    In the camp of the Fourth Army, the soldiers who had been recuperating for a week were already sharpening their knives.  Now all they need is Xia Yang's order, and they will launch the most ferocious attack on Hunyuan County.

    In the headquarters of the Fourth Army, several regiment commanders of the Eighth Route Army, as well as Chen Shiliang, Ma Siyuan and others, were already standing in front of the defense map of Hunyuan County.

    The defense plan was drawn up by Anbu, Sakurai Jiro and others.  They collected a large amount of intelligence and basically marked the key points of the Japanese defense on the map.

    "These highlands are the support points of the Japanese army's entire defense network. At the same time, they are also the focus of our attack on Hunyuan County this time. As long as we can knock down these highlands, we can condescendingly attack the Japanese army outside Hunyuan County.  We will attack the large defensive positions." Xia Yang pointed at the map and said.

    Li Yunlong said at this time: "My soldiers have conducted reconnaissance before, and there are many Japanese troops stationed on these highlands. Moreover, the Japanese army has built a large number of trenches, bunkers, and various bunkers here. No matter which highland it is,  , they will all be strong-willed.¡±

    Several other Eighth Route Army commanders also thought so.

    They generally feel that if they want to capture Hunyuan County, they will need to pay about 5,000 casualties, or even more.

    ¡°I know, so when the time comes, we need all the elders and brothers under our command to show a lot of courage.

    This is a tough battle, and casualties are inevitable.  As long as Hunyuan County is conquered, Datong will be just around the corner.  "Xia Yang said.

    "What? Commander Xia, are you still planning to attack Datong?" Ding Wei said with his eyes widened.

    He originally thought that swallowing Hunyuan County would be considered a huge victory.  But what he didn't expect was that Xia Yang had such a big appetite and planned to capture Datong, a military town in northwestern Shanxi.

    Xia Yang raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that after he reunited with the Kagel combat division, he planned to attack Taiyuan.

    "What? Captain Ding, are you scared?" Li Yunlong said with a smile before Xia Yang could say anything.

    Hearing this, Ding Wei immediately slapped the table and said: "Lao Li, what are you talking about? Am I the one who gives in? If you dare to attack Datong, our new group will be the first to rush forward!!  "

    ?? Laughter suddenly came from the headquarters.

    At this time, everyone was full of confidence in attacking Hunyuan County.

    Outside the camp, the attacking troops have begun to assemble outside the Japanese positions in accordance with last night's order.

    This time, more than 10,000 people participated in the frontal attack.  The targets of their attack were mainly the three peripheral highlands.

    The Japanese bunker groups on those highlands will cause great damage to their soldiers participating in the attack.

    Before their attack started, the reconnaissance troops who guided the artillery bombardment had already arrived at the periphery of the Japanese position and began to mark the coordinates of the bunker groups.

    At this time, on the north side of Hengshan, nearly a hundred howitzers of the Howitzer Regiment have been pulled into combat positions by trucks.

    The newly appointed howitzer regiment commander Cai Heyuan listened to the coordinates coming from the walkie-talkie and immediately shouted a report.

    When the soldiers heard this, they all adjusted the shooting angle and distance of the howitzer.

    Inside the Japanese bunker, the Japanese soldiers gathered inside used binoculars from time to time to observe the situation outside.

    The Japanese high ground at the front is where the Japanese Third Independent Regiment is stationed.  This is a pivot point that can cover a surrounding one kilometer area.

    The captain of the third regiment, Takeuchi Renage, was hiding in the bunker. Looking at the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army that had been assembled outside, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

    The high ground where he was located, whether it was the layout of machine gun fire or the structure of the bunker, was carefully designed.  Takeuchi Rengami believed that as soon as the battle started, the high ground where he was located would become an extremely efficient killing machine.

    Therefore, enemies who want to break through from the attack range of this high ground will have their fragile lives harvested by the bullets fired from here.

    But what he didn¡¯t know was that the high ground he was on was already being targeted by a 155-caliber howitzer.

    "The howitzer regiment begins bombardment!! The artillery regiment conducts covering fire!!" Xia Yang ordered.

    At this time, the Japanese positions have been targeted and can be bombarded at any time.The artillery regiment, immediately after Xia Yang's order arrived, began a focused bombardment of the Japanese bunker group.

    "Boom!!! Boom!!!"

    The moment the large-caliber howitzer was fired, a huge roar echoed in Hengshan.  Like rolling thunder, it rumbled across the sky and in the valley.

    The Japanese soldiers in the distance heard the rumbling sound and thought it was thunder.  Little did he know that it was a howitzer making a huge noise.

    Just when they were wondering why it was thundering because it was not a sunny day, the sharp whistling sound of artillery shells tearing through the space was transmitted at this time.

    ¡°Boom!!!!¡±

    Large-caliber howitzer shells fell on the Japanese position in an instant.

    Especially the highlands occupied by the Japanese army were given special attention.

    These new howitzers are not only powerful, but also highly accurate.  After determining the coordinates of the Japanese bunker group, these howitzers accurately dropped the shells into the area where the Japanese bunker group was located.

    The Japanese soldiers were hiding from the shelling inside the bunkers. Originally, these reinforced concrete bunkers were enough to withstand the bombardment of enemy artillery fire.

    But with a loud noise, a bunker was accurately hit by a howitzer shell, and the entire bunker was blown to pieces, forming a big crater.

    Under the large-caliber shells, these concrete fortifications built by the Japanese army were completely destroyed like fragile wooden houses.  The Japanese troops hiding inside were shattered to pieces along with the concrete bunkers.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
