Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Mazhuang is originally a plain area....

Of course, Shanxi’s unique terrain is indispensable...

There are also small hills all around, more than a dozen of them.

This is one of the reasons why the Eighth Route Army was able to develop and grow in Shanxi. The advantages of the terrain made the Eighth Route Army very suitable for conducting guerrilla warfare.

The little devils hid directly after being attacked by a burst of artillery fire.

They already know the power of the 12th Independent Brigade...

Countless artillery fire and bombardment from aircraft have made them slightly lose their rationality.

Under the orders of the brigade commander Hyakutake Harumaki.

The less than 3000 remaining Japs began to become more cautious...

Although the surrounding terrain is not suitable for them to fight back, it is still possible to fight a defensive battle...

Of the Japanese's five infantry brigades, at best there are only three left...

Among them are some wounded soldiers...

They have been dispersed to various places to form a dense protective network, the purpose is to prevent the 12th Independent Brigade from breaking through their defense line...

However, any line of defense is like a fishing net under the ruthless bombardment of artillery, torn open with a single knife...

On a high ground in Mazhuang, the Japs from the Second Infantry Battalion have already set up a position here...

A group of Japanese soldiers are digging trenches with engineering shovels...

This was something only the Eighth Route Army would do in the past...

However, it is different now.

In July and August, the weather is still very hot...

Every Japanese soldier was dripping with sweat, and the battlefield was quiet...except for the sound of shovels digging, that is, the sound of shovels digging.

"Speed ​​up...the Eighth Route Army will attack soon..."

"We need to quickly build a position..."

Ichiro Ogawa, captain of the Japanese Second Infantry Brigade, shouted loudly.

At this moment, he still held the Lieutenant Colonel's sword tightly in his hand.

"Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel... Our chances of winning this battle are not good..."

"The weapons and equipment of this group of Eighth Route Army are really good... They have been suppressing us... The round of shelling just now has killed hundreds of our Imperial soldiers..."

Said Haruka Matsui, staff officer of the 2nd Infantry Battalion.

In the decades since I came to China, I have never encountered such a powerful force.

Not only planes, but also cannons...

How could Ichiro Ogawa not know about this situation.

However, His Excellency the Brigade Commander has given the order.

Then they must execute it!

"Even if we can't fight, we still have to fight... This is the dignity of our Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade... They are just a group of untouchables... How dare they compete with the Imperial Army of Japan... "

"When we wait until reinforcements arrive, that will be the day they die!"

As soon as the Japanese staff heard what Ichiro Ogawa said, he knew that whatever he said next would be useless.

However, what they didn't know was that Wang Chengzhu and Long Wenwen had already set their sights on this place.

"Captain Wang...can your artillery hit the hill on the left?"

Long Wenwen put down the telescope.

"Captain Long...that's right...you may not know the record of our artillery regiment...basically we have never met an opponent..."

"As long as the brigade commander points us where to fight, we will fight there!"

"I never missed it!"

This is not Wang Chengzhu bragging, it is the fact.

In so many battles, the strength of Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiment was obvious to everyone.

Not only does the aviation brigade play a role, but the artillery regiment plays an even greater role.

This time Zhang Yunqing did not talk about saving artillery shells.

That's hard to beat.

Especially the 150mm caliber howitzer, a shell weighs up to 50 kilograms!

Some even weigh close to a hundred pounds...

What is the concept of 50kg...

Take out a ton, let alone whether the hill can be leveled...

Even this little devil can't bear the recoil...

"Hahaha...Captain Wang...it depends on you...as soon as you bombard them, we will send people to kill them!"

Long Wenzhang has indeed not participated in any major battles since he joined the 12th Brigade.

This time is the first time.

Therefore, he also wanted to fight against the little devil.

Because deep down, he believes that the Japanese are his enemies... and must kill them all...

Not only Long Wenwen thought this way, but also other soldiers of the German Regiment thought so...

This is the benefit of being a warrior rewarded by the system. All your thoughts are unified for you...

Soon, Wang Chengzhu's Soviet heavy artillery battalion will begin bombing...

The artillerymen sorted out the parts on the howitzer one by one...

This howitzer requires nearly 10 people to use, which is a huge workload...

It is also a test of physical strength...

"Everyone has it!"

"Prepare...release!"

Following the order from the commander of the heavy artillery battalion, all twelve Soviet 152mm howitzers fired...

The whole earth shook, as if there was an earthquake...

The Soviet-style 152mm howitzer, also called the ML-20 howitzer, is extremely powerful.

The 150mm howitzer that once easily suppressed the Germans on the Soviet-German battlefield....

It is also one of the great weapons of the Soviets.

However, now that the 12th Independent Brigade has such a thing, its role must not be wasted.

I saw dozens of artillery shells fired directly...

Falling around the Japanese camp...

"Lie down...Lie down quickly!"

Ichiro Ogawa shouted.

A shell just hit him around him. Although he was far away, he could already feel the huge shock wave...

He actually threw him to the ground...

Ogawa Ichiro's pupils kept dilating...

"Bagayalu...This is definitely not a 150mm cannon!"

"This must be a cannon with a caliber above 200mm!"

"The damn Eighth Route Army actually has such a thing!"

"Report to the brigade commander quickly!"

"The Eighth Route Army has artillery with a caliber of over 200mm! They will be able to destroy our position immediately!"

Ichiro Ogawa knows deeply that howitzers above 200mm can be called giant artillery.

Opening the city gates with one cannon is no child's play!

The words have not yet fallen.

Another round of shells came...

The Japanese camp was a mess...

Dozens of Japs were killed in this round of shelling....

"Ah...help me...my leg is broken..."

The battlefield was filled with the wails of Japanese soldiers.
