The Japanese army's eight mountain artillery were set up at a distance of six thousand meters, which was out of the artillery range of the New Regiment and the 358th Regiment.

They felt that it was very safe to build an artillery position in such a position, so they were very relaxed and not vigilant at all.

Indeed, the Jin orogenic cannons equipped by the 358th Regiment cannot hit them, and their mountain cannons are very heavy and difficult to move.

However, the two Type 94 rapid-fire cannons of the new regiment were movable, which the little Japanese had never thought of at all.

The two rapid-fire cannons, under the personal control of Lu Ming and Wang Chengzhu, fired anti-personnel grenades one after another.

After such a long period of training, the artillerymen also have a very good understanding.

The first gunner repeatedly opens and closes the breech, the second gunner loads the shells, and the third gunner continuously delivers the shells.

In one minute, two rapid-fire cannons and more than twenty anti-personnel grenades landed near the Japanese artillery.

Explosions sounded one after another, and the Japanese artillerymen who were bombed fell on their backs. The artillery positions they wanted to build were filled with smoke and dust.

Occasionally, you can still see a cloud of blood mist, which is obviously the result of casualties among the Japanese artillerymen.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming quickly moved with two rapid-fire cannons.

After all, the Japanese artillery still has the advantage and cannot stay in one position for a long time.

"Well done, Lu Ming, Wang Chengzhu, well done to you."

"Hey, hey, did you see that although the Jinsui Army has many artillery, it is useless and cannot cause casualties to the little devils."

"We have a small number of artillery pieces, but one can defeat the Shanxi-Sui Army's ten. This artillery bombardment is enough for the little Japanese to drink a pot."

"Well done, Staff Officer Lu, you really gave us a new group of faces!"

There were cheers on the new regiment's position, and the morale of the soldiers was high.

At first, the Jinsui Army showed off twelve mountain cannons, which really made the soldiers feel aggrieved.

But now the two rapid-fire cannons are firing, and the new regiment is howling like a pack of wild wolves!

On the side of the Jinsui Army position, a group of officers from the 358th Regiment stood in front of Chu Yunfei, with proud expressions on their faces.

Their artillery battalion launched a bombardment and fired a salvo of twelve mountain cannons. The scene was very spectacular.

Although he did not hit the Japs or cause any casualties to the Japs, it still boosted their morale.

The most important point is that they believe that by doing this, they can suppress the new group.

The new regiment became famous after the battle at Cangyunling, so the 358th regiment was naturally unconvinced.

Especially when they were rejected when they planned to take over the position of the new regiment, the whole Jinsui Army was dissatisfied.

They felt that the new regiment's battle in Cangyun Ridge was nothing more than relying on terrain advantages, but now the situation is completely different.

In the words of these officers, it was a complete dream for the New Regiment to hold its position with a few broken guns on this unobstructed plain.

However, they were not happy for long, as the two rapid-fire cannons of the new regiment achieved results.

Chu Yunfei and other officers raised their binoculars to observe. When they saw the Japanese artillery casualties, their faces were not very good.

"They are so courageous. Two rapid-fire cannons dare to fire from close range!"

"With their little wealth, they still dare to challenge the Japs head-on. Aren't they afraid that the two rapid-fire cannons will be destroyed?"

"Just wait and see, the crazy firepower revenge of the little Japs will begin soon, and they will be in trouble."

Several officers said in a sour tone when they saw the new regiment achieve victory.

"People have achieved victory with two rapid-firing cannons, but as for us, twelve mountain cannons can only hear the sound!"

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and said with an obviously unhappy expression on his face.

He, Chu Yunfei, was a true disciple of the Emperor, and he was also a fellow countryman of the commander of the war zone.

Although he is a regiment leader, he has five thousand people under his command. He is simply living the life of a division commander.

However, at this time, he was outmatched by Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army who was born with a mud-legged background, and Chu Yunfei's face became dull.

The officers of the Jinsui Army lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, the Japanese army also launched a retaliatory strike. Eight Type 41 mountain guns fired dozens of anti-personnel grenades directly at the new regiment.

The entire Xinyi Regiment position was instantly filled with gunpowder smoke and dust, but the soldiers had already hid in the artillery holes and there were no casualties.

The sky gradually became dark, and the Japanese artillery positions were gradually completed.

Six thousand meters away from the forward positions of the New Regiment and the 358th Regiment, they set up a mountain artillery position with eight 75MM mountain cannons.

In addition, they set up a mortar position three thousand meters in front of the mountain artillery position, with sixteen 90MM mortars.

At the same time, a combat meeting began to be held here at the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade.

Yuto Hase, captain of the third wing's left wing, and Jiro Fukuda, captain of the fourth wing's left wing.

Wei Jinhe, the major general of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, came here with two regimental commanders.

"The third regiment is responsible for attacking the positions of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."

"The fourth regiment is responsible for attacking the position of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"The 15th Regiment of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army assists the 4th Regiment in combat, and the 16th Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion serve as reserve teams."

"The mountain artillery position and mortar position will provide artillery cover for your attack."

"The time is now eight o'clock in the evening. Prepare immediately after you go back. We will carry out a test attack at five o'clock in the morning and launch the attack at seven in the morning."

After these Japanese and puppet army officers arrived, Koizumi Zhongzuo of the 4th Brigade came to the map and directly issued the combat order.

Immediately afterwards, Major General Hideta Nakamura, commander of the brigade, directly announced the combat policy.

He asked the main force of the Japanese Fourth Brigade to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy and maintain the motivation for subsequent annihilation operations.

The third and fourth regiments control the front of the enemy's position with their main force, and control the flanks of the enemy's position with their effective part.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army is mainly responsible for cooperation operations, and in subsequent annihilation operations, it is responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat.

Nakamura Hideda obviously looked down upon these puppet troops and did not arrange for them to serve as the main force in combat.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." As the order was given, all the officers immediately agreed.

Soon, they began to return to their respective units and went straight to preparations.

This time the Third Regiment was hit one after another. Their organization was incomplete, with only two infantry brigades.

However, Hase Yuto did not take the Jinsui Army seriously, but did not retain the reserve team and all participated in the war.

The First Battalion is responsible for frontal attacks, and the Third Battalion is responsible for flank attacks. At the same time, the Wing Artillery Battalion is assigned to the Third Battalion for operations.

Jiro Fukuda's Fourth Regiment had high hopes this time. They were tasked with annihilating the New Regiment.

Their deployment was that the Fourth Group (Mechanized) deployed a new group on the flank, the Fifth Group attacked frontally, and the Sixth Group served as a reserve.

The artillery battalion followed the fifth battalion in advancing operations, and the 15th regiment of the Imperial Association Army followed the fourth battalion and was deployed on the flank.

The combat deployment of the 4th Regiment was personally arranged by Major General Hideda Nakamura, commander of the 4th Brigade.

The Fourth Group, which had a large number of trucks, motorcycles, and some armored vehicles, was deployed on the flank of the new regiment, but it was deployed in a confusing manner.

This force will not join the fight against the new regiment. As long as the time is right, they will conduct large-scale roundabout operations.
