After listening to Yoshida Eijiro's question, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo shook his head and replied: "No, Yoshida-kun, it is not yet time to use the field artillery wing, and the infantry of the Shina people has not yet begun to attack, and our shells are going to make the infantry of the Shina people suffer. Yoshida Eijiro nodded and said, "Yo Xi! Or the division commander, Your Excellency is wise!"

Ten minutes passed quickly, and after the artillery fire had plowed the forward positions of the Japanese troops, they began to extend to the rear. Wei Ye said to Tang Yu: "Brigade seat, the artillery fire has begun to extend, and the 877th Regiment and the 878th Regiment can advance." Tang Yu also saw that the artillery fire began to extend, nodded and said, "Let's start attacking!" The order of the sortie was quickly conveyed.

Dozens of combat vehicles in front of the position were launched at the same time, and in the roar of the engines, the combat vehicles discharged an attack formation and slowly moved forward. As soon as the chariot moved, the officers and men of the two regiments standing behind the chariot also moved forward with the chariot. After the chariots were separated from each other, they maintained a certain speed and moved forward, and the infantry also moved forward together as they usually trained.

As soon as the tanks and infantry of the Chinese army were attacked, the Japanese observation posts immediately discovered the situation and immediately reported it to Lieutenant General Ide Tetsuzo. Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo received the report and said to Yoshida Eijiro Daisa with some excitement: "The infantry of the Shina people has begun to attack, and it is time to teach the Shina people a lesson." The field artillery wing was ordered to prepare for fire, and the 210th wing all entered the forward position. ”

On the forward position of the Japanese army, an infantry brigade stationed there suffered more than half of the casualties in the bombing, and the Japanese troops on the entire position were sparsely sparse, and at the order of Lieutenant General Izuku Tetsuzo, the other three infantry brigades of the 210th Wing drilled out of the hidden hole behind the position, and soon the Japanese soldiers filled the forward position, and the 6 Type 92 infantry guns and 18 mortars of the 210th Wing were also erected.

The smoke of gunpowder on the forward position of the Japanese army gradually dispersed, and the dense Japanese soldiers on the position surprised Tang Yu, who was holding a telescope. Tang Yu asked Wei Ye in surprise: "The artillery bombardment was so dense just now, how come there are still so many troops on the Japanese position?" Wei Ye also held the binoculars and replied: "Little Japan has also learned well, and has learned the tricks we use to deal with the artillery bombardment, but no matter how good the learning is, Lao Tzu has a way to deal with them." ”

Tang Yu also understood at this time, and couldn't help frowning. Wei Ye then said to Tang Yu: "Brigade seat, doesn't our division still have a killer weapon? Now you can ask the division seat to use it." Tang Yu understood that Wei Ye was referring to the rocket artillery battalion directly under the division headquarters. Needless to say, the power of the rocket artillery battalion is a treasure, one shot is missing, and there is nowhere to replenish it if you want to, and even the military seat is precious to it, and it will not be used easily.

But now, if it can be used to bomb the forward positions of the Japanese army for a single round, the lethality will be extremely great, and it will also be conducive to the troops to quickly capture the Japanese positions. Tang Yu thought about it for a while, but decided to ask the division commander to use the rocket artillery battalion. The phone rang from time to time in Wang Haitao's headquarters, but when the officer who answered the phone directly asked Li Changshi to answer the phone, Li Changwu was still stunned for a moment.

Li Changwu has the right to use the rocket artillery battalion, but now that Tang Longzai and Wang Haitao are here, Li Changwu still asked the two for instructions. With Wang Haitao present, Tang Longzai did not express his position, and set his eyes on Wang Haitao like Li Changwu. Wang Haitao was originally going to use the rocket artillery battalion in the battle, no matter how precious it is, if it is not hit, it will be scrap iron.

Seeing that Wang Haitao agreed to use the rocket artillery battalion, Li Changwu first notified Tang Yu on the phone, and then asked the phone to call the rocket artillery battalion. Zhao Qiang, the commander of the rocket artillery battalion, knew the power and importance of the twelve rocket launchers in his hands, and also knew the preciousness of *, so he ignored the repeated requests of his subordinates to fight, and just ordered them to prepare and wait for orders from their superiors.

When Li Changwu's call reached the rocket artillery battalion, Zhao Qiang was inspecting the preparations on the position. Seeing the signal corps of the battalion headquarters rushing over, Zhao Qiang realized that the order to attack might have been conveyed. Sure enough, the signal corps rushed to Zhao Qiang and shouted loudly: "Report to the battalion commander, the division command: target the forward position of the Japanese army, and execute a salvo immediately." The words of the signal corps caused cheers from the battlefield.

The coordinates of the various parts of the Japanese positions had already been marked on the map, and the artillerymen in charge of aiming had even memorized the coordinates of the various positions. After the order was conveyed by Zhao Qiang, it only took three minutes for all twelve rocket launchers to be prepared. Zhao Qiang continued: "Fire!" The gunner pressed the ignition button, and in a scream, it took only thirty seconds for more than 200 * to take off into the air one after another.

Here in the forward position, the heavy tanks that rushed to the front were still 300 meters away from the Japanese position, and the small artillery on the Japanese position was already firing, and the light and heavy machine guns were also ready to open fire. At this moment, there was a screaming sound in the air, and before the Japanese army could react, more than 200 * had fallen from the sky, blowing up the smoke of gunpowder on the Japanese position.

The power of * was undoubtedly demonstrated on the Japanese position, more than 200 * almost turned over the forward position of the Japanese army, and it is conceivable how heavy the casualties of the Japanese army would be under such bombardment. The Chinese officers and soldiers who had seen the explosion scene were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and in the command post of the 462nd Brigade, Tang Yu smashed his fist on the wall with excitement and shouted: "Great!"

Outside the headquarters of the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army, which was completely different from the excitement of the Chinese side, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo and the officers around him were stunned by the scene in front of them, and after a while, Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo roared angrily: "What kind of weapon is the damn Shina man using, and how can it be so powerful?" But no one could answer his question.

Seeing that the Chinese troops were still advancing towards their positions in the distance, and that the forward positions had been heavily damaged, it was obviously impossible to expect the 210 Wing to successfully block the attack of the Chinese troops. Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo held back the anger in his heart and said to Yoshida Eijiro Osa: "Yoshida-kun, pass on my order, the field artillery wing will open fire immediately, and I will let the people of Shina also taste the taste of being bombed." ”

As soon as the 877th and 878th Regiments, which were on the offensive, received a letter that the rocket artillery battalion would bombard the forward positions of the Japanese army, a scene that people will never forget immediately appeared in front of them. The attacking team was also temporarily halted by the bombardment. The bombing came and ended quickly, and everyone felt that the bombing was over before they had a good time.

After the smoke cleared, there were no shells or blocking bullets on the forward positions of the Japanese army, except for the wailing. The troops began to move forward again, and many people felt very relaxed, in their eyes, under such a bombardment, there were probably not many soldiers left in the Japanese positions who could continue to fight.

Shortly after the troops had advanced, another screeching was heard in the air, but this time from the sky above the Japanese positions. As soon as the experienced officers heard this, they knew that it was the Japanese artillery shells that were flying over, and many exclamations suddenly rang out in the attacking ranks: "Little Japanese shelling, hide quickly!" Before many soldiers could hide themselves, Japanese shells fell.

As soon as the Japanese shells flew over, they were discovered by the observers of the heavy artillery brigade who had been waiting for a long time, and several observers breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said: "It's finally waiting for you!" At the same time, they quickly calculated the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese field artillery positions. After a while, several observers calculated the azimuth coordinates, then grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported the azimuth coordinates to Tang Shanhu, the commander of the 130 Heavy Cannon Regiment.

The 130 Heavy Cannon Regiment has not participated in the bombing of the Japanese position, because Wang Haitao has a clear order, the target of the 130 Heavy Cannon Regiment is the Japanese field artillery position, as long as this field artillery position is found, the 130 Heavy Artillery Regiment will destroy it as soon as possible. Therefore, after Tangshan Tiger sent several observers, he waited for them to transmit back the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese field artillery position.

Now that the azimuth coordinates have finally been transmitted, it means that it is time for their heavy artillery regiment to exert its might. The artillerymen, who had already prepared to open fire, adjusted the muzzle of the cannon as soon as possible, and under the order of Tangshanhu, 50 heavy artillery pieces opened fire one after another. This time, the heavy artillery fired anti-personnel explosive grenades and shells, and the main purpose of this kind of shells was to kill and injure living targets, and the power of a warhead of more than 30 kilograms was stronger than that of large-caliber howitzers and artillery shells.

Lieutenant General Iide Tetsuzo saw his shells fall on the heads of the attacking Chinese troops, and his anger was vented a little, but before he could rejoice, a fierce explosion was heard in the direction of the field artillery position behind him. When he received a report from his subordinates that the field artillery positions were bombarded by the artillery fire of the Chinese army, and the wing suffered heavy losses, he almost didn't vomit out the blood in his heart.

After the 877th and 878th regiments were bombarded by Japanese artillery, although most of the officers and men lay down to avoid the shelling, the bombardment still caused many casualties. However, the Japanese shelling did not last long and completely stopped. Although the two regiment commanders did not understand why the Japanese artillery bombardment had stopped, they still did not let go of this opportunity, so the officers and men of the two regiments jumped up from the ground and rushed to the Japanese positions at a faster speed.

Just when the chariots rushing in front approached the Japanese position, the Japanese position was not densely gunfired, and the advancing chariot naturally did not care about the flying bullets, and the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun roared, suppressing the fire of the Japanese position, and at the same time advancing faster. It didn't take long for the tanks to rush to the Japanese positions. The infantry that followed closely behind the chariot also rushed to the Japanese position with the chariot.

After rushing to the Japanese position, the soldiers knew how powerful the bombardment was just now, the Japanese position was almost red with blood, there were mutilated corpses of the Japanese army everywhere, and some wounded soldiers huddled aside loudly, and there were not many intact soldiers left on the entire position, and there was no fighting spirit at all, it seemed that the bombing just now had destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of these Japanese soldiers.
