"Woooooo..." The whistling sound of heavy artillery shells passing through the sky was even more harsh than the mountain artillery shells. As soon as the six artillery shells fired by the Japanese army flew into the sky, Tan Wei, a battalion commander of the artillery battalion two kilometers away, heard it.

"The Japanese heavy artillery troops participated in the battle, and the mountain artillery company immediately concealed. The battalion headquarters quickly calculated the specific location of the heavy artillery position and informed the field artillery company and the heavy mortar company at a faster speed!" Tan Wei's reaction was very fast, and he arranged all the tasks that the artillery battalion should perform!

The hidden whistle immediately sounded at the position of the mountain cannon company. Although more than 100 gunners were reluctant to leave the mountain cannon in front of them, they still jumped into the anti-aircraft hole under the greeting of their squad leader...

"Boom..." Six heavy artillery shells fell from the sky and exploded.

This was the first round of shooting of the Japanese, and the hit rate was slightly worse, but there was still a shell hitting right next to a mountain cannon.

In the splashing flames, the mountain cannon weighing hundreds of kilograms was actually blown away by heavy artillery shells like toys...

When it landed, the gun body had been dismembered into several parts, and the barrel was bent...

Seeing this scene, Tan Wei couldn't help but take a breath, shocked by the powerful power of the heavy artillery, and was also very jealous of the heavy artillery that the Japanese army had set up in the city. He hoped that several can be seized in tonight's battle.

"No... Battalion Commander, something seems wrong?" the deputy battalion commander suddenly shouted.

"The intelligence given to us by the regiment headquarters said that the Japanese in the city were equipped with twelve heavy artillery pieces, but just now only six shells hit the mountain cannon position, which means that the Japanese army only dispatched half of the heavy artillery pieces and hid six heavy artillery pieces in case of emergency!"

"Not afraid!" Tan Wei forced himself to calm down when he talked about the serious matters. Looking at the mountain cannon company position not far away, he answered confidently: "No matter how powerful the Japanese hide, they are not as strong as we hide."

"Since they don't plan to do their best, we can't expose all the cards. Immediately find out the specific locations of the six heavy artillery, and inform the two field artillery companies as soon as possible, so that they can counterattack immediately and destroy the heavy artillery positions exposed by the Japanese!"

"The heavy mortar company continues to stand by and wait until the other half of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade is exposed before firing a counterattack!"

The Japanese wing command center and Colonel Jiangchuan were also paying attention to this artillery battle.

As soon as the heavy artillery troops made a move, he climbed up to the roof of the command center, staring at the heavy artillery position without blinking, praying that there would no longer be attacked by artillery fire from the National Savior Army.

But things went against my wishes. As soon as the six heavy artillery fired out four rounds of shells, the scream of field artillery shells passing through the sky came from the battlefield.

"Boom..." The orange-red fireball quickly rose into the air in the heavy artillery position, dyeing the sky where the heavy artillery position was red. Then he heard the violent explosion of the field artillery shells.

Although he was prepared in his heart, he felt very uncomfortable after such a result actually happened.

But as the corps leader, he was not frightened by this little setback, and quickly put down his telescope and looked at the artillery staff.

The artillery staff were also shocked by the sudden artillery fire, but soon calmed down and judged with the slightly anxious gaze of the corps captain: "Sir, the National Salvation Army dispatched eight field artillery pieces to attack our heavy artillery positions, and we still had six heavy artillery pieces. As long as they were allowed to participate in the battle, at most ten rounds of artillery fire covered by artillery fire, they could blow up their eight field artillery pieces. Please issue a counterattack order!"

Colonel Jiangchuan now had to fire an arrow on the string.

The National Salvation Army dispatched eight field artillery pieces to attack its heavy artillery positions.

Although the power of field guns is not as powerful as heavy guns, it is more numerous, and the six heavy guns attacked are attacking other targets, so they cannot counterattack themselves.

This means that the six heavy artillery was in a passive state of being beaten for a long time.

If eight field guns were allowed to continue to blow up, even if all six heavy guns were not destroyed, the gunners who operated these heavy guns would be killed.

Without gunners, no matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, it is a pile of scrap iron, which will not help the battle situation at all!

In order to save the six heavy artillery that had already participated in the war, and to ensure that the artillery troops could fight against the National Salvation Army's artillery units on the battlefield and achieve the final victory in the artillery battle, Colonel Jiangchuan had to order the only six heavy artillery left by the heavy artillery brigade to participate in the battle.

As for whether the National Salvation Army has hidden other artillery, he can't care so much.

His most urgent task now is to break the deadlock and reduce the losses of the artillery troops in this artillery battle. He also needs to use this artillery battle to kill more artillery troops in the National Savior Army, and even if it cannot seriously damage the opponent, it will be tied.

If he was indifferent and remained silent in order to protect the remaining six heavy artillery pieces, the artillery troops participating in the war in the city would definitely suffer heavy losses in the artillery battle, and would in turn be suppressed and attacked by the national rescue army.

The final result was that the six heavy artillery that did not participate in the war were saved, and other artillery units in the city were beaten away, and watermelons were lost to pick up sesame seeds.

In the future battle, no matter how powerful the six heavy artillery is, it cannot withstand the continuous attacks of several times the number of small-caliber artillery in the National Salvation Army.

"Boom..." Another heavy artillery position hundreds of meters away from the command center quickly heard deafening sound of artillery fire.

At this time, the heavy artillery position, which was continuously attacked by eight field artillery, had been blown up and the artillery fire was everywhere, and no one knew their specific losses.

Because he was not a professional artillery commander, Colonel Jiangchuan was helpless in the face of the increasingly fierce artillery battle around him and could only wait on the roof.

The six heavy artillery that just fired was my last trump card. If the National Rescue Army still hides its strength, the battle situation will definitely fall into a very unfavorable situation for me.

Colonel Jiangchuan's expression became more and more nervous, especially after the six heavy artillery began to counterattack for half a minute.

Under normal circumstances, if the National Salvation Army still hides the artillery position, they will probably launch a counterattack at this moment.

Time passed in seconds, and Colonel Jiangchuan's forehead also had a lot of cold sweat due to nervousness, and he pricked up his ears and listened to the sounds above his head.

Colonel Jiangchuan was very glad that forty seconds had passed since the six heavy artillery fired counterattacks, and there was still no scream of shells flying towards the heavy artillery position above his head.

Just when he felt that the National Salvation Army had no hidden artillery troops, more than ten huge fireballs suddenly rose from the second heavy artillery position.

These fireballs are larger and more dazzling than the fireballs produced by the explosion of mountain cannon shells...

Then Colonel Jiangchuan heard the thunderous explosion.

Before he could react, the artillery staff began to exclaim.

"It's a large-caliber mortar. The National Salvation Army is using a large-caliber mortar to attack our second heavy artillery position. Mortar shells fly slowly, so we don't hear a scream, but this kind of shell is much more powerful than mountain field cannons, and the National Salvation Army dispatched at least ten large-caliber mortars to attack us!"

"It's over..." Colonel Jiangchuan shouted with a desperate look on his face. If the guard hadn't been quick-witted and quickly supported him, he would have almost fallen off the roof!

Seeing that the corps captain was so scared by the increasingly harsh battle situation, the command center was in chaos.

Many people showed worried expressions on their faces, thinking that the artillery troops in the city would definitely be defeated in this artillery battle!

If the artillery troops really lose, they will definitely not last long by relying on infantry defense to defend Jinzhong County.

The chief of staff of the wing tried his best to curb this panic-in chaos and stabilize everyone's morale, but he was not the wing captain after all, and no matter how hard he tried, it would be of no use.

It was not until Colonel Jiangchuan slowly returned to normal and stood in front of the city defense map with a serious face to command the battle that the corps command center resumed order and became orderly again.

The explosion in the city is coming to an end, and the result will be announced in a few minutes in the first round of artillery battle between the two sides.

"Report to Chief, we are contacting the mountain artillery brigade!" The telephone rushed to Colonel Jiangchuan to report in a hurry, bringing the news he wanted to know the most.

"Let's talk, are their losses big?" Colonel Jiangchuan asked immediately, his expression both nervous and anxious.

The telephone soldiers quickly reported: "They began to transfer positions after being attacked, but the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army came too quickly, and our mountain field cannons were too heavy, especially the two field cannons, which were difficult to transfer. After hard work, they finally moved out only three field cannons and five mountain cannons. The remaining five field cannons and three mountain cannons were all destroyed, and nearly 60% of the gunners were lost."

"The current mountain artillery brigade has less than 50% of its combat effectiveness before the war."

"A new artillery position is being established about 300 meters away from the old artillery position, and you can re-enter the war in up to twenty minutes."

Colonel Jiangchuan punched the table hard, his face full of reluctance. After a while, he spoke: "Bageya Road, compared with mountain artillery, heavy artillery is more difficult to transfer. The mountain artillery brigade has lost half of the artillery, and the heavy artillery brigade has not suffered any greater losses!"

"Sir, we have contacted the Heavy Artillery Brigade!" A communications officer suddenly ran to the corps captain, his face looking very ugly, and before he even started reporting, he showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping.

Colonel Jiangchuan realized at a glance that his judgment had come true. He was very guilty and did not dare to continue asking, for fear of hearing bad news that the heavy artillery brigade was also severely damaged by the National Saving Army.

In this case, the chief of staff had to stand up and rescue the wing captain. Looking at the communications staff, he asked nervously: "How much combat power is left in the heavy artillery brigade!"

The communications staff reported with a tough bullet: "The heavy artillery brigade lost a total of seven heavy artillery pieces, and nearly 70% of the gunners, especially the three or four squadrons attacked by the large-caliber mortars of the National Salvation Army, were almost completely lost."

"The large-caliber mortar has great power and fast firing speed, which caused the three or four squadrons of the Heavy Artillery Brigade to be hit by nearly forty heavy mortar shells in less than half a minute. The artillery positions were directly bombed into a mess. Many gunners did not even have the chance to lie down and conceal, and were directly bombed to death!"

Colonel Jiangchuan showed a desperate expression on his face after hearing this.

The two artillery brigades of their own suffered heavy losses, and even the artillery troops that participated in the war in the National Salvation Army suffered considerable losses, and their heavy mortar troops would definitely not have suffered any losses.

Because during the entire artillery battle, the heavy mortar troops finally participated in the war and were not attacked.

With this heavy mortar unit on the battlefield, the only five heavy artillery remaining in the city will definitely not dare to show up casually, and the remaining mountain artillery units will not dare to participate in the war rashly, and finally expose their targets...

The Chief of Staff obviously also saw this problem and directly suggested to Colonel Jiangchuan: "Sir, in the next battle, artillery can no longer participate in the war. Even if you want to participate in the war, it is limited to attacking the attacking troops of the National Savior Army. You can no longer fight artillery with the National Savior Army. Otherwise, our few artillery troops will definitely be wiped out by the National Savior Army!"

Colonel Jiangchuan nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, the despair on his face was suddenly replaced by seriousness. He looked at the chief of staff and replied with murderous aura: "What are you afraid of? If the artillery is defeated, the infantry will come on!"

"On the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese army has been under the pressure of our artillery fire. Not only does their infantry not have artillery fire support, they are even scarce ammunition. Especially the Eighth Route Army, many troops are not even enough light weapons. But they still defeated us on the battlefield."

"Although our artillery advantage is gone, there are still many artillery left in the city. As long as we seize the opportunity and use them well at the right time, we can still severely damage the national rescue army."

"And we don't have to worry about ammunition. The city has enough weapons and ammunition that we have used for several months."

"Such good conditions, even without artillery fire, we can block the attack of the National Salvation Army and defend the Jinzhong County!"

"Everyone cheers me up. Do you think you are not even as good as the Chinese army?"

The captain's words were deafening.

The Chinese army can defeat the Imperial Army without artillery fire advantage, and the Imperial Army can definitely defeat the Chinese army without artillery fire advantage, otherwise it would be too failure.

Moreover, in addition to the artillery advantage, the National Rescue Army snatched away, the ammunition advantage and terrain advantage are in the hands of the Imperial Army. Overall, the chances of victory are still on the side of the defending troops...

Thinking of this, the sluggish morale of the command center was suddenly raised, and many people rekindled hope, looking at Colonel Jiangchuan, the backbone, waiting for him to give orders.

"Notify the mountain artillery brigade and the heavy artillery brigade to arrange artillery positions separately in squadrons to prevent our remaining artillery from being taken over by the National Rescue Army." Colonel Jiangchuan did not ask him to wait too long, and once again turned his attention to the city defense map, and gave orders while watching.

"From now on, the task of the artillery troops is mainly to cover the city defense forces. Without the command of the command, no unit can bombard the artillery troops of the National Salvation Army."

"After the position is exposed, it must be transferred immediately, and the national rescue army will not be given a chance to counterattack!"

"From now on, our attention will also be shifted from the artillery to the city defense forces!"

When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Although the artillery battle ended, the offensive and defensive battle outside the city did not stop.

All four garrisons were trying their best to attack the city wall, and the shells kept rippling fire on the city wall like it was raining.

In order to block all the Japanese and puppet army's city defense forces on the top of the city and be bombed, they used shells to kill and injure the Japanese and puppet army's vitality, and the infantry of the four garrisons were not idle.

There are two companies lying on the ground and crawling forward in each direction, approaching the city wall little by little.

The Japanese and puppet troops knew that these troops were attacking troops sent by the National Salvation Army, but they did not dare to be careless at all, and they even tried their best to intercept them.

If the blockade is not in place and the National Salvation Army touches the foot of the city wall, they will definitely destroy the city wall.

By then, even if the King of Heaven comes, I can’t stop the attack of the National Saving Army!

Therefore, the Japanese and puppet troops could only defend the city against artillery fire.

As long as there are shells hit the city, some Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be killed and injured by the bomb.
