The twelve heavy guns of the artillery brigade were all aimed at Laiyuan City, and the artillery positions of the garrison regiment were behind them.

A counterattack meant that they had to turn all their heavy artillery before they could open fire.

It is not easy to turn a cannon weighing several thousand pounds in the midst of artillery fire.

"Boom ......"

Explosions continued to sound in artillery positions, and soldiers were constantly blown away or directly on the ground to minced meat.

There were also quite a few artillery pieces that were blown up crooked, or blown into scrap metal.

The captain was lucky that there were no shells in the vicinity.

But it was also very heart-wrenching, witnessing the heavy artillery brigade drowning in artillery fire and losing its combat effectiveness little by little, as if a knife was cutting.

"Sir, the shelling has stopped!" The adjutant suddenly shouted, his face full of excitement.

The captain was not happy at all.

The shelling lasted only two minutes, but at least a hundred heavy artillery shells were fired.

With such fierce artillery fire, even if the heavy artillery brigade did not completely lose its combat effectiveness, it would not be much worse.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a roar reached the captain's ears.

The smoke of gunpowder covered the position tightly, and the captain could not see anything, only hear.

The roar was getting closer and closer, and it continued to come like thunder.

As the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly, the captain finally understood, and his face quickly turned pale: "Bage Yalu, it's cavalry, and some cavalry are coming towards us." ”

"What are the vigilant troops doing, why didn't they find them in advance and give us an early warning!"

"Everyone, block them on the spot, stop them at all costs, otherwise our heavy artillery brigade is really finished."

After saying that, the captain picked up a rifle from the headquarters and rushed to the position, shouting as he rushed.

"We are also on the machine gun, machine guns are used, there are no machine guns and rifles, it is really not possible to use grenades, and the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army who rushed over will die together, stop them at all costs, and must not let them kill into the artillery position."

The cavalry assault was too fast.

Cover by artillery fire for two minutes, directly from the forest one kilometer away to a position two hundred meters away from the artillery position.

All the guards they encountered along the way were solved by them with horse rifles.

Although the gunfire was very harsh, it did not attract anyone's attention under the cover of the artillery sound, especially the captain of the artillery position in the middle, whose ears were full of artillery sounds, and it was impossible to hear them.

At the end of the shelling, two cavalry companies had already touched the side of the position.

The assault distance of two hundred meters was fleeting for the cavalry.

On the artillery position, there were not many little devils still alive, and many people were dizzy by the heavy artillery.

When the cavalry rushed over, there were only a dozen devils who could really fight back.

No sooner had the first shot been fired, and the cavalry began to counterattack, firing a barrage of horse rifle bullets at them.

The little devils who survived by luck were just about to shoot the second shot, and the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.

The horse rifle in the hand of the cavalryman has been replaced with a saber, held high in his hand, and rushed towards the devil in an assault posture.

The knife fell, and the devil only had time to let out a scream, and a deep blood mark appeared from his neck to his chest, staring at a pair of eyes full of fear, and he fell to the ground on his back.

The Japanese command, Takahashi Daisa's face was not bloody, and it was a little scary.

Standing at the door of the tent, looking at the artillery positions behind him that had been shrouded in artillery fire, his eyes were full of despair and without the slightest color.

"It's over......"

After spitting out these two words, the strength of the whole person seemed to be drained in an instant, and he fell directly to the ground.

The chief of staff was quick and quickly held him up.

"Sir, you must not be in trouble, the troops are in danger, if something happens to you, we are really finished."

Takahashi nodded and stood up with his body bracing himself, and it took several seconds for him to recover.

Seeing that many of his subordinates had panicked expressions on their faces, he decisively ordered: "This battle can't be fought again!" ”

"According to intelligence, the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment has lost its combat effectiveness because of the lack of ammunition, and in fact, on the contrary, they have not only not lost their combat effectiveness, but also have sufficient ammunition."

"The heavy artillery brigade has not started to fight back until now, and it has been passively beaten, and it must be over."

"If we lose the heavy artillery brigade, we will have no troops to resist the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment, and if we continue to fight, we will definitely die."

"Sir......

A herald suddenly rushed over and interrupted Takahashi's unfinished words!

"The heavy artillery brigade was attacked by the heavy artillery battalion and cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army, and the whole army was wiped out, and the captain of the brigade was also killed."

This result was completely unexpected by Takahashi Daisa, but he still had a shocked expression on his face.

Staring at the herald, the herald asked rhetorically: "Wait a minute, you just said that in addition to the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment, there is also a cavalry unit attacking the heavy artillery brigade. ”

"Hey, there's at least two cavalry companies." The herald affirmed.

"No, we're in danger." Takahashi's face turned pale again.

"Heavy artillery cover, cavalry raid, this style of play is too advantageous, and the field infantry has no chance to counterattack when encountering this style of play, let alone the heavy artillery brigade."

After glancing at his watch, he continued: "It has been less than five minutes since the shelling began, and a heavy artillery brigade is gone. ”

"If we were targeted, they would have been able to kill from the artillery positions in a matter of minutes."

"Pass my order, all the troops in the north of the city immediately retreat, retreat to the southwest, join the chariot squadron to reinforce the garrison in the west of the city, and then break through and leave here together."

"Contact the garrisons in the south and east of the city, break through the siege at all costs, and join us."

"Woo woo woo ......"

The herald received the order, and before the man could move, the scream of cannonballs across the sky rang out in the air.

The voices were getting louder and louder, and it was clearly flying towards them.

"Shelling, we are being targeted by heavy artillery, protect the wing commander, immediately transfer ......" the artillery staff officer was the first to respond.

Several guards rushed to Takahashi's side like an electric shock, two people supported one left and one right, and the others used their bodies to block the surroundings, forming a tight protective circle, and then ran to the side of him to a depression.

"Boom ......"

The shell exploded, more than a hundred meters from them.

Takahashi was lucky not to be hurt except to feel a wave of qi coming at him.

The troop assembly not far away was not so lucky.

In the sound of the cannon, the fire splashed everywhere, and thick and thick black smoke rose into the air in the cannon fire.

The soldiers who were resting in the assembly area, even if they lay on the ground for the first time, still could not escape the damage of the heavy artillery.

The air wave swept over like the wind, and instantly blew the devil lying on the ground into the sky and received the baptism of the shock wave.

When he hit the ground, this devil had already turned into a corpse, all his internal organs were shattered, and the corners of his mouth and nostrils were all bleeding.

"Retreat, ......retreat now," Takahashi shouted as he got up from the ground and hurried.

The shelling has begun, and the cavalry is certainly not far from here.

Once they rushed over, the remaining infantry in the assembly area would surely be slaughtered by the cavalry.

Even he could die at the hands of the cavalry.

Only by finding the chariot squadron and joining them can you block the cavalry assault.
