Chapter 571: The General Offensive Begins
. 9971599715. Early the next morning, with the arrival of dawn, the entire Baishan County once again returned to the pre-war tranquility "However, as long as you are a veteran with rich combat experience, you can feel the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield." At this moment, not only the soldiers on both sides are accumulating their energy for the final general attack...
Similarly, at this moment, in the city of Hakusan, under the continuous harassment of the 1st Brigade of the advance detachment, the division commander Lieutenant General Sato, who did not take any rest all night. At the first time, I felt that a big battle related to the life and death of myself and tens of thousands of subordinates was about to start in this Baishan county...
Early in the morning, after a night of chaos, the county was once again quiet. The two main divisions, all the commanders above the wing, all gathered in the conference room of the division headquarters at the sound of Sato's order. Under the chairmanship of Lieutenant General Sato, the last operational meeting before the war was held, "Gentlemen, you are all the best officers in the Great Japanese Empire, and I think you know better than me the situation facing our army. Behind this tranquility, it must be the people of China outside the city, who are carrying a more fierce attack. If my guess is correct, the people of China outside the city must be making final preparations for the final attack. And they will also launch a final repentance in the next few hours against the Baishan County that we are trapped in."
Maybe it's because these wing commanders, in the midst of a series of failures and setbacks, have become numb. Maybe it's because of these commanders, after a night of exhaustion, everyone is tired and doesn't want to say a word more.
As soon as the words of the division commander Lieutenant General Sato fell, there was no sound in the entire conference room.
Everyone, with a pair of tired eyes, looked at the division commander in front of them, Lieutenant General Sato, without blinking, and waited for the division commander, Lieutenant General Sato's next words."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the grim situation of the situation is in everyone's eyes - under the cunning Shina people outside the city, under the constant sneak attacks of the night, our soldiers, below me. Basically, there were no breaks. What's more, our soldiers, because of the lack of food, have not eaten anything for a day and a night, so to speak, the current troops, both in morale and physical strength, are very weak, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army has also reached the lowest time" Seeing that everyone nodded thoughtfully, Lieutenant General Sato changed his words and continued, "However, you are all the best officers in the Great Japanese Empire, and more importantly, you are the most elite army in the Great Japanese Empire, In the face of so many honors, even if we face even the most serious problems, we must bravely face them... Therefore, "I hope that you, from now on, will raise your heads, build up the confidence to defeat the people outside the city, and set an example to the soldiers under your command, so that the soldiers will know that we still have hope" The Great Japanese Empire, the Kwantung Army Command has not forgotten us. As long as we can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, we have a chance to get rid of the end of the total annihilation... At the same time, there is also a chance that in the near future, he will return to the battlefield again and use the blood and heads of the people of China to "avenge those jade-shattered imperial warriors" After speaking, Lieutenant General Sato's face "was almost flushed-
"Hai, please rest assured that your excellency the division commander will definitely live up to the love of the division commander and resolutely hold the position" The chief of staff was the first to stand up and said with an excited face...
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, you will guarantee the completion of the task and hold the position" Under the leadership of the chief of staff, the remaining dozen or so senior officers stood up from their seats at the same time and replied with an impassioned face, "Yo Xi, now I order, from now on, all units must hold their positions. No matter what situation their troops encounter, without an order from the division and regimental headquarters, it is forbidden for anyone to take a step back "All combat units, under themselves, swear to live and die with the position" In response to everyone's answer, Lieutenant General Sato nodded with satisfaction and ordered loudly, "Hai... Commander Mao replied in unison again, "Gentlemen, I hope that after you go back, no matter what method you use, you must restore the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the shortest possible time." Let us meet the enemy's attack with the best spirit. With the bullets in our hands, we will tell the cunning Shina people outside the city that the Great Japanese Empire is invincible. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the Great Japanese Empire, only the warriors who died in battle, the cowards who did not surrender, the monarchs, the life and death of the entire group army, here, I will ask you. I hope we can work together and save the entire group army," Lieutenant General Sato said loudly, standing up. At the same time, he bowed deeply to the dozen or so officers in front of him, and outside the north gate of Baishan County, on a high ground about three kilometers away from the city gate, there was a semi-underground bunker. Commander Liu Hua and Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu were holding the telescope in their hands, standing at the watchmouth of the headquarters, staring motionlessly at the unusually quiet Baishan County not far away, and behind the two of them, "In the forward command outside the north gate, more than a dozen combat staff officers, holding a telephone at the same time, put the microphone to their ears. A pair of eyes, motionless staring at the commander Liu Hua in front of him, waiting for the commander Liu Hua, to give the order for the final general attack, finally, in the entire command center, also fell into a quiet, deputy commander Yang Jingyu's voice broke the silence of the command headquarters...,
"Commander, it's almost time..."
"Lao Yang, you said that after this campaign, no matter whether we can complete the ultimate strategic goal or not, we will completely annihilate the 40,000 little devils in the county. How much will we pay for ourselves? Regarding Deputy Commander Yang's reminder, Liu Hua did not answer immediately. Instead, he frowned tightly and asked the deputy commander rhetorically, "As the so-called commander of a general who has achieved ten thousand bones and withered bones, although we will lose many excellent soldiers and countless commanders and fighters, after this battle, we will never see the sun of tomorrow, but everyone has shed blood and died for the sake of this country." More importantly, although we will lose a lot. But the price that the little devil needs to pay will be a giant dog even more than ours" Yang Jingyu replied affirmatively, "Yes...... it will be a success... However, I believe what you said, the price paid by the little devils in this battle will definitely be greater than ours. Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives, after seeing our final results, will definitely be blinded..."Liu Hua nodded and said, "Commander, don't think too much about this battle, although we will pay a great price." However, such a large-scale battle is undoubtedly a good training battle. I believe that after the end of the battle, those fighters who survived, without exception, must be the most elite fighters of our Anti-Japanese Federation, whether it is the Anti-Japanese Federation or the nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese armed forces that reinforce us. After the baptism of this battle, after all, it will become a real elite division, an elite division with combat effectiveness no less than that of a little devil..."Yang Jingyu continued.
"Well, then let's do it... Or according to the pre-war plan ... The artillery of the three main divisions mainly shelled the city walls and destroyed all the fortifications built by the Japanese army on the city walls. All the artillery concentrated at the north gate fired, destroying all the houses in the city, creating chaos for the Japanese army, and leaving them to take care of themselves Now I order, all troops, according to the established battle plan, the general offensive will begin" Liu Hua nodded, turned around, and commanded loudly to the dozen or so combat staff officers behind him, "The general offensive begins... As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, more than a dozen combat staff officers gave the order for a general attack on the microphone on their lips at the same time, and in an instant, the roar of shaking mountains quickly reached the ears of everyone on both sides of the battlefield from far and near.
With the roar of the roar. Shells of various calibers, with bursts of whistling sounds, accurately smashed into their targets, and then, one after another, there was a huge explosion...
In just a moment, the three city walls in the east, west and south of Baishan County, in the first round of shelling, were completely shrouded in the explosion of shells by the smoke generated by the explosion of shells.
Driven by the huge air wave generated by the explosion of the shells, sandbags weighing dozens of kilograms, light and heavy machine guns, and even little devil soldiers.
It's like a toy, it was thrown high into the air more than ten meters high... Then, under the tug of countless shrapnel, it immediately became the most primitive parts, scattered around the city walls."
In the face of such a fierce shelling, the little devils who stuck to the city wall were unexpectedly stunned at the first time, standing motionless in the fierce artillery fire. Standing on his own position, stupidly waiting for the shrapnel flying around him, harvesting his own life, because, at this moment, the little devil was completely shocked by the artillery fire in front of him... As the most elite Kwantung Army soldiers in the Japanese army, although their combat effectiveness is very strong, the quality of individual soldiers is also first-class...
However, in the past few years of fighting against the Anti-United Nations, it has always been his own fierce artillery fire to shell his own enemy, as for himself, in the face of the Anti-United Nations without any heavy weapons, he has not even withstood the most basic artillery fire, let alone such a fierce, almost airtight artillery fire...
However, after two rounds of artillery fire exploded on the city walls, destroying one machine gun position after another, and eliminating one devil soldier after another... The Japanese commanders at all levels finally reacted from the shock" Then, in front of the little devils who were still in shock, they gave the order to retreat and avoid artillery fire, and in the exclamations of the commanders at all levels, the little devils who were pulled back to reality also resumed their well-trained training at the first time. One by one, the devil soldiers, holding their weapons tightly, pierced back and forth in the dense artillery fire, dodging the shelling that might appear above their heads",
In the city of Baishan County, on a high ground where the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment is located, "Lieutenant General Sato, the commander of the regiment, was holding the telescope in his hand, frowning his brows, observing the battle situation around him, and just when Lieutenant General Sato's gaze was completely attracted by the fierce shelling of the three city gates... A sharp whistle of cannonballs came to the face... Hearing the whistling of oncoming shells, the faces of the guards standing next to Lieutenant General Sato immediately turned pale. Then, he quickly pounced on the division commander in front of him, and at the same time, he exclaimed loudly, "Division commander be careful" There was an exclamation that just reached his ears. Lieutenant General Sato's body "fell heavily to the ground under the push and shoving of several guards at the same time, followed by several guards, who pressed heavily on his body, ready to use his body to "block the shrapnel that may appear behind him...
"Boom" A huge explosion sounded beside him, and in the smoke of the shell explosion, Lieutenant General Sato slowly got up, and at this moment, lying behind Lieutenant General Sato, several conscientious guards, under the killing of countless shrapnel, have turned into a bloody corpse...
"Bastard, cunning Shina man, actually hiding so many large-caliber artillery, Geyalu! Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the Kwantung Army Command, requesting operational guidance "In any case, we must ask the Air Force to destroy the artillery positions of the Shina people outside the city in the shortest possible time, otherwise, we will only be beaten under the fierce shelling of the Shina people" Looking at the soldiers who died for themselves, Lieutenant General Sato clenched his fists and ordered loudly, but even if the Kwantung Army Command sent air force units to reinforce it in the shortest possible time, it would be half an hour later ...
And at this moment, the entire Baishan county "after more than 100 artillery pieces and ten minutes of continuous shelling." Three walls have been completely caught in a sea of fire... As for the county, after hundreds of explosions at the same time, almost every street and every house was ablaze."
The little devils on the city wall, except for a small number of little devils, under the command of commanders at all levels, quickly withdrew from the city wall, and shrunk into a ball under the corner of the city wall, avoiding the fierce artillery fire overhead.
Most of the remaining little devils are lying on their own positions, constantly praying to Amaterasu, praying that they can avoid such dense artillery fire, as for the little devils who are hoarded in the county town, under the persecution of commanders at all levels, dragging their tired bodies to build street fortifications. In the face of the raging fires that can be seen everywhere, in order to avoid being engulfed in the flames. had to give up his fortifications, insisted on his last bit of physical strength, rushed to the fire, extinguished the fire, and finally, the explosions that kept ringing in my ears slowly ended under the prayers of all the little devils in the county... Twenty minutes later, more than a hundred artillery pieces erected outside the city stopped speaking."
However, in the twenty minutes of shelling, on the three city walls, the various fortifications and machine gun positions built by the Japanese army for several days, almost half of them were destroyed, and only a few sporadic machine gun positions remained, which can be said to be a slight lack of way for the defense of the entire section of the city wall, of course, for the Japanese army, the biggest loss was not these fortifications, but the three walls of the defenders on the city wall, the devil of an infantry wing, after the sudden intensive artillery fire, coupled with the already low morale, An additional infantry wing, before seeing the shadow of the road army outside the city, paid more than half of the casualties, and the remaining soldiers, although in the shortest possible time, rushed up the city wall, lying on the battlements of the city wall, raising the weapons in their hands, ready to meet the first round of attack of the anti-alliance...... However, it can be seen from the dull gaze and weak hands of these little devils. After the fierce shelling just now, these soldiers have lost the last bit of their sharpness... At this moment, they are completely relying on their last bit of strength to hold on, and they don't have any combat effectiveness at all, compared with the tragedy on the city wall, the city is not much better. Although, one by one, the ** that caused the fire no longer comes to the county seat. However, the raging fires that are ubiquitous in the county still continue to burn, constantly consuming the little physical strength left by the little devils in the city......
More importantly, the ubiquitous fires held back the limited forces in the city. Let the little devils in the county town, even if they know that the defenders of the city wall have suffered heavy losses and urgently need reinforcements. I can't spare even a little bit of troops to send reinforcements to the city wall! ~!.
