[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 620: Decisive Battle Thirteen Ao Bao (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

At 10:10 a.m. on 28 October, the atmosphere in the 13th Aobao was very tense, the two armies were less than three kilometers apart, and the battle was about to break out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Liu Fengchi looked at the terrain of the Thirteen Ao Bao, he restrained his contempt for Major General Suzuki, although the behavior of the Japanese commander on the opposite side was a little stupid, but the means of arranging troops were really not low.

Moreover, the terrain of the Thirteen Ao Bao is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with more than a dozen undulating hills connected together, and only one road less than 50 meters wide in the middle can be passed. Due to the obstruction of the Fu River, the detour takes a lot of time, and the road is not easy to walk.

Since the Japanese army had already taken the lead, its infantry had repaired defensive positions on the hills on both sides of the road, Liu Fengchi took a look, there was an infantry squadron under the hillside on both sides, and there was also an infantry squadron on the mountainside, and there were also Japanese troops stationed on the top of the hill. Moreover, there are eight machine gun positions placed in the open by the Japanese army, and I don't know how many are hidden.

In addition, the scouts have found the Japanese artillery position, two kilometers away under a gentle slope, 36 mountain guns and 36 field guns, which have been aimed at their side, and at least two infantry squadrons are nearby to protect, judging from the artillery configuration of the Japanese artillery, there is not only one artillery wing at all, but like an artillery brigade, 72 medium-caliber artillery pieces are definitely a very considerable force on the Chinese battlefield, no wonder the little devil is so confident.

In addition, the scouts searched all the surrounding places, but they were stunned to find the cavalry division of the puppet Mongol army.

No wonder this Major General Suzuki gave up the county town of Bahrain and came here to stop them, the terrain here is indeed much more difficult to attack than the city of Bahrain. However, Major General Suzuki obviously forgot that Ma Zheng would at least take care of the people in the city of Bahrain, and it was impossible to bombard them with artillery, and there was no such concern in the field.

Besides, although the artillery strength of their reorganized third division is not as strong as that of the Japanese army, they also have an artillery regiment equipped with 12 mountain guns and 12 field guns.

More importantly, Liu Fengchi had just received Ma Zheng's order, and a mixed aviation group consisting of 4 fighters and 22 bombers was already on its way.

Although Liu Fengchi did not know when the military region would have its own air force, this was not a problem, the problem was that as long as this air force arrived on the battlefield, then these dozens of Japanese artillery pieces would not become a live target.

The battle of the reorganized third division against the 12th division of the Japanese army finally began, and the first to fire was of course the artillery, although the artillery under Liu Fengchi was not as much as the Japanese army, but in terms of the quality of the artillery, it was no worse than the Japanese army, all of which were Japanese-made 75mm mountain artillery and field artillery.

Moreover, judging from the arrangement of various arms of the Japanese army, Liu Fengchi found that this Japanese army obviously did not know that they also had formed artillery units, otherwise the artillery positions would not have been arranged so closely. So Liu Fengchi ordered the artillery regiment to take the lead in firing at the Japanese artillery positions to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army.

Reorganize the artillery positions of the 3rd Division. Artillery Regiment Command.

"Report to the regiment commander, the division commander ordered our regiment to immediately fire at the Japanese artillery positions!"

"Yes, send a report to the division, and say that we promise to complete the task!"

"Let the artillery observer report the location of the Japanese artillery positions and prepare for shelling!"

"112.8 degrees east longitude... 42.3 degrees north latitude..."

"Orders: 112.8, 42.3, 5 degrees in elevation, 5 rapid fire!"

"Yes, Zhuyuan is being revised!"

"Revisions complete!"

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

One cannonball after another dragged its long tail and flew into the distance, piercing the sky!

The artillery positions of the Japanese army were also in the midst of intense arrangement, and all the cannons were the most accurate on the battlefield, and all the gunners stood behind the cannons with cold expressions, waiting for orders from the command.

At this time, suddenly a flame came into the air, and before the Japanese soldiers could react, a fierce explosion sounded on the position, one cannon after another was destroyed, and the flesh and blood of the soldiers were blown up.

At the same time, the artillery command of the reorganized 3rd Division again received a telegram from the artillery observer.

"Correct 3 degrees to the west, 5 rapid fires, fire!"

"Correct 5 degrees to the south, 3 rapid fires, fire!"

Seeing that the opposite Chinese army also had such a large-scale artillery, in his understanding, it was very good for the Chinese army to have a few mortars, and few units had formed artillery units, let alone large-caliber artillery such as mountain artillery and field artillery.

Putting aside the possibility of being able to purchase such large-caliber artillery, the weight of mountain and field guns alone and the consumption of ammunition were not something that the people of China could afford. Take the Empire's 75mm field gun, for example, with a barrel length of 2,286 mm/31 calibers, a maximum range of 8.3 km, and a combat weight of 947 kg.

As we all know, China's infrastructure is very backward, and there are few qualified roads, and even if there are cars, it is difficult to tow these heavy guys on the march. What's more, after the passage to the sea was cut off by the Japanese Empire, the source of supplies was only the port of Yangon in Burma, and the throughput was limited, so it was obviously unrealistic to equip cars on a large scale throughout the army.

All in all, Major General Suzuki did not believe in the bad Tsuchihachi Road and the artillery units of the wing size before the war, and even if there were, it was impossible to equip mountain artillery and field artillery, at most a dozen small-caliber mortars.

But now it doesn't seem to be like that, and the moment the cannon sounds, Rear Admiral Suzuki is stunned. Especially when he saw the sound of shelling, the people of China did not fire at the forward position, but the shells flew towards the back, and Major General Suzuki panicked.

Naturally, he knew what was behind him, but there was his artillery position, and it was clear that the Chinese were taking advantage of their weak underbelly of poor intelligence to preemptively try to destroy their artillery positions first.

"Baga, order the artillery to immediately transfer positions, the people of China have large-caliber artillery!" The angry Major General Suzuki yelled loudly.

"Hay!"

Fifteen minutes later, the artillery observer sent another telegram that the Japanese artillery had retreated, and this round of shelling destroyed a total of 16 Japanese artillery, and caused about half of the shells to be killed, and the soldiers suffered four or five hundred casualties.

The Japanese artillery had already retreated, and Liu Fengchi knew that there was no more trouble, but the real war had just begun.

"The artillery regiment was ordered to immediately fire at the Japanese positions, firing five rapid shots, and immediately after the battle, the positions were shifted. At the same time, the first battalion of the infantry regiment and one battalion were ordered to prepare for the attack, the second battalion moved to the left flank of the Japanese army, and the third battalion and one company launched a feint attack on the right flank of the Japanese army! ”

"Yes"

"Boom, boom!"

"Da Da Da!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The battle entered the white heat at the beginning, Liu Fengchi was not a person who liked to drag mud and water, and he knew what Ma Zheng had in mind when Ma Zheng asked him to divide his troops to seize Tongliao. Since the young commander wanted to eat this field division of the Japanese army in one bite, then he would not give the Japanese army any respite. So at the beginning of the battle he threw half a regiment into it, and here there was no temptation, only an attack.

Major General Suzuki was also stunned by the strong attack of Liu Fengchi's troops, although his soldiers had the advantage of the terrain and had artillery support, they were still overwhelmed by the Chinese army.

"Yaga, what kind of weapon is the person holding in his hand, is it a light machine gun?" Major General Suzuki asked Musashi Daisa, chief of staff of the 24th Infantry Brigade.

"I've never seen a weapon like that, it should be a new weapon of the Zhina people!"

"Baga, immediately transfer all the light machine gunners in the reserve to the front-line positions, quickly!" Major General Suzuki said angrily.

"Hay!"

Naturally, the fighters were not holding light machine guns, but district AK assault rifles. With the continuous improvement of the production capacity of the Baotou Arsenal, a large number of assault rifles have been produced, and now many technical arms of the Suicha Military Region and division-level guard units have been replaced with assault rifles, and the third division has a guard regiment equipped with assault rifles.

Originally, according to Ma Zheng's meaning, the role of the guard regiment was to protect the division headquarters of the reorganized third division and the safety of Liu Fengchi, Tie Xinlan and others, but in view of the fact that the Japanese army in front of him was a difficult bone to gnaw, Liu Fengchi directly sent his guards to the front line to coordinate operations, and now it seems that the effect is very good.
