The two agreed on today's tactics and then separated.

The recruits of the second battalion surrounded Yang Kang, looking at the shining gold tooth in his hand, and they were all very envious.

Soldiers from the fifth and sixth companies surrounded the soldiers from the fourth company and listened to them talk about the bloody scenes they had just seen on the battlefield.

The current officers and soldiers of the Fourth Company have long forgotten their ugly behavior on the battlefield just now.

Each one of them described themselves as extremely brave and received admiring looks from their brothers.

Wei Mingyang watched these soldiers bragging. If the soldiers in a team can brag and dare to brag, it means that these soldiers have forgotten their fear and have begun to have some morale.

Li Cheng led a platoon of soldiers and finally saw the Japanese artillery driving down the road and onto a flat ground.

"Isn't this behind the hill where we encountered the Japanese infantry just now?" Li Cheng recognized it at once.

I saw the Japanese artillery starting to enter the position.

Li Cheng sent a few soldiers and ordered them to sneak back quietly and report the location of the Japanese artillery positions to the camp.

The two observers from the artillery company discussed with each other, and Fan Chengcai followed these soldiers back to report.

Peng Jia still stayed here and continued to observe.

Wei Mingyang heard that the Japanese artillery position was behind the hill in front, and that the distance between the fort and the hill was 2,800 meters.

The Japanese artillery position is between 100 and 300 meters behind the hill.

After asking in detail about the location of the Japanese artillery positions, Fan Chengcai was indeed a professional observer and a genuine student soldier who graduated from the Nanjing Artillery School.

He hand-drawn the location of the Japanese artillery position. When he left the hiding position, the Japanese artillery had not yet fully entered the emplacement.

But the engineers had already dug out the gun emplacements, and the position of each cannon had been fixed.

Wei Mingyang looked at the schematic diagram and imagined whether the Japanese cannons should be in place at this time.

He ordered: "Drag all twelve infantry guns up and bring out six tanks."

These cannons are placed on the north side of the mountain. They cannot be seen from the Japanese artillery positions and observation positions, as well as from the infantry observation positions.

According to the expected location of the Japanese artillery position, Wei Mingyang adjusted various parameters of the cannon.

I began to wait quietly.

Wei Mingyang had to wait for the Japanese artillery to enter the position before he started bombing.

Platoon leader Li Cheng and his men were three thousand meters away, watching the Japanese as busy as ants.

They shouted slogans and pushed the cannons into the set positions one by one.

Protective walls were separated by sandbags between each cannon.

The Japs' operation of cannons was carried out strictly in accordance with regulations.

After half an hour of busy work, the third field artillery regiment, the 150mm howitzers, and the 120mm cannon have not all entered the position.

Twelve 70mm field guns from the 3rd Artillery Battalion also arrived.

Seeing that the Japanese had twelve more cannons, Li Cheng's expression changed: With so many cannons, how much the Japanese attach great importance to the Wusongkou Fort!

"Platoon commander! The Japanese have added new cannons and want to send the information back." Peng Jia whispered.

"Okay! You take three people and report back!"

"I can't leave. If the Japanese change, no one will understand.

I have drawn all the Japanese artillery positions and just send one person back." Peng Jia said.

"Okay! I'll send three people back." Li Cheng sent a veteran and left with two recruits.

When Wei Mingyang saw the new Japanese artillery layout, he immediately adjusted the firing parameters of the four infantry cannons.

He asked Zhang Peiqing to select six soldiers and send them to three infantry companies to guide the operation of infantry artillery.

When adjusting the parameters, the artillerymen were also specially explained the reasons for such settings.

From the distance between the cannon and the Japanese artillery position, we talked about the parameters of the cannon and the reasons for such settings.

The artillerymen of the Fourth Company, the Fifth Company, and the Sixth Company were confused, but the artillerymen sent by Zhang Peiqing listened with great interest.

The Japanese artillery positions are more than 3,000 meters away. When will they be deployed and how can we know?

Li Daqiang was a little anxious. The power of the Japanese naval guns yesterday was still fresh in his mind.

Wei Mingyang said with a smile: "The first test shell fired by the Japanese cannon proved that all their cannons were in position.

That's when we fire."

The 215th Regiment outside the fort has dug trenches and is ready, waiting for the Japanese infantry to charge.

The national soldiers guarding the Wusongkou Fort were ready and waiting for the Japanese attack.

Taro Yada's battalion just lost more than a hundred Japanese, but it has now adjusted its mood.

Although there were only about fifty Japanese soldiers left in Minamoto Ryunosuke's squadron, they were still assigned to conduct the first round of exploratory attacks.

The Japanese soldiers of Kuranaga Tatsuji's Infantry Regiment were also ready to attack at this time.

They are all waiting for the cannons from the three brigades of the Field Artillery Regiment to prepare for artillery fire. Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji is very satisfied to be able to have three artillery brigades providing fire support.

It is confident that it will capture the fort in front today: although through the telescope, it has been seen that there are many national soldiers moving on the hillside in front of the fort.

But it believed that those national soldiers would not be a problem under the bombardment of 150mm howitzers.

It will definitely be solved. If it can't be solved with one round of shells, then there will be another round.

There is no position where the national soldiers cannot be eliminated by two artillery and grenade bombardments!

Both the enemy and ourselves are waiting for the Japanese artillery to make a sound.

He came out after calling for thousands of times, still half-hiding his face with his pipa in his arms.

The first test fired by the Japanese was a 150mm grenade: "Boom!"

Although the sound of cannon firing was more than three thousand meters away and there were mountains in between, the soldiers on the Wusongkou fort still vaguely heard it.

Wei Mingyang watched as a shell roared and landed five or six hundred meters to the left of the fort.

"The Japs are firing!" Li Cheng and his guard platoon were two thousand meters away from the Japs artillery position, watching a Japs cannon fire.

Even though he was more than two thousand meters away, Li Cheng's voice was still very low.

Peng Jia is a professional artilleryman. He explained: "Platoon commander! The Japanese are conducting a test firing. They are testing the shooting parameters.

Once the measurement is accurate, the bombing will begin."

"What should I do?" Li Cheng asked.

"We can only watch!" Peng Jia thought of the two cannons on the top of the mountain and felt extremely regretful.

The Japanese have thirty-six cannons here. It only takes one salvo to blow up the two cannons on the top of the mountain.

"What a pity!"

"The Japanese are firing!" Wei Mingyang became happy and ordered loudly: "Everyone is here! Fire!"
Chapter completed!
