As the 12th Division wanted to play a vicious plan of "Damage Shui Donggui", He Zhengdao immediately changed his arrangements. Originally, in his plan, he had to slowly drag the 12th Division to death to reduce his own casualties.

But now it is judged that the Japanese devils are planning to capture the people who are based on the basis of the people, so He Zhengdao naturally will not let them go easily. Perhaps as he himself said to his subordinates, only the dead Japanese devils will be good Japanese.

Even under night battle conditions, it is not suitable for cavalry troops to launch attacks. As a preparation and pursuing force, the Second Cavalry Division quickly accepted He Zhengdao's orders and widened the encirclement that surrounded the 12th Division.

In addition, the communications soldiers who urgently conveyed the news overnight also mobilized all guerrilla brigades and garrison troops. The temporary strongholds of the people on the verge of war zone began to urgently deploy defenses to guard against Japanese devils who might crash into it.

As for the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade who were originally arranged to rest and recuperate, they were also sent out by He Zhengdao. The task they had to do was to wipe out every infantry squadron that had been driven from the Japanese camp.

Although it was a bit troublesome to fight at night, He Zhengdao felt that such a battle was fought in the base of the independent column, and no matter what, he had the advantage of a landlord. If he could not clean up these Japanese devils, it would be too incompetent.

Even the Second Division, which had just finished extinguishing the Independent Mixed Third Brigade, received the order from He Zhengdao to end the night rest and move closer to the main force overnight. In the shortest time, he tried to get rid of the 12th Division that broke through.

Looking at the order sent by He Zhengdao, Wang Tianlin said with a little thought: "It seems that something should have happened on the front line, otherwise the commander would not let us rush through the road overnight. Order the troops to persevere and strive to meet with the main force as quickly as possible."

‘Yes, Chief of Staff!’

As the commander of the Second Division personally issued an order, several main regiments of the Second Division also began to accelerate the march. Fortunately, they were in their own control area. They only needed to pay attention to the road at night, and they didn't have to worry about being ambushed.

At this moment, the 12th Division, which was temporarily stationed in Kongjiagou, also entered a rest. Many Japanese soldiers who were busy until dawn last night and rushed for another day seemed somewhat exhausted.

In addition to the troops responsible for the guarding, many troops began to find a place to rest after dinner. Fortunately, the weather is quite hot now, so you can just find something to cushion, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold or getting sick.

Just when the temporary garrison of the 12th Division became quiet, the heavy artillery troops who arrived here one day earlier than they had also completed the preparations before the shelling. They were also full of expectations for the shelling tonight.

‘Commander, all artillery positions are ready. Please instruct whether to launch artillery bombardment!’

‘Let’s get started!’

'yes!'

As the commander of the artillery brigade, Zhu Ding was also very excited when he heard He Zhengdao's orders. After all, the heavy artillery seized in the previous series, some 150-caliber artillery were the first time he had seen it since he was a soldier!

He hasn't even felt the power of this heavy artillery. Now he has the opportunity to personally command such artillery operations. As the artillery brigade commander, he has been looking forward to the arrival of this moment.

‘Listen to my order! The heavy artillery battalion will start shelling! Pay attention to each artillery position and adjust their respective shelling parameters at any time!’

'yes!'

The eight Dasho four-year 150mm field howitzer, plus six 96 150mm field howitzer, are loading shells. After understanding, the officers and soldiers of the artillery brigade know that the latter has better performance.

But no matter what, even the four-year-old field howitzer is not what they can produce now. Although the range of this cannon is not as good as the latter, the power of the shell is also amazing.

Under Zhu Dean's order, the fourteen heavy artillery launched the shelling as soon as possible. The deafening howling sound made the artillery soldiers who tried to use this kind of artillery for the first time also felt their ears buzzing.

‘It’s so satisfying! This is the cannon!’

'What did you say?'

An excited artillery soldier couldn't help but say that when it was very enjoyable to fire such a large caliber howitzer, the soldiers next to him only heard the other party's mouth move, but could not hear clearly what the other party was saying.

Fourteen heavy shells, after emitting hot flames at the muzzle, quickly flew to the temporary camp stationed by the 12th Division. Even though the distance was a bit far, the Japanese army responsible for the periphery were still noticed.

‘Whistle blow! Eighth Route Army shelling!’

The sharp whistle and roar woke the Japanese army who had just rested again. Even the Japanese army, who were not awakened by the whistle, knew what they had encountered as the first shell fell in.

Seeing the shells falling into the place where the explosion occurred, a huge pit appeared. Many Japanese devils next to them said in a daze: "Hey! This is a heavy artillery? At least 150 caliber artillery, how could the Eighth Route Army have it?"

In their opinion, field artillery above 150 is basically unique to them. But now, they find that it is the bombardment of this heavy howitzer, which is no wonder they find it incredible.

If a shell goes down, the Japanese devils dozens of meters away will be severely damaged. As for the Japanese devils in the center of the shell, many of them cannot even be found. The terrifying power of the heavy artillery is undoubtedly revealed at this moment!

If they were still in the town they were stationed in the previous town, facing such heavy artillery attacks, they might be able to hide in the anti-aircraft tunnel. But in the current temporary camp, many Japanese soldiers are basically staying in the open air.

Facing heavy shells falling from the sky, the wailing sounds of countless Japanese devils were covered by the explosion. Yamamura Kiyotaro, who also woke up, was speechless when he looked at this scene for a long time. He knew that he had made a fatal mistake in the previous episode!

That is to underestimate the Eighth Route Army's understanding of Japanese weapons. It is even more underestimated that the Eighth Route Army can arrange such heavy artillery that requires car dragging before them near Kongjiagou where they were temporarily stationed.

Seeing Xiusan, who also watched this scene, said in great grief: "Baga! This is our heavy artillery!"

Yes! It is indeed very dramatic to use heavy artillery and shells produced by the Japanese to shell them, such as the Japanese. When people see Xiu San also know that in the face of such shelling, he does not even have the ability to counterattack.

It is almost imagined that at this moment, there are probably many Eighth Route Army blocking troops on standby on time. If they rush out, they are afraid that they will fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

If they didn't break through overnight, all they could do was wait for the Eighth Route Army to shoot all the heavy shells they had grabbed in the previous series. But he knew that when the Eighth Route Army airborne, the number of heavy shells seized by the Eighth Route Army was far more than theirs!

‘Order the troops to avoid the crater as the center. Don’t run around casually, that will only increase casualties without any need! Quick!’

Seeing the rest and recuperation unit being bombarded by heavy shells and already blown into a mess, people saw Xiu San could only shout desperately, commanding the low-level Japanese officers to organize troops to move closer to the center of the crater.

In his opinion, it is difficult for the same artillery to hit the same shell into a crater. This means that as long as you hide in or beside the crater, it can effectively reduce the possibility of infantry being killed by heavy artillery next.

Just when the officers of Xiusan organization gathered up the chaotic troops, looking at Kongjiagou, shrouded in artillery fire in front of him, He Zhengdao also felt very relieved. He felt that all the Japanese had endured were all their own efforts.

According to He Zhengdao's order, each of the fourteen heavy artillery fired about ten shells at the Japanese camp in Kongjiagou. Even though he was still unsatisfied, Zhu Ding still asked the heavy artillery to stop the shelling in time.

After all, as Hiroshi Ren guessed, the shells they used now were all shells that had been snatched by the Japanese in the previous episode. One shot was really one less, so naturally they needed to save some effort.

‘Commander, can you get field cannons now?’

‘Yes! According to the previous plan, you will do it. Remember, there are not many opportunities for this kind of actual combat, and our artillery must know the operating procedures of this heavy artillery. The accuracy of your shells must also be improved in the future.’

‘Yes, please rest assured, the commander! When the battle is over, I will definitely let our heavy artillery battalion point and blow it up in the shortest time. However, the problem of shells must be solved as soon as possible.’

‘Don’t worry! I had already asked the transport convoy to transport the captured heavy shells back to the arsenal before, and let our experts imitate them. I believe that it will not take long before we can produce the shells used for this heavy shell on our own.’

As the scale of the arsenal continued to expand, experts and technicians recruited from all over the country and abroad gathered in the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army. For the arsenal, the pressure of imitation of this heavy shell is relatively less.

After all, whether now or in the future, China has always been the world's leading ability in imitation!

When the heavy artillery battalion ended tonight's shelling and began to prepare for evacuation, the Japanese army in Kongjiagou also felt bitter when they looked at the messy shelling scene. Everyone knew that these heavy artillery was originally the equipment of their division!

Just when the Japanese army felt that tonight's artillery might end and they would need to face the attack of the Eighth Route Army next time. Another round of artillery began, which once again made these Japanese soldiers feel unconscious. The entire temporary camp was like the Shura hell.

‘Baga! This is our field cannon!’

On the other hand, the offensive troops who were standing by the outside of Kongjiagou seemed very happy. Looking at the loud explosions, they all felt very happy. After all, this was their artillery, shelling the Japanese!

In the past, they tasted the power of the Japanese heavy artillery. Now the feng shui has changed in turn, allowing the Japanese to taste the power of their heavy artillery. This somewhat made the Eighth Route Army soldiers feel that this can also be called "self-inflicted"!
