Most of the corpses had already been blown up beyond recognition.

Even a few intact bodies are hard to find.

There are also many puppet soldiers, who were directly blown into meat foam, and even their bones are gone.

The entire frontal position on the periphery of Datong and the two puppet army defense lines in front of it have been bombed.

There is not much left of the active puppet army.

The commander of the puppet army was blind.

Completely unsure of what to do next.

The division commander of this puppet army, who turned out to be a regiment commander, became a brigade commander because he surrendered to the Japanese army.

Later, he recruited a lot of puppet soldiers, and he became the division commander.

But the command ability is still at the level of a regiment commander.

With such a large-scale attack, he didn't know how to command it at all.

One round of bombing caused him to lose half of his troops, and the shock was too great.

This division of his was responsible for frontal defense, and he originally thought that he could show his face and invite a merit in front of the Japanese army.

Now it seems that he is completely looking for death!

The chief of staff of the puppet army reacted quickly: "Division, hurry up!" If we don't withdraw, our troops will be gone!

The opponent's firepower is too fierce, the Japanese are not opponents, let's stay here like this, it's cannon fodder! ”

The commander of the puppet army reacted and retreated!

He finally remembered that if he couldn't fight, he could still retreat!

"Yes, retreat immediately!"

"Retreat!!" As soon as the chief of staff of the puppet army heard that it was time to retreat, his excited voice changed, and it became a rooster's voice.

The order was given quickly.

The puppet army on the third line of defense suffered relatively light bombardment, and the troops were relatively intact.

As soon as they heard that they could retreat, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Life saved......

The puppet army was about to retreat when they heard the rumbling of artillery in the distance.

But this cannon sound, they are very unfamiliar.

What kind of cannon is this sound?

Why does it sound so loud?

Still a bit dull?

The puppet army was stunned, and the cannonballs came over.

Rumble!!

Boom !!

The American howitzer shells were much more powerful than the Japanese infantry guns.

A shell hit, and immediately there was a sea of fire around it.

If the distance is close, the whole person will be immediately torn apart by the fragments of the shell.

Moreover, when the howitzer is fired, it will emit a violent burn, and the hot air can directly smoke people to death.

The puppet army has been in Shanxi for a long time, and there is no other place where they have never seen this kind of artillery at all.

Dozens of howitzers were fired at the same time, and the lethality was very huge.

The puppet army has not retreated yet, and the third line of defense is directly covered by artillery fire.

Li Da himself saw that Wang Han's plane mainly bombed the first two lines of defense of the puppet army.

So he ordered the troops, adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and directly aimed at the third line of defense of the puppet army. This will allow you to inflict maximum damage on your enemies.

The commander of the puppet army division was already completely dumbfounded.

He had already given the order to retreat.

But it seems that his troops have not been able to withdraw.

This......

The other party's troops, which way are the immortals?

I put up with the plane, how can there be such a fairy cannon?

This power has never been seen before!

The commander of the puppet army has collapsed now, and there is no way to fight this battle at all!

As far as the weapons in their own hands are concerned, let alone defense, they can't even run.

My troops, it's over.

After the shelling was over, Li Da himself took a telescope and looked at the enemy's position, as if there was no movement on the position.

Hey.

It's good that there's no movement.

Li Da himself turned his head and said, "Tell the troops, give me a charge." ”

Charge now and try to take the enemy's position within two hours of dark.

There are still three lines of defense?

Hasn't it been breached?

The troops of the first battalion immediately began to charge.

Thirty tanks rushed forward with a bang.

There are still a lot of lucky puppet soldiers on the battlefield.

After being bombed by planes and howitzers for half a day, there were still more than 2,000 puppet soldiers alive.

They got up from the ground and patted the dust off their clothes.

Touch your body.

it!

I'm still alive!

God forbid.

Just as he was about to retreat, there seemed to be a ...... in the distance Tank sound?

Tank?

This......

The opposing side won't even have tanks, right!?

A bold puppet soldier stuck out his head and looked at it twice, and then his eyeballs almost exploded.

A large number of tanks, with a large number of troops, crushed by black pressure.

That kind of psychological deterrent is very great.

With a few tanks, it's already impressive, not to mention thirty tanks.

There's no way to fight it.

Run!

This puppet soldier didn't say a word, he ran away with his arm and turned his head.

Unfortunately, I was unlucky, and just after running two steps, I was targeted by a tank.

Bang.

The shells fired by the tank hit and directly smashed the running puppet army into flesh.

There was a cheer from the observers in the tank, and the first shell hit a puppet army, which was so cool.

The tank company's long teeth itched.

You are a fool, use tanks to fight the puppet army, and you also pick a place with a lot of people to fight!

One shell and you'll hit a puppet army!

What a loser!

"Who hit it? When the battle is over, see if I don't kick him to death!

Is there such a big one?

A cannonball is expensive, so hit a puppet army for me?

What about playing?

Cheer me up! Hit the puppet soldiers! ”

The tankman who had just hit the puppet army shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.

It was the first time he had driven a tank into battle, and he was a little excited.

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Just now, it was bombed by planes and artillery, and it was not their turn to be on the tank at all.

Now it was finally possible to charge, and there was no movement on the opposite position.

You can't even see a moving enemy.

Finally saw an unlucky puppet army, he was so excited that he directly killed people with one shot.

The huge army pushed all the way forward, and the little people on the position of the puppet army were not opponents at all.

By the time the first battalion rushed to the position, those puppet soldiers were still hiding in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads.

For these puppet soldiers, Li Da himself was not easy to deal with, and he immediately reported the situation to Li Lei.

Ask how else to deal with it.

Li Lei's order was to kill them all.

Obviously Chinese, but willing to be driven by devils, would rather be the cannon fodder of devils than fight with devils.

I really don't know what they think.

The commander of the puppet army ran back to Datong and reported the situation to the commander of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Sakata Noyoshi.

Startled Saka Tianye Yoshi broke out in a cold sweat.

The other side actually has planes and tanks.

And large-caliber artillery!

This......

It's the mysterious force, no doubt.

He immediately sent a telegram to Yoshio Suzuka, asking for reinforcements again.

Now it seems that it is useless to just send a Suzuki brigade over.

The other party is the meat grinder of the division.

Not a single division is an opponent of that unit.

If you want to win, you need at least two divisions.

After receiving a telegram from Yoshiyoshi Sakata, Yoshio Suzuka was so frightened that he didn't move.

The body is stiff like a strip of in winter.

He hastened to order the Suzuki brigade to stop advancing.

Stand by in situ south of Huairen.

At the same time, Yoshio Suzuka immediately reported the situation to Seishiro Itagaki of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army.

It is requested that heavy troops be immediately dispatched into Shanxi to encircle and suppress this mysterious force.

According to Yoshio Suzuka's calculations, if you want to annihilate this army, you need to dispatch at least seven divisions at a time.

Because in Shanxi, this is not the only army.

There were also tens of thousands of other troops of the Eighth Route Army.

If you want to completely eliminate them, you need at least seven divisions.

The reason why Yoshio Suzuka made such a judgment was because the first four divisions of the 15th Army could almost draw with the expeditionary force.

At that time, they estimated that the strength of the expeditionary force should be around 200,000 people.

Now in the whole of Shanxi, Yoshio Suzuka estimates that the troops of the Eighth Route Army will at least exceed 100,000, or even more.

But in Shanxi, he had only two divisions and two brigades. It is very difficult to rely on this army to defend Shanxi.

Although there are still 100,000 imperial troops, their combat effectiveness is not weak.

But at the critical moment, it is still their own troops that can be relied on.

The most terrible thing is that the 15th Brigade in Datong has basically been wiped out by the other side.

Now there is almost one brigade left.

That is, the army of their empire, now has only two divisions and one brigade.

With such troops, they can't hold Shanxi at all.

Shanxi is so big, and the forces of their empire are very scattered.

The forces could not be concentrated.

In one episode, it will only be able to stick to a few big cities.

In that way, the speed of the opponent's attack will only be faster.

Offense is impossible.

If two divisions attack, it is very likely that they will be completely annihilated.

If you want to take the initiative to attack and annihilate the opponent's troops, you must maintain absolute superiority in terms of strength.

Seishiro Itagaki was overjoyed to receive Yoshio Suzuka's telegram.

Yo West!

Sure enough, it was the mysterious force.

Although he didn't know why this mysterious force appeared in Shanxi.

But he knew that since this force had been discovered, it was necessary to encircle and suppress it with heavy troops.

This is the worst enemy of their empire.

Since the annihilation of the Fifteenth Army, this mysterious force has hung over their empire like a haze.

Always timid when fighting.

Well, now it's finally been caught.

This time, it is destined to be a good opportunity for my Itagaki Seishiro to leave his name in history.

Shunroku Hatata, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, was also excited: "Your Excellency, commander, do we need to send troops?" ”

Seishiro Itagaki nodded: "Yes, for the honor of our imperial troops, we must send troops.

Command! ”

As soon as Seishiro Itagaki spoke, all the Japanese soldiers in the war room stood up straight.

"Order the Fifth Division and the Ninth Division, starting from Zhangjiakou, to enter Shanxi from Yanggao and Yangyuan respectively, and prepare to attack this army from the front.

Ordered Suiyuan's Honma Brigade to set off from Suiyuan Jining and enter Shanxi from Fengzhen.

The 14th Division and the 20th Division were ordered to send troops from Shijiazhuang and enter Shanxi through Niangzi Pass.

Four divisions and one brigade, all assigned to the First Army, under the command of Yoshio Suzuka, must annihilate this army! ”
