Bombers began to arrive over the battlefield one after another. In order to support the Iida detachment in the operation, the Japanese army specially dispatched six bombers.

Aerial bombs fell on the outer positions of Shanyang City. With the sound of huge explosions, deep pits began to appear on the ground.

Taijiro Iida, the leader of the Iida detachment, raised his telescope for observation, with a proud expression on his face.

Immediately afterwards, the bombers came to the area west and north of Shanyang City again and began to bomb the artillery positions.

However, at this time, the exposed position of the 1st Artillery Battalion had already been moved, and the Japanese bombing did not achieve much effect.

As for the position of the Third Artillery Battalion, the Japanese army never locked its specific location, and the bombing was only blind, and naturally there was no gain at all.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, following the order from Taijiro Iida, a thousand men from the 73rd Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army began to dispatch.

These thousand puppet troops advanced directly to the north of Shanyang City, and their main task was to search for the artillery positions here.

Of course, they were also bait thrown by Iida Taijiro. He wanted to see how the defense was in the north.

The previous all-out attack was repelled, and the Japanese army quickly realized the role of these artillery units of the guerrilla detachment.

Therefore, Taijiro Iida adjusted his deployment in time. He was preparing to deal with the long-range artillery north of Sanyo Castle first.

At the same time, he was preparing to deploy the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops here to storm Shanyang City after solving the third artillery battalion here.

Of course, there is another important point, that is, he is waiting for the mortar troops to come with special ammunition to join the battle.

These things are magic weapons for breaking through strong positions, and Taijiro Iida attaches great importance to them.

The Thousand Emperors Alliance Army quickly advanced towards the area north of Shanyang City, and they were very fast.

At this time, here north of Shanyang City, the 1st Battalion of Wang Chengzhu Artillery, the 3rd Battalion of Tang Jingchun Artillery, Sun Ming Guard Battalion, and Wei Heshang Guard Company were assembled.

The two artillery battalions have dispersed artillery positions, and guard troops provide them with protection.

At the same time, the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment deployed by Wang Huaibao in Shanyang City has been transferred according to the order.

They were deployed towards the area west of Shanyang City and were responsible for the connection between Shanyang City and Huaiqing City.

At this time, the deployment of the guerrilla detachment was to deploy the main force along Shanyang City to Huaiqing City.

The area south of Shanyang City was completely opened up, and the main artillery force was concentrated in the area north of Shanyang City.

The Japanese troops can make a detour from the area south of Shanyang City, and this is a trap set for the little devils.

Once they make a large-scale detour from the area south of Shanyang City, the guerrilla detachment can quickly launch a blockade according to the situation.

In this case, the Japanese outflanking troops will become completely isolated and completely annihilated by the guerrilla detachment.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lu Ming, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. This brain is so useful."

"The first artillery battalion has been transferred, and Wang Huaibao's third battalion cannot receive artillery support. With your adjustment like this, the passive situation instantly becomes a proactive situation."

"Amazing, really amazing. With your help, we, Lao Li, can command these thousands of troops with ease."

"We will definitely be able to achieve significant results in this battle. Lu Ming, tell us if we can kill the 35th Division."

On a high ground north of Shanyang City, Li Yunlong looked at the map with joy on his face. He looked at Lu Ming and said.

Li Yunlong is now very ambitious and wants to deal with the 35th Division.

Before Lu Ming had time to speak, Operations Officer Li Xiang quickly came over to report that a thousand soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army were rapidly advancing towards this place.

"Why are you so polite? Eat them in one bite!" Li Yunlong stared and said directly.

There are currently Sun Ming Guard Battalion and Wei Monk Guard Company here, with a total strength of about 500 people.

But these troops are equipped with either submachine guns or shell guns.

In particular, the Wei Monk Guard Company is equipped with a large number of Czech semi-automatic rifles.

In terms of military strength, these troops are naturally at a disadvantage, but in terms of weapons, they are completely capable of crushing the Imperial Alliance Army.

Moreover, the Sun Ming Guard Battalion has also been strengthened with a Shanxi-made mountain artillery battery, equipped with four Jin-made 75MM mountain cannons.

Li Yunlong issued the order, and Lu Ming immediately made the deployment.

The mountain artillery company attached to the guard company blocked the frontal attack, and Sun Ming's guard battalion surrounded it on both sides.

Fierce gunfire began to sound, and dense bullets were fired one after another.

Wei Monk and Wang Xikui's guard company took the lead in joining the battle.

The whole company launched firepower, and the puppet troops were beaten until they were stunned.

Twelve light machine guns, thirty submachine guns, thirty sniper rifles, and one hundred Czech semi-automatic rifles.

The intensive firepower killed and injured a large number of the puppet troops, and the first round of firepower killed more than 200 of them.

When the puppet battalion commander saw this scene, his face was filled with astonishment. His eyes widened with an incredible expression.

"Barracks, this... they seem to be equipped with a large number of Czech semi-automatic rifles!"

"Although we have a military advantage, we are no match at all. Let's retreat quickly."

"Barracks, this must be Li Yunlong's most elite unit. If we don't leave, we may be annihilated."

There were some knowledgeable people in the puppet army. Seeing that a large number of puppet troops were being suppressed, they immediately made suggestions.

The Czech semi-automatic rifles equipped by the guard company all use ten-round magazines!

The most important point is that this semi-automatic rifle can be used with the 20-round magazine of the ZB26 Czech light machine gun.

Therefore, the rifleman also carries a twenty-round magazine, which can be used with the light machine gun and can support each other at critical times.

Under such intensive firepower, the puppet troops suffered heavy casualties.

Their machine gun fire was quickly dealt with by snipers, unable to suppress the firepower of the guard company.

Seeing this scene, the puppet battalion commander had a solemn expression on his face, and he wanted to give an order to retreat.

But at this time, Sun Ming's guard battalion directly surrounded him from both sides.

Four Jin orogenic cannons fired, and the double gunmen of the guard battalion began to use rifles to shoot at long distances.

A large number of submachine gunners advanced rapidly under the cover of artillery and rifles.

After reaching the shooting range, the submachine gun began to fire.

At around ten o'clock, the guard company launched a counterattack under the command of Monk Wei.

Submachine gunners and semi-automatic riflemen charged towards the puppet troops one after another.

By 10:30, the 1,020 Japs of the 73rd Regiment of the Imperial Association Army were completely wiped out, and none of them escaped.

A large number of weapons and equipment directly became the trophies of the guerrilla detachment.

Taijiro Iida quickly received the report, with a solemn expression on his face.

The Thousand Emperors Alliance Army was easily defeated, which let him know that the defense on the north side of Shanyang City was also very strong.

However, at this time, he also discovered the flaw in Shanyang City's defense, which was the area south of Shanyang City.

He quickly mobilized the 219th Regiment, the Field Artillery Regiment and the mortar unit that had just been supported, and quickly advanced towards the area south of Shanyang City.

Iida Taijiro was preparing to open a gap from here and quickly capture Sanyo Castle.

The 220th Regiment launched a fierce attack towards the north of Shanyang City to contain the artillery positions here.

The search team quickly penetrated and cut off the artillery position's way back to Shanyang City.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese troops once again launched a fierce battle against Shanyang City.

At this time, the main force of the independent regiment began to shrink its troops and fully defended the defensive positions in the city.

With the assistance of artillery, the 219th Regiment quickly opened the gap in the city wall.

A large number of Japs began to rush into the city, but they were stubbornly blocked by the first battalion, the second battalion, and the artillery units directly under the regiment.

Troops from both sides started fighting in the city, and for the little devil, this was simply the beginning of a nightmare.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment relied on civilian houses as bunkers and hid in various places, waiting for the Japs to appear before they concentrated on attacking them.

The snipers in each class showed their greatest value.

They were elusive and fired continuously. Imp machine gun shooters, grenade launchers, and non-commissioned officers became their main targets.

A series of light and heavy machine guns completely blocked the main streets, making it difficult for the little devils to move.

Of course, the Little Japanese light and heavy machine guns have become targets in many aspects.

The 60MM mortar and the 50MM grenade launched grenades one after another to strike.

The little Japanese's artillery was attacked by the battle defense artillery battery, mortar battery, and mountain artillery battery directly under the regiment.

The 219th Regiment is fighting in the city, and it can be said that it is difficult to move forward. Their casualty numbers are constantly increasing.

By 12 o'clock in the morning, the captain of the 219th Regiment's Left Wing counted the casualties.

Only then did he realize that since they entered the Shanyang City area to fight, their unit had already paid a price of about 800 casualties.

Under such circumstances, the captain of the Great Left Alliance quickly ordered the troops to withdraw from Shanyang City.

He started to generate electricity and asked Iida Taijiro for instructions to use special bombs to attack.

At this time, in the area north of Shanyang City, the 219th Wing's attack was frustrated, and the 220th Wing's progress was also not smooth.
