Chapter 647: Attack! Attack again!! (Ask for a subscription!) ）

At twelve o'clock in the evening, all the combat units, after several hours of mobilization, were all in place and ready for battle.

There are three heavy artillery regiments of the heavy artillery division of the field army, and each field column is directly under the artillery regiment. A total of seven artillery regiments and more than 300 artillery pieces of various calibers, under the command of Chen Guangrong, commander of the heavy artillery division, all raised their black muzzles. He aimed his own goal at the peaceful Japanese Shanhaiguan position a few kilometers away.

In the temporary headquarters of the field army, political commissar Luo Ronghuan also stared intently at the tall and majestic Shanhaiguan not far away, waiting for the arrival of the final attack time. Finally, in Luo Ronghuan's anxious waiting, twelve o'clock in the evening finally arrived.

looked at the not far away, let yourself lose your soldiers, like an iron wall of Shanhaiguan. Thinking of tonight, this Xiongguan will be trampled under his feet. The corners of Luo Ronghuan's mouth immediately showed a confident smile. Then, facing Li Qing, the chief of staff beside him, he ordered loudly.

"Chief of Staff, now I order, the general offensive begins..."

"Yes, commissar !!"

As soon as Luo Ronghuan's words fell, a huge roar began to sound behind the position. Immediately after, a sharp whistling of cannonballs sounded above everyone's heads.

As far as the eye could see, in the night sky, which was still pitch black just now, an orange-red cannonball tail flame immediately appeared. Dense cannonballs, with a loud whizz of breaking through the air. It's like a roaring lion, quickly smashing towards its intended target.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A dense explosion sounded one after another on the Japanese position at Shanhaiguan. Immediately after that, the entire Japanese position was enveloped in a sea of fire created by the explosion of the shells. This evening heralds the official start of the whole decisive battle.

Of course, at this moment, at the same time, in addition to all the artillery units of the field army, there is also a special and always mysterious unit. This unit, which is almost related to whether or not tonight's decisive battle can be successfully completed, also began to act at the same time.

And this small unit is the electronic detachment directly under the field army that has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the repeated wars against Japan. The entire electronic detachment, under the command of the detachment leader Wang Kai, started all the three high-power radios in the detachment. As much as possible, the interference signal was emitted, so that the radio communication equipment of all the Shanhaiguan garrison troops within the signal range was completely ineffective.

At the same time, the reconnaissance detachment of the 1st Special Operations Regiment, which had already penetrated into the rear guard units of the Japanese Shanhaiguan garrison. Dozens of special combat personnel also cut off all the ground communication tools and telephone lines of the Japanese army at the first time.

For a time, such a scene appeared on the Japanese position, which was hit by unprecedented and heavy artillery fire.

After several days of bloody fighting, the devil soldiers, who were already very tired and rarely had some time to rest, were immediately stunned by the fierce artillery fire, and even forgot the tactical action of dodging the shells. What's more, they were already frightened by the artillery fire that they had never suffered before, and fell into chaos.

Of course, such an artillery bombardment, although it will cause huge damage to the entire position. Similarly, for ordinary soldiers, there will be huge casualties. However, in the headquarters, the three division commanders of the Japanese army defending Shanhaiguan did not have any panic. Because they knew that such an artillery bombardment, although very powerful, could not bring fatal damage to the defending troops.

However, the next thing made the three division commanders who were not alarmed fall into a panic.

"Report to the division commanders, our radio has lost its signal. So far, we have lost all radio contact with the outside world? A communications staff officer rushed to the front of the three division commanders with an anxious face and reported loudly.

"What, the radio has no signal ... Oops, it must be radio jamming equipment, the Eighth Route Army must have used their radio jamming equipment... Quickly, immediately contact the various combat units by telephone. We must connect all combat units and the command headquarters as soon as possible, and go immediately..."The division commander, who was the first to react from the shock, hurriedly ordered after a short change of confusion. ,

"Yes, Your Excellency the Division Commander..."

However, to the surprise of the three division commanders, it took less than a few minutes. The communications staff officer, who had just left, once again rushed into the headquarters out of breath and stood in front of the three of them.

"Report to the division commanders, something happened..."

"Nani, what's going on... Tell me quickly, something else happened besides the loss of radio contact. If there's anything, say it all in one breath...", a division commander waved his hand impatiently and said.

"Hello... Liaison between our command and the various combat units. In addition to the total loss of radio contact, all ground communications were also completely cut off. At present, the communications office has sent a large number of communications troops to check the line, but so far, there has been no news...."The communications staff officer replied in a low voice.

"Bastard, how can this be. What happened to the Eight Grid Tooth Road, and why did all the problems appear in front of our Imperial Japanese Army at one time..."A division commander scolded loudly.

"Yokoyama-kun, I think, so many problems: unprecedented heavy shelling, radio outages, telephone outages ... Appearing in front of us all at once is definitely not an ordinary coincidence? Another division commander, Lieutenant General Minoru, said affirmatively.

"Yes, I agree with Minoru-kun, it's definitely not a coincidence. If my guess is correct, the Eighth Route Army must be brewing a huge conspiracy. And the purpose of this huge conspiracy must be to seek to obtain the Shanhai Pass, which is heavily defended by our troops...."Lieutenant General Inoue, the commander of the last lieutenant general's division, said with a look of approval.

Although, worried about his two partners, he nodded his head with a good arrangement. However, he still said confidently.

"I think you two are too worried. Even if the Eighth Route Army brews a conspiracy to fight again, in the face of the powerful strength of our three main divisions, all conspiracies will be useless. I believe that with the strength of our three main divisions and the favorable terrain of Shanhaiguan. We will definitely be able to defuse all the conspiracies of the Eighth Route Army and hold our positions..."

"Well, overall... I agree with Yokoyama-kun's words. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies will be useless..."The remaining two are the regiment commanders, nodding noncommittally. Immediately, the expression on his face changed from panic just now to confidence at this moment.

However, it is when they are confident in their future. Unbeknownst to them, a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy that would stake their lives and deaths, was slowly coming over their heads.

On the starting position of the 1st Special Operations Regiment less than 300 meters away from the Japanese rearguard position. Although, there is a distance of up to 300 meters between the two places. But. The heat waves generated by the explosion of large-caliber howitzer shells continued to hit the soldiers.

Ten minutes of artillery fire was fleeting. However, in ten minutes, nearly 1,000 large-caliber shells of various caliber fell on the Japanese rearguard positions. The Japanese position, which was not very strong, was blown into a mess.

At this moment, as far as the eye can see, the entire position is full of craters with a depth of one meter. As for the corpses of Japanese soldiers, stumps and broken arms, and internal organs, they can be found everywhere. In a word, the entire rearguard position, at this moment, has become a ruin.

As for the infantry wing guarding the position, more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers. Because of their light enemy, in the explosion of more than a thousand shells, they have already paid the price of more than half of the casualties. There were less than fifteen hundred soldiers left, lying on the ground with a sluggish face, not yet reacting from the shock just now.

Seeing that the ten-minute artillery raid was over. The heavy artillery regiment supporting itself had concentrated its firepower and carried out a focused artillery bombardment of the Japanese positions directly in front of them. The corners of the mouth of the commando commander Li Yuanqing immediately showed a sneer, and he ordered loudly to all the regiment and battalion commanders in front of him.

"Now I order, the raid detachment, with the 1st Special Operations Regiment as the lead, followed by the artillery command, to launch an attack on the Japanese rear guard position, the trumpeters, all of them, blow the charge trumpet..."

Li Yuanqing's confident voice sounded on the battlefield. Immediately after, a loud trumpet began to echo on the battlefield... The first special operations regiment of the vanguard unit, with nearly 1,000 special combat members, immediately jumped up from the grass where they were hiding, held all kinds of weapons in their hands, and spewed out one hot tongue of fire after another at the Japanese position, which was already shrouded in a sea of fire a few hundred meters away. ,

"Comrades, rush..."The triangular offensive formation arranged in the shape of three finished characters is like three sharp knives emitting bursts of cold light on the huge battlefield. With an unstoppable momentum, under the cover of dozens of heavy artillery, he quickly rushed to the center of the Japanese rearguard line...

The entire attack, whether it was the attack speed of the Vanguard Special Operations Regiment or the resistance of the Japanese rearguard wing, almost all went smoothly beyond Li Yuanqing's imagination.

After all, after an unprecedented heavy shelling, the Japanese rearguard wing had already lost more than half. In addition, the special operations regiment launched an attack on the spot where the shells landed. The Japanese troops, who gave way to the artillery fire, did not have time to make any reaction before they were shot and killed by the special combat units who rushed in front of them with various weapons.

"Report to the division commander, the 1st Special Operations Regiment reports that the troops have successfully occupied the first line of the Japanese army and are advancing to the second line of the Japanese army...."

"Report to the division commander, the two commanders of the 37th Regiment and the 38th Regiment report that the troops have crossed the front-line positions of the Japanese army and are gradually expanding the breakthrough ...."

"The division commander, the 1st Special Operations Regiment reported that the troops had successfully broken through the Japanese rearguard line. At present, the troops are rapidly advancing towards the Japanese defenders of Shanhaiguan at the speed of rapid marching. Please ask the division commander to immediately send troops to receive all kinds of light and serious casualties generated by the troops' offensive ...."....

One after another, like snowflakes, all floated into Li Yuanqing's hands in less than twenty minutes.

"Division commander, the whole attack is really smooth beyond imagination. In less than twenty minutes, our 1st Special Operations Regiment broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese rearguard wing... Division commander, I think it's time for our headquarters to move forward in the direction of Shanhaiguan with the troops..."Chief of Staff Peng Shilu exclaimed with a shocked look as he looked at the pile of battle reports in his hand.

"Order the division to belong to the engineer company and immediately lay mines on both flanks of the breakthrough to prevent the little devils from counterattacking. The two and three battalions of the 38th Regiment, with the support of the divisional artillery battalion, held the breakthrough. At the same time, the baggage troops were ordered to immediately search and rescue all the lightly and seriously wounded. The 1st Special Operations Regiment, the 37th Regiment, and the 1st Battalion of the 38th Regiment immediately changed their offensive formation. The three-way army, marching in unison, was divided into three directions and quickly launched an attack on the Japanese defenders of Shanhaiguan. The command headquarters should immediately move forward and catch up with the 1st Special Operations Regiment...."While being excited, Li Yuanqing quickly issued a series of orders to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Yes, Commander..."

In the former enemy headquarters of the field army, political commissar Luo Ronghuan was looking intently at Shanhaiguan, which was not far away, which had been completely shrouded in artillery fire. Although at this moment, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan looked calm. However, Li Qing, as the chief of staff of the field army, knew that at this moment, Luo Ronghuan's heart was not calm at all.

Tonight's offensive is not only related to whether or not the main force of the field army can successfully break through the Shanhaiguan defense line. More importantly, it has a bearing on whether the commander outside the border can successfully win the victory of the rice encirclement and suppression operation under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

And it was such a battle that decided the life and death of the field army outside the Guanwai, and at this moment, almost all hope was pinned on the back of the Japanese army, more than 5,000 soldiers. Five thousand fighters, if it is not possible to complete the predetermined battle plan. Then, a week's worth of battles that you have carefully prepared will come to naught. It is almost impossible for the troops to break through the Shanhaiguan defense line in a short time.

However, just when the two of them looked worriedly at Shanhaiguan, which was not far away, which had been completely enveloped in artillery fire, a burst of excited sounds, like a stimulant, were injected into their bodies...

"Political commissar, chief of staff, good news, the telegram just sent by the 13th Division that the troops have successfully broken through the Japanese rearguard line. At present, the troops are rapidly assaulting the troops of the defenders of Shanhaiguan. It is expected that in half an hour, an attack will be launched on the defenders of Shanhaiguan..."

Chief of Staff Li Qing first reacted from the shock and said with an excited face.

"Well, well fought, big is too good, in less than half an hour, with only a disgruntled division, it successfully broke through the position held by a wing of infantry of the Japanese army. It's so good. Commissar, now, our worries can finally be put down...."

"Yes, as long as the 13th Division succeeds in breaking through the Japanese rearguard line, we will be almost halfway successful in tonight's decisive battle. The various units of the field army were ordered to act according to the original plan. At one o'clock in the morning, the guard division launched a full-line attack on the Shanhaiguan defense line on time. Strive to break through the entire Shanhaiguan defense line with one attack with the cooperation of the 13th Division...."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and ordered with a positive face....,

With three integrated regiments, plus various directly subordinate troops, the total strength reached a staggering 10,000 men on the guard division to attack the position. As the minutes and seconds passed, the time for the attack was getting closer and closer.

Looking at all the commanders and fighters of the guard division in front of him, who were fully equipped, and had high morale. The division commander, Bruce Lee, can be said to be full of confidence in the battle that will take place.

"Comrades, for half a month, all the commanders and fighters of our guard division have been staying in the rear, and they can only watch the fraternal troops kill the enemy on the front line, without any way. However, as the so-called good steel is used on the blade, our guard division, as the first-class main division with the largest number of people and the strongest combat effectiveness in the whole army, must not lag behind the brother troops in killing devils..."

"Tonight, whether we can break through the Shanhaiguan defense line heavily defended by the Japanese army in front of us in a battle depends on everyone's efforts. However, what I want to tell you here is that the eyes of hundreds of thousands of commanders and fighters in the whole army are watching us, so we cannot afford to lose this face. Everyone told me that they had the confidence to break through the Japanese Shanhaiguan defense line in one fell swoop through an attack, fight inside the pass, and join forces with the commanders outside the pass...."Bruce Lee's sonorous and powerful voice resounded in the huge sortie position.

"There's... 10,000 commanders and fighters who have long been on the road and are eager to try. Without any hesitation, there was an earth-shattering roar.

"Very well, now I order, the first guard regiment, as the vanguard regiment, your task is to attack, and then attack... Two or three regiments were responsible for covering the attack on both flanks and expanding the breakthrough. The troops directly under the division, under my personal command, as a reserve, mediated ... Now I order, all units, in ten minutes, enter the combat position, fifteen minutes later, when they hear the trumpet of the charge, the troops immediately launch an attack, and play the majesty of our guard division..."Bruce Lee nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he commanded with a confident face.

In the headquarters of the Japanese Shanhaiguan defense line, the rumbling artillery sound constantly sounded at Shanhaiguan, and the headquarters and various combat units lost contact....All problems, without exception, tormented the hearts of the three division commanders. At this moment, the only thought in their minds was when the artillery outside would stop, and the command headquarters would be able to immediately connect with all the combat units.

However, it backfired, and more than half an hour passed. The three lieutenant generals and division commanders did not have any way except to keep pacing in the command headquarters....

Suddenly, while the three of them were frowning, thinking about countermeasures. One kilometer away, the earth-shattering roar of nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters of the guard division overwhelmed the rumbling artillery on the battlefield and reached the ears of the three people very clearly.
