Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

They only knew how to launch surprise attacks on the locust army, and never engaged in direct combat with them.

A good regiment was ambushed by the damn regiment of the 389th Division and was almost destroyed after it retreated.

This time it was even more bizarre. From the moment they came out, Chinese soldiers kept attacking the locust army.

And he was facing the sergeant of the locust army.

Along the way, the locust army was either clearing mines or guarding against hidden attacks.

By the time they arrived at Guanglu Town, the locust army had lost more than 300 men.

Ishiguro Sadanzo looked at the Eighth Route Army at the Guanglu Town position, and suddenly a nameless fire rose in his heart.

Now I think about fighting a positional battle with the locust army. Before, I only knew how to launch sneak attacks.

Ishiguro Sadanzo didn't even think twice and didn't even let the artillery squadron participate in the battle. He directly sent a squadron to test the strength of the Eighth Route Army in front.

As soon as the Japanese squadron began to attack Guanglu Town, it was immediately attacked by the Second Battalion. Under the firepower of the Second Battalion, the entire squadron quickly retreated, leaving behind dozens of corpses.

Ishiguro Sadanzo, who was not far away, saw this scene and narrowed his eyes.

I didn't expect that the firepower of the Eighth Route Army blocking me was so strong.

However, where did this group of Eighth Route Army get so much equipment from the Locust Army? They couldn't have seized so much.

Then Ishiguro Sadanzo didn't think much about it, just thinking that the equipment of this Eighth Route Army might have been similar to that of the Locust Army by drawing on many troops.

Afterwards, he carefully observed the situation in Guanglu Town and suddenly discovered that the Eighth Route Army had also built defensive positions in the open area on the left.

He immediately burst into laughter, mocking the Eighth Route Army for overestimating its own capabilities and daring to fight a positional battle with the locust army on the plains.

Therefore, the 1st Battalion was ordered to start moving to the left, while the artillery squadron and the artillery of the 1st Battalion began to prepare to start shelling the positions on the opposite west side.

Ishiguro Sadanzo planned to take the western position in one go, and then defeat and destroy the opposing Eighth Route Army troops from the flank and front.

As the Japanese artillery positions were completed, six Type 6 infantry guns began to fire directly at the Eighth Route Army positions on the opposite west side.

At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion were hiding in the tunnel under the position, listening to the bursts of artillery fire coming from above, and the occasional exposure of some soil from the wooden boards above.

The entire tunnel began to shake due to the explosions from above.

After a while, the sound of artillery fire stopped.

At this time, the soldiers of each squad and platoon of the first battalion, led by their squad leaders and platoon leaders, began to crawl out of the tunnels, preparing to resist the impending attack of the Japanese army.

After coming out of the tunnel, the Japanese army began to attack as expected.

A large group of Japanese troops began to press forward densely from the open space in front.

When the battalion commander saw this scene, he immediately realized that the artillery company needed to take action.

Therefore, when he observed that a large number of Japanese troops had begun to approach the front of the position, he directly ordered people to fire signal flares to notify the artillery company to start shelling towards the previously designated artillery unit.

After seeing the news, the artillery company immediately started firing three rapid-fire shots at the large Japanese attacking force.

Cut off the Japanese army's attack on the central part.

At the same time, the soldiers hiding in the trenches also detonated grenades and threw them at the approaching Japanese troops outside the fortifications.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard in front of the western position.

At the same time, after firing three shells in succession, the artillery company immediately picked up the mortar and switched to the next position.

The soldiers waiting for the artillery company had just left the original artillery position when the entire position suddenly began to emit bursts of explosions.

After seeing this, everyone in the artillery company felt a little scared.

Fortunately, I listened to the training instructor before. When fighting with the Japanese army, mortars and other supporting artillery must move their positions after firing three rapid-fire rounds.
