Chapter 1076: Seize air supremacy

Today, as usual, after the time for Xiao Chuanjing and his subordinates to be on duty, they and another squad completed the handover and entered the north bank of a river in the front of Xingxian County, and were about to follow the bridge to the forward position on the south bank for standing guard and routine patrol.

There was a sudden rumbling sound in front of him, Ogawa Jing was a top student who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school, and there was also a special chariot unit in the Kwantung Army, so he had heard this kind of sound, so he instinctively became vigilant, and immediately picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and looked at the far south.

At first, Ogawa didn't notice anything, but soon, the shocking roar of the engine became clearer, and he finally noticed the anomaly, almost at the end of his sight, the dirt road kicked up a cloud of dust, which at first glance looked like a tornado was coming.

But with Ogawa adjusting the magnification of the telescope? Finally, I saw clearly what was coming, not a sandstorm, not a tornado, but a tank tank tank with a dazzling red flag, and those clouds of smoke and dust were rolled up by the rapid gallop of tank and combat vehicles.

Xiao Chuan made a rough estimate, the huge tank cluster, to say the least, there were hundreds, he was so frightened that the corners of his mouth turned blue, and his legs couldn't help but tremble, "Oh my God, it's the Zhina Army!" The tank and combat vehicle group of the Chinese army is coming! ”

First muttered a few words to himself in fright, Xiao Chuanjing suddenly turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Quickly send a signal flare, hurry, the Chinese army is coming!" The Chinese army is coming! ”

A ghost soldier Cao Cao with a flare gun hurriedly took it out, and hurriedly raised it in a panic, but the first time he forgot to load the signal flare, and pulled the trigger a few times without success.

Syllable! With a muffled sound, a red signal flare suddenly rose into the air, and red was the highest level of warning for the Japanese army.

Sure enough, behind them, the sentries with devils spotted the red flares and immediately began to sound more alarms.

In just two minutes, a large number of devils quickly poured out of Xingxian in a panic and entered the position, and some of the devils who stayed in the bunkers and hidden bunkers also raised their weapons one after another and prepared for battle.

Ogawa Jing and his subordinates were even scolded by a Japanese soldier, rushed into the first forward position, and together with the hundreds of Japanese troops who came later, they became the front line of resistance to the attack of the Dragon Tooth Corps.

In less than 10 minutes, the 400 tank armies of the two tank divisions roared and galloped, and after reaching the front of the Japanese position, at least 100 No. 4 tanks opened fire one after another, firing hundreds of high-explosive shells at the Japanese position.

Suddenly, a cluster of scorching and dazzling red flames bloomed one after another on the forward position of the Japanese army and rose into the air, and then a violent explosion sounded throughout, and the entire Japanese position shook.

After the explosion, the smoke began to rise into the air, and soon spread in all directions of the Japanese position under the action of the wind.

As more and more No. 4 tanks arrived one after another and joined the artillery bombardment, the Japanese positions were hit more intensively and fiercely, and 400 No. 4 tanks, each salvo, was 400 shells.

Directly bombed the entire forward position of the Japanese army into a sea of fire, various fortifications were shattered, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties. Then, several infantry battalions that arrived later, thousands of officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to cross their own tank clusters and charge at the Japanese positions filled with smoke and dust.

The first line of defense of the Japanese army was easily broken through by the infantry of the Dragon's Tooth Corps, and Xiao Chuanjing was stunned by the dense tank artillery fire at that time, and it was his two soldiers who retreated to the north bank of the second river with a few blows on his back.

The Japanese blew up all the bridges over the second river in time, and were able to temporarily block the onslaught of the Dragon's Tooth Corps.

When Xiao Chuan woke up, he found that he was lying in the field hospital in Xingxian County, and there were violent explosions outside, so he quickly turned over, jumped off the hospital bed, and then ran out desperately.

When he arrived at the Japanese defensive position on the north bank of the second river, he found that it had been completely covered by artillery fire from the Chinese army on the opposite bank and had turned into a sea of fire.

A huge wave of heat rushed to his face, almost knocking Xiao Chuanjing to the ground, he hurriedly lowered his head and squatted down, found a pillbox to hide, and then jumped into a traffic trench near the pillbox, lying down.

Before long, a cannonball whizzed over his head, and the bunker he had used to hide was also hit by a cannonball, and it was reduced to rubble on the spot. It was a bunker made of reinforced concrete, and it was blown into ruins all at once.

Ogawa was so frightened that his heart almost stopped fluttering. How many heavy artillery is this damn Chinese army equipped with to be so powerful?

IN FACT, EACH OF THE THREE DIVISIONS NOW HAS A HEAVY ARTILLERY REGIMENT, WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH 30 HEAVY HOWITZERS OF 150MM CALIBER AND 70 MEDIUM HOWITZERS OF 105MM CALIBER RESPECTIVELY.

Each artillery regiment has 100 artillery pieces, and three artillery regiments are 300 howitzers, of which 90 are 150mm, and 211 stone doors are 105mm, and these 300 guns are fired at the same time, plus 75mm tank guns of 400 tanks, and nearly 1,000 cannons, which are fired at the same time, and the power can be imagined.

Even though most of the devil's fortifications were poured with steel and cement, they could not withstand the intensive bombardment of thousands of high-explosive grenades and armor-piercing shells per minute, so many pillboxes and bunkers were blown into ruins, and the devil soldiers inside were either blown into meat sauce, or they were directly shocked to death or buried alive.

Xiao Chuan Jing was also hit in the leg by a steel stone blown away by a shock wave, and suddenly he howled miserably, and the entire left leg immediately flowed blood, as if he had been pricked by a needle, and the pain began to spread, and Xiao Chuan Jing almost fainted in pain.

The artillery bombardment of the Shina Army on the other side of the river continued, and the shells continued to fly over the head of the Ogawa Jing like meteors, and smashed down on the deep positions of the Japanese army with a roar.

"No, if this continues, I'll die." Ogawa endured the severe pain and began to crawl back, but his left leg was still bleeding, leaving scarlet blood stains every time he climbed a certain distance.

When Xiao Chuanjing had just climbed out of a few dozen meters, misfortune struck again, and a cannonball actually landed in the traffic trench where he was hiding, and a huge scorching shock wave suddenly swallowed him up completely along the traffic trench.

Knowing that the Japanese army had destroyed the bridge, Liu Yidao ordered all the attacking troops to concentrate all their artillery fire and cover the Japanese positions with the most intense artillery fire, intending to blow up all the permanent fortifications of the devils on the north bank with strong and dense artillery fire, so as to facilitate the next attack.

At the same time, the engineer regiments of each division, with the help of their own artillery fire, began to quickly erect steel pontoon bridges to provide a way for the attacking troops to cross the river.

While the ground forces launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army, the 1st Flying Group of the Falcon Flying Regiment also successfully attacked a Japanese military airfield in Huludao, destroying more than 20 fighters, reconnaissance planes, and bombers in the airfield.
