"Division, there is a garrison brigade of the Japanese army in Ping'an County, about 500 people, and a regiment of puppet troops, our 12th Division only needs a wave of attack, and it can definitely take Ping'an County." Chu Yunfei pointed to Ping'an County and said confidently.

Although the combat effectiveness of the 12th Division has not yet been condensed, the combat effectiveness of the 3rd and 4th Mechanized Infantry Brigades and the two brigades is definitely not inferior to that of the two Japanese brigades.

"Direct attack, the casualties are too great, and this time it is a military training, Ping'an County does not need to be taken down so quickly, let's go first and see how the artillery brigade is prepared?" Underground command room, Zhou Yang explained.

"Brigade commander, how do you hit this cannon?" At this time, the commander of the howitzer regiment of the artillery brigade said helplessly, in the past, an artillery regiment did not even have a decent cannon, but now it is good, the thinnest cannon of the entire artillery regiment is a 105mm howitzer.

The artillery of the whole regiment can be operated, but it is not accurate at all.

"Kong Jie, order the artillery regiment, and in ten minutes, start shelling the Japanese army." Zhou Yang ordered.

"Division commander, this artillery regiment can't be hit at all." Kong Jie said with some embarrassment.

The artillery looks very simple to operate, reload the shells, and then shoot them out.

However, if the ballistic trajectory is not calculated, no matter how fierce the firepower is, it will not be able to hit the enemy's position at all, and it is possible to accidentally injure friendly troops.

"If you can fight accurately, our 12th Division will come to fight a small Ping'an County." Zhou Yang said, "The artillery regiment can't determine the location in the distance, at least a thousand meters away, you can hit it accurately, give me a little bit to push forward, as long as the shells don't hit the people." ”

"Divisional commander, this is a waste of a lot of shells." Howitzer regiment, the commander Wu Shan, a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a stubble on his face, looked rude, but in the entire 12th Division, he was the top artillery commander.

"If the problem can be solved by shells, it will not be a problem in the future, you know?" Zhou Yang said loudly.

"Yes!" Not only Wu Shan was a little stunned, Kong Jie's whole person fell into a stupor, and Chu Yunfei was also indescribably emotional, I am afraid that this is the first division commander in the whole of China who has the confidence to say this.

"Start shelling, when, to a distance of 100 meters, when the artillery regiment will stop shelling." Zhou Yang said a word, and continued to inspect the remaining regiments.

"Don't hurry up yet." Kong Jie ordered.

"Brothers, give me a hard bang, the division has an order, when to run accurately, when to start eating." Wu Shan threatened.

The soldiers of these artillery regiments swallowed and foamed hard when they heard this.

"Tuanza rest assured, we will definitely live up to the expectations of the division." The soldiers of the howitzer regiment replied loudly, the fat of the white flowers is the same as the New Year.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

An artillery bombardment like thunder exploded near the county seat of Ping'an.

"Baga, where is the cannon?" The captain of the Ping'an County garrison, Noo Murashita hurriedly got up from the bed.

"Captain, just outside the county seat." An orderly hurriedly replied.

Noo Murashita got dressed and sat on his motorcycle, and drove to the east of the city.

"Captain, look at the shells falling on the dirt hill ahead." The leader of the Japanese squadron defending the city in the east of the city, Shiro Ibe, said with a puzzled expression.

"Nani?" Noo Murashita said a little strangely.

Sou!

A shell fell directly on the wall in the east of the city, shattering four or five Japanese soldiers.

"Hurry up and drop! The enemy is attacking, go into the attack position! Noo Murashita shouted.

But after three or four minutes passed, not a single shell fell into Ping'an County.

It's just that the range of those shells has already crossed the earth mountain and landed four or five hundred meters away from the county seat of Ping'an.

Outside the city, there was a banging bang, and there was not a single shell inside the city.

It took half an hour to fight, and only occasionally some old artillerymen were able to hit the city walls with shells.

"Eight-Gayalu, what are these people doing?" Noo Murakita looked puzzled.

It looks like they are conducting artillery training, but in such a wasteful way, they can't afford to lose the Japanese Empire, let alone the impoverished China?

"Stop the shelling, the battalions and companies will exchange experiences with each other, and in ten minutes, the next round of shelling will be carried out." Kong Jie commanded the herald.

In this way, the fighting stopped, and it continued until noon, and the shelling of the howitzer regiment finally became a little decent.

"My old Li is completely convinced." Li Yunlong sighed in the underground command room in Xicheng.

The three-hour artillery bombardment is just to train artillery skills, and I am afraid that this is the only part of the country.

"Isn't it? The little devil in the east of the city was poured blood mold, which was not killed by the shell, but also by the sound of the cannonball. Zhang Dabiao gloated a little.

In the past, it was they who withstood the fire of Little Japan, and now it is finally their turn to be unlucky.

"Chief of Staff, when are we going to attack?" The regiment commanders under Ding Wei were all from the Eighth Route and Sichuan Army, and they were distressed.

In the past, they used to fire two guns, and they all started white-knuckle battles, and this cannon bombarded for three hours, so it's time for them to get on, right?

"The division commander has no order, you are just waiting here." Ding Wei said lightly, he was also very distressed, if these shells were given to the Eighth Route Army, a few would be enough for a year or two.

"Chu Yunfei, order the four regiments around the city gate to start a general movement, and withdraw immediately once they encounter stubborn resistance." Zhou Yang said.

"Yes." Chu Yunfei immediately began to deploy the battle plan.

"358 regiment? The division headquarters ordered your department to immediately launch an attack to the north of the city! ”

"Separate regiments? The division headquarters orders your troops to attack the south of the city immediately! ”

"357 regiment? The division headquarters orders your troops to immediately launch an attack to the west of the city! ”

・・・・・・

"The captain is not good, there are a large number of enemy troops around the city." Murashita Noo was sitting in the command room in the city when he heard the herald and hurriedly said.

"Hurry up and send a report to the brigade commander, saying that our department was besieged by a corps of the Central Army, and it was carrying heavy artillery." Noo Murashita ordered to the reporter on the side.

However, when Noo Murashita ascended to the east of the city, the whole person was completely dumbfounded, and there was a regiment-sized tank driving towards the east of the city.

"Hurry up, send a report to the brigade commander, our department may be besieged by Wei Lihuang's department, let the brigade commander rescue quickly!"

Although the combat effectiveness of the Central Army led by Wei Lihuang was not as good as that of the Japanese army, it was still easy for the more than 100,000 Central Army to crush a garrison brigade in Ping'an County.

Boom Boom!

The tanks howled angrily, and the nervous Japanese found that each one hit the city wall.

As if it had entered the time of artillery bombardment again, the armored regiment continued to gallop in the east of the city, changing its formation, and the same was true of several other city gates, more than an hour passed, and on each city wall, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and dozens of puppet soldiers died.

Noo Murashita immediately calmed down, and the enemy army was not afraid.

"Send a telegram, my village brigade, confident to hold on for another week."

However, in the first theater of operations, the headquarters of the 4th Brigade was in chaos.

Wei Lihuang's Central Army actually attacked Ping'an County, and the geographical location there didn't matter at all.

And they are hundreds of miles away from Ping'an County, why are they fighting Ping'an County?

The commander of the first theater of the Japanese army was also puzzled at this time, Wei Lihuang's Central Army and Jin Sui Army had been pressed by the Japanese army in southern Jinnan, how could they escape the encirclement of the Japanese army and run to Ping'an County.

However, the 4th Brigade soon received a second telegram from Noo Murashita.

"An armored regiment, a heavy artillery regiment, and a large number of elite troops?" The 4th Brigade, the brigade commander Tanaka Santaro looked puzzled, the most elite German armor division of the year was not so elite, could it be that this was a newly formed unit?

"How long has Noo Murakita resisted?" Tanaka asked the staff officer on the side.

"It's been 4 hours, and our army has only suffered a few dozen casualties." The staff officer said.

"Nani? Is it a siege point to send reinforcements? Tanaka Santaro wondered.

"Report to the brigade commander, a telegram from the county seat of Ping'an." The telegraph operator reported.

"Read."

"Please rest assured that the brigade commander of my village has been engaged in a battle with Wei Lihuang's headquarters, and the two sides have launched fierce and tragic battles, and our army has repelled dozens of attacks by Wei Lihuang's headquarters, please rest assured that the brigade under my village still has the confidence to hold on for a week."

Santaro Tanaka, frowning.

"Report to the brigade commander, the first commander to report, Wei Lihuang's department, has been under the supervision of our army, and there is no sign of movement."

"Baga, this stupid pig in the village, let him wake up and send a telegram." Tanaka Santaro has an iron face on his face, the Central Army has not moved, the Jin Sui Army has not moved, where did the elite army come from?

There was also a tragic war, and it was really looking for death to falsely report military exploits to such an extent.

At the same time, the headquarters of the 12th Division, a professional recruited by Zhou Yang through Wanjielou has also arrived.
