"Commander, the day * himself is here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info entire three divisions, more than 55,000 people. Each of the three main infantry regiments we deployed on the front line has to fight against one of their divisions! The pressure is really not ordinary. Xu Feipeng, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, smiled wryly.

He knew that this battle was definitely a very difficult battle for the 4th Infantry Division. No, they're going to lose a lot. However, in order to win this decisive battle, they must be like a nail, nailed here. Otherwise, once they were defeated and the Japanese captured Morey, they were lost.

"Well, the test for us has come. Whether or not we can withstand the attack of the Japanese army is a matter of life and death for us. We must win this battle. Heavy artillery brigades and armored brigades will fully support you. Ri* himself wants to take down Xidang, but it is not so easy. Although Qin Shou also felt a huge pressure. However, he was still confident that they would win.

"Yes, Captain." Xu Feipeng nodded.

Less than five kilometers away from the defense line of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki, commander of the Japanese Burma Front, was using a telescope to observe the defense line of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

The defensive line was built by the officers and soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in two days. The entire line of defense consisted of trenches, ring fortifications, machine-gun fire points, artillery positions, and laid mines. Due to the lack of materials such as reinforced concrete, the defense line was civil structured. However, the Japanese army lacked large-caliber heavy artillery. Therefore, these fortifications should not have much problem withstanding the Japanese shelling.

Due to the lack of resources and the constraints of transportation throughout East and Southeast Asia, the Japanese army rarely used cannons with a caliber of more than 100 mm in warfare. Their most commonly used cannon is the 75 mm Mountain Run. Cannons of this caliber, although not very powerful. But it is light and easy to march. At the same time, they faced the Chinese * army, which itself lacked artillery. A 75 mm mountain run is more than enough to deal with.

"The people of China seem to be ready. But, gentlemen, we have no choice. There is only one way left for us, and that is to launch an attack, tear through the defense of the men in one fell swoop, and defeat them! Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said to the commanders of the three divisions.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The commanders of the three divisions all nodded their heads.

"Get all the artillery ready. Of course, the artillery of the Chinese people was very strong. However, our artillery will not necessarily be much weaker than them. After completing the artillery support, the infantry immediately launched an attack, tearing down the man's defense line in one fell swoop. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki ordered.

"Hey!"

Just after 10 a.m., the Japanese offensive began. The artillery wings of the three divisions, a total of 108 guns, began to rain shells on the positions of the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

As soon as the sound of artillery was remembered, the officers and men of the anti-Japanese National Salvation soldiers on the position went into the anti-artillery holes. Anti-artillery holes reinforced with logs, which withstand the shelling of 75-mm cannons, are not much of a problem. On the position, only a small number of observers remained.

"The artillery regiment fires! Suppression of the artillery of the Japanese. Xu Feipeng ordered.

Subsequently, 36 105-mm howitzers and 12 155-mm howitzers of the artillery regiment began shelling. Taking advantage of the firing range and power of large-caliber howitzers, the Japanese artillery began to be suppressed.

That's not all, the heavy artillery brigade also launched an attack under Qin Shou's instructions.

The artillery brigade has six artillery battalions, each of which is armed with 12 155-mm heavy howitzers, for a total of 72 guns.

Although, the roads in Myanmar are so bad that it is very difficult for these heavy artillery to move in. However, once deployed on the position, these heavy guns can exert extremely powerful power.

"Fire!" Yu Fei, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, gave an order. 72 155mm heavy howitzers joined the shelling of the Japanese army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Orange-red flames shone in the muzzles, and heavy shells whistled and smashed towards the Japanese artillery positions.

The shells rained down on the Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese artillery position, which had just been shelled for only two rounds, was already shrouded in flames and gunsmoke.

"Boom!" A 155-mm howitzer shell exploded on a Japanese artillery position.

Tremendous power swept in all directions. The Japanese soldiers were easily swept into the sky like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

Even the artillery of the Japanese army was staggered in the shock wave, and even many of the cannons were directly blown up.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki and the commanders of the three divisions of the Japanese army were already stunned at this moment. They were not very far from the artillery positions, and watched as the dense shells fell on the Japanese artillery positions, and then watched as the artillery was destroyed and the artillery was killed. Their artillery positions were gradually flattened in the explosion.

"Yaga! How so? Isn't it said that an infantry division of the Chinese people has only more than a hundred cannons? Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki muttered. Based on his experience, he could naturally tell how many artillery pieces had been used by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to carry out artillery bombardment. Moreover, the vast majority of them were heavy guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm. Among them, heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 150 mm is the most numerous.

"How many heavy cannons are there in the Chi Na people!" The commanders of the other three infantry divisions also looked not very good-looking. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has so many heavy artillery, can they really defeat them easily this time?

Major General Isomura Takeliang was also pale in the face.

"Damn the Chinese people, they relied on the support of the Americans and used so many artillery. Could it be that they think that with these cannons, they will be able to defeat us? Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki roared angrily.

However, no one answered him. Obviously, the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses under the heavy shelling of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

The artillery wings of three divisions of the Japanese army struggled under heavy artillery fire. Their artillery was blown up, and the artillery was killed. This has made their losses extremely heavy.

Now, the Japanese artillery could no longer care about shelling the positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and they scattered and fled, trying to save their lives, as if they were headless flies.

In less than 20 minutes, the Japanese artillery position was plowed by the heavy artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. More than a hundred cannons, with losses of more than seventy percent. The artillery killed and wounded more than two thousand people. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki, who is ambitious to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and take down Morey. (To be continued.) )
