After Qiu Guoping received the order, he immediately began to order his soldiers to build positions outside Licheng County.
There are even many people in Licheng County who are willing to sign up and participate in the work of digging trenches.
There are even many ordinary people who prepare meals at home and then send them to the front line.
With the help of these common people, they can build a defense line much faster than expected. In the evening, their troops had already built the prototype of a line of defense.
Those people worked in three shifts, digging trenches, burying landmines and other tasks, almost without stopping for a moment.
At this time, the Japanese troops were also gathering. They moved some of their artillery units to the rear so that the range of these artillery pieces could cover the independent division's defensive positions on the outskirts of Licheng County.
But what these Japanese troops didn¡¯t know was that Xia Yang¡¯s artillery positions were also moving forward, bringing the Japanese troops¡¯ only way to Licheng County into their range.
Qiu Guoping's artillery scouts arrived outside Changzhi City overnight.
They were lying on a gentle slope, and with the help of night vision goggles, they could clearly see the large Japanese troops gathering outside Changzhi City.
And their purpose is very simple, that is to march towards Licheng County. Capture it there so that the troops in the rear can pass through the road in Licheng County and retreat to Hebei Province.
By advancing dozens of kilometers, the Japanese army will reach the numerous defensive positions they have set up on the outskirts of Licheng County.
In order to delay the Japanese attack as much as possible, Qiu Guoping advanced their defensive position to a position ten kilometers outside Licheng County.
From ten kilometers back, three defensive positions are used. Each defensive position is garrisoned by at least one regiment. At the same time, there is also a regiment of troops, which is used as a mobile force to support various lines of defense at any time.
Many people also organized themselves spontaneously and established stretcher teams and other material transportation teams. Support the independent division's operations from the side.
Those Japanese troops quickly completed their assembly outside Changzhi City.
Their forward troops consist of three regiments. However, due to the spread of the plague virus, these three regiments are not at full strength, and a considerable number of personnel have been quarantined.
Therefore, the total number of the three regiments is only more than 5,000.
And behind these three regiments, there are several divisions of the Japanese army, which can provide them with support at any time.
After determining the location coordinates of the three regiments assembled at this time, the artillery scouts of the independent division immediately began to use walkie-talkies to report the coordinates to their howitzer units.
At this time, Xia Yang and his artillery troops had advanced dozens of kilometers. Its firepower coverage can not only include Changzhi City where the Japanese army is located, but even a section of the main road from Changzhi to Licheng County is also covered by it.
Cai Heyuan, who was in the rear, received the coordinates of the Japanese army sent by them, and immediately shouted: "The artillery is in position, adjust the elements!!"
After receiving the order, the artillerymen who were still repairing immediately entered their respective combat positions.
They quickly adjusted the firing angle of the artillery, and at the same time moved high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs to the side of the howitzer.
Three minutes later, the entire artillery position was ready for battle.
"Fire!!!"
Cai Heyuan roared angrily and waved his palm down.
Those artillery pieces immediately began to roar.
¡°Boom boom!!!¡±
The moment the artillery fires, the flames emitted from the muzzle look like red flowers blooming in the dark night.
The shells flew for more than 20 kilometers, piercing the silent night sky.
The sharp whistling sound was like a whistle ringing in the ears, from far to near, and then fell accurately among the assembled Japanese troops.
¡°Boom boom!!!¡±
The shells fired by hundreds of artillery pieces fell in the middle of the three regiments assembled by the Japanese army in an instant.
Amidst the loud noise, the Japanese troops who had completed their assembly were blown apart in the blink of an eye. The flying shrapnel and the terrible impact of the shell explosion tore the bodies of the Japanese soldiers into pieces.
Screams came one after another, mixed with the orders of many Japanese commanders. Those Japanese soldiers jumped into the crater, orIt is to find a bunker to hide, and then pray that those shells will not fall on you.
The artillery scouts of the Independent Division used binoculars to observe the bombarded Japanese troops and used walkie-talkies to constantly correct the data.
Because the Japanese troops were constantly fleeing, they needed to constantly modify the coordinates to allow the artillery in the rear to land the shells at the most accurate location.
The sudden sound of artillery made Okamura Neji on the tower stunned. He hurriedly came to the parapet and used his binoculars to look at the area covered by artillery fire not far outside the city.
"Order the artillery troops to fight back immediately." Okamura Neiji shouted.
The Japanese artillery unit at this time immediately launched a counterattack after receiving the order from Okamura Neiji.
But their artillery shells could only land on the positions of Xia Yang and his troops, but could not fall on the rear.
Because their artillery has insufficient range, even the shooting range of heavy artillery cannot be compared with the large-caliber howitzers equipped by Xia Yang and others.
At this time, Okamura Neji issued the order to fight back. In fact, it was not really to cause much damage to Xia Yang and his troops, but more to vent his anger and carry out retaliatory shooting.
"It's just that after their artillery fired one or two shots, they would immediately move their positions. Because as long as their transfer speed is slower, Xia Yang's anti-artillery radar will lock the position of their artillery.
It only takes one round of bombardment to destroy many of their artillery pieces.
Therefore, the Japanese artillery counterattack had some firepower compared with the fierce bombardment of hundreds of howitzers on Xia Yang's side.
