    But just as these Japanese infantry advanced several hundred meters, they suddenly heard a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound coming from above their heads.

    They were very familiar with that sound, because these soldiers who had fought in the southern Shanxi area had been bombarded by the 155-caliber howitzers equipped by He Changxing and Wei Xing's troops.

    When they heard the sound again at this time, they thought that the troops from southern Shanxi were chasing after them again.

    "The enemy's heavy artillery!! Pay attention to concealment!!!"

    The Japanese commander at the front reacted quickly and yelled immediately.

    Those Japanese soldiers subconsciously fell to the ground.

    Almost at the same moment, those sharp and whistling artillery shells crashed to the ground, violently bombarding the Japanese charging troops and their rear positions.

    Okamura Neiji was originally observing the charge on the high slope, but the sharp whistling of the artillery shells made the soldiers protecting him next to him immediately push him to the ground, and then began to be violently bombarded by the artillery shells.  Climb to the trench not far away.  His appearance can be described as very embarrassing.

    The artillery of three howitzer regiments launched a fierce bombardment at the Japanese army here at the same time.

    The Japanese army's originally very crude defensive positions did not have much ability to resist artillery fire.

    At this time, the artillery shells fell and exploded a large crater on the ground. The soil thrown up by the explosion even buried many Japanese soldiers alive under the soil.

    The broken shrapnel was like a flying sharp blade, tearing the skin of a large number of Japanese soldiers, biting off their muscles, and even tearing through their internal organs.

    Okamura Neiji was pinned down by his subordinates, feeling the vibrations from the earth.  This was the first time he saw the power of enemy artillery bombardment.

    For him, such a ferocious artillery bombardment seemed to be beyond his understanding.

    It was also at this time that he understood why Itagaki Seishiro was finally defeated and died in battle.  Because such an enemy with fierce firepower and fierce fighting skills is indeed very difficult to deal with.

    The Japanese charging troops at the front were more miserable than the troops at the rear.

    Because the troops in the rear still have simple trenches to protect them from shrapnel.

    But these charging troops did not have many bunkers.

    There were many of them, even five or six people, huddled in a shell crater to avoid the bombardment.

    Some of the Japanese soldiers hiding in the shell craters were lucky enough to be able to avoid the damage of the shells through the cover of the shell craters.

    But some were very unlucky. Five or six Japanese soldiers in one of the craters were directly wiped out by a falling artillery shell, leaving nothing behind.

    For those Japanese troops who were bombarded, the battlefield at this time was no different from purgatory.  And they were all secretly praying that those damn cannonballs would not fall on their heads.

    The long artillery bombardment gradually ended. The Japanese soldiers shook off the scorched earth on their heads and climbed out of the ground or the bomb crater with difficulty.

    But at this moment, there was a cry of killing in their ears.

    The cry of killing came from behind the smoke that had not yet dissipated, with a murderous intent that passed through their ears like flying shrapnel.

    "Nani?"

    The Japanese army, which had been bombarded by artillery shells for most of the day, was still in a daze.  Some are confused about the situation.

    And at this moment, a cheek full of blood rushed out of the smoke and suddenly appeared in front of the first Japanese soldier.

    Before the Japanese soldier could react, the bayonet had already been stabbed at him.

    ¡°Pfft!!!¡±

    The blade pierced the clothes and skin, directly penetrating the Japanese soldier's internal organs.

    He covered the wound with both hands, as if to stop the sharp bayonet from continuing to penetrate his body.

    But all this was in vain. The bayonet penetrated his body without any obstruction, and then was quickly pulled out, bringing out half of his severed intestines.

    Behind him, more soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army broke through the barrier of gunpowder smoke and charged towards the bombarded Japanese troops.

    "Enemy!!!"

    The Japanese commander shouted, wiped the blood from his face, held the command knife tightly in both hands, and fought towards them.

    Soldiers from both sides immediately fought fiercely.

    On both wings, Kong Jie and Ma Siyuan commandedThe troops were making rapid detours and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions from both wings.

    On the Japanese position, they were still a little unable to react to the violent bombing just now.

    Many people had just been pulled out from the scorched earth by their comrades, and their bodies were covered with mud.

    "General, the enemy's offensive troops have been discovered on both wings of our army, and they are approaching our camp."

    A Japanese staff officer with his face covered in blood ran over and said to Neji Okamura, whose face was covered with cannon fodder.

    Okamura Neiji had just been dug out of the soil by his subordinates at this time. He patted the soil off his body and said: "The enemy launched an attack on our army?"

    "Yes, General, the enemy did launch an attack on our army." The staff officer said with certainty.

    Okamura Neji roared and sat up from the ground, then pulled out the command sword from his waist and said: "Organize defense, enter the position immediately, organize defense."

    In fact, without his orders, the Japanese frontline commanders also began to organize their soldiers to enter the bombarded defensive positions that were riddled with holes.

    As soon as they entered the position, the heavy machine guns of the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army began to roar.

    Not only the heavy machine guns, but also their rocket nests were bombarding the Japanese positions with a "swish, swish, swish" sound.

    The intensive firepower formed by more than a dozen heavy machine guns covered the Japanese position in an instant.

    Those Japanese troops who had just entered the position were immediately suppressed by the intensive and fierce firepower and were unable to lift their heads.

    "The enemy's firepower is fierce, please request mortar support from the rear."

    Japanese commanders at the front used walkie-talkies to contact the mortar units in the rear, and some directly contacted the field artillery units in the rear.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
