Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"avoid!"

The Japanese engineering regiment had dug trenches for the 46th Regiment. There were various cat-ear holes in the trenches to avoid artillery fire. After hearing the sound of artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers immediately hid in the cat-ear holes.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

The shells landed on the Japanese positions, raising a lot of dust. The Type 92 infantry gun was not powerful enough to blow down the Japanese reinforced bunkers, and most of the Japanese had hidden in cat-ear holes. This round of shelling did not cause too many casualties to the Japanese defenders.

At the same time, after a round of shelling ended, the artillerymen of guns one to six quickly began to replace ammunition, placing new shells into the barrels, preparing to fire again, but Zhuzi did not order the firing.

Although the above mission does not require worrying about ammunition loss, Zhuzi does not intend to provide continuous fire coverage, otherwise the Japanese will hide in the trenches and not come out, and the artillery bombardment will not be able to cause heavy casualties to the Japanese. Firing artillery also requires tactics.

He observed through the telescope and said, "Cannons seven to ten, raise the elevation two degrees, and fire!"

With an order, the four cannons opened fire again. After this round of shelling was over, Zhuzi readjusted the shooting angle, occasionally firing two cannons, and occasionally firing four cannons.

At most, six guns fired at one time, and the sixteen guns did not fire at the same time.

After the artillery fired, the soldiers of the first company of the third detachment also launched a charge towards the position of the Japanese 45th Regiment.

After rushing down from the mountain, they had entered the Yu County Basin. Without any cover, the entire company had to disperse and attack the Japanese trenches in threes.

Above the Japanese front-line position, an observer who was hiding under a bunker and observing the situation in the distance with a periscope immediately discovered a company of soldiers who were rapidly approaching the front-line position.

"Notify the captain, someone has launched an attack!"

"boom!"

Another explosion was heard, and four more shells fell into the Japanese position, leaving the Japanese in the front-line command post with a mouthful of dust.

"Baga, where are our cannons? Why aren't we fighting back?"

The captain of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 45th Regiment shook his head to get rid of the dust and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Report, the Chinese artillery is on the mountain and has exceeded our range. Our artillery can only reach 500 meters from our front line!"

"Baga, are you just going to watch us get bombed?"

"Report, the Chinese troops are launching an attack on our position!"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese captain immediately said: "Notify all squadrons to prepare for battle!"

"Hayi!"

"Notify the artillery squadron to provide us with fire support!"

"Hayi!"

At this time, Zhuzi on the top of the hill was using a telescope to observe the landing point of the shells, and at the same time he was also observing the distance between the comrades below and the Japanese trenches.

Two kilometers, one kilometer, five hundred meters. When the distance was about three hundred meters, Zhuzi immediately said, "Cannons one to twelve, two targets in front, ten rapid fire!"

As soon as these words came out, the deputy beside him said with some concern: "Captain, the distance is too close, what if..."

"Blast it! This is the only way to blast a path through!"

Zhuzi gritted his teeth and said that although they had conducted artillery and infantry coordination training on weekdays, they had never used live ammunition. It was just training, and this was the first time in real combat.

But there is no way. If the artillery shells are not fired two hundred meters in front of the charging troops, the Japanese will enter the position after the shelling, and the charging troops will suffer greater casualties.

"Yes!"

At the same time, the Japanese artillery squadron adjusted the shooting angle and began to bombard the charging troops.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Shells kept falling on the Japanese positions and the road where a company of soldiers was charging. They were all Type 92 infantry guns, and it was difficult to tell who fired the shells.

Although they were under artillery fire, the soldiers of the first company did not retreat. They fearlessly rushed towards the front line under the Japanese artillery fire.

"Second Company, go!"

After seeing this scene from a distance, Zhang Kuixi gave orders again. He just thought that the fire support of the artillery battalion was not enough, but he didn't expect that they would wait here and suppress the Japanese with a small amount of artillery first. After approaching the position, he would launch a wave of intensive bombardment on the Japanese, leaving them no time to enter the defensive position, and let a company of soldiers rush into the Japanese front-line position.

"The Eighth Route Army is attacking!"

"Defense, get into defensive position!"

A Japanese squadron leader rushed out of the cat ear cave and gave orders loudly.

After hearing this, a group of Japanese soldiers reluctantly came out of the cat ear hole and took up their firing positions under the artillery fire.

"boom!"

A shell fell and several Japanese soldiers were killed instantly.

"boom!"

"boom……"

The shells kept falling, and a hole was torn open in the Japanese front-line position.

"Sharpshooter Company, follow me!"

Seeing that the first company had already rushed into the Japanese position, Zhang Kuixi knew that now was the best time to take the Japanese position, and immediately led the remaining troops to press forward.

At about the same time, the commander of the 20th Division, Ichiro Shichida, had already arrived at the airport.

Chapter 250 The Tragic Situation of the Devil Prince

"How is it possible? Who did it?!"

Ichiro Nanada looked at the burning airport and felt a little unsteady on his feet.

When he saw it from a distance just now, he just thought that the oil depot or ammunition depot might have exploded. Only when he got there did he realize that the airport had been attacked and turned into ruins. There were almost no intact buildings to be found.

"Save him, find His Royal Highness immediately!"

"Hayi!"

A group of Japanese soldiers rushed into the airport like crazy and began to look for Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko. If anything happened to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, they would all be in trouble.

"Your Highness, where are you?"

"Your Highness, I heard a response."

"Your Highness, we are here to rescue you."

"..."

After a group of Japanese soldiers rushed into the airport, they searched slowly and fearfully among the ruins of the airport, looking for possible attackers, while shouting loudly, "Looking for the Japanese Prince."

The first group of Japanese soldiers who entered the airport looked at the surrounding scene in shock. Everywhere they could see destroyed buildings, aircraft wreckage, and some body fragments of the defenders. Some Japanese soldiers with poor mental quality immediately began to vomit.

"vomit……"

A Japanese soldier had just entered a ruined room when he saw an unknown liquid dripping from his head. After taking two steps, he felt something dripping into his mouth. He slowly raised his head and saw a hideous, festering corpse hanging on the wall with thick liquid slowly dripping from it.

"vomit……"

More Japanese soldiers were putting out the fire while searching for the Japanese prince inside the airport.

"Save me, save me..."

At this moment, the shout of a Japanese soldier attracted the attention of several Japanese soldiers. They saw a rotten hand stretched out from the thick yellowish gas not far away. When several Japanese soldiers approached, they saw that there were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers here, and their appearance was very miserable.

"Gulu!"

The Japanese soldiers swallowed their saliva. The scene before them was really hard to accept. Various rotten wounds began to appear on these Japanese soldiers' bodies. In some places, white bones were exposed. It was difficult to see intact skin. Various blisters appeared on their bodies.

"vomit……"

One Japanese soldier began to vomit, and then more Japanese soldiers began to vomit.

Because they saw that among this group of devils, there were still some things moving, some things that were neither human nor ghost, were calling for help. They could no longer be recognized as human beings, but they were shouting miserably, and their voices were very hoarse, like the whispers of a devil.

At this moment, some Japanese soldiers who entered the airport also felt some discomfort and wanted to grab things with their hands, and some experienced Japanese soldiers also reacted.

“There’s poisonous gas!”

“Wear a gas mask!”

"Don't go near the yellow gas!"

"Tighten your sleeves and trousers, and stay away from the poison gas!"

After hearing these words, some Japanese soldiers who were carrying gas masks hurriedly took out their gas masks and put them on their faces. Some Japanese soldiers were stunned where they were because their gas masks had been sold to the Fourth Division. They ran out of the airport in fear.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is poisonous gas at the airport, please be careful!"

A Japanese officer ran out in a hurry and reminded Nanada Ichiro.

"Has Your Highness found it?"

"not yet!"

"Go find him quickly, no matter if there's poison gas or not, find His Royal Highness right away, right now, right now!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese officer gritted his teeth and rushed into the airport again, but he did not go deep. Instead, he commanded the soldiers to search inside.

"Don't just stand there! Immediately search for the attackers, centering on the airport. They can't have gotten far. Catch them!"

"Hayi!"

After receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers who arrived at the airport quickly dispersed and began to look for traces left by the attackers.

The Japanese soldiers who were searching for Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko at the airport finally found Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko in a room after searching for more than ten minutes.

At this time, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's body was completely rotten. He was lying on the ground wearing a gas mask. If it weren't for his overly flashy military uniform, it would be difficult to recognize him.

"found it!"

A Japanese soldier shouted loudly, but because he was wearing a gas mask, his voice was very low and no one came over immediately.

The Japanese soldier looked around and became a little excited. He had found His Royal Highness. If His Royal Highness was still alive, wouldn't it be a great achievement if he rescued him?
