Chapter 236: The enemy is in the open, we are in the dark! Strike a heavy blow to the Japanese (fourth update, urgently asking for monthly tickets)

The independent regiment started with a stunning sneak attack.

The slap was so hard that the old Japanese soldier Yingsen Xiao was dizzy.

Although not all the artillery was lost, the death of most of the artillerymen had reduced the artillery regiment to an artillery battalion.

However, the bad thing was not just this, but the Eighth Route Army's artillery disappeared in an instant.

Such powerful attack capability coupled with such flexible mobility.

Takamori Takashi felt a little numb and finally came to his senses from his arrogance.

He began to order the artillery to be transferred and dispersed. It was safe, but the danger to the independent regiment's position was greatly reduced.

Artillery coverage would lose its meaning for such a large position without the advantage in numbers.

Chen Brigade commanded the front.

"Brigade Commander, the electronic reconnaissance team reports that there is dense telecommunications in the area from Lengkou to Guobao Village, which is suspected to be the location of the Japanese command center." The combat staff reported.

Thanks to the development of telecommunications technology, the telecommunications positioning system brought by Ren Zhong has now been distributed to each brigade for supporting use.

Among the several battle groups now fighting on the front line.

Chen Lu is the one who applied these new technologies most thoroughly.

The brigade commander looked at the map and smiled.

The Japanese command center did not come as a surprise to him. After all, there were already many scouts hiding in the nearby mountains.

Report the Japanese's movements to the front command.

A large number of Japanese soldiers stationed in Guobao Village, along with their baggage, had long been a target of suspicion for the brigade commander.

"That's it. Order the tank battalion, 771st Regiment, and 772nd Regiment to get ready to raid Guobao Village tonight!" The brigade commander pointed at Guobao Village and gave the order to the author.

Nanguanzhuang.

"These Japanese are no good. The firepower intensity is too far behind." Zhang Dabiao looked at the frontline position which was only hit by one round of bombing, and looked down on it somewhat.

"This battalion doesn't even know how to prepare for retreat. They should at least fire a few shells at me before they leave." Zhang Dabiao looked at the first company of the first battalion who had retreated from the first line of defense at the front and felt a little disappointed.

"Captain, didn't you say that you were afraid of scaring off the Japanese? The comrades didn't dare to be ruthless." Li Quan, the regimental staff officer next to him, laughed. "It seems that this is the easiest battle we have ever fought. After the cavalry battalion launched the first round of attack, almost all of the Japanese artillery was silenced. It seems to be very effective. Our 107mm artillery can easily deal with the large attacking Japanese army."

The New Third Regiment also had its own 107 artillery battalion. Their first priority was to counterattack the Japanese artillery and eliminate the Japanese artillery threat.

The second task is to provide fire coverage to the enemy forces at the front line.

Now that the Japanese artillery has been silenced, they can just deal with the infantry battalion.

"Don't panic. The 107 guns can't be easily moved. Although the Japanese artillery is now silent, it is not necessarily completely destroyed. Observations from the front line show that many Japanese artillery pieces have moved to other positions. It has not yet been determined where they will stop. We must not be careless."

Zhang Dabiao shook his head.

"Order the frontline mortars to provide artillery coverage and launch a round of strikes against the Japanese troops that have rushed to the frontline positions, so that they won't become too arrogant."

Seeing the Japanese infantry battalions rushing to the first line one by one, Zhang Dabiao issued the first order.

"Boom boom boom" one mortar shell after another fell into the formation of the charging Japanese infantry battalion.

Although the Japanese had already formed a charge formation, they were no match for the dozens of mortars fired by the New Third Regiment, which covered the front line one after another. One after another, the Japanese were blown up and their parts were scattered across the field.

In just a few minutes, a Japanese infantry battalion lost more than 200 people. They suffered such a heavy loss before they even reached the enemy's trenches. The Japanese battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kamiki Iwata, who organized the charge, had bloodshot eyes, raised his command knife, howled, and charged even more fiercely!

However, it was of no use.

As the charging Japanese approached the second line of defense about 200 meters away, machine gun fire from the position suddenly came out and opened fire, instantly mowing down the Japanese charging column like mowing grass.

The Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers began to counterattack in a panic.

But they found that after a wave of strafing, the machine gun fire point on the enemy's position disappeared!

Soon after, RPGs popped up one after another, aimed at the Japanese's grenade launchers and machine guns and started to beat them hard!
After this wave of attacks, the Japanese machine gun fire points and grenade launchers flew into the sky one by one!
Immediately afterwards, the machine gun on the position moved to another location and started shooting!
This set of operations was as smooth as flowing water, and the coordination between each other was completely seamless.

"Well done! With this wave of attacks from the First Battalion, more than half of the Japanese infantry battalion has been destroyed. Next, we need to dodge possible artillery fire from the Japanese. Use mortars to extend the fire to destroy the infantry behind the Japanese!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the exchange of fire at the front position and felt very satisfied.

Although he had only led the New Third Regiment for a short time, their grasp of the timing of this battle did have some of his own characteristics.

First Battalion Commander Chen Da did a good job.

In the current situation, the Japanese's first wave of attack was obviously useless.

However, seeing that the Japanese troops were still advancing in large numbers behind him, Zhang Dabiao knew that the highlight of today's battle was about to begin.

Sure enough, the Japanese artillery soon launched a counterattack. After the first round of exploratory attacks, the Japanese had a certain understanding of the firepower settings on the front line.

The Type 90 infantry guns and mm mortars belonging to the Japanese infantry regiment at the front began to accurately aim at the trenches where the firing points appeared and bombarded them. Although the mountain artillery and field artillery at the back were scattered, they still began to bombard, and the sound of artillery continued on the front line.

Now the people in the next battalion didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. They all hid in the anti-artillery holes and waited for the shelling to end.

The company commander listened closely to the intercom, ready to follow external commands at any time.

In the trenches, there were walkie-talkies for direct contact with the battalion headquarters and regiment headquarters, so there was no shortage of information.

When the artillery bombardment came, the Japanese soldiers were not idle and started a mad charge. This time they finally captured the first trench as they wished. The Japanese soldiers lay in the trenches gasping for breath, feeling relieved.

Looking at the Japanese rushing to the first trench, Zhang Dabiao smiled strangely.

"Notify the first battalion to detonate the first trench!" Zhang Dabiao said coldly.

This place was built by them. At the beginning, they designed a strategy to lure the enemy deep into their territory. Someone suggested burying artificial mines in the trenches!
It is mainly buried on the side of the trench and is not easily triggered by accident.

With the abundant supply of mines now available, Zhang Dabiao readily agreed to this vicious idea.

A circle of artificial mines was laid along the first trench.

After the order was given, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the second trench 200 meters away began to detonate the mines they were responsible for. Within a few minutes, a burst of intensive mine detonation sounds were heard in the first trench.

Nearly a squadron of Japanese soldiers who rushed into the first trench were killed in the trench!
After the mines buried on each side exploded, they covered the trench indiscriminately and without blind spots. This time, the Japanese left in an orderly manner, leaving no one alive.

In this way, within more than half an hour after the attack began, an entire battalion of the Japanese devils was almost wiped out.

Although there is no dangerous terrain here, it is like hell to the Japanese, swallowing up anyone who dares to enter the front line.
