Chapter 753: Massive Bombardment and Shelling
In accordance with Zhang Yunfei's intentions, the Ministry of National Defense has drawn up a new round of operational plans, which have already been distributed to the six major group armies in Japan.
Kitakyushu City, belonging to Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan, is located in the northeast of Kyushu Island, next to Honshu, Japan, is a port city in Japan, and Yamaguchi Prefecture in Honshu is only separated by the narrow Kanmon Strait.
At present, the 6th Army and the 11th Army have reached Kitakyushu City, and even quite a few troops have reached the seashore, and the Japanese troops across the Kanmon Strait and the other side have been facing each other for a day or two.
The Guanmen Strait is very narrow, the narrowest part is only two or three kilometers, and there was originally a bridge in the strait, but this bridge had been blown up by the little devils a few days ago.
This morning, Chu Tianming and Liao Yaoxiang came to the beach one after another, holding binoculars to carefully observe the little devils on the other side, according to the plane's reconnaissance, there are tens of thousands of little devils on the other side, obviously, the little devils want to prevent the Chinese army from crossing the strait into Honzhou.
The two looked at it for a long time, and then inspected a number of artillery positions, and the two of them appeared full of confidence, the two major armies had already built a number of huge artillery positions, and as long as they gave an order, they could carry out large-scale artillery bombardment of the little devils on the opposite bank.
However, before the shelling, there was also a large-scale aerial bombardment, and a large number of Mustang fighters had already taken off from the two major airports of Yeosu and Busan, that is, the newly built large airports in the northern suburbs of Fukuoka City, which also began to station Mustang fighters, and today, two Mustang fighter squadrons have also taken off from there.
Nearly 300 Mustang fighters were flying towards this direction at a gallop, and soon, these Mustang fighters began to carry out large-scale and fierce bombardment of the little devils on the opposite bank.
The fighters saw a large number of Mustang fighters across the Guanmen Strait. The soldiers could already hear the sound of fierce bombardment on the other side, and many soldiers began to watch the large-scale bombardment on the other side with great interest.
Some commanders even held their binoculars and watched the little devils on the other side of the bank being constantly blown up, and the fortifications that the little devils had worked so hard to build were destroyed in large numbers.
Chu Tianming and Liao Yaoxiang, who have returned to the headquarters of Kitakyushu City, have also been reported that there are now nearly 300 Mustang fighters attacking the little devils on the other side.
"Lao Liao! With so many of our planes bombing and air strikes on the little devils, I think the little devils must have suffered heavy casualties. ”
Hear the words. Liao Yaoxiang laughed and said happily: "I can imagine that under such a large-scale bombardment as ours, the little devil's position is already full of corpses. ”
Ha ha...
The two of them laughed again as they talked. Then, the two discussed the timing of the start of large-scale shelling by the artillery regiments and the heavy artillery brigades.
According to the battle plan, the first round will be a large-scale bombardment, the second round will be a large-scale artillery bombardment, and when the position opposite the little devil is almost destroyed, then the soldiers will cross the sea on a large scale, and the soldiers will cross the Guanmen Strait and land on the opposite side. Enter the state to fight.
Opposite, over the position of the little devils.
A large number of Mustang fighters are bombing a number of huge defensive positions of the little devils, and the little devils must have deployed troops on the opposite side for a long time, and many of the fortifications built by the little devils are still cement fortifications.
But. The number of Mustang fighters is too much, and the heavy aerial bombs dropped are too dense, and many little devil fortifications are often bombed by several heavy aerial bombs at the same time.
On a little devil's position near the beach. A cement bunker built by a little devil has been hit by two or three heavy aerial bombs weighing 150 kilograms in succession.
The large cement bunker of the little devils actually began to crack, and the dozen or so little devils in the bunker had been shocked to death two or three, and the remaining little devils were also extremely uncomfortable.
One of the little devils, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, was obviously a recruit, and at this time, he was squatting on the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands, and his face was pale.
This little devil has been scared stupidly, and the little devil who has never been on the battlefield never imagined that the bombs dropped by Chinese planes would be so terrifying.
There was a loud "boom", and another bomb hit this bunker directly, and the bunker was finally overwhelmed, with a bang, cracked everywhere, collapsed, and became a pile of ruins, and the little devils inside did not know whether they were killed or buried alive.
Not far away, a little devil's bunker was also directly overturned by a bomb, and the trenches built by some little devils were blown to pieces, and they couldn't see their previous appearance.
It can be seen from the situation of the little devil's position that the little devil must have suffered a lot of casualties.
Nearly 300 Mustang fighters, after dropping all the bombs they carried, everyone swooped down and strafed, and carried out rounds of intensive strafing at the position of the little devils, and the casualties of the little devils increased a few points.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that these Mustang fighters ran out of bullets, and everyone returned one after another, leaving behind a ruined position and a large number of corpses of little devils on the position.
Most of the tens of thousands of little devils stationed on the other side of the river are newly formed troops, with low combat effectiveness and basically no battlefield experience.
In the fierce bombardment just now, many recruits of the little devils even ran around in horror instead of hiding, and these little devils who ran around were all killed without accident.
The officers of the little devils, although they saw that these planes were far away, but when they saw their troops who had suffered heavy casualties and saw their broken fortifications, these little devil officers wanted to cry without tears.
At this time, the positions of the little devils were already full of corpses, and the casualties of the little devils must have been more than half, and the 50,000 or 60,000 little devils stationed on the 20 to 30 kilometers of coastline in the Guanmen Strait, large and small, were killed by Mustang fighters, and conservatively estimated that more than 20,000, and at least more than 10,000 little devils were injured.
Such a large casualty, for the little devil, is indeed a heavy casualty.
After these Mustang fighters left, many little devils began to treat the wounded and repair the fortifications, and the little devils thought that after such a large-scale bombing, the Chinese army on the opposite side would definitely come.
Some little devil officers also began to hold binoculars and observe the Chinese army opposite.
However, the Chinese troops on the other side did not seem to move at all, and had no intention of crossing the Guanmen Strait, and many little devil officers who saw this scene thought in their hearts, could the Chinese army still carry out bombing.
After the massive bombing and air strikes of the Mustang fighters, the 6th Army, the 11th Army, a large number of heavy artillery groups were ready to prepare for a large-scale shelling of the little devils on the opposite side.
The two armies, with hundreds of 105-mm howitzers and 155-mm howitzers, constituted several huge artillery positions, at this time, the fighters were ready for shelling, the fighters were already in place, and as soon as the time came, large-scale shelling would begin.
This time, according to the order, the shelling time of each heavy artillery group was a full hour, and as the construction of the Fukuoka Prefectural Airport was gradually completed, a large number of shells were transported to the Fukuoka Prefectural Airport by air, and the soldiers had enough shells.
The position of the heavy artillery brigade of the 6th Army.
The commander of the heavy artillery brigade has already looked at his watch several times, and it is getting closer and closer to 10 o'clock, and the commander of the heavy artillery brigade already knows that the large-scale bombardment of Mustang fighters has ended, and next, it is the turn of his artillery to exert its might.
"Brigadier Commander! I'm really looking forward to it! A whole hour of shelling, such a long shelling time, the position of the little devils will definitely be blown up by us, and there will be no scum left. ”
Hearing this, the brigade commander smiled happily, "There are still fifteen minutes before the shelling time, I am very much looking forward to it, it has been a long time since there has been such a large-scale artillery bombardment, this time it is our two major armies, and hundreds of heavy artillery are tilting shells at the little devil." ”
All around, several commanders of heavy artillery brigades, listening to the words of their brigade commanders, also became slightly excited, such a large-scale artillery bombardment, the scene must be very spectacular.
10 o'clock sharp.
The soldiers began the first round of test firing, several huge artillery positions, and quite a few heavy artillery began to roar, firing the first shells at the little devil positions on the opposite bank.
However, although it was a test firing, due to the large number of heavy artillery, the scene was relatively spectacular, and the movement was relatively large, not only a large number of soldiers waiting to cross the sea to fight saw it, but also a large number of little devils on the other side.
At this time, many little devil officers were holding binoculars and had been observing the movements of the Chinese troops on the other side, but the Chinese troops on the other side had not seen any movement for a long time, and many of the little devils had already faintly felt uneasy.
Suddenly, some of the little devil officers heard a large number of whistling sounds in the sky, and these little devil officers knew that this was the only movement that could only occur when a large number of heavy artillery were fired.
"Yaga! Heavy artillery groups of the Chinese army, massive artillery shelling of us by the Chinese army. ”
These little devil officers shouted in horror, and the little devil officers never expected that after the large-scale bombardment, there would be a large-scale shelling, and it was a lot of heavy artillery shelling.
Thinking of this, many little devil officers felt a chill in their hearts.
On the position of the little devils, many little devils are treating the wounded, or reinforcing their positions, these little devils heard a large number of sharp whistling sounds in the sky, and many little devils looked dazed.
These little devils, most of them recruits, have never experienced large-scale shelling, and hearing these voices, the little devils are thinking, what is going on?
Only a small number of little devil veterans, after hearing this whistling sound, their faces changed, and they shouted in horror and tried their best, obviously shouting, telling the little devils to hide quickly.
