I am an artillery text volume Chapter 216: Fierce offensive "boom"

The artillery shells fell around the Japanese grenade launcher, knocking off several of the Japanese grenade launchers. The artillery company opened fire again, which also allowed the Japanese to know where the artillery company was. With the order of the Japanese captain, a squadron of Japanese attacked towards the direction where the artillery company was located.

The Japanese artillery was destroyed by the artillery company in advance, so that the Japanese could only send infantry to deal with the artillery company. As for the Japanese grenade launcher, it was because of insufficient range and could not reach the position of the artillery company.

When looking for the position of the artillery company, Liu Gen was well prepared. He had long considered the range of the Japanese grenade launcher, so he would not be so stupid as to set the position of the artillery company within the range of the Japanese grenade launcher. Seeing a squadron of Japanese soldiers attacking, Liu Gen didn't care. There were soldiers from the Third Battalion in front of the Artillery Company, not to mention that Li Yunlong was still in charge of the Third Battalion.

"Each person looks for the target, find the Japanese heavy machine guns, light machine guns and grenade launchers, and kill their firepower points." Liu Gen ordered the soldiers of the artillery company.

Liu Gen personally controlled a mortar. After the soldiers behind him handed over the shells, Liu Gen destroyed the two Japanese grenade launchers again. As the artillery company soldiers began to launch artillery bombardment points such as the Japanese heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and the Japanese firepower points were affected. From time to time, a shell would fall down, and the Japanese had no choice but to escape.

The 6ommm mortars assigned to each battalion were also played a role. Each battalion had an extra mortar. Even if the performance was a little problem, it made the soldiers much easier when attacking. Unlike the Japanese who didn't care about shells, when they were shelling, the soldiers paid more attention to the Japanese firepower points and tried to achieve corresponding effects for each gun.

Under such an attack, the casualties of the Japanese infantry brigade were increasing. Even if the Japanese brigade commander made a request for help, he knew that the reinforcements had not arrived at all in a short time. The powerful firepower of the Independent Regiment also made the Japanese brigade realize that the Independent Regiment must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise how could there be such strong firepower?

Seeing the artillery shells falling in the air, destroying heavy machine guns, light machine guns and other firepower points with extreme precision, the Japanese captain couldn't help but sank. How long can he last if this continues?

The Japanese brigade leader looked at the infantry squadron that he had sent hope. He wanted to rely on this infantry squadron to destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army and reduce the pressure brought by the Eighth Route Army. However, when the Japanese brigade leader looked at the infantry squadron he sent, he could only see that the infantry squadron required a lot of Japanese lives to go forward every step. The firepower of the Third Battalion was too strong.

"Order Xiaoyuan Squadron to withdraw!" The Japanese captain could only order this way when he saw the casualties of the infantry squadron.

The Japanese Captain could see that if he continued to attack Xiaoyuan Squadron. Even if he could rush to the eighth Route Army positions, the remaining troops would not be too much and would not pose a threat to these eighth Route Army. The other two directions each had an infantry squadron defending, and the pressure of defense was very high. The Japanese Captain listened to the constant wailing sounds from the camp and knew that if his brigade persisted, he might be really left here.

But before receiving the order to retreat at the headquarters, the Japanese captain did not dare to retreat, so he did not want to be regarded as a deserter.

"Persevere! Hold on! Our reinforcements will arrive soon!" the Japanese captain shouted. At the same time, the Japanese who reacted also piled up some dead Japanese corpses to form a simple defensive position. If the Japanese were not unable to draw too much troops, they might have dug out trenches to defend.

The Japanese Infantry Brigade is only temporarily stationed here. Who would have thought that the Eighth Route Army would dare to attack the infantry brigade directly? On weekdays, the Japanese Infantry Brigade would try to rest and recuperate in the Japanese stronghold at night. This time, hesitated that Tada Jun, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, urged him too tightly. In order to reinforce the battle of Zhengtai Road, these Japanese could only take the fastest and failed to rest and recuperate in the Japanese stronghold.

Looking at the simple defensive position built, the Japanese captain breathed a sigh of relief. This time the Eighth Route Army could not easily attack, right? Soon, the Japanese captain issued another order, and the Japanese defending in the third line contracted completely. He now only gathered all his troops to better resist the offensive of the Eighth Route Army.

When the three infantry squadrons retreated from the front line, the Japanese squadron leader took a breath. Less than half an hour before the battle began, they suffered a large number of casualties. The Japanese infantry squadrons defending Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan in the other two directions were fine, and the combined losses were less than one squad. However, the Xiaoyuan squadron, which was sent by the Japanese squadron to attack the artillery company, suffered heavy losses. One infantry squadron went out, and only one infantry squadron was left behind.

Moreover, the squadron leader of Ohara Squadron, Ichiro Ohara also died in the battle.

"Baga! Baga! It's my fault. Xiaoyuan Jun shouldn't have died here. He wants to wait until he returns to China to enjoy the cherry blossoms with me!" The Japanese captain looked ferocious and looked in the direction of the Independent Group, his eyes filled with hatred.

The two Japanese infantry squadron leaders also looked sad. They could have imagined that if squadron leaders like Ichiro Ohara died here, they would likely die too.

"Today, our Matsui brigade will not retreat! We are all warriors of the Great Japanese Empire. The headquarters has not issued a retreat order, so we must stay here! When dawn, the aviation troops of the Great Japanese Empire will come to support us! For His Majesty the Emperor! For the Great Japanese Empire!" The Japanese captain shouted loudly.

The captain of the infantry squadron of the two Japanese squadrons shouted quickly: "Hey! Fight to the death without retreating!"

The Japanese captain waved his hand and signaled the two squadron leaders to command the defense. He looked at the approaching Eighth Route Army fighting with an ugly face. With these attacks from the Eighth Route Army, can their brigade really last until dawn?

When the Japanese captain was silent, the shells fell again, some were empty, and some were still beside the Japanese. The Japanese who were close were killed directly. It was fine if the Japanese were a little far away, they were hiding behind the bunker. The ones who had no time to hide were injured by the shell shrapnel. A shell fell not far from the Japanese captain, and a shrapnel flew over, leaving a clear blood mark on his face.

"Baga!"
