Chapter 80 Slap in the face again
Half an hour passed soon. The artillery corps of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and the artillery squadrons of various infantry corps were ready.
"Fire the artillery!" With the order of the male colonel Fujiazheng, the commander of the artillery corps, the Japanese army's 30 75mm field cannons and mountain cannons began to shoot.
"Boom! Boom!"
On the Japanese artillery positions, artillery soldiers who had already been prepared began to shoot.
One by one, the shells flew towards the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. Soon, the shells fell down, and smoke columns rose from the position of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
The power of the 75mm field gun is indeed not very strong. The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army who were hiding in the trenches were not greatly affected. Unless they were very lucky, the shells fell directly into the trenches.
Immediately, the Japanese army's 18 Type 92 infantry artillery also began to be bombarded. For a moment, the Japanese army's shelling seemed very powerful.
"Yo Xi!" Seeing the anti-Japanese and national salvation army's position was covered by gunpowder, Sakurai Seoul 3rd Lieutenant General couldn't help but smile on his face.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, I believe that under our fierce shelling, the Chinese people will suffer heavy casualties. At that time, it will be very easy for my corps to take their positions." Colonel Wen Jingqinguang said quickly.
The other officers of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army nodded repeatedly. Almost everyone thought they were sure to win.
"Order the artillery regiment and counterattack!" Qin Shou issued an order within the command center.
The artillery regiment, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately followed Qin Shou's orders.
"Everyone cheers me up. This time, we must blow all Japanese people to death." Yu Fei, the commander of the artillery regiment, shouted loudly.
36 105mm howitzers and 12 150mm howitzers have raised their muzzles high.
"Boom! Boom!"
The orange-red flames shone in the muzzle, and artillery shells roared towards the Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese army did not expect that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army would have such powerful artillery, so they did not provide any protection in that aspect, so that their artillery positions were all within the range of the artillery regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
"Swish!Swish!"
When the sharp roar sounded on the Japanese artillery positions, many Japanese artillery soldiers woke up.
"Archive, hide!" A Japanese artillery officer shouted loudly.
The other Japanese artillery quickly found a place to hide. However, it was too late.
"Boom! Boom!" As the shells fell, the dense explosion sounded on the Japanese artillery positions.
The power of the 105mm howitzer and 150mm howitzer are much greater than that of the 75mm mountain running. Therefore, this time the Japanese artillery was in trouble.
"Boom!" A 105mm artillery shell exploded next to a 75mm field gun of the Japanese army. The huge power lifted the field gun away. Even the artillery barrel was exploded, twisting like a twist. As for the Japanese artillery, it was no longer visible.
A 150mm shell hit a pile of shells piled up by the Japanese army. The power of the 150mm shell was originally very powerful, not to mention that it detonated more than a dozen 75mm shells.
This caused all Japanese artillery soldiers in a large area to suffer. Countless artillery soldiers were torn into pieces during the explosion and the cannons were destroyed.
Faced with the artillery attacks of the artillery regiment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, the Japanese artillery corps and three Type 92 infantry artillery squadrons were completely suppressed. What they had to do now was not to shell the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, but to find ways to protect themselves.
However, it is undoubtedly very difficult to escape under the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
In just twenty minutes, the Japanese artillery positions became in a mess. There were only twelve 30 75mm mountain running games, and there were only six 18 Type 92 infantry artillery. It can be said that most of the artillery of the Japanese 33rd Division had been lost in just twenty minutes. Such losses caused the male Colonel Fujiazheng, the commander of the artillery corps, to faint.
The senior generals and officers of the 33rd Japanese Division who were watching the battle in the distance were also stunned. Everything that happened just now was completely beyond their expectations. They had never expected that the Chinese people who had always been ravaged by them had such powerful artillery soldiers.
The third Lieutenant General Sakurai was already gloomy and seemed to be dripping from water. When the first shell landed on the Japanese artillery position, he knew that the situation seemed to be not very good.
The face of Colonel Wen Jing, the captain of the 213th Japanese Army, turned pale. Just now, he praised Haikou. After the shelling was over, he would lead his corps to launch an attack and break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in one fell swoop. But now it seems that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is not as easy to deal with as imagined.
If the attack fails and the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is not able to defeat the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, what consequences will be? Colonel Wen Jingqinguang can no longer imagine. Could it be that he really has to follow his promise and commit suicide by separatism?
"Damn the Chinese people, they actually have such powerful artillery soldiers. How is this possible? Isn't it said that what we have to deal with is just a group of defeated soldiers? Why are they even more powerful than the Chinese Expeditionary Force?" Colonel Wen Jingqinguang shouted angrily. He felt that he had fallen into a pit.
"These cannons are all ours. They originally belonged to us in the arsenal in Myitkyina. However, they have been used by the Chinese people. It is simply unforgivable that they actually use the cannons of the Imperial Army to deal with the Imperial Army!" Chief of Staff Colonel Tanaka Tetsujiro explained.
"Haga!" Sakurai Secretariat No. 3 Lieutenant General couldn't help but curse.
He felt that his face was about to be swollen. The anti-Japanese and national salvation army, which he thought was very easy to deal with, had its strength beyond his expectations. Didn’t the big words he said before all became jokes?
"Men Wenjing, lead your wing and launch an attack! The Chinese people just relied on obtaining our artillery. In fact, their combat effectiveness should not be strong." said Major General Yamamoto, the commander of the infantry regiment.
Wenjing kissed Colonel Guang and looked at the division commander Sakurai Lieutenant General.
"Attack!" Sakurai Shin-3 Lieutenant General ordered with a cold face.
"Hi, Master of the Division." Colonel Wen Jing knew that he had no way out, so he could only attack with his teeth. He really wanted to slap himself hard. What can he do if he has nothing to do? Now, he is trapped in. If he cannot break through the defense line of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, he probably has to have apologize.
Colonel Wenjing was able to pray to Amaterasu, praying that even if the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was equipped with advanced Japanese weapons, it would still be vulnerable. Otherwise, he would be dead.
