In Hattori's memory, he had never seen a Chinese army equipped with such heavy artillery.

Looking at the huge pits, Rao couldn't help but be afraid at the moment with the strong determination of Hattori's ministers, fortunately these shells were crooked and did not fall in their camp, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The subordinate soldiers were already too tired to set up camp, and they had not had time to rest, and if they changed the place of camping again, they were afraid that they would not have to do anything this night, and they would not have the strength to continue to charge the enemy camp tomorrow.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, and determining that it would be difficult for the enemy's artillery shells to hit their camp, he ordered the soldiers to return to the camp to rest.

At the same time, the forward scouts were kept an eye on the enemy's movements to prevent them from raiding the camp at night.

On the coalition side, the reason why the commander-in-chief Wang Gui ordered the non-stop firing was not actually to cause many casualties to the enemy, nor was it because there were too many shells for fear of mold, but just because he didn't want these little devils to sleep peacefully, so that their physical strength and energy could not be recovered.

After all, the artillery position of the coalition army is more than 10 miles away from the little devil's position, and at this distance, ordinary field artillery cannot reach it at all.

The two 155mm howitzers were able to hit, but the problem was that at the level of the allied gunners, they could not hit targets 10 miles away.

The firing is just to scare and scare the little devils of the 21st Brigade.

Of course, it would be nice if it could do some damage.

At first, under the threat of heavy artillery, the little devils of the 21st Brigade did not dare to sleep, and gradually, as time went by, they became more and more sleepy, and the shells never fell in their camp, and these little devils became much more courageous.

And just as they were about to fall asleep, a cannonball suddenly landed in their camp, shattering their dreams.

At the point where the shell landed, the tarpaulin tent with a diameter of about ten meters directly turned into a huge flame, and in the firelight, dozens of little devil officers and soldiers died together, and the corpses were torn into pieces by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion.

As this loud noise spread, the little devils in the camp were awakened again as soon as they fell asleep, and they could no longer sleep peacefully.

They were afraid that the next shell would fall on their tents.

……

In the early morning of the next day, almost half of the officers and soldiers of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army wore two big black circles under their eyes.

The brigade commander, Naomi Hattori, was no exception.

The anger in his heart could not be extinguished, and as soon as the morning dawned, Hattori Naomi gave the order to launch a general attack.

First, a round of rapid fire was carried out to carpet bombard the positions of the wings.

Then, under the cover of artillery fire, the army directly launched a charge against the coalition positions.

"Kill the chicken and give it! Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor, attack! Sortie! ”

The former enemy commander was a devil Shaozuo, who was brandishing the adjutant knife in his hand at the moment, standing at a mountain pass and directing the army to rush forward.

With his order, hundreds of officers and soldiers from the devil immediately marched forward with rifles.

As a result, before he could give too many orders, a 75-mm infantry artillery shell fell at his feet.

With a cloud of red light rising into the sky, the body of this little devil Shaozuo was lifted into the air, and when it fell heavily, there was no sound.

It may be difficult to hit a target 10 miles away, but it couldn't be easier to hit a target more than a mile away.

Almost every skilled gunner has a great deal of confidence that he can do it.

The commander was shattered, but the charge of the army of little devils was not affected; In this way, it can also be seen that their military qualities are also visible.

Soon, the little devil changed another former enemy commander.

After learning from the experience of the previous colleague's death, this little devil Shaozo is obviously a lot more cunning.

He no longer charged with the army, but hid at the back of the army, and even gave orders with the help of several subordinates, Cao Chang.

On the part of the coalition forces.

Commander-in-chief Wang Gui casually picked up a formal rifle, turned his head to look at the deputy commander Huo Zhengyun on the side, and said, "Commander Huo, why don't we try our marksmanship again?" ”

"Since the commander-in-chief has this idea, then I might as well be respectful."

Huo Zhengyun knew that it was estimated that if he tried his marksmanship with Wang Gui, he would be abused again nine times out of ten, but as the commander of the first regiment of the 14th Army Guard Regiment, he also had his own arrogance, although he knew that he was invincible, he still picked up a formal rifle casually.

Not only Huo Zhengyun, as long as he is a soldier, he has his own arrogance, he can lose, but he will never surrender, especially without a fight.

Because that's a great shame for a soldier.

"Bang!"

Wang Gui took the lead in firing, shot the head, and killed a leading little devil Juncao.

The devil had a small plaster flag on the tip of his rifle in his hand, which was a status symbol.

Only commanders, such as Jun Cao or Cao Chang, are qualified to plant a flag on the tip of a gun.

"Bang!"

Huo Zhengyun was also not to be left behind, pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet to load, and finally pulled the trigger, knocking down a little devil officer and soldier with one shot, clean and neat, without the slightest drag.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and thousands of defenders of the coalition army opened fire at this moment.

Suddenly, the bullet was like rain, carrying the sound of "whirring" breaking through the air, pouring out.

"Puff puff! ——”

The little devils who were charging kept getting shot and falling.

At the same time, after locking on the artillery positions of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, the artillery on the side of the coalition forces also opened full fire.

One after another, carrying the sound of breaking the wind tearing the air, after drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, smashed like a meteorite falling to the ground, and smashed down on the artillery position of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army.

As a result, its artillery positions were instantly overwhelmed by a sea of fire.

The artillerymen did not care to continue the artillery, and scattered in all directions.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

A field gun, under the counterattack of the artillery of the wing, was blown apart.

Some shells were killed in the explosion, further amplifying the power of the explosion.

The coalition forces took the repreemptive action, and after destroying the artillery positions of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese army, they quickly turned their guns on the little devils who were bravely charging.

In fact, the artillery brigade of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was not so fragile, nor was it so vulnerable, and the reason for this had to start with Yang Chen's southern patrol air raid the day before yesterday.

During that air attack, Yang Chen focused on taking care of the artillery positions of the Japanese Fifth Division.

And the 21st Brigade is subordinate to the 5th Division, so the result can be imagined.

After that bombardment, the artillery strength of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army had been greatly weakened by Yang Chen.
