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

He knew how many men the independent column had now...a division must have at least 30,000 people.

Moreover, these 30,000 people are much better armed than them.

They still use rifles made in Hanyang or Jin... But the independent columns now use so-called automatic rifles and semi-automatic rifles that have never been seen before.

The firepower was not ordinary... coupled with the tanks and artillery of the First Division of the Independent Column that we had seen in Taiyuan City. Du Qingsheng is also looking forward to joining hands with the independent column to fight the Japanese!

He also did not expect... that he would be the first large unit of the Shanxi-Sui Army to fight with the Independent Column... Even Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Brigade who is closest to Xiyang County, the headquarters of the Independent Column, did not receive this treatment. !

"The division commander... The Third Brigade of the Independent Column said... he can let us wait for a while... to attract the attention of the Japanese..."

"Founding in the east and attacking in the west...their three infantry brigades simultaneously fought against the Japanese 21st Division from three directions...supporting our Ninth Group Army..."

"And... at least one armored regiment is coming this time... The artillery seems to have brought one or two artillery regiments... Let us rest assured."

Colonel Rao Li graduated from the Jin Provincial Military Academy, and he was in the same class as Du Qingsheng, the commander of the 72nd Division in front of him... At least within the Ninth Army, most officers basically graduated from the Jin Provincial Military Academy.

Because Sun Ke is Yan Xisan's confidant... So Sun Ke's troops must also be confidant troops... Then they must use people they can trust.

The good news should not go to outsiders... They are in such a situation now. They basically select talents from the martial arts hall.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is also very good.

"Armored regiment? Artillery regiment?"

"Okay... okay... the more the merrier... People say that our 72nd Division is the biological son of Commander Yan... they allocate so much ammunition to us every time."

"As everyone knows...there are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains...In this comparison...we are like little cabbage...it will be gone if we boil it."

This battle also made Du Qingsheng know that there was still a big gap between the weapons and equipment of his troops compared with the Japanese. The ammunition supply route could still provide supplementary supplies.

Since the route in Yangcheng was occupied by the Japanese, their supply routes have become much fewer.

All the supply routes of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army in the entire Yuanqu area have been occupied by the Japanese... which has also led to the current fatigue of the battle... which is very detrimental to them.

"There is one more thing...that is over at Yuanqu...the Second Division of the Independent Column has also slowly occupied..."

"It is estimated... that in another day or two... the situation on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi will be revitalized..."

"By then... our Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army... together with the independent column... will be able to turn defeat into victory!"

When Rao Liyi said this, his tone was very serious and full of hope. This had been going on for a long time.

Except for a slight advantage at the beginning... as the war progressed.

The gap between them and the Japanese is getting wider and wider.

"The soldiers and horses have not yet used the food and fodder... The independent column still has more capable people... Once the Yuanqu side is clear... we don't have to be constrained by the lack of ammunition and food..."

"Fight... then fight a protracted war! Even if you delay... you can drag the Japanese to death! They want to occupy the entire southwestern Shanxi area..."

"Then we must step over our corpses!"

At this time, everyone was already furious... Although Du Qingsheng was a member of the Jinsui Army, this was his hometown in Jin Province!

Thousands of fellow Shanxi Province residents are looking at their troops... It is their duty to protect their home and country... Bloody Chinese people... Chinese soldiers must protect their homes!

"How many more cannons are there in the artillery unit?"

Du Qingsheng asked from the side.

"Reporting to the division commander... there are still 17 small mountain guns... enough for us to launch a bombardment..."

"In addition... our army's artillery regiment is also nearby... we can let them also carry out shelling..."

The nearby artillery regiment was specially sent by Sun Ke to provide support.

Basically, they are mainly small mountain guns, but there are also 105mm caliber howitzers, only three.

However, it’s still pretty good, and it’s better than nothing.

"Give me my order...gather all the artillerymen...let me blast the hell out of you..."

"Twenty minutes... I will make them unable to hit even a hair! Still thinking of taking us down... is simply a wishful thinking! Tell the brothers... you must be able to withstand it..."

"The independent column troops are coming soon... By then, the little devil will die!"

Du Qingsheng looked resolute... He must take down this Japs!

Ever since, under the order of the commander of the 72nd Division, the artillery units below him began to violently attack the Japanese attacking troops.

The other units of the Ninth Army also knew that the independent column was coming.

All the cannons were ready to deal with the Japanese, and the soldiers were very excited.

The Japanese artillery troops were not to be outdone... they directly gathered all the artillery from their artillery regiments and various infantry regiments.

Unified bombing...

"Everyone on your position...ready...release!"

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

The cannons on the Japanese side were the first to attack... They also had more cannons.

Among them are several 105mm caliber howitzers, as well as 150mm caliber howitzers....

Therefore, this power is relatively powerful, overwhelming the artillery fire of the Ninth Army, plus the tanks charging in front.

It feels a bit overwhelming.

Little did they know...this was also their last charge.

Because the first division of troops has arrived.

Not far away... part of the artillery unit of the 1st Division has been assembled.

First of all, it is this rocket launcher unit!

I took out 12 Katyusha rocket launchers directly!

12 Type 63 rocket launchers...

Equipped with 5 rounds of cannonballs....

Prepare to carry out a devastating attack on the Japanese positions!

At the same time, cannons of various calibers were prepared in various places.

75 70mm and 42mm caliber infantry guns are ready....

There are also 75 36mm caliber field guns!
