Chapter 152 Slaughter
The artillery of the three main divisions of the Japanese army were destroyed in this artillery battle. This made the three division commanders only stare at Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki, waiting for his next order.
Originally, the order they received was to dispatch infantry to launch an attack after the artillery completed its firepower preparation. But now, the artillery was completely crippled before it completed its firepower preparation. This made their plan impossible to implement.
"Order the infantry and launch an attack. Could it be that without firepower preparation and the support of artillery, you will not fight? Thinking about the time when we did not have the support of artillery, we still fought the Chinese people and ran away with our heads!" Lieutenant General Shigemasa Aoki roared in anger.
The failure of the offensive made Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa's uneasiness deepen. In order to cover up this uneasiness, he could only show more strength. It seemed that in this way, he could forget the uneasiness and numb himself.
"Hi, Commander." The three division commanders answered quickly.
Although they were all rank of lieutenant general, the same as Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki. However, at this moment they could only be subordinates of Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki and could only obey his orders. This is common in the Japanese army with strict hierarchy.
Twenty minutes later, the Japanese army launched an attack. Even if there was no artillery preparation and no artillery provided fire support for them, they could only launch an attack.
The 56th Infantry Regiment of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army, the 106th Infantry Regiment of the 49th Division, and the 119th Infantry Regiment of the 53rd Division launched this round of attacks.
Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, holding rifles and walking on their neck legs, rushed towards the position of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
"His Majesty the Emperor is on-board! The Great Japanese Empire is on-board!"
It has to be admitted that these Japanese soldiers shouted slogans and launched such a forward-moving offensive, which was indeed very shocking.
"Yoxi, the warriors of the Ojiben Empire are indeed the strongest soldiers. Even if we are not prepared for firepower, we can still defeat the Chinese people." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. His concerns in his heart also dissipated a lot.
However, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki's face soon became gloomy. Because the artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army began to launch fierce artillery bombardment on the attacking Japanese army.
The artillery shells were smashed into the Japanese army's ranks. Although the Japanese army launched attacks in sparse lines of scattered soldiers, the queues were very sparse. However, under the fierce shelling of 180 cannons, the Japanese army still paid an extremely heavy price.
"Boom! Boom!"
The shells continued to explode in the Japanese army's ranks, and Japanese soldiers were constantly blown away and torn to pieces.
However, even so, these Japanese soldiers were still attacking quickly, just as if the death of their comrades turned a blind eye to them. They only knew how to attack with their heads buried.
"Quick! Speed up the artillery speed. If you blow one more Japanese person to death, we will be one point closer to victory." The artillery officers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army ordered anxiously.
The artillery soldiers were now exhausted and gasping for breath. But even so, they were carrying shells with their shirtlessness. Beads of sweat slid off their bodies, fell to the ground, and smashed into pieces.
The shells kept flying out of the muzzle, carrying the anger in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, smashing them to pieces, blowing them all into pieces.
On the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, when the Japanese artillery was completely suppressed, the soldiers had already emerged from the anti-aircraft artillery hole.
Although the Japanese army invested a large number of troops to launch an attack, many new recruits were sweating.
"The artillery brothers are really working hard this time! So many shells are enough for those little Japanese to drink a pot." A veteran said with a smile. He was so happy that he was not sure about how happy he was when he watched the Japanese army be constantly killed by his own shells.
"Yes! Japan* himself is just that. In fact, it is vulnerable at all. Although they have gained such a great reputation, it was because we did not have excellent weapons and equipment. Now, we have advanced weapons and equipment and powerful firepower. It is not that easy for the Americans to defeat us." A squad leader also said.
After the expansion of the troops, many soldiers became the squad leader and the deputy squad leader. They led a group of new recruits to fight and knew very well how fear they were when they were on the battlefield for the first time. Only by helping them overcome the fear in their hearts can they exert their maximum combat power in the battle.
Many new recruits were also infected. A lot of tension and fear in their hearts also disappeared.
Indeed, Japan himself was not very powerful, and was still broken into pieces by his own shells.
The Japanese army paid a heavy price to break through the artillery attacks of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, even so, they did not retreat, but continued to attack.
As they stepped on their comrades' bodies to attack, their beastly nature was aroused, and they became even more crazy and bloodthirsty.
"Mortars, infantry guns, fire!"
When the Japanese army approached less than one kilometer from the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the battalion commanders of each battalion ordered.
Immediately, the mortars and infantry artillery that had been prepared had already been fired and once again poured shells into the Japanese army. Although these mortars and infantry artillery were not as powerful as howitzers. However, the rate of fire was faster. In the same time, more shells could be thrown onto the Japanese himself's head.
Besides, these shells can still tear Japan to pieces.
The Japanese infantry artillery and mortars also launched a counterattack. However, they were suppressed by the field artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and they never dared to appear again.
Twelve P-51b fighter jets appeared in the sky. After these fighters arrived on the battlefield, they immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army that was attacking.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Rockets fell from the sky and shot into the Japanese army's ranks, bombing the Japanese soldiers crying and calling for their parents.
"Da da da da!" The air machine gun also began to strafuse, and many Japanese soldiers were shot and directly shot into two pieces.
Often, an airplane passes through the Japanese army's queue, and a row of bullets can carry the lives of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.
"Baga! Damn Chinese!"
Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa cursed angrily, but he could only watch the Japanese soldiers being shot and killed by various weapons by the Anti-Japanese and National Saving Army. They had already suffered heavy losses without even touching the edge of the Anti-Japanese and National Saving Army's defense line. If this continues, they may really suffer heavy losses!
