In the large conference hall, generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals, dozens of people, all sat in rows.

Nothing else, how to fight this battle, work together.

It is said that this rank is strict, especially in the army, especially in the army, originally Matsui Shigen can decide everything, but in this battle, he really has no bottom in his heart.

Originally, not to mention the 200,000 army, it was a division and regiment, and it had to go sideways in China, but now, including Matsui Ishine, everyone feels that 200,000 people are too few.

In this kind of position, even if there is no green gauze tent, their superiority, whether it is weapons or individual quality, has been greatly diluted.

Obviously, there was nothing to doubt about it, and all the places they might attack must have been such positions.

This kind of position was twenty miles deep, and it was not afraid of surprise attacks at all, and when their attack began, the Chinese army drove from ten miles away. Therefore, in the position they were going to attack, the Chinese army only needed to send a few men to defend it, and it was enough to play a role in delaying it.

In this way, the lethal effect of artillery fire is naturally very limited.

After they attack the position, they must go down the trench, and if they don't go down the trench, they will be a live target, and in such a complex trench, as long as the will of the people of the branch is strong enough, then even the common people with kitchen knives may kill them.

And this is also the reason why these imperial generals feel that there are few people, because compared to them, there is an endless source of troops in China.

Also, the chariot wings that used to run rampant in China are useless.

Bazooka.

These three words made these formidable Imperial generals want to die every time, because bazookas, tanks and armored vehicles were all useless garbage.

If it weren't for these rocket launchers, tanks and armored vehicles would have been used, and the power of these positions would have dropped to ordinary levels, and they would have been able to continue to sweep through the land of China.

Green gauze tent, trench, bazooka, these three are combined, it is definitely making people want to die!

Research, research, these imperial elites are all at a loss, and there is no other way except to work hard.

In the end, everyone tacitly reached a consensus.

The green gauze tent has a time-limited surname, while the position of the Black God Army does not have a time-limited surname.

Most of the green gauze tents on the position can be cleared by artillery fire.

Baoding is located in the heart of Hebei, no matter what you want to do, you can't get around here, you must conquer.

This battle must be extremely difficult, and it is likely to take a long time, so there is no need to disobey the orders of the base camp, and it is necessary to attack with all your might.

If you have anything to say, take Baoding and talk about it.

――――In the early morning, in the thin morning light, ten thousand cannons fired in unison, and the quiet earth was instantly shrouded in endless gunsmoke.

The commander of the 11th Division, Yamamuro Sotake, looked at the gunpowder smoke in the distance, and his face was gloomy, as if he could drip a few drops of heavy water.

Every time in the past, every time this kind of cannon fire in unison, Yamamuro Sotake felt an indescribable pride, and felt the strength of the empire, incomparably powerful. But this time, it was different, this time it was not people or positions that were bombed by 10,000 cannons, but sorghum and corn.

It was supposed to be a joke, but it was a fact that happened right in front of our eyes.

The area covered by the artillery fire is the area of Xiaolizhuang in the southwest of Baoding, with a width of about ten miles.

Countless shells fell to the ground, tearing the originally endless green gauze tent to pieces, and then, the artillery fire gradually extended forward, and the infantry attack began.

The main purpose of the attack now is not to occupy positions, but to continue to clear the remaining green gauze tents.

Although the green gauze tent was blown to pieces, in the event of a large-scale attack, these remnants of the green gauze tent would still cause some damage to the attacking soldiers if they were not removed.

Therefore, many of the attacking devil soldiers had an extra weapon in their hands this time, a big scythe with a cold light, and their task was to raze everything and cut down all the green gauze tents that looked like they were in a pile.

For, if they were not all cut down, there was no doubt that as soon as they retreated, the people of China would have to dig the trenches and dig them to the green gauze tent that had not fallen.

The battle began, and so did the cups, and every devil scolded the Black God Army. Of course, there is a premise for this, referring to those devils who are still alive.

Except for those devils who are responsible for cutting the land, the devils who are responsible for the attack have to go down to the trenches, because if you don't go down, there are too many trenches, and if you don't go down, then you are a live target.

What's more, even if you are a devil who is very good at long jumping, you can't jump over many places. It's not so much how wide the trench is, it's that it's not easy to jump off and it's hard to land. Therefore, if you don't go down the trench and still want to go there, you have to go far away and find a good place to jump.

Obviously, here, no devil has this time.

The devils who went down to the trench were all terrified, because the Black God Army was too damn lacking in morality, the trench was crooked, and a trench would divide into many lines, and when it came to a place with many forks, the eyes were not enough at all, and often when there were not even a few forks in the road, the little life was gone.

However, in general, the effect was not bad, although there were many casualties, but on the first day, it advanced more than 1,700 meters, which greatly surprised Yamamuro Sotake.

Looking at the results of this day, the empty land in front of him, Yamamuro Sowu felt much brighter in his heart.

-- As the night wore on, the earth was quiet again.

The land is quiet, but Yamamuro Sotake is not.

During the day, the 22nd Wing of the 10th Brigade was in charge of the attack; Now, in the position is the 12th Wing of the 10th Brigade.

All the soldiers sat on their backs, not daring to relax in the slightest.

It was destined to be a difficult night.

In the concealed artillery position, the wing commander of the 11th Wing of the Mountain Artillery, Akiosa Yamauchi, stood on the command platform, motionless and observing the dark wilderness opposite.

As long as the people on the opposite side dare to open fire, then he has the absolute certainty of destroying the artillery positions of the people of China in an instant--"I tell you, give me some points later, it's nothing if you have a dead ball, but if you blow up Lao Tzu's cannon to the little devils, Lao Tzu will not spare you!" "A big black man was walking around the camp and arguing.

The big black man is Liu Xiaoqiang, the squadron leader of the third squadron of the first mortar brigade, a famous sharpshooter, who is only twenty-three years old this year, but he does not look immature at all.

Liu Xiaoqiang is a native of Fushun, Liaoning, and joined the Northeast Army at the age of 16 and is a veritable veteran. He wasn't originally an artilleryman, but the Black God Army pays attention to making the best use of people and giving anyone a chance. Three years ago, Liu Xiaoqiang suddenly became interested in artillery and offered to join the artillery.

As soon as he took the exam, this kid was really talented in this area, so he became an artilleryman, and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the squadron leader of the mortar brigade a year ago.

Liu Xiaoqiang is not only good at artillery fighting, but also very good at leading troops, otherwise he will not be able to become a squadron leader, his current scolding is not a real scolding, but to relax the spirit of his subordinates.

Sure enough, everyone giggled and laughed, and they were not so nervous.

At a quarter past ten, Liu Xiaoqiang's face sank, and he ordered: "Prepare." ”

At half past ten, fire!

Not much, each cannon only fired three shells at most, and some even fired only one shell, and then hurriedly scattered the cannon and dragged the cannon into the bunker.

This was taken into account when the bunker was built at the beginning, and it took a bit of effort to pull the cannon out of the bunker, but it would be much easier to pull it in.

――――On the command platform, Yamauchi Akira was a little dazed, and after thinking about it, he didn't expect this scene in front of him.

The people of China are so cunning, they are all out of the circle.

The artillery positions of the people of China were not at all the artillery positions he thought they were, and the distance between the front and back of each gun was at least 100 meters away, and this was only light artillery such as mortars.

Those 75-millimeter caliber mountain artillery field artillery were even more than 300 meters apart.

This is not the most immoral thing, the most immoral thing is that these cannons are not put together, but maybe a cannon will be fired from there.

Akira Yamauchi is an expert, so he naturally wants to know why the artillery fire of the people of China is not fired continuously, and it must be that they hide in the bunker immediately after the fight.

Otherwise, it won't be.

Sure enough, the facts quickly verified that Yamauchi's judgment was completely correct, and those positions that had been bombed were still being fired.

Akira Yamauchi's face had long since turned blue, and the sharp whistling sound from the cannonballs was like the laughter of the people who laughed at them unscrupulously.

Not much, in less than two hours, the Empire's best military model, Akira Yamauchi, who has always been calm, showed signs of going crazy.

The shelling of the people of China was useless in suppressing the fart.

-- At this moment, it was not only the military model Akira Yamauchi who was going crazy, but also the wing commander of the 12th Wing, Nagatsu Zobisa.

The cannonballs of the people seem to have eyes, and they fly there wherever there are many people.

Although Yongjin Zuo is not an artilleryman, he still understands common sense, obviously, the people of China have already set up to shoot Zhuyuan, and the error of the landing point of the shell must be very small.

Moreover, it is even more obvious that their cannons do not have the slightest suppressive effect on the artillery fire of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people are completely playing tricks on them, and they are wantonly mocking the military prestige of the Great Empire.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

However, if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, launching an attack at this time is definitely looking for death.

One hour, two hours, three hours...... Yongjin Zuo was aware of the danger, and the people of China could attack at any time.

However, fortunately, they have been destroying the trenches, cutting off many of them, and it is not so easy for the people of China to sneak in.

And, more importantly, this is no longer the familiar trench of the Chinese army.

This is very important.

In such a complex position, familiarity is too important, and this is one of the reasons why this position is so terrifying.

Finally, when the first rays of morning light spit out under the horizon in the east, Yongjin Zuo Li breathed a sigh of relief. The Black God Army didn't attack at night, and when it was dawn, it was even more impossible.

However, when the casualty figures came out, Yongjin's mood of being a little more relaxed was replaced by an unspeakable heaviness.

Three hundred and twenty-one people were killed, and six hundred and thirty-seven were slightly or seriously injured.

For just one night, the people of Chi Na were playing, and one of his brigades was reimbursed.

The reason why the casualties were so heavy was that the shells of the people of China were too accurately landed. There is no doubt that the people of China not only accurately set the shooting elements in advance, but also have a rough idea of their armament. So, in the end, the cause has to fall on this damn trench. Because this damn trench, at night, is the world of the people of China, and you can observe them up close.

-- Yongjin Zuo's mood was heavy, and the division commander Yamamuro Sotake's mood was not the heaviest, he was only heavier.

The casualties of the attack during the day were also around a thousand, and at night the defense lost another brigade, and this was the loss of the people in China when they did not really fight them.

If, if we can continue to push forward like the previous day, then the losses can still be bearable, but is this possible?

-- In the morning light, the shelling began again, and as more artillery arrived, the fire became more and more intense.

Half an hour later, artillery fire began to extend into the distance, and the ground assault began.

Just like yesterday, it was very smooth to break into the defensive position of the Chinese people, but, unlike yesterday, as soon as the little devils entered, they soon found that they were completely defeated.

The trenches here are not the same as the ones occupied yesterday, very different. In terms of the degree of lack of morality, there is no comparison between yesterday's and here's.

In the trenches, in many places it was more than three meters deep.

In these places, in addition to the same twists and turns, there are many forks and turns, but also wide and narrow, and some places only allow one person to squeeze sideways.

Not only that, but some of the ground is not a trench, but a tunnel, and you have to climb to get there.

Digging these trenches, the Black God Army fully demonstrated the invincible spirit of not having the most lack of virtue, only the lack of virtue: those tunnels are not straight, and they don't know where to go.

As you can imagine, no devil dares to climb over, so you have to find another way, and even more so, you will never find a road without a tunnel.

These are not the things that frighten these devils the most, but the most fearful thing is the rat holes that can be found everywhere in the trenches: no one knows whether these rat holes hide people or not.

Going down into such a trench, you can imagine how terrifying it would be.

By the time the commander found out that something was wrong, a brigade of devils was already lying in the trench.

The attack stopped.

Yamamuro Sotake was completely crazy, and when he ordered the attack to be stopped, he saw that in the position of the Shina people, the dirt was flying, and a spade of soil was thrown to the ground.

The Chinese are repairing the trenches that have been blown up.

-- When Matsui Ishine heard the news, he pondered for a long time and gave an order to transfer the 15th Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery, the 10th Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery, and 100 mountain artillery and field artillery units of 75 mm caliber or higher from other divisions and regiments, as well as the 5th and 6th antiaircraft artillery units, to the front line.

The 15th Wing of the Reading Field Heavy Artillery had 36 howitzers of 150 mm caliber, and the 10th Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery had 24 howitzers of 150 mm caliber, adding up to 50 howitzers.

The 11th Division itself had 16 mountain artillery pieces of 75 mm caliber or more, 36 field artillery pieces, and 100 guns drawn from other divisions and regiments, adding up to 152 guns.

Such artillery fire was astonishing, but such an astonishing artillery fire now had to be used to bombard the positions dug by the peasants of China with simple tools.

Matsui Ishone's heart was bleeding, and he had no doubt that the damage of the bombardment to the Shina army was extremely limited, because with the deceit of the Black God Army, he would not be surprised how few defenders were in the position.

But, whatever the thoughts, the only thing he could do now was to bombard the positions of the Chinas with endless artillery fire.

This is tantamount to blowing up the earth with shells, and in doing so, no matter how many shells there are, it will not be enough.

Matsui Ishine is less and less optimistic about this war, the human resources of Shina are unlimited, as long as they are organized, there is almost no end to digging positions in this form.

Now, there is no other way but to take Baoding down first.

-- Tonight, guard, or withdraw? That's a real problem.

Sotake Yamamuro had the feeling that he was going crazy again.

If it continues to hold on, there will be more people defending the position, and there will be many casualties; There are fewer people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the sneak attack of the Zhina.

If they give up, the Shina will soon be able to restore their positions as before.

After pondering for a long time, Yamamuro Zongwu was determined to continue to hold on, because of the death and injury of a thousand or eight people, he was distressed, but he had no responsibility, but if he gave up the position, then once there was any accident, his responsibility would be great.

Like Matsui Shigen, Yamamuro Sowu didn't have any idea what the Black God Army would do next for the cloud mountain fog shroud.

"Boom! ……”

Yamamuro Sotake was pondering when the cannon went off.

"Yaga!" It was only less than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the Black God Army began to play, and the madness that Yamamuro Sowu had just gone down to surging again.

The night covered the land again, and at this moment, Yamamuro Sotake basically had no temper, and he became very quiet.

Facts have proved that the artillery bunkers built by the Black God Army are very strong, and at least 150 mm howitzers can't help the Black God Army's artillery bunkers.

This night, the Black God Army still did not launch an attack and recaptured its position.

-- In the early morning, everything was ready, and heavy shells fell, and the earthquake trembled.

The frontal battlefield is more than 10 miles wide, and it is obviously unrealistic to fully cover the artillery fire, so the method of attack is to cut, and the artillery fire covers several deep zones of more than 300 or 400 meters wide and several slightly narrower cross-cutting zones, cutting the entire position into square areas, and then encirclement and suppression.

On the battlefield, people no longer have the meaning of life, but are just tools to accomplish their goals.

As the artillery fire extended, the army poured up like a tide.

Meat grinder, start.

The earth ploughed by artillery fire, the trench position became a potholed and uneven hustle of earth, and although it was difficult to walk on it, it was undoubtedly a paradise compared to the hellish position of the Zhizhi people.

Although the position is cut into cubes, in reality, each block is still big enough and dangerous enough, and each block is a meat grinder.

Strangle yourself, but also strangle your enemies.

Kill!

The army went crazy from top to bottom, and they rushed into the green gauze tent and into the hellish trench from all sides.
