readx;? Eighty 75-mm FK18 infantry guns, seventy 105-mm howitzers, and 23 150-mm K18 heavy guns, a total of 173 guns, made an astonishing sound at the same time, and the fire when fired reflected half of the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info huge movement frightened Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who had just gotten into bed, jumped out of bed, and rushed out of the house without even having time to put on his shoes.

The glow of the fire in the west, the loud noise, the screeching of the cannonballs flying overhead, and the sound of the fires and explosions of the cannonballs exploding behind him soon after, all made Yoshizumi Ryosuke stunned. At this time, there was only one thought left in Yoshizumi's mind, where did the Shina people get so many artillery, and it seemed that it was all heavy artillery. Could it be that the people of China put all the artillery of the whole country in Shanghai?

It was not only Yoshizumi Ryosuke who was shocked by such a big movement, but also Lieutenant General Tateshi Ogisu, the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Masakaki Ito, the commander of the 101st Division, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu of the 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Sotake Yamamuro of the 11th Division, and a bunch of brigade commanders and wing commanders of the Japanese army all rushed out of the room and were stunned. At the same time, a question arose in the minds of these Japanese officers, where did the Chinese get so many artillery? What would happen if these artillery shelled my troops? Thinking of this, all the Japanese officers couldn't help but gasp.

Also stunned were the officers of the Chinese defenders, and almost all the senior officers wondered where did they get so many artillery, which was enough for the little devils to drink a pot. Only General Zhang Zhizhong looked at this movement and said to himself: "This kid has finally exerted his strength, great, and let the Japanese taste the power of our squadron, and see how rampant he is." ”

Wang Haitao sat in the command center, quietly listening to the movement outside. Ten minutes later, Wang Haitao said to the civilian officers beside him: "Order the reconnaissance battalion to report the results of the battle, once the heavy artillery position of the Japanese army is successfully defeated, order the divisional armored battalion to assault the Japanese 9th Division, and the 544th Regiment immediately enters Luodian Town and prepares to cover the assault of the armored battalion." Tell Wei Hai and Wu Jianzhou that the assault should be fast, accurate, ruthless, and end the assault before dawn and withdraw to Luodian Town. Vehicles lost in the assault are to be blown up. ”

After the order was transmitted, 22 light and heavy tanks of the armored battalion in Luodian Town were in front and 48 light and heavy armored vehicles were in the rear, neatly lined up at the east gate of Luodian Town, waiting for the order to attack, and Wu Jianzhou, the commander of the armored battalion, was also sitting on a heavy armored vehicle. The 544th Regiment, under the leadership of the regiment commander Wei Hai, ran towards Luodian Town. Although the officers and men of the 547th Regiment stationed in Luodian Town had heard that there was an armored battalion of the New 90th Division, dozens of chariots were neatly lined up on the main road, and the shock brought by it was far stronger than a number.

Even Zhang Lingfu couldn't help but say to Du Haifeng: "Our new ninety division is really too strong, we are here right." Du Haifeng also sighed: "I was surprised enough when I saw a few chariots of the independent battalion before, but now I know that it is just a trivial meaning, our new 90th Division can also be called the first in the Central Army, right?" Zhang Lingfu glanced at Du Haifeng and said: "Our new 90th Division is called second, who dares to call it first?"

The shelling lasted half an hour, and the scouts of the reconnaissance battalion sent back a telegram. The heavy artillery positions of the 10th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment of the Japanese Army were destroyed, the heavy artillery positions of the 12th Field Heavy Artillery Company of the Japanese Army were destroyed, and the heavy artillery positions of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Independent Siege Heavy Artillery were destroyed. After the telegram arrived at Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao said: "Okay! Order the armored battalion and the 544th Regiment to start attacking half an hour later, that is, at 11 o'clock." ”

At 11 o'clock in the night, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army had not yet recovered from the shelling just now, and at the east gate of Luodian Town, from the collapsed city wall, there was the roar of the engine, and then the ground shook again, and more than 20 tank vehicles opened up the distance and ran straight towards the defense line outside Luodian occupied by the Japanese army, behind the tank body were 48 light and heavy armored vehicles, and at the end were the soldiers of the 544th Regiment who followed the combat vehicles to cover the attack.

The soldiers of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, who were in the third line of defense outside Luodian Town, had just experienced half an hour of thrilling shelling, and although the shells did not fall on their positions, they were all worried about what would happen to tomorrow's attack. As the soldiers whispered to each other as they prepared to rest, the ground began to shake beneath them, and the startled soldiers stuck their heads out of the trenches.

The soldiers saw countless lights in the direction of Luodian Town, and at the same time, the roar of engines could be heard. The Japanese officer on duty shouted: "The chariot of the Shina people has attacked, enter the position quickly." With the shouting, the guns rang out from the position. The wing commander of the 36th Wing, Jiro Wakisaka, also commanded the artillery squadron of the wing, firing four infantry guns and a dozen mortars at the opposite light.

Whether it was light or heavy machine guns or artillery, the headlights on the opposite side were still approaching the position, and when the Japanese soldiers were nervously firing their guns, gunfire rang out from the opposite side. The heavy machine guns and tank guns on the tanks began to fire at the Japanese soldiers in the trenches and at various firing points. In the Japanese army's blocking fire, even the shells of the four 70 mountain guns could not cause damage to the frontal armor of the heavy tanks, let alone those light and heavy machines.

Within 10 minutes of the start of the exchange of fire, the artillery and light and heavy machines of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army were almost destroyed by the tank guns and heavy machine guns on the tanks. Many soldiers with explosives strapped to their bodies and a large number of grenades shouted, "Banza!" and rushed towards the tanks.

However, not far from the tanks, there were still more than 40 armored vehicles protecting the tanks, and most of these Japanese soldiers who played with human bombs were killed by the heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles, and very few could detonate in front of the tanks. Moreover, these explosive packs and grenades will not cause any harm to heavy tanks at all, and these tanks must not be the "bean fighting vehicles" of the Japanese army.

Seeing that he could not stop the chariots of the Shina army, Wakisaka Jiro Osa asked the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, for support while asking the soldiers to begin to retreat. After the Japanese soldiers had the order to retreat, they fled from the trenches and retreated to the rear, their backs completely exposed to the lights of the tanks, and the heavy machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles mercilessly harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

The soldiers of the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army were stationed in the second line of defense, and the Japanese troops who were waiting for the battle saw that the retreating ** team appeared in front, and they couldn't rob it, but the chariot of the Zhi Na people was charging with machine guns behind the retreating national soldiers. The commander of the 35th Wing, Fujii Miyoshi Osa, cursed: "Baga!" while ordering the soldiers of the 35th Wing to retreat.

The Japanese soldiers were in a mess at night, and they didn't care about anything, and ran backwards, but how could two small short legs outrun the chariot, and in a short time, tanks and armored vehicles rushed into the ranks of the Japanese retreat, and the retreat of the Japanese army turned into a rout. The soldiers of the 544th Regiment, who were closely behind the armored body, were now useful, and the whole regiment was deployed in the form of a combat group and launched an attack on the Japanese troops who were fleeing.

The troops were about to start a counteroffensive, and Wei Changxing, the company commander of the reconnaissance company in Luodian Town, could no longer sit still. Before, he only captured a wing flag of the Seventh Wing of the Japanese Army, which burned most of it, although the division seat did not say anything, but the regretful eyes were imprinted in Wei Changxing's heart. Wei Changxing knew that the division had ordered an all-out counterattack, and with the strength of his own troops, the Japanese army could only break and escape, so the opportunity for the reconnaissance company would come.

Wei Changxing gathered the reconnaissance company together and announced the battle order, and the target of the reconnaissance company was the headquarters at all levels of the Ninth Division. So when the 544th Regiment attacked, Wei Changxing also set off with the soldiers of the reconnaissance company. In the previous reconnaissance missions, the reconnaissance company had already figured out the location of the headquarters of several wings of the Ninth Division, and now Wei Changxing had the reconnaissance company divided into several combat groups to find out the location of the headquarters of several wings of the Japanese army.

Sure enough, it took only twenty minutes for their own troops to break through the defense line of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the Japanese army began to retreat. However, the headquarters of the 36th Wing was wrapped in the middle of a large number of retreating Japanese troops, and there was no chance to attack. Wei Changxing decisively gave up the headquarters of the 36th Wing of the Japanese Army and touched the front of the headquarters of the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army.

At this time, the 36th Wing of the Japanese army had just begun to retreat, and the wing commander of the 35th Wing, Fujii Miyoshi Daisa, was commanding the soldiers of the 35th Wing outside the headquarters, preparing to block the attack of the ** team. But after a while, Fujii Miyoshi Daisa found that he couldn't stop the attack of the ** team, so he had to order a retreat. Just as the soldiers of the 35th Wing withdrew from their positions and retreated, and Fujii Miyoshi Daisa also returned to the headquarters to pack up and prepare to retreat, Wei Changxing, who was waiting for the opportunity, led five combat groups to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the 35th Wing.

Five light machine guns and more than 20 submachine guns opened fire at the same time, and the dense firepower made a squadron of soldiers of the Japanese army guarding in front of the headquarters immediately knocked down more than half. When the Japanese army was about to return fire when they encountered a sudden attack, dozens of grenades flew over again, and the continuous explosions sounded in this squadron of the Japanese army, but Wei Changxing took advantage of the smoke from the grenade explosion to lead the soldiers to charge.

This time Wei Changxing no longer hesitated, and the gunfire in his hand did not stop while charging, and after the Japanese troops outside the headquarters were eliminated, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company rushed into the headquarters and several tents next to it while firing their guns. The two teams led by Wei Changxing went straight to the tent that Fujii Miyoshi had entered, and after rushing into the tent, Wei Changxing opened fire on all the targets that could still move, until there was no movement in the tent.

It took just over two minutes from the start of the operation to the cessation of the gunfire, and the command of the 35th Wing was terminated, and the fierce fighting in this part of the night was completely covered by the sound of gunfire on tanks and armored vehicles, and the soldiers of the 35th Wing of the Japanese army did not find that the headquarters of their wing had been terminated at all, so there were no Japanese troops to support their headquarters.
