The structural diagrams of Hankou Fortress, Guishan Fortress and Snake Fortress are top secret.

In addition to Zhang Yuandong, who was responsible for designing and supervising the construction, only Zhong Yi and a few staff officers in the General Staff Department knew about it, and even Zhu Liangcheng and Sun Liren did not know the entire structure!

So, not only was Zhou Erzi's face full of confusion, but Zhu Liangcheng didn't understand it.

Zhong Yi didn't explain, but just stood behind the cannon mirror and continued to observe the Japanese's movements.

After about a quarter of an hour, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the horizon ahead, and then thousands of Japanese infantry appeared in sight along the railway line!

Artillery and mortars appeared along with the Japanese infantry formation.

Soon, four 81mm caliber mortars were scattered in a distance.

The Japanese still have this trick. Before the infantry attacks, they must use artillery to attack first!

Zhu Liangcheng looked at the distance parameters displayed on the artillery team mirror and whispered: "The regiment seat, the Japanese have entered the strike range of the artillery positions in Guishan and Snake Mountain. Should we notify the artillery positions to fire?"

"Don't worry!" Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer."

Zhu Liangcheng stopped saying anything when he heard this.

...

Japanese positions.

Ichiro Omiyayama ordered the four 81mm caliber mortars from the artillery squadron directly under the brigade headquarters to line up and aim at the arc-shaped trenches one thousand meters ahead.

A few minutes later, the shooting elements were initially locked.

The squadron leader immediately raised his sword and shouted: "A test shot!"

The ammunition hand of one of the mortars immediately took out a shell from the ammunition box and handed it to the gunner.

The gunner took the shell and loaded it from the muzzle. Then, as soon as he let go, the shell slid into the barrel under the action of gravity, and then the base fire collided with the striker to trigger the drug.

Just a loud bang sound, a shell whizzed out from the muzzle.

The gunner, the artillery commander, the artillery squadron leader and Ichiro Komiyayama all raised his head and looked forward.

About three seconds later, the shells roared to the ground, and a huge ball of smoke and dust exploded in the wilderness.

Ichiro Komiya looked at the bounce point, which was about fifty meters away from the arc trench of the Chinese army!

According to the distance between the bounce point and the arc-shaped trench, the gunners of the four mortars began to nervously adjust the elements.

Soon, the shooting of Zhuyuan had been adjusted. The artillery squadron leader drew out his saber again, held it high above the head and shouted: "Instant grenade, twenty rapid fire!"

The four artillery groups skillfully operated artillery according to their usual training.

Soon, rows of shells roared and smashed into the trenches a thousand meters ahead.

Five or six minutes later, eighty shells were shot, and the trenches of the National Army were completely covered by gunpowder.

Komiya Yama Ichiro pulled out his sabre and shouted: "The 1st Infantry Squadron, attack! Taoji changed..."

Accompanied by the roar of Komiya Yama, more than a hundred Japanese infantry who were originally lying on the ground jumped up and quickly opened the wavy straggler line.

Then, he started to rush forward with a bayonet.

After rushing forward for about five or six hundred meters, the smoke that enveloped the national military positions gradually began to dissipate.

Ichiro Komiya Yama then raised his telescope and could clearly see through the telescope's field of view that the arc-shaped trench in front was already in chaos.

Thousands of meters away, you can vaguely hear screams.

Obviously, the shelling just now caused great casualties to the Chinese police.

The 1st Infantry Squadron advanced about a hundred meters, and the Chinese police hiding in the arc-shaped trenches opened fire violently. In addition to hundreds of rifles, there were at least two heavy machine guns and four light machine guns.

The dense barrage splashed over like a storm, and the dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing in front fell into a pool of blood in an instant.

The Japanese soldiers following behind fell down one after another. Then, the two heavy machine gun teams behind them mounted the Type 92 heavy machine guns and provided fire support from the side. The four grenade cannon teams that followed also quickly set up grenade cannons and carried out accurate and fixed-point removal of the heavy machine guns of the National Army in the trenches in front.

The Japanese Grenades' grenade launcher is really accurate!

"Bang, bang!" After two grenades, the two heavy machine guns in the trench immediately became silenced.

The remaining four imitation Czech light machine guns were also suppressed by the Japanese two Type 92 heavy machine guns.

The next moment, more than a hundred Japanese infantry who were originally lying on the ground jumped up from the ground again, and then held the 38-large cover with a bayonet, and rushed forward screaming.

Seeing this, a contemptuous smile immediately appeared on the corner of Komiya Yama's mouth.

The Chinese police are really weak in combat. Judging from this posture, the tentative attack of the 1st infantry squadron can take down this solid trench!

But then again, China's regular army is not much more powerful in combat!

Through the telescope view, Ichiro Omiyayama could clearly see that the scattered line of the 1st infantry squadron had approached less than a hundred meters away from the trench.

At such a distance, there is no suspense in the battle.

Sure enough, seeing that the Japanese army approached within a hundred meters and at least 400 Chinese policemen guarding the trenches, they retreated in a panic along the traffic trench toward the second trench.

Behind the first arc trench, there is a second arc trench.

At this time, Ichiro Omiyayama had climbed to a nearby commanding height and saw it very clearly from the high point.

The second trench of the Chinese defenders was at least one thousand meters away from the first trench, and there were two traffic trenches connected in the middle. There were no other fortifications except the two traffic trenches, and there was not even a foxhole in the middle! What’s even more funny is that the second trench was at least three kilometers away from the bunker group at Hankou Railway Station! At such a distance, there was no fire cover from the bunker group!

Seeing this, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Komiya Yama's mouth again!

These Chinese police are really scumbags. They don’t even know how to build fortifications. The two trenches in front and back are so far apart, and there is not a single firepower point in the middle!

Only idiots can design such a defensive deployment!

With such defense, it is impossible to block the attack of the 1st infantry squadron!

The subsequent progress of the battle situation was just as Ichiro Omiya expected. After breaking into the first arc trench, more than 100 officers and soldiers of the 1st infantry squadron immediately divided into two groups and attacked the second arc trench along the two traffic trenches.

Since there was no fire point between the two traffic trenches and no artillery support, the Chinese police could not stop the fierce attack of the 1st infantry squadron.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the second arc trench was also taken down!
Chapter completed!
