Half an hour later, all troops launched a fierce attack on Highland No. 1 at six o'clock on time according to the original plan.
"Artillery Battery 1, get ready to shoot!!!" Standing on a high place, the leading officer of the artillery battalion shouted.
"The first artillery company is ready!!!" the commander of the first company responded.
"Second Artillery Company, get ready to shoot!!!" The leading artillery officer was still shouting. He was Chen Ze, the adjutant of the artillery battalion commander Zhao Chengge.
"Second Artillery Company, ready!!!" the commander of the second company responded.
"Third Artillery Company, get ready to shoot!!!" Chen Ze was still shouting.
"The third artillery company is ready!!!" the commander of the third company responded.
"Heavy artillery platoon, get ready to fire!!!" Chen Ze turned his attention to the artillery platoon with only two guns.
Yes, that's right, those two guns are exactly 105 howitzers!
In order to complete this very important task, Zhang Tianhai was ready to resolve the first battle as quickly as possible, and then take down Nantianpu. As for the next step, it depends on the arrangement of his superiors.
Even if it was to fight Zhang Gushan, Zhang Tianhai was willing to do it, but he didn't want to fight Zhang Gushan.
Why don’t you want to fight Zhang Gushan? That's because this battle is Zhang Lingfu's battle to become famous. If he participates in this battle, there is no doubt that it will objectively change history. This is not what he wants to see.
"Heavy artillery platoon, ready!!!" the heavy artillery platoon leader responded loudly.
"There are still five minutes left. Listen to my order. In five minutes, we will immediately bombard Highland No. 1!!" Zhao Chengge, commander of the artillery battalion, continued.
Everything is ready, and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment are already armed with live ammunition, and even the vanguard has set off.
"Attention all troops, the main attack this time is with the first company as the main force, the second and third companies as the supplement, and the machine gun battery to suppress the firepower on the opposite side!" Lu Shaojie was worried and warned again.
Due to the sneak attack last night, the Japanese army had increased their vigilance, and almost all the troops did not get a rest.
However, the consequences of this are also very serious - the little devils are really tired and they really want to rest.
After a night of tossing, the Japanese troops on Highland No. 1 had just dawned, but they were already in the most sleepy state.
"The horse dung on the other side is really unstoppable." One of the young Japanese soldiers said to a veteran next to him.
The veteran next to him said: "Wait a minute, our enemies will launch a fierce attack soon. According to my estimation, these Chinese troops who came to attack last night are the vanguard of the troops that will attack today, and they are their Elite.”
"Mr. Dahe, since the enemy troops who came to attack last night are already their vanguard and elite troops, I think their combat effectiveness is not as strong as this unit last night, right?" said the young Japanese soldier.
The veteran named "Dahe" smiled bitterly and said: "You think, since their vanguard troops are already so powerful, even if their follow-up troops are not so powerful, they will definitely not be any worse."
After hearing this, the young Japanese soldier said: "It seems that we have encountered a strong enemy. It seems that we will not be able to return to our hometown after this battle."
As soon as the young Japanese soldier finished speaking, a shell passed through the air and hit the position hard.
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
The soil is flying, and the smell of death is everywhere, making people feel like their eardrums are deafening.
However, this is just the beginning.
More artillery shells hit Highland No. 1, and the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment were also marching to Highland No. 1, preparing to fight!
Fortunately, the Japanese army did not have any landmines at this time, otherwise this would definitely be a nightmare for the national army.
The power of fourteen artillery pieces is quite powerful, especially when coupled with two 105 heavy cannons, it becomes even more powerful.
Three rapid-fire rounds, which add up to forty-two shells.
The entire hilltop was bombarded by artillery fire from the First Guard Regiment. Where had these Japanese troops ever been attacked by such fierce enemy artillery fire?
You know, let alone whether the Chinese army's artillery fire is fierce or not, let's talk about being bombarded. Since entering the Chinese battlefield, they have never been bombarded by the Chinese army.
But now? It seemed that everything had changed, and the Chinese army actually started shelling them.
Shells blasted the hilltop one after another, and the officers and soldiers of the police regiment and battalion began to get closer and closer to the hilltop. The officers and soldiers of the machine gun company began to aim towards the mountain.
Four heavy machine guns and two mortars were already aimed at the location where a breakthrough was about to open.
Unlike the Secret Service Company, which was powerful enough to attack in platoon units, the First Battalion's combat effectiveness was not as strong as that of the Secret Service Company, so they had to concentrate on one point to open a gap on the opposite side.
"rush!!!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Shaojie waved his hand, and the bugler next to him immediately stood up and began to blow the horn.
"Da da da da~ da da da da da-"
The melodious sound of horns resounded through the mountains and forests. Under the sunshine, hundreds of soldiers of the national army launched an attack, and the sound of killing was loud.
Hearing this melodious and exciting horn sound, the Japanese army finally knew that their enemy was close at hand, so they hurriedly picked up their weapons and prepared to fight to the death with the rushing National Army troops.
But when they rushed to the combat post, a burst of machine gun bullets swept in front of them and flew over their heads. Occasionally, one or two bullets hit the helmets of some unlucky Japanese soldiers, and one or two were imprinted on them. If there is a hole, he will die immediately.
"Quick! The Chinese army is coming up. Hurry up and get support and get to your posts immediately!" Junior officers of the Japanese army were shouting, because the enemy's firepower was so intense that they could hardly lift their heads!
Under the suppression of this burst of machine gun fire, the national army was approaching Highland No. 1 step by step. Fortunately, the slope of the Highland was not too steep, otherwise it would have been very difficult to climb, let alone attack the opposite side with a gun.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy has already attacked. All our troops have pressed past. We hope to block their offensive momentum!" A Japanese officer ran over and reported.
"That's all." After saying that, Ozawa took out his dog-skin plaster bandana that was ready for the final battle.
From the shelling just now, Ozawa Nami has realized that this highland must not be able to be defended. Since the enemy has artillery units and large-caliber heavy artillery, their ordinary troop equipment must be Not bad.
As for combat effectiveness, Ozawa will not question the opponent's combat effectiveness. From the combat effectiveness of the small unit that came for a sneak attack last night, it can be seen that the enemy they face must be very powerful.
Since they no longer have any confidence in guarding the position, they might as well have a chic decisive battle, leave this world in the most honorable way, and tell their friendly forces that they have encountered a strong enemy!
"All personnel in the command center! Prepare for the final battle immediately!!!" Ozawa Langmi shouted loudly, full of madness.
