Chapter 158 Fierce fighting in hilly areas

"Hahaha, look at those poor Jinsui Army, they can just let them bomb."

"Lower the altitude and let them drop the bomb directly over their heads."

"Those miserable Jinsui troops will become a pile of minced meat, and not even their intact corpses will be left."

"Huh, what an elite force the Botanians have. If they don't face their aviation force, they will just wait for the slaughter."

"Those Jin-Sui armies have gained victories one after another. If the army headquarters had arranged for them to dispatch earlier, they would have been able to deal with them long ago."

"The base camp should expand the establishment of their aviation force. Their aviation force can easily control all battlefields."

At this time, the Little Japanese Air Force was very arrogant. In their opinion, although the Jinsui Army on the ground had successively achieved victory, they could not defeat all the Jinsui Army.

The bombers began to lower their altitude one after another, and they were preparing to carry out precision bombing to completely destroy the defensive positions.

Zhou Wenbo decisively issued the artillery bombardment order, and the two Liao-made field guns, which were raised to the maximum elevation angle, quickly opened fire.

Two Liao-made Type 14 field guns continued to fire, firing grenades into the air one after another.

In just one minute, twenty grenades were fired one after another.

A bomber that lowered its altitude began to dodge after encountering artillery fire, but was hit accurately by an artillery shell.

There was a "boom" and a huge explosion.

The bomber was torn apart on the spot, and thick black smoke appeared in the sky.

The Moon Army aviation soldiers inside had no chance to parachute and died on the spot.

When the other five bombers saw that scene, they had panic expressions on their faces.

The bombers rapidly increased in altitude, and the eyes of the little Japanese aviation soldier were filled with shock.

Because they never dreamed that the Shanxi-Sui Army troops were very equipped with anti-aircraft guns!

"The horses are moving, and the infantry is quickly assisting."

"Quick, move the field artillery immediately!"

After shooting down a Lunar bomber, Zhou Wenbo quickly ordered the transfer.

The two field guns moved east of the joint operation of artillery and infantry and quickly left their original positions.

Not long after they left, aerial bombs fell there without any warning.

A deafening explosion sounded, and the dozen or so infantrymen trailing behind were instantly covered by the shock wave.

The infantrymen's bodies were instantly lifted up, and then they were thrown heavily to the ground, and died on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhou Wenbo responded promptly, otherwise the two Liao-made field guns would have been destroyed on the spot.

The Lunar Army aviation bombing continued. After learning from the previous lessons, they did not dare to lower their flying altitude.

After the bombing was over, those little Japanese airmen did not have the guts to carry out demonstrative strafing as before.

The bombers immediately left the battlefield one after another, and they did not dare to stop there at all.

Although the bombing by the Buluoyue Army ended, the artillery units of the two detachments launched a covering artillery bombardment.

Six field guns and fourteen mountain guns continued to fire grenades towards the position.

At 7:30, the Lunar Army artillery unit conducted an extended bombardment.

More than 2,000 Yuan troops carried six infantry artillery pieces and quickly advanced directly from the east towards the defensive position.

The more than a thousand Moon Army carried three infantry cannons and began to attack from the flanks.

Twenty mountain guns and field guns continued to shell, and a large number of shells were fired at them as if they were not asking for money.

After the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment met in the Xinxian area, did they receive additional combat supplies?

At present, whether the Japs have sufficient ammunition, they will be able to achieve victory quickly. Colonel Harada asked the artillery to suppress the firepower of the position to the death.

Does he intend to use artillery to continuously bombard the troops and charge directly to the position, thereby taking advantage of the Red Blade Combat of the Moon Army to completely eliminate the Jinsui Army?

Whether it can achieve the effect of completely suppressing the defensive position and whether the Japanese artillery can defeat everything.

The ten Type 41 mountain cannons had a range of just over 6,000 meters. Whether they were completely advancing forward, they did not worry about the artillery attack of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

"Liang Battalion Commander, tell the 1st Mountain Artillery Company and the 2nd Mountain Artillery Company that after the observation team has locked the position of the Moon Army's artillery position, they will launch an artillery attack with all their strength."

"At the same time, contact Zhou Wenbo's field artillery company and ask them to assist in the artillery bombardment. No matter how you do it, please destroy the Moon Army's artillery position quickly."

"The little Japanese infantry in front of Muchengqu is less than 500 meters away from the position. When it is 200 meters away from the position, the Moon Army artillery unit must be defeated."

"If the artillery battalion can't do that, my battalion commander, including the three company commanders, are all required to engage in military law!"

At Chen Ziyun's headquarters, he picked up the phone and contacted Liang Guoping directly.

The continuous bombardment and artillery shelling by the Moon Army caused great damage to the defensive positions.

A large number of little Japs are attacking from the front and flanks. Please let them get close to the position. It will be very dangerous.

Especially if they come to the position and start a red-blade battle, the Jinsui Army troops will be a living target!

Therefore, Chen Ziyun now seeks to suppress the Lunar Army's artillery units with all his strength so that their artillery can no longer continue bombardment.

Without artillery suppression, each battalion's firepower advantage can be fully unleashed.

"Commander Chen, don't worry, they are about to launch an artillery attack."

"The artillery battalion will definitely completely eliminate the Lunar Army's artillery so that they can't bombard their positions."

"He will quickly contact each company and convey your combat orders immediately."

Liang Guoping didn't expect that Chen Ziyun would call him, so he said a little flattered.

After listening to Chen Ziyun's instructions, Liang Guoping did not dare to delay and quickly conveyed the order.

At eight o'clock, the sky was gradually getting dark.

At that time, guided by the frontline artillery observation post set up by the observation team, the artillery battalion launched an intensive bombardment.

Six Bofors mountain guns, five Type 94 mountain guns, and four Liao-made field guns began shelling one after another.

Artillery shells were fired one after another in the distance, and the artillery observation post immediately observed the impact point of the shells.

Some artillery pieces that experienced shooting deviations began to receive adjustment data.

The two Liao-made field guns with complete firing parameter tables have accurately hit their targets.

Two grenades were fired, and a Type 38 field gun of the Moon Army was destroyed on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery battalion made adjustments and began to launch verification shots.

Not long after, fifteen artillery pieces started firing.

One after another, grenades were fired towards the Moon Army artillery position.

The Xiaoguizi Mountain artillery position and the field artillery position were bombarded at the same time, and deafening explosions were heard.

A large number of Moon Army artillerymen barely had time to dodge, and fell into a pool of blood one by one.

At the same time, some artillery pieces were shelled and destroyed on the spot.

The Major Commander of the Lunar Army Artillery Battalion kept sending orders to the East. It was almost impossible for them to request a transfer now.

The artillery battalion continued to bombard the east, and the Moon artillery suffered heavy losses, and they could no longer support the front line operations.

"Da da da."

"Everything."

"Bah bang bang."

The defensive positions are in place, and troops from both sides have begun firing.

Weapons such as light and heavy machine guns, grenadier infantry guns, etc. all launched attacks.

Heavy bullets and artillery shells were continuously fired at the wrong side, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

The Little Japanese troops had a strength advantage, with more than 3,000 troops attacking from the front and flanks.

Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to hold on tenaciously and give full play to the firepower advantages of each squad's light machine guns and submachine guns.

By nine o'clock in the morning, the two infantry companies of the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion, which were controlled by Chen Ziyun's legs, quickly entered the battle.

The artillery pieces of the artillery battalion were also guided by the artillery, and continued to shell the Japanese infantry.

The battle has progressed to this point, and the fighting between the two sides has entered a fever pitch, with both sides suffering a certain degree of casualties.

The little Japanese troops continued to attack, and each attack was repelled, but they would soon organize their troops to continue the attack.

Colonel Harada and Lieutenant Colonel Sato all went to the front line to supervise the battle. They knew that this was their first chance.

If the battle fails, they will not have another chance to attack.

Now they have to continue attacking and quickly break through the position, which is their best choice.

"Warriors of the empire, kill them all!"

"The Jinsui Army troops continued to fight and have suffered heavy casualties."
