Chapter 182: Turning Against the Enemy on the Battlefield

"Division Commander!"

"Our artillery is already in position!"

Wang Zhizhong's Adjutant ran to his side to report the situation.

The artillery position of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army had two Type 41 Mountain Guns and 10 Type 92 Infantry Guns.

Three separate artillery positions were set up, and every piece of artillery was in position.

Now they were just waiting for Wang Zhizhong to order the bombardment.

The artillery unit's observers had long since calculated the coordinates, and the Type 41 Mountain Guns and Type 92 Infantry Guns had finished adjusting their firing data.

Therefore, the commanders of the Sichuan Army units were now also learning from Yu Hua's model.

They followed Yu Hua, walking through the streets and alleys, shouting to the common people that their troops had fought their way back.

After firing five shells, the Sichuan Army ceased bombardment.

"Fire!"

Because there were few Japanese soldiers, and because the Sichuan Army troops did not encounter resistance from the Puppet Army after entering the city.

"Yeah... yeah... Brother Feng!"

"How can we win!"

Even the defending Japanese troops suffered around twenty casualties.

A shell had already been inserted into the cannon chamber.

Wang Feng felt a chill in his heart; on the city defenses, over a hundred of his own brothers had already fallen.

Defending Zhuozhou City, Chongtian Xianer felt there was still no major problem.

This Zhuozhou City had high walls and thick ramparts; as long as they held out until dawn.

"Brothers, follow me and kill the Japanese!"

Whenever they conducted a bombardment, it was a five-round volley to see the effect.

"The little Japanese want us to go fight the troops outside the city; they are clearly sending us to our deaths."

The city gate had been blown open, which made Chongtian Xianer extremely anxious; he immediately ordered Wang Feng to take men to block the gate.

"Let's revolt."

Facing the artillery of the 122nd Division, the Puppet Army under Wang Feng's command simply could not hold out.

There were many cannons inside, but the artillerymen had all been taken away by the battalion commander.

"Anyway, there aren't many Japanese left in the city."

With a burst from a Type 11 Light Machine Gun, the dozen or so Puppet Army soldiers running back all fell into a pool of blood.

This is truly absurd!

Since when could local armies be equipped with so much artillery!

This is damn well wealthier than Chang Kaishen's Central Army.

"How is this local army so willing to spend."

Supervising the battle from the rear, seeing the Collaborationist Army retreating, the little Japanese opened fire with machine guns.

As his voice fell, the signal flag bearer waved the flag in his hand.

At this, some of the standing Puppet Army soldiers began to walk forward slowly.

The artillery of the 122nd Division, meanwhile, readjusted their coordinates based on the previous impact points.

The gunners immediately pulled the firing lanyards, and the shells, like meteors falling from the night sky, smashed into the Japanese and Puppet Army at the South Gate.

Following Wang Feng's shouts, the Puppet Army soldiers also began to attack the Japanese.

"If we don't retreat, the unit will be wiped out."

"Ready... fire!!"

Never expected that the Republic of China Army would have a day to fight back.

The Imperial Army would win!

But, just as Chongtian Xianer was having this beautiful dream, the Sichuan Army began their bombardment again.

"Exactly!"

Wang Feng's confidants also spoke up: "Brother Feng!"

The 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army rapidly expanded their victory, attacking the other three gates from inside and outside.

"Baka!"

The troops that fought into the city tonight!

Seeing the troops entering the city flying the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, many people were shocked.

This time, with a ten-round volley, the accuracy of the shells was much more precise than the last time.

After an hour of fear and trembling, the gunfire gradually ceased, and some of the bolder people began to peek out.

He now had no confidence at all in defending Zhuozhou.

The elite Adjustment Divisions within the Central Army, which everyone often called German-equipped Divisions, only possessed one Mountain Artillery Battalion.

"Brother Feng, now that we have revolted, this is called an uprising on the battlefield."

This damn thing, the opponent has artillery.

Wang Feng hardened his heart and shouted: "Retreat!"

"Da-da-da!! —"

The Puppet Army began to retreat into the city, but the Japanese under Chongtian Xianer's command set up machine gun positions.

He cursed angrily, then hurriedly hid behind the fortifications.

After the ten-round volley finished, the city wall was also blown open; the wall, repaired with mixed bricks and tiles, could not withstand the bombardment of the Mountain Guns and Type 92 Infantry Guns.

Seeing breaches appear in the city walls and the city gate, Wang Zhizhong ordered his troops to attack the city.

Seeing that the Puppet Army had not yet moved, the little devils used their Machine Gun to strafe them again, and another twenty or so Puppet Army soldiers fell into pools of blood.

Wang Zhizhong had already told the artillerymen to fire another round of shelling, ten consecutive shots, and then attack the city.

"Damn it, they've already fired four shells, and there's no sign of them stopping."

On the city defense fortifications, Chongtian Xianer immediately began having Imperial Army soldiers organize the Collaborationist Army to defend.

"This is absurd!"

"Brothers, we can't hold them off; the casualties are too high. We only have Rifle, we have no Machine Gun or artillery at all."

"Rebel, damn it... Brother Wang Feng, let's finish off the little devils!"

Wang Feng had mingled among the subordinates of various warlords in the country, so he was quite knowledgeable about the strength of the Local Army.

Inside the city!

In an instant, casualties in Wang Feng's Regiment on the city defense fortifications surged.

"Baka!"

Chongtian Xianer was also extremely displeased at this moment; there was a huge arsenal inside the city.

The Puppet Army soldiers lying on the ground also crawled up slowly.

Therefore, the entire battle ended in less than an hour.

They couldn't even use artillery to counterattack the Republic of China Army because no one knew how to use the things.

The commander of the artillery unit shouted loudly: "Five consecutive shots!"

"Those who retreat... will all be killed!"

Yu Hua led a Battalion, and in his hands, he held a simple megaphone made of tin.

The Sichuan Army troops howled as they charged toward the South Gate, and the Mortar also began to roar, aiming at the Puppet Army and the devils to bombard them.

Wang Feng was also dumbfounded; the Republic of China Army outside the city, damn it, actually had artillery.

"Brothers, retreat quickly!"

Now open the granary to distribute grain; the common people in the city, go get the grain immediately.

Several of his trusted aides also said in Wang Feng's ear: "Brother Wang Feng, let's retreat."

A devil soldier said in not-very-proficient Chinese, waving the Rifle in his hand to signal the Puppet Army to go back quickly.

Equipped with 12 75mm caliber Mountain Gun.

When attacking the other three city gates, the remaining Puppet Army soldiers also turned their guns around and launched an attack on the devils.

Now Chongtian Xianer was counting on this group of Collaborationist Army to be of some help.

"We have the advantage in numbers."

However, this firepower was much stronger compared to other Local Army.

When shelling, whether it was big guns or small guns, it was always the same: fire five consecutive shots and see the effect.

Hearing the gunfire, the common people did not dare to go out, and everyone kept their doors tightly shut.

After all, there were still eight thousand Collaborationist Army inside the city now.

This unexpected counterattack was something Chongtian Xianer had not anticipated.

The Type 92 Infantry Gun and Mountain Gun also continued to provide firepower support, covering the infantry charge.

After seeing this scene, Wang Feng's several trusted aides also turned pale.

The South Gate had just been taken, and the Shen Yunhua Regiment and Jin Jizhong Regiment also quickly arrived at Zhuozhou City.

The Sichuan Army and the Puppet Army attacked the devils together, which made the South Gate quickly taken by the Sichuan Army.

For this kind of simple megaphone, there was a Platoon of soldiers, each holding one.

Chongtian Xianer on the city defense fortifications widened his eyes after hearing the shelling outside the city.

Moreover, the number of these artillery pieces was not small.

The entire Zhuozhou City was easily taken by the Sichuan Army.

They were acting as the Supervision Team in the rear!

Wang Feng rolled his eyes, "Do it!"

Now this Local Army outside the city was equipped with exactly 12 artillery pieces, although Type 92 Infantry Gun were mixed in.

Now most of the generals in the Sichuan Army troops also knew about this kid, Yu Hua.

After receiving the order, Wang Zhizhong's Adjutant immediately passed it on to the artillery unit.

Wang Zhizhong grinned.

"Bomb them for me, damn it; let's fire five consecutive shots and see the effect."

Dozens of people shouting together with megaphones, the sound was still very loud.

The common people in the city were also very excited when they heard this sound.
