People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 109
The six Bofors cannons of Li Yang's Artillery Company launched effective fire, and one after another grenade hit the Japanese artillery team's position.

At this time, the Koichi Mori Artillery Team had received an order from the brigade headquarters, and the eight mountain cannons and eight field cannons immediately adjusted their shooting angles.

These sixteen artillery pieces were ready to launch a fierce shelling attack on the forward starting position, thus launching an attack on the troops of the Jinsui Army.

Even if the little devils knew that there were still troops from the Imperial Association Army on the starting position, they didn't care about the life and death of the puppet army at all.

They wanted to cause casualties to the Jinsui Army troops through shelling, and then the Japanese infantry rushed over and wiped them out.

It's just that the artillery team was preparing to shell, and a grenade fell nearby.

With the sound of the explosion, countless shrapnel quickly spread around.

The scorching air wave brought up countless dust, and the invisible shock wave destroyed everything to its heart's content.

Several little devil artillerymen were hit and fell in a pool of blood on the spot.

A grenade fell precisely near a Type [-] field gun, and the Type [-] field gun was destroyed on the spot.

The stump of the broken arm slowly fell from the air, and the bright red blood was sprayed on the overturned field gun.

The Second Artillery Company continued to shell, and shells landed on the Japanese artillery positions one after another.

With the sound of explosions one after another, the entire artillery position was in chaos.

During the day, the Japanese artillery immediately launched a suppressive artillery attack after locking the approximate position of the artillery battalion.

But they didn't shoot Zhu Yuan accurately, so they didn't pose much threat to the artillery battalion, but forced the artillery battalion to shift its position.

However, the Japanese artillery underestimated the strength of the Chen Ziyun Artillery Battalion, and the Japanese artillery remained in place for a whole day.

Chen Ziyun had a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he asked the observation team to observe, and on the other hand, he asked the cavalry company to search.

They mastered relatively accurate shooting methods, so Li Yang commanded six Bofors mountain guns to continue shelling, and the results were soon achieved.

One field artillery and two mountain artillery were destroyed, and dozens of artillerymen suffered casualties.

As soon as Lieutenant Captain Mori Muheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but froze in place, with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Baga, how could they shoot Zhuyuan so accurately, their artillery would not have such ability to lock our artillery position!"

"Damn it, what is the origin of this Jinsui army artillery, they have such ability."

"Transfer the artillery quickly, and absolutely not let the artillery pay for the loss again!"

"Contact the Artillery Observation Post and find their artillery position!"

"The long-range artillery positions are ready for shelling. This time we must completely destroy their artillery positions!"

Koichi Mori reacted quickly, and he roared loudly.

The Japanese artillery began to get busy, and the six mountain artillery and seven field artillery began to be transferred.

Compared with the Chen Ziyun Artillery Battalion, the Japanese Artillery Force is more complete.

Strong mules and horses began to drag the artillery for transfer, and a large number of artillerymen also began to transport the artillery shells away.

Of course, in the process of their transfer, the shooting of the six Bofors mountain guns still caused them some casualties!
The artillery team was temporarily unable to conduct shelling, and at this time at the forward starting position, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was completely defeated.

The more than 100 troops commanded by Chen Ziyun and others all came to the trenches.

They wiped out more than 300 puppet troops, captured more than 200 people, and the remaining more than [-] people fled in embarrassment.

Even some puppet troops directly discarded relatively heavy heavy machine guns, mortars and other heavy weapons when they fled.

"Your Excellency, Captain, it's not good. The artillery position was attacked by the artillery of the Jinsui Army, and it is temporarily unable to provide support for us."

"The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was completely defeated by the Jinsui Army, and the current starting position has been captured by the Jinsui Army."

"According to the report of the defeated Imperial Association Army, the attacking Jinsui Army is well equipped, and they are all equipped with automatic weapons!"

At this time, here in the 11th Brigade of the Independent Infantry, they were very close to the starting position, so they quickly received an order to counterattack.

Captain Shao Zuo commanded more than 400 little devils to advance towards the position, but soon a Japanese second lieutenant ran over to report.

The 11th Brigade of the Independent Infantry was the main attacking force during the day, and its 800-strong force suffered more than 300 casualties, so there were not many combatants.

Originally, the brigade and regiment headquarters of the Japanese army hoped to completely disrupt the attack deployment of the Jinsui Army through heavy shelling.

The more than 400 Japanese troops took advantage of the chaos to attack the past, and then used hand-to-hand combat to solve the Jinsui army.

But now that it has lost artillery support, it is obviously difficult for the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade to continue to advance the attack.

When Captain Shao Zuo heard the report, he raised his binoculars to observe, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"They must not be allowed to stabilize their position, otherwise they will use the starting position as a base and continue to advance towards us, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"They only have more than 100 people, and all of them are equipped with automatic weapons, so as long as we can quickly enter the trenches, we can start hand-to-hand combat."

"The Jinsui army is not good at hand-to-hand combat. We can annihilate them by surprise, and now our troops still have the advantage."

"Order, the grenadier units of each team fire smoke bombs to cover their shooting sight!"

"The light machine guns were set up quickly, and the covering troops advanced quickly!"

"Using the cover of smoke, the riflemen advanced into the trenches and threw grenades before immediately engaging in hand-to-hand combat."

"Warriors of the Empire, kill them!"

Captain Shao Zuo drew out his saber, he waved it directly, and said with a serious expression on his face.

The little devil's troops immediately started to move, and a grenadier and a light machine gun were quickly set up.

The Japanese Independent Infantry Brigade has three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron.

Each squadron is fully equipped with nine light machine guns and nine grenadiers.

Of course, the 11th Brigade of the Independent Infantry was hit, and it was definitely not at full strength.

But they still have about [-] light machine guns and more than a dozen grenadiers.

Smoke bombs began to be fired one after another, and the white smoke instantly enveloped the starting position.

With the cover of smoke, more than 200 little devils quickly advanced towards the forward position with rifles in hand.

Inside the trenches, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and with the cover of white smoke, the soldiers could not see the actions of the Japanese army clearly.

Chen Ziyun's brain was working quickly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Soon, he began to issue combat orders.

The soldiers who entered the trench quickly retreated and abandoned the trench.

They withdrew from the trenches and scattered and hid at a distance of 40 meters from the trenches.

At the same time, these soldiers prepared the grenades on their bodies and waited for the order to throw them.

Not long after, the 11th Brigade of the Independent Infantry took action again.

They assembled the grenades and started intensive bombardment of the starting position, and one after another grenade hit the starting position.

There was an explosion, and the starting position was filled with smoke and dust, but the soldiers had already evacuated without any harm.

When the grenade stopped shelling, more than 200 little devil riflemen crossed the smoke area.

They threw grenades into the trench one after another, and as the explosion sounded, these little devils quickly jumped into the trench.

Of course, the little devils would not notice anything in the trenches.

"Throw a grenade!" Chen Ziyun gave the order decisively.

More than 100 soldiers threw the prepared grenades into the trench one after another, and then they took submachine guns and shelled a carbine to kill one.

The little devils in the trench were first hit by grenades, and many little devils wailed in pain.

By the time they reacted, a large number of officers and soldiers had already appeared in front of them.

A submachine gun made in Jin, and a shell gun made in Jin started shooting.

The officers and soldiers stood on the top of the trench, shooting condescendingly, and a little devil was instantly beaten into a meat sieve!
And the two infantry platoons, one machine gun platoon, and twenty Jin-made light machine guns quickly penetrated towards the flanks for cover.

These troops launched attacks directly from the flanks, attacking the little devils with light and heavy machine gun grenades behind them.

Fierce gunfire kept ringing, and the 11th Brigade of the Independent Infantry was completely caught off guard.

At about [-]:[-] in the middle of the night, the captain of Shao Zuo led the remnants to evacuate in embarrassment.

At this time, their more than 400 troops, after the attack, had less than 100 soldiers.

The forward starting position of the Japanese and puppet troops was completely captured by the guard company.

Up to now, they have killed and injured more than 700 Japanese and puppet troops, and captured more than 200 puppet troops!

According to the situation on the battlefield, Chen Ziyun immediately called the messengers and began to convey the combat orders one after another.

The guard company plus the light machine guns drawn from the battalions, and the submachine guns advanced directly along the left side.

The Zhangwu cavalry company advanced from the right side, and the two troops advanced in a balanced manner, giving way to the middle part.

The two artillery companies stopped shelling and moved at the same time to quickly re-establish artillery positions and wait for follow-up combat orders.

The counterattack of the artillery battalion did not end with this!
It was at this time that the Fujita Battalion had already started fighting the new regiment on the battlefield towards Wanjia Town.

Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, which was directly under the machine gun company, and the artillery platoon attacked Fujita's brigade in an ambush.

The troops of both sides fought fiercely, and the outcome was hard to tell for a while.

At this time, the strength of the two troops was about the same, but in terms of weapons and equipment, the Fujita Battalion clearly had the advantage.

They have eight heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, more than 20 light machine guns, and more than 20 grenade launchers.

Li Yunlong's new regiment had only one infantry artillery, six heavy machine guns, nine light machine guns, and four grenadiers.

Fortunately, the new regiment has the terrain advantage, and they are very powerful, so they can still deal with it.

However, at the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Mixed Group, Major General Shotaro Katayama, head of the brigade, was full of anger.

He stood in front of the map with a gloomy expression, his hands clenched into fists.

After knowing that the 11-man unit of the 800th Independent Infantry Battalion was beaten down to dozens of people, Shotaro Katayama was furious!
"Attack, attack with all your strength, and completely tear the Jinsui Army's attacking troops!"

He knocked on the map angrily and roared loudly.

　Big guys, it's on the shelves, and I bow to thank you for your subscription support.
