The first battalion launched all firepower to intercept, fearing that the Moon Army troops would quickly break through the position.

But as the positions of their light and heavy machine guns were exposed, the Moon Army launched a frantic counterattack.

Eight mountain guns, eight field guns, thirty-six mortars, and twenty-seven grenades.

Countless artillery shells fell on the first battalion's position one after another. With the sound of explosions, the first battalion's position was filled with smoke and dust.

Forty-two heavy machine guns and twenty-seven light machine guns continued to fire in bursts.

7.7MM and 6.5MM bullets form a dense firepower network, covering a battalion position instantly.

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion were unable to move at this time. If they wanted to be exposed, they would be shot.

Of course, even if they take shelter in the trenches, continued shelling will still cause casualties to them.

There were four infantry companies in one battalion and one machine gun company with more than forty light and heavy machine guns. At this time, more than ten of them had been destroyed.

Qian Bojun hid in the bunker, his face turned red, and he was stunned for a while.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the Moon Army would organize such a large number of heavy weapons for cover.

A large number of Lunar infantrymen advanced rapidly. In groups of four, they leapt forward alternately and continued to approach the position.

The first battalion's position was completely suppressed and it was impossible to launch firepower to intercept.

Wu Ziqiang, the commander of the second battalion on the east and west sides, and Zhang Furun, the commander of the third battalion on the east and west sides, saw that scene. They immediately organized firepower and launched side fire to assist the first battalion in the defense.

But as the 23rd Battalion exposed its firepower, the Moon Army mortar positions immediately launched shelling.

Type 97 90MM mortars fired grenades one after another.

As the positions on both sides of the 1st Battalion were also shelled, the Yue puppet troops took the opportunity to accelerate their advance, hoping to take this opportunity to break through the 358th Regiment's defensive position!

At the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, a fierce battle started on the front line, and Chu Yunfei observed through the telescope.

When he saw the Yue Army launching fierce fire suppression, Chu Yunfei, who was well-informed, couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Dozens of artillery pieces, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, this was the first time Chu Yunfei encountered such a large number of heavy weapons!

Seeing that the frontal defense position was being suppressed and the Yue puppet army advanced rapidly, his face showed a solemn expression.

"Do you really think highly of us, the 358th Regiment, to make such a big fuss?"

"Their firepower advantage can be used at close range, but Qian Bojun wants to intercept the Moon Army from a long distance, so he just plays the piano randomly!"

"Please tell me what Qian Bojun has. Can he compare with Ziyun? There is not much difference."

"It's because Ziyun's qualifications are still relatively low, otherwise he could have unified command of the five battalions on the front line to carry out operations."

Chu Yunfei watched the battalions fighting passively, and he couldn't help but said with emotion.

Thinking of Chen Ziyun's military exploits, Chu Yunfei firmly believed that if Chen Ziyun could take command, the situation would not be so passive.

"Regiment leader, the Moon Army has bad intentions this time. It seems they are determined to completely annihilate our 358th Regiment."

"The first battalion's position is very important. If it is not breached, their overall defense will be disrupted."

"Now please contact the artillery battalion immediately and ask them to provide fire support immediately..."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong walked over quickly, looked at Chu Yunfei and asked.

"No, Ziyun doesn't need them to give instructions. He has his own sense of proportion."

"Where are the camps? Brother Li, I will send messengers there right away."

"Convey the order from the regiment headquarters. Each battalion must give full play to its own weapon advantages and cannot accidentally fire from a long distance."

"When the enemy approaches the defensive position, each battalion can focus on light machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles to launch a counterattack."

Chu Yunfei thought for a moment and said with a serious expression on his face.

He did not give orders to the Artillery Battalion Dongda because he believed in Chen Ziyun's ability to command.

As for the artillery battalion position, Chen Ziyun had already begun to deliver combat orders.

The Sun Xiong Artillery Battery with six Shanshan Mountain Cannons and the Li Yang Artillery Battery with six Bofors Mountain Cannons began to go off.

The artillery observation post transmitted various shooting data, and each mountain gun was adjusted.

After completing the mission of rescuing Wei Dayong, the system gave the Yangcun area artillery location grid.

So now the artillerymen need to work on the map to carry out precise artillery strikes.

Not long after, the Second Artillery Company began test firing.

As for the first artillery company, since they have detailed firing parameter tables, they have already launched a blocking artillery attack.

The six Jin orogenic artillery pieces missed the charging Yue and Puppet Army infantry and shelled them one after another to prevent them from getting close to the position.

Soon, the six Bofors Mountain Cannons of the Second Artillery Battery also began to attack the mortar positions and machine gun positions of the Moon Army.

Twelve mountain artillery pieces were all fired under Chen Ziyun's personal command.

Grenades were fired one after another, and explosions were heard one after another in the Yue puppet army.

In particular, the Moon Army's mortar positions and heavy machine gun positions were directly hit by the Second Artillery Battery.

After a short period of time, grenades landed one after another.

As the explosion sounded, the Lunar Army's mortars and heavy machine guns could no longer fire.

They began to hide and avoid shelling.

Of course, the Lunar Army built a position there, and the 75MM mountain artillery fired in a straight direction, so it was difficult to bring them a devastating blow.

However, if the artillery battalion suppressed their heavy weapons and blocked their infantry advance, it could not effectively coordinate the operations of the defensive forces.

The first battalion and other troops lost their suppression and immediately launched a counterattack.

The light and heavy machine guns in the position opened fire one after another, hitting the puppet troops one after another.

"Chen Tuanfu is truly worthy of being called the God of Artillery. The cannonballs hit him as if he had eyes."

"Did you see that the Japs' heavy weapons were suppressed by the artillery battalion? Is Chen Tuanfu powerful?"

"Brothers, the artillery has begun to fully support our battle, give him a hard hit!"

The position was in place, and the officers continued to boost morale.

The soldiers opened fire and fired bullets at the Yue puppet troops one after another.

The battle lasted until eleven o'clock, and the three infantry battalions effectively cooperated with Dong in the artillery battalion, successfully repelling the first round of attacks by the Yue puppet army!

In the defensive battle in Bu Nao, the total casualties of the first and third battalions exceeded 200, and a certain number of light and heavy machine guns were destroyed.

The Japanese puppet troops also lost more than 200 people, but their weapons did not suffer too much loss.

Katayama Shoutaro, the major general commander of the independent mixed fourth brigade who was commanding the operation, had a cold face at this time. He called several majors and captains to his side.

At the same time, Lieutenant Commander Moriki Tsuneichi of the artillery team also received the order and came immediately.

"Before six o'clock in the morning, we must try to break through their position."

"Mr. Morimu, their artillery is very powerful and can effectively repel their attacking troops."

"So even if we can't completely eliminate them, we still need to suppress them and not let them carry out effective bombardment!"

"If it hadn't been for that artillery unit, they would have had lunch at their position!"

Looking at the officers in front of him, Katayama Shoutaro gritted his teeth and said.

Indeed, without the help of Chen Ziyun's Artillery Battalion, the First Battalion of Zhai Maidi would probably have been breached.
