"Your Excellency the regiment commander, when did the Chinese artillery become so powerful? Are we really a defeated Chinese soldiers?" Major Takanobu Yamada looked unbelievable.

"This is indeed a defeated Chinese. There is no formal army of the Chinese people in northern Myanmar. Their cannons are all cannons from the arsenal in Myitkyina. We worked hard to transport the cannons and shells to Myitkyina to replenish the army on the front line. Now, they have fallen into the hands of these despicable Chinese people.

Shame! This is simply a shame for the Great Japanese Imperial Army. The Chinese people actually used our cannons to kill our warriors. Even their soldiers were originally our prisoners!”

Colonel Panqiao was very angry. He knew that the Japanese army had stored a large amount of weapons and equipment in the arsenal in Myitkyina. Now, it is better that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army are cheaper. At the same time, this also made it even more difficult for them to destroy the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in front of them.

"Beautiful job! The artillery brothers fight well, it's time for the Japanese to know how powerful we are."

"Yes! We have always been under the bombardment of the Japanese, braved their fierce bombardment to fight against the Japanese. Now, our artillery is finally stronger than them."

"Haha, Commander. It seems that with strong firepower, it is indeed much easier to fight a war!" Sun Changwu grinned.

"Look at your promising prospects. After we get the support of our American friends, will we still lack strong firepower?" Qin Shou looked disdainful.

The strength of the US military is largely based on strong firepower. When their troops fight on the battlefield, they have the firepower support of powerful artillery and can even call for air support at any time. They use powerful firepower to tear their opponents into pieces. If the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army can get the support of the US government, they can also use powerful firepower to bully the Japanese.

Major Steven, although he could understand what Qin Shou and the others were saying, he did not express his opinion. Although he had already looked up to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army led by Qin Shou, whether to fully support them depends on the subsequent battle.

The atmosphere on the Japanese army's positions was a little solemn. The Japanese soldiers had a little panic in their eyes, as if they were caught off guard. It was probably the first time they encountered such a situation when they were rampant on the battlefield in Southeast Asia.

The enemies they fought with, whether they were Americans, British, or colonial troops, were vulnerable and fled. Now, they have almost occupied the entire Southeast Asia, but the situation seems to be different.

"Baga! The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, those Chinese, stole our arsenal in Myitkyina and were using our cannons to bombard us. It was a great shame for us. We believe that you are all real warriors, not garbage that you would not be able to fight without cannons. Now, it is time to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Let those Chinese see how the warriors of the Imperial Army fought. Yamada, lead your troops to break through the defense line of the Chinese people and defeat them!" Colonel Torihashi Masasa yelled loudly.

"Hi, Lord Corps. The warriors of the Imperial Army, it's time to attack and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" Grandmaster Takanori Yamada immediately ordered the troops to launch an attack.

The 1st Battalion of the 112th Japanese Army Regiment was just a dissatisfied brigade. The entire brigade had only more than 800 people.

However, stimulated by the Bushido spirit and bewitched by the thought of loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, these more than 800 Japanese troops launched an attack on the position of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Saving Regiment, which was five times more than theirs.

These Japanese troops, carrying bayonets, lined up three scattered lines under the cover of the firepower of the Type 96 light machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and stepped on their small thick legs to attack the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

During the attack, the Japanese officers led the way. They waved the commanding knife in their hands and led the Japanese army to charge, looking fearless. This did make the morale of the Japanese army high.

"Order the mortars of each battalion and company to open fire! The light and heavy machine guns are ready to open fire at any time." Sun Changwu gave the order calmly.

Although the number of Japanese troops attacked was only one brigade, which was only one fifth of them. However, on the Chinese battlefield, a division of the National Army was often not a match for a brigade of the Japanese! This forced Sun Changwu to be cautious.

Each regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was equipped with a large number of mortars. The artillery battalions of the regiment had six 150mm medium-sized mortars equipped by a company. The battalions below were equipped with 97 90mm light mortars.

Although these mortars from the Japanese are very heavy, they are very powerful.

When these mortars began to be bombarded, the shells continued to fall into the Japanese army's ranks.

"Boom!" A mortar shell fell from the sky and exploded. Several Japanese soldiers were blown away on the spot. When they landed on the ground, they were either dead or injured.

After a large number of mortars opened fire, the shells fell like raindrops, and the attacking Japanese troops began to suffer huge losses.

"Damn it! Damn Chinese." Colonel Tenghashi Masaru looked at this scene and felt like he was bleeding in his heart. These were their weapons, and they were indeed slaughtering their soldiers now.

Despite being violently bombarded, the Japanese attack still received no impact. Their soldiers charged bravely.

Soon, the Japanese army rushed to a distance of only more than 100 meters from the position of the 1st Regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

At this time, the light and heavy machine guns on the position began to fire, and the dense firepower caused the attacking Japanese troops to fall down continuously, paying a heavy price.

The Japanese army did not continue to attack, but lay on the ground and shot at the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

The Japanese army's marksmanship was fully demonstrated in battle. Even if they were more than 100 meters apart, they were often able to hit targets accurately.

"Bang!"

A soldier of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army who was operating a Type 96 light machine gun fired wildly, tilted his head and fell on the trenches. The deputy archer quickly took over and continued to shoot. But in less than half a minute, the deputy archer was also shot and killed.

Although the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army were also firing and fighting back. However, their shooting skills were really not satisfactory. Most of the time, they were just wasting bullets.

Only the snipers in each platoon were able to compete with the Japanese soldiers for marksmanship.

A large group of Japanese troops, with less than 700 people left, was not at all inferior to a regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
