Chapter 368: The attack begins

The time was close to evening, and the headlights in the spacious office had been turned on, and the bright lights illuminated all corners of the office, and Su Tong and Jiang Baili sat inside and listened nervously to the battle reports on the front line.

"The battle report of the Fifth Division, our division inflicted heavy losses on the enemy's 149th Division today, annihilating more than 8,000 enemy people and capturing them, and now the enemy has taken a defensive position."

"Gao Zhihang reported that today, the Fourth Division of the Seventh Theater Air Force fought on the front line of Zhangwu and Tongliao against the Japanese army, shot down more than 200 enemy planes, and our army lost 96 planes, and the bomber group achieved brilliant results and annihilated countless Japanese ground troops."

"Luo Zhuoying reported that today he fought with four divisions of the Japanese army in Zhangwu, the Japanese offensive was extremely fierce, but it did not take advantage of the intensive firepower of our department, and after the battle to the afternoon of our army's aircraft to help the battle, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and had to stop the attack, and our army took the opportunity to counterattack and severely damaged the enemy, annihilating more than 7,000 Japanese troops, and the results were brilliant!"

The good news came one after another, which made Su Tong, who had always been a little nervous, brow a lot. With his eyes closed, his fingers kept unconsciously tapping on the tabletop, and after a while, Su Tong's eyes opened suddenly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said to Jiang Baili, who was looking at him with a smile: "My chief of staff, we have been pressed and beaten by Tojo Hideki for so long, and now it's our turn to give them a little Yan Sè!" ”

Jiang Baili laughed, "You are the commander, you decide this matter!" ”

"Okay, then let's do his vote!" After speaking, Su Tong picked up the phone and shook it and said, "Hey, pick up the Third Armored Division, let Wu Jilong answer the phone"

At the headquarters of the 41st Group Army of the Seventh Theater, Yu Chengwan was sitting in the headquarters and looking at Hu Lian with blank eyes, it had been a whole week, and he would come to the headquarters every day to ask for battle, but Hu Lian gave him an order with only one word: "Wait!" ”

Seeing that the brother troops were fighting so vigorously on the front line, and he led a jīng sharp army but slept in the back, which made Yu Chengwan, who was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions and wanted to prove himself, how could he not be in a hurry.

Hu Lian, who had just finished signing a document, looked at Yu Chengwan who was sitting on the side and sighed, moved a shell box and placed it next to Yu Chengwan and sat down, "My old senior, I've said it many times. It's useless for you to be in a hurry, it's not that I won't let you go, but this matter is the order of Chief Su, he said that he should use good steel on the blade, you go back first, I will inform you if there is a combat mission. ”

Yu Chengwan smiled bitterly and said, "Bo yù, it's not that I, Yu Chengwan is unreasonable, but as soon as I go back and see the begging eyes of the regiment commanders below, I feel that I don't have the face to see them." You also know that I, the division commander, am also a newcomer, so I'm afraid that the people below will not be convinced."

"Hmph, whoever dares to disagree will let them come to me, I won't believe it, and I dare to rebel against them!" Hu Lian glared angrily and scolded casually.

"You are their old chief, so naturally you don't have to be afraid of this, but I've only been here for a few days!" Yu Chengwan shook his head and was about to speak.

"Ling Ling Ling Ling"

Suddenly, the phone rang, Hu Lian grabbed the phone, and as soon as he heard the sound that came, he immediately stood upright, and said loudly: "Hello sir, please give me orders."

At this time, a clear voice faintly came from the microphone: "I order, prepare a counterattack according to the plan!" ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Hu Lian assured loudly.

After putting down the phone, Hu Lian looked back at Yu Chengwan and said with a smile, "Old senior, now your wish has been fulfilled, you go back to organize the troops now, prepare for battle, and all officers above the division level will come to the headquarters for a meeting at eight o'clock tonight!" ”

The sky lit up, and on the position of the 211th Wing of the 149th Division of the Japanese Army, Private Ryo Ikeda was awakened by a burst of niào consciousness, and he really didn't think of chuáng, and in the end, he couldn't hold it anymore, so he reluctantly got out of the warm quilt and came to a xiǎodòng next to the position to put the water out.

The attacks in the past few days have really exhausted them, and the three consecutive days of attacks have depleted their jīng strength, and the heavy casualties of the troops have made Ikeda Ryogo, a veteran, unbearable.

Once upon a time, the Huaxia people were once synonymous with cowards and guts, and many of the soldiers and officers in the division disdained the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia soldiers. Although there have been many rumors in the past year or so that many divisions and regiments of the Kwantung Army have suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Chahar troops, due to the blockade of high-level information and the dilution of information, many soldiers and low-ranking officers at the bottom do not understand the combat effectiveness of the Chahar army, or do not want to believe it.

But the battles in the past few days have made them see a fact that they have not known and are unwilling to face, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people is no worse than that of the imperial soldiers, and even surpasses it, especially their firepower is even more ferocious and perverted, and the bravery that the imperial soldiers have always been proud of is useless.

The brave Imperial soldiers fell in large groups in front of the positions of the Shina people, and in the dense rain of bullets, Ikeda Ryogo found that the only thing he could do was to find a place to hide his head without a head.

For this reason, Ikeda Ryogo was almost chopped by the captain of the xiǎo from Hokkaido, but the irony was that the brave captain of the xiǎo was killed by a stray bullet of the Shina man when he was about to chop himself, and when he thought of the dead fish eyes of the captain of the xiǎo who died without blinding his eyes, Ikeda Ryogo felt that this world was really amazing, in his heart Captain xiǎo, who had always been very brave, died, and he, a person who was afraid of death, survived, Could it be that Amaterasu didn't bless those warriors, but a gallant ghost like me? What an irony of this world!

The biting chill made Ikeda shiver, and he quickly put back the convenient xiǎo thing that had been in the air for too long and was about to freeze.

Ryogo Ikeda tied up his kùzi and was about to return to the humble but warm anti-cannon dòng when suddenly Ikeda felt a faint light in the distance.

"Nani! What's that! ”

Ryogo Ikeda, who thought he was in the dark, wiped his eyes with his hand and widened his eyes again, yes, it was a burst of light, bursts of fiery red light came from afar, and the light became brighter and brighter, reflecting the entire gray sky red.

"Not good!" Ryogo Ikeda shouted. Although he didn't know what it was, with the intuition of a soldier, Ikeda knew that it must not be a good thing, and as he watched the dazzling light get closer and brighter, Ikeda Ryogo fell into the xiǎodòng that he had just sprinkled.

Thanks to Amaterasu, that xiǎodòng was just enough to stuff him, and although his nose was full of niàosāo now, in the eyes of Ikeda Ryogo at this time, this was heaven.

Soon, the light finally approached, and a loud bang sounded over the position, and a violent explosion shook Ikeda Ryungo in hiding. Immediately afterward, dense and violent explosions continued to be heard, and several shells were also hit by several shells near Xiǎodòng, where Ikeda Ryogo was hiding.

The deafening explosion made Ikeda think that he was going to die in this unprecedented bombardment, but fortunately, the bombardment came and went faster, and in less than five minutes, the bombardment of an inexplicable scale was over.

Ryogo Ikeda was about to crawl out of the xiǎodòng, but then he heard a familiar whistling sound.

"Yaga, it's the 155 howitzer of the Zhina people!" Ikeda Ryogo groaned in pain, this kind of cannon sound is too familiar to him, it is a cannon that only the heavy artillery brigade of the empire is equipped with, there are no people or animals within a radius of fifty meters from a single cannon, and the empire does not know how many heroic soldiers have fallen under this kind of artillery fire these days.

At this time, on the nearly 40-kilometer-long front line of the Tongliao front, more than 500 artillery divisions and 5th artillery divisions with a caliber of more than 500 mén and 105 calibers were constantly roaring, as if they wanted to vent all the humiliation suffered by the Chinese people for nearly half a century.

"Bang dang!"

A crisp sound came, and a shiny shell case retreated from the barrel and fell to the ground with green smoke.

Before the gunner could speak, the loader on the side had already loaded the fused shells with his hands with thick asbestos gloves.

"Dang!" The bolt was immediately closed.

"Reloaded!"

"Put!"

"Boom!"

The whole body of the gun, which weighed more than 10 tons, was shocked, and a puff of smoke came out of the huge muzzle, and the barrel of the cannon was retracted and then reset. At this time, the commander's voice could no longer be heard on the artillery position, and the sound of artillery was continuous, even if earplugs were placed in the ears, they still could not stop the invasion of the deafening artillery sound.

In the observation post, Wang Qinglong's eyes were attached to the high-powered observation glass, and he couldn't stop observing the Japanese position in the distance, and finally gave up because the smoke was too big.

At this time, the correspondent ran over: "Sir, aerial reconnaissance has reported that most of the Japanese army's first-line positions have been destroyed, and they can be extended to the Japanese army's second-line positions!" ”

"Okay, order the artillery fire to extend to the enemy's second-line position, and move quickly!"

"Yes!"

"Bang bang!"

Two green flares rose over the artillery position, the dazzling light could not be concealed even by the dense smoke, and when the flare was raised at the front of the position, the sound of the artillery on the position paused for a moment.

The artillerymen hurriedly seized the time to adjust the shè and angle, and in less than a minute they began to roar again.

Not far from the artillery position, a large black shadow was lurking there motionless, as if an ancient beast was sleeping. Wu Jilong stood on the conning tower, holding a telescope motionless and observing the front.

"Report, our artillery fire began to extend to the second-line positions of the Japanese army! Flares have been sent! An observer reported.

Wu Jilong shouted: "Okay! Order the troops to start the tanks and get ready to go! ”
