feiyang's frontline position, he immediately issued a combat order to his messenger officer, Hiroto Akashi.

"Hai!"

Akashi Hiroto, the messenger officer who was standing next to the tall horse he was riding, quickly agreed.

Then he immediately turned around and left to convey the order to the Japanese artillery troops to conduct artillery coverage operations.

Captain Taro Sakamoto continued to be content, observing the newly built fortifications in front to see how long these fortifications could withstand the bombardment of his artillery unit.

In his mind, he might not be able to withstand even a few minutes of shelling.

But what he didn't know was that the defensive capabilities of Liu Feiyang's frontline positions were very strong, and as soon as the Japs troops approached, they had already begun to prepare for a counterattack.

However, Liu Feiyang made a field phone call to them and gave them an order to wait for the artillery bombardment from behind before they could launch a counterattack.

For this reason, these frontline officers, soldiers, and troops could only hide temporarily and wait for the artillery bombardment from the rear before attacking.

They didn't know what was going on with the bombing by the artillery team in the rear, but they also wanted to see the power of the artillery fire coverage in the rear.

Of course, what they didn't expect was that just when they were thinking about the artillery formation and power of the artillery team behind them, more than a dozen 155mm cannons were ready to go. These large-caliber, high-power artillery can have a range of up to 20

many kilometers,

"The direction of the Japanese troops has been determined. It is in the nine o'clock direction, a little more than a kilometer away from us. We can carry out artillery attacks at any time!"

"Sir, please give the order for bombardment!"

"Because the Japanese artillery force is also preparing for artillery bombing, we must be one step ahead of them to carry out artillery counterattack!"

When all the 155mm cannons were locked and aimed at the direction of the incoming Japanese troops, an officer immediately reported to the battalion commander Zhao Jinguihui.

"Okay! Then let's wait until our rocket launcher company launches the attack, and then our heavy artillery unit will launch artillery bombing! Signal soldiers, give me the order for the rocket launcher company immediately, and immediately bombard the Japanese troops to death!"

"In addition, all the heavy artillery should be directed at the location of the Japanese artillery units, and be ready to bombard according to my orders!"

"This time we must make sure that all these incoming devils will never come back!"

"I want them to know that we are not easy to bully! I want them to know how powerful our artillery team is!"

When the battalion commander Zhao Jingui listened to the report from his communications officer Chen Gangui, he decisively issued the bombardment combat order.

"Yes, battalion commander!!"

After hearing this, communications officer Chen Gangui did not hesitate. He quickly picked up the field phone beside him and called Meng Dahua, the commander of the rocket launcher battery deployed nearby.

The rocket launcher company is a reinforced artillery company, equipped with more than a dozen 105 mm caliber rocket launchers. It is specially designed to cooperate with the bombing operations of the heavy artillery units and carry out forward artillery operations.

Soon, Meng Dahua, the commander of the rocket launcher battery, received a combat order for an immediate artillery attack.

So he did not hesitate and ordered the artillery attack.

As the order was issued, the rocket launcher company, which had already locked the position of the incoming Japanese troops, immediately launched an artillery bombardment.

"Bazooka attack!!!"

"Bazooka attack!!!"

With an order, more than a dozen 105mm rocket launchers launched the most ferocious bombing attack at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

…

…

One after another, dense rocket shells roared out from the launcher of the rocket launcher, and in the most violent bombing posture, the bombs hit the Japanese troops of the arrogant captain Taro Sakamoto who had not yet reacted.

Where has it gone?

Dense bursts of shells rained across the sky quickly, and among the lightning and flint, these dazzling rocket launchers exploded among the Japanese troops.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

…

…

All of a sudden, dozens of 105mm artillery shells exploded one after another right where the terrified captain Taro Sakamoto was.

As for the captain Taro Sakamoto, who had just looked determined to win and looked like he was the only one who had the upper hand, he was turned into cannon fodder by the bombing with an extremely horrified expression on his face.

Even the officers and soldiers of the Japanese troops around him suffered a large number of casualties.

There were shrill howls, calls for help, screams, frightened shouts, and screams.

There were explosions and flames shooting into the sky everywhere, and billowing smoke filled the air.
