Chapter 109 The brigade leader is furious (please order first)

 Chapter 109 The brigade leader was furious (please order first)

The Li Yang Artillery Battalion's six Bofors Mountain Cannons started firing, and grenades were fired one after another towards the Moon Army Artillery Team's position.

At this time, Moriki Tsuneichi's artillery team had received an order from the brigade headquarters, and the eight mountain cannons and eight field cannons immediately adjusted their firing angles.

The sixteen artillery pieces were prepared to launch a fierce bombardment at the forward starting position, thereby launching an attack against the Shanxi-Sui Army troops.

Even though the little devils knew that there were Imperial Army troops at the starting position, they didn't care at all about the life and death of the puppet troops at this time.

They wanted to inflict casualties on the Jinsui Army troops through artillery bombardment, and then the Moon Army infantry would quickly attack them and completely annihilate them.

Just as the artillery team was preparing for a bombardment, grenades fell nearby.

As the explosion sounded, countless shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.

The scorching air waves brought up countless dust, and the invisible shock wave destroyed everything.

Several little Japanese artillerymen were hit and fell in a pool of blood on the spot.

A grenade accurately landed near a Type 38 field gun, and the Type 38 field gun was destroyed on the spot.

Broken arms and limbs slowly fell from the sky, and bright red blood sprayed on the overturned field cannon.

The Second Artillery Battery continued the artillery bombardment, and artillery shells fell one after another on the Moon Army's artillery position.

With the explosions one after another, the entire artillery position was in chaos.

During the red sky, the Moon Army artillerymen immediately launched suppressive artillery fire after locking the approximate location of the artillery battalion.

However, they did not shoot Zhu Yuan accurately, so they did not pose much threat to the artillery battalion, so the artillery battalion was forced to move its position.

However, the Yue army artillery units underestimated the strength of Chen Ziyun's artillery battalion. For a whole day, the Yue army artillery units remained in place.

Could Chen Ziyun have a two-pronged attack on the east side? On the one hand, let the observation team conduct the observation, and on the other hand, let the cavalry company conduct the search.

They had mastered relatively accurate shooting, so Li Yang commanded six Bofors Mountain Cannons to continue bombarding, and the results soon came.

One field gun and two mountain guns were destroyed, and dozens of artillerymen suffered casualties.

When Lieutenant Colonel Tsuneko Moriki saw that scene, he couldn't help but stand there in shock, his face full of disbelief.

"Bagayalu, how did they get such accurate shooting at Zhu Yuan? Their artillery would not be so capable of locking their artillery position!"

"Damn it, where did the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army come from? How could they be so powerful?"

"Move the artillery quickly and never make the artillery pay losses again!"

"Contact the artillery observation post and find their artillery location!"

"The long-range artillery positions are ready for artillery strikes. That time they must completely destroy their artillery positions!"

Moriki Tsuneichi reacted quickly and roared loudly.

The artillery of the Moon Army began to decommission, and six mountain artillery pieces and seven field artillery pieces began to be transferred.

Compared with Chen Ziyun's artillery battalion, the Moon Army's artillery force was more fully organized.

Strong mules and horses began to drag the artillery for transfer, and a large number of artillerymen also began to transport artillery shells away.

Of course, during their transfer, the firing of the six Bofors Mountain Cannons would certainly cause them some casualties!

The artillery team was temporarily unable to carry out shelling. At this time, at the forward departure position, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army was completely defeated.

More than a hundred troops commanded by Chen Ziyun and others all came to the trenches.

They annihilated more than 300 puppet troops, captured more than 200 people, and left more than 1,000 people in the East fleeing in panic.

Some puppet troops even abandoned heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars when they fled.

"Captain Gedong, what's bad, the artillery position was attacked by the artillery of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and we are temporarily unable to provide support to them."

"The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was completely defeated by the Jinsui Army. The current starting position has been captured by the Jinsui Army."

"According to reports from the defeated Imperial Army, the attacking Jinsui Army was well-equipped with weapons and equipment, and they were all equipped with automatic weapons!"

At this time, the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade was very close to the starting position, so they quickly received the order to counterattack.

Captain Major commanded more than 400 Japs to advance towards the position, but soon a second lieutenant of the Yue Army came over to report.

Hong Tianfu of the 11th Independent Infantry Battalion attacked the main force. Its 800-man unit suffered more than 300 casualties, so there were not many combatants left.

Originally, the Lunar Army Brigade Headquarters hoped to completely disrupt the Shanxi-Sui Army's attack deployment through violent shelling.

The more than 400 Yuan troops took advantage of the chaos to rush over, and then used the red blade battle to eliminate the Jinsui army.

Now that it has lost artillery support, it is obviously difficult for the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade to continue the attack.

When the Major Captain heard the report, he raised his telescope to observe, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"We must not allow them to stabilize their position, otherwise they will use the starting position as a base and continue to advance in depth towards them, with disastrous consequences."

"There are more than a hundred of them, and they are all equipped with automatic weapons. So we hope they can quickly enter the trenches and start a red-blade battle."

"The Jinsui Army is not good at red-blade warfare. They can annihilate them by surprise, and now they have an advantage in terms of strength."

"Order, each squadron's grenade detachment fires smoke grenades to cover their shooting sight!"

"The light machine guns were quickly set up and the covering troops advanced quickly!"

"With the help of smoke cover, the rifle legs advanced to the trench to throw leg mines, and then immediately started a red blade battle."

"Warriors of the empire, kill them all!"

The Major Captain drew out his saber, waved it directly, and said with a serious expression on his face.

The little Japanese troops immediately took action, quickly setting up grenade launchers and light machine guns.

The Independent Infantry Brigade of the Lunar Army has three infantry squadrons and one machine gun squadron.

Each squadron has a full complement of nine light machine guns and nine grenade launchers.

Of course, the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade was hit and is definitely not at full strength.

However, they have about twenty light machine guns and more than a dozen grenade launchers.

Smoke grenades began to be fired one after another, and red smoke instantly enveloped the starting position.

Using the cover of smoke, more than two hundred little devils quickly advanced towards the forward position with rifles in hand.

Inside the trench, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and the soldiers could not clearly see the movements of the Lunar Army due to the red smoke.

Chen Ziyun's brain was working rapidly, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.

Soon, he began to issue combat orders.

The soldiers who entered the trench quickly retreated and abandoned the trench.

They exited the trenches and scattered and hid thirty or forty meters away from the trenches.

At the same time, the soldiers prepared their leg grenades directly, waiting for the order to throw them.

Not long after, the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade took action again.

They gathered their grenades and began to carry out intensive artillery fire at the starting position, and grenades were fired towards the starting position one after another.

The explosion sounded, and the starting position was filled with smoke and dust, but the soldiers had already evacuated without any harm.

When the grenade shells stopped firing, more than two hundred Japs crossed the smoke area with their rifle legs.

They threw leg mines into the trenches one after another. As the explosions sounded, the little devils quickly jumped into the trenches.

Of course, the little devils would not notice anything in the trenches.

"Throw leg grenades!" Chen Ziyun gave the order decisively.

More than a hundred soldiers threw prepared leg grenades into the trenches. Then they held submachine guns and shot down a carbine.

The little Japs in the trenches had been hit by leg grenades first, and many of them howled in pain.

By the time they reacted, a large number of officers and soldiers had already appeared in front of them.

One by one, Jin-made submachine guns and Jin-made shell guns started shooting.

The officers and soldiers stood in front of the trench, shooting from a high position in the east, and every little Japanese was instantly beaten into a sieve of flesh!

The two infantry platoons, a machine gun platoon, and twenty Jin-made light machine guns that were covering behind quickly penetrated the flanks.

Those troops attacked directly from the flanks, hitting the little Japs behind with light and heavy machine gun grenade launchers.

Fierce gunfire continued, and the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade was completely caught off guard.

At about 12:15 midnight, the major captain led the remaining troops to evacuate in embarrassment.

At this time, they had more than 400 troops. After the attack, their number of soldiers was less than 100.

The puppet army's forward departure position was completely taken over by the guard company.

So far, they have killed and wounded more than 700 puppet troops, and captured more than 200 puppet troops!

According to the situation on the battlefield, Chen Ziyun immediately called the messengers and began to convey combat orders one after another.

The guard company added light machine guns and submachine guns drawn from each battalion and advanced directly along the left side.

The Zhangwu Cavalry Company advanced from the right side. The two troops advanced in a balanced manner and gave way to the center.

The two artillery companies stopped shelling, moved at the same time, quickly re-established artillery positions, and waited for subsequent combat orders.

The artillery battalion's counterattack did not end with this!

At that time, heading towards Wanjia Town from the battlefield, Fujita's battalion had already begun fighting with the new regiment.

Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao's 1st Battalion, the regiment was directly under the machine gun company, and the artillery platoon ambushed Fujita's battalion.

The troops from both sides fought fiercely, and it was difficult to determine the outcome for a while.

At this time, the two armies were about the same strength, but in terms of weapons and equipment, Fujita's battalion clearly had the advantage.

They have eight heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, more than 20 light machine guns, and more than 20 grenade launchers.

Li Yunlong's new regiment has one infantry gun, six heavy machine guns, nine light machine guns, and four grenade launchers.

Fortunately, the new group occupies the terrain advantage, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, so they can easily cope with mistakes.

When the Yue Army's independent fourth brigade was formed, Major General Katayama Shoutaro, the commander of the brigade, had a face full of anger.

He stood in front of the map with a gloomy expression, his legs clenching into fists.

After learning that only a few dozen of the 800-man unit of the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade had been beaten, Katayama Shoutaro was furious!

"Attack, launch an attack with all your strength, and completely tear apart the Jinsui Army's attacking troops!"

He banged the map angrily and roared loudly.

Big guys, let’s fight. I bow and thank you all for your subscription support.
