Chapter 394: The Great War Begins
Once upon a time, war was a game of more than people, more than courage.
The side with the numerical advantage, or the team with the iron will to bleed more than the enemy, will often win the eventual victory.
Yuan Zhenfeng's regiment stationed in Dingzhou City is such a team!
Not only do they have unparalleled determination and courage, but they also have the iron will to bite the devil even if they only have one breath left, but also because their hearts are full of hatred for the devil - because many of their hometowns have been wiped out under the aggression of the devil, and their relatives have been humiliated and killed!
There is only one purpose for them to be alive, and that is to take revenge on the devil!
In those modes of warfare in the past, teams like theirs, teams with determination, courage, and hatred, often worked miracles!
They also believe they can.
But now, seeing the Japanese array in front of the formation outside the city, seeing the rows of artillery fire, tanks, and dense light and heavy machine guns, everyone's hearts are chilling!
Although after nearly a year of preparation, although in recent months, because of the battle of Taurus Mountain, because Yuan Zhenfeng found Cai Shuncheng's body, their equipment has been greatly enriched.
But compared with the devil, the gap is still too big and too big......
The big one is desperate!
The way of the world has long changed!
War is no longer a game where victory or defeat can be decided by courage and determination, it has completely become a battle of equipment!
"Are you afraid?"
"Are you that scared?"
Yuan Zhenfeng looked at the soldiers with frightened expressions and desperate faces and roared: "In the past, when we were afraid, we could escape, and I will take you to escape, because our family is waiting for us to return home safely!" ”
"But now we can't run away, because we don't have a home left!"
"Our hometown has been turned into ruins by little devils, our relatives, who have been brutally killed, and now they are waiting for us to avenge them!"
"We have fled again and again for the sake of our families, and this time, we have to fight for our tragic deaths, and we want to take revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge, we want revenge!"
All the soldiers hissed and roared, they seemed to see the blood of their relatives gushing, and they saw that their relatives were pleading and begging before they died but were still killed, their eyes began to redden, and the blood was boiling wildly in their bodies......
"Let our relatives see that their sons, husbands and fathers are not bad breeds!"
"It's a big deal, and if you die, you have to let them know that with our old men here, they won't be bullied by the little devils in vain!"
All the roars converged into a river, echoing in the sky!
Before the battle even began, the air was already filled with the smell of blood and gunsmoke!
"These pigs aren't afraid of us?"
"Are they crazy?"
Countless Japanese soldiers looked at the soldiers of Yuan Zhenfeng's regiment on the opposite side who were crazy and roared at their side, and many Japanese soldiers also muttered in their hearts, and began to involuntarily let go of the arrogance in their hearts and waited for the battle!
Just looking at those eyes, the devils can already be sure that this Dingzhou City is not easy to fight!
"I can't imagine that this Yuan Zhenfeng and Yuan peeling troops actually have such a bloody side......"
Harada Shaozo held a telescope to observe the position of Dingzhou City, and when he saw those crazy Zhi Na soldiers, he couldn't help but glance back at Yoshino, and said in his heart No wonder this battle in Jinniu Mountain, thousands of you will be blocked by Yuan Zhenfeng's troops for a few days......
But he didn't understand, why did Yuan Zhenfeng, who has always been a soft persimmon, become like this?
"I've looked into it!"
Yoshino smiled bitterly: "The vast majority of the soldiers of Yuan Zhenfeng's regiment are composed of fellow villagers, in the battle of Xuzhou last year, our army suffered a heavy setback, in order to vent his anger, some generals issued an order to slaughter the city, and the small city of their hometown is among the slaughtered cities......
Harada nodded, this can explain the root cause of Yuan Zhenfeng's sudden abnormality in the face of the imperial army for most of the past half a year!
Looking at the soldier opposite, a famous sentence suddenly popped up in his mind - if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!
But as soon as this thought came to him, he quickly shook his head and snuffed it out!
He told himself, this is war!
There is no difference between good and evil in war, only victory and defeat!
The winner is king, and the loser is cole!
If the enemy is not convinced, then defeat them, or kill them all!
"Dingzhou City is up to me, and Ryuyi's fully mechanized squadron will be the main attack, the flanks and the rear, please Yoshino-kun!" Harada put down his binoculars and looked back.
"Don't worry!"
Yoshino sneered: "The Jindong detachment is moving towards this side, and our brigade has repeatedly suffered big losses in this bastard, this time, it's time to settle the general account with Zhang Ran and his Jindong detachment!" ”
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The two of them roared in unison, each arranging!
The divisions have already entered combat positions, ninety-two rifle guns, all kinds of mortars have also been erected!
Long Yi, the fully mechanized squadron, also arrived in front of the battle with three tanks!
"Before it gets dark, you must take down the defense line on the periphery of Dingzhou City!" Harada Road.
Long Yi slapped the tank under him fiercely and said with a cruel smile: "Yuan Zhengfeng, what are you going to stop us?" ”
Harada laughed, pulled out his command knife with a choked sound, and pointed forward: "Fire!" ”
Ninety-two rifle guns, mortars and other artillery fire, fire in unison!
The cannonballs whistled out of their chambers, tearing through the sky with a piercing roar, and smashed the calibrated fortifications, fortresses, and machine-gun arrays!
A rumbling explosion rang out, and the flames and smoke rose into the sky!
"Up!"
Under the cover of artillery fire, the infantry pulled out the formation, quickly approached the fortifications arranged outside the city, seized the advantageous terrain, set up machine gun arrays, arranged grenadiers, and made final preparations for the position......
As soon as the artillery stopped, the light and heavy machine guns that had just been set up immediately began to roar, and the bullets were fired at those positions like splashing water!
"Kill, give!"
As soon as Harada's sword pointed forward, the Japanese army opened the formation and alternately covered the past towards the fortifications built by Yuan Zhenfeng's troops!
"Hit ......"
A company commander shook off the floating soil all over his body, stared at the devil who was getting closer, and suddenly roared!
"Damn it......"
The machine gunner roared and pulled the trigger, and the soldiers rose from their trenches and opened fire......
"Seeing that there is no machine gun array, blast it for Lao Tzu - quick!"
Staff Officer Song pointed at the machine gun array where the devil was firing wildly!
The gunner quickly marked the position of the Japanese machine gun array, and the battle defense artillery shook violently!
With a bang, a shell smashed into the machine gun array more than 20 meters away, and while lifting a devil into the air, it also blew up a big crater in the ground!
"The second shot, 10 degrees to the left!"
The observers stared at the bullet point and screamed, and the artillerymen quickly adjusted the firing direction according to the instructions!
A cannonball, whistling!
That's the devil's artillery who discovered the location of the battle defense artillery!
Thundered......
The shells had just exploded near the anti-aircraft guns, and then more shells whizzed in!
The smoke cleared, and several artillerymen fell in a pool of blood!
But the remaining artillerymen got up again, continued to adjust the position of the muzzle, and spewed a mouthful of spit and roared: "Second shot, let it go......"
Cannonballs, whistling out......
The battlefield has never been just a battle of head-on combat, but also a process of multi-arm cooperation, mutual restraint and mutual restraint, and striving to uproot the strong points of the other side that may cause greater casualties to them one by one......
Yuan Zhenfeng clenched his fists tightly, and people kept reporting the latest battle situation in various positions.
The Japanese offensive was very fierce, and it seemed that they wanted to take the outlying positions outside the city on the first day, and the brothers outside the city not only suffered heavy casualties, but also consumed great supplies......
"Want to take my position on the outskirts of Dingzhou City in one day? The little devil still thinks that I, Yuan Zhenfeng, am the soft persimmon before? ”
Yuan Zhenfeng sneered and shouted: "Over there, pay attention to the consumption of ammunition in the peripheral positions at any time, and if there is a shortage, immediately replenish it - if you lose your position because the ammunition supply can't keep up, you let him come to me!" ”
The adjutant nodded, and said with some concern: "Now, the devil's tank has not been dispatched......"
At the mention of the little devil's tank, the corners of Yuan Zhenfeng's eyes jumped, he knew very well how difficult that iron pimple was to deal with.
But it's not without a countermeasure - so many gasoline barrels are buried in the back, but they are specially prepared for the tanks of the little devils!
So what he is more concerned about is the movements of Pingtongguan and the Jindong detachment!
After all, now, just Harada's brigade and half of the fully mechanized squadron began to attack, and the defense line that he had painstakingly managed was already stretched, and if the Jindong detachment could not contain the Yoshino brigade and let the Yoshino brigade also participate in the attack on the city, it would be really troublesome......
"When the devils launched an attack on us, Pingtongguan also handed over to the devils, especially the Beiya defense area, which was taken care of, not only by the Itagaki Class A Division to attack, but also with fighter planes, it seems that the devils clearly want to use Beiya as a breakthrough to open a gap in our Pingtongguan defense line!"
At the mention of Pingtongguan, the adjutant was in a heavy mood and didn't know how long he could hold it......
As for the Jindong detachment, they had just received a call, and Zhang Ran had recently led all his troops into the Yuanguang area, moving from the territory of Yuanguang to the periphery of Dingzhou......
And in order to prevent the Jindong detachment from attacking from behind, Yoshinobe has already been in various key places around it, and if he wants to participate in the siege in a short time, it is impossible!
"I can't imagine that when our regiment is in crisis, the only thing I can rely on is Zhang Ran's dirt and eight roads!"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhenfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little apology: "I knew that this guy was so trustworthy, when he asked for a cannon, I should actually give him a ......"
However, he did not regret it, after all, there were only three cannons in Dingzhou City, and if he really gave one to the Jindong detachment, then there would only be two cannons available to defend the city!
Then I remembered that I only had three guns to defend a city, and the little devil attacked the city this time, and there were more than a dozen mountain artillery mortars dispatched......
My heart is sour, and sorrow comes from it!
