When the smoke cleared, only a few 75-mm field guns were seen on this artillery position of the Japanese army, which was staggering from side to side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThese cannons, all of them have been destroyed. There were also many corpses of Japanese artillerymen, torn into pieces and scattered everywhere, and the scene was very bloody, like hell.

A 155mm howitzer alone is not so powerful. However, the artillery of the Japanese army, accustomed to stacking a large number of shells next to the artillery. In this way, the time spent on carrying shells can be saved, and the speed of shelling can be increased. However, the consequences of this are also very obvious, once it is shelled by the enemy, it is very likely to cause martyrdom, thus causing greater casualties to itself.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the position of the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Brigade has been destroyed." A staff officer reported to Higashihira Taro Osa.

Higashihira Taro's face suddenly became very ugly. He could clearly feel that the artillery suppression of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had begun, and in the next artillery battle, they would probably be in an even more disadvantageous situation.

"Order the artillery positions, speed up the counterattack. As soon as the suppression of the fire of the Chinese begins, we will be in an even more disadvantageous position. Higashihira Taro Osa ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The staff officer immediately went to give the order.

It's just that the gap in strength is difficult to make up for in other aspects. The artillery strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was undoubtedly far superior to that of the Japanese army. Although, the artillery of the Japanese army also caused certain casualties to the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, after the artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army launched a fire suppression, the Japanese artillery had no power to counterattack at all.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Artillery on both sides, heavy shelling. The artillery of both sides was desperately smashing shells into each other's positions.

The artillery battle was fierce, although the artillerymen did not have to go to the front line, to meet the enemy's bayonets. However, their battles are often even more fierce. Once hit by an enemy shell, there is often only one end, and that is to be crushed.

Fortunately, the artillery of the Japanese army, even if it was strengthened, was far from being an opponent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. In the fierce artillery battle, they were completely suppressed.

Constantly Japanese artillery positions were hit, artillery was destroyed, and artillery suffered heavy casualties.

Faced with the suppression of the heavy artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, the Japanese artillery, although desperately resisting. However, their resistance is very weak. In the face of the artillery suppression of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they appeared powerless.

The artillery of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had superiority in caliber and quantity. The 155-mm heavy howitzers used to suppress the Japanese army alone were not equipped by the entire Southern Army. Such troops are often only equipped with the Japanese army's independent heavy artillery brigades. But it is a pity that the Southern Army did not have a single independent heavy artillery brigade. This also made them passively able to bear after facing the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Time passed slowly, and as time passed, the advantage of the artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army became greater and greater. The 4th Wing of the Japanese Field Artillery and the 56th Wing of the Field Artillery suffered heavy losses. More than half of their artillery has been destroyed. The artillery suffered heavy casualties.

The officers and men of the 4th Field Artillery Wing were scared enough from top to bottom. The feeling of watching the shells explode not far from the side, and their comrades-in-arms being torn to pieces on the spot, is really numb and unacceptable. Many people have fallen into a situation where they are almost about to collapse.

"We can't fight with the people anymore, we can't afford to fight! Send a telegram to the division commander that we need to disperse immediately and withdraw from the battle. Otherwise, all the artillery will be destroyed, and all the artillery will die. Higashiheitaro Osa said.

The other artillery group captains and squadron leaders all nodded their heads one after another. They were also frightened by the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Lieutenant General Sekihara Roku, having learned of the heavy losses in the artillery, nevertheless agreed to withdraw them from the battle. However, this also meant that the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army had to withstand the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Give orders to the 61st Infantry Wing to be ready to support the 8th Infantry Wing at any time." Lieutenant General Sekihara also gave the order. He knew that the 8th Infantry Wing, despite heavy losses, would not be able to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all, and it had to find a way to support. Otherwise, the 8th Infantry Wing would soon collapse.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The chief of staff, Keisaburo Okutsu, immediately went to give the order.

On the positions of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the shelling continued. However, they soon discovered that the Japanese shelling soon stopped.

"Brigade commander, it seems that Ri* himself is afraid of being beaten by us and does not dare to fight us again." The commander of the artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division said with a smile.

"Well, the artillery of the Japanese * himself was not our opponent in the first place. Defeated by us, that's rightfully deserved. However, although they stopped shelling, they should not be taken lightly and need to be more careful. Ordered the artillery, turned the muzzle, and continued to shell the positions of the Japanese army, clearing the way for the attack of the infantry brothers. Major General Yu Fei ordered.

"Yes, Brigadier."

A full 84 155mm heavy howitzers joined the shelling of the positions of the 8th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which made them even more stressed. At all times, Japanese infantry were killed by the fierce artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

The artillery of the Japanese army, ready to disperse, preserve strength. It's just that their wishful thinking still hasn't succeeded. It was at this time that the anti-Japanese salvation army air force appeared on the battlefield. 48 P-51B fighters, covering 24 B-25 medium bombers, launched a heavy bombardment of the Japanese artillery that was preparing to retreat.

The magazine opened, and shells fell from the magazine like raindrops.

Soon, columns of smoke rose from the ground.

The Japanese artillerymen who were preparing to retreat could be said to have been wiped out. Withdrawn from the artillery positions, they were not at all defenseless and completely exposed.

The bombs dropped by the anti-Japanese salvation army air force destroyed many of these Japanese artillery and artillery.

After the B-25 medium bombers dropped all the bombs and flew off the battlefield, the P-51B fighters joined the attack, and the bombs hanging under the wings were dropped into the Japanese artillery, destroying the artillery and killing the artillerymen. At the same time, aviation machine guns were also strafing, tearing the Japanese artillery to pieces.
