Chapter 356: The Bloody War Begins
The picture pulls back to the north of the county.
Two hours later, the wounded of the guard regiment had been rescued, and at the same time, Yang Chen had also defended the formation and redeployed.
Without the little devil noticing, the large army had quietly retreated into the county seat of Yingxian along the traffic trench dug in advance.
All this, the little devil is completely kept in the dark, and it is not yet known.
At the beginning, all the officers and men of the guard regiment didn't understand, why did Yang Chen, the regiment, give such an order, didn't they want the forward position?
However, the soldiers of the guard regiment have this good thing, that is, no matter what kind of order Yang Chen gives, they will fully abide by it and carry it out.
Yang Chen didn't say why, and they didn't ask.
And with the sound of fighter engines piercing the sky in the northeast sky, one after another fighter planes broke through the clouds again, and bombarded the positions outside the city, discarding one aerial bomb after another and smashing them on the positions of the previous first battalion, as well as the second and third battalions, they finally reacted.
It turned out that all this had long been under the control of their group seat and Yang Chen.
Feeling the deafening explosion outside the city, even the whole land was trembling slightly, and the heads of many soldiers of the guard regiment were covered with a thick layer of dust falling from the ceiling of the air defense fortifications, like groundhogs.
With such a powerful bombardment, if they were still stationed in their positions outside the city at this moment, even if they hid in the air defense fortifications, I am afraid that many soldiers would be shocked out of internal injuries or directly shocked to death.
At this moment, all the soldiers wrote a big word "service" in their hearts!
Strategize, win thousands of miles, and play the little devil in applause.
Their group seat is really divine, just like Kong Ming in the world!
……
The picture pulls to the former enemy headquarters of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.
This time, the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, came to the front line to direct the battle.
The purpose is obvious, that is, to annihilate the Chinese Second Theater Guard Regiment in one fell swoop!
The artillery units of the 20th Field Artillery Wing and the 28th Infantry Wing directly under the division have been assembled and are ready to go.
When the fighters from a distance broke through the air, Kenji Dohihara decisively gave the order to bomb, and took the enemy positions outside the county seat of Yingxian as the main bombing target.
Last time, they just suffered the loss of blowing up the wrong target, and this time, the same mistake, will definitely not be made a second time!
The aviation units and the 14th division did not belong to the same battle sequence, and there was no contact between the two sides.
Thus, the aviation forces practically did not have specialized bombing targets.
All this requires the guidance of the artillery of the 14th Division, and it is not wrong to bomb with them anyway.
So Huh, a carpet bombing corresponding to the north, west and east of the county began.
Kenji Dohihara made a lot of money this time, and the shells kept pouring over the position of the guard regiment as if they didn't want money.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom! ——”
"Boom, boom, boom! ——”
In the midst of a series of explosions, dazzling red lights rose from the ground and soared into the sky.
In the red light, countless pieces of rubble and earth of various sizes, as well as shattered shrapnel, flew wildly along with the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion.
In the end, the entire clearing directly evolved into a sea of flames, smoke and gunsmoke, a forbidden area of death!
This bombardment lasted more than 40 minutes, which was a little more violent than the last bombing of the county seat of Yingxian.
It wasn't until the entire position was covered with carpet fire several times, covered with countless large and small, shocking craters, that the little devils stopped bombing.
Of course, there are also reasons why the aviation units drop all the aerial bombs carried by the fighters.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army launched a charge against the thick choking smoke above the position.
At this time, the smoke of gunpowder was filled and the view was blocked.
When the shelling of the little devils stopped, the officers and men of the guard regiment also quietly went out of the city and rushed towards the front line under the order and instruction of Yang Chen.
This time, in order to annihilate the guard regiment in one fell swoop, Kenji Dohihara sent almost all the available soldiers.
By the time the positions of the Guards Regiment were shelled, all the units were already in position and ready for battle.
Among them, two wings under the 28th Infantry Brigade, the 15th Infantry Wing and the 50th Infantry Wing, have all been sent to the front.
With the coordination and cooperation of the tank brigade directly under the division and the tank brigade, Yingxian County was surrounded by the county seat from the north, west, and east directions.
And in the south direction, there is also a guard brigade directly under the division and regiment, and a detachment directly under the division is responsible for the defensive guard.
As long as the guard regiment dares to retreat from due south, it will be met with a head-on attack from them!
This time, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army can be said to have surrounded the county seat and the guard regiment of Yingxian County, aiming to annihilate it here in one fell swoop.
In Kenji Dohihara's view, after the bombing just now, the enemy troops on the positions outside the city have either been killed or retreated to the county seat.
Therefore, Yingxian County is the key target and the main target of this offensive.
The county seat of Yingxian County has been carpet-bombed before, and the buildings in the city have been blown down nine times out of ten.
This is not a metropolis like Shanghai, where there are very few sturdy buildings made of reinforced concrete.
Therefore, under the bombardment of the Japanese army, all of them collapsed, if it were not for the guard regiment digging perfect air defense fortifications in advance, I am afraid that under the bombardment of the little devils, there would have been heavy casualties.
This time, the commander of the division, Kenji Dohihara, personally came to the headquarters of the former enemy and sat in command of the three armies.
The 28th Infantry Brigade, the brigade commander Takashi Sakai, acted as the commander of the former enemy, personally directing the battle in the frontline positions.
On the Japanese position, the 14th Division almost poured out, dispatching thousands of men to participate in the attack.
In the three directions of due north, west and east, more than 2,000 devils are densely arranged in each direction. Among them, there are hundreds of tanks and armored fighting vehicles in echelon ranks.
"Kill the chicken and give it!"
With the 28th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the brigade commander, Major General Takashi Sakai, drew his sword, pointed diagonally to the sky, and waved it forward.
These thousands of devil infantry immediately divided into three directions, moved forward with guns in hand, and began to attack.
The devil's tanks and armored combat vehicles also emitted puffs of green smoke from their tails, and their engines made a deafening roar, moving forward in unison.
This time, the little devil seems to have learned well, and with the lessons of the past, the devil's tank is no longer in the forefront.
Instead, they hid in the crowd of devil infantry and distanced themselves from the guard regiment to reduce the accuracy of the artillery of the guard regiment.
After all, the previous scene of shelling tanks and armored combat vehicles still haunts Tofei Yuanxianji's heart.
Even with the heavy artillery bombardment just now, he was not sure that all the enemy artillery fire would be wiped out.
After all, what they are facing this time is the most famous group in the world!
Therefore, these hundreds of devil tanks and armored fighting vehicles are not taking the lead this time, their task is to provide accurate direct-aim artillery support for the infantry in the offensive as much as possible, and destroy the heavy machine guns and other important firepower points that suppress the defenders.
As for the task of the charge, it is still up to the infantry!
As for the casualties, Kenji Dohihara doesn't care at all, as long as he can annihilate the first regiment in the world, let alone a brigade, even if it costs most of the division, it is worth it!
Therefore, under the offensive of the devils regardless of casualties, a real bloody battle officially kicked off!
