EIGHTEEN SHELLS WERE FIRED FROM SIX 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS OF THE FIRST ARTILLERY COMPANY, AND THEY SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYED TWO JAPANESE INFANTRY GUNS AND FOUR HEAVY MACHINE GUNS.

After the Japanese commander was bombarded, he immediately ordered his troops to take cover, and at the same time he asked the artillery wing behind him to provide artillery support.

After Kobayashi Nobuo Osaku heard the sound of artillery, he immediately held a telescope to observe the situation in Naozhai Mountain, and saw that the Eighth Route Army in Naozhai Mountain still had mountain artillery, so he immediately ordered the troops to assemble and disassemble the artillery, and all the artillery was put into battle.

THE ARTILLERY WING OF THE CHINESE GARRISON CORPS HAS MORE THAN 3,000 PEOPLE, AND THEY ARE EQUIPPED WITH 36 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS OF THE JIUSI TYPE AND 12 105MM FIELD GUNS OF THE MEIJI 38 TYPE.

In order to be able to completely suppress the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army in Naozhai Mountain, Nobuo Kobayashi put all 48 artillery pieces into battle.

One cannon after another began to be assembled, and the artillerymen placed boxes of ammunition next to the guns.

Several artillery captains observed Naozhai Mountain through the artillery mirror, measured relevant data, and the artillerymen were ready to shoot.

Twelve tank units were also actively mobilized to the front line, and even though these tanks could not go up the hill, they still used tank guns to provide cover for the infantry.

The captain of the infantry brigade, Shao Zuo, summed up the casualties, and he hadn't seen the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on his side, but he had paid the price of hundreds of casualties.

Such a loss made the captain of the infantry brigade extremely angry, and after learning that the artillery wing and the tank squadron were in battle, the captain of the infantry brigade transferred two complete infantry squadrons and prepared to attack Naozhai Mountain.

As for the other two infantry squadrons, they immediately went to the vicinity to make ladders, without which it would be difficult for them to pass through the barrier more than two meters high.

"Shoot!" Nobuo Kobayashi waited until his captains had finished their measurements, and when he saw the artillerymen adjusting the angle of the artillery, he gave the order to shoot.

THIRTY-SIX 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS AND TWELVE 105MM FIELD GUNS ROARED AT THE SAME TIME, AND ONE SHELL AFTER ANOTHER WAS FIRED OUT QUICKLY.

In the first round of test firing, the Japanese artillery wing fired 36 rounds of explosive shells and 12 grenades, all of which were aimed at the position of the Japanese artillery predicted.

However, the Japanese did not know that the 12 guns of the artillery battalion were hidden in the anti-slope position, and it was difficult for them to hit the artillery position.

One after another, the shells flew over the top of Naozhai Mountain and landed at the foot of the mountain south of Naozhai Mountain, while the artillery positions on the slope south of Naozhai Mountain did not receive any blow.

These mountain artillery field guns were all curved fire, but it was very difficult for them to accurately hit the artillery positions on the anti-slope.

Huge explosions began to sound, and the officers and men of the artillery battalion could not help but have a mocking smile on their faces as they looked at the shells that exploded under the mountain.

The soldiers asked for help, and they wanted to have an artillery battle with the little devils.

Shi Shi, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, and the two company commanders, Li Jiaxin and Zheng Jingjing, looked at the shells that exploded under the mountain, but they showed solemn expressions.

The so-called experts will know whether there is one or not, they are all artillery officers, and they naturally know about Japanese artillery.

It can be said that they were able to judge the caliber of the Japanese artillery when they heard the sound of artillery, not to mention that they also saw the exploding shells.

"There are at least forty more guns, among which there are more than a hundred caliber guns, which should be the establishment of an artillery wing."

Li Jiaxin looked at the battalion commander Shishi, with a solemn expression on his face, and said in a serious tone.

The artillery battalion of the independent regiment is an oversized artillery battalion with twelve mountain guns and eighteen mortars.

In this way, the artillery configuration is completely the establishment of an artillery regiment in other places, which is why Sun Weiguo annihilated the Japanese army several times and captured many of them.

Looking at the entire Eighth Route Army, it is difficult to find such an artillery unit, even if it is an artillery unit directly under the headquarters, there are only a few mountain guns.

Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even if it is Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, the artillery of a regiment is only a few mortars at most.

The Japanese army dispatched an artillery wing, and even an artillery division of the Jinsui Army may not be able to deal with it.

Even if it is an independent regiment with some family backgrounds, there is still a clear gap in the face of an artillery wing of the Japanese army.

"Let's take advantage of the location and let the observers ...... Forget it, I'll go and observe it myself, and you guys will listen to my orders to shoot. ”

Shi frowned and pondered slightly, he directly asked the battalion headquarters personnel to take the artillery mirror, and they walked towards the top of the mountain.

The Japanese shells continued to fire, and the forty-eight guns fired hundreds of shells before they stopped firing.

At this time, the Japanese troops also completed the manufacture of ladders, and nearly 400 devil soldiers from two infantry squadrons looked at the Naozhai Mountain position with blazing eyes.

When the artillery began to extend, the Japanese commander of the Shaozo Brigade drew his saber, and he shouted loudly: "Kill and give." ”

Hearing the order of their captain, the devil soldiers quickly rushed towards Naozhai Mountain.

When they came to the fortress, they quickly set up the ladder, and the devil soldiers began to climb up the mountain along the ladder.

The second company and six platoons remained above the position, and the other two platoons took refuge in the anticline position.

The anticline position had not only a position for artillery, but also a place for the infantry to take refuge.

The Japanese artillery couldn't hit here, and when the Japanese artillery began to extend and the devil soldiers charged, the soldiers quickly ran back to their positions.

The three platoons of the second company have all been deployed on the positions on the top of the hill, of which the position of the sixth platoon is the most prominent, and the sixth platoon and the two platoons behind form a character arrangement.

Seeing a ghost soldier start to climb the ladder and cross the barrier, Wang Tieniu, the leader of the sixth platoon, set up the Czech light machine gun.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The sound of regular machine-gun fire sounded, and a ghost soldier who had just crossed the barrier was directly hit by two light machine gun bullets, and his body fell directly to the ground.

Another ghost soldier hurried over the ramparts along the ladder, and was about to attack the top of the hill, when another bullet hit him accurately in the forehead.

The six platoons were about five hundred meters from the ramparts, and they fired condescendingly.

One by one, the devil soldiers crossed the ramparts along the ladder, but they became the target of light machine gun shooters, good riflemen.

Often, a rifleman locks onto the end of a ladder and hits a Devil Soldier as long as he shoots with his head exposed, killing a Devil Soldier, and a Devil Soldier will appear from there.

Ten minutes later, more than 60 people were killed by the devil soldiers, and when the Japanese captain saw this scene, he had an angry expression on his face.

But when he saw the twelve tanks, the Japanese captain had a flash of inspiration, and he immediately consulted with the captain of the tank squadron.

In a short time, twelve Japanese tanks began to move.
