Early the next morning, in the mountains and forests about 10 kilometers northwest of Linyi, the troops of the 766th Division began to assemble here and stand by.

Since the actions of the 766 Division were highly classified at this time, the air defense regiment did not stop the air force of the army, and besides, the target of the air force was Linyi, and it took off directly from the aircraft carrier, so it did not pay attention to the troops that were being assembled not far away.

Xu Sansi, dressed in a major uniform, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out one and handed it to another major next to him, took out a box of matches from the other pocket, and lit the cigarette before extinguishing it.

The two took a deep puff of cigarette and enjoyed the best time. A few months ago, Xu Sansi was only a second lieutenant platoon commander, but after this expansion, Xu Sansi, as a soldier of the old third battalion, naturally became a battalion commander. So much so that he hadn't reacted yet, and was directly promoted from platoon commander to battalion commander all of a sudden, which made Xu Sansi feel uncomfortable for a while.

However, fortunately, the military department conducted a unified training for these officers who were promoted by artillery shells, and famous generals from all sides served as instructors to teach them some skills in commanding grass-roots troops.

"I don't know what this battle will become, and whether my brothers can fight it is one thing." The major spoke suddenly, a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, don't worry too much, we are not what we used to be, we have large-caliber artillery support at long distances, machine guns and mortars at close range, and the infantry firepower alone is not our opponent, and we don't have to worry about Xiao Yueben's tanks, which are too far behind us." Xu Sansi didn't feel that he couldn't beat him, and his analysis of the whole thing was reasonable.

"Alas, Lao Yang, I have personally touched our tank, the thickness of the armor, the finger knocking on the bang, is much stronger than Xiao Yueben's, you haven't seen the tank of our tank regiment, the artillery is called a cow, I heard their tank soldiers say that it is an 85 mm tank gun, and my 37 mm tank gun is a grandson at all." Then Xu Sansi said softly, now the matter about the tank regiment is absolutely confidential, and it is strictly forbidden for the soldiers of all departments to spread it nonsense, if it is not for the imminent war now, even Xu Sansi will not dare to talk nonsense.

After the major known as Lao Yang heard Xu Sansi say this, he was stunned at first, and then he was taken aback. Ever since they came here, the movements of the tank regiment have been mysterious, and ordinary people have not seen it at all. Xu Sansi was lucky enough to see it once when he followed the division to the tank regiment.

"Really? When did you kid touch our tanks? Lao Yang was even more surprised, the grandsons of the tank regiment had already regarded the tank as their mother-in-law, and others would loudly reprimand the past at a glance, Xu Sansi actually said that he had touched it, which made it difficult for Lao Yang to accept this fact.

"Hehe, it's all in the past, don't talk about it. No, Xiao Wang of the regiment headquarters is here, and it is estimated that he is about to start acting. The plane in the distance seemed to be flying away again, and the sound of artillery was getting quieter and quieter, it seemed that the army was about to attack, and at this time, Xiao Wang, the communicator of the regiment headquarters, came over with two pieces of paper in his hand.

"Xiao Wang, come on, my brother told you that you have to follow Lao Tzu when the fight starts, and Lao Tzu will ensure that you are safe and sound." Old Yang joked from afar.

Xiao Wang, who was hurrying over, didn't pay attention to Lao Sun's jokes, but Xiao Wang's face did not have a trace of excitement, but a trace of worry.

"It just so happens that the two of you are here, and I will run away again, the regimental seat has just returned from the division headquarters, and the attack will start in ten minutes, and the military seat has given a death order." Xiao Wang handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Lao Yang and Xu Sansi, one each, and spoke.

"What's the matter, Xiao Wang, hurry up and read it to me, I know that Lao Tzu doesn't know many words, and give me so many words, Lao Tzu will be dizzy when he looks at it." Lao Yang held the order in his left hand and covered his head with his right hand. Xu Sansi knew how to read, but the order was a little vague, and he just asked the troops to repel the attack of the Yue army, but listening to Xiao Wang's words later, Xu Sansi didn't understand it a little.

"The order is here, the military seat said, strictly follow the order, and it is not allowed to continue the offensive against the surrendered army." Xiao Wang said in a decent manner, completely in the posture of a leader, and immediately stepped forward, crouched between the two, and said softly: "The military seat said, if you can take prisoners in this battle, don't want to kill those who can be killed." It is said that the army has done a sin in Nanjing for a month and a half, and we must avenge the compatriots who were killed. ”

Xu Sansi and Lao Yang nodded secretly, understanding what Shangfeng meant, they had also heard about Nanjing, and it was naturally the best and what they hoped for the most if they could avenge those compatriots this time.

Five minutes later, the two of them returned to their respective battalions, and now the troops are divided into battalions, each squatting together to rest, and the so-called regrouping is nothing more than standing up and picking up guns.

"The bullet is loaded, when you meet the army, don't leave a mouth alive, go!" Xu Sansi stared at the watch on his wrist, and as soon as the ten minutes were up, he immediately waved his hand and ordered the troops to advance.

After training for a few months, the soldiers who were shouting that they were going to go to the battlefield showed excited expressions on their faces, as if they had seen the demise of the army.

Seeing that the troops showed such a face, their hearts couldn't help but sink suddenly, and they immediately hurriedly called the four company commanders under their command, telling them to pay attention to the emotions of the soldiers, not to underestimate the enemy, and let the squad and platoon commanders strictly observe the soldiers. It is possible to despise the enemy before the war starts, but in war, no matter whether the enemy is strong or weak, there must be only one end for underestimating the enemy, and that is defeat.

'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ’

The artillery regiment, which had already been prepared, immediately sent shells to the artillery positions of the Yue army, and the Yue army was bullying the Chinese defenders that there was no artillery, but they did not care at all whether their artillery positions would be leaked, and they did not make any camouflage when they fired the artillery before.

So much so that the 99th Army was able to quickly lock on the artillery position of the Japanese army, and through follow-up observation, the specific location of the artillery position of the Japanese army was marked on the map. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese artillery in these years is not like that of later generations, and the combat quality of the artillery is still extremely good today.

As for not being able to defeat Yue himself, it was because of the caliber and quantity of artillery, and the supply of artillery shells was too far from the army, so it caused the embarrassment that the Chinese artillery could not fight the army, and would even be directly wiped out by the army. But now they don't have to worry about this, the artillery equipped in the division is simply not comparable with the 105 howitzers and 155 heavy artillery of the 99th Army, and the Eastern Front (the 766th Division is the Eastern Front, and the 767th and 768th Divisions are the Western Front. Thirty 105-mm howitzers and twenty 155-mm heavy guns.

It can even be said without hesitation that just one of these 50 artillery pieces can clear an artillery position. In the face of artillery of these two calibers, any bunker is useless. Why is artillery called the god of war? Especially large-caliber artillery? Not because of how many people a shell can directly kill in the past, but how many people a shell can kill within a certain range in the past.

Even if you hide in an anti-artillery hole and the shrenchnel of the shell does not hit you, as long as you are within a certain range, the vibration of the shell is enough to shatter the enemy's internal organs.

The fighting army all the way was full of excitement and launched a charge, but before he ran two steps, he heard a bigger cannon sound coming from behind him, and many of the soldiers turned their heads to look behind.

And the defenders in Linyi City have also been completely defeated, there are troops everywhere near Linyi, there are no large-scale troops around, and looking at the scale of the previous shelling, at least it must be troops above the army level to do it, could it be that I am infighting? Blow up your own artillery positions yourself?
