The fierce battle lasted for less than fifteen minutes. Under the desperate attack of a large group of Japanese troops, all the Sichuan soldiers deployed by He Feiyang on the front line were killed on the battlefield. No one retreated or retreated.
He Feiyang and all the Sichuan officers and soldiers in his reserve team were very sad and resentful that this group of Sichuan soldiers he had selected as death squads died in battle and fought so bravely until the last moment of their lives.
Therefore, everyone was waiting for He Feiyang's order to attack, preparing to kill a few more Japanese to avenge the dead brothers.
When the battle on the front line is over,
"Report! Your Excellency, Captain! The frontline positions of the local Chinese Army have been captured by our Imperial Army!"
"Our troops are already there, cleaning the battlefield. Please give us your instructions, Captain!"
The Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata quickly received the report from the Japanese officers and soldiers.
"Yo Xi! Yo Xi!"
"You are all the most heroic warriors of our Imperial Army, and you are all able to fully occupy these damn China Army positions within the time required by me!"
"Have you captured any local Chinese troops alive? I really want to see what these local Chinese troops are like!"
"Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of their most elite German weapon masters. It's really surprising!"
After listening to the report from the Japanese officers and soldiers on the front line, the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata was also in a very cheerful mood and laughed.
"Hai!"
"There is no living place for the Chinese Army. All of them have been annihilated by our Imperial Army!"
"Your Excellency Captain!"
Looking at the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata who was in a good mood, the Japanese officer Yuzo Asahara who had been reporting to him quickly nodded and bowed respectfully in response.
"Sigh! Are they all dead?"
"Well! Forget it, who told our imperial army to be so brave? If you die, just die!"
"When we wait for the next battle, we must capture a few live local Chinese troops to practice our marksmanship and sword skills!"
"Of course, the most important thing is that I really want to see if they are not afraid of death!"
"Hahaha! When I think of their suffering and panic under our torture, I can't help but want to laugh!"
"These damned Chinese troops dare to resist the attack of our imperial army, they all deserve to die! And we can't let them die happily!"
"Immediately take me to the occupied China Army position, take a rest there, and immediately continue to advance our troops. We must cooperate with our large troops to fully recover Chenjiahang before the sun goes down tonight, and these places
All the Chinese troops were wiped out!"
"This is the combat order from your Excellency, our division commander!"
When the Japs Captain Keisuke Shibata heard that his troops had captured the Sichuan Army positions without a single living Sichuan Army soldier, he was slightly disappointed and then said with a ferocious smile.
Because he has not yet given up his plan to capture a few Sichuan soldiers alive and torture them in the next war.
"Hai!"
After hearing the instructions, Japanese officer Yuzo Chaohara quickly agreed.
Then, he immediately led the way.
In fact, he must lead the way, because during the fierce battle just now, the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata personally went to the battlefield and commanded the troops to carry out a crazy attack.
So his current location is actually not very far from the frontline position where the Sichuan soldiers lost their lives.
It was only a short distance, so the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata quickly arrived at the destination with the Japanese officer Yuzo Asahara, escorted by a group of fully armed Japanese troops.
"Hey! This is the position where the Chinese army was located in those places just now?"
"There are no hidden trenches or anything like that here, there is simply no danger to defend!"
"But these Chinese troops actually resisted our imperial army, advancing at a speed of almost half an hour?"
"This is really something our third team must reflect on!"
After arriving at He Feiyang's frontline position, the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata carefully looked around the surrounding environment and immediately gave a serious lecture to the Japanese officers and soldiers under his command.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
All the Japanese officers and soldiers around him immediately nodded and bowed in agreement.
But at this moment,
He Feiyang's 82mm mortar unit has already locked and targeted these Japanese officers and soldiers in their hidden artillery position.
Waiting quietly for He Feiyang's bombardment order to be issued.
"Battal Commander! The Japanese army has fully occupied our frontline positions. Can we attack now? They are already at our frontline positions, ready to rest!"
When company commander Zhou Zijian saw those Japs troops unscrupulously and happily killing all the Sichuan soldiers on the front line and entering their front line positions, he immediately whispered to He Feiyang in concern.
"Let the artillery team start the bombardment immediately!"
"All heavy machine gun units also immediately entered combat status!"
"Counterattack immediately!"
Hearing this, He Feiyang issued a combat order to counterattack immediately without hesitation.
After hearing this, company commander Zhou Zijian suddenly felt happy.
Then, without making any sound, he immediately lurked to the artillery unit to convey combat orders, and to the Type 92 heavy machine gun position to continue conveying combat orders.
Because he didn't want to alert others because of his loud response, he silently and cautiously walked back and forth in their hiding spots to convey orders.
"Don't worry at nine o'clock, the bombardment will begin immediately!"
"First round, fifteen rapid fire rounds!"
After receiving the news that the 82mm mortar group could be used immediately to carry out counterattacks,
The artillery company commander Tan Shihai immediately felt happy, and then with a look of murderous intent on his face, he issued a combat order to his artillerymen to bombard the Japanese troops.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
As soon as his unobtrusive bombardment order was issued,
Immediately fifteen 82mm mortars launched a salvo bombing.
Although most of the artillerymen performing artillery strikes were trained by He Feiyang in a short period of time, and their artillery techniques were not very precise, their basic artillery operations were still qualified.
Moreover, after embarking on the Battle of Songhu, these novice artillerymen also gained actual combat experience by operating Japanese grenades.
So He Feiyang didn't care so much, and just let these Sichuan Army soldiers who had been trained for more than two months follow the artillery veterans he had finally gathered, and the ones he originally asked for from Commander Xiang Wenbin and the Commander of the 133rd Division Yang Hanyu.
Those veteran artillerymen carried out actual artillery bombing together.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom, boom! Boom, boom! Boom, boom!"
As the salvo bombardment of fifteen 82mm mortars began, bursts of deafening shelling sounds suddenly resounded.
Then, the Japanese captain Keisuke Shibata, who was still in high spirits, and the Japanese officers beside him saw several mortar shells bombing towards them at a rapid speed.
