"Your Excellency Division Commander! The Second Field Artillery Wing and the Temporary Heavy Artillery Brigade have been arranged and are ready to open fire at any time!" said the staff officer in charge of liaison with the artillery unit at the headquarters of the Japanese Army, and reported to the division commander Duomener.

At this time, Domener was really reprimanding the commander of the 29th Infantry Wing, Fukuda Kenji, who was attacking unfavorably, and when he heard the news of the completion of the artillery deployment, Domener snorted and said harshly to Fukuda Kenji: "A group of recruits on the opposite side will beat you back! What face do you say you are worthy of the emperor's favor!"

"I'm very sorry! Your Excellency the division commander! The firepower of the Daqian army is too fierce! The casualties of our soldiers rushing within 100 meters are too great!" Kenji Fukuda kept his head bowed and bore the saliva of the division commander.

"I don't want to hear an explanation!" Domier was really angry, even during the Battle of Songqiao, his troops could easily rush to the position formed by the veterans of the Northern Army, and now there are four brigades, more than 4,000 people, not even fifty meters up, and a squadron of soldiers has been lost!

You must know that in the course of the entire Songqiao Campaign, his Second Division suffered losses of just over 1,000 people! Now, in just half a day's effort, he has lost a squadron of soldiers! How can he not make people angry.

"I will order the heavy artillery unit to carry out a base artillery bombardment of the positions of the Daqian army! You can grasp the last chance yourself!" Domier said coldly to Kenji Fukuda.

"Hai!" Ken Fukuda bowed twenty-ninety degrees, and secretly vowed to rush into the position of the Daqian army this time.

After Kenji Fukuda went to the front to organize the next wave of attacks, Domener ordered the chief of staff, Koki Onodera, "Have the 10th and 11th Aviation Brigades supported by Mukden arrived at Princess Ridge?"

"It's already here, it's resting, it's ready to take off for battle at any time!" Onodera Yukiki reported, "In addition, the 6th and 7th Brigades of the Northern Imperial Alliance Army have also arrived at Gongzhuling. "

Ever since he was harassed and bombed by the Zhenbei Air Force on the march, Domier has attached great importance to air power, and after losing a large group of fighters, he immediately asked for air support from the headquarters of the Japanese Army.

Although the headquarters of the Japanese army was surprised that the Chuncheng army had a flying unit, it also sent two aviation brigades over, and not only that, but also sent more than 10,000 people from two brigades to use the newly formed puppet army as cannon fodder.

Although he doesn't have much confidence in his own air brigade, it's better than nothing, at least he can contain it by fighting more and fighting less.

"You can order the 10th and 11th Aviation Brigades to take off and provide air support! Order the heavy artillery units to shell the positions of the Daqian army! Let the Daqian people taste the taste of artillery!" Duomener can't wait to see the terrifying explosion power and the demoralization of the enemy when the 240-mm heavy artillery bombards the positions of the Daqianren!

With the order of Domener, the heavy artillery unit of the Japanese Army, a total of 36 105 mm guns, 24 150 heavy guns, and 4 240 mm plus howitzers, opened fire!

A sharp whistling sound streaked across the sky, and the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army retreated into the anti-artillery holes and foxholes.

However, this time there were not only 155 heavy artillery shells, but also 240 mm heavy artillery bombardment, and with each shell falling, a deep pit and a huge hole were blown out of the position of the Zhenbei Army! Every 240 mm shell fell into a killing range of nearly 100 meters, leaving a 10-meter-wide pit on the black soil

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army endured the terrible heavy artillery bombardment, using simple air-raid shelters and foxholes to cover themselves from shell fragments to the greatest extent, but under the heavy artillery bombardment, a large attrition inevitably appeared.

On the front line of the Japanese Army, tens of thousands of soldiers of the three wings excitedly raised their guns in their hands and shouted 'Load!' one after another, and the morale of more than 4,000 soldiers of the Japanese Army was greatly boosted by the three brigades that were preparing to charge again

The cheers of the Japanese army on the front line are in stark contrast to the positions of the Zhenbei Army that were bombarded by heavy artillery, and the morale bonus that heavy artillery brought to the soldiers in the war can be seen.

Just when the soldiers of the Japanese army watched the positions of the Daqian army plough their own heavy artillery and shouted with joy.

The same shrill cannonball whistling passed over their heads, and the cheering Japanese soldiers were silent in the heavy artillery roar of the Great Japanese Empire's powerful heavy industry manufacturing capacity, and no one could hear the difference in this piercing cannonball whistling.

But a few seconds later, the sound of explosions like a torrential rain came from behind them, and all the Japanese soldiers turned their heads, only to see several thick smoke rising from several places a few kilometers away, and even causing several serial explosions.

At the same time, the roar of the Japanese artillery gradually became scarce.

The Japanese soldiers were stunned, and only a few seconds later, another round of whistling shells slashed over their heads and smashed into the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army.

The 105-mm K18 howitzer with a range of 105 kilometers showed his terrifying range, accurately bombarding the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army from 15 kilometers away.

The six heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army were bombarded one after another, and more than 20 shells fell in each round, blowing up the Japanese artillery on their backs.

The commander of the second wing of the field artillery tried to organize a counterattack, but in despair he found that the enemy artillery was all out of range! at least 15 kilometers away! And their 150 heavy guns and 240 heavy guns had a maximum range of only 13 kilometers!

In the desperation of the Japanese artillery, countless shells that had been hoarded around the heavy artillery were detonated, and a series of explosions resounded one after another in the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, and even a 155-mm cannon was blown up several meters into the sky!

It's not over yet!

Compared with the amount of heavy artillery units of the Japanese army that is one base at a time, the firepower of the artillery of the Zhenbei Army is several times that of the Japanese army!

The continuous roar of cannons was like a plough hoe rolling the black soil in the rear of Taojiatun, and countless cannonballs fell neatly, forming a terrifying explosion carpet!

The 30-minute-long carpet shelling completely plowed the six heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army twice! Dozens of heavy artillery pieces were destroyed! The serial explosions caused by the Japanese artillery personnel suffered heavy losses!

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, who had no artillery suppression, came to the front line one after another, looking at the bursts of smoke and serial explosions rising ten kilometers away in the distance, and they were so excited that they raised their heads to the sky and roared, and the position emitted overwhelming cheers.

As if they had been slapped in the face, the soldiers of the Japanese army looked at the cheering Zhenbei Army position with resentment.
