The phone of the artillery battalion directly under the brigade rang rapidly, and the artillery battalion commander ran forward and grabbed the phone.
"I am the artillery battalion..." Sun Heiniu was interrupted by a vicious voice before he could finish his words.
"Battle Commander Sun, the Japs are attacking! Cover the front of our position hard! Blow them up!"
The call came from the front line, and Sun Heiniu didn't dare to neglect it. After hanging up the phone, he grabbed the telescope and ran to the observation port.
In the telescope, Sun Heiniu saw the scene in front of the position, which was a rolling khaki wave. He was frightened but could not help but feel excited at the same time.
How crazy are the Japanese? They actually launched such a large-scale and intensive group charge. They were clearly a living target for artillery fire.
Sun Heiniu would not pity the little devil's life and death. He would rather die. A ferocious look appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Calibrate the target and prepare for bombardment!" Sun Heiniu ordered loudly.
The officers and soldiers of the artillery camp moved quickly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The mountain cannons quickly took off their camouflage, raised their dark and cold cannon bodies, and quickly calibrated the elements. Everything was quick and orderly.
The front line has shouted to kill Zhentian, and the little Japanese who launched a group charge crossed the buffer zone on both sides, jumped over the craters, and passed over the corpses, heading straight to the front line.
The brothers in the trenches at the front calmly put their rifle butts on their shoulders and began to aim at the Japanese.
Dozens of imitation Czech-style light machine guns were arranged on the front line, and heavy machine guns were also ready. Every brother was excited in the silent and tense atmosphere.
The veterans spat on the sharp swords, then put them back into the scabbard, looking at the howling and charging little Japs, their eyes burning with the blazing flames of revenge.
The little Japanese were really hungry and panicked. They didn't care about tactics anymore. They grabbed their guns one by one and rushed over in a swarm, trying to compete for food in the hands of the Chinese officers and soldiers.
If they were facing an army of inexperienced recruits, I am afraid that facing such a crazy large-scale charge, their momentum alone would have frightened the defenders.
But the little devils had forgotten that there was a powerful force fed by blood stationed in front of them. Their unorganized and untactical charge was destined to result in bloody injuries.
"Hold on! Move closer and hit!"
The voices of the grassroots commanders in various trenches echoed in the ears of the brothers.
The brothers are no longer new recruits, so they naturally know how to enforce orders and prohibitions.
"When the time comes, we will be sure to beat the Japanese officials and those holding the flag."
The sniper teams scattered in various trenches also received orders one after another and began to search for their targets.
The Japanese were already dizzy with hunger, and they were full of energy when they climbed out of the trench and charged. However, after running a few hundred meters, they were all out of breath.
The Japanese soldiers felt that their feet were weak and as heavy as lead. Their speed was getting slower and slower, but they still scrambled to pounce on the Chinese positions for food.
Before the Japanese soldiers could reach the shooting range of their brothers, the artillery battalion's test shells fell first among the Japanese soldiers.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled violently, and smoke and dust from the explosion fire instantly rose into the sky.
The Japanese soldiers who were charging intensively were immediately blown over. Under the action of the strong shock wave, many of them were knocked into all directions. They rolled down in a large area covered with blood and flesh. The screams of the Japanese soldiers silenced the murderous cries of the Japanese soldiers.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
The screams of the Japanese commanders rang out again, and the Japanese who had subconsciously fallen to the ground also reacted and struggled to get up again, preparing to continue charging.
"Boom! Boom!"
A shrill roar came from the sky, and a row of artillery shells flew into the sky, exploding in the ranks of the Japanese soldiers. Countless mutilated bodies flew into the sky with a deafening roar.
The cannon roared and roared, covering up the almost desperate cries of killing of the Japanese commanders. Soon many Japanese commanders were also blown into the sky. As soon as they landed, new shells followed one after another, until they were blown to pieces.
The front of the brothers' trenches was covered by smoke and dust in the blink of an eye. In the light of the explosion, from time to time, bloody broken arms and legs were seen flying high into the sky.
During the covering bombardment, the Japanese were blown up and ran around crying, but they were soon knocked over by the powerful shock wave or blown into pieces.
"Onboard...boom!"
The Japanese commanders still wanted to roar and continue charging, but their voices were so weak and powerless amidst the roar of artillery fire. They experienced what true despair was.
The Japanese soldiers have always relied on sharp artillery fire. Every time they attack, artillery fire will cover the squadron's position. This time they also experienced artillery fire, and they suffered casualties.
Thick black smoke and dust were stirring in front of the position, pressing against the ground, obscuring the brothers' sight like dark clouds in the sky.
Although the brothers could not see what was going on inside the smoke, the scattered pieces of mud and flesh flying all over the sky and the shrill screams coming from the smoke still let them know clearly that the Japanese were in a miserable state, worse than ever before.
Thinking of the countless times that they had prayed to heaven and earth to pray to Bodhisattva for protection under such artillery fire, the brothers felt very angry in their hearts.
Now that the Japanese soldiers had tasted the artillery bombardment, the brothers felt extremely happy, so they wanted to express their gratitude to the artillery brothers and let out a strong sigh of relief for them.
The artillery fire continued for several minutes, and there was already a pile of dead bodies in front of the position. The Japanese were dying in various strange ways.
Faced with such a devastating bombardment by the artillery troops, all the Japanese who rushed in front were killed. Several hundred people were blown into pieces of bones and flesh like plows, and the ground was a scarlet red.
The mountain wind blew away the gunpowder smoke, and the little devils behind saw the tragic scene in front. Except for a few people covered in blood who were rolling and twitching on the ground, most of them were buried in the floating soil, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
"ah……"
Seeing this miserable scene, the Japanese's desire to survive defeated their desire for food. They couldn't help but flinch, then turned around and stumbled back to their own position.
More and more Japs were frightened out of their wits. These Japs who were later added to the army were no longer as good as the old Japs with rich combat experience, and their willpower was much weaker.
Seeing someone leading the way and running back, more and more Japs turned around and ran away. The Japs commanders, whose faces were covered in dirt and blood, turned livid with anger.
A Japanese captain kicked a Japanese soldier who was retreating, put his pistol against the soldier's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"boom!"
The gunfire rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in the head of the retreating Japanese soldier, which frightened the other Japanese soldiers and stopped in their tracks.
"Attack! We are the invincible Imperial Japanese Army! Charge forward! Tear the Chinese people to pieces! Steal their food!"
The Japanese captain was roaring loudly: "Those who retreat without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
"Come on! Come on!"
Japanese commanders at all levels kicked and beat their own soldiers, like driving away pigs, urging them to turn around and start the charge again.
