After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

But what is different from ordinary artillery positions is that these positions are equipped with grenade launchers!

If an artillery position has eight grenade launchers, then there are almost fifty grenade launchers!

These fifty grenade launchers all opened fire at the same time, and the shells fell directly into the Japanese positions like dense raindrops.

In an instant, flames broke out and artillery roared. The Japanese were blown to pieces and had no idea where to go!

"Once the light artillery regiment has finished this wave, it will be our turn." Wang Chengzhu got up from the ground and brushed off the dirt on his body.

After returning from the Battle of Lijiaopo, the brigade commander, for some unknown reason, specially divided the exclusive artillery regiment into two, one heavy artillery regiment and the other light artillery regiment.

There is no need to say much about the heavy artillery regiment, the focus is on the light artillery regiment that was divided out.

The brigade commander had a special requirement for this light artillery regiment, which was to make them do physical training every day and carry out armed cross-country running with grenade launchers.

The brigade commander said that the grenade launcher has strong maneuverability, allowing them to constantly adjust their position and firing angle on the battlefield.

In this way, the enemy can be killed more effectively.

Having said that, the same is true for the current battle. The role of the light artillery regiment is not only to provide cover and cooperation, but also to deliberately disrupt the enemy's line of sight and provide the heavy artillery regiment with a real opportunity to open fire.

Their purpose was to destroy the heavy artillery unit behind the 8th Regiment and completely destroy the enemy's heavy firepower.

As long as we kill them, the Eighth Regiment will be trapped and it will be difficult for them to turn around!

The deputy quickly came to Wang Chengzhu and reported loudly: "Report to the commander! The first battalion is ready!"

"Count!"

"A good one!"

"Second door is good!"

"Three doors are good!"

"..."

"Twenty-two is good!"

Voices came one after another from behind.

The heavy artillery hidden in the concealed places were suddenly revealed, most of which were Type 75, field guns, and a series of large-caliber heavy artillery.

But what is even more eye-catching is a shiny black steel behemoth hidden in the bushes not far away!

The barrel of the gun is frighteningly thick, and it reflects a chilling metallic luster in the sun, which is simply breathtaking at first glance.

This is the 150mm heavy howitzer!

"Captain...Captain!" Zhang Dabiao was completely dumbfounded. He swallowed his saliva first, then pulled Li Yunlong to the side.

But he pulled for a long time but still saw no response. He turned around and saw the captain standing there in a daze.

"Captain?" Zhang Dabiao patted Li Yunlong's shoulder.

Li Yunlong finally came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He turned his head suddenly and said, "Zhang Dabiao! Did I hear correctly just now?"

"Did you also hear that there is another light artillery regiment?!"

If Li Yunlong hadn't had problems with his ears just now, the independent brigade would have more than just one artillery regiment, but also a light and heavy artillery regiment, a total of two directly affiliated artillery regiments!

Zhang Dabiao smiled bitterly. He did not answer Li Yunlong's question because the fact was already clear in the open and there was no need to say more.

And just then!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The roar of cannons like rolling thunder suddenly broke out!

Twenty-two heavy artillery pieces fired at the same time, and the noise even caused the entire mountain to tremble continuously.

The huge air wave generated even caused Zhang Dabiao to stagger and almost fall down.

One after another, artillery shells streaked across the sky, making a sound of breaking through the air.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Zhang Dabiao struggled to steady himself and looked toward the Japanese position.

The position of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division was engulfed in a sea of fire. Trucks were engulfed in flames. The artillery pieces that symbolized the heavy firepower of the Japanese were blown to pieces and appeared extremely vulnerable.

Those shells that had not yet been fired were directly detonated in a chain reaction by the explosion.

Countless Japanese soldiers died in the sea of fire, engulfed by the flames of the explosion and the burning of gasoline.

The scene was in a mess and the Japanese position was in chaos.

And then, an inspiring charge sounded quickly!

Then, soldiers in navy blue uniforms emerged from their respective positions like an inseparable tide and rushed towards the remaining Japanese devils!

In less than five minutes, the entire battlefield was completely annihilated. To be more precise, they had surrounded the Eighth Regiment!

"Captain! Are the Japanese finished?" Zhang Dabiao looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

He couldn't even help rubbing his eyes, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

"It's completely over!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh.

Once the heavy artillery unit of the 8th Regiment was eliminated, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt. The Independent Brigade was like lambs to be slaughtered.

Even after Zhuzi's heavy artillery fired only one round, the Japanese were unable to withstand it. This was a completely unequal battle.

Damn it! Li Yunlong shook his head vigorously. This is a whole regiment!

......

at the same time.

At Dongyaosi Heights, Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment had also quickly arrived.

When his troops arrived here, they quickly deployed defenses on the high ground. His artillery battalions were dispersed and arranged into four artillery positions.

This was also a helpless move by Chu Yunfei. After all, the firepower of the upcoming Osaka Division was countless times greater than his. Once hit by the concentrated fire of the Japanese heavy artillery, an artillery battalion would probably be destroyed in an instant.

Once all of the 358th Regiment's artillery pieces were destroyed, the entire regiment would become a sitting duck.

"Commander, although the high ground here is strategically located, it does not have sufficient depth. Are we sure we want to defend it to the death?" Fang Ligong put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Chu Yunfei with a frown.

There is a mountain road ahead, and entering is the Cangyun Mountains. They actually have a better choice.

"We must defend it to the death! If this high ground is lost, the Osaka Division will march straight in and no one can stop them!" Chu Yunfei said solemnly.

Hold on to this high ground to the death. This is the order issued by the division headquarters and also the order given by the division commander after comprehensive consideration.

This is the only chance for their 358th Regiment and the only chance for the entire northwest Shanxi.

If they can hold on, they may be able to continue to hold on. If they can't, the entire Xia State armed forces in northwest Shanxi will probably be finished.

So Chu Yunfei made up his mind that he must defend this high ground even if the whole army was wiped out!

"But Commander, our firepower is not enough, and the Osaka Division's strength is not comparable to ours." Fang Ligong shook his head helplessly.

"There is no way to retreat, fighting is the only way!" Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice: "This road is narrow. Although the Japanese have a large number of troops, they cannot deploy all of them."

"Pass on my order. Lay mines and explosives on both sides of the road to slow down the enemy's attack!"

"Also, bring out all the light and heavy machine guns and mortars. We must create enough threat to the Japanese at all costs."

Just as Chu Yunfei was racking his brains to deploy his troops and try his best to hinder the Japanese's next attack.

There was a scout running towards him quickly from behind!

"Commander! Commander!"

"Report to the commander! The reconnaissance team has discovered something unusual!"

Chu Yunfei's brows suddenly frowned: "Abnormal situation? What abnormal situation!"

The scout was out of breath from running, so he could only take a deep breath and quickly said, "Report to the commander, according to the brothers' reconnaissance, a large-scale firefight is taking place inside the Cangyun Mountains!"

"Both sides have heavy firepower participating in the battle. It seems that friendly forces are exchanging fire with the Japanese vanguard forces!"
