Chapter 650: Changing the Battle Plan (Ask for Subscription!) ）

Immediately, as the temporary commander of the two divisions, Lieutenant General Lotte immediately nodded and ordered: "Nakajima-kun, since this is the case, then we will strictly implement the order given to us by the former enemy headquarters, His Excellency the Chief of Staff." At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will attack on time to attack the Mengshan base area of the Eighth Route Army, and completely destroy it in three days..."

After speaking, Lieutenant General Lotte turned to the chief of staff beside him and ordered: "Now I order, the troops will have breakfast on time at seven o'clock." After that, immediately replenish the bullet yào. At eight o'clock, except for the baggage wings belonging to the two divisions, they stayed in Baishan County and garrisoned Baishan County. The rest of the troops immediately made a sortie and attacked the Mengshan base area. The cavalry wing to which our 132nd Division belongs, as the forward unit of the entire unit, set off half an hour ahead of schedule to reconnoitre... ”

"Hay, Your Excellency Division Commander, I'll go and deliver the order right away..."The Chief of Staff replied with a nod of his head.

And at this moment, in a dense forest four kilometers away from Baishan County. With the efforts of several hundred artillery crews. The three-mén 150 mm caliber heavy howitzer has already raised its black muzzle and aimed at the county town of Baishan, which is already crowded with Japanese soldiers at this moment.

And beside these three mén large-caliber howitzers, dozens of artillerymen were waiting solemnly, waiting for the regiment commander Li Guanghui to give a specific order to attack. At the same time, shells weighing dozens of kilograms and polished were neatly placed directly behind the artillery...

"Regiment commander, according to the scout's report, the strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army, except for about 20,000 infantry, sappers and cavalry, all the artillery and baggage troops of the Japanese army are stationed in the city. At the same time, the headquarters of the two divisions of the Japanese army were all set up in the center of the county seat. With the armament of a company of large-caliber howitzers, plus several dozen rounds of large-caliber shells. In exchange for the lives of 20,000 little devils and all heavy weapons. We have made a lot of money on this deal..."Holding a telescope, he was staring at a few kilometers away, the political commissar of the regiment of Baishan County, which was brightly lit, like daytime, said with an excited face.

"Yes, the commander-in-chief will calculate, and buried tens of thousands of catties of fried yào under the feet of the little devil in advance. Otherwise, I can't believe that I can use such a small price in exchange for the result of the annihilation of a division of the Japanese army. Chief of Staff, it's about to dawn, is the artillery company ready? The head of the regiment, Li Guanghui, said with emotion.

"Report to the regimental commander, the first company of the howitzer battalion has been prepared, and the three mén artillery pieces have been set to attack Zhuyuan, and they can fire shells to the city of Baishan County at any time..."The chief of staff replied affirmatively.

"Okay, very good, order a company, in the shortest possible time, give me all one hundred and twenty shells into the city of Baishan County. Then, blow up all the artillery and immediately withdraw from the position. Now I order, the shelling begins...", the regiment commander Li Guanghui ordered with a decisive face.

"Yes, Commander," replied the Chief of Staff in a loud voice.

In the blink of an eye, three loud roars sounded in the dense forest behind several people. Immediately after, three sharp whistling sounds reached everyone's ears. The first round of three shells from the artillery company, with a huge whistling sound, quickly crossed the dense forest where everyone was, and smashed towards the brightly lit Baishan County a few kilometers away....

"Boom, boom..." Three huge explosions sounded in the middle of Baishan County. Immediately after, three huge fireballs rose into the air in the very center of the county seat. The screams of the soldiers, the wails of terror, the shouts of the officers immediately began to sound in the county ...

The little devil in his sleep, in the face of the sudden shelling, immediately fell into chaos after a short period of shock. Countless devil soldiers, who didn't even have time to put on their military uniforms, rushed into the cold streets with their weapons in their hands, preparing to flee outside Baishan County, escaping from this area that had been completely covered by artillery fire.

However, at this moment, they seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, there are more than 20,000 soldiers stationed in the entire Baishan County. What kind of scene will it be for more than 20,000 soldiers to rush to the narrow streets at the same time....There is only one result, and that is to fall into infinite chaos...

Of course, it is understandable that ordinary infantry, in the face of heavy artillery blows, wanted to evacuate the shelled area at the first time, and finally fell into chaos. And the two artillery wings of the Japanese army, which had undergone rigorous training, had more than 6,000 artillerymen. In the face of sudden artillery fire, there was no confusion. , but under the command of commanders at all levels, the soldiers were divided into two routes: one was the soldier on the spot, quickly erected artillery, and prepared for artillery counterattack. As for the soldiers on the other road, this is based on the trajectory of the shells, at the first time, the specific location of the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army was calculated, and the artillery counterattack was prepared ...

However, just when a Japanese heavy artillery brigade, the 12mén heavy howitzer, raised its own black muzzle at the command of the commander, ready to counterattack. Almost five minutes have passed since the first round of shells exploded.

Five minutes was enough time for the soldiers of the first company to use the three mén artillery in their hands to accurately enter the overcrowded county town of Baishan with almost sixty rounds of shells.

Sixty large-caliber heavy artillery shells were all concentrated in the soil of less than one square kilometer in the center of Baishan County, and their power can be imagined.

Just when sixty shells exploded one after another, all the buildings were razed to the ground in the middle of Baishan County, which was completely covered by artillery fire. As for the hundreds of devil soldiers in the area, at this moment, not even a complete corpse can be seen. What's more, in this area, several large craters with a depth of several meters have been blown out by flying shells.

The engineer battalion, which took two days of hard work and planted more than 10,000 catties of fire in the center of the county seat, has slowly been revealed in front of everyone as the shelling continues. Finally, with another large-caliber shell, it once again accurately fell into a large crater several meters deep. There was only a layer of soil less than a meter thick in the middle, and finally it couldn't withstand such a huge blow and was quickly detonated...

"Boom, boom...", the sound of an explosion that shook the mountains and quickly overshadowed the explosion of the shells, and reached the ears of everyone within a radius of several kilometers. And at the same time as the explosion sounded, a huge fireball, like a mushroom cloud, rose in the middle of the county, and stood high in the center of Baishan County...

Of course, the simultaneous reaction of the explosion is the 'earthquake'. More than 10,000 catties exploded at the same time, although its lethality was not as good as that of a small atomic bomb in later generations. However, it is still more than enough to destroy a county town in Baishan, which is not even a medium-sized city.

An explosion sounded with the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. The gas produced by the explosion of more than 10,000 catties of explosions is like a circle of powerful waves, centered on the explosion point, and quickly spreads and spreads to the surroundings. As for the seemingly impregnable houses that stood in the way along the way, in front of the powerful Qi Làng, they were like toys, which were easily torn apart and turned into a pile of rubble.

As for the tents set up by the Japanese army in the streets and alleys, it couldn't be simpler. Directly under the push of the huge qi làng, he was thrown high into the sky.

And the panicked devil soldiers in Baishan County faced the explosion sound of the earth shaking around them. Those who were lucky enough were directly shocked by the shock wave generated by the explosion and bled into a corpse in a terrible state of death. Or a collapsed house, crushed directly into the rubble, and then smashed into a ròu cake. However, these little devils who were smashed into ròu cakes were lucky, because after they died in battle, they would not be abandoned in the scorching sun like the others.

Of course, there are those who are lucky and those who are unlucky. More than 10,000 catties of various explosions, its explosive power, needless to say, everyone knows. With the explosion of the bomb, it was buried above the bomb, and the soil layer and stones that were several meters deep were thrown into the air. Then, like rain, it smashed heavily on the Japanese soldiers in the streets and alleys.

Faced with all kinds of stones and clods that fell from a height of tens of meters, weighing several kilograms, and dense like raindrops. The ghost soldiers have no chance to dodge at all. Either the brain was directly blown up, or it was blown up to the point of blood ròu blur....

And in the county town, all the artillery units that are ready for battle and ready to go. Before a single shell could be fired, a large-caliber cannon with its muzzle held high fell to the ground under the push of a huge gas. Then, it was buried deep in the ground. As for the thousands of artillery personnel in the center of the county, they also did not escape the end of the annihilation of the whole army....

An hour later, the smoke and dust from the explosion finally dissipated. At this moment, a trace of light has appeared in the sky.

Outside Baishan County, there were almost a division of Japanese soldiers. At this moment, they are all holding their heads high and looking at this moment, although the city wall is intact, but the city wall has become a hellish Baishan County. I want to know what happened to the explosion an hour ago. What kind of situation is it in Baishan County at this moment. ,

Of course, the commanders of the Japanese army stationed outside the city, although they did not publicize what was happening inside the city. However, in their hearts, through the reconnaissance of the scouts, it is very clear what kind of major event has happened in Baishan County. And if this major event is publicized without any accidents, it will definitely deal a huge blow to the morale of his subordinates.

As the smoke and dust shrouded in the sky over Baishan County slowly dispersed, the sky had slowly brightened. The commanders of the Japanese army at all levels, who thought that there would be no more ambushes, immediately issued an order to send troops to reconnoiter the specific situation.

A group of reconnaissance troops, under the orders of commanders at all levels, quickly attacked, and rushed towards the silent Baishan County at this moment...

However, when they climbed over the city wall, the scene in Baishan County was in full view. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them... As far as the eye can see, before the explosion, the county town of Baishan was still neat, but at this moment, it has become a ruin, and there is not even a trace of the ruins of the houses.

What shocked everyone even more was that it was right in the middle of the entire county. A large pit with a radius of hundreds of meters and a depth of dozens of meters appeared in everyone's eyes. Seeing the scene in front of them, these Japanese soldiers who believed in the gods knelt on the city wall almost at the same time.

Because, in the eyes of these ordinary soldiers, being able to create such a huge crater in an instant is almost not something that human beings can do except for the gods. Everyone, on their knees, began to speak incessantly to the big pit in the center. I completely forgot that at this moment, the 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army stationed in Baishan County have disappeared and become history and the past. I forgot even more that in the county, there are countless light and serious wounded, waiting for them to rescue...

However, the ignorance of ordinary soldiers did not affect the judgment of officers at all levels of the Japanese army. After a short observation of the entire county seat, he quickly gave the order to enter the county town to the ignorant soldiers under his subordinates.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, this big pit is not caused by the gods, it is a big pit caused by a large number of explosions. Hurry, herald, report to Your Excellency the Wing Commander immediately, the county has been attacked by a large number of bombings, and my 20,000 troops stationed in Baishan County are uncertain. I request His Excellency the Wing Commander to immediately send troops to reinforce Baishan County and search for and rescue the casualties of our Imperial Japanese Army... Go and deliver the order right away..."

As the heralds quickly rushed down the city wall, commanders at all levels immediately issued orders to their subordinates to enter the city to search and rescue the wounded... However, what disappointed them was that as the soldiers rushed into Baishan County, which had become a ruin, one after another, the tragic scene in front of them also made these battle-hardened soldiers can't help but start vomiting up and down.

Because, the Japanese soldiers who entered the county seat, in addition to the corpses everywhere, were still corpses in their eyes. At this moment, they are like walking into a slaughterhouse, and there are corpses everywhere that are dead and staring at a pair of big eyes, so that these little devils who have entered the city don't even have a place to stay...

In the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army in Shenyang City, the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro and Major General Kuroda, sat opposite each other, fighting on a chessboard, and talking and laughing. Because of their self-confidence, they believed that their forward troops, the strength of the two divisions, would definitely be able to completely destroy the base area of the Eighth Route Army within three days.

However, all the dreams of the Japanese army are destined to be shattered today... Just when the two of them were fighting fiercely on the chessboard. The sound of hurried footsteps reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, a communications staff officer with a panting and panicked face appeared in front of the two.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, Baishan County County Emergency Call. Two hours ago, our vanguard unit was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy losses. The two lieutenant generals, division commanders, including the chief of staff, a total of eight officers of major general and above, were all killed. At present, the entire forward force is commanded by the commander of the 189th Wing, Wing Commander Matsui ...

In an instant, as soon as the words of the communications staff officer fell, in the hands of Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro, a black chess piece immediately fell on the chessboard. After a brief moment of shock, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked with a dull expression.

"Yaga, how is it possible. How could two divisions, with a total strength of 40,000 troops, be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and so many generals were killed. Tell me quickly, what the hell is going on, how could so many troops be attacked by the Eighth Route Army...", "Hai, according to Matsui Daisa's report. Before the Eighth Route Army withdrew from Baishan County, it planted at least 10,000 catties of fried yào in the middle of the county. Just last night, the county seat was shelled by the heavy artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, which detonated the bombing yào... Eventually, the entire county seat of Baishan was razed to the ground. Of the 20,000 troops I stationed in Baishan County, none of them escaped the net, and the whole army was wiped out..."

"What, 20,000 troops annihilated... Yaga..."At this moment, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro could no longer care about his gaffe, and pushed down the chessboard in front of him, and scolded loudly...

"Communications staff officer, how is the situation of my forward troops now?" Facing the anger of Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura in front of him. Major General Kuroda did not hesitate and immediately questioned the communications staff officer in front of him.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Matsui Daisa: The artillery wing, the baggage wing, and the division command organs belonging to the two divisions were all buried in Baishan County. At present, there are still five infantry wings, two engineer wings, and two cavalry wings left in the entire vanguard unit, totaling more than 21,000 troops..."The communications staff officer quickly replied.

"Without the cover of artillery, the strength of our five infantry wings, under the blow of the superior artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, can only be passively beaten....Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it seems that our forward troops have lost the advantage of attacking the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, we thought that we should retreat as soon as the Eighth Route Army completed the encirclement of our army... 0. "Major General Kuroda hurriedly suggested to the side, and Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, who still hadn't reacted from his anger.

"Well, it seems that this is the only way to do it at the moment..."After a short period of thought. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, who really didn't have any choice, could only shake his head helplessly and replied.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff. I will immediately convene the operational staff of the General Staff to draw up a complete retreat plan in the shortest possible time, and Jiāo will review it for you, please rest assured that His Excellency the Chief of Staff" Affirmation from the Chief of Staff, Major General Kuroda replied confidently
