Chapter 702: The general offensive begins
In the early morning of the 14th, the wind was light and the clouds were light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Delin learned from the disadvantages of the scattered use of artillery, and concentrated the entire artillery used to encircle and annihilate the Seya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment, and divided it into two artillery groups, north and south.
The artillery group in the north is dominated by the artillery of the 20th Army Corps, and the running group in the south is composed of two running regiments of the Honor 1st Division, plus an artillery regiment attached to the new 38th Brigade, two artillery regiments directly under the Military Commission, two artillery battalions of the 200th Division, and artillery from other units participating in the encirclement and annihilation.
The southern artillery group had more than 120 guns of large and small calibers, and the northern artillery group was slightly inferior, with about 50 or 60 guns.
Of course, the large-caliber heavy artillery was a little less, but the overall number of artillery was already on par with the encircled Japanese detachment of Seya and Sakamoto, and even slightly exceeded.
And the artillery shells are sufficient, which is the most critical, in comparison, the Japanese artillery shells are not so sufficient, and they need to deal with the attack from the Chinese J team from all directions, so the artillery is inevitably not used separately, and the damage is much smaller!
Six o'clock!
"Sir Li, it's time!"
"Let's go!" In the headquarters, Li Delin gave the order for a general attack.
Boom ......
Shells with the sound of death slammed into the Japanese positions.
After the successive explosions, thick smoke rose from the Japanese position, and the heavy artillery group from the depth barely stopped, and the shells continued to whistle out.
With such a fierce shelling, the Japanese troops on the position were blown up and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and their bones were gone.
"The Chinese have launched the final attack!" Kei Seya stepped out of the low headquarters and looked at the ballistic trajectory flying in the sky, revealing a look of despair.
Sigh!
"Your Excellency, lie down!"
An artillery shell exploded not too far from the Japanese headquarters, and the resulting air wave directly overturned the two trucks, and the Japanese soldiers who were running were thrown into the sky in an instant!
Heavy artillery for the Chinese!
Before this, they already knew that although the intelligence said that the Chinese were not equipped much, this heavy artillery was extremely powerful and had a long range, even farther than the heavy artillery they were equipped.
This leaves the Imperial artillery with no way to take the other side.
However, the Chinese did not have the opportunity to equip this artillery again, because, therefore, this artillery was produced by the allies of the empire, and the empire had already put pressure on the allies.
"Call for air support, quick!" Kei Seya got up from the ground and shouted at his men.
"Hay!"
The entire Japanese position was like porridge boiling in a pot, churning everywhere, shells and bombs constantly set off bursts of fire, dancing and roaring in the heat wave, rolling uncontrollably.
"Little devils, you also have today!"
"This cannon is enjoyable!"
"It's, it's spectacular......"
"Beat him up dog. Mother's little Toyo! ”
On the GJ position, the officers and soldiers saw the ghost crying wolf howl when the Japanese army was bombed, it was called an excitement, didn't this little devil just rely on his own sharp artillery, this time, also have a good taste of the shell dumplings prepared for him!
This time, Li Delin turned out all his family backgrounds, and he must give the Japanese army a ruthless blow, so the artillery preparation took a quarter of an hour.
Five minutes later, artillery fire began to advance in depth to the Japanese positions!
The officers and men of the GJ, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed out of the trenches under the leadership of their respective commanders and slaughtered the Japanese positions, and the shouts of killing rang out all over the mountains.
"Kill!"
Under the guidance of a red flag full of blue sky and white sun, the officers and men of G burst out with 12 points of combat effectiveness, rushing all the way through, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, aimed at the Japanese troops on the position, and swept past.
The defending Japanese troops were already exhausted, and a gap was opened, which was broken in an instant.
The Japanese defensive front was torn into a thousand holes in ten minutes.
"Moxi Moxi, Huangzhuang position lost ......"
"Nani, surrounded, toot ......" apparently the phone line was cut.
“……”
In a hurry, calls for help poured in one after another towards the Japanese headquarters, but Kei Seya sent out all the reserves at hand, and it was not enough.
Southeast of Yi County, Ganlu Temple.
The 1st Division of the 60th Army, which was attacking head-on, suddenly let go of an opening.
Defending this position was a brigade of the Japanese Sakamoto detachment, and the position commander Miki Shaosa, who tried his best to finally repel an attack.
But the loss is still not small, I thought I was relieved, if this Chinese reorganized the attack, it would be ten minutes later.
But just as Miki was about to find a cigarette to smoke, he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by a soldier next to him.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes widened, and the cigarette in his mouth fell unconsciously.
A gray torrent rolled in from the sky, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles in front, and the troops behind, lined up in orderly steps, with no end in sight!
How familiar this formation is, Miki Shaosa stood on the spot like a wood carving.
Doo!
Five hundred meters away from the position, the tanks in the front row began to open fire, the shells fell in the Japanese position, and suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns hit the position with barrages one after another, and the Japanese troops in the fortifications could not raise their heads at all.
The charge began, and the neat formation began to spread out, all over the mountains!
The cold light of the bayonets reflected on the enemy's position, and the Japanese soldiers who had long been at the end of their crossbows showed desperate and fearful eyes.
But seeing this scene, many of them collapsed!
"I'm going home......"
"I want Mommy!"
"Woo ......"
This momentum, that is swallowing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers like a tiger.
"It's ...... them"
Miki Shaozuo was terrified, showing a frightened look, the oncoming Chinese J team, he was too familiar, it was really the Chinese GJ team that fought with them for nine days and nights in Taierzhuang, number: New 38 Brigade.
Didn't this Chinese J team withdraw and rest, their casualties in Taierzhuang were not under the empire, why did they suddenly appear again, and depending on the state and momentum, it was even more than before!
As everyone knows, the new 38 Brigade, which has been replenished, has not only regained its combat effectiveness, but also has stronger troops than before, and its weapons and equipment have also been strengthened, and it has almost been resurrected with full blood.
Originally, Leng Feng had other uses for the new 38th Brigade, but as a result, the battle situation changed, and Leng Feng could only adjust the plan, and some things could only be postponed or abandoned.
This is called immovable like a mountain, and the strategy is like fire.
"Don't retreat, those who are back will die!" Miki Shaosa pulled out his matching gun and fired two shots into the sky, and his red eyes yelled at his subordinates!
The Japanese soldier who ran backwards paused, but only paused, but did not listen to him and continued to run back.
Miki raised his gun and fired a shot at one of the Japanese soldiers who were running backwards!
A shot hit, and the fleeing Japanese soldier was hit by a single shot.
"Runaway, die!"
"Kill!"
The new 38th Brigade broke through the Japanese defense line at Ganlu Temple without much effort, and although Miki Shaosa prevented his subordinates from escaping, he was eventually crushed by the torrent of steel.
Attack on all fronts, further compressing the living space of the Japanese army!
The well-equipped new 38th Brigade, which was not inferior to the Japanese army, had no reservations, and pushed it all the way, and the Japanese Sakamoto detachment deployed in the southeast of Yixian could not stop it at all, and retreated in great strides all the way.
It was only when it was pushed to the vicinity of Qilidian, east of Yi County, that it barely gained a foothold, relying on the terrain and the fortifications built to block the offensive momentum of the new 38th Brigade.
Along the way, the Japanese army lost their armor, although it was said that the besieged Japanese army did not have much money, but there were still a lot of good things, trucks without gas, broken tanks, and many other things, which naturally went into the pockets of the new 38th Brigade.
Sakamoto Shun was also frightened, even if he was surrounded, he was not afraid, it is easy for this Chinese to surround themselves, but if they want to eat themselves, it is not easy to do.
He believed that his soldiers would definitely fight to the end, and the empire was invincible.
However, he was frightened by the new 38th Brigade, this middle GJ team is too fierce, no worse than the Imperial J team, if this is the full force period, he is not afraid, but now his troops are already exhausted!
"The new 38th Brigade is playing well, so our chances of victory are much greater!" Li Delin received a call from Luo Yufeng and was pleasantly surprised, he made the right move.
The new 38th Brigade really lived up to expectations and dealt the most fatal blow to the Japanese army!
"Order Tang Keqin to cut off the Japanese army in Zaozhuang and Yixian areas, and annihilate them separately!"
"Yes!"
Tang Keqin was stimulated by the new 38th Brigade and ordered the 85th Army to storm Zaozhuang, and at the same time ordered an elite army to penetrate to the Dongzhuang line and join the 31st Division of Chi Fengchen of the Second Army of the Southern Army, dividing the two major groups of the Japanese army.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th, the two troops finally converged on the Dongzhuang line, divided and surrounded the Japanese army, and the eastern front hesitated to take over the new 38th Brigade, and Tang Keqin transferred the main force of the 52nd Army to the direction of Zaozhuang to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese Seya detachment!
The 60th Army was divided into two parts, one part cooperated with the Tang Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Seya Detachment, and the other part cooperated with the New 38th Brigade and the Second Army to besiege the Japanese army in Yixian, mainly with part of the Sakamoto Detachment and the Seya Detachment!
Ryosuke Isoya, the commander of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in Fuji Prefecture, who was far away in Fuji Prefecture, did not expect that the Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment would be defeated so quickly, and they were actually divided and surrounded by the Chinese G army in one day.
He was anxious and hurriedly reported to the headquarters of the Second Army and asked for reinforcements.
But at this time, the headquarters of the Second Army could only provide air support to the encircled Seya detachment and the Sakamoto detachment, and in addition to airdropping ammunition and materials, the air force was sent to participate in ground strikes.
The Japanese Air Force inflicted certain troubles and blows on the ground forces, but it could not change the course of the battle, and the encirclement of the Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment became smaller and smaller.
At 5:38 p.m. on the 14th, Chi Buzhou's group deciphered the secret telegram between the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army and the 5th Division, and the independent mixed 5th Brigade stationed in Qingcheng would go south for reinforcements.
It is expected to arrive in the Linyi area at noon on the 15th, and it is very likely that he will join up with the Kunizaki Noboru of the Fifth Division, so that Zhang and Pang, who are guarding Linyi, will be under great pressure.
Moreover, once Linyi is broken through by the Japanese army, the plan to encircle and annihilate the two major detachments of the Japanese army, Seya and Sakamoto, will have a serious impact.
Li Delin received a telegram from Leng Feng and immediately removed a division from Zhou Zhe's 75th Army, marched in a hurry, galloped to Linyi, and at the same time built positions in the direction of Lanling, Xiangcheng and Tancheng, and sent alert troops to block the Japanese army at any time.
