The Hon Hai Road area was the focus of the Japanese attack.

After the initial tentative battle, the Japanese army quickly retreated and gathered forces.

After making thorough preparations, troops were mobilized on the east, north, and west sides of Hon Hai Road.

It took a full hour and a half to complete the preparations for the campaign.

During these times, Han Feng calmly prepared for war in the warehouse area, and had successfully used the original fortifications of the Japanese army, plus a large number of civil works, and had successfully built a large fortress.

Needless to say, at this time, the two Chinese teams in the north and south of Hon Hai Road are also working hard.

They adopted the combat readiness requirements of Hanfeng.

In addition to the regular fortifications, they also had tunnels deep underground, as well as strong bunkers and bunkers built with building materials.

Bunkers and pillboxes, in particular, are highly concealed and very strong.

In addition, this place not only has strong buildings such as Ruitai Building on the street, but also has a large number of three- to five-story reinforced concrete houses in the north and south areas, which are more prosperous.

Zhao Chongguo and Du Fenglie are both veteran officers of the Hanfeng Army.

They were with Han Feng, and they often heard about what was still a tunnel, what it was for, how to avoid shells, and so on.

In preparation for the battle, they imposed orders, gave specific data, and asked each company, battalion, to dig how many and what kind of fortifications.

An infantry squad, thirteen people, has to dig a small deep tunnel, also known as a cannon hole!

An infantry platoon must have three relatively strong bunkers.

Wait a minute!

In this way, the arrangement of the Chinese army is quite adequate.

When the Japanese bombarded, the officers and soldiers here, especially the recruits, the citizens, there are still many girls here.

There are those who are scared to cry, those who are scared to pee, those who are scared to faint, and some who almost commit suicide.

However, this is a temporary phenomenon.

The real harm is also great.

The field artillery used by the Japanese army was large in caliber, the smallest was 75 mm, and the largest heavy artillery was more than 200 mm.

The field artillery was in the area east of the city wall, and the mountain artillery was close to the battlefield.

The Japanese officers were very confident and very optimistic.

While the artillery was being shelled, the officers waved their white gloves and showed off their might, and they were overjoyed.

Thousands of shells hit the positions of the Chinese troops north of Hon Hai Road, and more than 300 shells hit the positions to the south.

The Chinese army on the battlefield is in shambles.

A large number of houses were destroyed, and some bunkers could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery, and also collapsed, collapsed, tore off splashes, and became cannon fodder!

Some trenches and pits were bombed and collapsed.

A number of Chinese soldiers were killed and wounded.

Some were in the trenches, buried alive by the collapsed earth.

Some were torn apart by shells.

Some had their limbs cut off by fragments.

Some of the heads were bleeding.

What is more serious is not shrapnel killing, but shock waves and kinetic energy.

Some of the soldiers were killed in the individual pits near the blast site, although they did not suffer any fragment damage, but they bled and died.

That's caused by air waves and shock waves.

Their internal organs had ruptured and were shattered by the shock wave.

Severe internal injuries.

The Japanese artillery officers, the infantry officers on the Japanese front, and the ordinary soldiers who watched the battle all felt that the victory was in their hands!

According to their habit, they believe that the Chinese army's fortifications are very poor, and after the artillery fire covers it, the Chinese army will inevitably suffer heavy losses!

"At least kill one-third of the Chinese army and kill one-third of the wounded, so that although the remaining Chinese army is still physically intact, but mentally, it has collapsed, and we have easily conquered the position!"

When thinking like this, when the artillery fire stopped and the commander gave the order, the Japanese infantry carried out a key assault on the north side of Hon Hai Road from the eastern, northern, and western fronts!

Crowd tactics!

Now that the Chinese army may be completely wiped out, and the crowd tactics rush away, will the remnants of China still have the slightest ability to resist?

The main force of the Japanese troops besieging here is a standing division with very strong combat effectiveness, from landing at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China to here, rampage along the way, as if entering a no-man's land!

They are too arrogant.

In the past few days, they have mainly entrenched themselves in the eastern half of Jincheng, wantonly searching for and killing Chinese soldiers, and showing no mercy to the formation of troops who have come to surrender.

In their eyes, the Chinese army is all scum!

In the past few days, in the city, the Chinese military and civilians have also carried out a fierce all-round war of resistance, and more and more soldiers and civilians have been fighting guerrilla warfare in the streets and alleys, and the Japanese troops of this division have gradually felt the pressure.

However, they still believe that the Chinese army cannot compete head-on, so they have to adopt such a rogue style.

They are still confident.

One infantry brigade to the east, one detachment to the north, two infantry squadrons. To the west, a squadron of infantry, a squadron of engineers, a squadron of baggagemen, some cavalry.

The Japanese army launched a full-scale general offensive!

The commander was an infantry wing commander Sasaki Osa.

He looked at it with his binoculars, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Destroy the Chinese soldiers!"

The Japanese officers and soldiers shouted, fighting for their lives, and they were brave!

The Japanese army in three directions formed a terrifying locust tide, overwhelming and unstoppable!

They quickly stormed the Chinese positions.

This is the first line of positions.

The originally flat, dilapidated, all kinds of ruins, the place of death, the place where the smoke of fire and thick black smoke were flooded, suddenly a large number of heads and guns poured out!

The officers and men of the Chinese army, the first-line troops, according to the order, waited until the enemy approached them, and then suddenly emerged from the individual pits, from the tunnels, from the remnants of the trenches, from the backs of some buildings, from some well-hidden bunkers.

"Hit!"

"Oops, oops!"

All kinds of roars!

The weakness and tactfulness of Jiangnan and the peace of Qingli have all been transformed into the sonorous strength of the land of Yan Zhao!

At least more than a hundred rifles, a few light and heavy machine guns, suddenly appeared and counterattacked the Japanese army!

The Japanese army is charging, cheering, where can there be so much?

Suddenly, more than a hundred rifles fired in a jagged volley, several light and heavy machine guns strangled in crossfire, and some grenades and grenades struck at each other!

The front was arranged with an infantry battalion.

Zhao Chongguo's team thought that there were three or four thousand people at first, but in fact there were more than six thousand people!

Because a large number of surviving civilians in the vicinity have taken refuge here and joined the battle.

Zhao Chongguo's troop deployment was also scattered.

Two infantry battalions in one direction, 1,000 people, plus a reserve battalion, a total reserve of more than 1,000 people, were stationed near the Ruitai building.

More than 2,000 rifles and machine guns, etc., most of them were reinforced to the first line of troops, one direction, a forward infantry battalion, with about 300 rifles.

The front-line infantry company with a hundred and ten rifles, almost fully equipped.

Those without rifles, armed with grenades and grenades.
