Chapter 671: Contraction of the Formation

According to the rules of the battlefield, the Terauchi family believed that the sparse sound of artillery was a signal for the Chinese infantry to attack.

Also, in the Terauchi family's impression, the Chinese army had very few artillery.

What made him despise was that most of the Chinese troops did not know how to coordinate infantry and artillery at all.

In other words, before the artillery stopped bombarding, the infantry of the Chinese army would not launch a charge.

They did a good job in this regard.

Also, the infantry could charge forward along the landing point of the shells. This was not good coordination between infantry and artillery. What else could it be considered?

"Yoshi!"

Thinking that he had discovered the battle deployment of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Terauchi family was very excited.

He automatically ignored the fact that three artillery squadrons and the only artillery battalion were crippled, and once again issued an order for a general attack to the three infantry battalions.

Of course, before this, the entire Yanagawa Shoko squad was killed, which was also actively ignored by the Terauchi family.

In order to gain merit and be rewarded, the Terauchi family planned to climb up all the way on the corpses of his subordinates.

Therefore, before the artillery unit was wiped out, the three Japanese battalions took on their roles.

According to the order of the Terauchi family, one battalion was responsible for the frontal assault, and the other two battalions were responsible for the flanking.

Their target was the Senkawa Shiro unit.

The Terauchi family had already thought about it. The front was the artillery unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

There must be a lot of infantry behind the reverse slope hill to protect them.

The most important thing is that once the artillery unit is found to be in danger, the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will come to rescue.

At that time, the Terauchi family believed that even if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had a division of troops, it would not be enough for his three infantry battalions to fight.

"Kill the chickens!"

Under the watchful eyes of the Terauchi family, the three Japanese infantry battalions set off.

Of course, to prevent accidents, the Terauchi family contacted the reconnaissance plane again.

The pilot immediately told the Terauchi family that he had not found the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

After thinking about it, the Terauchi family believed that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army should hide in other reverse slope positions.

Moreover, the nearby dense forests may hide the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Also, the Terauchi family was frightened by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army's running fire, and felt a little bit of a threat.

For this reason, he urgently notified the three infantry battalion captains and asked them to pay close attention to the dense forests and bushes in front.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

The situation did not proceed according to the Terauchi family's deduction. At this moment, the 20 Type 92 infantry guns of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army once again started a saturation attack!

"Boom boom boom..."

It must be said that at this time, the formations of the three infantry battalions were all marching formations, without pulling apart.

In this way, facing the overwhelming dense artillery fire, the Terauchi family regiment suffered heavy losses.

Whenever a shell fell into the crowd, a large number of people would be killed or injured.

For a time, blood mist filled the air, broken limbs flew everywhere, and wailing was endless.

In this situation, Terauchi said that his lungs were about to explode.

Yes, the main force died before the battle was won. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how could he not be angry?

It was still the Qianchuan Zilang Battalion that made the move.

According to Ye Tian's prior order, after dealing with the Japanese artillery, they should immediately adjust the muzzle and calculate the shooting parameters.

Waiting for the moment when the Japanese army charged, they would immediately play another wave of intensive and rapid shooting.

"Disperse!"

"Machine gun squadron!"

"Fight back!"

Suffering such a heavy blow, Terauchi was still dumbfounded and speechless, but the three Japanese captains did not forget to order their subordinates.

What made the three Japanese captains depressed was that since the artillery position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was on the reverse slope, although their subordinates fought back desperately, there was no effect.

The reason is very simple. The artillery of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army hid on the reverse slope position and could bombard them by upward shooting.

The Japanese's heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and Type 38 rifles are all direct-fire weapons.

Of course, the Japanese did not fail to consider this and took emergency plans.

It's very simple. They all aimed their guns at the air, thinking of using these direct-fire weapons as indirect-fire weapons.

As you can imagine, this requires too high marksmanship and gun sense.

Even if the Japanese have strong military literacy, they don't have the ability to play like this.

In fact, the Japanese's grenade launchers are known as micro-mortars and can also be indirect fire.

However, the effective range of the grenade launcher is only 500 meters.

And the reverse slope position is 1,500 meters away.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Under the orders of the three infantry captains, the Japanese did want to disperse.

Unfortunately, the Japanese were blinded by the shells and became headless flies, only knowing to flee to a safe place.

So, under the threat of dense shells, the Japanese not only did not disperse, but on the contrary, they were in a shrinking formation mode.

What they didn't know was that this was all the result of Ye Tian's deliberate actions.

In other words, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army slightly adjusted the shooting parameters, it would definitely increase the lethality.

In fact, the target of their artillery fire was only the marginal area of ​​the Japanese army.

As worthy of being the commander of the regiment, Terauchi family keenly discovered these.

Seeing this, Terauchi family was shocked.

"Kill the chickens!"

Without hesitation, Terauchi family once again issued an attack order to the three captains.

In doing so, Terauchi family had two purposes.

First, it can disperse the troops, thus reducing casualties.

Second, it can get as close as possible to the enemy's artillery, so as to surround and destroy them.

It must be said that because of telephone and telegraph communication, the communication of the Japanese troops is very smooth, and the order is conveyed quickly.

After receiving the order, the three captains did not dare to neglect it and hurried to execute the order.

So, under the orders of the three captains, the less than 3,000 Japanese soldiers left in the three battalions immediately began to disperse and transfer.

Just like before, the 20 Type 92 infantry guns continued to bombard the marginal areas of these Japanese soldiers.

And these Japanese soldiers, under the orders of their respective leaders, wanted to disperse as much as possible.

Unfortunately, at this moment, another change occurred!

It turned out that under the leadership of a twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun and a single-barreled anti-aircraft machine gun, 10 Type 92 heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire.

The target of these weapons was not elsewhere, but the Japanese soldiers who were trying to disperse.

These 12 powerful weapons, divided into two groups, were in a commanding position, constantly harvesting the lives of the Japanese.

Affected by this, the less than 3,000 Japanese had to retreat again.

It must be said that the Japanese were really good at fighting and had a fearless character.

They were so passive, but they were not surprised but happy.

Yes, just now we could not see the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, so we could only passively take the beating.

This is a different time.

Now we can finally face each other, and it is still unknown who will win!
