Chapter 179 Infantry and Cannon Cooperation!

"Captain, Chief of Staff."

At this time, a staff officer ran up to the roof of the bunker command and reported to Xu Rui and Luo Youdu: "The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping and the second battalion commander Liu Shuoming reported that there were few casualties caused by the Japanese bomber bombing."

"According to the prior air defense preparations, when the Japanese bomber group attacked, almost all the defenders on the mountain had been ordered to enter the air raid shelter behind the mountain. Only a few soldiers were killed by the bombing, and a few were injured."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rui and Luo Youdu looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, we made preparations for air defense in advance.

Otherwise, the soldiers of the First and Second Battalions on the ground positions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain were completely lost.

"Order Chen Zhenping and Liu Shuoming to keep their air defense vigilance at any time. When the Japanese bomber group returns, they will definitely return to the Japanese airport to load ammunition for aviation bombs and aircraft machine guns."

Xu Rui said to the staff officer who came to report, "Let them not relax."

“Yes, the group.”

The staff officer who ran up to report the situation stood attentively and saluted, then turned around and ran down the roof.

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, together holding a telescope, looked out of the city from a high place.

At this time, on the Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, a large number of trees were burned to death on the bombed mountains.

The rolling smoke on the battlefield was floating on the two hills.

Of course, Nagata Taro and Major General Takera Takeru Kenshoro also saw this scene clearly.

"Souga,Souga!"

Taro Nagata held up a telescope and observed the scene after being bombed on Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe. He said to Kensalo Takera with satisfaction: "The bombers of the empire are worthy of being powerful. The heavy aviation bombs have blown up the surface positions of the enemy on the two hills to the point of being riddled with holes."

"But, I don't seem to see the bodies of enemy soldiers on the mountain being blown out."

Kensalo Takeraki heard this and said, "Maybe he was blown to pieces by the Imperial Army bombers?"

"Maybe!"

The smoke of smoke was rolling on the bombed mountains of Dabei and Kobe Mountain, and the vision was a bit blocked. In addition, the distance was far, Taro Nagata felt that Kensawara's statement made some sense.

But after thinking about it, the commander of the enemy 303rd Regiment would not be unable to see the threat of the Imperial Army's fighter jets.

"There should be an air raid shelter!"

Taro Nagata then said: "It seems that bombing may not necessarily kill all the enemy defenders on Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe."

"There should be the remaining troops!"

Kensalo Takerado nodded and said, "It is very likely what the division commander said."

"Although, I observed from the telescope that although the enemy positions on Mount Dabei and Mount Xiaobei were riddled with holes in the Imperial Army's aviation bombs, their positions were still there."

After a pause, Kensalo Takera said, "The division commander, you can let the artillery corps start shelling."

"Um!!!"

Seeing that the bomber had returned and the roar of the plane had disappeared, Taro Nagata said to Kensawara Takeru: "Order the artillery corps in the rear to shell the Chinese people according to the calibrated shelling, and immediately form a group of shells of Mount Dabei and Mount Kobe."

"Instruct the 20th Infantry Brigade and the 21st Infantry Brigade to the division shall each send an infantry brigade of troops according to the command plan and launch an attack under the coordinated cover of artillery fire."

Kensalo Takerata bowed heavily and said, "Yes, division commander." He immediately sent someone to order the ground attack to begin.

One minute later, all the artillery of the Artillery Regiment belonging to the 36th Division of the Japanese, and the six Type 92 infantry artillery of the 41st Infantry Regiment belonging to the 3rd Brigade began to bombard the artillery elements calibrated by Dabeishan and Xiaobeishan before the war.

"The target is Dabei Mountain, the enemy's position on Xiaobei Mountain, with a distance of 1,300 meters, with a height of 2, and a left to the right of 0,003, no base number, and a shelling for three minutes, and a launch!!!"

As Colonel Taro Ishino, the artillery corps leader of the 36th Division, raised the commanding triangular flag in his hand, all the Japanese artillery soldiers immediately loaded the shells, then pulled the cannon rope and fired the cannon suddenly.

"Bangbang, bangbang!!!"

The sound of shells coming out of the chamber sounded, and then under the sunny and beautiful visibility, the shells whistled and headed towards the Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain more than 1,300 meters north.

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish!!!"

Soon, in about a few seconds, the harsh shells whistled densely.

The defenders on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain did not come out at this time, but they all heard the sound of Japanese shelling from the air-raid shelters on the two hills.

"Made, the Japanese have shelled!"

A veteran in the 303rd Regiment of the air-raid shelter cursed.

"105mm diameter, 75mm diameter, and 70mm diameter."

Some veterans of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army accurately judged the caliber of the Japanese guns that fired the artillery shells after the bombing of the Japanese shells.

At this time, the rumbling explosion sounded and spread among the defending positions on Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The dense explosions soared into the sky on and below the Dabei Mountains and Xiaobei Mountains.

The explosion of gunpowder immediately spread densely.

Since this is a concentrated artillery bombardment of the Japanese artillery cluster, of course, compared with the bombing of the Japanese bomber fleet just now, the intensity is obviously not the same level.

Therefore, Chen Zhenping, the first battalion commander of the hidden bunker in Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain, and Liu Shuoming, the second battalion commander, saw through the observation ports of their respective battalion commanders, and saw the situation of the Japanese shelling positions on their respective mountains being shelled by Japanese.

On Dabei Mountain, the observation portal of the command post of the First Battalion Department.

The first battalion commander Chen Zhenping saw through the observation port the situation of his own defending positions on Dabei Mountain.

"Made, the Japanese have concentrated at least forty artillery!"

Chen Zhenping said in surprise.

"Battery Commander, look, the Japanese infantry are coming up!"

At this time, a battalion officer standing beside Chen Zhenping quickly pointed to the distance below the mountain. The Japanese infantry that began to appear began to rush up under the cover of artillery fire.

"Mad, come up with at least one infantry brigade."

Chen Zhenping soon saw the forces of at least one infantry brigade of the Japanese, and launched a scattered attack formation in the form of a small team, and followed him with less than fifty meters of his own artillery bombing point.

"There are no fear of blowing one's own people to death."

Chen Zhenping suddenly became solemn when he saw the Japanese using the attack tactics of joint artillery as soon as he came up.

"Battery Commander, there is also a Japanese infantry brigade's troops in the direction of Xiaobei Mountain. It is also an attack of the coordinated attack of infantry and artillery!"

At this time, the battalion officer who had just spoken to Chen Zhenping pointed to Xiao Beishan and exclaimed.

"At this time, we attacked Dabei Mountain and Xiaobei Mountain at the same time!"

Chen Zhenping said in a silence: "This old Japanese devil, Taro Nagata, has such a way of playing as soon as he comes up."

"It seems that we can directly divide the troops into one infantry brigade to attack Dabeishan and Xiaobeishan!"

After a pause, Chen Zhenping then ordered: "Order the first company and the second company to be prepared."

"When the Japanese rushed to the mountainside less than 30 meters, they would only be able to open fire! Let the artillerymen operating the flying thunder cannon be prepared. This time, they will eat the Japanese troops who came up to test it."

The battalion chief said with a serious expression, "Yes, battalion commander."
