42 105mm howitzers, 12 155mm howitzers, plus 81mm mortars from the machine gun company of each infantry battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment, so many artillery shells poured into the devil's position is very terrifying, and a large number of little devils were killed under these shells.

When the commander of the Devil's Major General Brigade saw that his position was completely covered by artillery fire, he saw with his own eyes that a large number of devils were blown away, and his heart was immediately shattered.

The artillery fire of the fighters was very dense and fierce, and after a few minutes of shelling, the artillery fire of the fighters began to extend, all the way to the depth of the devil's position, and the entire devil's position was hundreds of meters deep, and was repeatedly plowed by the soldiers' artillery fire.

The whole position was in shambles, unrecognizable, the fortifications that the little devils spent several hours hastily building were destroyed, and the ground was covered with big pits, and the corpses of the little devils, stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere.

At the back of the position, in the command headquarters, in addition to the commander of the Devil Major General's brigade and the wing commander, there are at least a dozen devil officers at all levels, and all of these people are hiding in this command headquarters.

This is a typical underground headquarters of civil engineering structure, the headquarters is tens of square meters in size, and the top is supported by thick wood, and the wood is covered with floating soil one or two meters later, and even sandbags and so on.

Inside the headquarters, there were several tables, not only maps, but also two or three radio stations, at this time, the headquarters was full of the figures of little devils, and the devil brigade was also hiding in this headquarters with a gloomy face, and the cannon was rumbling and the dirt was splashing outside. These little devils don't dare to go out.

At the top of the headquarters, the dirt fell down, and many of the devil officers were disgraced. Embarrassed, the tables in the command were covered with a layer of dirt.

"Boom!"

Apparently, a shell exploded right next to this headquarters, and the earth fell down more violently, and even the commander of the Devil Brigade was gray-faced, with his head and body covered with mud.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander. Our command was afraid that it would be difficult to withstand the bombardment of such large-caliber shells. A devil Nakasa said worriedly.

This is just a command headquarters that took several hours to build hastily, and there was no problem withstanding the bombardment of small-caliber artillery, this time. The shells that were bombarded were generally more than 100 mm, and there were also 155 mm caliber shells.

"Boom, boom!"

Two violent explosions sounded in a row, and the little devils in the command headquarters were stunned, and apparently two more shells hit here. The roof of the command was almost blasted through. Two or three pieces of thick wood broke at the bottom, and the entire command almost collapsed.

If you stay here, you will be buried alive, and the commander of the devil brigade shouted anxiously: "Quickly withdraw from the city, quickly and quickly!" ”

After speaking, with the command knife on his shoulder, the commander of the devil brigade personally led a group of devil officers out of this command center, and outside the command center, the sound of artillery seemed to be even more intense. As far as the eye could see, the entire position was exploding everywhere. Smoke fills the air.

With a loud "boom", a 155-millimeter caliber shell hit the entrance of the headquarters directly, and the violent explosion shattered a group of little devils who had just left the headquarters, including Major General Obaov, commander of the 128th Infantry Brigade

The shelling lasted for an hour, and the little devil's defensive position was almost a scorched earth, and after the shelling, the soldiers of the first infantry regiment succeeded in occupying this position without much effort, and the soldiers pointed directly at the city of Shaoxing not far away.

The whole two infantry divisions, 30,000 soldiers, with the assistance of a large number of heavy artillery, the momentum is like a bamboo, in the evening, the soldiers surrounded the city of Shaoxing on all sides, the soldiers came to the city, at night, the soldiers began to enter the city, annihilating the street battle of the 114th division of the little devil.

Knowing that the newly formed 6th Army had taken the initiative to attack, the Japanese troops in the north of Hangzhou, such as the 3rd Division in Suzhou, the Botian Detachment in Jiaxing, the 31st Division in Shanghai, and the 101st Division in Wuxi, under the orders of Okamura Ninji, began to attack in the direction of Hangzhou.

The Botian detachment in Jiaxing was the closest to Ye Feng's troops, and in the afternoon, the Botian detachment first exchanged fire with the soldiers, and the battle north of Hangzhou also began.

To the north of Hangzhou, Ye Feng deployed the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Division, and the 4th Division, a total of three infantry divisions, in addition, there were armored divisions, artillery divisions and other troops.

To the north of Hangzhou, a large area has long been under the control of the new Sixth Army, from Qingde County in the northeast, Huzhou City in the north, and Jiaxing in the northeast.

Little Japan began to act, and battles began everywhere around Hangzhou, and Okamura Ninji concentrated the strength of several divisions and regiments, and the 5th Brigade of the Artillery Regiment began to exchange fire with Ye Feng's new 6th Army.

The mechanized infantry divisions that reached the Shangyu area also began to exchange fire with the 18th and 29th divisions in the Ningbo area, and these two divisions were ordered to reinforce the 114th Division in Shaoxing, and Shangyu was the necessary place for these two divisions.

Relying on its excellent mobility and heavy firepower, the mechanized infantry division began to deal with and exchange fire with these reinforced little devils, and the battle in the Shangyu area fell into a stalemate stage.

Although there are many little devils in the Ningbo area, these little devils are too poor in mobility, and they are all field infantry, and they are often played by mechanized infantry divisions.

The third day of the battle.

Although the Japanese army north of Hangzhou was numerous, the devil troops could hardly advance an inch, and were firmly blocked by the soldiers.

Planes at Xiaoshan Airport frequently sorted, focusing on air strikes against the little devils north of Hangzhou, and even though these little devils were equipped with a certain amount of air defense weapons, they were beaten by the fighters without temper and suffered many casualties.

Although the fighters' planes were shot down a few times, the losses were very small compared to the little devils, and the planes at Xiaoshan Airport were dispatched one by one to carry out fierce blows above the heads of the little devils, and with the bombardment of artillery, little Japan had no choice.

The 5th Brigade of the Small Japanese Heavy Artillery did not know where to hide, and in the face of the bombing of so many aircraft, it was strange that the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade dared to come out.

The 114th Division of Shaoxing suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the 3rd Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division, and after three days of fighting, the main force of the 114th Division had been basically annihilated by the soldiers.

Ye Feng ordered that the 5th Infantry Division would continue to clean up the remnants of the enemy in Shaoxing, while the 3rd Infantry Division would begin to leave Shaoxing and drive to the Shangyu area, where it would converge with the mechanized infantry division.

In the city of Shaoxing.

The street fighting has been going on for three days, and the 114th Division has lost seven or eight out of ten, and the remaining three or four thousand remnants of the defeated army will be divided and surrounded by the fighters and will be annihilated one by one.

The guns in the city are full of guns, and there are soldiers everywhere, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the 5th Infantry Division who stayed in Shaoxing to clean up the remnants of the enemy are exchanging fire with the little devils everywhere.

The whole battle situation was already under the control of the fighters, some of the main streets were all controlled by the fighters, the soldiers built barricades, some commanding heights were also occupied by the fighters, and even erected machine guns.

The remnants of the little devils are cowering in some relatively sturdy buildings, such as concrete buildings, schools, factories and warehouses, etc.

Headquarters of the 114th Division.

The area where the headquarters is located has almost become an isolated island, this area has basically been surrounded by soldiers, and in an area of less than half a square kilometer, the number of little devils may be more than a thousand, accounting for almost half of the number of remnant devils in the entire Shaoxing.

These devils are still stubbornly resisting under the cover of buildings, and there are also a lot of devils in the headquarters of the 114th Division, a large number of devil soldiers, at least hundreds of devils protect this command regiment, and there are a large number of little devil officers in the headquarters.

These devil officers included Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, Saburo Isoda Osa, chief of staff, Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama, commander of the 127th Brigade, and several wing commanders, group leaders, etc., all of whom retreated to this headquarters.

The fierce gunfire outside was clearly heard, and the entire command headquarters was gloomy, and the ghost officers no longer had the same vigor as before, their heads were lowered, and their faces were miserable.

Shigeharu Suematsu also had a black face and didn't say a word. The battle came to this point, and Shigeharu Suematsu knew that he had been defeated.

"Your Excellency the division commander, let's break through the siege, gather all our strength and strength to break through in the direction of Ningbo." Saburo Isoda pleaded, Chief of Staff of the Devil.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Division Commander, if we don't break through again, we won't have a chance, once all of us are shattered, the entire 114th Division will be truly finished." A devil said with tears in his eyes.

Shigeharu Suematsu walked around, and only after a long time did he say: "Send a report to Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief Okamura Ninji that we will break through in the direction of Ningbo, and request to send troops to respond." ”

As soon as the order to break through was issued, a devil Shaozuo broke in in embarrassment, and shouted in panic: "Your Excellency the division commander, we can't stand it, there are many troops wearing strange military uniforms outside, very strong, coming directly towards our headquarters." ”

Outside the headquarters, Zhao Long and Long Yi led a large number of special combat personnel to eliminate the little devils, and more than 100 special combat personnel, divided into several routes, approached the headquarters of the 114th Division from different directions, with 20 or 30 special combat personnel on each road.

In addition to the special combat troops, there are also a large number of soldiers who are also following up, and the little devils on the periphery lose their helmets and throw their armor, and they suffer heavy casualties.

"Da, da, da"

Hearing the clear sound of Thomson's submachine gun firing outside, Shigeharu Suematsu said that his last moment had come.
