Perhaps stimulated by hearing the news that Su Jin was almost killed by Japanese shells, Li Wei immediately ordered all the mortars of the regiment to immediately launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese army, and nearly 50 mortars of 60 and 81 caliber began a covering shelling of the Japanese troops in front of the position, and for a time immediately built a death zone 800 to 1,200 meters away from the front of their position, and countless shells fell on the heads of the attacking Japanese troops.

As the shells glided through the air and the piercing screech, an earth-shattering explosion rang out from the starting positions of the Japanese troops.

With the violent explosions one after another, the Japanese position was immediately plunged into a tremor, and the debris and clods of earth fell like raindrops on everyone's helmets and shoulders, and even several shells that deviated from the course happened to fall next to the captain of the 7th Wing, Kazuo Isa, who was commanding the battle. The huge shock wave thrust him to the ground, and it wasn't until a few moments after the explosion was over that he had the strength to slowly get up, his stomach churning from the explosion just now, and he was miserable.

Looking back, he found that the three guards who had been surrounding him were still lying on the ground, and one of the guards' helmet had disappeared, and his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't stop spitting blood and foam in his mouth, and he couldn't survive.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Soon, the surrounding guards and several officers rushed over to help Iza Kazuo up, and then everyone came to the back of a relatively safe dirt slope. Esa Kazuo, who had escaped, felt a wave of fatigue coming from his body, and he could only lean against the earthen wall and gasp for breath.

Just as Izuo was about to say something, there was a loud "......boom", and a Type 92 infantry gun that was firing at the front was hit by a mortar shell, and four artillerymen and the infantry gun were blown into the air on the spot.

Chief of Staff Ogawa Henan, who was standing next to Kazuo Isa, couldn't help but scold: "Yaga, how can these damn Shina people have so many mortars, do they say that their shells don't cost money?" ”

Izuo Kazuo looked at the falling shells with a somewhat complicated face, and whispered helplessly: "Is this the real strength of the Shina Jingguan Army?" ”

As the oldest and most elite member of the Japanese Army, he is also the commander of the 7th Infantry Wing. Kazuo Iza naturally has his own unique pride in his heart.

Most of the soldiers of the 9th Division were soldiers from Toyama Prefecture, Ishikawa Prefecture, and Fukui Prefecture in Hokuriku, and it had the characteristics of unity and unity that was unique to the Hokuriku region of Japan. The people of Ishikawa Prefecture are quite conservative and closed-minded, so they are also reticent. The people of Toyama Prefecture belong to the kind of thrifty rationalists who have strong practical ability, while the Sabae and Tsuruga people in Fukui Prefecture are quite tenacious and hard-working, so the division has been the main force of the Japanese Army since its formation, and has always been known for daring to fight evil battles and tough battles.

In the opinion of Kazuo Isa. In today's battle, the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower, artillery group and individual firepower all shocked him, and he even had to admit that if his side removed the advantage of aviation, the other side's firepower had exceeded the strength of the army of the Great Japanese Empire, this discovery made him a little unconvinced and shocked, where did this army come from so many advanced equipment, did Germany really tear up the military alliance with the empire and began to support the Chinese?

Seeing that Izuo Kazuo was silent, Chief of Staff Kazunan Ogawa asked with some concern, "Your Excellency Wing Commander." The artillery fire of the Chinese is too fierce, should we suspend the attack for the first time and wait until the artillery wing enters the position before launching the attack? ”

Ogawa Honan's words are very reasonable, as an elite field unit. The 9th Division is equipped with a heavy artillery wing rarely seen in other divisions, and the heavy artillery wing is equipped with at least 30 heavy guns, including four-year 150-mm howitzers, ninety-six 150-mm howitzers, and 14-year 105-mm cannons.

In the past, when the 9th Division was engaged in a battle with the Nationalist Army, when it encountered the enemy's strong and difficult position, the infantry would contact the heavy artillery wing and use the heavy artillery to bombard the opponent's firepower points and positions. Today, Ogawa Kanan naturally wants to repeat his old tricks.

Unexpectedly, Izuo Kazuo shook his head and said with some frustration: "Have you forgotten that the people of China also have an artillery group?" Judging from the situation just now, they have at least dozens of heavy guns of more than 105 calibers, do you think they will let our heavy artillery bombard their positions? ”

Ogawa Henan was so anxious that he stomped his foot: "Then what should I do." Why don't we ask Your Excellency the Division Commander to call in the aviation to support you again? ”

"Stupid, don't you see that the air force has already lost nine fighters for this just now, and those proud air forces will fight hard for us again?" When it comes to the aviation troops, Izuo Kazuo is angry, he saw the battle just now, he originally thought that with the help of the aviation troops, they would be able to take the opponent's position effortlessly, but he never thought that the aviation troops, who have always been arrogant, would suffer such a big loss, although the bombs they dropped almost blew the opponent's position into ruins, but the aviation troops also paid the price of nine fighters for this, Izuo Kazuo can be sure that when the commander of the third flight division saw the battle damage report, his face would not know what to look like.

"What then?" Ogawa Henan was a little anxious.

"What else can I do, I can only fight!" Iza Kazuo shook his head helplessly, there is nothing to say about the battle when it comes to this, and the two sides can only fight for strength.

In this way, the Japanese troops of two squadrons continued to attack the positions of the independent brigade under the cover of dozens of combat vehicles, relying on the terrain......

"Huh...... You tap, this is meat, not a stone mill for your young lady's practice! ”

In a hidden woods three or four miles away from the position of the Second Regiment, Xiaoyu, who had just been transferred back to the brigade headquarters some time ago, was using alcohol to clean Su Jin's wounds, while our Su Brigade was grinning in pain.

"I know that you are still working so hard to hurt you, you deserve to die of pain!" Xiaoyu, whose eyes were a little red, complained while cleaning his wound with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

"How did the young lady and the chief of staff persuade you to come this morning, you are now a general, why do you still like to drill into the front line so much, and the bullets of the Japanese are not long-sighted, what should I do if I am injured? If there's a good guy you'll let me ...... What should Miss Jean do? ”

Su Jin knew that he was at a loss, so he lowered his head and let the little girl nag.

"Travel...... How did you get hurt. At this time, Zhou Yusheng's voice suddenly came from outside. (To be continued.) )
