Chapter 1403: Battle Suihua (2)

An Yi was leaning on a nap, and the car braked suddenly and violently, if it weren't for Shen Fengdao's quick eyes and hands to protect his forehead with his hands, it is estimated that he would have to have an intimate contact with the backrest in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An Yi was completely sleepy, ripped off the thin blanket covered by Shen Fengdao, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" He asked, and wanted to push the car door and go down to take a look.

Shen Fengdao took his hand vigilantly: "Don't be busy going down first, listen to Xiao Jiu first." ”

An Yi retracted his hand knowingly, looked forward through the bulletproof glass on the car window, and saw that under the light of a bright moon, the road was sparkling on both sides, and the scenery was extremely pleasant. It is worthy of the south of the Yangtze River, with vast blue waves, and it is difficult to see the beautiful scenery of this kind of lake after lake in other places.

After a while, Lin Yaodong ran over from the front, leaned in front of the window and said, "Commander, more than a dozen fleeing children are blocking the front, and two of them fainted on the road, and it is said that they fainted from hunger." The guards have taken control of the surroundings, go down and take a look? ”

"Little children?"

An Yi glanced left and right, there was no reference except the lake, and asked with some confusion: "Which area is this, and is there any of our troops stationed nearby?" ”

"Just after the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, in front of Pingwang Town, the 26th Army has a military station here, responsible for the transfer of materials and the recruitment of soldiers, and there is probably a battalion stationed there." Shen Fengdao thought about it and answered.

An Yi was relieved: "In this case, it's no wonder that Xia Jian and Hutou are expected to flee here from Shanghai by water." Let's go, go and see what's going on. ”

When I got out of the car and crossed the twelve big leopards, I saw more than a dozen children of six or seven years old squatting on the road, curled up together. When they saw another person coming, they looked up in horror, their black faces covered with dirt, and their big black and white eyes full of grief and despair.

Looking at this suffocating gaze, An Yi's heart was sour, he touched his body, and found that the pockets of his clothes were bulging, and he was happy. When I had dinner with Ye Zixin and Yu Kexin in Suzhou Songhe Tower in the evening, I learned that yesterday was Yu Kexin's birthday, and An Yi did not prepare a gift, so he asked Xiao Jiu to go to the Suzhou branch of Jiangnan Group and asked for some exquisite candies, including chocolate candy. When he left after eating, Ye Zixin grabbed a large handful of chocolate and stuffed it into his pocket, saying that it must have been very late after the meeting, and the chocolate carrier was high, just to fill his stomach, and now it came in handy.

An Yi squatted, took out the chocolates, and handed them out to these children one by one.

"Kids, where are you from? Why aren't there any adults with you? ”

An Yi was not discouraged when he saw the children at a loss, and took out a chocolate from his pocket, demonstrated how to peel off the candy wrapper, and then put it to the mouth of one of the children. At first, the child was still very scared, but ***, found it delicious, and was wary, greedily put the sugar in his mouth and chewed it.

The rest of the children did the same, peeling off the candy wrapper, putting the chocolate in their mouths, and cheering in surprise.

The first child, who looked a little older, swallowed a few mouthfuls of chocolate, plucked up his courage and said, "Uncle, we are all from Shanghai. Now that Shanghai is in chaos and we can't get anything to eat, we saw that the concession was full of welfare homes for children, so we and our friends found a random one to sign up.

"Yesterday, my uncle and aunt at the welfare home said that they had found an adoptive family for us and wanted to send us to Jiangbei, so they took a boat from Wusong River all the way to here. But those uncles and aunts were so stingy that they didn't give us a bite to eat along the way. When I got up in the middle of the night, I heard several of my uncles and aunts talking about ***, I felt a little scared, so I called our friends, and slipped down while the boat was resting on the reed beach in front, and walked all the way here, but the little six and eight fainted from hunger, blocking your way...... Uncle, let us go, we won't be in the way next time......"

"Uncle won't blame you, I'll take you to dinner later. By the way, little girl, how do you know that they are talking ***? ”

An Yi asked with a smile. This child's voice is delicate and tender, and when you hear it, you know that it is a girl.

Society is really the most sharpening people, and in the next generation, they are still coquettish in the arms of their parents at such an age, and they have already entered the society and have to work hard for their own survival.

The other head was almost bald, and only the child with three hairs standing up on the top of his head rushed to say: "It's very simple, I used to beg in Hongkou, and those *** people were the most annoying, not only didn't give them food, but also beat people, and their gurgling words were easy to recognize." ”

Nodding encouragingly, An Yi pondered in his heart, how could *** people be so kind and come to China to take in orphans? After thinking about it, he asked again, "Are there many children adopted by that welfare home?" ”

"Many, many!"

The children replied in a gossipy, and the little girl at the head said: "This welfare home is a little weird, we only know after we go in, they generally only adopt children from one to three years old, and they also send someone to take them, at first I listened to the songs sung by those nursery workers with very strange tunes, and I didn't understand what they were singing, but today I heard them say *** words, I remembered that those are *** songs." Children are treated very favorably, and three meals a day are guaranteed, but those of us who are a little older never get enough to eat. ”

An Yi's heart became more and more awe-inspiring, Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong glanced at each other, Shen Ziling and Cheng Shiming wanted to speak, but An Yi had already stood up and ordered:

"After taking the children in the car, we will go to Pingwang Town in front of us and make a good meal for them. Immediately notify Xia Jian and Hutou to come to Pingwang Town for a meeting, *** people have stretched out their black hands under our noses, how can we rest assured if we don't cut it off? ”

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer took the order and left.

An Yi smiled and said to the children: "Little friend, can your uncle take you to dinner?" ”

An Yi has a natural affinity, the children just ate his chocolate candy, one by one smiled, An Yi was not dirty at all, hugged the little girl, took the bald little boy in his hand, and walked towards his special car.

......

In the night, Major General Tadahito Okamoto, the supreme commander of Suiyuan City, quietly touched the city wall, and silently observed the movements of the squadron from the telescope by the light of the flares.

Fearing that the squadron would suddenly launch an artillery bombardment, causing Major General Okamoto's name to be included in the first batch of killed lists, the staff officers and attendants couldn't help but say that they dragged Okamoto off the city wall.

Okamoto's luck was good, and as soon as he returned to the headquarters building on the street in the middle of the city, the sound of earth-shaking shelling outside the city began to sound again.

Thirty 152-mm cannon howitzers, fifty 122-mm and 107-mm howitzers and anti-aircraft guns of various types, one hundred and twenty 70-mm and 75-mm infantry, field and mountain guns, and more than 200 mortars of various calibers of the Fifth Division Artillery Regiment roared in unison.

The salvo of more than 400 artillery pieces was earth-shattering.

The artillery regiment of the Fifth Division completely adhered to the Soviet Union's first-class artillery doctrine of operation, shells of various calibers, like raindrops poured on the Japanese defense line, in just three or four minutes, tens of thousands of shells turned over the Japanese fortifications and fortresses outside Suihua City several times, all the trenches were flattened by artillery fire, and all kinds of open and dark forts have not yet taken effect, they have become living coffins to bury devils.

The artillery fire was intensive, and the large fireballs that exploded formed a continuous sea of terrifying fire, forming a wall of death flames of flames and shrapnel, and all the Japanese puppet soldiers covered by artillery fire were all bonesless, flying into the sky in the firelight, turning into broken pieces of meat that caught fire.

Since the end of the war in Europe, when has the Japanese army seen such an artillery attack of this intensity? The outer fortifications in the north and east of Suihua City were blown up by dense shells, and the few remaining devils hid in the anti-artillery holes, shivering.

The heavy shelling stopped, and the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Tank Regiment directly under the 5th Division, led by two T-28 medium tanks, eight T-26 light tanks, 16 Soviet-made BA-27 four-wheeled armored vehicles, and five Japanese-made 92-wheeled armored vehicles rushed out of the attack positions and pounced on the Japanese positions that had been swept away by the shells.

The infantry followed closely behind and rushed towards the Japanese positions.

Ten tanks and twenty-one armored vehicles frantically attacked all moving enemies, and the ground assault troops of the 5th and 6th Divisions, under the cover of mortars and grenadiers, rushed to the Japanese puppet army fortifications with lightning speed.

Tanks and armored vehicles broke through the flattened trenches and tore apart the Japanese defense line, and while continuing to advance forward, they strafed, and the bullets and shells splashed bursts of flying sand and rocks in the positions on the left and right, and the devil soldiers and puppet soldiers fell in a pool of blood one after another.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the last three lines of defense arranged by the Japanese puppet army outside Suihua City were all broken through by the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division, and all the Japanese puppet troops arranged outside Suihua City were annihilated.

Inside Suihua City, Okamoto Tadahito was walking around like an ant on a hot pot, and at this time, a staff officer entered the headquarters and hurriedly reported: "General, the people outside the city suddenly stopped attacking, I don't know if there is some conspiracy?" ”

"Oh?"

Okamoto Tadahito was a little surprised, and when he listened to it, the gunfire outside the east and north gates of the city gradually thinned out, and in doubt, he hurriedly came to the fourth floor of the headquarters, stood in front of the window facing east, and picked up the telescope to observe carefully.

After the Japanese army ruled the northeast, every city would build a landmark building, as a proof of the Japanese army's wise rule, this four- or five-story building made of reinforced concrete would serve as the office of the puppet government, and once the war came, it would automatically become the command center of the defense.

Putting down the binoculars, Tadahito Okamoto turned his head and said to his subordinates: "In the face of our strong city defense, the people of Shina are at a loss, maybe they are retreating in the face of difficulties, or maybe they are looking for suitable siege equipment!" The battle is not over yet, and you still have to continue to work hard. ”

"With the pig's head of the Chinese people, it is also possible that they want to besiege us for a long time and force us to surrender!" Wing Captain Shinroku Ono said with a smile.

All the devils who were gathered around Major General Okamoto laughed happily when they heard this.

"What a laugh, if their leading generals have this thought, it will be too good news for us! Now our million-strong army is marching towards the north of Manchuria, and in less than a week, the Chinese guerrillas will be completely defeated. Don't even have to wait for a week, last night the Kwantung Army Headquarters sent a secret telegram that two *** brigades had been secretly mobilized to the north to support us, and at that time, we would be able to completely annihilate this Chinese army outside the city! Tadahito Okamoto said with a smile.

"You must let the stupid Zhi Na person taste the power of my big *** emperor *** team!" One of the staff officers spoke arrogantly, completely oblivious to his fear of the artillery bombardment of the walls.

Just when Tadahito Okamoto and a group of generals were talking and laughing, a deafening roar sounded outside the city again, and large cannons and small cannons of various calibers fired dense shells like a torrential rain at the head of Suihua City.

What is the power of 30 152-mm cannon howitzers, 50 122-mm and 107-mm howitzers and anti-aircraft guns of various types, 120 70-mm and 75-mm infantry, field and mountain guns, and more than 200 mortars of various calibers. Thousands of shells with a piercing screech screeched down on the Japanese fortifications.

The artillerymen were busy sweating in front of the gun position, and many loaders simply took off their shirts and carried the shells back and forth nervously with their shirts.

The fortifications that the Japanese had painstakingly operated for five years flew into the sky one after another with the sound of explosions.

The cannon maniac Luo Yaomin was too addicted this time, watching the flames rising from the city, and the billowing smoke reaching into the sky, he couldn't help laughing.

The Japanese puppet army on the city wall only felt as if they were in a stormy sea, so shocked by the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion that they could not even stand on their heels.

After a long period of heavy shelling, the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived quickly burrowed into the inside of those strong fortifications, hoping that the reinforced concrete frame with a thickness of four meters could ensure their safety.

Facts have proved that their prayers have had a certain effect, and although the Soviet-style and Japanese-style artillery equipped by the Fifth Division Artillery Regiment also played a certain destructive role in dealing with the kind of strong fortifications that were more than four meters thick, they had to be completely destroyed, and I don't know how many shells had to be wasted, and the Japanese troops who had shrunk into turtle shells in a short period of time did not have to worry about the threat to their lives.

The devil who was hiding, listening to the overwhelming explosions outside, secretly rejoiced that he escaped quickly, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces by the ferocious artillery fire.

Just when the Japanese general in the command headquarters was still unable to tear through the city wall despite all his efforts, there was a "rumbling" roar in the northeast sky. Shocked by Tadahito Okamoto, he hurriedly raised his binoculars, only to see a swarthy steel dragon appear on the railway line extending from the distant horizon.

The steam locomotive roared terribly, panting heavily, dragging the armored train covered with muzzles, running over the railroad tracks that had just been laid, and crashing towards Suihua City like a tiger descending from a mountain.

In the Japanese headquarters, everyone's faces turned pale!
