Chapter 249: Completely Wiped Out

"Baka!"

At this moment!

Fujimura Ken knew that his artillery unit had been calculated by the Sichuan Army.

Originally, when the Sichuan Army had just bombed the highway!

The Artillery Regiment and the Artillery Squadron of the Kunisaki Detachment!

Had also lost a batch of Mountain Field Guns!

Coupled with the temporarily constructed artillery positions, they had only managed to set up 24 artillery pieces.

The remaining Mountain Field Guns had nowhere to be deployed at all!

That was a thunderous strike!

From the sound of the artillery, Kunisaki Noboru could already roughly tell that the Sichuan Army on the hilltop!

Had no fewer than 80 artillery pieces!

That was simply a slap in the face.

A huge shockwave swept through the surroundings.

Sending the little devils into a chaotic scramble.

"Regiment Commander Fujimura Ken has already Jade Shattered."

A 75mm artillery shell landed at his feet.

Where on earth did this equipment come from?!

"Hai!" Tani Hisao's Adjutant lowered his head, not daring to look at the Division Commander's angry eyes.

The effect of the shelling was far inferior to a concentrated volley from a battalion of Mountain Guns now!

Even many short Imperial Warriors were swept into the sky, then smashed down hard, falling to their deaths!

Some Imperial horses were also running around wildly at this time, neighing incessantly.

Fujimura Ken was screaming in anger.

Fujimura Ken coughed dryly twice, "Cough, cough..."

Looking across the entire position, flames were spreading and smoke was billowing!

Artillery pieces were blown over onto the ground, and the corpses of devil soldiers were everywhere!

The moment the shell exploded, scattered shrapnel drilled into Fujimura Ken's chest.

Tian Zhongyi and Zhou Shaoxuan both put down the Telescopes in their hands.

Kunisaki Noboru!

His expression at this moment was also very ugly.

"The artillery of the Artillery Regiment, not one in ten remains!"

A mouthful of fresh blood could not be suppressed and sprayed out directly.

Some Mountain Field Guns were directly rolled over onto the ground.

They could really hold back, having fought for so long!

His guard trotted forward to Fujimura Ken's side.

In the rear of the 6th Division, it was also a scene of continuous artillery fire, with the sounds of guns and cannons never ceasing.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

Seeing the devil soldiers charging up, both of them smiled.

This time the artillery position was bombed, and the ammunition depot exploded.

After Zhou Xun's Bofors Mountain Gun Battalion unleashed its power, Tani Hisao's old face was as black as it could possibly be.

The shouts of the Imperial Warriors, the explosive sounds of the raging fire, and that piercing wind.

When the artillery battalion of the Sichuan Army 145th Division conducted its first shelling.

Upon hearing this, Tani Hisao immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart: "Baka!"

At this moment!

In the temporary command post of the 6th Division.

The Independent 13th Brigade and the Independent 14th Brigade!

Seeing the devil soldiers spread out and charge up holding their Type 38 Rifles.

Suffering such a blow for the first time!

On the little devils' artillery position!

The devils who could still breathe.

After the violent explosion!

Countless artillery shells descended once again on the devils' artillery position.

"Xiu xiu xiu!! ——"

Rows of artillery shells smashed down toward the rear of the little devils.

Just as Kunisaki Noboru had thought, Tani Hisao's Adjutant had returned.

Preparing to give the little devils a fire coverage!

A round of firepower output from the Type 26 Submachine Guns directly interrupted the devils' "pig-rush" style charge.

It truly surprised Kunisaki Noboru!

You must know, this did not match the intelligence provided by the Imperial Special Higher Police!

The Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army clearly only had one artillery regiment directly under the Group Army!

He jumped up with joy: "Good, good, good!"

After the Japanese machine gunners stabilized their positions, the commander issued the order to charge.

Fujimura Ken's heart was bleeding!

This was still the 6th Division, ever since it arrived on the Far East Continent.

"Behind us!"

Along with the guard supporting him, he was also pierced through the abdomen and forehead by shrapnel.

"The artillery position, it cannot be saved now."

In an instant, the entire command post of the 6th Division fell into chaos!

On the hilltop!

The Japanese soldiers who had been struck immediately acted under the commander's direction.

Just as he wanted to issue the order to retreat!

A whistling sound came from the sky once again!

This time, the Imperial Army had fallen into the hands of the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army commander's initial target was likely the Imperial Army's artillery position.

Now, artillery shells were falling upon the Imperial artillerymen.

They began to counterattack against the two Independent Brigades!

The Japanese Type 92 Heavy Machine Guns and Type 11 Light Machine Guns fired toward the soldiers of the Independent Brigades!

Rao Guohua saw the Japanese artillery position plunged into a sea of fire.

The guard spoke while supporting Fujimura Ken.

"I see the Republic of China Army's next round of artillery fire is about to arrive."

"Let's retreat quickly!"

Bursts of explosions, the cries of warhorses, and the pleas for help from the Imperial Warriors.

"After this battle is over, I'm going to treat the brothers of the Artillery Battalion to drinks!"

"Division Commander!"

Having served in the military for so many years, Tani Hisao felt his cheeks stinging at this moment.

Now that they had struck!

They had now suffered two rounds of artillery strikes from the Sichuan Army.

Just a moment ago, he had sworn that the Sichuan Army's Bofors Mountain Guns had long since fled.

So many artillery pieces!

The artillerymen were dead, and the artillery pieces were destroyed!

The Sichuan Army had actually not moved their hidden artillery!

"Baka!"

"Report to the Division Commander!"

"Contact Regiment Commander Fujimura Ken immediately and ask about the status of the Artillery Regiment?"

Fujimura Ken was not so lucky this time!

He ordered the concentration of all the Type 26 Submachine Guns of the entire brigade!

Three types of artillery: Type 92 Infantry Guns, Mortars, and 75mm Type 41 Mountain Guns.

They had endured for so long just to calculate the location of the Imperial Army's artillery position.

"Medic... hurry..."

The artillery position was finished.

Kunisaki Noboru knew this.

This sound!

Fujimura Ken was very familiar with it!

German-made 75mm Bofors Mountain Gun!

This quantity was definitely an artillery battalion!

Just now, the Sichuan Army's shelling had only consisted of mortars, Type 92 Infantry Guns, and a small number of mountain guns;

Watching the artillery position engulfed in flames, bursts of explosions rang out!

This time, they did not obey the commander's orders and began to scramble to save their own lives.

Fujimura Ken, who stood up staggeringly, looked at the devastated artillery position.

"Regiment Commander!"

It caused the ammunition in the Japanese artillery position to explode once again!

The Sichuan Army of the Independent Brigade immediately set up Type 26 General Purpose Machine Guns to counterattack the Japanese!

The two Independent Brigades of the Sichuan Army, over ten thousand men, had also maneuvered to the rear of the 6th Division.

First, the artillery battalions of the two Independent Brigades concentrated all their artillery to shell the 6th Division.

"Tani Hisao-kun..."

"There is an enemy force behind us, hurry and counterattack!"

"The artillery is really damn effective."

His body was covered in mud and sand, and the smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the air.

But!

Right now, the Sichuan Army suddenly had so many more artillery pieces!

The Japanese soldiers began to lie on the ground, raising their rifles to counterattack!

In an instant!

"Baka!"

It kept echoing across the artillery position!

Tani Hisao knew that something terrible had happened!

The artillery of the two Artillery Battalions from the 145th Division and the 146th Division launched another bombardment.

The shells fired by the 12 Bofors Mountain Guns landed on the devils' artillery position!

At the same time!

The artillery position was completely ruined; the 75mm Mountain Field Guns certainly could not be salvaged now.

Immediately following!

The scent of cooked meat even drifted through the air!

The Sichuan Army on the hilltop!

They did not have a division-level Artillery Battalion!

The infantry divisions below each had four regiments under their command, and each regiment possessed one 82mm artillery company.

The soldiers of the Independent Brigade fought while establishing defensive lines, preparing for a long-term hold.

News of the appearance of Sichuan Army troops in the rear!

Quickly reached the 6th Division headquarters.
