Sakamoto Shun: "Kano, your opinion is to abandon the infantry tactics of the Great Japanese Imperial Army?"

"Hayi!" Kanano Tatsuji suddenly paused, "The detachment captain Mingjian, there is no infantry tactic in this world that can cover everything. If the enemy changes, the tactics must also be changed accordingly, otherwise they will suffer a great loss!"

After a pause, he continued: "For example, this time, when the enemy was replaced by the Sino-Suizhou Army in China and the Central Army was replaced by the Coast Defense Corps, the tactics of the Imperial Army still remained unchanged, and he suffered a big loss in actual combat!"

"Soga." Shun Sakamoto nodded and asked again, "So what kind of tactics should you use?"

Tadashi Kataya said, "I think the scale of infantry charges should be reduced, but the use of artillery firepower should be strengthened."

Speaking of this, Tatsumi Katano continued: "I don't know if the captain and you guys have discovered that the infantry light weapons of the China Na Coast Defense Corps are stronger than the Imperial Army, but their artillery support firepower is still very weak. During the daytime battle, the China Na only has a few six small caliber mortars."

Shun Sakamoto thoughtfully said, "It seems to be true."

Tadashi Kataya continued: "In contrast, in addition to the independent field artillery brigade commanded by the direct detachment, each infantry gang is also equipped with a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squadron and a combat artillery squadron. Each infantry brigade is also equipped with an independent infantry artillery squadron, and each infantry squadron is also equipped with at least six grenade launchers!"

After pausing, Katano said again: "So, in terms of artillery support firepower, the imperial army is far better than the Chinese army!"

"Not bad!" Sakamoto nodded, "In addition to the artillery firepower mentioned by Katano, the Imperial Army even has attack aircraft of the 3rd Air Force Flight Regiment, and fighter jets operate in concert."

Katano Tatsumi said: "Therefore, the Imperial Army can completely suppress the advantageous infantry light firepower of the China Sea Defense Corps. Specifically in actual combat, it is to use small-scale infantry assaults to guide the Navigation Marine Defense Corps to open fire, expose its infantry light firepower, and then use artillery firepower to clear it one by one."

Speaking of this, Tatsumi Katano emphasized his tone and continued: "Captain, everyone, wait until the light firepower of the infantry of the Coast Defense Corps is almost destroyed, and then put in heavy troops and launch a general attack. In this way, you will definitely be able to break through Jiulong Lake in one fell swoop and easily attack Yinjiang City!"

...

Another night passed.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, the Japanese army began preparing for artillery fire again.

More than one hundred artillery types of different caliber bombarded the Jiulongshan position guarded by the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Coast Defense Corps.

A quarter of an hour later, accompanied by a buzzing roar, more than a dozen Japanese bombers flew over Jiulong Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, these more than a dozen Japanese bombers also dived and dropped bombs at the Jiulong Mountain position and fired.

The bombing lasted for about forty minutes before finally stopping. In the end, the two Type 96 attack aircraft also disappeared into the clouds in the northeast direction.

Qin Jiu followed Yu Qi to climb out of the anti-cannon hole.

Because of the tight time, there was no anti-aircraft hole.

But last night, they were busy all night and finally dug out an anti-aircraft hole that could barely be used to hide.

Looking down, I saw that the defensive position at the foot of the western foot of Jiulong Mountain had been blown up, like the water irrigated ground that had just been plowed.

Fortunately, an anti-aircraft hole was dug at the foot of the mountain last night.

Therefore, the casualties of the second row of defense exchange should not be large.

Sure enough, as the Japanese stopped shelling, the officers and soldiers of the second platoon crawled out of the anti-aircraft hole one by one, and returned to the shooting position. Qin Jiu roughly counted, and there were more than a hundred.

At this moment, Yu Qi suddenly said in a deep voice: "The devils are coming!"

Qin Jiu suddenly felt a little nervous when he heard this. When he looked up quickly, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in the distance.

However, what puzzled Qin Jiu was that there were not many Japanese soldiers, and only thirty were killed.

"Platform leader, what's going on?" Qin Jiu said in confusion, "Why are these Japanese devils?"

"No, Ajiu, look at the back." Yu Qi said in a deep voice, "There are also Japanese behind these Japanese."

Qin Jiu's eyes passed by nearly thirty Japanese infantry and looked back. Sure enough, he saw a large group of Japanese soldiers following behind, and these Japanese also brought a cannon.

Yu Qi's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Seven-five-style mountain cannon, four gates!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "No, there are also 92 infantry cannons, six, and there is also a door behind them. This is a 37mm caliber war defense cannon, which is very useful for work! "

Qin Jiu said in surprise: "What do the Japanese want to do? The artillery is actually placed so far forward?"

Yu Qi said in a deep voice: "The Japanese artillery wants to provide close-range artillery support to the infantry!"

"Close-range artillery support?" Qin Jiu said in shock, "Aren't the Japanese afraid of hitting their own people?"

Yu Qi said: "Curve shooting, the bounce point is indeed difficult to control, but if it is a close-range direct shooting, the shooting accuracy of the cannon is not much different from the machine gun."

Qin Jiudao: "War defense cannons can be shot directly. I know that mountain cannons and infantry cannons can also be shot directly?"

"It's OK, too." Yu Qi nodded, "not only infantry cannons, mountain cannons, and mortars can fire directly!"

While speaking, another group of Japanese men appeared in the field of sight of the two men, and these Japanese men also carried a mortar or grenade launcher. The direction where these Japanese artillery soldiers left was closer to them!

Seeing this, Yu Qi's face turned dark immediately and said, "I'm in trouble!"

Qin Jiu disagreed and felt that the situation was not that serious.

At this time, the Japanese infantry at the foot of Jiulong Mountain had already launched a charge.

Nearly thirty Japanese infantrymen actually pulled a straight width of more than 300 meters, and looked sparse. Not to mention using machine guns to shoot, Galand's continuous shooting was a waste.

The two platoons of officers and soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain switched their rifles to single-fire shooting.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars are completely silent.

Qin Jiu originally thought that the second platoon could easily fight back with less than thirty Japanese soldiers, but when he really got angry, he realized that it was not the case at all.

Although there are not many Japanese infantry launching the assault, the infantry behind them has very strong support firepower.

More than ten crooked light machine guns and at least six Type 92 heavy machine guns fired violently at the positions of the 2nd platoon, making the officers and soldiers of the 2nd platoon unable to even lift their heads.

The second platoon was forced to counterattack with machine guns or mortars, and immediately attracted direct shots from the Japanese grenade launchers, mortars, and even 92 infantry cannons and mountain cannons. After a few rounds, the second platoon's light and heavy machine guns and mortars were completely lost, while the casualties of the Japanese infantry were minimal.
