Chapter 90: Capture Jining

The first shot was fired on time in the battle of attacking Jining, to be precise, it should be the first artillery, and there was not much difference from the previous battle, first the artillery brigade of various calibers of artillery bombarded indiscriminately, but the artillery brigade only had 105 mm howitzers and 155 mm heavy artillery, and those 75 mm field guns were originally divided into various regiments by Su Dao and used as close fire support weapons.

For the 99th Army, with larger caliber artillery, those guns with a caliber of less than 100 mm can naturally be delegated to the troops below, so that not only can the speed of the movement of the artillery brigade be solved, but also the firepower of each infantry regiment can be greatly strengthened, and now each regiment has at least two or three 75 mm field guns, as well as at least one truck to transport artillery shells and some machine gun ammunition.

Before the Yue army, which had just captured Jining, had time to warm up the stool under the buttocks, it ushered in a fierce blow from the 99th Army. The roaring sound of artillery frightened those soldiers who had not seen large-caliber artillery, and some veterans could only hide under the city wall, hoping that the shells would not fall on the city wall.

The earth trembled wildly, devouring the lives of several soldiers at every moment, and from the beginning of the war to the present, they seemed to really feel the call of death. The battlefield, which was completely different from the domestic propaganda, was indeed no different from the propaganda when they first came to China, but soon they fell to the bottom.

The reason is very simple, because I know that Huaxia is a country that can't even make artillery, and even a screw has to be imported. But what they didn't expect finally happened, and it was so unexpected.

During this period, HNA fighters also came to help the Japanese army, but because the 99th Army already had an air defense brigade and had already arranged air defense positions around Jining, it intercepted the Japanese fighters as early as before the Japanese fighters arrived over Jining, causing the pilots of the Chinese army, who had not made the slightest preparation, to suffer a dark loss.

But when they flew over Jining, they also discovered the fact that the battle was not something they could join at will, they came with fighter jets, not bombers, and the air defense brigade no longer devoured the fighters of the Japanese army all the time, forcing the pilots of the Japanese army to repeatedly raise the height of the aircraft, but since then, their support for the ground station is basically equal to nothing.

At present, military aviation units often use tactics such as low-altitude dive strafing when supporting infantry in battle, but after all, this is based on the premise that the opponent does not have any air defense weapons, and it is impossible to shoot down a high-speed fighter plane from the ground with a rifle or machine gun, and the probability is even very small.

But once the other side has anti-aircraft weapons, it is different, bullets are not as good as artillery shells, often a shell goes down, even if it does not directly hit the plane, but only explodes around the plane, it can also hurt the pilot. And every time the air force of the Chinese army fought with the 99th Army, there would always be some unlucky air force that was directly killed by shrapnel from artillery shells.

The cannon outside the city was loud, and the people in the city could only close their doors tightly, secretly praying to the heavens, hoping that the heavens could cherish themselves and not let the cannonballs fall into their own courtyards, they were just ordinary civilians, not those outlaw soldiers, the enemy came and died, what was the big deal?

No matter how the war goes, the people still have to live, and they are powerless to change the current status quo, nor are they powerless to change the fact that the Chinese army invaded China, and still less can they make China's national defense force stronger than the Chinese army, so they can only hide in their houses and survive in secret.

The artillery bombarded for an hour, hundreds of artillery pieces, and nearly 10,000 shells were fired within an hour.

Why is artillery called the god of war? In addition to ruthlessly harvesting the lives of soldiers, it seems that it can easily tear apart a person's psychological defense, bombing without scruples, being exposed to artillery fire, even if it has a strong will, it will be unceremoniously torn apart.

As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, a whole hundred T-34 tanks swarmed up, although a hundred tanks were not many, but the armored cluster composed of a hundred tanks was extremely powerful, like a sharp arrow, straight into the heart of the opponent, and the opponent was still powerless.

The 85-mm tank guns kept sending shells out of the barrels, and the fire points of the Japanese army that showed signs of resistance were instantly cleared. For a while, the army did not have the slightest ability to resist, but anyone who dared to shoot and block the attack, and who could threaten the infantry behind, without saying a word, was directly a cannon over, and they couldn't carry 60 mortars, let alone 85 mm tank guns.

If the threat is slightly smaller, the defensive machine guns on the tank will also fire hundreds of bullets in an instant to destroy them. In the early days, in order to supplement the T-34's close-range defense capability, Su Dao directly dismantled the machine gun equipped with the original car, and at the same time equipped the MG34 to the tank, with the ability of the MG34, nearly 100 rounds of ammunition are only a few seconds.

Each tank was followed by at least one squad of infantry, and when the tank escorted them safely to the foot of the city wall, the infantry behind them frantically swarmed up and encircled and suppressed the troops in various locations in squads. The previous shelling had opened a huge gap in many of the positions, and now all they needed to do was to widen the gap indefinitely.

As for whether or not you can eliminate those Yue army, it doesn't matter, as long as there are hundreds of tanks in the city to make trouble, the Yue army will not be able to eliminate the soldiers behind the tanks, and soon, the second echelon of infantry will directly follow, forming a ** offensive, and in the end there will be more and more Chinese troops in the city, and the resistance of the Yue army will naturally become smaller and smaller.

The battle in Jining was not as fierce as imagined, although the resistance of the Yue army was always there, but it was only a small scale, often found that the Yue army hid in the house to sneak attack the Chinese army, they would first confirm whether there were Chinese people in the house, if not, directly a mortar shell sent over, if there was, they would call a tank, directly break through the house, the infantry then followed to shoot the Yue army.

The battle in Jining only took about five hours to completely end, for no other reason, these soldiers have more or less experienced several big battles, first adapted to the tactics of the 99th Army, so that the cooperation between the troops is becoming more and more tacit, and it can even be said that the tactical quality of the soldiers is changing rapidly, the previous Fifth Division and the Isogu Division are relatively high-ranking horse pulling divisions.

Even those horse-pulling divisions have been cleaned up, can't they still clean up these lower-level military divisions?
