When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, only a few 75mm field cannons were seen on the Japanese artillery position, which were tilted around. These cannons had been destroyed. There were also many corpses of Japanese artillery soldiers who were torn into pieces and scattered everywhere. The scene seemed very bloody, just like hell.

A 155mm howitzer alone is not so powerful. However, the Japanese artillery was accustomed to stacking a large number of shells next to the cannons. In this way, it can save time to carry shells and increase the speed of the shells. However, the consequences are also very obvious. Once they are bombarded by the enemy, it is very likely to cause a death toll, causing greater casualties to themselves.

"His corps leader, the position of the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Battalion, was destroyed." A staff officer reported to Colonel Tohirataro.

Colonel Taro Tokai's face suddenly became very ugly. He could clearly feel that the artillery suppression of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had begun, and they might be in a more unfavorable situation in the next artillery battle.

"Order the artillery positions to speed up the counterattack. Once the Chinese firepower suppression begins, we will be in a more unfavorable situation." Colonel Tohira Taro ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Corps." The Staff Officer immediately went to issue an order.

However, the gap in strength is difficult to make up with other aspects. The artillery strength of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is undoubtedly far above the Japanese army. Although the Japanese artillery also caused certain casualties to the artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, after the artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army launched firepower to suppress the Japanese artillery, the Japanese artillery had no power to counterattack at all.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The artillery of both sides was violently bombarded. The artillery of both sides was desperately smashing the shells to the other side's positions.

The artillery battle is tragic. Although the artillery soldiers do not have to go to the front line to get angry with the enemy's bayonets, their battles are often even more tragic. Once they are hit by the enemy's shells, they often have only one end, that is, they are torn to pieces.

Fortunately, even if the Japanese artillery was strengthened, they were far from being the opponent of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. During the fierce artillery battle, they were completely suppressed.

The Japanese artillery positions were constantly hit, the artillery was destroyed, and the artillery was killed and injured.

Faced with the suppression of heavy artillery by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese artillery was desperately resisting. However, their resistance seemed very powerless. Faced with the suppression of artillery by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they seemed powerless.

The artillery of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army had advantages in caliber and quantity. The entire Southern Army was not equipped with the 155mm heavy howitzer used to suppress the Japanese army alone. Such troops were often only equipped with the Japanese independent heavy artillery brigade. But unfortunately, there was no independent heavy artillery brigade of the Southern Army. This made them passively able to withstand the violent artillery attacks of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Time passed slowly, and as time passed, the artillery advantages of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army became increasingly greater. The 4th Field Artillery Regiment and the 56th Field Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses. More than half of their artillery had been destroyed. The artillery was even more seriously injured.

The officers and soldiers of the 4th Field Artillery Regiment were frightened from top to bottom. The feeling of watching the shells explode not far away and their comrades were torn to pieces on the spot was really numb and unacceptable. Many people were in a situation where they were almost collapsed.

"We can't fight artillery with the Chinese people anymore, we can't afford it! Send a telegram to the division commander, we need to disperse immediately and withdraw from the battle. Otherwise, all the cannons will be destroyed and all the artillery will die." Colonel Taro Tokai said.

The other artillery brigade captains and squadron leaders nodded repeatedly. They were also frightened by the fierce shelling of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

After learning about the heavy losses of the artillery, Lieutenant General Seihara agreed to withdraw from the battle. However, this means that the 8th Japanese infantry Regiment had to withstand the fierce artillery attacks from the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

"Issue an order to the 61st Infantry Regiment to prepare them and be ready to support the 8th Infantry Regiment at any time." Lieutenant General Seihara also issued an order. He knew that the 8th Infantry Regiment could not resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army under heavy losses, and must find a way to support it. Otherwise, the 8th Infantry Regiment would soon collapse.

"Hi, your Excellency Commander of the Division." Chief of Staff Colonel Otsu Kisaburo immediately went to issue an order.

The shelling continued on the positions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, they soon discovered that the Japanese shelling stopped soon.

"Brig Commander, it seems that Japan* is afraid of being beaten by us, so he dare not fight with us anymore." The commander of the Artillery Corps of the 1st Infantry Division said with a smile.

"Well, the Japanese artillery was not our opponents in the first place. It was natural to be defeated by us. However, although they stopped the artillery, they could not be taken lightly and needed to pay more attention. They ordered the artillery to turn the gun mouth and continue to shell the Japanese positions to clear obstacles for the attack of the infantry brothers." Major General Yu Fei ordered.

"Yes, brigade commander."

A total of 84 155mm heavy howitzers joined the shelling of the positions of the 8th Japanese infantry Regiment, which made them under even greater pressure. Every moment, Japanese infantry were killed by the fierce artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

The Japanese artillery was about to disperse and preserve their strength. However, their wishful thinking was still not successful. At this time, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army air force appeared on the battlefield. 48 p-51b fighters, covering 24 b-25 medium bombers, launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese artillery that was about to retreat.

The bullet cabin was opened, and shells fell from the bullet cabin, smashing like raindrops.

Soon, smoke columns rose from the ground.

The Japanese artillery soldiers who were preparing to retreat were devastated. They were completely exposed when they were withdrawn from their artillery positions.

The bombs dropped by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army Air Force destroyed many of these Japanese artillery and artillery.

After these B-25 medium bombers dropped all the bombs and flew away from the battlefield, the P-51b fighters also joined the attack. The bombs hung under the wings were dropped into the Japanese artillery, destroying the cannons and killing the artillery. At the same time, the aviation machine guns were also firing, tearing the Japanese artillery into pieces.
