With the order of Major General Suzuki, the Yanagawa Brigade, which had been resting for half an hour, immediately began to assemble before the battle, and the artillery squadron to which the Yanagawa Brigade belonged also began artillery preparations.

In fact, Major General Suzuki did not mean to let the artillery brigade start shelling now, after all, it was only a tentative attack, and the purpose of this attack was to find out the firepower of the Chinese defenders.

More than 1,000 people of the Liuchuan Brigade bypassed the ancient mountain and rushed straight towards the main position at the Luo Wenyu Pass. Zhou Shiyu, who had already entered the position, looked through the telescope at the Japanese soldiers who were only 1,000 feet away from him and trotted forward, his face did not move.

Gan Yuanfeng, a veteran who was promoted by a sergeant to be a platoon commander beside him, licked his somewhat dry lips and muttered: "Good girl, many people, company commander, do you want to order the machine gun platoon to sweep them a few shuttles?" Definitely capable of killing a dozen. ”

The distance of 1000 feet is a little long for a Czech-made light machine gun, but for the MG42 with an extended barrel, this distance is not an unattainable distance, and with the terrifying rate of fire of the MG42, it is not too cool to strafe such a dense Japanese rank.

"Your dog's day is that dog meat can't be served on the table, just a dozen devils are considered a fart, not to mention a dozen devils, it's this brigade, the group seat doesn't pay attention to it, and the group seat wants to engage in those thousands of devils. Tell everyone, since I got on this mountain, the military merit of my death company is the first in the independent regiment, and no one can take it away, as long as I work hard with the little devil, I will ask the brothers for credit after this battle. Zhou Shiyu glanced back at his henchman and said coldly.

Without the obstruction of Zhou Shiyu, the Liuchuan Brigade easily stood 700 feet below Luo Wenyu Mountain.

As the infantry attack formation unfolded, the four Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squadron under the Yanagawa Brigade opened fire first, and in a short period of more than 10 minutes, hundreds of shells were fired at the forward company's position, and the entire position was in flames and mud splashed everywhere, but the more than 100 officers and men of the first company had already prepared and hid in the individual anti-artillery holes that had been dug in advance and reinforced with masonry and cement.

Liu Lang and Xiangqian were naturally more stable in the company headquarters reinforced with steel plates and logs, Liu Lang didn't pay attention to the artillery fire in the sky at all, and looked at the 92 infantry guns that kept spitting projectiles 1,000 feet away with a special observation scope for the infantry.

"This guy is a nice thing! However, after today, it will be my independent regiment. Liu Lang looked at the infantry cannon in the camera and muttered to himself.

It's not that Liu Lang didn't know anything, and he was salivating there when he saw an old cannon produced in the thirties of the 20th century.

As the most equipped Type 92 infantry gun of the Japanese infantry unit, it is actually an extremely excellent weapon, although its caliber is only 70MM, but the shell is not light, a high-explosive bomb weighs 3.8 kg, indicating that its power is still not small.

Of course, to say that this gun is excellent is not to say how powerful it is, because the muzzle velocity of the projectile is low, in fact, it is not very damaging to reinforced concrete fortifications.

But this guy weighs less than 500 kilograms, and there are two or three strong soldiers who can push it and go, and the firing range is very good, the lateral firing range is 90 degrees, and the high and low firing angles are also nearly 90 degrees, flat fire can be used as a cannon, curved fire can be used as a howitzer, and large elevation shooting can reach more than 80 degrees and can also be used as a mortar.

If in this era, that kind of gun is most suitable for mountain combat, it is undoubtedly the Type 92 infantry gun used by the Japanese army now, and the Republic has not used this gun in the famous defensive battle of Wusheng Mountain 20 years later.

To a certain extent, in a special battlefield like Luo Wenyu, the 92 infantry gun is more useful than the Bofors gun.

Taking advantage of the shelling, the two infantry squads of the 4th Squadron of the Yanagawa Brigade, with a total of about 100 people, quietly began to climb the mountain and moved to the front of the position.

This infantry squad is really ruthless, and it actually advanced the attack launch point to a distance of less than two hundred meters from the front line of the forward company, such a close distance, if this little devil's artillery has a mistake, the shells are very likely to blow up their own people, but it can also be seen from this that the legendary little devil's awesome infantry and artillery coordination is really not blown.

The artillery roared on the position of the independent regiment, which was only more than 200 meters away from them, but the members of the four light machine gun crews of the two infantry squads were not idle, and they quickly carried out field operations with sapper shovels on the firing positions they had found.

Each standard squad of the Japanese army is similar to a platoon of the national army, with a total of 54 people equipped with 2 machine guns, each machine gun has a commander, a shooter, and two co-shooters carrying ammunition, and 4 people dig a simple machine gun trench is still very fast.

When the shelling almost stopped, the four machine gun bunkers were basically completed, and Liu Lang, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh a little, I don't know what will happen to the Japanese army in five years, but from this period, the Japanese army is indeed the first in Asia, the quality and discipline of individual soldiers are very strong, and the cooperation between various units is also good, coupled with the absolute superiority of firepower, it is no wonder that the national army cannot be defeated.

As soon as the shelling stopped, more than 100 devil soldiers immediately rushed out from the attack point with bayonets.

By the time the officers and men of the 1st Company on the position drilled out of the anti-artillery holes and rushed into the trenches and foxholes, the devil soldiers were already within fifty meters! That's it, the forward company reacted quite quickly, if it was changed to the previous time when they were in the national army, by the time they entered the trenches, I was afraid that the devil soldiers would have already been killed under their noses!

Rushing out of the command headquarters and pulling out a pistol, he was immediately frightened out of a white sweat, and now, he has a first-hand experience of the "awesomeness" of the Kwantung Army, no wonder the fat man has always emphasized that the Kwantung Army is the most elite unit in the Japanese invaders.

If the troops that can confront the fighting nation in the northeast are not strong, it is estimated that they will have been beaten out by Lao Maozi, who is a little stronger in equipment, and the elite Kwantung Army has also been forced out.

Liu Lang still stayed in the company department, and he didn't even have the intention of holding the sniper rifle beside him, if it was just that hundreds of devils were going to dispatch him, the big master, it would be too much to look up to them.

What's more, this is the first battle between the independent regiment and the Japanese army, even if it is just a tentative attack by the devils, they have to solve it themselves, Liu Lang wants the elite on the battlefield, not the elite on the training ground.

However, the forward company was indeed worthy of the title of the first company, and in an instant, fierce gunfire rang out from the position of the first company.

The two Czech-made light machine guns at the forefront opened fire at the same time, and the devil soldiers who were rushing forward with their waists were immediately knocked down several times, and the rest of the devil soldiers immediately fell to the ground when they saw that the situation was wrong, looking for cover on the spot and firing at a company.

The four crooked light machine guns 200 meters away also opened fire at the same time, suppressing several firing points of the company.

A little farther away, several groups of Japanese troops set up grenadiers to carry out targeted killings of several light machine gun fire groups exposed by a company.

The Japanese grenadiers fired accurately, and after two consecutive rounds hit about 10 meters from the machine gun firing point, the third shot hit the machine gun position of the first company, three platoons, and one shift.

Fortunately, the machine gunner was not too stupid, and when the sand and gravel from the second grenade explosion of the Japanese army hit his body, he rolled into the trench dug deep enough with the machine gun.

Sharp battlefield instincts saved his life and also the machine gun.

But there are always unlucky people, and not everyone has the intuition of this veteran who has experienced at least a dozen battlefields.
