Chapter 178: After beating the devil, go home for the Spring Festival

On November 20, a heavy snow suddenly fell in the sky.

The land of Qilu was covered in snow, and the slightly monotonous scenery made some soldiers of the East China Army from Fujian and Guangdong feel very surprised, they had never seen such a heavy snow.

The East China Army of the two group armies was braving the wind and snow to march towards the Western Front, either by motorcycle or truck, and the advance speed was very fast, and it was expected that it would only take two hours to reach the battlefield on the Western Front.

Army Group C had already received the news and was also preparing for an offensive in the trenches of the Western Front.

The gunboats of the East China Navy have long been on standby in Laizhou Bay on the Western Front, ready to shell the troops on the Western Front at any time, and at the same time, the Navy's electronic jamming of the land is also underway.

Since the morning, the general headquarters of the army has not used the radio normally, and communication must rely on wired telephones, and the scope of the laying of wired telephones is not too large.

What makes Uchiyama Kojiro feel angry is that even if it is a wired phone, it has been cut twice today, otherwise it will not be able to contact the Eastern Front troops at all.

In the face of this unfamiliar electronic warfare, the army was at a loss and had no experience in dealing with it.

Uchiyama estimated that the southern front should be able to resist for a while, but since three hours ago, there has been no news from the western front, which makes him a little worried.

Obviously, the attack of the people of China is fierce!

The sudden change in the situation also made Uchiyama Kojiro feel a little overwhelmed, especially since the previous report on the southern front mentioned that the Shina people used a very terrifying new weapon, a moving steel vehicle, and rifles and machine guns could not effectively kill this vehicle.

Such a vehicle can quickly break through the trenches!

This change was like a sudden defeat of the navy, which caught Uchiyama Kojiro off guard, and when he received the news of the defeat of the navy, his first thought was to inflict huge damage on the people of China with a trench, but now it is obviously a little unrealistic.

Desperate situation, the 800,000 imperial army has fallen into an unprecedented desperate situation, even in the Russian War of the year!

At this point, we can only talk about the transfer of troops from the Eastern Front first.

Just when Uchiyama Kojiro was suspecting that the southern front had been breached, a phone call came to the headquarters and reported that the Shina people were marching towards Longkou.

This news frightened Uchiyama Kojiro to the point that he was about to lose his soul, and their general headquarters was located in Longkou, only twelve kilometers away from the southern line.

If the enemy marches a little faster, it will take only half an hour to reach the general headquarters.

"Order the entire crew to retreat eastward." Yamauchi Kojiro has no choice, as long as it is the best policy to go first, cross the Huangshui River and join the large imperial army first.

As soon as this order was given, there was chaos in the headquarters, and many documents were thrown away under the order of Kojiro Yamauchi.

In less than five minutes, the entire headquarters retreated, and before leaving, the things in the headquarters were burned and burned to the ground, even a large amount of materials hoarded in Longkou, and then retreated to the eastern front in the heavy snow.

Because of the snow, the advance speed of the East China Army was hindered, and by the time the East China Army reached Longkou, the Yue army in Longkou had already retreated.

Without stopping, the East China Army continued to run over the Western Front, and it was only about half an hour before it appeared behind the Western Front.

The 100,000 troops on the Western Front suddenly found that the enemy was behind them, and they panicked for a moment, and at this time, the East China Navy in Laizhou Bay launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the Western Front Army.

The navy's artillery is all super-caliber, and the power of that cannon is definitely more powerful than most army artillery.

I saw a shell hit the position of the Yue army, and the entire position was flattened by nearly two meters, and the Yue army below was blown to the ground.

A large number of bombs fell from the sky, blowing up all the positions of the Japanese army, and many of the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches were killed under the fierce bombardment, and the appearance of the corpses was very miserable.

When the East China Army appeared behind the Yue Army, the Yue Army in the trench suddenly rushed out of the trench, charged forward with a rifle, and shouted: "Load!" ”

The Western Front Army has realized that something is wrong, and the East China Army will appear behind them, which means that the defense line of the Southern Front or the Eastern Front has been broken.

At this time, they had fallen into the embarrassing situation of two bread sandwiches, and many of the soldiers of the Yue Army, who were deeply poisoned by the spirit of bushido, felt that instead of hiding in the trench and being blown up, it was better to rush out and die vigorously~!

This is one of the tactics of the book, the meat bullet defeats the cannonball, and the machine fights wit!

However, the chariots invested by the East China Army are new gadgets, and the army doesn't know how to fight wits if they want to, and they have no experience at all.

The result of rushing out of the trench was to be beaten into a sieve by machine guns, and the machine guns swept through the oncoming chariots, sweeping down those soldiers one by one.

These armies did not even stop the advance of the East China Army, and the roar of the engines of the chariots filled the entire battlefield, and the earth was crushed and trembled.

When they arrived at the battlefield, the infantry divisions behind also quickly launched an attack formation, the soldiers jumped out of the trucks one after another, and the artillery division set up the artillery.

At this time, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the East China Army was still full of energy.

The real heavy shelling only began at this time!

Countless artillery shells slanted down from the artillery positions towards the defense line of the army, pressing the army on the western front so that it could not raise its head, and the mortars of Army groups A and B, as well as the mortar shells of the nine infantry divisions of Army C three kilometers away from Army A and B, also began to pour into the defense line of the army.

It's just a rain of shells!

After this frenzied shelling lasted for about half an hour, the Japanese army's defensive line had become a mess, and the Japanese troops in the trenches suffered heavy casualties under the shelling.

"The whole 01 armored division assaults!"

"The 02 Armored Division is all assaulted!"

"The 03 Armored Division is all assaulting!"

Lin Chenggui used the radio station to issue an order for a surprise attack, and the three armored divisions immediately ran over the positions of the Yue army in front, and the more than 600,000 national war troops launched a two-sided attack on the Western Front like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The Western Front Army was already vulnerable at this time, and the resistance of the three armies A, B, and C was very weak, because the resistance of the Army was stifled by the armored combat vehicles in front.

Once there is a heavy firepower point in the Chinese army, tank guns, mortars, grenadiers, sniper rifles, airplanes, and other weapons will pour fire on these heavy firepower points, and each method can effectively destroy the heavy firepower points of the Chinese army.

The soldiers who emerged from the trenches became the ghosts of the chariot machine guns, or were suppressed by the intensive fire of the chariot machine guns, and basically had no chance to shoot at the head.

Behind the chariot, the infantry quickly followed, skillfully jumping into the trench to engage in close combat with the remaining Japanese troops in the trench, and the sound of machine guns and submachine guns resounded throughout the battlefield.

The most brutal fighting in the trenches is the battle of cold weapons, but the East China Army is equipped with weapons to deal with trench warfare, and in most cases, there will be almost no cold weapon battles.

Of course, what is more cruel than cold weapons is the shotgun equipped by the East China Army.

The soldiers of the East China Army generally called the Type 14 shotgun "one piece of death", which means that one shot can kill one person.

Being shot by a shotgun has absolutely no chance of survival, and the death is very tragic.

The morale-like national army fought fiercely with the Yue army in the trench for less than an hour, and the Yue army in the trench was basically wiped out, and most of the 100,000 Yue troops were killed.

This then enters the deep sweep phase, where a large number of flamethrowers begin to sweep the flames of those locations that can be hidden.

Some of the soldiers were burned to death inside, and some of them raised their hands in surrender with their faces crying, and the cruelty of these flames was far stronger than that of shotguns.

If you are hit by a shotgun, you may die immediately, but when you are burned by these flames, the pain can be imagined, even if you are strong-willed, you will be shaken in the smoke and flames, and if you are lucky not to be burned to death, many soldiers will raise their hands and surrender.

On a high ground in the distance, the high-ranking officers commanding the battle were overlooking the entire battlefield with binoculars, and Zhang Jiyu said with a smile: "Hehe! The Western Front has also been settled, and the last Eastern Front remains, and the prosperity of the country is just around the corner. ”

"Hmmm! Hehe! Lin Chenggui smiled and nodded, still like a stuffy gourd.

"The chairman said that we will have a holiday after the war, where do you want to go to relax and relax." Zhang Jiyu said mysteriously: "I heard that a group of white girls came to the red light district of Hangzhou, and they are in good shape, so let's go together when the time comes." ”

"I'd better go home and read!" Lin Chenggui shook his head lightly and said, "I haven't read half of that "New Era War"! ”

"Alright! All right! Zhang Sigou was helpless, the book "War in the New Era" was an internal textbook written by Xia Jun himself, which was only circulated among high-level officers, and it was forbidden to spread outside.

The book clearly indicates the pattern of future warfare, as well as the possible course of evolution. However, Lin Chenggui has seen half of it, after all, it is all about the future tactical evolution.

Xia Jun's purpose in writing this book is to guide the future road of army building, although the tone of speculation used in the book, but it is the evolution process that has occurred in later generations, so most of them are correct.

With this guidance, the [***] team will not have to take detours in the future.

Lin Chenggui has a low culture, so he has been catching up hard all these years, and he is very serious in learning, but his grades are not satisfactory every time.

However, hard work must be rewarded, Lin Chenggui's level has gradually risen in the past two years, and now he has been appointed by Xia Jun as the commander of Group A Army.

Zhang Jiyu feels that his cultural level is much higher than Lin Chenggui, and the only difference may be when he cut his braids.

Lin Chenggui was the first to cut his braids when he cut them, and he Zhang Sigou was the fifth to cut them, and he still remembers the events of that year very clearly.

However, at that time, he took the group of bandit brothers to cut his braids and resolutely asked to join the security group, which was also the most correct choice in his life.

Perhaps, it is also Lin Chenggui's generosity that makes the chairman feel more reassured.

"If we continue to fight at this speed, we will probably be able to rush home for the Spring Festival after beating the devils." Lin Chenggui saw that the army on the battlefield had been basically wiped out, so he estimated.

The Spring Festival is February 3 next year, and there is plenty of time in terms of the Shandong war situation, but there are still actions in the future.
