When Major General Mizuno Nobu was complacent, another volley of shells came at him on the opposite side.

However, this time, the Chinese artillery seemed to have eyes, and all the shells went straight to the 12 heavy machine gun positions on the Japanese army's position, and a huge explosion suddenly rose into the air, and several heavy machine guns, along with the shooter and the deputy shooter and ammunition man, were all lifted into the air, and Major General Mizuno's laughter suddenly stopped.

"No, it can't be! It's impossible! Major General Mizuno Shin was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily, "How can the artillery of the Shina people be so accurate? ”

Before the words fell, another row of shells whistled from the opposite side.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Huge clouds of smoke and dust rose again from the army's position.

In the smoke of gunpowder, several more heavy machine guns were overturned to the ground, and several devil shooters guarding behind the heavy machine guns were even lifted into the air by the air wave generated by the explosion, and when they landed again, they were already dead and could no longer die.

"Quick, quick, drip!" Major General Shin Mizuno became more and more angry and ruined, "Order the artillery bombardment and counter the Shina artillery!" ”

Katamura Shaoza put down the binoculars and said dejectedly: "General, after the Shina artillery hides on the side of the mountaintop, our infantry artillery can't threaten them at all." ”

"Yaga." Mizuno Nobu was furious and said, "Immediately telegraph to the front army headquarters and request aviation support!" ”

Katamura Shaozo looked more and more miserable, and said: "General, the main force of the aviation regiment directly under the Front Army is fighting on the front line in Wuhan, and there are only two fighter squadrons left in North China, they have just come, and now they are on their way back, and it will take at least two hours to come to Lunan again." ”

"Yagayalu." Mizuno Shin said violently, "Order, the machine gun squadron immediately withdraw to the headquarters!" ”

However, it was too late, and before Mizuno Nobu gave the order, the shells of the Chinese artillery had already fallen on the Japanese army position one after another, and after two rounds of ten rapid fire, all the 12 heavy machine gun fire points on the Japanese army position were ploughed into flat ground, and many foxholes and communication trenches were also blown to pieces.

After taking out the heavy machine-gun positions of the Japanese army, the shelling of the Chinese artillery did not end.

In the piercing scream, rows of artillery shells flew through the sky, and continued to fall viciously towards the position of the army, and in an instant, the field fortifications of the army were blown to pieces, after all, this is only a temporary field fortification, not a permanent fortification specially built by the engineers, of course, it cannot resist the bombardment of 81mm mortars.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the 1st Infantry Brigade is, after all, an old elite transferred from the 1st Division.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Chinese artillery, the devil soldiers of the 1st Infantry Brigade appeared very calm, they lay quietly in the trenches, allowing the scorching shrapnel and sharp gravel to whizz and splash above their heads, even if the comrades around them were hit by fragments or the whole person was blown into several pieces, the rest of the devil soldiers still had an indifferent expression.

However, the surrender of the Eighth Route Army and the Bayonet Battalion was shocked by the scene in front of them.

…………

Eighth Route Army position.

Seeing that the position of the Yue army was bombed all over the place, Lu Han suddenly said excitedly: "Regiment commander, it's so enjoyable!" ”

The telescope in Peng Mingzhi's hand was never put down, and the tone of his voice was a little out of tune because of excitement, and he said to Lu Han: "Damn, Lu Han, you listen to Lao Tzu, one day Lao Tzu will also come out of the entire artillery battalion, and he will blow up the little devil so that he can't find his back, it's enjoyable, it's so fucking enjoyable." ”

"I didn't say it, this time Iluhan is really convinced." Lu Han said, "Baoshan Brigade is really good!" ”

"Well, the Baoshan Brigade is really good, these artillery pieces are really good." Peng Mingzhi also thought deeply and said, "It's a pity, such a good army is not our party's army, and when we finish fighting the little devils in the future, we will have to fight with [***] sooner or later, and it will not be a good thing to face an opponent like the Baoshan Brigade on the battlefield at that time." ”

"Ugh." Lu Han suddenly sighed and said, "Chinese beating Chinese is really tasteless." ”

"Okay, this matter is still far away, you will not be worried." Peng Mingzhi said this, and said, "I heard that Secretary Yang of the prefectural party committee is thinking of contacting Yue Weihan, if we can really win over this army, it will be a big help for our Eighth Route Army, at least the little devils in Lunan have to clamp their tails." ”

"Commander, are you telling the truth?" Lu Han suddenly became excited when he heard this.

"How can this be fake?" Peng Mingzhi said again, "But you kid don't talk nonsense with a big mouth." ”

"Don't worry, Commander." Lu Han hurriedly said, "What should be said and what should not be said, I Lu Han's heart is like a mirror." ”

"That's good." Peng Mingzhi nodded, and shifted his attention to the opposite position of the Yue army, the shelling of [***] continued, looking through the telescope, the two mountains occupied by the Yue army have been completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flying dust, and the trees and weeds on the top of the mountain are all burning, and the billowing smoke is straight into the sky, and the scene is extremely shocking.

…………

The shelling lasted for 40 minutes, and hundreds of smoke bombs were fired at the positions of the Japanese army.

The previous forty minutes of shelling was actually just foreplay, and in the end, these hundreds of smoke grenades were the big killer!

Suddenly, the entire position of the army was completely shrouded in billowing smoke, and because the 1st Infantry Brigade was in a hurry to leave the city, Mizuno Shin did not expect his army to be attacked by smoke bombs from the Chinese artillery, so the gas masks were not issued to individual soldiers, and now, the little devil was really in big trouble.

In the mountain command, Major General Mizuno's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

Katamura Shaoza said with a miserable expression: "Smoke bomb, it turned out to be a smoke bomb......"

Before the words fell, the billowing smoke rolled into the command center, Katamura Shaosa and several combat staff officers in the command headquarters immediately covered their mouths and noses and coughed violently, Mizuno Shin, the old devil, reacted quite quickly, quickly held his breath, and turned the kettle to wet the towel as fast as possible, and covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel.

Major General Mizuno Shin still has a wet towel to cover his mouth and nose, and other devil soldiers will not be.

Because the vast majority of the devil soldiers have already drunk the drinking water in the military kettle, now let alone water, even the urine can't be spilled a drop, there is no wet towel to cover the face, just cover the mouth and nose with your hands is absolutely unable to resist the invasion of poisonous smoke, all of a sudden, the soldiers on the position coughed violently, one by one coughed straight tears, and many of the devil soldiers with a slightly worse physique coughed and held their breath directly.

Seeing that the Yue army on the mountain had been almost smoked, [***] finally began to attack.

Under the cover of thick smoke, the Bayonet Battalion and the Special Operations Brigade touched the positions of the Japanese army from the north and south respectively.

The officers and men of the bayonet battalion and the special operations brigade also did not have gas masks, but they were guarding the foot of the mountain, and the stream at the bottom of the ditch had clear and clean fresh water, so they could get wet towels to apply to their faces, and they were much less affected by the smoke, after all, they were just ordinary smoke bombs, not mustard gas bombs, so there was no need to worry about poisoning.

There was no suspense in the next battle, and the remnants of the four or five hundred devils who survived the shelling had already been blackened by the thick smoke, and they could not organize a decent resistance, and in addition, the special operations brigade eliminated the command headquarters of the army as soon as it made a move, and the army on the mountain lost its command, and in less than half an hour, the smoke on the top of the mountain dissipated, and the battle was over.

More than 1,500 troops of the bayonet battalion also participated in the offensive this time.

When the smoke cleared, seeing the corpses of devils lying all over the ground and the weapons thrown everywhere, the soldiers of the surrendered army were completely dumbfounded, before this battle, even the most crazy surrendered soldiers never thought that [***] so easily solved the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 10th Brigade of the Reading Force, this is the field elite transferred from the 1st Division!

However, the hard facts are in front of them, and the soldiers who can't help but surrender don't believe that [***] has indeed completely annihilated the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 10th Brigade Regiment, and moreover, they also participated in this annihilation battle, and at least half of the devils died in their hands, which is so unreal, it's like a dream.

One of the soldiers who had surrendered was the first to recover from the shock, and suddenly raised his gun and cheered: "Win, we win!" ”

Suddenly, all the surrendering troops cheered one after another, raising the rifles in their hands high while cheering, and a few impulsive guys even threw their guns into the sky to celebrate, but the veterans were quite disdainful of this, and they were excited to fight such a small victory, as for it?

Five hundred meters away, Yue Weihan retracted his gaze from the opposite hill and said to Liu Yi: "Chief of Staff, do you see it?" ”

"See." Liu Yi nodded, and muttered, "It's still the brigade that is smart, after this battle, this rabble of the bayonet battalion not only has a great increase in confidence, but also has no fear of the Yue army from now on, and the sense of identity with our Baoshan brigade will be even stronger. ”

Yue Weihan smiled silently, the harvest of this battle is more than that!

The biggest gain of this campaign is that from now on, when the Lunan army wants to go out for activities on a scale below the brigade level, it will have to weigh it carefully, and if it goes out on the scale of a wing or brigade, how many wings and brigades does the Lunan army have? There is no doubt that after this battle, the living space of the Chinese armed forces in the Lunan area will be greatly expanded.

And this is Yue Weihan's true intention, to fight enough living space in the first battle!

In the valley, Lu Han looked at the opposite mountain in disbelief, and said in a daze: "This is the end?" ”

"It's over!" Peng Mingzhi nodded heavily, and said inexplicably, "Well done, so beautiful!" ”

Speaking of this, Peng Mingzhi said with emotion: "Lu Han, I'm afraid our words will be much better in the future, I'm afraid the little devils in Lunan will no longer dare to unscrupulously come to disturb our base area, at least the little devils below the scale of the brigade will not dare to go out easily, as for the little devils above the scale of the brigade, let's let [***] have a headache, hehe." ”
