Chapter 45: The Great Victory of Magnetic Mountain

"Boom" A modified combat vehicle that was spewing barrage at the Japanese army turned into a ball of fireball, and was hit by a large-caliber shell, even a modified combat vehicle with protective armor could not withstand it. Seeing that the second line of defense of the Japanese army was about to be pressed, the Japanese army received support from the Japanese army in Handan, and Zhuo Fei had just learned that the Japanese army in Handan had brought an artillery unit, including two Type 91 105mm howitzers, in addition to more than a dozen 75mm caliber guns in the column.

"Retreat, retreat." Seeing that the Japanese army had received artillery support from the rear, the officers of the Eighth Route Army, who commanded the battle on the front line, immediately ordered the troops to retreat according to the contingency plan. The infantry, which had just broken into the second line of defense of the Japanese army, retreated like a tide, but the sappers seized the time and used the ammunition and explosives left by the Japanese puppet army to wantonly set traps and mines on the dilapidated positions of the Japanese army.

The Handan Japanese army made a move, which was already in Zhuo Fei's plan, and in fact, it could lead the Handan Japanese army out, which was a surprise for Zhuo Fei and their battle plan. "Look, the Chinese army has retreated, the Chinese army has retreated." The Japanese soldiers who were about to be driven out of the second line of defense by the Eighth Route Army suddenly shouted, only to see that the armored vehicles and tanks of the Chinese Army, which were still invincible before, had retreated, and the infantry who had followed the tanks all the way forward were also retreating.

The news was quickly transmitted to the artillery positions behind the Japanese puppet army positions, and these Japanese artillerymen who had just arrived from Handan were very complacent. "Shift your position and beware of retaliation from the artillery fire of the China." The Japanese officer in command of the artillery position had not lost the vigilance he should have, and he was happy and immediately ordered the artillery position to be transferred, and if these artillery problems went wrong again, there would be no more heavy firepower weapons in the Cishan position.

The towing frame of the large-caliber howitzer had just been raised, but an artillery commander suddenly looked up into the air, and in the blink of an eye, the artillery commander's face immediately changed color and shouted in a lost voice, "Shelling, it's the shelling of the people." The roar of the artillery commander echoed back and forth in the wounds of the artillery position, and by the time most of the Japanese artillery reacted, the sound of shells breaking through the air in mid-air was already close at hand.

"Boom" A column of smoke rose from the outer edge of the Japanese artillery position, and the two unlucky eggs were blown to the ground by the air wave of the explosion. Seeing this, the Japanese artillerymen in the position immediately accelerated their movements, because they all knew that this was just a test shell from the other side, and the next thing would be a salvo of the enemy's artillery. In fact, the speed at which Zhuo Fei's artillery was fired was beyond the expectations of the Japanese artillerymen, and the first test-fired shell landed and exploded, and Zhuo Fei had already asked his artillerymen to adjust the artillery in time through his map system.

The Japanese artillery position had just hung the towing frame of a 105 howitzer on the tail of the truck, and the retaliatory fire from Zhuo Fei's side had already been fired. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "

Three volleys were fired, and Zhuo Fei didn't have the patience to wait for the reply of the observation post in front at all, but just ordered all the cannons to move forward. The three salvos just now at most knocked out the opponent's large-caliber artillery, but the Japanese army on the opposite side still has a lot of 75 mountain guns and field guns, and there are also Type 92 infantry guns that can pose a certain threat to the modified combat vehicles.

More than a dozen tracked armored vehicles that were transferred to help roared, and the bulky 105 howitzers were quickly moved forward to the next artillery position, while Zhuo Fei was using his map system to carefully find out where the heavy firepower equipment of the Japanese army on the opposite side was. A huge explosion sounded again in the rear of the position, and the Japanese puppet army who were lucky enough to get back the second line of defense were all dumbfounded, and the 105 howitzer transferred from Handan had just made its debut, and it was destroyed by the Chinese army, so in the next battle, wouldn't it be that you could only rely on the rifle in your hand?

Zhuo Fei quickly answered the questions of the Japanese puppet soldiers, relying on his own map system, Zhuo Fei quickly locked on to the positions of the Japanese 75 mountain artillery and field artillery. Without leaving much time for the Japanese puppet army to react, Zhuo Fei personally helped the artillerymen adjust the artillery, and after three rounds of uninterrupted heavy artillery salvos, the 75 mountain artillery and field artillery positions of the Japanese puppet army on the opposite side also became a ruin. Then it became a one-man show time for Zhuo Fei and his artillerymen, and even for just one Type 92 infantry gun, Zhuo Fei would use three 105 howitzers to carry out artillery fire covering fire.

When did the Chinese army ever have such a strong artillery fire? The Japanese puppet officers, who had lost all their heavy weapons, could only continue to grit their teeth and hold on, because they believed that their side still had at least the advantage in numbers. After destroying all the heavy weapons of the Japanese puppet army on the opposite side, Zhuo Fei set his eyes on the light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese position, accompanied by the monotonous and boring explosion, the second position of the Japanese puppet army would rise from time to time with one or several plumes of smoke, and in these rising pillars of smoke, there must be some fragments of machine guns or human limbs.

This is no longer a war, once upon a time, it was the Japanese army that ravaged the Chinese army with artillery fire. But now, the perpetrators and the ravaged have switched positions, and Zhuo Fei's artillerymen can't use their 105 howitzers to attack a single Japanese soldier, and the once invincible Japanese soldiers can now only cower in their trenches and anti-artillery holes. The trumpet of the attack sounded again, and the Eighth Route Army did not send only one regiment of troops in its attack this time as it had just done, but the Eighth Route Army directly sent three regiments up this time.

The tanks and armored vehicles that had been on standby were mobilized and drove across the positions of the Eighth Route Army to the opposite side, followed by varying numbers of escort infantry. The sound of gunfire and explosions intensified again, and after losing long-range artillery fire and some light and heavy machine guns, the only thing the Japanese puppet troops in the position could rely on was the rifles in their hands. It's just a pity that if they only relied on their respective rifles, it would be difficult to repel this attack of the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Give them two more rounds of cannon fodder covering, and then the artillery fire extends backwards." Seeing that the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacked again, Zhuo Fei, who had been waiting for the gun barrel to cool down, followed the order to continue to bombard the positions of the Japanese puppet army and provide artillery support for the attacking Eighth Route Army troops. Lao Tzu's troops also had artillery support, and the officers of the Eighth Route Army who led the charge on the forward line were full of joy, and as tanks and armored vehicles advanced hand in hand, the second line of defense of the Japanese puppet army was quickly breached.

"Rush, the little devil can't hold on." A tide of people poured into the position of the Japanese puppet army, accompanied by an earth-shattering shout, even the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were empty in the chamber of their guns, did not stop, and chased after the Japanese puppet army who withdrew from the position. There is a large open area behind the two lines of defense of the Japanese puppet army, and those modified chariots on the side of the Eighth Route Army showed their power at this time, relying on their strong mobility ability, 5 modified chariots quickly advanced from the flank of the position, and relied on the strong firepower to cut the retreating Japanese puppet army in half.

There were more than 200 Japanese puppet soldiers intercepted by modified chariots, and almost all of the diehards who wanted to serve their emperor had been killed, and the remaining Japanese puppet troops had completely lost their fighting spirit, and after the shouts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Man is the most complex animal in the world, and at the same time the most blindly obedient animal, starting from the appearance of the first voluntary surrenderer, the act of surrendering to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on their knees spread like a plague, and by the end of the battle, the Eighth Route Army troops had received about 300 Japanese puppet prisoners.

"Don't stop, keep chasing, keep chasing." The rear tailgate has been opened, and almost every modified vehicle carries a varying number of covering infantry, and their only task now is to pursue the rout of the Japanese puppet army. The heavy machine gun mounted on the modified tank has no intention of stopping firing, as long as it sees the Japanese puppet army in the rout or dares to counterattack, the heavy machine gun mounted on the tank will sweep a string of bullets away.

The roar behind him followed the panicked Japanese puppet army like a nightmare, and those Imperial Cooperative troops could say that they knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy if they couldn't do it, but those Japanese soldiers couldn't do this, because the pride of the imperial soldiers made it impossible for them to do such an honorless thing. Some of the Japanese routs who couldn't run turned back one after another to counterattack, but they couldn't resist the strafing of large-caliber heavy machine guns, and just a photo of the face would be swept to the ground by the barrage and become a broken corpse.

More and more surrenderers also made the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army troops gradually slow down, probably afraid that they would encounter an ambush by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army troops finally ordered to stop the pursuit, and those modified combat vehicles that had been chased far away were also called back by walkie-talkies. At this point, the battle was temporarily over, the Eighth Route Army successfully controlled the entire town of Cishan, and the Japanese troops transferred by Okamura Ninji did not really collapse, they only temporarily retreated to avoid the current unfavorable situation.

Not to mention the dozen or so 105 howitzers that Zhuo Fei got from the Japanese army, they were just trophies obtained by the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army from the positions of the Japanese puppet army, which could be enough for them to equip three integrated regiments. "Everyone, this is just an infantry wing of the Japanese army that has just been repulsed, and the Japanese army will come back soon, you have to prepare, prepare to fight the Japanese army again here in Handan."
