With the passage of time, the 6th Army and other units of the 19th Army gradually entered the designated positions, and everyone began to prepare for battle in an orderly manner.

Quite a few people already know that in a few hours, a massive shelling will begin.

"Battalion commander! I heard that this time it was a concentration of all the heavy artillery, and a large-scale artillery bombardment was carried out on the position of the little devils opposite, and even in the city of Asakusa in the distance, in this case, the little devils would be unlucky, and the little Japan in the city of Asakusa City was afraid that it would also suffer. ”

A captain company commander, with an eager face, was checking the news with his battalion commander.

"Shh The battalion commander whispered: "Company commander, don't make a noise, this time we are hitting little devils, if our heavy artillery group hits the civilians of small Japan, it is definitely a mistake, understand?" ”

Seeing his battalion commander say this, the captain and company commander immediately gave a "I understand" look and smiled tacitly.

After laughing, the captain company commander held the telescope again, and continued to observe the position of the little devil less than a thousand meters in front of him, thinking in his heart, there will be a large-scale artillery bombardment later, and the shelling of hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the two major armies is really exciting.

Although it was not officially announced that there would be a large-scale artillery bombardment of the little devils, there were still a large number of fighters who knew about it, and everyone was looking forward to this rare large-scale shelling.

Hours had passed, and it was getting dark.

In the distance, in the small Japanese city, the lights of the stars appeared. The little devils stationed in Asakusa City have long been like a great enemy, and they have been nervous and restless.

At night.

In the city of Asakusa, the headquarters of the Little Devil Division.

The commander of the Little Devil Division is convening a meeting of a group of Little Devil officers to discuss the military situation, and the Chinese army has been there for a long time, but the Chinese army has not moved for a long time, which makes the Little Devil Division puzzled.

The commander of the Little Devil Division couldn't figure it out, so he began to convene a meeting of a group of Little Devil officers to discuss possible actions taken by the Chinese army.

The meeting of the little devils has been going on for a long time. But. The little devil officers have been holding their own opinions and arguing endlessly, and none of them have come to fruition.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! I still insist on my point of view, the Chinese army should be on the one hand waiting for the follow-up troops. On the one hand, preparations are being made for a large-scale offensive. We can't afford to be on guard. ”

A little devil major general. It may be the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, who seems to be more stubborn, and has just quarreled with another Little Devil officer. But I still don't change my opinion.

Seeing this, another little devil major general immediately stood up and insisted: "Your Excellency, division commander, the Chinese army may shell us, you know, the Chinese army has a lot of heavy artillery. ”

A little devil next to him, Dazuo, sneered: "Your Excellency, Major General! If the Chinese army were going to shell us, would they have waited so long? ”

Next to him, many little devil officers agreed with the little devil Dazuo's point of view, if the Chinese army really wanted to shell itself, it would not be possible to wait so long, and the Chinese army began to be discovered at noon, and now it is night.

Little devils never thought that the Chinese army would carry out an artillery bombardment of an unprecedented scale, with more than 500 heavy guns, shelling the positions of the little devils, as well as the entire city of Asakusa.

The commander of the little devil's division also agreed with the little devil Dazuo's point of view, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.

And the little devil major general, seeing that the little devil Dazuo openly contradicted himself at the meeting, couldn't help but turn pale, if it weren't for his own division commander who also agreed with this point of view, the little devil major general was only afraid that he would be furious.

The meeting of the little devils lasted for more than an hour, and there was no result, and the little devil officers still insisted on several different views.

*******

While the little devils were arguing, the warriors were already ready.

The 6th Army and the 19th Army seemed to have no movement, and looked very quiet, but the soldiers had already made preparations and were now resting and recuperating.

The little devils on the opposite side gradually relaxed their vigilance, and the little devils were still nervous at first, but seeing that the Chinese army had not moved, and there was no even a tentative attack, the little devils gradually relaxed.

The clock was already in the second half of the night.

Many of the little devils even dozed off, and many of the little devils in the city also entered the dream fragrance, and the lights in the city gradually went out, and the little Japanese in the city also fell asleep.

It was as if the whole city was asleep, silent.

It was nearly four o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it is the time when people are most sleepy, that is, the little devils who are on guard on the battlefield, many of them can barely open their eyes.

The fighters, on the other hand, looked in good spirits, and they knew that their heavy artillery group was about to start shelling.

Long before dark, the heavy artillery groups were ready for shelling, but in order to surprise and give the little devil a fatal blow in his sleep, Chu Tianming set the time at four o'clock in the morning.

Although it was already the second half of the night, Chu Tian was obviously energetic and did not feel sleepy, not only Chu Tianming, but almost all the officers and soldiers of the 6th Group Army.

Before dark, Chu Tianming still transmitted the official order to all participating troops, and to all regiments, battalions, companies, and even platoons.

Chu Tianming stood on a small high ground, only a small high ground of twenty or thirty meters, although the high ground was not high, but, because of the plains all around, the view was still very good.

Although it was night, you could still see sporadic lights in the distance, and it was about two or three kilometers away from the position of the little devil in front of you, and the location was also very suitable.

This place as an observation point, it couldn't be more suitable, Chu Tianming wanted to see this large-scale shelling in person, hundreds of heavy artillery shelled together, it was very difficult to see, even Chu Tianming did not let go, wanted to "appreciate" it.

Beside Chu Tianming, there were many commanders at all levels of the 6th Group Army, in addition, there were also many guards, and not far from the high ground, there were also some armored command vehicles, off-road vehicles, and so on.

These commanders at all levels of the Sixth Army were also in high spirits, and they did not expect that their commanders would be so bold and indiscriminate to bombard the little devils and little Japan.

"Commander! Our shelling is about to begin, what a wait! ”

"Yes! Commander, are you really going to shoot all our shells this time? ”

Chu Tianming nodded, "This is the northern gateway to Tokyo, if we break through here, we will be able to drive straight into Tokyo, what are we doing with so many shells?"

After speaking, Chu Tianming laughed, as if he saw that the Asakusa city on the opposite side and the little devil's position were bombed into ruins.

Seeing Chu Tianming laughing, everyone also laughed happily.

"Commander! With so many shells, our artillery was afraid that it would take more than an hour to fight. ”

Of course, Chu Tianming knew that the shelling would definitely take more than an hour, and when the shelling was over, the sky should be just slightly bright, and everyone could launch a general attack at dawn.

Chu Tianming looked at his watch, and in a few minutes it would be 4 o'clock in the morning, and the shelling of the major heavy artillery groups was about to begin.

Chu Tianming's mood, at this time, was also slightly excited.

********

Opposite side.

The position of the little devils is quiet, and most of the little devils are sleepy, even the little devils who patrol and guard are also listless.

A little devil Dazuo, seeing that the Chinese army on the opposite side has not moved, the little devil Dazuo has always felt faintly uneasy, and he can't sleep steadily, so he simply left the command headquarters, and began to check his position under the support of several little devil officers.

However, the little devil Dazuo saw the situation on his position, and he was even more upset, the position was quiet, and most of the little devils were sleeping in the trenches or in the fortifications.

"Yaga! Get up for me!! ”

The little ghost Dazuo kicked a few times, and a little devil who was sleeping was excited, and immediately got up in a panic, and saw his own captain of the Dazuo Wing, as well as several officers at all levels of the little devil, the little devil hurriedly stood upright, saluted, and said a little frightened: "Hello Your Excellency!" ”

The little ghost Dazuo slapped the little devil hard, and a crisp sound of "pop" sounded, and it was heard far away in this silent night.

The little devil who was beaten did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, but bent down to salute and said respectfully and loudly: "Hi! ”

At least twenty or thirty people were awakened by the sleeping imps around, and when the little devils woke up, they saw that their wing captain was coming, and they were so frightened that they stood up straight.

The little devil Dazuo was obviously still angry, and walked up to the little devils who stood up straight in a few steps, and slapped them a few times, and the cheeks of several little devils were swollen to the ground.

"Yaga! This is the battlefield, you actually slept so soundly, what if the Chinese army launched a surprise attack? ”

A group of little devils, seeing their own co-captain reprimanding sharply, the little devils lowered their heads and didn't dare to come out.

Although this division stationed in Asakusa City is a second-class division, its predecessor was only a supplementary division, and it was only expanded into a second-class division a month ago, and more than half of the recruits who had never been on the battlefield were added in.

Don't look at the scale of this little devil's division, the number has reached 16,000 or 7,000 people, and the equipment seems to be good, equipped with a large number of battle defense guns, but there are less than 5,000 'veterans' of the little devils who have really been on the battlefield and have been soldiers for more than a year.

The captain of the little devil Dazuo vented and was in a slightly better mood, but soon, the little devil Dazuo felt strong uneasiness again.

Suddenly, a little devil officer shouted in horror: "Your Excellency! Look over there!! ”

The little devil Dazuo looked in the direction, only to see the dark sky in the distance, hundreds of streamers looked very beautiful, and soon, the little devil Dazuo also heard a large piercing and sharp whistling sound.
