    ¡°Kill!!¡± The staff officer¡¯s translation was concise and to the point.

    After hearing this, Yamada Tetsujiro nodded secretly, and then said: "It seems that the enemy's will to resist is also very determined. It just so happens that a strong opponent can build a strong army. Order the troops and prepare to attack."

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The staff officer of the 41st Wing said loudly.

    Although the Japanese troops encountered mortar bombardment at the beginning, there were dozens of casualties.  However, this unit is very disciplined and organized. After simple adjustments, it has stabilized its morale and begun to prepare for the attack.

    " Sanchongling is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is not a simple sentence.  The group of bunkers here and the defense lines built according to the mountain topography will make it very difficult for any troops to attack.

    In front of the first ridge of Sanchong Ridge, there is still a relatively open area. Even the large forest that originally existed here was cleared by Xia Yang overnight.  The purpose was to prevent Japanese troops from passing through the woods to block the sight of machine gunners and mortar shooters.

    Now the Japanese offensive troops were basically completely exposed to the machine gun fire and mortar fire from above.

    The frontal attack width of the first mountain ridge of Sanchong Ridge is actually only more than 500 meters. The main force of their fifth division is tens of thousands, but with an attack width of more than 500 meters, they can deploy only  Thousands of people.

    The Japanese Army¡¯s 41st Regiment, with more than 2,000 people, basically covered all offensive areas during offensive deployment.  Including the bunker groups on both wings and the front bunker group, they are all within the scope of their attack.

    Yamada Tetsujiro's troops have begun to conduct reconnaissance, analyzing the terrain in front of the first mountain ridge, as well as possible firepower points.  They decided to let the artillery bombard them first.

    Of course, the artillery bombarded this time was not their 60-meter mountain artillery. This kind of mountain artillery was not powerful enough and the damage it could cause was very limited.  What they want to call is the support of the heavy artillery troops in the rear of the Japanese army.

    Among the Japanese heavy artillery regiments, one heavy artillery regiment was used directly to support the frontal attack of the Fifth Division. The caliber of its artillery was much larger than that of mountain artillery and field artillery.  But because the artillery was too big, there was no way to follow the attacking troops into Taibai Mountain.

    This kind of heavy artillery can only be transported by car, and it is difficult for a horse-drawn carriage to pull it.

    At this time, the Japanese heavy artillery regiment was already ready for battle.

    The artillery scouts in front quickly determined the coordinates of Xia Yang's three main positions on the first mountain ridge, and then reported these coordinates to the heavy artillery regiment in the rear.

    After receiving the accurate coordinates, they immediately began to adjust the firing angle of the artillery.

    ¡°First shot, correct the trajectory!!¡± the Japanese commander shouted.

    Soon, the first round of bombardment began.

    The Japanese artillery is well-trained, their technical movements are very standardized, and their artillery angle calibration and shell loading speed are very fast.

    In just a few minutes, the whistling sound of artillery shells broke the silence above Sanchong Ridge.

    ¡°Whoosh whoosh!!!¡±

    The sharp whistling sound can almost tear people's eardrums.

    After hearing these roars, the veterans on the positions immediately shouted: "Japanese heavy artillery!! Pay attention to concealment!!"

    At this time, the new recruits have also formed conditioned reflexes. As soon as they hear the whistling sound of artillery shells, they start to quickly burrow into the fortifications.  I was afraid that if I was too late, my butt would be blown up into the treetops by a cannonball.

    ¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±

    In the first round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, most of the shells landed about 300 meters away from the position.  At this time, the shooting accuracy of Japanese artillery was not as good as that of later generations.  If the distance is too far, the ammunition will need to be calibrated repeatedly to hit the target.

    The new recruits on the battlefield were hiding in the fortifications, wondering why all the Japanese cannonballs were deflected this time.  Some recruits wanted to poke their heads out to take a look, but the veterans grabbed their collars and pulled them back.

    "Are you trying to kill yourself? The first round of artillery, kid, is calibrated, and the second round will hit you in the face." Those veterans knew how powerful the Japanese artillery was, and they cursed at the new recruits.

    Sure enough, the Japanese artillery scouts observed the impact point of the first round of bombardment and quickly reported the impact point of the artillery shells to the heavy artillery troops in the rear.

    After receiving this information, the Japanese heavy artillery troops in the rear immediately began to adjust their artillery firing again.Degree.  This will ensure that their artillery shells are fired more accurately.

    A few minutes later, their hundreds of artillery pieces had completed their adjustments and began firing again.

    "Load the second round!! Fire!!" the Japanese commander roared, waving the flag in his hand suddenly.

    Xia Yang is hidden in the group of bunkers. When these bunkers were built, they had already considered the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery.  Therefore, hiding inside can basically guarantee safety. Unless a shell hits the same place four or five times in a row, it is possible to blast a gap in the bunker.  But this is almost impossible. If this is the case, the Japanese army is really lucky.

    "Military seat, the kid's bombardment is fierce enough!" Xiao Yuebing said, feeling the vibration coming from the bunker wall.

    Xia Yang said: "Otherwise, this time the Japanese army mobilized a heavy artillery regiment in this direction. This was just a bombardment by the heavy artillery regiment. When the main force of the Japanese fifth division arrived, the mountain artillery field artillery added up,  Shooting at us together, that's what it's exciting to do."

    At this time, the soldiers hidden in the bunkers also began to chat with Xia Yang.  After all, there are really not many opportunities to talk to the military commander.  Now that the battle is over, I can brag to my comrades.

    "Military seat, do you think the Japs have so many shells, why can't they shoot them all?" the soldier asked.

    Xia Yang said: "No need to ask, there are so many weapons factories in our country! We only have so many arsenals in our country, and the production capacity is only so much. The combined ammunition output of several arsenals in our country is as much as our entire country combined." (Remember.  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
