The night was littered with shiny tracer bullets that sliced through the air and whistling sounds, as well as flares that suddenly exploded and emitted a terrifying glow in the night sky.

"Kill!"

The captain, who led the paratroopers to break into the Japanese position, shouted and took the lead in killing the center of the position, and the muzzle of the 'ant' submachine gun in his hand spewed out hot flames.

Under the fierce onslaught of the paratroopers, the Japanese troops on the position were quickly cleared, and several teams of paratroopers also met.

"Hehe, I was still wondering just now, who came up on the little devil all of a sudden, it turned out to be you, this kid. I said I couldn't find you after I landed, so I ran behind me. The captain smiled and punched Wang Yilong in the shoulder.

Wang Yilong touched the back of his head embarrassedly: "Lianza, it turned out to be you." I didn't come to your aid just now, aren't you angry? ”

Captain Qian said nonchalantly, "Come and support me, what are you supporting me?" Are you with me who was crushed by the devil in that dirt depression and ate the dirt? ”

"Okay, let's stop talking about it, let's blow up these cannons quickly. We're going to keep going! The captain waved his hand, ready to be bombed.

"Wait!" Wang Yilong pulled out Captain Qian: "Lianza, it's a pity that this little devil's cannon just exploded." Our airborne division doesn't have any heavy equipment, aren't you from the artillery department? You might as well stay here with a few brothers from the Church, so that you can fire at the positions of the little devils nearby, and second, you can support our brothers! ”

Captain Qian nodded, "Your kid's brain is flexible, okay, I'll stay here, and you take the brothers to continue the assault!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yilong left a radio station for Captain Qian and continued to assault with his brothers.

Just as the airborne division was fighting bloodily outside Dingzhou, the 15th Group Army led by Liu Yecheng also crossed the Yalu River from Dandong and advanced to Dingzhou.

Liu Yecheng stood on the side of the bridge and watched the soldiers ride in trucks, dragging large-caliber artillery behind him and moving forward mightily, there was indescribable joy in his heart.

At this time, Lu Gang, deputy commander of the group army, also rushed over, and smiled at Liu Yecheng from a distance: "Old man, just now the 1st Armored Division came to report that they have arrived in Sinuiju and are attacking the Japanese army in Sinuiju, and it is expected that the passage will be opened within three hours." ”

"Good!" Liu Yecheng said approvingly: "You tell Bai Yingliao that if you can't get through the road for three hours, I will remove him." ”

"Hehe" Lu Gang laughed, "Old man, it's a brigade and a field artillery wing that is holding Sinuiju, if we could take it in three days, we should have snickered." You've only been giving people three hours now, and you're too picky, aren't you? ”

Liu Yecheng also smiled, "He Bai Yingliao has more than 300 tanks, more than 200 combat vehicles and more than 300 armored personnel carriers, if he can't take Sinuiju in three hours, he won't do this division commander." I'm still looking at it for the sake of not being able to attack at night, and if I had given him two hours at most during the day. ”

Liu Yecheng, who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in Soviet Russia, entered the Wehrmacht and felt that the large corps combat he had learned before finally had a place to use. At present, the 300,000 troops of the 15 th Group Army are strong and strong, and the armored division, motorized infantry division, and air force are all available.

Lu Gang patted Liu Yecheng on the shoulder, "Okay, old man, let's get in the car too, now Zhang Lingfu's airborne division must be fighting very hard." ”

"Okay, let's go, I'm going to see if that guy who shouts all day long that we're airborne troops and that we should be surrounded by nature will fight."

"Car 308, are you fucking there? The devil's firepower is down there, and I don't mind sending you back to boot camp if you can't get the next shell right. ”

On the road from Sinuiju to Dingzhou, in a 'Northwest Tiger' tank, Cheng Kai saw from the observation scope that his tank fired two shots in a row and failed to hit the target, so he was so angry that he dialed the channel and cursed loudly.

The battle in Sinuiju had been going on for an hour and a half, and the 1st Panzer Division, under the command of division commander Baek Young-riao, had launched three successive attacks on the Japanese positions at both ends of the only road to Jeongju that the Japanese had entrenched. However, the Japanese army relied on the high ground on both sides to take advantage of the terrain and fought to the death and did not retreat, and the Japanese army also moved dozens of Type 95 75-mm field guns to the hillside and bombarded them from top to bottom, and more than a dozen tanks were already hit by the Japanese field guns on the top of the tanks, resulting in the destruction of vehicles and the death of people. However, due to the difficulty of seeing the target at night, although with the help of night vision devices, the direct-aim artillery on the tank alone was still not too good for the Japanese army's concealed and good anti-tank gun positions.

Bai Yingliao, who was in a 63-type command vehicle, immediately dialed the channel of the artillery regiment after learning about the situation, "Artillery regiment, artillery regiment, where have you arrived?" ”

"Report sir, we are still thirteen kilometers away from Sinuiju, and the road conditions here are so bad that the speed of our self-propelled guns can't be raised at all."

"I don't need a reason, if I don't see your shells fall on the Japanese positions in half an hour, I'll withdraw you."

Then Bai Jiying dialed another channel, "Three regiments?" Spread the tanks apart and quickly get the infantry out of their vehicles to assist in the attack. What the? The enemy fire was too fierce, and the infantry got off the car and suffered too many casualties? Let me tell you, Wang Hongyong, if I don't see the infantry get out of the car and attack in formation within three minutes, I will let you personally get off the tank and become an infantryman. ”

With a snap, he put down the microphone, Wang Hongyong unbuttoned the wind and discipline buckle on his collar and thought about it before grabbing the headset again: "Cheng Kai, your battalion immediately occupies the terrain and fires at the infantry positions of the Japanese army to cover the charge of the infantry brothers." ”

Cheng Kai, who received the order, immediately ordered more than 20 'Northwest Tiger' tanks in the battalion to slowly retreat to the bunkers behind, firing at the Japanese infantry positions as they retreated. One after another, high-explosive bombs fell on the Japanese positions, setting up a cloud of dust and fog.

The infantry in the armored vehicles took the opportunity to dismount and charge instead of the tanks, and they quickly approached the Japanese positions with the help of the rugged and hilly terrain on both sides of the road.

The Japanese troops defending on both sides of the road were in a hurry, "Hurry up, hurry up, attack with grenadiers!" ”

The small grenades fired from the "boom" grenadier fell densely into the infantry's attack formation, and soldiers continued to scream and fall.

At this time, the 'Grasshopper' infantry fighting vehicle behind ignored the threat of direct fire from the Japanese Type 95 75-mm field guns, and drove to the front and quickly turned the rapid-fire guns, aiming at the Japanese positions for a burst of bombardment.

"Knock Knock ......"

The 25-mm rapid-fire gun fired very quickly, and the rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute immediately suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese infantry.

"Hurry up and get rid of all those infantry fighting vehicles on the road, or we'll be finished!" Seeing dozens of Chinese infantry fighting vehicles lined up on the road, turning their muzzles and firing at the Japanese machine-gun positions point by point, the Japanese commander Kentaro Miura, who could clearly see it from the concealed command post, was greatly enflamed. These infantry fighting vehicles are not as good as the tanks below in terms of the caliber of their guns, which are only 25 millimeters, but their rate of fire is very fast, and as soon as the guns are fired, a series of shells come in, and most of the Japanese soldiers on the positions die under their guns. In a hurry, he quickly ordered the artillery to turn the muzzle and must destroy these infantry fighting vehicles that posed the greatest threat to the infantry.

The Japanese artillerymen hurriedly turned their guns around and opened fire on the 'grasshopper' chariots on the road.

"Woo" A sharp whistling sound suddenly reached the battlefield, and the soldiers with a little experience on the battlefield immediately threw themselves on the ground, they knew that such a cannon sound could only be produced by large-caliber howitzers, and it was best to lie down quickly if you heard such a whistling sound before you became an invulnerable superman.

"Boom ......" two loud noises came.

Two puffs of black smoke rose from both ends of the road, and the two guns that were busy turning their muzzles were gone.

On the road not far away, two large-caliber self-propelled guns are juxtaposed, which is a (closed) 155-mm self-propelled gun developed by the Chahar Arsenal on the basis of the chassis of the Type 63 armored vehicle.

With the increasing maturity of the theory of lightning operations in the Chinese army and the increasing scale of the armored forces, the armored forces urgently need a large-caliber artillery that can provide artillery support for tanks at any time in wartime. Due to the urgency of time, the engineers of the Huangshi Company came up with the idea of installing a turret on the site of the Type 63 armored vehicle, and after two months of emergency research and development, this 155 mm self-propelled gun was manufactured. After the test, the armament department did not have the bottom of the heart, the first batch of orders were not much, only 80 units, I did not expect that after the troops put this kind of self-propelled artillery with the fight and go, it was very popular with the troops, and finally the armament department gave the Huangshi Ordnance Company an order of 500 units, and the first armored division was also divided into more than 80 units, and today is the day when this self-propelled artillery participated in actual combat for the first time.

"Boom, boom, boom......."

More and more self-propelled artillery came and carried out close shelling of the Japanese positions.
