Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Ji Hongru understood, but still asked worriedly.

"Changfeng, are you sending them out to deal with the Japanese heavy artillery regiment? Is that feasible?"

His worries were not unfounded. The Japanese heavy artillery regiment certainly could not be without guards.

If these few people go out, they can be easily wiped out.

Gu Changfeng smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Ji, you don't understand this. Let them try. If it doesn't work, just return it."

If Xiaowu and the others really find the opportunity, with the long-range attack of the rocket launcher and the special forces' raid tactics, this might really be possible.

"Well, I don't know what you are thinking." Ji Hongru muttered.

In his opinion, it was almost a dream for these hundreds of people to go out and destroy the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.

But he also had a vague expectation in his heart, what if?

Gu Changfeng didn't explain anything further, but instead reminded him.

"Brother Ji, I think the next attack by the Japanese will be heavy artillery fire, so everyone should be careful."

Ji Hongru nodded and said, "I'll take care of this matter." Then he walked towards the front position.

The soldiers of the 301st Regiment on the position, including Gu Changfeng's men, did not rest because they saw that the Japanese were slow to attack.

They picked up shovels and continued to expand the tunnel.

The role of anti-bomb holes is self-evident, and everyone knows that since they are idle anyway, they can increase their chances of survival by doing more.

"Brother Gu, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Xiaowu lined up and asked Gu Changfeng.

"No, safety is the most important thing. If there is really no chance, I will withdraw and find another way."

Gu Changfeng said.

Xiao Wu nodded and looked at Liu Dazhuang who was walking over and said.

"Brother Dazhuang, I need your help this time."

"Okay, it doesn't matter where we fight the Japanese. Liu Si and I will go with you."

"We are also members of the special forces, okay? How can the special forces operation be without us?"

Liu Dazhuang said with a hearty smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiaowu laughed and began to lead the team towards the back mountain. They had to take a detour to look for an opportunity.

Hundreds of special forces acted together, bringing with them a platoon of rocket launchers and a large number of artillery shells. This specification was enough to fight a war of annihilation.

Of course, if there were too many Japanese devils, Xiaowu and the others would not take action.

Gu Changfeng's guess was correct. Not long after the special forces set out, the Japanese heavy artillery regiment began to take action.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers of the Yagi Regiment were also ready to launch a charge, waiting for the shelling to end, and were determined to capture the front positions.

In this small, broken place, the Yagi Regiment has already left behind several squadrons of Imperial Warriors.

Such a huge loss made the captain of the regiment, Yagi, look very embarrassed.

Therefore, he must take advantage of this opportunity to capture Huxiu in front of him in one fell swoop to relieve his hatred.

"Gentlemen, this is your only chance. With the support of the division's heavy artillery, if we can't capture these Chinese in Huxiu."

"You can join me in serving His Majesty the Emperor."

After Major General Yagi finished speaking, he glanced at the captains with a cold look.

"Hi!"

Several team leaders looked serious and bowed their legs together in agreement.

They naturally knew that if this attack failed, not only the regiment commander, but even the brigade commander would be in trouble, let alone them.

There is only one way now, which is to fight to the death, either you die or I die!

"Boom!"

Violent roars began to resound throughout the battlefield, and the entire Huxu instantly fell into the range of the Japanese artillery shells.

The power of the 150mm howitzer and the 105mm cannon is not comparable to those field guns and mountain guns. The moment the shells hit the ground, many places showed signs of collapse.

Ji Hongru, who was hiding in the anti-artillery cave, was a little anxious. Under the attack of the howitzer, the soil above his head fell down, as if it was about to flood the place at any time!

"Changfeng, is this anti-bomb hole really useful? Why do I feel like I can't hold on any longer?"

Ji Hongru couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem unless you're extremely unlucky and encounter an unexpected situation."

Gu Changfeng sat aside calmly with his head down!

Judging from the noise, it doesn’t seem like heavy artillery with a caliber of 200 or above, so there’s no need to panic at all!

Ji Hongru opened his mouth to ask something else, but after eating a few grains of dust, he closed it. He felt bitter in his mouth and heart, and didn't want to ask any more questions.

He was not worried about himself, but mainly about the soldiers in the entire fortification.

The Japanese heavy artillery is no joke. If any part of it fails to withstand the attack, he can’t even imagine the casualties!

.........

The Japanese artillery regiment's position was deployed by Colonel Yokono more than 30 miles away from Huxu.

This place has a wide view, and Colonel Yokono also cautiously brought a large group of soldiers to guard it, so it can be said that it is almost impossible to be attacked by surprise.

He also knew that the other side had mortars, so he specifically applied to the division commander to arrange guards at various intersections.

Only when everything was ready did he order the artillery to launch an attack on Huxu.

It can be said that Colonel Yokono has achieved the ultimate in this regard.

"Yoshi, Hushu should be wiped out by the division's heavy artillery."

Colonel Yokono held a telescope and watched the whistling shells with a smug smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, with the division's heavy artillery attack, I estimate that Huxiu will fall into the division's hands today."

Major Iinuma of the artillery regiment said respectfully.

Colonel Yokono glanced at Iinuma and snorted.

"A tiny Huxiu was able to hold off the Empire for two days, even requiring our artillery regiment to intervene. They should feel honored."

Obviously he agreed with this result.

With such careful arrangements, he feels very confident.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we should be more cautious based on what happened to Brigadier General Ide this morning!"

A very unpleasant voice suddenly appeared, making Colonel Yokono's face turn ugly in an instant.

The artillery battalion of the Ide Brigade was destroyed, and the brigade commander, Ide Nobutoki, was beaten into a pig's head. This news has spread throughout the entire division.

Whether the Japanese treated it as a joke or for fun, there were still some sober people.

But this sober person was not liked by Colonel Yokono.

"Ito-kun, you should go watch over the Imperial Warriors!"

Colonel Yokono ordered in a cold tone.

He has always been dissatisfied with this subordinate, for no other reason than that he has a foul mouth and doesn't know how to flatter others.

When Major Ito heard the order, he turned around and left with an expressionless face, without caring about what his superior Yokono felt.

Colonel Yokono snorted coldly and said to Iinuma.

"Let the warriors fight for two more minutes and notify the Ide Brigade that they can prepare to attack."

Seven or eight minutes have passed since the shelling began. Ten minutes of shelling is enough to flatten Hushu Town.

Continuing to fight would be a waste of ammunition.

It is difficult to replenish the ammunition for the 150mm howitzer and 105mm cannon, so there is no need to waste too much here.

Yokono's prediction was very accurate. Huxiu was indeed almost razed to the ground, and there was hardly a single intact building in the entire town.

Fortunately, Gu Changfeng had anticipated this and everyone except the soldiers hid in the anti-artillery cave.

The artillery company led by Lu Daya also ran to the back mountain to hide and did not suffer much damage at all.
