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

The Czech semi-automatic rifles fired one after another, and bullets were fired at the little devil one after another.

Many little Japanese riflemen were hit directly by bullets while they were still pulling the bolt of their guns, and fell in a pool of blood.

The sound of gunfire rang out in the silent night, and the little devils in the howitzer position were instantly awakened. They immediately picked up their weapons and advanced towards their defense area.

However, many little devils were hit by sniper rifles as soon as they left the dormitory.

Ten snipers had taken control of the nearby commanding heights, and they started shooting accurately.

Bullets were fired at the little devil one after another. As long as the little devil was targeted by them, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

Mauser rifles are very lethal, and snipers always shoot at vital points.

The bullets hit accurately, and one little devil fell into a pool of blood one after another.

At the same time, the four combat groups also launched operations under the command of their respective team leaders. The three combat groups seized advantageous positions and continued to shoot.

Czech semi-automatic rifles provided them with continuous firepower, and bullets kept hitting the little devil's body.

Monk Wei led nine soldiers to advance quickly. They were snipers and covered by other combat groups, and quickly advanced toward the howitzer.

Not long after, a huge explosion sounded, and a Xiaoguizi 91-type howitzer was directly blown up.

The little Japanese Lieutenant Colonel watched as a howitzer was blown up, flames appeared in the sky, and thick smoke spread in all directions.

His eyes widened and his whole body was shaking.

"Baga Yalu, do your best to protect the safety of the howitzers. We must not let the enemy blow up our howitzers."

"Immediately contact the 110th Regiment and the 18th Regiment and ask them to immediately mobilize troops for reinforcements."

"No matter how many casualties we pay, we must ensure the safety of the howitzer!"

"Why did these enemy troops appear here? How did the two infantry regiments defend Makino City!"

The captain of the Lieutenant Colonel roared angrily, and his eyes turned red.

Howitzers are very important to the little devils. Not to mention the northern Henan region, even in the northern China region, there are not many howitzers.

For the Japanese army with limited resources, if one of these howitzers was destroyed, there would be one missing.

They want to replenish howitzers, but it is very difficult!

Just because this howitzer was destroyed, it would be difficult for the Lieutenant Colonel to explain.

Regardless of whether they had combat capabilities or not, the little Japanese artillery troops took up their weapons and began to participate in the war.

To say that these artillery can still have combat defense capabilities against other infantry.

But when they faced the combat platoon, they were risking their lives.

Czech semi-automatic rifles fired continuously, and the bullets hit the little devil accurately.

Many little devils fell in a pool of blood. They were either shot on the spot or fell to the ground and were seriously injured.

Facing some difficult fire points, ten snipers will quickly start shooting.

Accurate bullets hit the little devil, and these firepower points were quickly knocked out.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, there was another huge explosion from the howitzer position.

Once again there was a howitzer, which was blown up directly.

At this time, two of the six howitzers left at Makino City had been blown up.

Seeing this scene, the Lieutenant Colonel of the Fourth Field Artillery Battalion collapsed on the ground, his face covered with sweat.

Two howitzers were destroyed. The captain of the Lieutenant Colonel knew his fate, and his dismissal was definitely inevitable.

In the city, the 110th Regiment and the two captains of the 18th Regiment had quickly mobilized their troops.

The two captains of the Colonel's Wing were anxious, and their faces became even heavier when they heard the explosions coming from the howitzer position one after another.

"Baga Yalu, what is going on? How come enemy troops appear in the city, and why do they pose a threat to the howitzer position?"

"A howitzer was destroyed before. With the explosion just now, could it be that another howitzer was destroyed?"

"Order the reinforcements to advance with all their strength and rush to the howitzer position quickly to ensure the safety of the howitzer."

"Once more than two howitzers are destroyed, we will all be held accountable."

The captain of the 110th Wing was full of anger, and he roared loudly.

The howitzer position is at the core of the city and belongs to the joint area between the 110th Regiment and the 18th Regiment.

Therefore, once there is a large loss of howitzers, the 110th Wing will definitely be responsible.

Therefore, the captain of the Little Japanese Army was very worried, fearing that the howitzers would continue to suffer losses.

For a time, the attention of all the little devils in Makino City was drawn to the howitzer position.

The 110th Regiment and the 18th Regiment mobilized thousands of troops and quickly advanced towards the howitzer position to rush for reinforcements.

If it were other artillery, the little devil might not be so nervous, but with the 105MM howitzer, the little devil had to pay attention.

That is to say, while everyone's attention is on the howitzer position, the guard regiment has already launched operations.

They sent demolition teams to gradually approach, around one o'clock in the morning on May 29th.

A deafening explosion sounded, which was a gap in the wall in the northeastern area of ​​Makino City.

The guard regiment quickly launched an intensive fire attack. Two guard battalions, one machine gun battalion, and one combat defense artillery battalion continued to fire.

Of course, the Guard Corps troops had fought fierce battles with the Japs troops before, and they also suffered certain casualties.

After all, they had faced the bombardment of twelve howitzers by the Japs before, and they had even faced the main force of the 110th Regiment, the Special Agent Regiment.

These four battalions are not at full strength. For example, the machine gun battalion has 82 Type light machine guns and six MM mortars at full strength.

But now they only have sixteen light machine guns and three 82MM mortars.

However, the weapons and equipment of the guard regiment are still relatively sophisticated, and each department continues to launch fire suppression.

A large number of bullets and artillery shells were fired at various parts of the city wall. Chen Ziyun, commander of the Zhongtiaoshan Guerrilla Command and the 201st Division Infantry Artillery, personally led the charge.

Wu Ziqiang's 358th Regiment, under the personal command of Chen Ziyun, quickly advanced toward the city along the gap.

The regiment is directly under the heavy weapons battalion, and the three infantry battalions directly under the machine gun company provide heavy weapons cover.

Three infantry battalions assembled nine infantry companies and advanced rapidly with cover alternately from front to back. They were rapidly advancing into the city.

At the same time, the Second Artillery Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Battalion began to conduct extended shelling into the city.

Some little Japanese troops prepared to advance towards the gap and quickly blocked it, but a large number of artillery shells came over.

Grenades fell one after another on the team of little devils, and with the sound of explosions, shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.

Many little Japs were struck and directly hit by shrapnel.

Broken arms and limbs were flying everywhere, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The troops blocking the gap were bombarded, and the 358th Regiment quickly followed the gap and entered the city.

At two o'clock in the morning, the 358th Regiment broke through the city defense position and entered the city to fight. At this time, the little Japanese hurriedly mobilized their troops and generals. The 110th Regiment abandoned its city defense positions on the north and east sides and began to go all out to defend the relevant areas.

Two thousand troops were assembled. They first launched a defense and dispatched reconnaissance troops to conduct a search.

The wing headquarters of the 110th Regiment has been established here on the front line, and the captain of the Colonel Colonel personally conducts operations.

At the same time, the 110th Wing also hurriedly contacted the 18th Wing, hoping that the 18th Wing would dispatch troops to support the operation.

As for the howitzer position, the combat platoons had already evacuated one after another at this time.

They blew up three howitzers and moved from the battlefield in time to avoid being encircled.

However, the thousands of little Japs who came to help did not dare to leave the howitzer position easily, for fear that they would continue to be hit.

The troops from both sides began to fight, and various gunfire sounds continued.

Many buildings in the northeastern area of ​​Makino City were damaged. By about five o'clock, the 110th Wing had an overview of the situation.

The captain of the Colonel-General contacted the howitzer position immediately. He was ready to use the howitzer support to quickly launch a counterattack and drive the 358th Regiment out.

But at this time, Chen Ziyun had already issued a combat order, and the security regiment troops had quickly arrived in the city.

The guard regiment, under the command of the regiment leader Chu Yu, began to move south along the city wall and directly carried out combat attacks with the 18th Regiment on the south side of Makino City.

At the same time, the troops of the 601st Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Battalion gathered on the south side of Makino City. They wanted to carry out a pincer attack from inside and outside.

The sky gradually became brighter at this time, and at six o'clock, three howitzers began to bombard.

The 110th Regiment, supported by howitzers, immediately launched a counterattack toward the 358th Regiment's position.

However, Chen Ziyun had already made arrangements, and the battalions dispersed their defenses and continuously launched fire attacks on the Japanese troops.

When the fighting lasted until about eight o'clock in the morning, the little devils stopped attacking.

It was at this time that fierce fighting started on the south side of Makino Castle.

The 18-man troops of the th Regiment stationed on the south side were attacked from both inside and outside and were extremely passive in combat.

The Guard Regiment conducted a fierce attack from the inside, while the 601st Regiment attacked from the outside. The heavy artillery battalion continued to provide artillery support.

Ten 150MM mortars and two 100MM howitzers carried out shelling.

Even though the combat effectiveness of the 18-man unit of the th Regiment is not weak, it is still stressful to face such a blow.

When the fight reached ten o'clock, Matsutaro Tanabe got in touch with the captain of the 110th Wing.

They knew very well that Makino City had been completely breached, so the two of them simply gave up the city defense position.

"This is an elite unit of the Jinsui Army. They have strong combat capabilities. We must defend with all our strength, block their attacks first, and stabilize the front."

Matsutaro Tanabe of the 18th Wing made a judgment immediately and began to deploy.

The little Japanese troops reduced their strength and abandoned their city defense positions.

With the howitzer position as the core, they built two positions in the north and south for defense.

There are more than two hundred artillerymen here in the howitzer position, equipped with three howitzers for support operations, and of course there are a thousand infantry for protection.

The northern position is assumed by the 110th Regiment, which currently has more than troops.

The southern position is assumed by the 18th Regiment. This little devil still has about troops.

In addition, the Little Japanese set up a field hospital near the core position to treat the wounded.

Hundreds of heavy troops are here. They are responsible for transporting the wounded and also transporting ammunition to the front line.

Of course, at critical moments, these heavy troops also have to take up arms and fight.

Regarding the situation here, the two captains of the Colonel-General hesitated for a long time, and they did not make a report for the time being.

After all, if the Jinsui Army troops were to attack the city directly, they would have to bear the responsibility.

In their opinion, they still have more than 5,000 troops. With the help of three howitzers, they still have a chance of winning.

What's more, they also know that if they report now, the only ones who can rush to help quickly are the cavalry troops.

But these cavalry units are not good at street fighting, and they have no effect when they come to the city.

Therefore, the two captains of the Colonel Alliance prepared to launch defensive operations first and continuously consume the Jinsui Army troops.

After these Jinsui troops suffered certain casualties, they launched an all-out attack and drove them out of Makino City.

Once these troops are expelled from Makino City, they will quickly contact the Japanese and puppet cavalry units.

In this way, when the Japanese and puppet cavalry troops come back to support, they will naturally be able to achieve victory.

But the little devil didn't know that Chen Ziyun was personally commanding the battle at this time.

Moreover, there are five regiments and one heavy artillery battalion in action. Such a number of troops is enough to pose a threat to the little Japanese.

What's more, there are still combat platoons deep here in the Little Devils.

Even though they don't have many troops, they can play a big role on the battlefield.

"Hehehe, the little devils have begun to defend with all their strength. It seems that they will not continue to attack."

"Street fighting can give full play to the little devil's individual combat capabilities. Let's not go head-to-head with the 18th Regiment. Let's deal with the 110th Regiment in the north first."

"Brigade Commander Li, Commander Wu, the 358th Regiment is equipped with two 100MM howitzers to contain the 18th Regiment in the south and prevent them from mobilizing to support the northern position."

"I will command the guard regiment, the second artillery regiment, the 601st regiment, and the heavy artillery battalion to attack the 110th regiment."

Chen Ziyun quickly gathered the officers together and directly issued the combat order.

The officers received the order and immediately saluted and agreed.

Without any hesitation, Li Chongtao and Wu Ziqiang led the 358th Regiment to advance directly towards the southern position to contain the 18th Regiment.

Chen Ziyun left the three regiment leaders Shi Yuzhen, Zhou Wenbo, and Chu Yu behind, and he marked them on the map.

This time against the 110th Regiment, Chen Ziyun was ready to break through from the middle.

The combat effectiveness of the 601st Regiment is definitely not as good as that of the 358th Regiment, let alone the Guard Regiment, so this time the Guard Regiment will be the main attacker.

The rest of the troops must be deployed around the guard regiment.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun was also in contact with the combat platoon. He asked Duan Peng to look for opportunities to directly attack the little Japanese command organization.

Of course, here at the Little Japanese howitzer position, the combat platoon still needs to take action whenever there is an opportunity.

The howitzer still poses a greater threat. If it is not destroyed, it will have a great impact on the subsequent battle.

Chen Ziyun made a detailed deployment. After receiving the order, the officers began to go back to make preparations.

At noon, the officers and soldiers had a brief lunch and directly launched combat operations.

Chu Yu commanded the two guard battalions of the guard regiment to take the lead in conducting a tentative attack. Behind them, there were the organic artillery battalion and the combat defense artillery battalion to provide cover.

The Second Artillery Regiment and the Heavy Artillery Battalion provide support at close range. (End of chapter)
