"And if we don't seize this opportunity, once the mentality of the devil returns to normal, we must fight hard, enough for two lines of defense (Note 1), not to mention our division, even if the main force of the group army is all put into battle, it is very difficult to get hands on urgently, when the Japanese reinforcements continue to join the battlefield, this battle can be a war of attrition that outweighs the losses As for the strength of the Japanese army, according to our intelligence, it should be about 100,000 people at most now, with the strength of our new 38th Division, it may be difficult to annihilate it completely, But there is no doubt about driving him out of the position", Sun Liren exuded a strong self-confidence during the conversation, and Chen Mingren, who had never been convinced, was unable to look directly at this junior for a while after the new defeat.\\

As a senior who had become famous during the Northern Expedition, Chen Mingren was somewhat angry at the "arrogance" of the junior in front of him, but when he knew the current establishment of the new 38th Division, his mood immediately turned into shock, "It turns out that he is not bragging, the new 38th Division may really have this strength, the whole division has more than 35,000 people, but it is equipped with more than 5,000 vehicles, more than 100 heavy artillery (the national army calls barreled artillery with a caliber of more than 105 mm as heavy artillery), nearly 1,000 mortars, nearly 2,000 light and heavy machine guns, and thousands of rocket launchers. More than 10,000 rifles are all 'assault rifles' that can be fired in bursts like submachine guns, and they are even equipped with 24 tanks and 28 armored vehicles, if you want to give me such a strong configuration, the 88th Division can deal with 100,000 Japanese troops, is this the strength of the 15th Group Army? ”

Sun Liren saw the shocked expression on the face of Chen Mingren, a famous domestic general, and felt a little proud in his heart, and couldn't help but add a few more words, "Because the air defense task in Qingdao is very heavy, our air defense regiment did not bring it, but with the protection of the Soviet aid air force, the little devil's plane has nothing to be afraid of, and the group army headquarters has specially equipped us with secret weapons."

"Meteor showers. It's a meteor shower! I can't imagine that I can see such a beautiful scene in China", a young military officer looked at the countless crimson "shooting stars" flying in the sky and said in surprise, but a veteran with rich war experience was the first to guess the truth, and immediately shouted, "Lie down." Lie down! That's a cannonball! ”

But by this time it was too late. Hu Weidong strengthened all the current rocket artillery of the 15th Group Army to the new 38th Division, of which 48 40-barreled 122 vehicle-mounted rocket launchers had a maximum range of 40 kilometers, and took the lead in covering the forward positions of the Japanese army from a distance, and nearly 2,000 large-caliber cluster rockets were poured on the heads of the Japanese troops in just one minute

The rain of fire and shrill screams continued to fall on the Japanese positions like hail. Tens of thousands of sub-shells flew everywhere and exploded wherever they fell, further expanding the scope of destruction and mercilessly harvesting the dirty lives of the invaders everywhere. Even the veterans of the Japanese army, who had been through a hundred battles, were completely stunned by this sudden and fierce artillery bombardment. All they could hear was the deafening sound of explosions and the death-threatening howls of countless comrades; All you can see is the smoke and dust that envelops the entire battlefield, and the stumps and severed arms that fly in front of you from time to time

The terrifying scene as the legendary Shura Field has caused unprecedented panic among the devils, and even the veterans are all terrified, not to mention that there are many recruits who have just been expanded into the army? The panicked devils ran around, but on the contrary, they expanded the area of bombing, which was equivalent to further increasing the lethality of rocket artillery, just like the so-called "grenadier canister was not very powerful" after they were ridiculed before, but after being bombed, the soldiers of China would always run around like headless flies. Therefore, the killing effect is very good".

Almost at the same time, 36 122 vehicle-mounted howitzers and 24 150 vehicle-mounted heavy cannons, which had already advanced to a deeper area, also let out a roar, although the instantaneous fire density was not comparable to that of rocket artillery, but the charge of the shells was far above the rockets, so the power became more and more terrifying. Some of the more determined Japanese troops were spitting at the end of the rocket artillery attack and trying to calm the morale of the army. However, because their ears were still buzzing, and almost no one heard the roar of the second wave of shelling, as a result, these guys who stood up and made an impassioned appearance were directly blown to pieces by the ensuing heavy shelling, and the morale of the Japanese army was completely collapsed. Even the officers who were well-known in their subordinates could not restrain the soldiers who rushed out of their positions and fled, because they themselves joined the rout

Under the cover of artillery fire, the commander of a certain 107 rocket artillery battalion, which followed the assault troops to within an effective firing range of 8 kilometers, had not yet opened the meat. The division commander sent a telegram based on the results of the plane's reconnaissance so that they didn't have to waste shells, because their original targets had all run out, and the battalion commander couldn't help but cry and laugh, and scolded, "Damn, why are the little devils so unbeaten? I didn't even get a chance to make a move."

It doesn't matter if the enemy can't reach the enemy's retreat, the artillery unit of the new 38th Division immediately has to continue to press forward unforgivingly, which is simply slamming the devil's ass all the way, because it is attacking along the road, even if it sometimes takes time to clear the roadblocks, it is still difficult for the devil's two legs to run through the wheels of the car, and the vehicle-mounted artillery can be fired immediately as soon as it stops, even the rocket artillery that is not easy to load can complete this work in the march, so there is almost no delay on the way. And the result is naturally obvious, either the devil was directly killed or stunned by artillery fire, or he lost his will to fight and obediently raised his hands, at this time Sun Li really realized the superiority of the vehicle-mounted artillery, and Hu Weidong couldn't help but admire Hu Weidong more and more for coming up with this idea.

Although the situation is very good, Sun Liren still does not dare to be careless, he knows very well that it is not too difficult to defeat the 100,000 Japanese troops, but if the action is slow, not only will the devil's rout be received, but the wounded soldiers will also have a chance to make a comeback, and the results of the new 38th Division will be greatly reduced; More importantly, once the original defense line built by the Nationalist Army was not snatched before the Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese army could use the ready-made positions to block the offensive of the new 38th Division (after all, the effect of rocket artillery will not be so good next time, and it is unlikely that the devil will make the same big mistake of being proud and lax because of the big victory just won this time), and use this as an advance base for attacking the Shandong base area.

Note 1: The northern side was built by the Japanese army in southern Lunan to prevent the attack of the 15th Group Army; The southern side was built by the national army in order to resist the attack of the Japanese army in southern Lunan, because it was necessary to guard against the Japanese army in the direction of Lianyungang, so the defense line as a whole was semi-arc.
