Chapter 177 The Moon Army asks for special ammunition

"According to information from the brigade headquarters, there are only a few hundred Shanxi-Sui Army troops in Hesuo Town. Their troops have an absolute advantage."

"Now they have almost reached the front of their position, but they still haven't launched any fire counterattack."

"He saw that those poor Jinsui Army troops had probably fled Hesuo Town. They might have tried to capture an empty city."

"Warriors of the empire, speed up the advance and quickly take Donghe Town. They have already wasted too much time there."

Fukuda Ryozo, the major captain of the 13th Independent Infantry Battalion, waved his saber and shouted the order.

After Fukuda Ryozo finished his words, he was wary of the impending imps before and began to advance at full speed.

All the little devils felt that even if Hesuo Town was defended by Jinsui Army troops, they could easily break through.

Groups of infantry advanced rapidly, and weapons such as light machine guns and grenade launchers from behind also began to move toward the front.

Heavy machine guns, rapid-fire artillery, and infantry artillery were otherwise prepared for covering fire.

The four Type 94 mountain cannons that were covering the front launched a series of effective fire shots.

Twenty rounds of grenades were fired at Hesuo Town one after another.

With the sound of explosions, a large number of little Japanese infantry rushed to a position less than a hundred meters away from the position.

The little devil's rifle legs began to quickly install bayonets on the rifles. They took turns to cover and quickly pushed forward.

One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters, forty meters, many little devils began to take out leg mines.

They planned to remove the safety pin, touch the helmet with force, and throw it directly.

But at that moment, the field artillery company deployed in Hehe Town took the lead in opening fire.

Under the command of Lieutenant Company Commander Zhou Wenbo, four Liao-made 77MM field guns roared.

Steel grenades were fired quickly towards the Type 94 mountain cannon in the distance, and deafening explosions sounded one after another.

The Moon Army's four Type 94 mountain guns continued to bombard them, and their position had already been locked by Zhou Wenbo.

He hasn't fired back yet, because he doesn't want to be exposed in advance.

Is there a detailed firing parameter list for the four Liao-made field guns, and does Zhou Wenbo have a background in the observation team?

The field artillery fired shells one after another, hitting a total of twelve shells.

The artillery position of the Yuejun Mountain Artillery Squadron was in a mess, with craters everywhere on the ground.

The two mountain cannons were even staggered due to the bombing, and the barrels began to bend.

Although the two mountain cannons in the east were not hit, there were corpses of Yuan artillerymen everywhere near the mountain cannons.

Did the entire artillery position suffer heavy casualties?

The roar of the field artillery company ended, and they began to adjust the shooting angle, preparing to attack the Moon Army's rapid-fire artillery and infantry artillery.

The guard company, which was defending the position, launched fire.

The guard company has four infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon in the east. If the organization is strengthened, the total strength is about 220 people.

Each infantry platoon has three infantry squads and one grenade squad, with a strength of fifty people.

At this time, they deployed two infantry platoons of 100 people on the front line for defense, while the machine gun platoon was in the rear for support operations.

"Everything."

The two east grenade squads of the two infantry platoons fired first, and six grenade launchers struck directly at the little Japanese's exposed light machine gun.

At the same time, six infantry squads launched fire at the same time.

Six light machine guns, twenty-four submachine guns, and thirty-six rifles opened fire simultaneously.

For a moment, the dense bullets were like raindrops from a heavy rain, accurately hitting the little devil's rifle leg.

One by one, the little Japanese were attacked and fell into a pool of blood.

If you look carefully, you can see that all those little devils were shot and died on the spot.

Can the guard company be an elite unit? The officers and soldiers have already reached the elite level.

They relied on their legs to launch fire with sophisticated weapons, and the little devils had no ability to parry.

Two Type 92 heavy machine guns started firing, cooperating with the infantry in defense.

The two 81MM mortars directly carried out shelling, suppressing the heavy weapons of the Moon Army behind them.

In just a few minutes, the Japs suffered hundreds of casualties.

When the several lieutenants and squadron commanders who commanded the battle saw that scene, they were all stunned, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"On Bagaya Road, the Shanxi-Sui Army was equipped with a large number of submachine guns, machine gun squadrons, and artillery squadrons to suppress them quickly."

"They have a lot of artillery to help them fight. I'm contacting the mountain artillery squadron and asking if they are very capable of fighting."

"Quickly contact the cavalry and ask them to break through directly from the south and attack the artillery position in Hesuo Town."

"They should be assigned a field artillery company. Damn it, why are their troops and weapons and equipment so sophisticated!"

Fukuda Ryozo saw the battlefield situation through the telescope, and saw that his troops were trying to break through the position.

It turned out that the wrong side intercepted the attack with fierce fire, resulting in heavy losses to the troops.

The mountain artillery squadron supporting the rear was not even directly bombarded.

Ryozo Fukuda looked angry and made adjustments in time.

The Moon Army's heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, and two rapid-fire cannons immediately started firing.

The Type 94 rapid-fire guns equipped by the little devils, and the combat anti-tank guns called by the Shanxi-Sui Army, are actually just different names for anti-tank guns.

The 13th Independent Field Brigade was directly under the machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron opened fire immediately in an attempt to suppress the defensive firepower of the guard company.

But had four Liao-made field guns and two moon-type mortars launched counterattacks, the Japanese heavy weapons would have suffered serious losses.

Especially the field artillery battery, four Liao-made field guns were commanded by Zhou Wenbo to launch precise bombardment.

They used artillery to fire in a straight direction and accurately hit various targets with grenades.

Three Japanese heavy machine guns and an infantry gun were destroyed one after another.

Chengdong's heavy weapons quickly began to be transferred and were forced to stop firing.

As for the Little Devil Cavalry on the south side, more than two hundred cavalry advanced rapidly.

The cavalry company commanded by Bu Nao Zhangwu also launched an attack.

The Moon Army has more than two hundred cavalry, mainly equipped with Type 44 rifles, twelve light machine guns, and twelve grenade launchers.

In addition, each of their cavalrymen is equipped with a cavalry saber.

The Zhangwu Cavalry Company is mainly equipped with the same number of Czech-style rifles, Jin-made submachine guns, light machine guns and grenade launchers as the Moon Army.

But they have a machine gun platoon, equipped with two 81MM mortars and two 92 heavy machine guns. In addition, each cavalryman is equipped with a saber as standard.

The eastern machine gun platoon of the Zhangwu Cavalry Company opened fire first, and four cavalry platoons quickly charged over.

Before the battle between the cavalry units of both sides, the Little Devil Cavalry was attacked by heavy weapons and suffered casualties.

Immediately afterwards, as the distance between the cavalry on both sides narrowed.

About two hundred meters away, each squad's four Jin-made submachine guns trailed behind, and they started firing.

A dense barrage of bullets hit the little Japanese cavalry, and many cavalrymen instantly fell from their horses and flew eastward.

Soon, the cavalry from both sides collided.

The saber and the saber collided, and harsh sounds sounded one after another.

Corpses began to appear on the ground, and the injured horses let out painful wails.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, the more than 200 cavalrymen of the Lunar Army cavalry suffered dozens of casualties, leaving only 150 Dong Dong.

There were also more than ten casualties in Zhangwu's cavalry company, but they had absolutely no control over the situation.

Every time before the cavalry from both sides engages in a close-range red-blade battle, the little devil cavalry will be attacked by heavy machine guns, mortars, and submachine guns.

Naturally, their casualties would be huge. The Yue Army cavalry major who was commanding the battle had a gloomy look on his face when he saw that scene.

"Bagaya Road, the cavalry of the Jin-Sui Army are cowards!"

"They have no guts to start a real cavalry battle with them!"

"Retreat, the horses are retreating to avoid greater casualties."

The cavalry major immediately issued orders eastward. He knew that if he fought eastward like that, his troops would sooner or later be completely annihilated.

The Little Japanese cavalry troops began to evacuate. After Zhang Wu found out what happened, he immediately organized his troops to launch a fire attack.

If you want to deal with those little devils, just kill them if you can. As for how to kill them, it doesn't matter at all.

When the Moon Army fights, all kinds of underhanded tactics will be used. Before the Red Blade battle, they use machine guns to shoot.

Continuously attacking positions that could not be broken through, they directly used poison gas bombs.

They can brutally slaughter defenseless people.
