One by one, the shells dragged the orange-red tail flames, fell from the sky, and smashed the Japanese positions!

Boom......

The Japanese positions were built very strongly, but they were not built according to the standards for defending against heavy howitzers, and when the guns came down, there was a large crater with a diameter of 20 meters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese troops within a radius of fifty meters could not see a single living one, and it rained from the sky with severed limbs and broken arms, and the soil was all red.

"Heavy artillery, get down, get down ......"

A Japanese second lieutenant screamed as a shell exploded not far from him, creating a shock wave that threw him out of the trench fortifications.

Falling from a height of more than ten meters, he fell down with fear and unwilling eyes, death!

The feast of death has just begun, wash away the sins of their own creation with the blood of the invaders, and let these sins return to dust and dust!

"Launch!"

A shell needs to be lifted by at least two people, an asbestos glove is wrapped around the crook of the arm, and at the beginning of the battle, the artillerymen take off their coats one by one, and only a single coat remains!

Many people are shirtless, with bulging muscles, revealing a fierce atmosphere!

Bang Dang!

The cannonball was pushed into the chamber, and a strong smoke rushed out, and the blazing breath could roast everyone.

"Ready, put!"

Loading four rounds in one minute, this is already the fastest speed that can be achieved in actual operation, thirty-six guns, nearly a thousand shells in ten minutes!

I am afraid that such a scene is rare on the battlefield in China, just for a 3,000-strong Sakai detachment!

The lion fights the rabbit with all his might!

What Leng Feng wants is to use the firepower advantage that the Japanese army used to bully the Chinese to break their mental defenses, and China is not a place where you can come casually with a small Japanese army.

The shells fell in the trenches, and the Japanese soldiers would disappear into a huge fireball in an instant as long as they were hit by a shell, and everything on the position was torn to pieces in an instant.

"When ordering Xie Zao, the artillery fire is extended, and the barrage is fired!"

"Yes!"

Leng Feng had already driven to the forward position from Juye in the rear, and of course, his position was at least four or five kilometers away from the combat position.

However, with the help of the telescope, he could clearly see the effect of the shelling of the Japanese positions.

Xie Zaoshi, who received Leng Feng's order, immediately ordered the artillery fire to be extended in depth to carry out key clearing strikes on some key fortifications on the Japanese position, such as fortresses and heavy machine gun fire points!

For a time, the entire Juancheng was shaken.

Rumble!

A shell landed not far from Takashi Sakai's headquarters, and a violent explosion sent fireballs into the sky, and the civilian buildings of the headquarters collapsed under the impact of the shock wave of the explosion, and three rooms were buried alive in them.

"Protect the brigade commander evacuate!" The officer on duty shouted.

Five or six Japanese soldiers rushed up, and without saying anything, Takashi Sakai pushed into an armored car, and after the armored car started, it quickly rushed out in one direction.

There was a sea of fire on the Japanese position, and everywhere you could see the dead Japanese soldiers with severed limbs, limbs that were already dead and not dead. Wrap together.

"Attack!" The forward commander, Dai Xu, deputy commander of the new 40 Brigade, gave an order, and the officers and soldiers who had already been ready to attack rushed out of the trenches and pounced on the Japanese position.

The Japanese positions that had been plowed by heavy artillery could no longer be called positions, and when the new 40 officers and men rushed up, they were all shocked by the sight in front of them.

Although they have all experienced a hundred battles and seen blood and cruelty, it is the first time that many people have seen such a tragic scene.

Flesh and blood are hard to resist steel cannonballs.

The disastrous defeat of the national army on the frontal battlefield was not because they did not have a strong will to resist, nor because they did not want to resist Japan, but because the disparity in strength was too great.

The Battle of Songhu, 700,000 to 200,000, the strength was 3.5 times that of the Japanese army, and it was still fighting on its own territory, and in the end it was defeated by people and lost the capital.

"Report!"

"The Japanese army withdrew from the positions of Jishan, Nianzi Chenzhuang, Fengzhuang and other positions, and retreated in the direction of Fenghuang Town!"

"Order the troops, don't give Takashi Sakai time to breathe, catch up and hit hard!" Leng Feng coldly ordered.

"Yes!"

"Master's seat, Chief Xue Boling's telegram."

"Read!"

"Chief of Staff of the Luxi Corps Leng: The Japanese Tufeiyuan Group has sent a cavalry reconnaissance unit to our eastern Henan, and this morning a Japanese army unit suddenly appeared in the area of Neihuang and Pheasant Gang to blow up several sections of the rails of our Longhai Railway, causing the entire transportation of our Longhai Railway to be interrupted, I have ordered the 64th Army General Li Bohao to be on strict alert, strictly guard against the surprise attack of the Japanese army, and closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army to your department, Xue Boling, commander of the First Corps in eastern Henan!"

"Call back to Chief Xue, just say that the Tufeiyuan Group has now been forced to a dead end by me, he will definitely not give up, he is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, he will definitely take advantage of the fire, he must be strictly guarded, and he can't be given any chance." Leng Feng said slowly.

"Yes!"

"Deputy Brigade Commander Xie telegraphed, the Japanese army ...... in Dingtao"

"Tell the old regiment commander that this is Kenji Dohihara's trick to attack the west, don't worry, fight and retreat, and stretch the battle line." Leng Feng ordered.

"It's the same with the Third Army."

"Guoguang, can the new 38th Division be pressed on the whole line?"

"No hurry, wait." Leng Feng waved his hand, Tu Feiyuan had not moved, and the new 38th Division was not in a hurry to press on the whole line, and besides, the troops in his hands were not very sufficient.

Caozhou, 3:40 p.m.

"The commander of the division, General Sakai's telegram for help, they were hit hard by the 1st Division of the Chinese Army, Leng Feng transferred his heavy artillery regiment to the direction of Juancheng, the firepower of the Chinese Army far exceeded them, and the position was captured by them in half an hour." The adjutant finished reading the telegram.

The entire 14th Division was silent, the news was too sudden, the combat effectiveness of the Sakai detachment was not weak, and there was a large amount of ammunition and supplies for supplies.

In the eyes of many, the Sakai detachment could hold out in Juancheng for at least half a month.

"Order Takashi Sakai to shrink the troops, focus on defending Juancheng, the old city, and Dongkou, and if necessary, you can abandon the old city and focus on defending Juancheng and Dongkou." Kenji Dohihara said with a gloomy face.

"Hay!"

"Division commander, don't we send reinforcements?"

"We don't have reinforcements, this battle Sakai-kun must fight by himself, with our current strength, if we divide the troops again, it will be self-defeating." Kenji Dohihara said, "Tell Sakai-kun that as long as he can hold out for a week, he will be a hero of the empire, and I will personally lead the troops to rescue him when the time comes." ”

"Hay!"

Shiji, the new 36th Brigade blocked the position.

Behind him, there was a rumbling cannon sound from the direction of Juancheng, indicating that there was a lively fight over there, and they had been waiting for more than two hours, and the little Japanese reinforcements didn't even see a shadow.

"Grandma, I've been waiting for a long time, and I haven't even seen a single devil hair, you say, is this little devil afraid of our honor and doesn't dare to come?"

"Haha, the little devil also bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, you don't know, we are in Nanjing, and the little devil who killed is a fart. At that time, our regiment commander was just a battalion commander......"

"Yes, company commander, tell us about the glorious history of our regiment commander?"

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"I want to hear, I want to listen, company commander, say it quickly."

"This ......"

"Company commander, I still have a pack of little devil cigarettes hidden here, when I was fighting devils in Shanxian County, I went to hide ...... quietly" A soldier flatteringly handed over a pack of cigarettes.

"Where did you come from, I already knew that your kid hid a pack of cigarettes and didn't hand it in." The company commander snatched it over, and he didn't have anyone to enjoy it alone, so he scattered around, and everyone had a share.

"This little devil's cigarette is good, but it's too light and not strong enough......"

"This Japanese is very strong!"

"Have you tried?"

"I don't."

"Phew!"

"It's really not, those women are really pitiful, I really don't know what they think, I heard that they all came voluntarily, what comfort women, little Japan is really lacking in morality."

"Company commander, let's talk about our regiment commander!"

"Okay, I'll talk about it, let you boys open your eyes, and say that our head is surnamed Zhang, and his name is Tiehan, this word ......"

In the forward command of the third regiment of the new 36 brigade, Zhang Tiehan was promoted all the way up from a grassroots officer, and he was born with a mud leg.

It is not easy for people who have not received professional military education to develop in the army, especially in the regular army, where people who come out of military schools generally have much more room for progress and growth than those who come up from soldiers.

But if you really come up from a soldier step by step, you must be a talented and hard-working person, and almost all of these people are born soldiers.

Zhang Tiehan is not highly educated, when he was a child, he let go of cattle, hit iron, and worked as a railway worker, and later became a soldier, stayed in the 19th Route Army, went to the Central Army, and was captured during the Battle of Songhu.

At that time, there was a shortage of experienced officers in the Honorary First Division, and Zhang Tiehan was the first batch of prisoner of war officers who volunteered to join the Honorary First Division, and he was soon reused by Leng Feng, and was promoted from company commander to battalion commander, and in less than half a year, he was already the commander of the main regiment.

"Commander, we've been here for almost half a day, why haven't the little devil's reinforcements moved at all?"

"Han Liang, you have to be patient." Zhang Tiehan's face was grim, and his eyes were always fixed on the road leading to Caozhou, if the Japanese reinforcements came, they would inevitably take this road.

Of course, this is not the only way, but this one is the closest, and saving soldiers is like fighting fires, and if it is a detour, it will be far.

"It's dark in two hours, will the little devil not come?"

"I can't say for sure."

"Regiment commander, brigade commander call!"

"Brigade, it's me, Zhang Tiehan."

"Commander Zhang, I order you to leave a battalion on the position, and the rest of the troops quickly withdraw from the position."

"Brigadier, what's going on?"

"The division order, tonight night battle Juancheng!" On the other end of the phone, Sun Zhongren's sonorous voice came.

"The little devil's reinforcements?"

"There will be no reinforcements, but we can't be careless, so let you leave a battalion to watch the main road, and you can immediately lead the troops to follow." After Sun Zhongren finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
