Wang Haitao's cavalry division had already arrived in Nanzhuang Village, and thousands of galloping war horses caused a loud noise, and all the soldiers in the trenches were alarmed.

The soldiers quickly moved into their own positions, and the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers were all set up.

The puppet cavalry did not hide their whereabouts, and in Suzuki Kenji's battle plan, the puppet cavalry was to act as a feint to attract the defenders' firepower.

The 1st Brigade, led by Kenji Suzuki, was the real main attacking force, and after the cavalry attracted the fire of the defenders, they would suddenly launch a fierce attack from the right side of Nanzhuang Village.

THE ARTILLERY SQUADRON DIRECTLY UNDER THE WING ASSIGNED TO THE PUPPET CAVALRY DIVISION HAS ALREADY LAUNCHED AN OPERATION, AND FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS HAVE BEEN ERECTED BY THE ARTILLERYMEN.

The artillerymen began to bombard the targets marked on the map, and after the four mountain guns adjusted their angles, they began to roar.

The artillery squadron directly under the Japanese wing is equipped with a 41-type mountain gun, which is very light in weight and can be pushed around by two soldiers.

When necessary, this mountain artillery can directly enter the front line, and when used as an anti-aircraft gun, it can directly bombard light and heavy machine gun fire points.

Of course, if the mountain artillery wants to go to the front line, it will have to take a great risk, so that the Japanese artillery will not work so hard for the puppet army.

At this time, the artillery wing was four thousand meters away from Nanzhuang Village, and they set up artillery positions on the high ground.

Four mountain guns began to fire blasting shells, one by one falling on the fortifications behind the trenches, producing a loud explosion.

Because the traitors provided a lot of information about Nanzhuang Village, the Japanese army had a general understanding of the fortifications of Nanzhuang Village.

The artillerymen began to shoot according to the pre-standard shooting elements, and one shell after another hit the fortifications, and they wanted to destroy them.

Because the Japanese artillery knew very well that what was hidden in these fortifications was light and heavy machine guns, which would cause great casualties to the Japanese troops.

As for the soldiers and squad light machine guns in the trenches, the Japanese artillery ignored them for the time being, and they didn't care how much of a threat these firepower would pose to the puppet cavalry.

After a round of test firing, the Japanese artillerymen again slightly adjusted the angle, and they launched the shelling again.

In the past, it was inevitable that there would be a gap in the firing of the Japanese artillery, but this time there was no gap in their shooting, and the shells were smashed on the fortifications very accurately.

The fortifications behind the trenches were equipped with grenadiers and heavy machine guns, and at this time Shi personally led a platoon of machine gun companies stationed in the frontal fortifications, and quickly evacuated the fortifications, and the soldiers carried three Makqin heavy machine guns and hurriedly left the fortifications.

The two grenadier squads and six grenadiers also quickly shifted their positions to prevent the grenadiers from being destroyed by Japanese shells.

With the continuous firing of the Japanese artillery, the fortifications of Rao is cement and steel buildings also began to collapse.

Fortunately, the soldiers evacuated in time, and there were no casualties, but because of the Japanese artillery attack, the heavy machine guns and grenadiers could only temporarily retreat and set up positions.

The firing of the four Japanese mountain guns lasted for ten minutes, and the heavy machine gun fortifications behind the frontal trenches in Nanzhuang Village were completely destroyed.

The trenches did not suffer any damage, but all the fortifications leading to the village from the trenches were destroyed, and once the Japanese occupied the trenches, they were able to enter the village without any blows, and the heavy machine guns and grenadiers originally deployed here could not provide better fire support.

The situation was immediately reported to Sun Weiguo's ears at the headquarters, and after hearing the report of the signal soldier, Sun Weiguo stared at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Weiguo, things are a little abnormal, all the fortifications behind the trenches have been accurately hit, even if the Japanese artillery shooting skills are very strong, but to say that all of them are destroyed, this is really an exaggeration, unless they have received the prepared information in advance."

Shen Wei, the political commissar of the county brigade, was also in the command headquarters, she looked at Sun Weiguo and said with a solemn face.

"Indeed, it was impossible for Japanese artillery to do this without accurate intelligence. Now that the fortifications behind the trenches have been destroyed, heavy machine guns and grenadiers have temporarily set up positions in the fortifications at the head of the village, so that they are some distance from the trenches, and their fire support will be greatly reduced. Sun Weiguo stared at the map of Nanzhuang Village and said in a solemn tone.

The outer trenches of Nanzhuang Village and the machine-gun fortifications behind the trenches, which were the first-line positions set up by Sun Weiguo.

There are a large number of fortified pillboxes at the head of the surrounding villages, which are the second line positions set up by Sun Weiguo.

The village of Nanzhuang Village is the third line position set up by Sun Weiguo, when the Japanese army enters the village, it means that the time for the final decisive battle has come.

Now that most of the fortifications in the first-line positions have been destroyed, and the heavy machine guns and grenadiers have to be withdrawn to the second-line positions, Sun Weiguo's mood is not very good.

"The main direction of the Japanese puppet army's attack will definitely still be on the front, let's continue to invest troops in the frontal position." Fan Shuming suggested softly.

With the expansion of the county brigade this time, almost everyone's positions have been promoted, and Wang Erzhu has served as the platoon commander of the guard communication platoon.

But Fan Shuming didn't have any position, he followed behind Shen Wei all day long, and the county team almost regarded him as a transparent person, but he always felt that he was the number one person.

"Wang Erzhu, immediately connect the phone from the front trenches, I want to talk to the second company commander." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

Last time in the battle to annihilate the Ueda Kakuei Brigade, the county brigade captured four telephones, which were arranged by Sun Weiguo in the first part of the command headquarters, two in the front-line trenches, and the remaining one in the second-line position.

After hearing Sun Weiguo's order, Wang Erzhu immediately dialed the phone in the front line trench.

"Hey, this is the headquarters, let the second company commander answer the phone." The phone was quickly connected, and Wang Erzhu immediately shouted through the microphone.

"I'm a long-range battle of the second company." Cheng Zhan's voice soon came from the phone, and Wang Erzhu immediately handed the microphone to Sun Weiguo on the bed.

"Cheng Zhan, I'm Sun Weiguo, what's the current situation, have you found any Japanese troops?" Sun Weiguo took the microphone, and he immediately asked.

"Battalion commander, no Japanese troops have been found yet, all of them are cavalry units of the puppet army, these cavalry are not like the previous cavalry collective charge, they are scattered in front of the trenches, once we use light machine gun strikes, we will be attacked by Japanese artillery, there are currently three machine gun fortifications have been destroyed, fortunately, the retreat is timely, no casualties have been caused." Cheng Zhan immediately reported on the situation at the front.

After Sun Weiguo heard Cheng Zhan's report, he immediately looked at the trenches on the other three fronts in Nanzhuang Village.

"Signal soldiers, immediately go and inform Chen Yang, the commander of the third company, and ask them to strengthen their vigilance, the main direction of the Japanese army's attack is very likely not to be in the front but on the flank." Sun Weiguo said solemnly.
