At this time, the Japanese troops in Shangqiu evacuated on all fronts, and the people went to the empty city, leaving a mess, and they really gave up the defense, according to the report of the Huya soldiers, they did not even leave the minimum defenders, and left in a very hurry.
The Huya soldiers easily captured several important bridges, which shattered the idea of the Japanese army to blow up the bridge, but because the number was too small, there was no way to the retreating Japanese army, so they could only follow and bite the marching Japanese army, and after the army, clean up the bridge behind it.
Dongku's army marched in two ways, all the way to Shangqiu, all the way to Shanxian County, Juye crossed the Yellow River in the north, and together with Lao Zhao's army, let Qufu and Jining open, from the west side of Weishan Lake, straight into Hebei.
Lao Zhao and Sun Tao's army of nearly 400,000 spread all over the mountains and fields, and the momentum was huge. Along the way, the road repeatedly pressed out by the self-propelled artillery allowed the artillery and trucks to pass easily, in the fields, on the barren beach, there was no obstruction in the slightest, only to build some bridges to delay time.
The Japanese army, when exploring the route of the advance army, actually let go of the opening and let the advance army advance in the direction of Juye, while the heavy troops were placed in Jining, driving away the people, digging trenches three or four meters wide, and making a defensive posture.
Sun Tao and Lao Zhao knew in the information fed back by the vanguard and scouts that the Japanese troops in Heze were also urgently evacuating and rushing to Jining, they wanted to eat, but unfortunately, the speed of the march could not catch up, and the main purpose was to arrange and put it along the route to complete the set goal. Looking for a suitable point to break through, it was not like fighting with the Japanese army, which affected the speed of the northward advance, so he still calmly moved forward and let the Japanese troops in front of him get out of the way. Do not intend to eat it on a quick march.
The supply line will wait for Dong Ku to arrive at Shangqiu, from Shangqiu north to Heze, and then cross the Yellow River and leave Jining, so as to avoid getting too close and being disturbed by the Japanese army.
Dong Ku's troops carried more than 50,000 people from Xie Jinyuan, nearly half of whom had no trucks, and the speed of movement was not fast. Although there was no fighting along the way, the distance of one hundred and sixty or seventy kilometers, at their current speed, it was not bad to be able to reach Shangqiu in two days. Just like Nakajima Isago Imasa, the vanguard truck troops arrived at the battlefield in Xuzhou and fought fiercely for several hours, and before they were halfway on foot, they received an order to retreat. I can't go fast.
On the march, neither army was hindered in any way. The march all the way did not encounter the slightest resistance from the Japanese army, but it was like camping and training by himself.
But just as Dong Ku had been marching all morning, and there was still some distance from Shangqiu, the Mongolian battlefield suddenly changed.
Soviet Russian troops attacked at multiple points. Let the dogs be tired of defense, and the troops are too scattered. The Russian general Zhukov had already formulated a strategy to attack Mongolia, and while the fierce battle was raging for a day and a night, and the large army of the order was frequently mobilized, the large army in the hidden mountains and valleys quietly moved towards Kyakhta.
Cavalry was everywhere in the woods. Tanks, also in pieces, artillery, also in order to facilitate the transport of artillery in the mountains and forests, and under the traction of tractors modified with obsolete tanks, gathered towards Kyakhta, and when the reconnaissance team sent by Goudan discovered the enemy's large-scale movements, the Soviet Russian troops launched an attack.
In just three or four hours, thousands of artillery pieces were transported to the artillery positions that had been secretly made up long ago, and the tanks and infantry were also ready for a surprise attack within several tens of kilometers.
When Goudan received the report from the overseas scouts, although he had long considered that Soviet Russia would use this way to find weak points and raid in one fell swoop, he also thought that only Kyakhta was the most suitable place for a large army to deploy and a rapid breakthrough. Although there are heavy troops here, it is not estimated that the Soviet and Russian troops began to secretly start building artillery positions as early as the summer, and covered them with grass, so that the scouts did not find out.
"Find the opponent's artillery positions and get ready for the assault!!"
The dog didn't panic, the battle here didn't stop, and if it was more, it was just more intense.
But at the moment when his order was given, the artillery on the opposite side suddenly became dense, and the shells rumbled and screamed, like a train passing in the air, so that the sound of those shells of about 100 caliber caliber was instantly annihilated.
On the position, after a summer of preparation, Goudan has built a strong enough bunker with logs with a diameter of 30 centimeters, and there are no trenches, all of which are underground fortifications. This is also the reason why Goudan is not worried about the other side's artillery bombardment, plus the range of the artillery on his side is remote, and it is difficult for the Soviet Russian artillery to get close within thirty kilometers.
But he miscalculated the caliber and range of the opponent's artillery. In one summer, Soviet Russia developed and cast thousands of large-caliber howitzers and cannons, all of which had a caliber of more than 300 and a firing range of nearly 30 kilometers, in order to deal with the fierce artillery of the advance army.
The cannonballs whizzed in, and with a bang, the enemy trembled violently, and the frozen earth and debris rose into the sky, and the huge or patterned made the sun in the sky dim.
Under the heavy shelling, the fighters in the bunker staggered, dizzy from the violent concussion, but fortunately there was a cover to cover them, and their ears were not deaf, but even so, they still buzzed.
"Holy! What caliber gun is this? ”
Meng Zhaocheng was the commander in charge of the main position in Charlan, and in the command headquarters, the tea jars on the table were violently raised, and the water in them was overflowing, which made him shocked, he was two kilometers away from the front line, such a violent vibration, obviously, the caliber of the opponent's artillery was more than three hundred.
Indeed, the artillery of Soviet Russia was more than three hundred, three hundred and five, three hundred and eight, and four hundred calibers, although bulky, but still had a high mobility under the towing of a tank modification with the turret and combat part removed. The most important thing is that such a large-caliber artillery is comparable to effective shooting, although its destructive area is only a large crater with a diameter of only 30 or 40 meters, and the shock wave destruction range of 60 or 70 meters, it will not take many cannons to remove the soil on the bunker that is up to four or five meters thick.
Similarly, the artillery that fixed the Zhuyuan had already been set, and although the shell loading was not fast, it could not hold much. The loud bang made it difficult for the soldiers on the position to stand firm, and they all lay there, enduring the concussion.
"Knock out the artillery positions on the opposite side for me!!"
Meng Zhaocheng stood up and shouted to order.
When his order was given. The artillery positions on this side were already roaring, but at the same time, the phone calls were coming in.
"What? The opposing artillery positions are on the edge of the firing range? ”
Meng Zhaocheng was shocked.
In this way, the artillery five kilometers behind the position will not reach the enemy's artillery position, the front, waiting to be bombed.
Goudan then learned the news. Equally shocked.
The opponent's heavy artillery is huge, and it can't be reached and destroyed, so the defense of the forward position will be troublesome.
"Bombard the tanks, bombard the approaching cavalry!! Thirty 150 guns forward! ”
After Meng Zhaocheng finished reporting, he immediately ordered.
The artillery bombardment on this side can only bombard the approaching enemy tanks and cavalry all over the mountains, and can only resist the artillery bombardment of the other side for the time being.
The troops of Soviet Russia, under heavy artillery shelling, launched a surprise attack on the positions. They had to quickly approach the front of the position. Fortunately, at the moment when the shelling stopped, an attack was launched here.
The artillery shells of the advance army are also not covered, and the modified T33 tank still cannot withstand large-caliber shelling. The flames flickered, the frozen ground flew wildly, and the tanks caught fire or were blown up to the chain rails, and were paralyzed on the way. The cavalry, even the horses, were blown up in the air. Patches were torn apart by artillery fire.
But even so, it didn't stop the approaching attacking team. Scattered and scattered, they moved forward firmly in the midst of artillery fire.
Zhukov calculated the range of the artillery of his side, which will be able to bombard the forward positions on the opposite side and at the same time deliver the artillery forward, but hide and wait, waiting to give the opponent a hard blow.
The artillery shelling of both sides was concentrated on the forward positions of the other side. One was concentrated within two or three kilometers of the front of the position, constantly bombarding, and no one took the first step to engage in an artillery battle and bombard the opponent's artillery position.
Dogan carefully looked at the enemy artillery position that had just been transmitted back from the command headquarters, and he keenly captured Zhukov's intentions. That is, with artillery shells, the positions are crossed against each other, and tanks are used to break through the positions. And the opponent will never just put the artillery in the position of the theater, which will not help the attack, and will not be able to bombard the depth.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly gave Meng Zhaocheng an order not to transport artillery to the front line. The number of artillery pieces of the opponent exceeds 500, and dozens of guns can only fire two rounds of attacks, and they may be destroyed by the enemy's hidden artillery fire, making the front line even more unstable.
Subsequently, the new artillery moved backwards, and all those Japanese-made artillery pieces were concentrated in the front and rear of the front, effectively bombarding the Soviet Russian troops who were steadily pressing forward all over the mountains, and did not hesitate to waste shells, but also to clear the blank area with a diameter of 100 meters at a time.
The fierce shelling made the smoke billowing from the guns around Chartu, the visibility became lower and lower, and the positions were also dilapidated in the bombardment for nearly half an hour, and the casualties gradually climbed.
"Withdraw from the forward positions and enter the second line of defense!!"
Meng Zhaocheng gave the order to retreat according to the dog's instructions.
At this time, if they were still holding on, the more than 20,000 soldiers on the front line would all be blown up by the giant artillery, just like that, thousands of sacrifices, four or five thousand wounded, Meng Zhaocheng couldn't stand it.
The troops, amid violent explosions, withdrew from the already crumbling forward positions, evacuated the bunkers of the collapsed part of the tunnel and entered the second line of positions.
At this time, the Russian tank group and cavalry had already gathered no more than a kilometer in the front line, and in the withdrawal of troops from this side, they launched a charge to the front line.
When the tanks were more than 500 meters away from the position, four or five hundred tanks roared in unison, and the bombardment of shells rained down on the forward position, and the smoke and dust made the visibility of the position that was already unclear even lower, and it was not much different from the night.
In the dense explosion, Meng Zhaocheng shouted: "All artillery is effective and fired, bombarding the front line!" ”
With his roar, the forward artillery group that had already been prepared for the war, those Japanese-made and Russian-made artillery roared, and five or six hundred cannons of various calibers gradually could not find the target in the enemy's advance, but the position was a fixed coordinate, so there was no need to worry about the enemy's marching speed at all, according to the pre-assigned artillery bombardment point, a vigorous bombardment was enough.
At the moment when the shells flew here, the Soviet Russian tanks were already forty or fifty meters apart, leaving a channel for the cavalry to charge in the middle, and rushed to the position first. The cavalry, also after the tank drove two or three hundred meters, launched a charge.
As they charged, the thunder of the enemy resounded, and the vibration of the cannon bombardment that had just stopped was heard again.
During the charge, the expected stubborn resistance did not come, and the guns did not ring, and they were greeted by an overwhelming artillery fire.
Hundreds of guns fired in unison, and the flames instantly annihilated the front of the position, and in the loud roar, the tanks turned into fireworks, and the flames rose into the sky, and the shattered wreckage flew all over the sky.
"Ulla!"
The cavalry burst out with a tsunami-like sound of horses' hooves like thunder, like a tide, chasing the tanks in front, and in an instant, they rushed into the tank group under artillery fire, and then, in the dense explosion, followed the tanks forward.
At this time, the tanks did not stop, they all increased their horsepower and drove forward frantically.
Under artillery fire, the horses overtook the tanks, and then, with a loud bang, ascended to the dilapidated and broken grounds.
As soon as they landed on the position, the dense artillery shells covered the position almost at the same time, and the main position, which stretched for three or four kilometers, was immediately ablaze, and the Soviet and Russian soldiers had not jumped into the trenches yet, ready to fight for bunkers, and the follow-up infantry was annihilated by this dense artillery fire before they could catch up.
In a short moment, less than twenty seconds before and after, there was not a single running horse in front of the tank, and it was shattered by the dense artillery fire. Tanks, too, did not catch well, and in the dense artillery fire, one tank after another ignited a fire, making the cold on the front of the ground warm in a short moment.
The heat wave rolled over, making the smoke rise higher, and the sun was long gone, but the surrounding light became bright because of the raging fire.
Cannonballs, still falling, don't want money, sprinkled into the sea of fire.
The dense explosions, the sky-high fires, and the fierce burning of the tanks made it impossible for the follow-up cavalry to pass at all, and then the order to retreat came from the rear.
Seeing that the opponent's artillery was too dense, Zhukov gave the order to retreat, and at the same time, the artillery fire roared again, and the shells, rumbling through the night sky, fell to the position.
Another round of shelling began......
The position, in this case, has been lost, but the Soviet Russian troops do not know that there is no one there in the road, Zhukov thinks that the other side shelling his own position, is nothing more than to kill and injure more vitality here, besides, whether there are people in the protective position, he must take it, otherwise, where does the team come from?
His idea is exactly what Goudan wants, and Goudan has set up four positions here, just using the front line to strangle, and more of the vitality of Soviet Russia. (To be continued......)
