The Japanese army lacked heavy artillery and could not cause much damage to these strong gun towers and bunkers. You can only use people to charge or blast at close range.
The first battalion's defense line was spread out around the Zhaozhuang stronghold. The defense width was one kilometer wide, enough to include the entire highway within their firepower.
They spent the past few days digging a large number of trenches and building a lot of civil engineering works in order to deal with the Japanese attack.
On the turret of Zhaozhuang Stronghold, three Gatling heavy machine guns are ready for battle.
These Gatling heavy machine guns can provide fire coverage to a surrounding area of ??more than one kilometer. When the war begins, it will definitely become a nightmare for the Japanese army.
In order to solve the problem of bullet consumption of the Gatling heavy machine gun, they used carriages to transport more than ten boxes of Gatling-specific ammunition.
More than half an hour later, there was new movement from the Japanese army.
Wang Wugui, commander of the First Division of the Imperial Association Army, led his division of more than 5,000 people and hurried to the front of the Zhaozhuang position.
At this time, the captain of the Japanese Nanping Regiment, Kanshiro Nanping, was watching the reconnaissance troops provide a defense map of the enemy's position on the opposite side.
¡°At the Zhaozhuang stronghold, on a high slope with a height of about thirty meters, the enemy expanded the defense line, and the entire highway was covered by its firepower.
If we want to attack Yuanping County properly, we must knock down the Zhaozhuang stronghold. Nanping Kanshiro said to Wang Wugui next to him.
Wang Wugui has a fat head and big ears. He defected to the Japanese as a traitor two years ago. In the past few years, he has been domineering around Taiyuan. His originally tall and muscular body had become bloated and obese due to excessive drinking and sex.
He held out his big belly, took the defense map in his hand, looked at it and said, "Taijun Nanping, what do you mean?"
"You, the Imperial Alliance Army, are taking the lead!" Nanping Kanshiro said: "The enemy's strength is only more than a thousand, and they are all poorly equipped Eighth Route Army. The weapons and equipment of your First Division are comparable to those of our Imperial Japanese Army. The seed division team has a good fight.
"It takes a thousand days to raise an army but only a short time to use it. Wu Sang, you should have the confidence to attack the Zhaozhuang stronghold." "
Hearing this, Wang Wugui knew that Nanping Kanshiro wanted his first division to be cannon fodder and consume the enemy's strength.
When the enemy on the opposite side had almost used up all their ammunition, Nanping Kanshiro took his elite soldiers and went over to take advantage.
¡°But Kanshiro Nanpei is Japanese, and Takeda Junpei¡¯s order is that the forward command belongs to Kanshiro Nanpei, and he needs to coordinate operations.
So although Wang Wugui was angry, he could only smile with his face.
"It's easy to say, I will let my subordinates prepare and start the attack immediately. But when the time comes, I hope that the artillery unit of the imperial army can provide certain artillery support." Wang Wugui said with a smile, the fat on his face He was also driven up, and his eyes were almost squeezed into a slit.
Nanping Kanshiro said expressionlessly: "No problem. Before the attack officially begins, I will call the artillery units in the rear to provide a certain degree of artillery support for your Imperial Alliance Army."
After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the camp behind.
Looking at the back of Nanping Kanshiro leaving, the flattering smile on Wang Wugui's face disappeared, and he started to mutter something.
"Niang Xipi, what are you so proud of? A bullet from all directions will be the first to blow your head off in a moment."
Wang Wugui cursed for a long time before shouting: "Order the troops and prepare to attack!!!"
The soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who had run more than ten kilometers and had arrived here less than half an hour immediately began to sigh when they heard the order to assemble.
Their training level is limited, and they usually just bully and bully the common people. They had marched nearly 20 kilometers this morning and were very tired.
They had just rested for half an hour when they received the order to attack. Naturally, they were full of complaints.
But the commanders had their guns raised high, and they were shouting to assemble while firing their guns.
Soon, the more than 500 puppet troops used for the first wave of attacks had completed their assembly.
The defensive surface they can attack is not very wide. Thousands of troops cannot be spread out, and they can only charge forward with hundreds of people.
As for the two wings, in order to maximize his military advantage, Wang Wugui asked the troops of the two regiments to penetrate and attack from both wings.
The sound of air defense sirens echoed above the Zhaozhuang position.
The soldiers of the first battalion stationed here entered their respective combat positions one after another and checked the weapons and ammunition in their hands.
"Puppet army? Are you here to be cannon fodder?"
In the telescope, Gao Changjin laughed and said as he looked at the puppet troops slowly advancing towards the position.
"This is the first division of the Little Devils. It is said that the equipment and combat effectiveness are pretty good." Yang Xiaodong, the instructor of the first battalion next to him, said.
Guard Xiao Haidao said: "But I just saw that these little devils are not walking steadily. I think the combat effectiveness may not be much different from other puppet troops."
Gao Changjin said: "Whether we can fight or not, we won't know until we fight."
As they were talking, the whistling sound of artillery shells came from above their heads.
"Pay attention to concealment!!! Enemy shelling!!"
Yang Xiaodong shouted.
The soldiers in the position hid in the civil fortifications.
¡°Boom boom!!!¡±
The bombardment of the Japanese mountain artillery regiment covered the Zhaozhuang position.
The soldiers of a battalion hiding in the trench all held their heads and hid in the dug cat-ear holes.
More Japanese artillery shells landed on the position, but they did not cause much damage to the soldiers of the first battalion.
This time the Japanese shelling did not last long.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese shelling came to an end.
Wang Wugui looked at the Zhaozhuang position shrouded in gunpowder smoke and began to mutter again.
"Niang Xipi, you only gave us ten minutes of artillery bombardment, and even one base number of artillery shells is not enough."
After he finished mumbling, he shouted: "Order the troops to attack immediately!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
