After many dangers and hardships, comparable to Tang Seng learning from the scriptures, the soldiers of the artillery brigade finally arrived at the battlefield in Jingcheng with their weapons on their shoulders, only two hours late when they reached their goal on time.

"Divisional Commander, Divisional Commander, it's here! It's here! The signal soldiers ran into Ma Wanzhong's headquarters and reported loudly.

Ma Wanzhong, who hadn't slept much all night, was sleepy and depressed at this time, and when he heard the soldier's shouting, he immediately got up and looked at the soldier: "What's coming?" ”

"Division commander, the artillery brigade has arrived, and their vanguard is already arranging positions!"

Ma Wanzhong looked at his watch, although he was two hours late, but because of the weather, it was not too late to arrive now, and the artillery brigade came at the right time.

"Chief of Staff, you take it with you at the headquarters, I'll go to the front line to have a look!" Ma Wanzhong came to the spirit, the artillery brigade finally arrived, and he could finally put down the last stone in his heart.

Ma Wanzhong rode a truck all the way to the predetermined position of the artillery brigade, and at this time the soldiers of the artillery brigade were digging fortifications to reassemble their artillery.

"Where's your captain?" Ma Wanzhong grabbed a soldier and asked.

"Our regiment commander has not yet arrived at the end of the troops, but our battalion commander is at the front, helping to carry ammunition!" The soldier pointed Ma Wanzhong in a direction.

Ma Wanzhong was already impatient, he waited until the artillery brigade arrived after looking through the autumn water, and he didn't care about his image at all, so he trotted all the way to find the battalion commander of the artillery brigade.

When the battalion commander of the artillery brigade saw Ma Wanzhong coming, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and saluted Ma Wanzhong, but before he could raise his arm, Ma Wanzhong hugged him with a bear hug.

"Thank God, you guys finally arrived, I thought you would have to delay for a day with such a heavy rain!" Ma Wanzhong almost burst into tears, he was really not sure if they would be able to hold their positions for a day, and if the artillery brigade arrived a minute earlier, they would have sacrificed several fewer soldiers.

"Master Ma...... Can you let me go first? "The battalion commander of the artillery brigade was a little embarrassed to be held by Ma Wanzhong.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ma Wanzhong also realized that he was out of shape, it was really that he had been looking forward to the artillery brigade for a long time, and the time waiting for the arrival of the artillery brigade at the headquarters seemed to be like a year, and now that he finally saw them, how could he not be excited.

"Division Commander Ma, our regiment commander estimates that there will be two hours to arrive at the latest, and then we will need half an hour to arrange the position and adjust the coordinates, when does Division Commander Ma plan to launch an attack?"

Before the regiment commander arrived, he was the supreme commander here, so he had to be ready to fire artillery at any time, and after the artillery bombardment was over, Ma Wanzhong's troops would inevitably launch a general attack, and they had to cooperate well in the process.

"Of course, the sooner the better, I have already ordered the troops, as long as you hear your artillery, prepare to attack, as long as the shelling is over, all the surrounding troops will press up!" Ma Wanzhong didn't want to delay any longer, so he would finish this battle early and go back to wash and sleep early.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery brigade finally set up all its positions west of the Jingcheng mining area, and they aimed their guns at the place where the Japanese troops had assembled, waiting for an order.

"Commander, everything is ready!"

"Fire!" The regiment commander ordered.

The hundreds of artillery pieces of various types equipped with the artillery brigade roared at the same time, and the rumbling sound of the cannon shook the heavens and the earth, as if an earthquake had occurred. Ma Wanzhong stood on the hillside and looked at the smoke and fire from the explosion in the distance with a telescope, with a smug smile on his face.

"Boom Boom"

The Japanese positions were caught in a sea of fire, and shells fired from hundreds of artillery pieces fell on the positions, and even if they were lucky enough not to be killed, they could be buried alive. The little devils never imagined that the Chinese army would have such powerful artillery, and the density of fire has far exceeded the density of their artillery coverage.

The little devils were surrounded in the Jingcheng mining area, except for the fortifications they built, they had nowhere to hide, and many of the little devils were blown up by shells before they could find a place to hide.

The shells whistled in, the whistling sound seemed to carry revenge and anger, as if they also wanted to avenge the sacrificed soldiers and innocent people, the shells exploded on the Japanese position one after another flames and gunsmoke composed of gorgeous flowers, the little devils on the surface of the position were like a kite with a broken string, swept out by the air wave generated by the explosion of the shells, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

The wounded little devils on the Japanese position kept wailing and screaming, hoping that their companions would hear their voices and save them, but such a dense artillery fire was not covered by fortifications, and to go out was to die, and no one was stupid enough to go out at this time.

On the position of the artillery brigade, the soldiers skillfully manipulated the artillery, and the reloading almost looked very mechanical, very orderly, and occasionally adjusted the angle of the artillery, regardless of whether the shells fired would hit the target, and how many devils would be killed in one shot, they simply repeated these actions.

The rumbling sound of cannon silenced all sounds, and the soldiers could only communicate with each other through hand gestures, and only the deafening sound of cannon remained in the area.

"Boom Boom"

One after another, the shells were shot out, as if to vent some kind of feeling, and smoke began to billowing on the artillery positions, and after a long period of shooting, the smoke did not have time to disperse, and began to spread densely around them.

"How long?" The commander of the artillery brigade asked the fighters beside him.

"It's been half an hour!"

"Stop firing the artillery, tell the soldiers to camouflage the cannons, guard against the little devil's plane, and inform Commander Ma that they will be seen next!"

Ma Wanzhong had already arranged everything, and the end of the artillery was the beginning of the general attack.

"Rush!" After the artillery was over, a company commander jumped out, shouted loudly, and took the lead in charging the Japanese position.

When the shelling ended, the shouts of killing instantly replaced all the explosions, and the fighters began to charge forward like crazy, and the Japanese positions were silent, and there was no counterattack at all.

When the soldiers finally rushed to the Japanese position, sporadic gunfire rang out on the battlefield, and most of the Japanese soldiers had lost their ability to judge by the violent explosion position, and by the time they reacted, the Chinese soldiers had already rushed to the position.

The soldiers finally saw the power of artillery, and the position was full of mutilated bodies, some of the little devils had no heads, but their torsos were still twisting painfully on the ground.

The Japanese did not return fire violently, not even their most uncomfortable suicide attacks, they had lost the ability to resist.

"Report to the company commander, our company has captured more than 200 prisoners!" A soldier looked proudly at his company commander.

There was no suspense in this battle, and the original charge battle turned into a capture of prisoners, and the soldiers dug the little devils out of the soil like yam.

Some little devils were buried together, like grasshoppers, three in a string, five in a plate, and the weapons in their hands could not be found, let alone resist.

"Don't just catch the prisoners, get more guns and ammunition, what's the use of these prisoners, they also eat our food, with weapons and ammunition, we will be even more tough when we fight with the little devils in the future!"

Obviously, the company commander doesn't like the living little devils, he prefers the weapons and ammunition in the hands of the little devils, but the prisoners in hand can't be thrown away, a squad of soldiers can watch hundreds of prisoners of war who have lost the ability to resist, and other soldiers hurriedly clean up the battlefield and collect the weapons and ammunition of the little devils from the mound.

The Japanese front-line commander did not expect that their troops would be defeated so quickly, that was a force of more than 10,000 people, he thought that even if he could not break through the positions of the Chinese army, it would be no problem to hold on for ten days and half a month, but everything was over, just now their radio lost any news.

Of course, the observation post at the front heard the deafening sound of artillery, but the commander of the little devil refused to believe that the Chinese army would have such a powerful firepower. The Chinese army is no longer the weak sheep, they can bite a few bites when they want, and now they are fully armed and have great firepower.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now?"

"What did the aviation forces say?" The Japanese commander asked.

"The artillery positions of the Chinese army were not found, and the Chinese army did not have powerful artillery, maybe they surrounded our troops these days, probably for their secret weapons to be delivered to the battlefield!"

The staff officers of the little devils could think that the New 33rd Army had a powerful artillery unit that could make the Imperial Japanese Army incapacitated, and except for the fact that they admitted that they were not opponents in the battle with the Soviets at Nomenkan, the little devils never believed that the weak China would one day.

However, of course, they did not expect that Liao Fan began to plan the component artillery brigade when he came to Taihang Mountain, after more than two years of development, the artillery brigade has hardly appeared in formation, they are always divided into several parts to support regional battles, and now it is the first time that they are really all assembled to give full play to their most powerful combat effectiveness.

The commander of the little devil nodded, agreed with the staff officer's statement, he also did not believe that the Chinese army would have such a powerful artillery, although they believed in the cooperation between the soldiers of the new 33rd Army, the cooperation between the troops was much stronger than them, but in terms of heavy weapons, they were not even short of ammunition, where did so many artillery come from, they must have used some new weapons, and attacked their troops when their troops were not paying attention.

"Your Excellency, what do we do now? It has lost its point to continue to advance westward, and now that Shanxi has retreated to Taiyuan, and the troops attacking Datong have also retreated, should we also retreat? ”

The little devil's plan to attack Taihang Mountain from three sides has retreated in two directions, only one of them is still attacking, which can be said to be difficult to support alone, and they have just lost an elite army, although the loss of 10,000 people has no impact on the Japanese army in Hebei, but it has lost the meaning of the battle.
