Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 73 is furious!
Near Yangquan.

Japanese front-line headquarters.

"The 2nd Field Artillery Battalion is under attack?"

Lieutenant General Fumisaburo Kawagishi, commander of the 20th Division, looked grim after hearing the report from Chief of Staff Colonel Hisazo Kitamura.

第20师团下辖的第26野战炮兵联队，装备12门105毫米榴弹炮，以及36门95式75毫米野战炮。

The 2nd Artillery Battalion under the regiment is equipped with 12 Type 95 75mm field guns.

"Hi."

Colonel Kishura Kyuzo bowed his head, his expression filled with disbelief and murderous intent:
"This is a call from Major Idei, commander of the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion. The 2nd Artillery Battalion is under attack by the Chinese army. The enemy's firepower is very strong and the situation is critical. Major Idei is requesting reinforcements."

This artillery battalion was deployed about 4 kilometers east of Yangquan City.

Right now, Yangquan City is surrounded by the main force of the 20th and 109th elite locust divisions totaling soldiers.

Although it is night now, the locust army is attacking Yangquan, and all troops are on combat readiness and can support the 2nd Artillery Battalion at any time.

Who was so bold as to do this in the Republic of China?

How dare you launch a surprise attack on the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion?!
Isn't this seeking death?

"idiot!"

The artillery unit was ambushed by the Chinese army. Kawaishi Fumisaburo felt extremely humiliated and slapped the table:

"Since the Chinese army is seeking death, let's grant their wish!"

"Order, troops surrounding the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion, immediately provide support and chop off the heads of all Chinese soldiers who attack the field artillery positions to build a memorial."

The table creaked as it was slammed, and the Japanese combat staff beside it trembled with fear.

"Hi."

Kishura Hisazo suddenly lowered his head, turned around and quickly conveyed the order.

……

In fact, there was no need for the commander of the 20th Division to give orders.

Explosions and dense gunfire were heard at the position of the 2nd Battalion of the Japanese Field Artillery, and the surrounding Japanese infantry could all hear it.

Hearing the gunshots and grenade explosions, the Japanese immediately swarmed towards the position of the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion.

However, at this time, Zhang Dabiao and his guard platoon had already occupied the commanding heights of the reverse slope artillery position.

If the Japanese infantry wanted to reinforce the artillery position, they could only come from the mountainside, which was within the fire range of the guard platoon.

Dense groups of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the artillery position with rifles in their hands. Some of them held torches in their hands, providing Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers with an excellent shooting view.

Seeing the Japanese infantry entering the firing range, Zhang Dabiao roared:
"beat!"

Zhang Dabiao, holding a submachine gun, opened fire first. With a long burst of fire, two or three figures immediately fell forward.

At the same time, the soldiers of the guard platoon opened fire almost synchronously.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Da! Dada! Dada! ... The deafening sound of gunfire filled the air.

Dozens of submachine guns and machine guns spewed flames, and tracer bullets streaked across the night sky like a string of meteors.

The Japanese infantrymen's full attention was focused on the direction of the artillery positions. They had no idea that there were enemies on the commanding heights. Caught off guard, a large number of them were shot down, and dozens of Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

The Japanese reacted very quickly. After the first wave of soldiers were shot down, the Japanese behind them immediately crawled to avoid and looked for cover to fight back.

But unfortunately, the hillside is bare and there is almost no shelter.

The Japanese were exposed nakedly within the fire range of the guard platoon.

The soldiers continued to fire, and the Japanese casualties increased sharply. They couldn't even lift their heads, let alone reinforce the artillery positions.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Several grenades landed on the commanding heights of the mountain top, and the three firing points of the artillery platoon suddenly went silent, and four or five soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Zhang Dabiao looked and saw that there were Japanese grenade throwers firing grenades in the distance. The Japanese grenade throwers were very accurate and almost hit the target with the first shot.

When the Japanese grenade throwers opened fire, the soldiers quickly moved to other positions.

Taking advantage of the brief pause in firepower, the Japanese soldiers halfway up the mountain set up light and heavy machine guns and opened fire to suppress the enemy's firepower.

In the distance, the Japanese grenade throwers continued to fire.

"Platoon leader, the Japanese are coming in more and more." The second squad leader came to Zhang Dabiao and said loudly.

Zhang Dabiao took a look and saw, with the help of the fire from the explosion that ignited the dry grass, that more and more Japanese soldiers were pouring in from the middle of the mountain, covering the entire mountain.

There were shadows of people in the distance, torches winding for hundreds of meters, and more devils were coming to support.

"We have stirred up a hornet's nest."

The second squad leader said again.

"Humph!"

Seeing the Japanese soldiers swarming all over the mountains, Zhang Dabiao spat, sneered, loaded a full drum of ammunition into his submachine gun, his eyes full of coldness.

The Japanese abandoned the reinforcement artillery positions and turned to attack the commanding heights on the top of the mountain.

At this time, the soldiers had changed positions and filled their magazines and drums. Zhang Dabiao pointed his submachine gun at the enemy and fired a burst of bullets: "Fire!"

“Da da da da da…”

Amidst the hail of bullets, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell again.

However, there were too many Japanese soldiers, and even if each member of the guard platoon had an automatic firearm, they would not be able to handle the situation.

Even under the Japanese counterattack, the guard platoon began to suffer casualties one after another.

At the critical moment, Zhang Hu, braving the hail of bullets, reached Zhang Dabiao and shouted, "Platoon Leader Zhang, the Japanese artillery has been destroyed. The regiment commander orders you to evacuate immediately."

"Grenade."

Zhang Dabiao shouted, and the soldiers took out a grenade from their shoulders or waists, pulled out the safety pin and threw it out suddenly.

Amidst a series of rapid explosions, the Japanese soldiers wailed.

Zhang Dabiao fired a burst of bullets downwards and shouted, "Retreat!"

Then the soldiers rushed down the mountain with the wounded.

Soon the Japanese infantry rushed to the top of the mountain.

Just as they were about to shoot at the guard platoon, they were immediately suppressed by the machine gun fire points of the new regiment that had been set up in the artillery position.

Under the cover of powerful firepower, the soldiers of the guard platoon successfully joined up with the first battalion.

"withdraw!"

Li Yunlong gave the order.

The soldiers took turns covering each other and retreated quickly, only running away as soon as they left the artillery position.

The Japs rushed down the mountain in droves, entered the artillery positions, and were about to continue the pursuit.

suddenly.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

A series of explosions occurred on the position of the Japanese 2nd Field Artillery Battalion. The 12 field guns of the entire artillery position and more than 100 Japanese soldiers who rushed into the position were suddenly shrouded in huge smoke and flames.

……

Headquarters of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army.

Upon learning that the 2nd Field Artillery Battalion and the Protection Company were completely wiped out and the Chinese army had escaped, the division commander Kawagishi Fumisaburo became furious and his eyes widened.

He really didn't expect that there would be Chinese troops so bold as to sneak attack his artillery position under the noses of tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops, and even succeed.

Don’t I, a great lieutenant general of the Empire, have any dignity?
What if this Chinese army escapes?

That was the greatest humiliation for Kawaishi Fumisaburo.

He had already anticipated the ridicule from the lieutenant generals after meeting his colleagues.

Fumi-kun Kawaichi, I heard that your field artillery battalion was ambushed and wiped out right under your nose?

idiot!

court death!

Kawagishi Fumisaburo was furious: "Immediately order the 28th Cavalry Regiment to pursue and destroy these despicable Chinese troops!"
