Chapter 1932: The Touchstone I

"Dididi-"
A loud trumpet sounded, and the first wave of attack echelons, consisting of one tank division and two infantry divisions, rushed out of the cage like a tiger and rushed towards the fortifications on the western periphery of Siping Street. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The shelling continued, the devils and puppet soldiers who heard the trumpet of the charge and prepared to meet them had just rushed out of the anti-artillery bunkers, and were torn to pieces by the shells that fell overhead, and the enemy's position was constantly surging up one fireball after another, and the fires were still burning, and a row of dense shells fell to the ground.
At this time, the electronic countermeasure helicopter used for reconnaissance, under the cover of fighters, attack planes, and bombers, circled in the air and reported all the information of the Japanese army to our artillery at a low altitude.
The officers and men of Anjia like a tide, stepping on the nodes of artillery, under the guidance of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, rushed to the line of Baijiagou, Shuangyushu, Zhaojiatun, Xiangjialu and Zhongjiajiao south of the Lin Jiahe.
The Japanese army deployed heavy troops on this defensive line, and various cannons, field guns and anti-aircraft guns were set up in various open bunkers, although they suffered heavy losses in the previous shelling, but most of them were still preserved. When the tanks and armored vehicles of the Anjia Army covered the infantry to attack, those artillery forts that were hidden very deep suddenly removed their camouflage and opened the shooting holes, and the 150 mm field cannons of the 150 mm and 92 types of 105 mm field cannons and the Taisho 4-year 150 mm field howitzers, the 90-type 75 mm and the 96-type 150 mm field guns, in addition to the Taisho 14 14 105 mm, the 88-type 75 mm, the 99-type 88 mm, and the Taisho 14 year 105 mm, the 88 mm of the 99 type, Type 3 120 mm and Type 4 75 mm anti-aircraft guns protrude from the firing hole.
"Whoosh-"
A dense rain of bullets swept by, and the Japanese positions were like volcanic eruptions, with a red glow in the morning light. Not to be outdone, the Japanese army shot scorching tongues of fire from the deep-hidden bunkers and bunkers, and the machine-gun bullets were like whips, sweeping towards the officers and soldiers of Anjia who were charging behind the Leopard II and Tiger I tanks.
The officers and soldiers of the Anjia family had already consciously hid behind the tank, and then the huge body of the tank followed. The huge gun barrel of the Leopard II and Tiger I tanks protruding from the front. Roaring angrily, in a roar, the high-speed flying shells accurately broke through the thick reinforced concrete layer of the bunker, and directly drilled into the machine gun positions of the Japanese puppet army.
"Suppress the tanks of the Chinese people, open fire!"
Major General Li Yan Mitsufu, commander of the Japanese artillery unit with the headquarters on the Wujiatun Heights in the north of Siping City, saw through the telescope that the tank group of the Anjia Army was approaching 500 meters in front of the defensive line. Immediately give the order to open fire.
Almost instantly, cannons, field guns, and anti-aircraft guns with very low ballistics spat out balls of fire from their shooting holes, and shells that exceeded the speed of sound let out a piercing whistling sound and flew towards the group of tanks that were killing fiercely.
A Leopard II tank turned its turret while driving, destroying two exposed Japanese bunkers one after another, and raised its gun. When aiming at a bunker hidden in the third dirt bag of more than 20 meters, a Japanese 150-mm field cannon suddenly opened fire.
"Boom-"
I don't know if it was the luck of the Japanese artillery or the bad luck of this tank, this shell directly hit the front armor of the tank, and almost instantly penetrated the thick armor, and the officers and men in the tank did not have time to react, and together with the tank, it turned into a large fireball that crackled and exploded.
As the Japanese artillery rained down on bullets, the advancing tanks continued to be hit. Burst into flames.
I already knew in advance how difficult it would be. Every tank soldier wrote a bloody letter to explain what happened, so the tank crew of the Anjia Army, who had been mentally prepared, did not flinch, continued to drive the tank, pushed the destroyed tank in front, and threw himself towards the enemy's position. If the wolves galloping tanks keep counterattacking, shells drill into those anti-tank artillery forts, destroying those evil cannons, field guns and anti-aircraft guns, explosions and fires on both sides. The battle scenes are extraordinarily spectacular.
For example, the 105-millimeter cannon of the 14th year of Taisho has a firing range of up to 15 kilometers, so it is set up on the top of the slope of the high ground with a certain slope such as Jijiatun, Jiujianfang, Chengjia shack, and Shanggangzi behind the battle line.
In this case. The electronic countermeasures helicopter of the An Jiajun directly guided the 203-mm heavy guns of the artillery to carry out fixed-point strikes on the batteries exposed by these devils, and the batteries arranged by the devils in the rear rose into the air one after another.
Throughout the battlefield. Everywhere there are remnants of tracer bullets, and the artillery that the devil has put into the defense this time. Almost all of them can inflict a fatal blow to the Leopard II tank of the An Jiajun, even the Tiger I tank can't withstand the close range of the 150 mm caliber cannon, and a Tiger I tank that rushed in front was torn off the front armor and turned into a dazzling fireball in the earth-shattering explosion.
The most powerful anti-aircraft guns are the most amazing, because they were designed from the beginning to take into account the timeliness of the air attack, so the rate of fire is very fast, the highest one minute can fire 30 shells, under such a dense rain of bullets, more than 10 tanks exploded and burned to stop moving.
The whole battlefield was completely a rain of fire, and the No. 1 assault gun and the Type I tank destroyer, mixed in the middle of the tank queue, did not care about their own safety, and constantly attacked the Japanese army's firepower points, and the Japanese army's firepower points were constantly dumbed under the blows of 75mm cannons.
The biggest role of these assault guns and tank destroyers was actually to suppress the anti-aircraft gun positions of the Japanese army. The Japanese army's Type 98 20-mm anti-aircraft cannon adopts the Swiss Erlikon 20-mm anti-aircraft gun technology, which is extremely superior in performance, and there is also the 37-mm anti-aircraft gun newly developed by Japan last year, which has high precision, great power, and long firing range.
In the dense afterimage of tracer bullets, fireballs rose from time to time in the offensive queue of the An Jia army, and the armored combat vehicles were torn off the front armor. Together with the driver inside, they were beaten to pieces, and after the armored combat vehicles broke down, the ammunition was heated and exploded due to the fire of the engine, and the entire battlefield sounded a huge explosion from time to time, and the steaming fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the earth transparently.
Assault guns and tank destroyers were specially aimed at these anti-aircraft machine gun positions of the Japanese army, and bombers and attack planes in the sky also swooped down to drop bombs when they found one place, and the Japanese air defense positions did not care about concealment, and desperately opened fire and fired back, and the entire sky over Siping Street. From time to time, warplanes were hit, exploding brilliant fireballs in the air, or dragging long green smoke into the western sky.
At this time, the helicopter did not dare to hang in a certain place in the air for a long time, and could only hover constantly, dodging anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun attacks from the ground, tracer bullets flew back and forth in the sky, and the rockets fired by the helicopter were like flying fire meteors. It's good-looking.
Because the Japanese troops had not had time to withdraw cannons, mountain guns, and field guns, as well as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, all of which had not been evacuated to Siping Street, the entire front of the attack was subjected to extraordinary pressure. However, cloud burst bombs cannot be used at this time, because there are still about 100,000 Chinese living in Siping Street, as well as dozens of intelligence personnel of the Anjia Army, and our ground attack troops can only compete with the Japanese army in this hellish place.
The tide of tanks and armored vehicles was still surging eastward, and the dense artillery shells of the Japanese army also carried a heart-palpitating whistling sound. From time to time hit tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers. The sound of the battlefield and explosions came one after another, and the tanks that were shot burst into flames one after another, paralyzed on the road of the charge.
Gu Changfeng took the binoculars and stood in the Xiuyan bunker at an altitude of forty or fifty meters more than nine hundred meters north of Lao Siping Street, and a worried look appeared on his face for the first time.
Political Commissar Yang Guan walked up to Gu Changfeng and said softly: "Up to now, twelve Tiger tanks, thirty-nine Leopard II tanks, nineteen I assault guns, twenty-three Type I tank destroyers and forty-one armored fighting vehicles have withdrawn from the battle. The enemy's resistance was surprisingly stubborn! ”
"Due to the detailed intelligence, we expected this to be a tough battle long before attacking the fortification, so we waited until the ammunition was replenished before going into battle, and now it seems that we are doing it very correctly!"
Gu Changfeng said calmly: "It is precisely because we rested and recuperated in advance and mobilized before the war that our officers and soldiers were able to grit their teeth and persevere!" This time. The life of the Japanese army is definitely not easy, we have mastered air supremacy, and we can see the movement of the Japanese army at a glance, but our action devils know nothing. Moreover, the enemy's batteries and firing points are one less when they are pulled out. As long as we grit our teeth and persevere, the final victory will definitely belong to us! ”
Yang Guan nodded: "I can suddenly feel the difficulties that the German army felt in Stalingrad and now under the city of Moscow!" Although the quality of our soldiers and weapons and equipment have the upper hand. However, the Japanese army occupies a favorable position, and the anti-tank and anti-aircraft fire is extremely ferocious, and all the passages leading to the southern plains are blocked, creating a strategic situation that is difficult to open, forcing us to knock on this blocking brick to enter the central and southern Liaoning regions, so the battle will be so cruel......"
"That's right!"
Gu Changfeng's calm face showed a trace of bloodlust and excitement that he had not seen for a long time, he turned his head and said to Yang Guan: "Old Yang, we haven't fought such a cruel battle for a long time, right?" ”
Yang Guan thought about it for a while, nodded and said:
"Even in Malaya, although the Japanese army is crazy, the layout of the artillery, small artillery and firepower network is definitely not as good as the Siping Street in front of you! After all, Little Japan has been in business for more than 30 years since the Russo-Japanese War, and it is not comparable to the fortress group that was built in a hurry for several years! Since the Battle of Songhu, our front army has encountered not many strong enemies, whether it is the French army, the Siamese army or the Japanese army, they have all been defeated for various reasons before they can last long, this time the opponent is the most well-prepared, but also the most tenacious! ”
"Okay—"
Gu Changfeng waved his fist heavily: "Then I'll use Siping Street as a touchstone to see if our officers and soldiers who are used to fighting with the wind can withstand the test of brutal combat!" I believe that they will be able to hand in a perfect answer to us with practical actions! ”
"I'm sure of it too!"
Yang Guan also had a determined look on his face, but as the political commissar of the whole army, he needed to think more than Gu Changfeng, and after speaking, he turned around and strode back to the telephone, and made a phone call to inquire about the situation of the officers and soldiers on the front line, so as to find bad signs in time, eliminate all hidden dangers, and ensure the smooth progress of the battle.
