According to the plan, the 41st Group Army will launch a spring offensive on the day of the spring equinox to counterattack the Japanese army.

The main battlefield is in East China, and Lu Qiang will put in five main divisions, namely the 250 Mixed Division, the 253 Airborne Division, the 254 Mixed Division, the 255 Mixed Division, and the 25 Armored Division. The 252nd Mountain Division was in the northeast and launched an attack on Jinzhou, and at the same time, the 256th Mixed Division was also transferred to the northeast to cooperate with the 252nd Mountain Division. The 251st Division was stationed in place, and the other two reserve divisions were on standby.

There is also the Air Force, the J-5 is now only used to intercept Japanese aircraft, and the ground work is handed over to the stallions and B-45s. A large number of planes are also waiting for this order.

The above is the lineup of Lu Qiang's 41st Group Army. Compared with other group armies, for the 41st Group Army, which has only about 150,000 men in seven divisions, such a lineup is very strong. Air-ground integration, all-round strike.

The Japanese army did not have many spies in China, and the news of the 41st Army's build-up soon reached them. The five main divisions, plus some independent artillery regiments or something, this huge combat power made the Japanese army frightened.

"What does Lu Qiang of China want to do when he gathers so many troops? Do you want to attack us? "Matsui Ishine invited a large group of high-level officials for a meeting.

"Judging from their movements, this is not a small possibility, otherwise why would they gather so many troops?" Blackstone Staff Officer said.

"And in which direction are they going to fight?" The head of the Gu Su Division asked.

"From the current point of view, the possibility of fighting east is the greatest." Blackstone Staff Officer said.

"To the east, isn't that ......" the commander of the Matsuyama Division was shocked.

"That's right, it's coming to Nanjing." Blackstone Staff nodded and said.

"How many troops do we have?" Matsui Ishone suddenly interjected and asked.

"At present, all our troops are combined, and there are still 6 divisions and regiments, plus the puppet army in China, we can make up 8 divisions. If we immediately ask for more troops in the country now, it is estimated that the maximum strength of 13 divisions can be reached. Blackstone staff analyzed.

"It's only 13 divisions, I don't know if I can lose weight." Matsui Ishone worried.

"Commander-in-chief, in fact, we don't have to worry, as the defensive side, we just need to set up positions and wait for them to come. And in these cities, there are people in China, and I don't believe they will use that kind of weapon. The commander of the Matsuyama Division said, and the kind of weapon he was talking about was a cloud burst bomb.

"But will we be able to hold off their shells? Can you stop their planes? Can they stop their chariots? Matsui asked rhetorically.

"This ...... We can drag them into the city......" said the commander of the Gu Su Division.

"However, it can be seen from the battle of Lu'an that the other party has a complete set of street fighting tactics." Matsui Shigen interrupted Gu Su's words.

"Maybe we will take advantage of the sigh to attack us, and let Henan's army go south, in the words of Zhina, 'go straight to Huanglong'." The commander of the Banner Division, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

"In this way, the people of China will inevitably return to the rescue, so that they can solve the predicament of Nanjing." Blackstone Staff Officer is like a dreamer who has been awakened by a word.

"That's right, if the offensive intensity is enough, you can even take Dawang Village." Zuo Qi said.

"How can you be sure that they didn't have any defenders left in Dawang Village?" Matsui Ishone asked.

"In this way, according to the data, the 41st Group Army of China currently has a total of 8 main divisions, of which the 251st Division is stationed in Guangdong and cannot be separated, the 252nd Division and the 256th Division are in the northeast, and the remaining 5 divisions are all attacking. Blackstone Staff Officer said with some excitement. If you really take Dawang Village, it will be a great credit.

"Didn't you say that there are still reserve divisions in China?" Matsui Ishone frowned.

"At present, the information I have received is that there is still a reserve division in China, but it is still training in the Dabie Mountains, if the attacking army is faster and unexpected, it can take advantage of the other party's reaction to take Dawang Village." Blackstone Staff Officer said with an oath.

Matsui Ishine fell into deep thought, the plan mentioned by Staff Officer Kuroishi was indeed feasible and successful, not only to solve the predicament of Nanjing, but even to annihilate the 41st Group Army, which posed the greatest threat to the imperial plan in one fell swoop.

Walking back and forth, Matsui Ishine's mind kept thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and finally he decided to do what Blackstone Staff said.

At the airfield in Dawang Village, the B-45, which took off first, flew towards the Japanese army under the escort of the fifth master.

Based on the cold gun and cold artillery movement, the Japanese army retreated into the city and did not dare to come out, so the target of the bombing was the Japanese army in the city.

But in this way, it is easy to cause accidental injury, and the bomb will fall in residential areas, but now it can't be so much, in war, accidental injury is common, at most, they fly lower, and the bomb is more accurate.

"China Aircraft !!" Before the B-45 and Jian-5 arrived, a piercing scream came, and the defenders of Heqi immediately drilled into the air-raid shelter.

The B-45 landed over Heqi, began to drop bombs along the city wall, opened the belly magazine, and the round aerial bombs flew to the ground with a roar.

In order to destroy the Japanese fortifications, the bombs were timed fuses, which were fiercely pierced into the fortifications, and as the small fan stopped rotating, the bombs released a huge amount of energy.

Along the city wall, the sound of explosions was endless, one after another, the earth city wall was vulnerable under the violent explosion, and the city wall and the Japanese army inside were all blown away.

The violent explosion terrified the people of the city, who did not know what was going on, but who knew that there was going to be a war, and who listened to the sound of the explosion that shook the earth, for fear that a shell would fall on their heads, and they all huddled at home.

Although the air force tried their best to throw shells against the wall, occasionally a few fell on residential areas, stirring up dust several feet high, turning all the surrounding rooms into ruins, and shaking houses a little farther away.

In this regard, they can only say sorry, accidental injury or something, it is inevitable, and it is not their intention.

After a wave of B-45s dropped bombs, they raised the nose and returned to Dawang Village, leaving behind the Japanese positions in ruins.

"Wow!"

Under the ruins of the city wall, there was a sudden movement of a clod of earth, and then one hand stretched out, and then the other hand also peeled off the layer of soil, and finally the whole person came out from under the ruins.

Kishibe Maaki looked around blankly, when the plane came just now, he drilled into the air-raid shelter dug under the city wall, and then the explosion and violent shaking made his whole mind blank, and the dust on the top of the air-raid shelter fell down, and there was a danger of collapse at any time.

Eventually, the bomb shelter collapsed, but he was lucky to survive against a solid corner. However, as it became more and more difficult to breathe, the oxygen was quickly depleted in the small space, and in order to survive, he dug up with the bayonet in his hand.

He couldn't hear anything anymore, and his eardrums had been shattered by the loud explosion, though his internal organs were lucky not to be shattered.

Maaki Kishibe, who couldn't hear a single sound, looked at the ruins everywhere, and his brain was a little dull from being blown up.

He remembered that this place used to be a wall, why was it gone? After thinking about it for a few times, I realized, oh, this place was blown up, the same explosion that almost buried him alive.

Kishibe Maaki couldn't hear a single sound from the outside world, his ears were full of buzzing and tinnitus, and he felt that there seemed to be a feeling of water flowing under the hole, and when he reached out and touched it, it was indeed wet. Putting his finger in front of his eyes, he saw that the blood was mixed with the dust, solidifying on his hand.

Seeing this, he panicked, although he had heard before that a violent explosion could cause the eardrum to rupture and cause deafness, he had a comrade-in-arms who was like this, but he never thought that this would happen to him.

I couldn't hear any sound at all, and my head was full of buzzing sounds.

Suddenly, he felt some shaking on the ground, and he didn't know where the vibration came from, but he still subconsciously turned around and looked behind him, that is, outside the city.

A huge steel body, painted with winter camouflage, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him, or rather, at the point of the merchant.

"Tank, China tank." Kishibe shouted loudly, but he heard his own voice like a mosquito humming.

But he couldn't care so much, he turned around and ran, not because he was afraid of death, but because he felt that he should send the news back.

As if because of his running, he attracted the attention of the tank, and a 62 tank made an emergency stop, the 85mm barrel was pointed at him, the muzzle flashed with an orange flame, and the shell spun and flew to the shore Maaki.

"Boom!" The explosion exploded around him, and the impact immediately threw him into the air, slamming into a low, broken wall, knocking it down.

This time, he was not so lucky, and the sharp shrapnel disemboweled him like a scalpel, and his internal organs flowed to the ground, and he died instantly.

The first to arrive at Hehuai was the Type 62 light tank, and behind it was a group of armored troops, the 257th Panzer Division, carrying infantry fighting vehicles to kill Heqi.

The collapsed city wall couldn't stop 62 Qingtan at all, of course, the two tracks, especially the city wall of Hexi, was completely earth, without a trace of masonry, so 62 easily climbed over, and then occupied the city wall.

A group of Japanese soldiers rushed to the city wall when the planes flew, but because they were afraid that the B-45 in the sky would drop bombs at them, they slowed down their pace, and when they reached the city wall, they found that the west side had been occupied by a group of tanks, and the black hole was pointed at them.

"Bang Bang Bang ~" 62 tank, after discovering the Japanese army, opened fire with a brush, a large number of 85mm shells flew towards the Japanese army, and the Japanese army who was caught off guard was harvested by the explosion, and the other Japanese troops hurriedly found cover to hide.

"Da Da Da Da~" The coaxial machine gun also fired bullets at the Japanese troops, but these Japanese soldiers were hiding behind bunkers, and it was difficult to damage them.

However, some of the bunkers were not tight enough, and they were easily penetrated by bullets, and the Japanese soldiers hiding behind were unlucky and were sent back to Japan. (To be continued.) )
