This time, the soldiers of the national army did not get used to them. They kept chasing them with rifles and machine guns.

Sato Sansan escaped 300 meters, was shot twice, and fell groaning in a pool of blood.

Kamehide Koike is really good, he is one of the three Japanese who narrowly escaped.

Captain Yoshiharu Numata saw clearly the attack of Minamoto Ryunosuke's squadron throughout the whole process: this time the national army's defense was very disciplined.

Infantry against infantry, rifle against rifle!

The only difference is that the Japanese soldiers squatted in the trenches and took advantage of the location, which allowed the Minamoto Ryunosuke squadron to be completely wiped out.

It had no intention of recruiting three deserters to ask about the situation, and asked: "Mizuno-kun! How do you think we should attack?"

The battalion leader wanted to teach on-site. Captain Mizuno Ken was excited and quickly responded:

"Hai! I think: capture the national army's outer defense line first.

At the grenade position 400 meters in front of the defense line, the national army's machine gun firepower was deployed at fixed points.

A heavy machine gun position was set up at a distance of 300 meters to suppress the firepower of the national army.

Set up a machine gun position 200 meters away to cover the infantry charge!

It would be better if there could be mortars and infantry artillery support from the regiment."

"Yoshi! Mizuno-kun! Follow your battle plan!" Captain Mizuno Takeru's attack plan was clear and organized, and his firepower was arranged in an orderly manner.

Captain Numata Jiahe was very satisfied and immediately asked him to lead the team to attack.

At the same time, we also requested artillery reinforcements from Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji. The third field artillery regiment was unreliable.

But the infantry wing also has its own artillery squadron, two Type 92 infantry cannons and six Type 89 82mm mortars.

However, Captain Kuranaga Tatsuji did not use these artillery to support the infantry attack.

It was ordering these artillery pieces to spread out far away, disperse them, and bombard the two national army cannons on the fort.

The commander of the artillery squadron, Commander Daiki Harada, had just visited the tragic situation of the third field artillery regiment.

Having learned their lesson, all eight of its cannons were kept far apart.

Even if a 150mm grenade hits it, it can be guaranteed that two cannons will not be affected at the same time.

With such preparation, Squadron Leader Harada Daiki began to execute the bombing order:

The order it received was not to assist Mizuno Ken's squadron in the attack, but to bomb the two cannons on the top of the fort.

"Boom! Boom!"

The artillery shells exploded on the Wusongkou fort. The sudden blow startled the two cannons on the fort that were showing off their glory and bombarding the Japanese warships.

Wei Mingyang had no choice but to hurriedly blow up the Japanese troop transport ship and four gunboats and then immediately changed direction.

The nest was bombarded by artillery shells, which was not a good sign.

Although the Japanese bombing has not hit the target, it is impossible to tolerate.

Wei Mingyang ordered: "Zhang Peiqing! Bomb the Japanese artillery positions. The whole battalion has them, and all infantry guns bomb the Japanese artillery positions at the same time."

Upon receiving the order, Company Commander Zhang Peiqing immediately ordered his soldiers to turn their guns and prepare for bombing.

The 150mm howitzer operates very slowly, and the movement of turning the muzzle is not fast.

On the contrary, the twelve Type 89 infantry cannons of the three infantry companies moved the fastest, and they quickly adjusted after receiving the order.

For three minutes, twelve infantry guns opened fire at the same time, bombarding the Japanese artillery.

The effect of the bombing this time was far less than that of the artillery regiment.

Twelve cannons bombarded the Japanese artillery position, and the Japanese artillerymen were not to be outdone and fought back hard.

Sergeant Yongshan Jun looked at the shells falling and exploding around him, which was very scary.

At the beginning, the 70mm artillery shells fell, and the crater was only one or two meters in diameter, and the range of impact was only 50 or 60 meters.

This artillery team was still able to keep firing, and Sergeant Ren Chengji was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. It was responsible for aiming.

The Type 92 infantry gun is easy to aim, but because the gun body is too light, it needs to be adjusted after a few shots.

Every time at this time, Sergeant Ren Chengji needs to get up from the ground and run over to operate it.

When the cannon sounds "Boom!", it will tremble.

Kuriyama Shichiro hugged the cannonball and smiled: "Ken becomes the king! Life and death are destiny, wealth is in the sky.

With the blessing of His Majesty the Emperor, you can still enjoy the national festival even if you die!"

Sergeant Ren Chengji's face turned red: "Me! I don't want to die! I want to go back, Nobuko is still waiting for me."

The Japanese in the artillery squad all laughed: they had all seen the photo of Sergeant Ren Chengzhen’s fiancée.

What a beauty that is!

Everyone said: If I had such a fiancée, I would never join the army anyway.

Ren Chengqi said with a grimace every time: "This is what the family wants. In order to make the empire strong, every citizen of the empire needs to make a contribution."

When it first said this, it won the awe of everyone in the team.

Even Squadron Leader Harada was moved. Later, he told me so many times that no Japanese could feel it anymore.

It's all just a joke.

Shichiro Kuriki was the one who loaded the cannon. He loaded the cannon into the chamber, checked it carefully, and then closed the breech block.

Retreat, and Terashima Iori pulls the bolt and fires the cannon.

This small team has long been extremely skilled at doing this kind of thing. The only variable today is that the national army artillery has been bombing them.

The opponent also used Type 92 infantry artillery. Both sides used the same artillery, and the Japanese in the entire team were not panicked.

After a 150mm grenade fell from behind, Staff Sergeant Nagayama Jun became frightened.

Sergeant Ren Chengzhi was already covered in chaff and could hardly walk.

Iori Terajima, who had just laughed at it, fell silent at this time and did not dare to move.

A cannonball exploded, affecting hundreds of meters in radius, and shrapnel flew over in a roaring manner.

Staff Sergeant Yongshan Jun, who had been on guard all the time, moved quickly and crawled on the ground, luckily escaping.

But Shichiro Kuriyama, who operated the same cannon as it, was not so lucky.

Kuriyama Shichiro was holding a cannonball and before he could load it, he was hit in the head by flying shrapnel.

The whole person suddenly fell to the ground.

Ninari Kaede and Terajima Iori were both hit by the fragments of the shell, and they were also dead.

Three of the four operators of this infantry gun died in one fell swoop.

Yongshan Jun prostrated on the ground, never daring to get up again.

This Type 92 infantry gun had no Japanese to operate it. Squadron Leader Harada Daiki stopped when he saw a good gun.

Immediately ordered: "Maeda-kun! You must go to operate the cannon immediately."

"Hai!" Maeda Takafumi stood at attention and rushed out of the headquarters with four Japanese soldiers, heading straight for the cannon.
Chapter completed!
