Chapter 177: Take the initiative

When the battle of Xuzhou was at the beginning, Wan Baobang used this method to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, and the current situation is also like this, when the Japanese army eats breakfast, it has always been the time when they are the most lax, and the Japanese army has a tradition of eating, that is, they like to get together when they eat, and after eating, they will have some morale-boosting incitement, and then they are attacking.

At this time, the Yunnan army took the initiative to launch an attack and was bound to achieve very good results, and in the entire War of Resistance against Japan, the Japanese army's tactics were rigid, and our army's tactics were equally rigid.

The Japanese army's strong firepower, well-trained soldiers, and its brave performance in many battles can be said to have beaten many units of our army into fear, and the Japanese army will definitely not take the initiative to attack them if they do not attack them.

However, the 184th Division, under the leadership of General Zhang Chong, has always been good at taking the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the carelessness and paralysis of the Japanese army to give them a black hand, which is enough to make them suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, in the current situation, if the strength of the two divisions and one detachment of the Japanese army does not hurt them a little, and these two divisions and regiments summon planes to attack jointly, the strength of the three divisions will not be the opponent of the Japanese army!

While the Japanese army was eating, all the artillery used binoculars to carefully observe the positions of the Japanese army, and where there were many people, there were naturally a large number of artillerymen.

Moreover, Wan Baobang's previous operations also captured thousands of Japanese poison gas bombs, the power of poison gas bombs is not to be repeated, Wan Baobang has not been used before, but the current situation is different, Wan Baobang thought about it and assigned all these poison gas bombs to dozens of mountain guns at the front, and greeted these gas bombs on the top of the Japanese army's head as soon as he gave the order to fire.

Seeing this, some people may think that our use of poison gas bombs is a violation of international law and humanitarianism, but when did the Japanese army abide by international law on the battlefield in China?

The law of the jungle has always been the immutable law, the Japanese army's three-light policy, how many soldiers who laid down their arms in our army were slaughtered by the Japanese army, and how many innocent people were killed by the Japanese army?

As for the brutes, we should not abide by any international law, and they use poison gas as well, so that these beasts can taste the weapons they have produced.

After some corrections, invisibly, more than 100 artillery pieces of various types of the Dian army were also prepared, and all the infantry began to quietly retreat and hide in the anti-artillery holes.

Wan Baobang said: "Send a flare!" ”!

"Yes"!

A communications soldier ran to the outside of the headquarters and pulled the trigger sharply, and two blue smoke and high-pitched signal flares rushed into the sky and exploded.

"Ready! Put "!

"Ready! Put "!

Under the command one by one, the soldiers pulled the bolts in their hands, and one shell after another began to attack according to the intended target.

Just when these Japanese soldiers were alarmed by the sound of artillery and were about to react, the Japanese positions at the front had turned into a sea of fire, and many Japanese soldiers who were still carrying lunch boxes were directly blown up.

At the same time, the mountain artillery group at the front also hit the Japanese army position with a poison gas bomb, and the entire Japanese army position was filled with poison gas, and many Japanese soldiers foamed at the mouth and desperately struggled to get the gas masks equipped on their bodies!

"What's going on"? Wang Yaowu was shocked.

"The Japanese army of the 1st Army opened fire with all its might"! Zhang Lingfu said.

"Are they crazy? In this way, the Japanese army will retaliate like crazy! Wang Yaowu said hurriedly.

"Even if we don't bombard them, they won't let us go, you see that the artillery fire of the Dian army is very accurate, the Japanese army was caught off guard, and the losses are extremely heavy"! Zhang Lingfu said and handed the telescope out.

Wang Yaowu took the binoculars and looked at Daxi and said: "Also, these grandsons are a group of mad dogs, if we don't beat them, we will beat us, instead of this, let's start first and smash their dogs' mouths"!

"Inform me and order the artillery of our army to open fire on all fronts and bombard the Japanese army"! Wang Yaowu followed and said.

"Yes!"

Just when the artillery fire of the Yunnan army was fiercely bombarding the Japanese army, the artillery fire of the 74th Army also rang out violently, and one shell after another roared into it, and the Japanese positions on the opposite bank suddenly exploded and roared, and under the huge power of Krupp's heavy artillery, many Japanese troops were blown into the sky.

The command of the Japanese army, the commander of the 101st Division, said with a big change in his face: "What's going on"?

"The Chinese army took the initiative to shell, and our forward troops suffered heavy losses"! A major general's staff officer said.

"Yaga! Inform the troops to quickly organize a counterattack"!

"Yes"!

......

"What's the situation"? Zhao Jianying frowned.

"It's the sound of Krupp's heavy artillery, listening to this posture, our artillery is fully fired"! Lu Hai said.

"What now"? Haijiji asked.

"Since our artillery has fired, the Japanese artillery will inevitably open fire and suppress, this is the best time for their firepower to be exposed, our soldiers are divided into three ways, I will lead a team, Jianying will lead a team, Haizhizhi you will lead a team, all bring the radio, search the position of the Japanese artillery, if it is possible to find out the Japanese command headquarters"! Lu Hai arranged.

"A day later, 24 hours later, we are still here to converge and transfer en masse"!

"Yes"!

"Go"!

Lu Hai's troops were divided into three groups and touched into the jungle, and in the same way, on the forward position, the Japanese army was caught off guard, and more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded in just ten minutes, and in such an unsuspecting situation, they were directly exposed to the artillery fire that had already locked them, and the power of the heavy artillery had also been maximized, and a single shell could even kill a dozen, or even more than 20 Japanese troops.

In the same way, our army's poison gas bombs were also frantically tilting towards the Japanese positions, with almost no reservations, and the entire Japanese army's positions were filled with erosive poisonous gases.

Many Japanese soldiers who did not have time to put on gas masks were even burned by poisonous gas at this moment, and their faces were covered with blisters, which looked extremely terrifying.

After a full ten minutes, the Japanese artillery finally opened fire and returned fire, but most of the soldiers of the Yunnan army had already hidden in the anti-artillery holes, and the casualties were not large!

In order to increase the number of casualties, the Japanese army also began to use poison gas bombs to bombard, and the position was also filled with highly toxic gases, but most of the soldiers stationed at the front were two regiments of soldiers of the 184th Division, although it cannot be said that no one had them, but absolutely seventy percent of the soldiers had gas masks.

Because of the preparations in advance, the Japanese army's means of attack did not cause huge casualties to the Dian army.

The shelling continued, and after a full hour, the Japanese positions were already full of craters, poisoned, blown up, shocked, and Japanese corpses could be seen everywhere.

Many of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army were wailing miserably, and because of the gas masks on their faces, the howls were very dull and terrifying.

"Inform the infantry, plant explosives in the positions of the front, set up fire belts"! Zeng Zesheng ordered.

"Yes"!

"It's really enjoyable, these brutes also have today, haha"! Zeng Zesheng laughed.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've fought a battle like this." Li Zuo said while observing with a telescope.

"How many little devils do you estimate to be killed by the explosion"? Zeng Zesheng said with a smile.

"According to conservative estimates, at least the combat effectiveness of at least two brigades has been defeated by us, and there are more than 1,000 people killed directly!" Li Zuo said.

"Prepare to prepare, the little devil has suffered a big loss, he will definitely take revenge, and there is still a vicious battle to fight today!" Zeng Zesheng said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The sound of our artillery gradually thinned out, after all, the artillery shells were limited, and now that the Japanese troops had already dodged and it was not easy to kill and wound, it was better not to waste the shells.

However, the Japanese artillery fire was the most intense, heavy artillery, mountain artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and fired together to fiercely bombard the positions of the First Army, and the Japanese retaliatory artillery fire on the positions of the 74th Army never stopped.

Fortunately, we were well prepared, and although we could not avoid casualties, we kept them to a minimum!

This bombardment lasted until the afternoon, when the Japanese artillery finally died down, and the two armies fell into a short dormant period.

All the soldiers finally got the opportunity to trim and naturally fell asleep, leaving the necessary soldiers to defend at the front.

The Japanese army was also counting its own casualties and rushing to transport the wounded, and this state lasted until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese army carried down 2,000 wounded soldiers and more than 1,500 corpses, and then launched a retaliatory strike!

The sound of artillery was an order, and many soldiers woke up when the Japanese artillery fire opened fire again, but now they were still hiding in the anti-artillery holes and waiting, waiting for the Japanese to attack.

"Inform our army of artillery fire, closely monitor the movement of the Japanese army, and once the Japanese infantry is large and most of them cross the river, the artillery fire will be blocked"!

"Yes"!

"Order, once our artillery fire blocks the Japanese offensive, open fire on the whole line, so that the Japanese soldiers who cross the river will not come and go"!

"Yes"!

Half an hour after the shelling, one wing of the Japanese army launched an attack from the front as the vanguard, and there were two wings on the other two sides.

Just when the Japanese army began to cross the river at the front, the defense line on the bank did not block too much, but they all nested in the trenches and waited for the Japanese army to cross the river!

Until most of the Japanese troops came to the middle of the river, seven or eight flares were suddenly released from the sky, and the three divisions in the three positions opened fire one after another, heavy machine guns and light machine guns. Mortars were firing heavily.

The Japanese troops were almost a live target for machine guns due to their inability to move in the river, and under such circumstances, many Japanese soldiers were overturned in the river.

At the same time, Japanese artillery fire also opened fire on the forward positions of our troops, covering their infantry charge!

Wan Baobang looked through the binoculars and ordered: "Inform the infantry to hold steady, let them come, and the artillery will be ready to bombard at any time"!

"Yes"!

Just when the Japanese army came to the river beach with nearly a squadron of troops, Zeng Zesheng ordered: "Explosion!" (To be continued.) )
