Chapter 212 Drill into the ground and bounce your might!

The United Air Force, which had high hopes, was finally annihilated by the Eighth Route Air Force, which was good at hiding its strength. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Such a defeat undoubtedly suffered a huge psychological blow to the Japanese army in North China, which was in dire straits at the moment.

Even the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, which learned the news, also felt that this was simply impossible. But the facts clearly told them that none of the fighters sent earlier could not return to the aircraft carrier until the evening.

Looking at the empty aircraft carrier deck, there is also the battlefield intelligence that has been collected one after another. Even these self-confident admirals must admit that they failed this time. They consider themselves powerful fighters to be vulnerable in the hands of the Eighth Road.

But more than that, it was the commander of the Navy's aircraft carrier fleet who questioned Okamura Ninji at the first time, as well as the person in charge of the special high school in charge of intelligence reconnaissance. Why did the number of fighters on the Eighth Route increase so much during the engagement?

In the face of such accusations, the senior Japanese military officer who was ultimately in charge of intelligence had to become a scapegoat. Even if Okamura Ninji knows that this is a way for the Navy to shirk responsibility, he must carry this black cauldron.

The reason is very simple, the War Department invited the Admiralty to send an aircraft carrier fleet to support North China, which itself owes the Admiralty a favor. At present, the fighter planes of the aircraft carrier fleet are being destroyed, and their army will naturally have to shoulder the corresponding responsibility.

Looking at the front-line battle that was originally a stalemate, and the rout with the defeat of the air force, Okamura Ninji also really realized. This Beiping City, I'm afraid he won't be able to defend it. Even if there is currently a navy supervising Tianyi, he may not be able to keep it.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Eighth Route Army has not yet reached Beiping. It also means that he has more options. But at this moment, can he really order the troops to withdraw from North China and save the remaining army units?

While Okamura was struggling with whether to withdraw, the foreign consuls who had declared their neutrality and were staying in Beiping gathered together again. There was only one topic for discussion, and that was to strengthen communication and liaison with Yan'an.

The United States, which has reached a series of cooperation with Yan'an earlier, has undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary of this war. In the eyes of many, this time the United States has bet on the right treasure again, forming an alliance with a political party and military that may replace the Nationalist government.

The thoughts of these bigwigs in Beiping City, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route who were preparing for battle on the front line, naturally did not have time to pay too much attention. One of the things they want to do most at the moment is to enter Beiping as soon as possible and liberate Beiping and Tianxi.

The truth of the pursuit of victory is clear to everyone from the generals to the soldiers. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the air force's victory, the two main combat corps of the Eighth Route Army, which were responsible for the attack, also intensified their efforts to clear and encircle the Japanese army in North China.

On the other hand, the 35 th Army in Langfang at this moment, after the front-line troops had rested for nearly a day, once again launched a combat readiness mobilization on the scale of a general offensive. A large number of artillery pieces and troops were successively deployed in the front-line positions of the game against the Japanese army.

The Second Reconnaissance Regiment of the Special Division, which rushed to support, sent a battalion of reconnaissance and infiltration troops behind enemy lines. The remaining three main battalions were also broken up by the commander of the 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment and sent to the three infantry divisions responsible for the attack.

When discussing with Fu Zuoyi and the three division commanders, the second regiment commander also said confidently: "According to the information detected so far, the Japanese position that the first division is responsible for attacking is undoubtedly the top priority of the Japanese defense.

If we can capture this position of the Japanese army, our subsequent attack will be much easier. This time, the 1st Battalion of our reconnaissance regiment will fully cooperate with the 1st Division's attack. The remaining two main battalions will also cooperate with the attack of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions.

With regard to the command of the attacking forces, I hope that the leaders will give them free rein in their command. The combat mode of our special division is somewhat different from yours. But in terms of the coordination of the offensive, I hope that your troops will follow up in time.

In a word, my troops are lent to you to use as sharp knives, and you also send elite troops to cooperate. Strive to win all the three positions with the greatest resistance tonight, and tomorrow we will make great strides to attack all parts of Langfang.

The sharp arrow detachment that came with our unit will not shoot tonight for the time being. The reason is that the Sharp Arrow detachment is not suitable to participate in such an offensive battle. But in the next few days, I believe they will make a real big difference.

Earlier, the commander had already given the 35th Army a large number of ground-penetrating bombs. This kind of bomb has a great penetrating ability, and can penetrate the strong trenches and tunnels that the Japanese army has built on the position.

Therefore, as long as the artillery unit hits accurately, it will destroy the strong fortifications of the little devils. I believe the rest of the battle will be much easier. With the cooperation of one of my main battalions, I believe that the machine guns and bunkers of the little devils will not work! ā€

Such a confident tone made Fu Zuoyi and the three division commanders somewhat unconvinced. can think of the achievements of this unit since its formation, and the four of them feel that maybe this is the confidence of the elite.

Think about the equipment of this main regiment, which can be said to be armed to the teeth. At present, only the assault units equipped with saber special forces and guard units, each squad of the special division, there are at least three assault riflemen.

Not to mention, one bazooka per squad and a mortar. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of a squad in a special division is not inferior to that of a company in an ordinary unit.

"Okay, since Regiment Commander Xu has said so, then our 35th Army will fully cooperate. Boss's previous telegram, I think you all know. We don't have much time left, so we don't have much to hesitate.

Next, all divisions will work together to win the current three hard bones first. The rest of the battle will be much easier for us. After fighting in the past few days, I believe that the little devil is not comfortable, it depends on who can hold on to the end.

For a long time, I think Commander He has a saying that is very right, it is a shoulder with a head, and our soldiers are no worse than little devils. Now the weapons and equipment are also not inferior to the little devils, why can't they beat the little devils?

The brave wins, this time, even if the casualties are large, we must be ruthless with the little devils. I won't say much about the rest, you are all divisional commanders, and I believe you don't want to lose face in front of the boss, right? ’

The seemingly calm words undoubtedly aroused the will of the three division commanders to fight. A general who can be the commander of the main division is naturally not bad at fighting. At this time, none of them want to lose to others.

With Fu Zuoyi's order, the attacking troops, which had all been deployed in place that afternoon, immediately launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese position. For a time, the defensive positions of the Japanese army once again became a bloody place filled with gunsmoke.

If you talk about such a scene, the little devil also experienced it two days ago. Then this time the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army frightened the Japanese troops on the position. The reason is that many Japanese troops found artillery shells on the Eighth Route and would not explode as soon as they hit the position.

These shells look no different from the previous ones. If there's a difference, it's that when these bombs fall from the sky, they go straight into the ground. After a few seconds, it was detonated directly underground.

Some of the positions built by the Japanese army in the early days also used materials such as cement. But in the face of the blows of these special shells, many Japanese soldiers were horrified to find that their anti-artillery tunnels were constantly collapsing.

'Yaga! What kind of bomb is this? How can it be so powerful? ’

If the shelling of the Eighth Route Army earlier made the little devil feel that the other party should not be underestimated, but he can still feel at ease. So at this moment, in the face of the constantly crumbling fortifications and anti-artillery tunnels, the little devil is really scattered.

Especially in the previous explosion, the little devils who were waiting in the anti-artillery pit saw shells drilling directly into the pit from the top of the fortifications. Just as they were stunned, the shell that had penetrated into the tunnel was instantly detonated.

Even if a little devil thinks that something is wrong, he just runs away, but he still can't outrun this delayed detonating cannonball. In the face of this kind of special ammunition that can penetrate the ground, the morale of the Japanese troops on the position was undoubtedly severely damaged again.

Even the anti-artillery tunnels are not safe, so where can they hide in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army?

For the time being, this kind of artillery shell is still in the field that has not yet been studied. But for He Zhengdao, he knows that this kind of ground-penetrating bomb can also cause very unexpected consequences in special places.

It can be said that most of these things such as rocket artillery and ground-penetrating bombs are to strengthen the offensive intensity of the troops. And the study of the ground-penetrating bomb actually did not take much effort. The artillery shell research unit still has the technology in this area.

It's just that the power of this cannonball is actually slightly smaller than that of ordinary cannonballs. The only difference is that these shells can be detonated with a delay and can also penetrate some solid underground bunkers or fortifications.

When the ground-penetrating bombs of the Eighth Route Army achieved great lethal effects and deterrence, the assault troops of each division fought with the main battalion of the special division. also followed behind this well-equipped unit and began to touch the blocking position of the little devils.

Those little devils hiding in the dark bunker of the position, looking at the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army who touched them, undoubtedly fired back in an instant. It didn't take long for these little devils to find out to their horror that their bunker didn't do much at all.

Look at the machine gun bunkers with huge lethality, which were destroyed in the hands of these special division assault troops. The assault troops of the divisions that followed behind also looked very shocked and admired.

When they received the order earlier, they felt somewhat unconvinced. The reason is that they themselves are the elite troops in the division, so why should such a main attack task be given to these incoming reinforcements?

But at this moment, they really realized that with these officers and soldiers of the special division who were enough to match the 'battlefield scavengers', it was really much easier for them to fight.

Especially seeing the battlefield cooperation of these fighters, grenades are thrown as accurately as small cannonballs. Even if they are not convinced, they know that they really have a long way to go compared to these elite fighters!
