Today, the second update, ask for recommendations, ask for collections.

There is a third watch in the evening......

The 136th Division, the position of the first artillery regiment, 120 155-mm howitzers have faded their armor, and the black muzzles are exposed, pointing obliquely at the little devil position seven or eight kilometers away.

The artillery positions were built as early as yesterday, and at this time a large number of artillery shells were carried to the side of the cannons, next to each cannon, 12 artillery pieces were already in place, and the soldiers of the transport company were still unloading the shells from the trucks.

A huge hot air balloon slowly rose to an altitude of two or three hundred meters, and in the hanging basket of the hot air balloon, two soldiers with binoculars were carefully observing the position of the little devil, and told the artillery commander below the location, distance and direction of the relatively concentrated forces of the little devil through wireless telephone.

In less than ten minutes, each cannon adjusted its firing parameters, and the shellers skillfully fed the shells into the chamber and locked the gun doors, and the shelling could start at any time.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the artillery brigade commander gave the order for artillery bombardment, and the cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, and one huge shell after another, with a sharp whistle, flew towards the position of the little devil.

On the position of the little devils, a large number of little devils gathered together in hundreds or thousands, and in the grasslands of more than ten square kilometers, the little devils only built simple fortifications, and more often set up field tents.

The little devil relied on his own heavy artillery brigade, arrogant and boundless, and did not take into account the heavy artillery group of the Eighth Route Army at all, thinking that his own heavy artillery brigade could completely suppress the heavy artillery group of the Eighth Route Army.

The first round of test firing of 120 155 mm howitzers of the Eighth Route Army caused a lot of damage to the little devils, there were a few shells, which happened to fall in the crowd of little devils, after the violent explosion, the scene left only a large pit with a diameter of more than ten or twenty meters, dozens of little devils who had gathered here before were blown away, and the edge of the big pit, the stumps and broken arms of the little devils could be vaguely seen.

There is a squad of devils who are eating Chinese food together, the little devils who are eating Chinese food, do not realize that death is approaching, and they are still talking and laughing together, a cannonball exploded in the middle of this team, after the explosion, two or three little devils on the periphery were thrown a few meters away by a huge shock wave, and fell heavily on the grass, their eyes were black, and the little devils who were seriously injured were shocked to find that the comrades who were talking and laughing together just now were gone, and a few pieces of minced meat happened to fall in front of their eyes.

After the first round of test firing of the Eighth Route Army, in less than two minutes, a large-scale artillery bombardment began, and one shell after another exploded on the position of the little devils, and the little devils who had nowhere to hide had to run around the positions in a panic, and only a few experienced little devil veterans hurriedly ran to hide in the big pit that had just been blown up.

Although the area of the little devil's position was very large, and there were no little devils within a radius of several hundred meters in some places, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army did not care about this, but carried out intensive and indiscriminate artillery bombardment, striving to cover the entire position of the little devil.

At present, the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army are sufficient, and trucks can continuously deliver artillery shells to the positions from Datong, and it will take less than two hours for the big trucks to drive from Datong to the artillery positions.

The shelling of the 1st Artillery Regiment continued for more than two hours, until the barrel was hot and had to be stopped. At this time, the little devil's position was full of big pits, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were observing on the hot air balloon saw that before the shelling, the little devil's position was still a tender green grassland, and now, it was already full of devastation, and one by one the artillery pits were like being covered with scars.

On the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, Chu Tianmin, who had never seen the power of the heavy artillery group of the Eighth Route Army, opened his mouth so wide in surprise that he could almost put down an egg, and Qian Long next to him, seeing Chu Tianming's expression, only smiled slightly, patted Chu Tianming's shoulder and said, "Brother, you will get used to it in the future." ”

As soon as the shelling stopped, the mechanized infantry regiment, which had been prepared for a long time, took the lead in attacking. That's right, now it should be called a mechanized infantry regiment, seeing that the mechanized infantry battalion led by Battalion Commander Pan yesterday morning achieved good results, Zhang Yunfei hurriedly ordered that the nearly 200 off-road vehicles in the inventory were all modified and equipped with 30 mm cannons, fortunately, the number of 30 mm cannons in the arsenal was sufficient.

Early this morning, nearly 200 off-road vehicles equipped with 30-mm cannons left for the front-line positions, and after several months of training, many fighters now have driving skills, and at present there are no car drivers, so several hundred fighters who can drive were transferred from the two infantry brigades to form this temporary mechanized infantry regiment.

More than 200 off-road vehicles lined up in the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and on the back compartment of each off-road vehicle, three or four soldiers of the Eighth Route Army stood in charge of controlling the 30-mm machine gun.

If Zhang Yunfei sees these off-road vehicles, he will definitely feel that these off-road vehicles are very similar to the Humvees produced by Lao Mei, with thick armored vehicles and high chassis.

At this time, a dazzling signal flare swayed into the air, and the time to launch a general attack was up, and a loud charge sounded on the defensive position of the Eighth Route Army.

More than 200 off-road vehicles started at the same time, rushing head-on to the position of the little devils, and the position of the Eighth Route Army also sounded the shouts of mountains and tsunamis, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army jumped out of the trenches one after another, holding AK-47 assault rifles, and followed closely behind the off-road vehicles.

The position of the little devils.

At this time, the fierce shelling had just stopped, and in this shelling, at least tens of thousands of little devils were killed, and there were several thousand injured little devils, and after more than two hours of bombardment, the little devils had no effective fortifications, and it was reasonable to suffer heavy casualties.

Abe's headquarters was also hit by a shell, and several field tents were blown into rags, and the tables, chairs, and radio stations inside were shattered.

Norihide Abe and the other two brigade commanders were observing the shelling of the Eighth Route Army outside the headquarters before they were killed, and several staff officers in the headquarters were blown up into ashes.

Abe Norihide and others were also disgraced by the shock wave of the explosion, and Abe Norihide, who stood up from the ground, saw that a series of shells exploded nearby, and a large number of little devils were blown away.

The brigade commander of a little devil major general next to him suddenly saw a large number of Eighth Route Army in front of him, and a large number of off-road vehicles in the front were still in the front.
