    Because the width of the Japanese army's position is only more than 300 meters, too many troops cannot be deployed, and the attack is usually at the battalion level.

    "Battle Commander Chen, did your troops find the main firepower points of the Japanese army when they attacked?" Xia Yang asked.

    Chen Zishuo took out a map. On the map were several firepower points marked by the attacking soldiers.

    "There is a machine gun group here and here. Then there are mortar positions on both wings, as well as light and heavy machine gun positions." Chen Zishuo began to mark the points one by one on the mountain ridge where the Japanese army was stationed.  correspond.

    ??

    The second round of attacks against the Japanese army started again an hour later.

    This time, in addition to an offensive combat battalion and a reserve combat battalion, there was also the rocket nest system that had just arrived.

    By then, these rocket nest systems transported here will follow the artillery regiment to carry out focused bombardment on the firepower points of the Japanese positions.

    Dachang Siping was lying in the trench, looking at the enemies slowly approaching their position, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

    Because among that group of enemies, there were some more weapons pushed on carts.  He had never seen that weapon before. It looked like a bee's nest.

    "It may be the weapon that the division commander mentioned before. It is said that that weapon caused many casualties to our army during the battle in Lingqiu County." said the staff officer next to him.

    "I heard that a single salvo can fire more than ten artillery shells, which is equivalent to the firepower of an artillery squadron." The staff officer said.

    Dachang Siping said: "I took a look just now. There are more than ten sets of those weapons on the enemy's side. It is equivalent to more than ten artillery squadrons bombarding our position at the same time."

    "That's right, no wonder the Ninth Division was completely annihilated in such a short period of time. With such a terrifying weapon, even if the commander of Jijialiang's auxiliary division is replaced by the commander of our division, it probably won't be enough.  Stay." The staff officer said.

    At this time, the rocket nest launch system has been deployed one kilometer away from the Japanese position.

    And they were all hidden behind some rocks, or in temporarily dug deep pits, which made it impossible for the Japanese mortars to carry out a good bombardment.

    They were able to violently bombard the positions of the Japanese 43rd Regiment through dense rockets launched from the rocket nests.

    A battalion led by Chen Zishuo has begun to spread out in front of the Japanese army.

    When Cai Heyuan received the attack order from Xia Yang, he immediately shouted: "Start bombarding the marked area immediately!!"

    With his order, nearly a hundred artillery pieces from the two infantry regiments immediately began to adjust the shooting angle and distance.

    "Launch!!"

    Cai Heyuan waved his big hand, and the artillery shells were fired one after another.

    With waves of roaring sounds, the soldiers of the 43rd Regiment of the Japanese Army who were still digging and deepening the trench immediately shouted and got into the trench.

    At this moment, a loud noise and rumbling explosions began to echo in the ears of these Japanese soldiers.

    Nearly a hundred artillery shells landed on the Japanese position at the same time, causing a series of explosions that directly filled the position with gunpowder smoke.

    When the artillery regiment started bombarding, the rocket nest system was not idle at this time.

    After they adjusted the shooting angle, they immediately activated the launch button.

    With the whooshing sound of rocket launches, hundreds of rockets were immediately launched onto the Japanese positions.

    Rockets and artillery shells fell intertwinedly, hitting the Japanese positions like a heavy rain.

    Such intensive firepower bombardment has never been experienced by the 43rd Regiment of the Japanese Army.  They hid in the trench, huddled up, not daring to move.

    Above their heads, the scorched earth raised by the explosion fell on their heads.

    Some shells happened to land in the trenches where they were hiding, and could directly take away the lives of many Japanese soldiers.

    The huge sound wave shook their eardrums along with the shock wave.  Some shells exploded at close range and even directly damaged their ears.??, causing them to lose their hearing.

    For these Japanese troops, this half-hour bombardment was absolutely hellish.  They had never experienced such a ferocious attack.

    Dachang Siping now understood why the Ninth Division was killed.  Such a ferocious bombardment, if there were no complete tunnel fortifications, the artillery shells alone could cause the Ninth Division to lose a lot of troops.

    Chen Zishuo and his soldiers were lying on the mountainside, waiting for the shelling to stop.

    As soon as the shelling here stops, they will immediately launch a charge and compete with the Japanese army for the top of the hill.

    Finally, after half an hour of bombardment, the Japanese soldiers struggled out of the scorched earth, and then began to carry the dropped sandbags to the front of the trench.

    Many of them were buried under the scorched earth and could never get up again.

    ¡°Many people were killed by the shock wave of artillery shells, while others were directly hit by artillery shells and rockets and were blown to pieces.

    "Machine gun!!" Dacha Siping shouted, asking his soldiers to set up the machine gun.

    But in the bombardment just now, the places where the Japanese machine gun positions existed were the areas where the bombardment was focused.  Before the charge on the Fourth Army's side had even begun, one-third of the Japanese machine guns had been damaged.

    "Charge!!"

    Chen Zishuo would not wait for the Japanese troops to pull out the machine guns from the scorched earth. The moment the bombardment stopped, they began to rush towards the top of the mountain.

    Those soldiers lying on the mountainside followed their battalion commander Chen Zishuo without saying a word and rushed towards the position of the 43rd Japanese Regiment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
