It's overwhelming

In the headquarters of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Ikeda, the commander of the division, has been giving the military order to completely annihilate Li Shengda's regiment. With a pair of expectant eyes, accompanied by a group of subordinates, he stood at the lookout, staring at the battle-torn battlefield, looking forward to the arrival of miracles and victories. Because, at this moment, the Japanese army, the 63rd Division, which had failed twice in a row, needed a victory too much to boost morale.

As the minutes and seconds passed, I saw that the only reserve in my hand, the strength of an infantry wing, was rapidly pouring into the battlefield in three directions. Just like seeing three swords, it was fiercely inserted into the two wings of the East China Field Army and the back. And the Chinese army, which has completely fallen into its own strategic depth, still does not have the slightest sense of it, and continues to launch a difficult offensive forward. A confident smile rarely appeared on Lieutenant Admiral Ikeda's stiff face....

"Division commander, the two infantry wings of our department have completed the encirclement of the Chinese army, should we launch an attack immediately..."

Accompanied by several sharp signal flare explosions on the battlefield, it indicated that his three roundabout troops had successfully joined forces. The more than 2,000 East China Field Army has been completely reduced to fat meat in its own mouth.

Seeing the excitement on his face, it seemed that the battle exploits in front of him were already within reach. Lieutenant General Ikeda commanded with a confident expression.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, send a signal to the front-line departments immediately. All the troops involved in the battle, concentrate their firepower and immediately launch an attack. In the shortest possible time, the battle will be over, and all Chinese troops in the encirclement will be annihilated," Lieutenant General Ikeda said with a majestic expression, his words full of confidence in the battle.

"Ha Yi ......," the chief of staff said excitedly.

However, the excitement and excitement of the commanders of the Japanese army at all levels seemed to be a little too early. Just after receiving the order, the chief of staff did not have time to get out of the command. A series of piercing shells whistled to the ears of everyone in the command.

In the face of the whistling sound of shells breaking through the air, the Japanese commander who could stand here knew without thinking about it that these shells must have been fired by the Chinese army. So, at the same time, they all set their eyes on the battlefield a kilometer away.

"Boom, boom, boom...", with more than 100 fireballs rising in the air on the position, the huge explosion sound generated by the explosion of the cannonball was also transmitted to the headquarters in a very timely manner...

"It's... Chinese army, Chinese army is not afraid of accidental damage from artillery shells..."Seeing the situation in front of him, the only artillery staff officer in the command headquarters stared at a pair of eyes and exclaimed with an incredible face....

In the eyes of this Japanese artillery staff officer, even the elite Japanese artillery did not dare to open fire when the two armies were so close without the accurate measurement of the artillery personnel as a premise of the shelling data. As for the Chinese army at present, even if the equipment of the troops has undergone earth-shaking changes, it is impossible to form a cooperative combat capability between infantry and artillery in a short period of time.

More importantly, it is necessary to make more than 100 artillery pieces at the same time, so that the shells are so accurate. It was necessary to have a large number of artillery scouts and radio stations equipped among the infantry, and constantly through the radio, direct the rear artillery to change the position of the shelling. And the Chinese army in front of it, is it possible that it has such advanced command tactics......

Obviously, this is an impossible thing for both the artillery staff officer and Lieutenant General Ikeda himself. However, with round after round of shells exploding on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield slowly unfolded in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone who was stunned had to believe it. I have to admit that my old rival, the Chinese army, is far beyond its own troops, both in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, and even in various advanced command tactics. ..., "Division commander, the artillery fire of the Chinese army is so sharp that it has completely separated the enemy and our armies. According to the latest information from the front, in the face of artillery fire from the Chinese army, our troops located on the left and right flanks and in the rear were simply unable to attack. The troops asked for instructions on whether to change the combat order...."The chief of staff, who had just finished delivering the order, said with an anxious expression.

For a while, the atmosphere of the entire command headquarters immediately became solemn because of the sudden changes on the battlefield.

However, it is the so-called taking advantage of your illness to kill you. Just when the surrounding Japanese troops were at a loss in the face of the artillery fire in front of them. A large group of bombers appeared in the sky over the battlefield.

Before the people in the command could react from their shock. Twelve bombers, like wolves asking about the smell of blood, began to drop bombs in their bellies one after another, blocking the position of Li Shengda's regiment, where the length of the Japanese army was less than 500 meters, and the depth was only less than 200 meters....

"Baga, we have been fooled...."Seeing that in an instant, the only infantry brigade that was blocking the front of the East China Field Army was shrouded in flames. Lieutenant General Ikeda, a battle-hardened veteran, only recovered from the shock. The premeditation that he thought was seamless happened to fall into the hands of the East China Field Army.

However, it seems that it is too late to discover the conspiracy of this conspiracy at this moment.

"Division commander, what should we do next...."At the same moment, a group of subordinates led by the chief of staff also seemed to understand the intentions of the Chinese army. They all cast their eyes on Lieutenant General Ikeda in front of them, waiting for Lieutenant General Ikeda's latest order....

"The Imperial Army soldiers from three directions could not attack the Chinese army, and our premeditation meant that it was completely frustrated. Since this is the case, then our 63rd Division will only have one strategic goal left, desperately holding its position and blocking the offensive pace of the Chinese army. ”

"Order, detour back to the reserves on both flanks and rear of the Chinese army, immediately retreat, and return to the 6th Infantry Brigade. In any case, we must block the next round of the Chinese army's offensive and immediately deliver the order...."Lieutenant General Ikeda ordered with a murderous expression.

"Hayi...."

Lieutenant General Ikeda's orders are one thing, and it is quite another to actually carry them out. The three infantry brigades evenly scattered across the battlefield were like beans scattered out. It is simply not possible to assemble and retreat in a short period of time.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and there is another very important reason: Chen Guangrong, commander of the artillery of the East China Field Army, not only promptly dispatched three artillery regiments to cover the troops for a surprise attack after receiving Li Shengda's order. At the same time, two regiments of howitzers like treasures were also drawn, and large-caliber shells weighing dozens of kilograms were constantly poured over the heads of the Japanese troops ....

Thousands of scattered Japanese troops, in the face of the ubiquitous shells, it is even more difficult to complete the assembly than to ascend to the sky.

"Regiment commander, aerial reconnaissance aircraft reported that there were signs of retreat of the Japanese troops on both of our flanks. Most likely, this Japanese army is ready to reinforce the Japanese troops in front of us ....", the chief of staff of the regiment took a telegram and panted for reports.

Once again, I raised the binoculars and looked around, under the constant blows of artillery fire, I could almost call the Japanese troops who could not see an inch. A sneer instantly appeared on Li Shengda's face.

"Reinforcements of the Japanese troops ahead, they don't have time."

"There is no time...."Just when the chief of staff had a questioning look on his face.

The bomber swarm, which had been circling and whistling back and forth overhead for almost ten minutes, had still been bombed. Amid the cheers of the fighters on the ground, he waved his wide wings and disappeared over the slag field ....

Before waiting for the smoke of gunfire on the Japanese positions blocking in front of the 2nd Battalion to dissipate. All the commanders and fighters of the 2nd Battalion, who had already been ready to go, were like a roaring lion, pulling the trigger of the semi-automatic rifle and submachine gun in their hands and firing a dense rain of bullets at the Japanese position that had been blown to the ground. ..., while shouting the slogan of the charge, lined up in the most basic triangular offensive formation, and launched a decisive charge forward...

"It's over, the 63rd Division is over, and the honor that I've worked on the battlefield for half my life is over......" Seeing the Chinese troops that suddenly attacked, Lieutenant General Ikeda's face instantly turned pale, and he said to himself with a trembling face.

Of course, there is still a glimmer of expectation in the hearts of some of the generals about Lieutenant General Ikeda's words.

Even if the bombardment of the Chinese air force was very fierce, an infantry brigade covered by a large number of trenches could not be completely killed. An infantry brigade, even if there is a squadron of troops left, as long as it can hold out for an hour, no, even half an hour, reinforcements will continue to rush to the battlefield. At that time, the crisis of the entire 63rd Division will be invisibly resolved.

However, these generals obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of the 1st Air Division, and also underestimated the combat effectiveness of Li Shengda's regiment....

In the face of heavy aerial bombs of more than two hundred kilograms, even if the Japanese had the cover of trenches. In the face of the huge shock wave generated by the bomb explosion, even if these Japanese soldiers were hiding in a deep bomb shelter, they would be violently shaken... Of course, if you are lucky, there are still remnants of Japanese troops on the Japanese positions at this moment. In the face of the dense rain of bullets fired by the second battalion, apart from being beaten into a hornet's nest, there was almost no room for counterattack.

Under the stunned gaze of the senior officers of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army again, the entire 2nd Battalion, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, quickly plunged into its position. Then, under the cover of intensive firepower, they broke through the strategic depth of 200 meters of their own position in less than 10 minutes, and broke through their own large defensive position.

And an infantry brigade that held its own position, in the face of the surprise attack of the Chinese army, barely organized even a decent counterattack, and was penetrated by the Chinese army...
