Chapter 118: Fierce Battle on the Eastern Front (2)

A heavy artillery battalion deployed outside the city was reimbursed for not firing a single shot, which gave Feng Guozhang a wake-up call. There should be Wehrmacht spies in this city, otherwise how could the artillery positions be knocked out?

In addition to being distressed, Feng Guozhang asked his son-in-law to take the surrendered temporary garrison of the People's Army to collect the claims in the city, and ordered the artillery positions to be transferred to the city, or to be placed in the city. The artillery of the Wehrmacht did not knock out the artillery positions in the city, and Feng Guozhang seemed to see something. While searching in the city, Feng Guozhang ordered an internal self-examination. However, the effect of this self-examination is very poor, and Feng Guozhang is very clear about the situation in Beiyang.

While the 6th Division fought fiercely with Zhang Xun's Division, the 5th and 7th Divisions also fought fiercely with Wu Xiangjiao and Chen Huan's troops on the opposite side. The fierceness of the battle Cheng dù Chapter 118 The fierce battle on the Eastern Front (2) The eagle's debut, no less than the battle in the middle lane. The battle between Lin Huaichuan's troops and Chen Eun's troops unexpectedly became the fiercest battlefield in this battle.

The National Defense Bureau launched a general offensive at six o'clock in the morning, and the newly formed Ninth Division was based on the Forty Associations of the original Twenty Towns. Northeast soldiers are the majority. After Chen Eun took office, he was bent on expressing himself, and he paid close attention to training. This new editor is all Japanese weapons, and Chen Eun, who has always been known for knowing soldiers, has done a lot of preparation work in advance.

The first wave of attacks launched by Lin Huaichuan's division was met with stubborn resistance from the opponent.

As soon as the shelling ended, Chen Huan led his guards to the front line, less than 500 meters away from the front-line position, and personally supervised the battle. Chen Eun knew very well that if this battle was defeated, it would be difficult to have a similar opportunity to lead troops in the future.

For all the troops equipped with Japanese weapons, Chen Huan is still very confident. Don't look at the new editor. The machine guns and mountain guns were all newly purchased. Chen Eun, who was studying in Japan, studied the previous combat patterns of the Wehrmacht before the war and summed up some experience. In this battle, the fortifications of the 9th Division were strong, and the trenches were dug to the standard. In addition, the heavy artillery was mainly concentrated in the middle lane, and Chen Huan's side was mainly bombarded by 75 mountain artillery.

Chen Huan predicted the attack of the Wehrmacht, and in Chapter 118 The Fierce Battle on the Eastern Front (2) The Eagle's debut allowed the second-line troops to launch a counter-charge as soon as possible. It can be said that this arrangement is timely. By the time one of the reinforced battalions rushed to the front-line positions, the Wehrmacht commandos had already rushed to the front-line positions. There were no brakes in both strokes, and they collided together in the most brutal white-knuckle battle. The speed at which the Wehrmacht advanced was so fast. scared Chen Eun a lot. The position on the front line was the strength of two battalions, with horns on the left and right. I didn't think that it had only been less than an hour before the opponent rushed to the position. The position of more than a thousand good people.

Timely reinforcements worked, and the greenskins gradually became unable to support it and retreated. Chen Eun ordered the results of the battle to be counted, and when the approximate results came out, Chen Eun felt that the roots of his teeth were hurting. In the past hour, half of the strength of the two battalions had been lost. Most of them suffered losses in white-knuckle battles, and this result frightened Chen Eun. The stabbing technique of the Beiyang Army, which was taught by the Japanese, fought white-knuckle combat against the People's Army. That's a lot of confidence. I didn't expect this to be the result.

Another discovery was that at a distance of two hundred meters, the machine guns of the greenskins on the opposite side caused great damage. Especially the kind of light machine gun, which can bite people every time it fires, and the green-skinned marksmanship is generally not bad. The reason for the result of being rushed to the position by the green skins. There is another reason, that is, a lot of grassroots officers have been killed. Without officers, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers naturally decreased. This discovery made Chen Eun feel that it was necessary to pay attention to it, and immediately issued an order, all officers took off their conspicuous officer uniforms and changed into ordinary military uniforms. At the same time, he asked people to send a letter to Feng Guozhang. Inform these findings.

Don't look at it as an auxiliary war, but Lin Huaichuan is the main attacker. In fact, Li Yifeng also has a virtue on his side, and he has a mentality of "the one who enters the customs first is the king", and he entered Xuzhou first to show his ability.

The first wave of charges was beaten into a stalemate, and then retreated, and Lin Huaichuan, who was watching the battle, was taken aback. couldn't stay in the command center, and scolded: "! He put on his helmet and rushed out, and the chief of staff wanted to stop him, but he was pushed away and said, "You stay here and sit in the town, and I'll go to the front to have a look." ”

Lin Huaichuan rushed to the front line, and only after understanding the situation did he know that the Beiyang Army on the opposite side was unexpectedly desperate, and the first wave of attacks obviously broke into the first-line position, but the Beiyang Army was called back with a counterattack that seemed to be very prepared.

Fortunately, the casualties of the troops were not large, that is, no more than 100 people were killed or wounded. The first attack was not for nothing, the mortars knocked out two of the opponent's machine-gun fire, and the snipers achieved no small results. Judging from the situation of the battle, the casualties on the opposite side were greater.

When Lin Huaichuan came to the front line in person, Li Yifeng couldn't stay in the command center. These division commanders of the Wehrmacht have this problem, and they like to run to the front line when they start a war, which probably has something to do with the fact that many recruits in the early days of the Wehrmacht were recruited, especially in the Jinghan Line Campaign, the officers had to press forward, otherwise they were worried that the troops would not be able to withstand it.

Wu Xiangjiao opposite Li Yifeng is not a vegetarian, this guy has suffered a loss, Li Yifeng's old opponent. The preparations before the war were also sufficient, but Wu Xiangjiao was slightly lacking in ability, and did not launch a timely counterattack like Chen Eun, and the front-line position was defeated.

In the general headquarters in Xuzhou City, Feng Guozhang kept receiving bad news. Originally, Zhang Xun put 20 battalions outside the city on the middle battlefield with the strongest defense, but the result was that the people were dizzy, and the heavy artillery battalion allocated to him was reimbursed, and Zhang Xun's 20 battalion leaders lost more than half of them in the morning battle.

A ragtag army is a ragtag army, and in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Wehrmacht, the panic of Zhang Xun's subordinates was particularly obvious. Most of the casualties were caused by artillery fire. The only good news came from Chen Eun, and miraculously a piece of the position was not lost. However, only two hours after the battle began with the preparation of artillery fire, Chen Yan lost six or seven hundred men, and the report was that the casualties of the Wehrmacht were comparable, and this figure was estimated to be a little discounted.

Feng Guozhang still decided to report and reward Chen Eun, saying that he had played well, and hoped that he would make persistent efforts, and sent someone to send three thousand oceans to Chen Eun as a reward. The progress of the battle situation made Feng Guozhang feel a little shaken about the future victory. The combat effectiveness of the three divisions of the Wehrmacht on the opposite side still exceeded his expectations. In other words, Zhang Xun and Wu Xiangjiao, who lack scruples about their opponents, may also be incompetent. In short, the result was a bit bad, Feng Guozhang said to Zhang Xun, who came to ask for help, if it didn't work, he would retreat into the city, and the green-skinned artillery heavy artillery on the opposite side would not bombard the city.

The biggest loss is still Huyan Aobo in the middle, although the advance is very fast, but it was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Beiyang Army, and the casualties of the troops are less than 300 people, this loss makes Huyan Aobo jump to his feet and scold...... When Huyan Aobo was scolding angrily, Cheng Zhixuan, who was on the artillery position, received a telegram from Zhang Xiaohuai, and Fang Jianxiong said three words on the telegram: brainless. Zhang Xiaohuai was somewhat ashamed of such a telegram.

The three-way offensive did not go well throughout the morning, and the heavy artillery of the Beiyang Army was a great threat. However, the raised hot air balloon could not capture the Beiyang heavy artillery position hidden in the city. Just when Zhang Xiaohuai was embarrassed, Feng Hua came in at the door to ask for battle.

"Report to Chief of General Staff Zhang, Captain Feng Hua of the Aviation Brigade was ordered to report." Feng Hua's expression was stern, but he was very excited in his heart. In this battle, there was nothing to do with the air force, and Feng Hua only got Fang Jianxiong's permission after repeated requests. The air force was allowed to go, and an airstrip was built at the front, and the role of the air force was to find the heavy artillery positions of the Beiyang Army and guide the artillery to knock out the opponent's artillery.

Zhang Xiaohuai was not very optimistic about such things as airplanes, so his attitude was very ordinary, and he simply waved his hand and said, "You go directly to Cheng Zhixuan and ask him if he needs help." ”

It was very simple to be sent out, Feng Hua could see that Zhang Xiaohuai was not very interested in the air team, and after speaking, he stared at the map in a daze, and threw Feng Hua a back. Feng Hua, who was helpless, had no choice but to walk out of the headquarters and drive to the artillery headquarters.

The treatment of the air force can be said to be the first in the Wehrmacht, which makes many people in the Wehrmacht unconvinced. Feng Hua had already noticed this phenomenon, and he had already noticed the white eyes that he usually threw on his body. The worst members of the air force are all second lieutenants, all of them are officers, and they can't be counted on to fight, do you think the army can be convinced?

Cheng Zhixuan is very polite, although she still has some distrust in the air team, she is very confident in Fang Jianxiong's eyesight, so she still has great hopes for the air team.

"Captain Feng, your mission is to find the enemy's heavy artillery position." Cheng Zhixuan spoke very seriously, held Feng Hua's hand and said: "Please, the battle ahead is not going well, the brothers have suffered a lot of casualties, and the infantry has a lot of grievances against the artillery." ”

In fact, Cheng Zhixuan also regretted that when he had a defense map earlier, he failed to kill the opponent's artillery at one time, which was a mistake he made. Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong's call back was quite polite, but it was still difficult for Zhixuan to balance psychologically.

"Please rest assured that Commander Cheng will definitely complete the task." Feng Hua finally found the meaning of the organization, and it felt good to be trusted. I went out and got in the car and rushed to the airstrip, a total of four improved versions of Curtis. After the efforts of Feng Ru and Zhou Yuxiang, the engines and fuselages have undergone some surgeries, and the safety and aircraft performance have improved a lot. With Fang Jianxiong's approval, each plane also carried some gadgets, and a mortar shell was tied to two gasoline bottles.

In the roar of the aircraft engine, the four planes took off one after another and flew towards Xuzhou. The battle continued, and Feng Hua, who appeared for the first time, held back a breath in his heart, and he must make the role of the plane realistic.

The improved aircraft is a two-seater, and there is a person in the back who is responsible for reconnaissance and photography, and the dangerous goods are still placed next to it. The plane that suddenly appeared decisively aroused onlookers, the Wehrmacht was a little better, and many people on the Braided Army were directly stupid, they had never seen this thing.

Some soldiers knelt directly and kowtowed to the plane! rq！！！
