At this time, the artillery troops in the rear, seeing the fierce battle ahead, began to relax and became a little anxious.
At this time, after hearing Xia Yang's order, he immediately became energetic.
Under the command one after another, they began to quickly adjust the firing of the artillery. Each artillery unit also began to enter their respective combat positions.
Whether it is mountain artillery, field artillery, or howitzers, they all began to enter combat mode at this time.
¡°Load!!!¡±
The roaring sound echoed above the artillery position. These orders were relayed to all artillery units via semaphores.
All the artillerymen immediately began to load the shells into the barrels, and then fired the shells one after another under the command of "fire".
Hundreds of artillery shells were fired at the rear of the three Japanese positions.
The areas they bombarded were all Japanese reinforcement routes.
Although this kind of bombardment could not completely block the Japanese reinforcements. But it can hinder their progress very well. At this time, the two sides were in a critical stage of hand-to-hand combat. If the Japanese army's follow-up reinforcements were not sufficient, the troops fighting on the front line would begin to show signs of decline due to the gradual increase in casualties.
With the bombardment of artillery shells, the rear of the Japanese position was suddenly shrouded in smoke.
Looking at the sudden and violent bombing, Honda Ligen knew that this was the enemy's plan to block their rear reinforcement route, so that all their reserve troops could not rush to the front line of defense.
At this time, the Japanese reinforcements were indeed bombarded by them.
Amidst the bursts of loud noises, the Japanese reinforcements became difficult to move under the bombardment of artillery shells. Many troops had to choose to take a detour and send reinforcements to the front from other places.
But at this critical moment when the two sides are fighting, taking a detour for reinforcements may cause a delay of more than half an hour.
And this half-hour-long gap in reinforcements is likely to be fatal for the Japanese army.
"Order our artillery units to also start bombarding the enemy's rear. After one round of bombardment, they will immediately move and stay longer at the original artillery position." said Honda Ligen.
His purpose in doing so was, on the one hand, to create some trouble for the reinforcements behind the Fourth Army, and at the same time, he was afraid that a prolonged bombardment would expose the location of their artillery positions. As a result, one's own artillery was cleared by the enemy.
So now all the artillery units under Honda Rimoto have begun to engage in guerrilla warfare. Basically, after two artillery fires, they will change positions.
The Japanese artillery unit in the rear received the order and immediately began bombardment.
"The trajectory of the Japanese artillery was captured. Their artillery came from many places, and it is very likely that they were carrying out scattered bombardment. Immediately carry out counter-artillery bombardment to destroy their artillery positions."
The reconnaissance unit responsible for conducting counter-artillery operations quickly analyzed their ballistic trajectories and began to report to the artillery units in the rear.
After the artillery troops in the rear received the coordinates they provided, they immediately deployed part of the artillery and began to counterattack the Japanese artillery.
Their counterattack was very swift and fierce. Before many of the Japanese mountain artillery had finished firing a round, they heard a piercing whistling sound coming from far away and falling near them in the blink of an eye.
Many Japanese artillerymen who retreated slowly became dead souls under the shells in a short time. They were blown to pieces and even their intact bodies could not be found.
Because the Japanese artillery lagged behind Xia Yang's artillery in all aspects, although they also began to block the reinforcements from the rear of the Fourth Army, the effect they could produce was very limited.
At this time, in the center of the fierce battle between the two sides, the infantry units of the Fourth Army had begun to advance towards the Japanese positions. The Japanese army was still fighting with them there, but because of insufficient troops and a blow to morale, they had begun to show their defeat.
The tanks and armored vehicles in the rear had already begun to cross the anti-tank ditch filled with corpses, crushing the corpses and rushing towards the Japanese position.
Their artillery and machine guns were aimed at the Japanese troops in the rear, and they were strafed and bombarded.
Those Japanese troops were often beaten into sieves or blown to pieces before they even came into close contact with Xia Yang and his troops.
Behind them, the cavalry troops from both sides were also fighting fiercely.
But as Xia Yang's tank troops and armored troops rushed to the Japanese position, the Japanese troops on the flanks also realized that if they continued to fight, they might become the targets of those tanks and armored vehicles. .
Therefore, the Japanese cavalry troops on the flanks first asked the Japanese forward commander for instructions whether to withdraw from the battle to avoid being used by the enemy tanks and armored vehicles, and to use superior firepower to kill them.
The commanders of the Japanese army also made it very clear. Once they retreat, the enemy's cavalry will fight against the Japanese infantry from the sides and rear. By that time, their casualties will be even more severe.
Helpless, the Japanese cavalry troops could only continue to grit their teeth and hold on.
Behind them, Honda Ligen listened to the information sent in the telegram.
The Japanese army began to collapse in several frontal positions.
¡°At the beginning, this kind of collapse was just a few positions.
But with just a few positions, the enemy would use these positions to open a larger hole in the Japanese defense line.
However, the Japanese reinforcements were heavily bombarded by artillery fire and found it difficult to reach the front line for support.
"Our army's No. 5 position has been lost, and No. 7 position has been lost. The enemy's armored forces have begun to wreak havoc on the positions."
? One piece of information was passed to Honda Ligen¡¯s ears.
He looked gloomy and looked down at his watch.
It was just past one o'clock at noon. It had only been more than three hours since the enemy attacked, but their troops had already begun to collapse.
This was something Honda Ligen didn't expect. He pondered for a while, seemed to have thought of some idea, and said loudly: "Immediately pass on my order to those who had close contact with the corpses of those infected this morning. , send them to the front line immediately and let them act as death squads to fight with the enemy."
Hearing this, the Japanese staff officer next to him seemed to realize something.
He hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "General, they they haven't been confirmed to be infected yet. They just had some contact with those corpses."
Honda Ligen said: "I know, but each of them may be infected. Throw them on the battlefield on the front line, and they will have maximum contact with the enemy. That will also make the enemy infected. These terrible germs.¡± (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
