Chapter 123: Satisfying, Isn't It?

The Sichuan Army, armed with Mauser 98K and MP40 Submachine Gun, launched a surprise attack on the two squads of Japanese soldiers.

On the hillside, the sentries guarding the two Japanese squads were silently taken out by the Sichuan Army.

Just then, at this very moment.

Three red Signal Flare rose into the sky.

On the high ground on both sides of the road, the Japanese soldiers poked their heads out, watching the red radiance slowly rising in the night sky.

The little Japanese devils were a bit confused; what was this for?

After the Signal Flare rose into the sky, the 82mm Mortar Battalion directly under the headquarters of Deng Xihou's 35th Army immediately began shelling.

"Baka!"

Yu Hua held his MP40, strafed the Japanese soldiers, and plunged into the village.

Sun Zhen, standing to the side, grinned and said, "We have Yu Hua's hometown to thank for this."

At Huangya Village, Hashimoto Ryuji saw the Republic of China soldiers charging down from the hillside.

"Number three gun in position..."

At this moment.

They could also launch a counter-artillery strike against the defenders.

According to the designated zones, Hou Degui ordered the Mortar Battalion to prepare.

Deng Xihou laughed happily, "Who would have thought that we, the Sichuan Army, would have a day of such large-scale shelling."

So many artillery pieces, far more than the Sichuan Army had.

Sato ran to Hashimoto Ryuji's side, "Hashimoto-kun, let's retreat quickly."

"Five rounds rapid fire, charge three, ready!"

Hearing this, Yu Hua awkwardly scratched his head.

The mortars of the 124th Division and the 122nd Division were the same.

Then they would relocate and head to the next artillery position.

Hou Degui's Artillery Battalion, under Yu Hua's strong emphasis, had to fire all five shells within ten seconds.

"Major Battalion Commander!"

"The Republic of China troops charging down from the hillside number no less than ten thousand."

The two regiments of the 124th Division and the 122nd Division shouted as they killed the Japanese devils, forming into battle formations.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

"Full army charge!!"

"Most of the soldiers are wounded; we have no extra strength to hold the position."

The 82mm Mortar, this type of artillery, was also the most equipped in the Republic of China Army.

The two Reinforced Battalion of the Sichuan Army left on the hillside had already snuck up while the Japanese were stunned.

Hashimoto Ryuji's face turned black; he had never expected that the Sichuan Army would dare to launch a Night Raid on his camp.

"I saw you squinting just now, I even thought you were about to fall asleep."

"Mortar Platoon, aim at the Japanese Firepower Point and bombard them."

Now, Hou Degui's Mortar Battalion was utilizing the height of the hillside, plus the momentum.

"Truck drivers, transport the ammunition away immediately."

"Order the troops to disperse immediately."

Hashimoto Ryuji came out of his command post.

It was a pity that this Sichuan Army now dared to attack the Imperial Army.

"Do not leave ammunition in the camp."

This had never happened before in the entire 2nd War Zone or the 1st War Zone.

Hashimoto Ryuji knew he had fallen into a trap.

"Boom— boom—"

If the Imperial Army didn't go looking for trouble with the Republic of China troops, the Republic of China troops should be burning incense in gratitude.

It smashed down onto the camp of the Hashimoto Detachment.

At the entrance of Huangya Village.

This wave directly wiped out a battalion of Japanese devils.

Because the Japanese soldiers had basically not encountered any hard battles from the 1st War Zone to the 2nd War Zone.

Yu Hua led the Reinforced Company to this position, where Yu Dazhu's Mortar Platoon was.

Hou Degui already had the complete coordinates in his hand.

Hashimoto Ryuji's Adjutant nodded and bowed, then immediately made arrangements.

"Well said!" Deng Xihou put down the Telescope in his hand: "When this battle is over, I will promote you, kid."

"Use every bit of strength I have."

"Our camp has suddenly suffered enemy shelling; our unit's artillery has suffered heavy losses."

Outside the command post!

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army all stretched their necks, peering toward the Japanese camp.

This time, over a dozen shells landed exactly on the position of the Japanese Mountain and Field Artillery Company.

He would lead his troops to garrison here.

The Hashimoto Detachment was a brigade-level formation.

As for the Type 92 Infantry Gun and Type 41 Mountain Gun.

They also saw the Japanese camp, now a sea of flames.

Artillery shells landed in the Japanese camp, emitting violent explosions.

The range of this mortar reached exactly 3,500 meters.

The first round consisted of 24 mortars; Hou Degui's artillerymen fired five shells each within ten seconds.

"Number one gun in position!"

Seeing that the bombardment was about enough, Deng Xihou said coldly, "Bugler, sound the charge for me."

"Now that you hear about a promotion, you've got spirit?"

Because Huangya Village was the location the Sichuan Army used to lure the Japanese into camping.

The three Sichuan Army mortar positions continuously bombarded the Japanese camp.

Although the Japanese squad leader tried his best to stabilize the position, the Sichuan Army's firepower was fiercer than the Japanese.

Seeing the Japanese camp in chaos, Hou Degui laughed loudly, "Brothers, move out immediately."

The artillery position of this mortar battalion had long been waiting for the order to fire.

The Japanese artillery commander was also speeding up assembly.

A total of more than thirty 82mm mortars began the second round of bombardment on the Japanese camp.

Such a powerful bombardment also made Hashimoto Ryuji a bit panicked.

"Whew, whew, whew!! —"

"Delivering so many supplies to our Sichuan Army."

The Japanese squad leader immediately ordered the soldiers to hold the position and prepare to resist the enemy's attack at any time.

"MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun platoon, cover the infantry charge!"

The Japanese squad was caught off guard and was beaten to a pulp by the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army's artillery did not conduct trial firing; they started with five rounds of rapid fire.

Just like that, all the mortars were fully prepared, now just waiting for Hou Degui's order.

Hou Degui shouted loudly: "To your stations, aim at the Japanese camp."

Just as Hou Degui's artillery battalion's bombardment ended, the other two regiments of the 122nd Division, as well as the 124th Division.

Hou Degui's mortar battalion had previously conducted trial firing aimed at Huangya Village.

In the early stages of the War of Resistance, the Japanese artillery, even when subjected to a surprise attack.

Coupled with the Sichuan Army's surprise attack, the unprepared Japanese now had no choice but to take the beating.

His eyes glowed red, "Baka!"

The Japanese squads on the high ground on both sides of the highway were completely annihilated by the Sichuan Army's Reinforced Battalion.

Strike while the iron is hot!!

Just as this group of Japanese soldiers was preparing.

Looking at the chaotic camp.

"Doo-doo-doo..." The Sichuan Army's charge bugle sounded.

Now that he heard he was going to be promoted, he stood at attention immediately and saluted Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen: "Thank you, Commander!"

On the high ground on both sides of the highway.

Although they couldn't see, this did not hinder the mood of the Sichuan Army soldiers.

These two types of guns still needed to be assembled.

"Just this mortar alone, each of our regiments is now equipped with six."

Hou Degui's 82mm mortar bombardment; countless shells were like stars falling from the sky.

The sky-high flames were like magma splashing during a volcanic eruption.

"Satisfying!"

Therefore, this time inside the Japanese camp.

His eyes widened; one look and it was all heads.

"Number two gun in position!"

The entire Japanese camp fell directly into chaos.

The Japanese soldiers in the camp below were also awakened by the bombardment.

The entire camp was filled with the shouts of the Japanese and their wailing.

"Hahaha..." Sun Zhen laughed, "You kid, you're a real careerist."

Although the Reinforced Company of the 122nd Division was the last in the whole army to launch the charge, they were the first to reach the village entrance.

Inside the headquarters of the 22nd Group Army, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, through their telescopes.

Not only possessed a large number of Type 92 Infantry Guns and mortars, but also two mountain gun squadrons.

The shells in the sky were like a volcanic eruption, smashing into Hashimoto Ryuji's troops.

Yu Hua said to Sun Zhen and Deng Xihou: "Commander, I'm taking the Reinforced Company."

It was just that during the trial firing.

Saying this, Yu Hua led by example, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and charged down the hillside.

The Mauser 98K and MP40 Submachine Gun swept across the Japanese squad on the hillside.

Running toward the Japanese camp.

Its performance was very good, with a maximum range of over 2,800 meters.

The two Japanese squads, seeing the camp below being bombarded by the enemy.

Hashimoto Ryuji nodded unwillingly: "Retreat... all troops retreat..."

Battalion Commander Hou Degui jumped for joy after seeing the Signal Flare in the sky.

They bombarded the village entrance, taking out the devils' Heavy Machine Gun Firepower Point.

The several trucks were transporting 75mm artillery shells.

Furthermore, every shot hit its mark, which showed that the Sichuan Army had scouted this ambush location in advance.

"Whew, whew, whew!! ——"

In an instant, the massive sound of explosions, like a thunderclap, erupted within the devils' camp.

At this moment, Yu Hua leaned his body against a wooden post.

Countless artillery shells, trailing long tails of flame, tore through the pitch-black sky.

"Tonight, I will definitely fight the devils with all my might."

"Fire!! ——"

The little devils' eight or nine Mortars also began to provide covering fire over the hillside that the Sichuan Army had just shelled.

Most of the devil soldiers were resting in the camp, and the sudden bombardment left this group of devil soldiers completely stunned.

The little devils just hadn't arrived yet.

Yu Dazhu commanded the Mortar Platoon to provide covering fire, specifically targeting the devil soldiers on the high ground.

The MG42 General Purpose Machine Gun suppressed the devils' Type 11 Light Machine Gun, making the little devils not dare to return fire at all.
