Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Oh no! There's an ambush!!"

"Hide! Disperse!!"

"Baga! Baga!!"

The commander of the 36th Division, Inujiro Yamagami, was caught off guard by the sudden gunfire and shouted in panic.

Originally, Yamagami Inujiro was still sitting on the truck, leisurely thinking about how to relax after returning to Qucheng.

As luck would have it, a shell landed precisely in front of his truck.

The driver died instantly and the truck crashed into a dirt hill.

Yamagami Inujiro hit the windshield of the truck hard. Blood was flowing from his head and he looked quite miserable.

After all, the Japs were elite soldiers who had experienced many battles and reacted quickly.

After hearing the gunshots, without being told anything, he immediately lay on the ground and quickly looked for cover.

After hiding, he began to shoot randomly in all directions.

After all, in the darkness, they could only see a little bit of faint fire from the muzzle of the gun on the opposite side.

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

Several sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard.

Four flares flashed brightly and exploded above the Japanese heads.

It illuminated the figures of the devils and also illuminated their path to hell.

"Boom!!!"

All the artillery fire on Li Yunlong's side was divided into two positions on the left and right, and the shells roared and flew towards the Japanese in front.

It exploded among the Japanese.

Especially the six 107mm rocket launchers, which are extremely powerful.

A dense net of bullets was formed, and the Japanese soldiers howled in pain under the punishment of artillery fire.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"What kind of artillery is this? Why is it so dense?!"

"Help! Medic! Medic!!"

"Dass should be brought!!"

After several rounds of artillery fire from Li Yunlong's side, the Japanese 36th Division had suffered more than a thousand casualties.

This was because Li Yunlong's artillery fire was not strong enough, and the Japanese formation was relatively scattered, so there was no large-scale casualties on the Japanese.

However, such casualties were unprecedented in the independent regiment's previous battle records.

You know, more than a thousand Japanese devils are equivalent to the strength of a battalion.

The independent regiment used to have only 1200 people, roughly the same number as the Japanese, but their weapons and equipment were really incomparable.

Li Yunlong's eyes turned green at this time, and he jumped excitedly in the trench holding a telescope.

"Hahaha! Old Zhao! I've never fought such a rich battle in my life!"

"God has mercy on us! Not only do I now command three regiments, I also have such powerful artillery fire!"

"Haha! I've never been so happy as I am today!!"

Li Yunlong held the telescope in one hand and patted Zhao Gang's shoulder excitedly with the other hand and shouted.

"Old Li! Look! If our weapons and equipment were the same as the Japanese, they would be no match for our Chinese army!"

"This time, we have to let the devils have a good taste of the power of our artillery fire!"

Zhao Gang also said excitedly.

As a patriotic young intellectual, he often heard his teachers talk about how advanced and powerful foreign weapons and equipment were when he was in school.

Comparing it with the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army, I feel extremely disappointed.

What's more, the theory of national destruction was rampant in society at that time, especially when the War of Resistance Against Japan had just begun, most people were very pessimistic.

Zhao Gang's eyes welled up with tears at this moment. Our Chinese army is no worse than the devils, and our Chinese nation is no worse than any other nation in the world...

At this time, the artillery attacks were still continuing on the side of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also looked at the intensive artillery fire ahead with tears in their eyes.

Even the night was half illuminated red...

This is because Li Yunlong and his men are used to being poor. If Lin Tian were to come, the artillery camp would open fire at full power and the Japanese would be reduced by at least two-thirds.

Under the artillery doctrine, offense and defense changed. With the pitiful artillery fire of the Japs, they were no match for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian and Zhou Weiguo also heard the sound of artillery fire in the distance.

"Haha, it looks like the commander and his men are having a falling out with the devils! It's three o'clock in the morning now, the devils won't dare to act rashly!"

"They have no idea that they are surrounded by us. They will definitely wait until daybreak before taking any action!"

"Lao Liu! Tell Weiguo not to move. There's no problem with the commander. The Japs don't know about Weiguo and his men yet!"

"If the enemy is at a disadvantage in combat, they will definitely move towards Liujiashan! It all depends on how he and Fang Zheng perform then!"

Lin Tian looked at the map and analyzed.

"Yes! Commander!!"

Liu Wu replied.

……

This side of Liujiashan.

"Weiguo, listen to the sound of artillery fire. It's the 107 rocket launchers of the regiment commander and his men. It looks like the Japanese are suffering again."

"The headquarters called us just now and told us to hold our ground. The Japanese will come towards us again. We will fight them then."

Fang Zheng came up to Zhou Weiguo and said with a grin.

"Haha, why does it feel like the Japs have already been sentenced to death before the battle even begins?"

"The Japs are strong, but they are not as strong as our division!"

"The commander also brought here some bodies of the Japanese prince and the 36th Division, so that we can stir up the Japanese."

"I don't think it's necessary to do that. Send out the scouts. As soon as tomorrow morning comes, we will send the location of the Japs to the artillery camp."

"There are only more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers now. I don't believe they can withstand the bombardment of the artillery camp."

Zhou Weiguo looked at the battlefield in the distance and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the battle against a Japanese division would go so smoothly.

Originally, everyone except Lin Tian was very nervous about the battle with the 36th Division. However, once the fighting started, everything turned out to be a completely different story.

The Japanese were like clay in front of the tanks and cannons and had no ability to fight back.

……

"Baga Yalu! The Eighth Route Army is indeed cunning and sly!"

"They actually set up an ambush behind us!"

"Have you figured out the enemy's troop strength, numbers, and firepower configuration?"

The commander of the 36th Division, Inujiro Yamagami, slammed the car door and questioned.

"Report... Report to the division commander. We have found out that the enemy in front of us is the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

"The number of soldiers is about 8000. The firepower... the firepower configuration has not been determined yet..."

The Chief of Staff of the 36th Division replied with his head down and evasive eyes.

"idiot!!"

"Idiot pigs! The Empire has a bunch of idiot pigs!"

"I was robbed and I can't even figure out the enemy's firepower configuration!"

"What kind of battle are you fighting?!"

Yamagami Inujiro flew into a rage and started swearing.

"Division... Your Excellency the Division Commander... The firepower of this Eighth Route Army is very strange..."

"Our scouts detected that they had several strange-looking artillery pieces."

"There are many cannons on it. I suspect that this unit is equipped with rocket launchers!"

The Chief of Staff answered stubbornly.
