Chapter 40: The Sichuan Army Falls into a Trap (Please Follow)

The 12 remaining Type 96 150mm Field Guns of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Regiment also arrived at the Sixth Brigade.

Now the Sixth Brigade possesses 24 heavy artillery pieces!

Plus the 75mm Mountain Field Gun Company and Rapid-fire Cannon Company under the Sixth Brigade.

Among them, the 75mm Type 41 Mountain Gun Company was ambushed by Yu Hua and the others.

Those four mountain guns are already completely finished.

Currently, the Sixth Brigade only has the 75mm Field Gun Company left, possessing 4 field guns.

The 37mm Rapid-fire Cannon Company, six artillery pieces.

Among them, the standard artillery of the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 35th Regiment.

If the Sichuan Army troops want to hold their positions, everyone will have to fight to the death.

The Japanese signal soldier lowered the signal flag in his hand, and the third gunner pulled the firing lanyard.

Countless artillery shells landed on the Sichuan Army's positions.

He deployed a Company!

The entire artillery group is now ready, and Hashimoto Ryuji grinned: "Fire!"

Xiang Wenbin's 1st Regiment has basically already entered the positions.

The shells drew arcs in the air, and the sharp sound of airflow constantly vibrated in the sky.

If he doesn't notify the troops to enter the positions, they definitely won't be able to block two battalions of Japanese soldiers in a moment.

Crouching down makes the target too large; when the shells of these two types of artillery land, it is easy to be blown up.

The four Type 41 Mountain Guns were also mobilized by Hashimoto Ryuji.

"It's too late, it will be too late!"

This Yamao Daio is quite sensible and didn't make Hashimoto Ryuji waste more breath.

Some soldiers were blown to death by shells before they could even crawl into the Anti-Artillery Cave.

"Boom!"

This power is simply unimaginable!

The Regiment Commander of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Regiment, Yamao Daio!

Seeing that after his Heavy Artillery Regiment arrived at the Sixth Brigade, he could not command it personally.

Xiang Wenbin shouted loudly.

If one lies flat, the heavy artillery will shatter one's internal organs.

They came to the Far East Continent just to earn enough military merit to promote themselves to General Officer.

Xiang Wenbin is not at ease with only placing a Platoon of observation sentries on the position.

And just when the Japanese artillery was about to fire, the charging infantry immediately retreated.

He knows well that the end point for a commoner is Colonel.

Currently, all of the Sixth Brigade's long-range strike artillery is in the hands of Hashimoto Ryuji.

"Not good!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!! ——"

He discovered that the Japanese infantry had begun to advance.

He discovered that smoke and dust were rising on the Sichuan Army's positions, and trails of smoke and dust were scattering from back to front.

Currently, the Imperial Way Faction has already been heavily suppressed by the Control Faction, and Yamao Daio does not dare to defy Hashimoto Ryuji's orders.

"Everyone, get into the Anti-Artillery Cave for me, damn it!"

After Hashimoto Ryuji put down the Telescope, he began to order the artillery to adjust coordinates.

"Yosh!" Hashimoto Ryuji nodded with satisfaction.

"Dayong... fire quickly..."

"Ah ah..."

Sichuan Army soldiers were hit by shells and let out miserable screams.

Soon, the Sichuan Army soldiers hiding in the back heard the gunfire and immediately entered the positions.

On the Sichuan Army positions.

The First Gunner handed over to the Second Gunner, and the Second Gunner opened the breech and stuffed the shell into the barrel.

Yu Hua shouted, looking at the Japanese artillery group.

However, seeing the other party's young face, he knew that this person must be from the Control Faction.

At this moment, countless shells fell, and only then did Xiang Wenbin and Xie Linfeng realize that this was a Japanese conspiracy.

Yu Hua's expression changed, "Dayong!"

Wei Dayong fired his gun toward the sky.

But, currently, the Japanese still have 75mm Field Guns and 37mm Rapid-fire Cannons.

"Wei Dayong, notify the Company Commander immediately, Japanese artillery is attacking."

"Hashimoto-kun, you can command with peace of mind!"

The Japanese artillery fire landed.

He discovered that the Japanese still hadn't shelled.

Hashimoto Ryuji came before Yamao Daio, "Yamao-kun!"

At this moment, Yu Hua was lying on the position, picking up the Zhongzheng Rifle in his hand, aiming at a Japanese Machine Gunner.

This shelling lasted for ten minutes.

"Boom boom boom!! ——"

"Bang, bang..."

This time, the Japanese infantry were quite close to the Field Position.

Yet at this dangerous moment, he saw a woman wearing a kabuki costume.

This time it was only ten minutes... abnormal!

He was also a member of the Imperial Way Faction, and any Japanese soldier of the Imperial Way Faction was relatively bellicose.

"According to the previous coordinates, commence artillery fire immediately!"

This artillery bombardment was directed by Hashimoto Ryuji, with a false extension of fire.

His expression changed drastically, "Damn it... the little Japanese actually set up an artillery group."

"We've fallen into a trap; have the troops withdraw from the position immediately."

Yamao Daio was also a commoner!

Dense swarms of Japanese soldiers, approximately two battalions.

"This time, the artillery bombardment will last twenty minutes."

On the position!

All the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were hiding in the Anti-Artillery Caves.

Only then could Yamao Daio be promoted to Major General.

Yu Hua's expression was very anxious, and he spoke very quickly.

In order to deal a heavy blow to the Sichuan Army troops, Hashimoto Ryuji specifically established an artillery group.

The shelling stopped, and Yu Hua waited for a while; he felt that the Japanese shelling this time was somewhat unusual.

After the coordinates were adjusted, the Japanese gunners moved the shells out of the shell crates.

Mountain Guns, Field Guns, Rapid-fire Cannons, and 150mm Heavy Artillery formed an artillery group.

The bombardment by the artillery group brought great danger to the Sichuan Army defending the position.

He himself also arrived beside Zhang Kang.

A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Hashimoto Ryuji's mouth.

Against 150mm Heavy Artillery, one could only crouch down to take precautions; after all, the power of heavy artillery is great.

"Yoshi!"

12 pieces of 75mm artillery, 6 pieces of 37mm Rapid-fire Cannons.

Some Anti-Artillery Caves simply could not withstand this level of artillery group bombardment.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

Inside the Anti-Artillery Cave, Yu Hua heard the sound of the air being torn apart.

And at this moment!

At the Japanese artillery position, Hashimoto Ryuji was using a Telescope to observe the Sichuan Army position.

For the Sichuan Army on the position, this was somewhat difficult.

Lowering the Telescope, Hashimoto Ryuji looked at Yamao Daio, "Order the artillery!"

42 pieces of artillery moved rapidly under the command of Hashimoto Ryuji.

He was also a bit dissatisfied inside!

As the Regiment Commander of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, he had been in this position for many years.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a Colonel at such a young age.

Another minute or two passed.

"All of you, hide well; don't lie flat on the ground, try to crouch down."

"Yes!" Yamao Daio conveyed the order to fire.

The Sichuan Army soldiers who had entered the position dived into the Anti-Artillery Caves amidst the Japanese artillery fire.

"Move faster!"

Logically speaking, the little Japanese artillery bombardment on Dunwu Temple always lasted twenty minutes.

Just then, a sharp tearing sound came from far to near.

Gunfire rang out one burst after another.

The barrels of over forty pieces of artillery vibrated, then fired over forty shells.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers retreating, Yu Hua suddenly remembered.

"Next, I will command the artillery; I hope you can assist me."

Zhang Kang was also calling out to the soldiers to hurry and take cover from the shelling.

"The fish has taken the bait!"

To advance further, one needs military merit, only illustrious military merit.

Soon, the little Japanese's forty-plus pieces of artillery opened fire on the Sichuan Army position.

Seeing the anxious expression of his Platoon Leader.

Footsteps came from outside, and Yu Hua took a peek.

"Whew, whew, whew!! ——"

After closing the breech and confirming the loading was complete, the third gunner reported immediately.

Regarding Hashimoto Ryuji, although Yamao Daio did not know the other party's identity.

The muzzles of over forty pieces of artillery began to slowly lift, aiming at the Sichuan Army's position.

Wei Dayong ran quickly and arrived beside Zhang Kang, speaking only halfway.

Yu Hua shouted while rising from the position.

"Boom—!!"

A pit that Hashimoto Ryuji specifically dug for the Sichuan Army.

"The devils are coming up, hurry..."

Thereby changing the fate of his own family.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Facing the devils' artillery fire, she was actually still looking for something in the trench.

"Damn it... women are just trouble."
