Therefore, Okamura Ningji is definitely the most difficult opponent that Zhang Xinghan has encountered since he led the troops to resist the war.

It is not difficult to foresee, based on this person's performance in Yingkou.

If the Battle of Tongliao and the later Battle of North Manchuria, or the Battle of Shenyang, the commander of the army is Okamura Ninji.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Xinghan to win so smoothly and easily.

Perhaps, the situation in the Northeast will be a different scenario now.

However, these are all ifs, fortunately, Okamura Ninji was sent to the Tohoku too late, and now the Kwantung Army is basically gone, and the Tohoku New Army is gaining momentum.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan has absolute strength and the best chance to defeat his opponent now and in the future.

Jiang Baili lightly bowed his head and sighed: "Yes, this Okamura Ningji is not ordinary, we must deal with it with twelve points of spirit." ”

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan said: "Order the 1st and 4th Divisions of Reading Li to make preparations for response, and be responsible for feints from the west and south to attract and disperse the forces of the Yue Army, and I will personally command the 9th Division and the 10th Division to take the lead in the main attack." ”

........................ "俅俅俅俅...... Boom, boom, boom, boom "Boom Boom ......Boom T

One after another, the bombs roared down with a sharp and piercing sound, causing violent explosions.

The entire position of the army was turned into a sea of fire.

At the same time, about six heavy artillery battalions with a total of 118 150mm heavy howitzers were also pouring shells on the positions of the Japanese army.

The shelling and bombardment lasted for two hours, and the dense and heavy artillery fire covered the devil's position back and forth like a plow.

The smell of scorched earth was everywhere on the army's position, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and in the trenches and anti-artillery holes, countless wounded soldiers were wailing miserably.

"Quick, quick, drip!" More devil soldiers quickly drilled out of the bunkers and other bunkers for self-defense at the urging of their commanders.

At the same time, the 9th and 10th Divisions were in an observation post in the joint sortie position.

Seeing that the shelling and bombardment had ended, Gao Chu said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, can we start the attack?" ”

Zhang Xinghan put down the telescope unhurriedly, turned his head to look at Gao Chu and Du Ting and the others who were eager to try, and said with a sneer: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, order the artillery group, and fire the artillery again in five minutes, and take the devil by surprise!" ”

Gao Chu and Du Ting looked at each other, Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly: "Our bombing and shelling lasted for more than two hours, you all think we should attack, let alone the devils?"

Now most of the devils should have just come out of the fortified bunkers where they were hiding, ready to meet us, and at this time I will order the artillery group to suddenly shell, and I will definitely reap the unexpected effect. ”

"Commander Wise!" The two suddenly realized and stood up and praised together.

As Zhang Xinghan expected, five minutes later, most of the surviving devil soldiers had already left the bunker, entered the trench, set up their weapons and equipment, and were ready to face the battle.

At this moment, the rapid shelling sound that made the scalp of the 114th Division tingle was once again heard in the sky.

Some of the devil's grassroots officers didn't even have time to react, and the dazzling fireballs smashed down on their positions with a piercing whistling sound.

Under the horrified gaze of countless devils, it exploded violently.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a high-explosive shell fired from a 150mm howitzer landed in one of the foxholes of the devils.

The flames from the huge explosion immediately covered the entire foxhole, and the four or five devil soldiers were blown up before they could scream.

Such explosions were staged one after another at the devil's position, and this sudden shelling lasted for more than half an hour before it was declared over.

The 127th Infantry Wing of the 102nd Brigade Regiment, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses.

In Yingkou City, it is called the army headquarters.

"Your Excellency General, it's not good, the Chinese army on the Dashiqiao battlefield is cunning, and it has caused great casualties to the enemy's 102nd Infantry Wing with a rapid attack of artillery fire." A devil staff officer put down the phone and saluted Okamura Ninji, who was discussing the military situation with Kentaro Kuroto and others.

"Artillery fire?" Okamura Ninji was slightly surprised when he heard this.

The devil's staff officer immediately told Okamura Ninji and others what happened on the front line.

After listening, Kentaro Kuroto was the first to frown and said, "The people of Shina are really cunning! ”

Okamura Ninji said thoughtfully: "The people of China have just suffered a big loss from us, and they will definitely not be as light as they were in the morning, and the next thing is the severe test we will really face." ”

After saying that, Okamura Ninji raised his head and instructed the staff officer: "Order the 56th Infantry Wing to immediately reinforce and replace the 102nd Wing, and make every effort to hold the frontal battlefield of Oshiqiao, and the 102nd Wing will withdraw to rest and stand by." ”

"Hay!" The devil staff officer suddenly bowed his head and turned to the telephone.

On the front line of the Dashiqiao battlefield, as soon as the artillery bombardment began to extend, Zhang Xinghan ordered a powerful attack force composed of two tank battalions and four infantry battalions to launch a rapid cluster charge against the artillery position! ”

Nearly seventy No. 4 tanks lined up, like a huge torrent of steel crushing towards the devil's position.

However, this time the two tank battalions were marching at full speed, so slow that the infantry could easily keep a close distance from them, so as to achieve the best effect of infantry coordination.

The gap between the tanks and behind the car was almost crowded with the infantry of the Northeast New Army, and behind most of these infantry, there was a group of relatively special soldiers.

They were fire support units carrying bazookas, mortars, and grenadiers.

A gust of wind blew on the battlefield, blowing away a lot of gunsmoke, making the field of vision on the battlefield suddenly widen.

The 102nd Infantry Wing, which had urgently replaced the 56th Infantry Wing, had already entered the position, and lying in the trenches, they could clearly see that the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army were slowly approaching.

The tanks, the black barrels of the tank guns, and the black-pressed infantry were all terrifying, and some devils began to nervous involuntarily.

After all, many of the devils are now reserve veterans and newly recruited recruits who have not touched a gun for many years.

Although they have undergone complete formal military training, many of them are still the first time that they have turned in the big girls in such a real and tragic actual combat battlefield.

However, the officers at all levels of the devil are all veterans with combat experience, and they seem to be extremely calm, and with them, the recruits of the devil can withstand the pressure and fear in their hearts and continue to stay.

And desperately fight with the Northeast New Army, otherwise they will never be able to stop the attack of the Northeast New Army.

Soon, the attacking forces of the Northeast New Army had already entered a distance of a kilometer, and at this moment.

Several Zero fighters suddenly flew in the blue sky, and without saying a word, these planes immediately swooped towards the devil's position.

When it reaches a certain altitude, it immediately opens full fire and conducts ultra-low-altitude dive strafing at the devil's position.

"Dada...... Da ......" The piercing and dense machine guns and course machine guns fired loudly, and hot and dazzling tongues of fire erupted one after another.

"Bang bang bang...... "The devil position ...... hit with dirt chips, and some unlucky devil soldiers couldn't dodge it, and they were shot and fell on the spot.

At this time, more than 70 No. 4 tanks of the offensive force of the Northeast New Army opened fire one after another.

All tank guns were reloaded with white phosphorus shells, after a series of muffled tom tom toms.

Dozens of white phosphorus bombs fell into the devil's position, and immediately exploded like brilliant fireworks.

Everywhere he went, he was touched, and from time to time there were devils who were caught by the flames, rolling on the ground and not extinguishing, and then his whole body burned, and he howled miserably.

Although the white phosphorus bomb was extremely lethal, its destructive power to the fortifications was not high, so the shelling just now was basically useless.

All the high-explosive shells were used in order to destroy the fortifications of the army as much as possible so as to facilitate the next attack.

Now that the distance is close, the military fortifications have also been bombed to pieces, and the devil soldiers in the trenches have no way to hide, and they are suddenly killed and injured by white phosphorus bombs.

The shelling lasted for less than a few minutes, and they were within range of the Devil's machine guns.

The Devil Gunners, who were lucky enough not to die, opened fire one after another.

At the same time, the parallel machine guns on the tank also returned fire.

The machine guns of both sides opened fierce fire, and the dense bullets hit the tank armor with a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

When the tank group guided the infantry to advance to less than 100 meters from the devil's trench, the devils of the 56th Wing immediately reused the old plan.

After a deafening sound, a burst of smoke bombs squeaked and flew towards the attacking troops of the Northeast New Army.

"Commander, look, the devils are starting to fire smoke grenades again." In the observation post of the Northeast New Army, Gao Chu pointed ahead and said urgently.

Zhang Xinghan held up the binoculars and looked at it, but did not say much, he had already done everything he could before the attack, and now it depends on the performance of the attacking troops.

In order to increase the close-range heavy firepower of the attacking troops, he took out 300 Bazooka grenadiers from his watch and provided them to the 9th and 10th Divisions of the Reading Force for exclusive use in the attack.

Soon, the attacking troops were completely enveloped in smoke.

Zhang Xinghan put down the binoculars and said, "Order the artillery group to immediately carry out an indiscriminate artillery attack on the rear of the devil's position to suppress the artillery fire of the army." ”

Soon, not long after the port fell silent, the six artillery battalions that had been replenished with shells opened fire again.

Clusters of flames pierced the sky with a whistling sound and flew towards the rear of the devil's position.

Some of the devil artillerymen who had just pulled out their bunkers and were about to carry out artillery bombardment were horrified when they saw this, and they dodged one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" A violent explosion sounded one after another, and for a while, the mountains shook behind the devil's position, and many devil artillery could not dodge, and even people and artillery were bombed into slag.
