Although Major General Kei Otani of the Japanese 33rd Brigade was protected by his Japanese escort and escaped the sudden bombardment of He Feiyang's clone heavy artillery unit, he survived, but all his artillery units were completely destroyed.
There were seven, seven or eight, but they were everywhere, and there were corpses of Japanese artillerymen lying all over the place.
In addition, there were 8 Type 97 tanks that were also blown up on the spot, and the Japanese tank soldiers inside were also blown into roasted pigs and parts.
This is why Major General Kei Otani of the 33rd Brigade was so confident before the war that he could not imagine that his proud artillery unit, including his heavy artillery regiment, was about to show its might.
But in the first battle he faced now, before his artillery and heavy artillery troops could show off their might, He Feiyang's heavy artillery troops took the lead and killed them preemptively.
And they were killed very thoroughly. Even his other trump card, the Type 97 tank unit, was destroyed by more than half.
Of the 20 Japanese tanks, there are less than five left.
"Bagaya Road! What kind of China Army are we facing? This is definitely not the Sichuan Army of the China Regional Army with inferior weapons and equipment! It is absolutely impossible. Their heavy artillery unit alone has surpassed us.
The firepower of all the heavy artillery units of the 33rd Brigade! And they also have 155 mm caliber heavy artillery!"
"What exactly is going on and why is this happening?"
The disgraced Major General Otani Kei of the 33rd Brigade, with an expression of disbelief on his face, stared at the corpses of Japanese soldiers scattered in the field in front of him, as well as the tanks and chariots that had been destroyed by bombings.
Keep muttering,
Cursing in disbelief.
But no one could answer him what was going on.
And at this time,
All the heavy artillery troops who were watching He Feiyang launched crazy artillery bombardments from all directions towards the Japanese artillery positions, tanks and chariot troops, and the Japanese infantry positions.
He was immediately stunned by such a shocking scene before his eyes.
Because it was also the first time for them to be so close and experience such a violent bombardment by heavy artillery groups.
And they were still bombing the Japanese troops,
It really shocked and shocked them, and caused them to break out in cold sweat.
Because they are all deeply frightened after being shocked,
Because once the troops of these heavy artillery groups were to shell and bomb the troops of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army and the troops of the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army, then they would all be easily blown into cannon fodder, and not even much residue would be left.
"Is this the power of the bombardment and bombardment of Commander He's heavy artillery group? Why do I feel that they are much more powerful than the bombardment and bombardment of the Japanese heavy artillery group? Even I feel like the bombardment and bombardment scene of the Japanese naval gun group
It’s gone! With one cannonball, a platoon of troops was destroyed in one fell swoop?”
"Hiss! It's really terrifying. Fortunately, Commander He is not our enemy, otherwise he would be much more difficult to deal with than the Japanese! Look at those Japanese tanks and chariots, almost all of them were blown into scrap metal.
None of the Japanese tank soldiers inside survived! It was such a terrible heavy fire attack! How did we infantrymen suffer from such terrible heavy fire and artillery bombing?"
"Then should we take advantage of these Japanese infantry and artillery units to launch an offensive now while they are suffering heavy casualties? Or should we continue to wait for He Regiment's heavy artillery unit to finish all the shelling and bombing before launching an assisted attack? I feel that our next operation will be
, it’s a bit relaxing!”
"Of course we are following the orders of our division commander! He is the commander who communicates with Commander He's heavy artillery unit. We just follow the orders and launch offensive operations! As for the next battle, will it be easy?
Don’t underestimate the enemy too much! Be careful of capsizing in the ditch, what we are facing now are the elite troops of the Japanese, not ordinary miscellaneous puppet troops!”
"It doesn't matter if it's easy to fight or not, in any case, we just need to kill the Japanese with all our strength and kill all these little turtles!"
After the shocking heavy artillery bombardment in front of me,
All the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army were constantly in an uproar and talking about it.
"Hiss! It's a tank! Commander He's tank unit has begun to move into action!"
"Then will we still have a chance to fight in the future? Hiss! There are so many tanks and chariots! And they are even more powerful than the Japanese Bean Tanks!"
"In my entire life, this is the first time I have seen so many tanks in combat! No! This must be the first time I have seen what a tank looks like!"
"Look, the remaining thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese seem to be retreating! They are afraid of the attack of Commander He's tank troops!"
But just when the discussions among the soldiers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army were at their hottest, they suddenly saw more than 30 Sherman tanks heading towards the Japanese army that had been hit by heavy artillery groups on the other side of a road and suffered many casualties.
The 33rd Brigade left with great force.
When they saw so many tanks suddenly appearing, the four remaining Japanese tanks were frightened and immediately evacuated without thinking.
"Tank group, the China Army has a tank group!"
"How come the China Army has a tank group? And the models of these tank groups are things we have never seen before?"
"What kind of China Army are we fighting with? These damn China Army are definitely not ordinary local troops, not those China Local Army with inferior weapons and equipment as the intelligence department said. We are all being attacked.
Those trash in the intelligence agency deceived the intelligence!"
"Oops! We don't seem to have anti-tank weapons, and most of our tanks and combat vehicles have been destroyed. How can we deal with these incoming Chinese tank groups now?"
After the ferocious bombardment by He Feiyang's clone heavy artillery unit was completed, the Japanese soldiers of the 33rd Brigade who had survived the disaster were once again frightened by the lineup of more than 30 Sherman tanks from He Feiyang's unit.
It's boiling.
Even their brigade commander, Major General Kei Otani, was startled by the shocking sight of the tank group in front of him. Then he discovered that his troops seemed to have no anti-tank weapons.
"Baga Yalu! Find a way to blow up these damn Chinese tanks, and have those cowardly tank soldiers who are fleeing come back to fight immediately. Also, call me the Imperial Air Force to come immediately to support the fight. I
We must blow up all these damn Chinese tanks!"
"I want to avenge our tanks that were blown up!"
"Assault! Assault!"
After the fright,
The commander of the brigade, Major General Kei Otani, also had a look of reluctance on his face. He let out the most angry roar in his life and kept shouting.
As he shouted, the panic-stricken Japanese troops behind them quickly began to prepare to meet the incoming Sherman tank group.
