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

"Also... let the puppet military division have a good rest... wait until tomorrow and continue southward..."

"This bunch of puppet troops... have really high combat effectiveness... much stronger than the traitors we saw in central China..."

"It was actually able to fight back and forth with the Central Army... without falling behind."

"Go back...send them some equipment, seven or eight Type 2 heavy machine guns and two Type infantry cannons..."

"Since he has worked so hard, the Imperial Japanese Army must not treat him badly."

Sakurai Sho, commander of the 33rd Division, said with a smile.

"Hi... Your Excellency, Division Commander."

.......

While Sakurai Province was talking and laughing here, the troops of the Second Division outside Yangcheng County had already assembled.

Both artillery regiments were ready.

The rocket launcher unit did not participate in the battle....

However, the howitzer battalion of the Second Division's artillery regiment participated in this battle.

44 105mm caliber howitzers and 26 150mm caliber howitzers are ready.

At the same time, hundreds of cannons with calibers ranging from 70mm to 100mm are also ready.

"Everyone is at your position...first round of test shots...three...two...one...release!"

The commander of the heavy artillery regiment gave the order.

All the artillery attacked at the same time.

The shells were like a vast sea of ​​smoke... drawing beautiful arcs in the sky...

It looks like a parabola... and it falls in the Yangcheng area.

This is just a test firing... We don't yet know where the shell can land... However, based on the feeling, these artillerymen can almost know it.

Although they are seven or eight kilometers away from Yangcheng County...but they still have the hard power.

Nearly a hundred shells were fired, and about a quarter of them hit in the first round...

The Japanese's 1st Infantry Regiment was the largest attack site.

Mainly, they are too close to Yangcheng County.

The main target of the artillery regiment's attack is Yangcheng County.

Boom boom boom....boom boom boom....

The artillery position fired a round, and the whole earth was trembling.

The ground was filled with dust that had just been shaken up... Every artillery soldier was shocked.

However, it did not take a few steps back... but continued with the next round of bombardment.

Artillery shells fell one after another in the Japanese regiment and Yangcheng County.

On the Japs Alliance side, hundreds of Japs were killed on the spot.

They were still resting... After several days of fighting, these little devils were a little tired.

In addition, the food is not as good as before... and the recovery of physical strength is slower.

When a large group of Japanese soldiers were resting, shells fell one after another around them... setting off bursts of sparks...

Along with this, the entire camp was shaking.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of little devils were blown into the sky, and then fell heavily.

This is only a small aspect... The most important thing is that several Japanese soldiers' heads were blown off on the spot.

"Not good...someone attacked our camp..."

"Look for cover quickly...find cover quickly..."

"Find out where the shot was fired!"

The Japanese captain ran out of a house in a panic and watched huge artillery shells falling around him.

I immediately felt bad... This must be a large force sneaking up on them.

The power of this kind of artillery shell would require a group army to have it!

Therefore, the order was immediately ordered to retreat...wait until the enemy's artillery fire disappears, and then the infantry regiment will come out.

The Japanese were panicking one by one, and hurriedly found hiding places under the bombardment. They wanted to avoid the attack of the artillery shells, but the entire Yangcheng had been locked down.

Where else can you escape?

Stop it...there are independent columns outside!

Just a simple bombing has already overwhelmed the little devils. They had been fighting with the 14th Army for a long time and were exhausted.

Now, being bombarded like this...I was a little anxious immediately.

The division commander Sakurai Province even felt the spinning feeling in Yangcheng County.

"Nani! Who is bombarding... Who is bombarding!"

Sakurai cursed and ran out of the temporary headquarters. His eyes widened when he saw artillery shells falling from time to time around him.

"Bagaya Road...are the Central Army troops coming back again! This group of cunning Central Army troops, we haven't gone south yet, they actually dare to attack us..."

"What do the reconnaissance troops do? Such fierce artillery fire... there must be a lot of cannons, and they didn't even notice it! Damn it!"

"Come back when the battle is over and engage in military law!"

When Sakurai Province saw this situation, he began to curse angrily.

They don't blame the Sakurai Province for scolding. They basically focus all their energy on attacking the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. Who cares about the east side of southwest Shanxi.

Except for some senior officials of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army who knew that the Independent Corps had arrived, the Japanese didn't know anything about it.

What's more, the military uniforms worn by the soldiers of this independent column are basically modified German combat uniforms. They are different from the military uniforms of other troops. The Japanese will not know which troop they belong to.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander...the puppet army division on the west side was bombarded...the east wing was also bombarded..."

"Especially the infantry wing on the east side, they were more severely bombarded..."

"At the very least...at least there must be dozens of howitzers!"

The Japanese deputy came in a hurry.

"Nani? Dozens of howitzers! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Where did the Central Army get so many artillery shells! Where did the Central Army get so many howitzers!"

"They must have misunderstood...order the troops...to adjust their status as soon as possible and face the enemy. I would like to see if the Central Army is up to something! They want to go against our Empire of Japan... You must pay the price in blood!"

The battlefield on the west side.

The 1st Puppet Division also suffered a fierce attack.

However, they were not just bombarded.

Because the Second Division and Third Brigade of the Independent Column have already touched down.

And are ready to fight it.

"Report to the brigade commander... All three brigades have been prepared..."

"36 tanks of the nd Armored Battalion..."

"Mortar battalion, 16 120mm caliber mortars..."

"75 24mm caliber infantry guns..."

"75 16mm field guns..."

"105 16mm caliber howitzers..."
