Xiao Song, a reporter accompanying the army, looked at the artillery fortifications that had been quickly constructed, and his mood became nervous for no reason.

He hurriedly adjusted the camera in his hand, ready to shoot the shocking scene of the bombardment of the Japanese puppet army.

South of Taihang.

The battle at the bottom of the cliff intensified.

Company Commander Huang led the soldiers of the two companies of the 2nd Independent Regiment, plus local comrades and militia comrades, totaling more than 3,000 troops.

Fought valiantly against the rapidly growing Japanese puppet army.

As time passed, the Japanese puppet army units that rushed in from the southwest, plus two brigades of the Japanese 47th Division that rushed from the north.

There are more and more Japanese puppet army troops gathered at the bottom of the cliff.

Originally, there were only more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops, and the two sides exchanged fire.

Immediately afterwards, with the arrival of follow-up reinforcements from the Japanese puppet army, I saw that the number of troops was rapidly growing, more than 3,000 people, more than 4,000 people, and even more than 5,000 people.

The pressure on Commander Huang and Captain Zhao gradually increased.

Due to the backdrop of the cliff and the lack of depth, although the heavy artillery in the hands of the devil has not yet arrived, even the bombardment of the grenadier is not easy to deal with.

Company Commander Huang and his entourage also suffered a lot of casualties.

But all the soldiers, whether they were cadres or ordinary soldiers, even if they were a militia comrade, gritted their teeth one by one, and just tried to resist the attack of the Japanese puppet army.

No one even asked:

When will the reinforcements that Commander Kong said will arrive?

The two sides had already entered a white-hot fire exchange, and the soldiers at the forward observation post then sent a message, "Company commander, the situation is not good, the devil's follow-up infantry artillery is keeping up!" It's less than a kilometer away. ”

The Devil Type 92 infantry gun, with a caliber of 70 mm, is very powerful, which is not comparable to a small-caliber grenadier canister.

Whether it is range or power, it can completely suppress the 50 mortar in the hands of Commander Huang and his party.

This is also the situation that Commander Huang has been most worried about in the confrontation with the Japanese puppet army.

The cliff behind it is a Jedi, and it is impossible to extend the depth at all, and the natural bunker fortifications under the cliff are not sufficient, and the small-caliber grenadier fire of the devil can barely withstand it.

Once the infantry cannon behind the devil followed.

With the conventional fighting style of the little devils, he could even use artillery shells to directly plow the position of the commander of the Huang Company and his party four or five times.

At that point, the casualties of Company Commander Huang and his entourage could not be avoided at all, and whether they could hold out until the reinforcements sent by Kong Jie arrived may be a question.

"Company commander, the little devil is building an infantry artillery position, and it looks like there will be an artillery bombardment soon!"

"Company commander, you have an idea, even if we die, we should die on the way to the charge, and if we continue to be behind the fortifications, we can only be blown up alive by the little devils!"

The platoon leader couldn't help but shout, and now the time has come to die.

Company Commander Huang looked to the side, whether it was a wounded or unwounded soldier, whether it was the elite of the independent regiment, or the local comrades and militia comrades, everyone's expression was resolute.

Finally, the commander of the Huang Company, who no longer hesitated, roared: "Comrades, what the platoon commander said is right, waiting for death is not the style of our independent regiment, and our first detachment has no bad seeds, everyone listens to my orders at any time, all combatants, prepare to launch a comprehensive counter-charge against the Japanese puppet army!" ”

The roar fell, and at the bottom of the cliff, the soldiers clenched the guns in their hands one by one, full of determination, and the whole team was full of fighting spirit for a while.

…… On a dirt slope a kilometer away from the battlefield in a straight line.

The artillery position on Wang Chengzhu's side was quickly constructed.

Wang Chengzhu, who personally served as an artillery observer, used a telescope to lock on to the area where the fortifications of the Japanese puppet army gathered at the bottom of the cliff and were fighting with Commander Huang and his entourage.

But in order to ensure that in case of emergency, in order to ensure that the firepower points on the hillside can be delivered with maximum power once they break out, and give the Japanese puppet army the heaviest blow.

The pillar ordered the communicator to quickly contact the team of the commander of the Huang company through the short-wave radio station.

When the communication message passed, Company Commander Huang was about to give the order to launch a general countercharge.

The ecstatic communications soldier hurriedly shouted at the commander of the Huang company:

"Company commander, our reinforcements have arrived, and the comrades of the artillery battalion have arrived!"

At this moment, it is really a desperate shot.

Huang Lian Chang wiped the hot sweat from his head and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before the devil's shells fall down, launch a full counter-charge, which is the most helpless choice.

Once a counter-charge is launched, the fighters lose their current bunker fortifications.

The Japanese puppet army, which already had an advantage in strength, relied on fortifications and established firepower to wait for work.

Huang Lian Chang didn't even have the certainty of breaking through the three-point breakout.

Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by the regiment commander finally arrived.

"Quick, immediately convey to the comrades of the artillery battalion the situation of the enemy, especially the specific location of the infantry artillery position hidden by the devil behind the bunker!"

"Yes!"

……

The old face of the captain of the devil striker team, Shoichi Imamura, has already appeared with the joy of victory at this moment.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, who were forced to be forced at the bottom of the cliff and cut off from retreat, seemed to him like trapped beasts.

It's only a matter of time before you want to destroy these dirt roads.

Shoichi Imamura was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the arrival of the artillery squadron that would follow up with the Imperial forces.

Once the artillery arrived, the Eighth Route Army guarding at the bottom of the cliff in front of them would definitely be unable to escape.

In the previous encounter, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties before the arrival of artillery, Imamura Nao's combat order was to focus on encirclement, supplemented by attack.

In the previous waves of attacks, the Japanese puppet army's will to attack was not resolute.

Anyway, in the eyes of Imamura Shoichi, these dirt roads are like fish on a chopping board, only for him to slaughter.

The Japanese puppet army, which quickly gathered, took advantage of the steepness of the cliff to besiege the commander of the Huang Company and his entourage at the bottom of the cliff.

At this moment, the artillery unit behind the devil arrived, more than a dozen artillery pieces were lined up, and the firing Zhuyuan had all been adjusted.

As long as Imamura Shang gave an order one by one, he could end the lives of more than 3,000 elites of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment under the cliff under artillery fire.

Thinking of this, Imamura Shoichi, who was quite excited, took out his adjutant command knife, raised it high with his right hand, and just waved it down, and immediately launched a bombardment!

It was a moment to remember.

Thousands of main forces of the Independent Regiment were destroyed in a moment of conversation and laughter.

Imamura believes that this moment will be unforgettable.

"Fire—"

Such words were brewing in his throat, and they were about to burst out.

Boom Boom Boom –

First there was the sound of the cannon being ejected, followed by the sound of the shell.

In the roar, all of this was so familiar to Imamura Shoichi, it was the sound of the Imperial Type 92 infantry cannon being discharged, the sound of grenade explosions, and the movement of 75mm mountain guns.

It's just that......

Baga, he obviously hasn't waved his command knife and given the order to open the cannon.

Which of these bastards made the decision to fire?

Until the debris kicked off by the shock wave of the explosion sliced through Imamura's face at an alarming speed.

It was then that Naoichi Imamura realized that the explosion had actually occurred in the area where his side was located.

He looked up in amazement.

More than a dozen shells fired from the northwest were like raindrops carrying the aura of destruction that had been magnified countless times before they fell from the sky.

The look of horror froze on the old face, and Imamura was stunned for a moment.

"Covert—"

There was a quick response of the devil officer, and he exclaimed with a look of hell.

Boom –

The ensuing explosion, the shock wave was vented, and the smoke of gunpowder soon enveloped the entire fortification where the Japanese puppet army was located.

The shells smashed in waves as if they didn't need money, wave after wave, as if there was no end to it.

How could the devil puppet army have thought that when the troops of the Eighth Route Army at the bottom of the cliff had been besieged by them, there would be such a reversal of the situation.

For the sudden sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army's artillery power, the Japanese puppet army was even more caught off guard.

"One hundred and fifty rounds of rapid fire, fire covering the Japanese fortifications!"

On the mountain pack a kilometer away, after receiving the target data transmitted by the forward artillery scouts in the Huang Company Commander's team.

Wang Chengzhu didn't hesitate any longer, and seeing that the devil was about to use artillery, he immediately struck first and issued an order for 150 rounds to be fired urgently.

According to Wang Chengzhu's command, fifteen artillery pieces were fired in a salvo, and each artillery piece should fire about 10 shells in the fastest time, so as to complete the task of 150 rapid fire rounds in total.

Among them, the devil's Type 92 infantry gun, under the skillful operation of the artillery soldiers, can fire a cannon almost every six seconds, and can fire about 10 shells in one minute.

The 75-mm mountain guns captured from the devils had a faster rate of fire, with a theoretical rate of fire capable of firing 20 shells per minute.

Fifteen artillery pieces fired in unison, a round of fifteen shells smashed down towards the camp of the Japanese puppet army, a violent explosion sounded out, echoing in the mountains and forests, startling a piece of birds, the aftermath has not yet dissipated, a new round of fifteen shells smashed down again.

At the bottom of the cliff, looking at the Japanese puppet army that was about to use infantry artillery, they were all drowned in artillery fire.

Look at the shock of the collapse that bombed almost the entire ground.

Not only local comrades and militia comrades, but even Company Commander Huang was secretly speechless.

As you know, the artillery battalion is the first ace unit built by the regiment commander with all his might.

But no one has really seen what it was like under the attack of the all-powerful artillery battalion.

Looking at the situation of the Japanese puppet army camp screaming and wailing not far away, the soldiers of Company Commander Huang and his party couldn't help but be glad that these shells did not fall on their heads.

What followed was a deep pride in the warriors.

This is the power of the artillery battalion of the first anti-Japanese independent detachment in the northwest of Shanxi!

The news came from the signal corps' side immediately, and he shouted almost in the ear of the commander of the Huang Company: "Company commander, the news from the comrades of the artillery battalion, the only thing that can support us is these rounds of artillery, and it will be up to us next!" ”

Huang Lian Chang laughed heroically and said, "Lao Tzu is waiting for this moment. ”

"Signal soldiers, pass the order, prepare the melee weapons for clearing the trenches in advance, and the submachine guns, shotguns, shell guns, and gun grenade teams will be the vanguard commandos!"

"As soon as the artillery fire stops, all of them will launch a general attack!"
