"Everyone enter position one!" Hu Yizhou ordered.

"Quick! Move quickly, position number one!"

Following Hu Yizhou's order, the entire artillery company moved into action. They took the artillery crew as a unit, three people with 82 guns, five or six people with a box of artillery shells each, and ran towards their respective positions.

Since the artillery company's air-raid shelter is near the west gate of the city, it will take some time for them to reach the artillery position.

Of course, the attacking Japanese soldiers are not that fast and it also takes time.

"Quickly, take off the camouflage and set up the cannon! Quickly! Remove the shell box and use the No. 3 charge!"

Under the orders of their respective artillery team leaders, the No. 1 artillery position, which was spared the bombing because it was camouflaged with tree branches, was busy. In each artillery combat pit, soldiers were setting up cannons and unpacking boxes of shells.

Even those responsible for loading the propellant packs into the tail tubes of the artillery shells were busy. The gunners began to adjust their coordinates.

In the trenches, three companies of soldiers held their guns and aimed toward the west in the direction from which the Japanese came.

In the headquarters not far from the trench, the commander of the third battalion was also watching the battlefield with a telescope.

"Rumble...crunch...bang..."

The Japs' offensive team finally stopped one kilometer away from the defensive position.

Then, the eight 92 heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron were set up 400 meters forward! The two infantry squadrons were also ready for the attack, and four 37mm rapid-fire cannons were also set up with the heavy machine gun position.

Not only that, the two infantry cannons of the infantry artillery squad of the brigade and the four infantry cannons of the infantry artillery squadron of the regiment were also in place more than a kilometer away, and further away, the four mountain guns of the regiment were also in place.

Aiming the muzzle at the west gate position of Baoshan City.

This is the scene of the Japanese's official attack. The artillery fire from both long and short ranges is fully deployed, and the infantry attack is also tenacious.

"It's not easy! It's not easy! Order down! Fire at full speed. After firing ten shells as fast as possible, move your position immediately!" Hu Yizhou hid in the command post of the fourth company commander, because he could command himself at the same time here.

artillery battery.

"Yes!" Fang Hao acted as a messenger again.

"Boom...chirp...boom..."

Before the Japanese attack, there was another fifteen minutes of shelling as usual! Looking at the artillery shells falling on his own position from time to time, Hu Yizhou was so angry that he just wanted to set up an 82 gun and knock some out for him!

However, it’s not up to you to decide at this time! You can only endure it and endure it!

Fortunately, the brothers of the Third Battalion knew how to hide in the cat's ear holes in the trenches, and the Japanese shelling did not cause much damage.

"Kill..." Nagao Kaneda waved his command sword.

"Quack..." Heavy machine gun fire suppressed them.

"Boom..." Four Type 89 medium tanks and six Xiaodotin tanks cleared the way.

"Kill..." The two standard 180-man squadrons responsible for the attack began to organize an orderly attack.

This time the Japs did not conduct fire reconnaissance, but just pressed up more than 300 people. The Japs followed the tanks in small groups, and with the help of the cover of the tanks, they headed towards the second company's position.

.

The first to stop were the Japanese grenadier soldiers. They stopped about 300 meters away and began to measure the range and reload, preparing to snipe the light machine guns here. Then the remaining infantry followed the small tanks.

Slowly approaching the second company's position from behind.

"beat!"

Seeing that the Japs were approaching 200 meters, the second company commander could no longer bear it and gave the order to fire.

"Bang...bang...ta da da...ta da da..."

Following Captain Sun's order, Hanyang-made and Czech-style gunfire rang out on the Second Company's position.

"Dang-dang..." From time to time, bullets hit the attacking tanks, creating first-rate sparks.

"Da da da... that's enough..."

By this time, the little Japanese infantrymen no longer hid behind the tanks. They all set up crooked sticks and rained bullets on the Second Company's position.

As soon as the war began, it entered a fever pitch! There was no probing attack, no gradual increase in troops, and it was a coordinated battle of infantry and tanks against trench warfare.

The Japs relied on the superiority of tank and artillery firepower to continuously approach the Second Company's position, while the Second Company took advantage of the trenches to continuously fight back.

"Boom..." The light machine gun that couldn't dodge was blown up by the Japanese grenade.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp...ah..." The retaliatory bullets beat the grenadier soldiers into sieves.

"Boom...boom..." Just as both sides were suffering casualties, the combat anti-aircraft artillery hidden behind the mound of the third company's position opened fire. Two shells directly destroyed two Type 89 medium tanks.

"Master!" Hu Yizhou also applauded the gunner just now!

Being able to hit the tanks that kept driving back and forth in front of the trench, this gunner was definitely extraordinary!

"Boom...boom..." After two more shots, another medium tank was destroyed.

But at this time, the enemy's retaliatory artillery fire also arrived. The area near the anti-war artillery just now was covered and bombed by the enemy, but I don't know how effective it was.

"Boom boom...boom boom..." At this time, the side-firing heavy machine guns arranged on both sides of the position by the third company commander finally played their role!

The heavy machine gun ignored the enemy's small tank and fired exclusively at the infantry behind the tank. The distance of about 200 meters was exactly the most effective range of the Civilian 24.

The commander of the third battalion watched the battle ahead from the command post without saying a word. He didn't put down his telescope until the enemy's artillery fire covered the battle defense artillery position, and until the civilians here began to harvest the lives of the little Japs.

"The little Japs are planning to establish an offensive position! Go and notify the artillery company! Bomb the location of the Japs' brigade! The main targets are the Japs' heavy machine gun positions, infantry artillery positions, and reserve positions! Let him play freely!" said the Third Battalion!

Chang shouted.

"yes!"

Near the Japanese brigade, two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were sweating profusely, digging holes in the soil and preparing to build offensive positions. This was the reason why the third battalion commander changed his goal.

"Company Commander Hu! Battalion Commander's order..." The orderer conveyed the order.

"Okay! Tell the battalion commander and let him take care of it!" Hu Yizhou shouted happily.

"Listen up! The first platoon is the heavy machine gun position, the second platoon is the infantry artillery position, and the third and fourth platoons are for me to blast their offensive positions! Adjust the coordinates in two minutes!" Hu Yizhou came to the artillery position.

"yes!"

Following Hu Yizhou's order, the gunners began to adjust the coordinates.

"Report, the first platoon is ready! The second platoon is ready!"

"Report..." In less than two minutes, eight mortars were ready.

"Okay! Listen to my order! Fire! Fire ten shells quickly!" Hu Yizhou shouted loudly.

"put!""……"

"Boom, boom, boom...boom, boom, boom..."

Following a burst of artillery fire, eight mortar shells flew into the sky with a roar, and then, before these shells landed, there were eight more, and eight more...
Chapter completed!
