Chapter 278: The Offensive Begins
Weng Zhaoyuan frowned and looked at the sand table in front of him, Xie Jinyuan stood next to Weng Zhaoyuan, pointed to the sand table and said, "Now the main force of the 11th Brigade of the Yue Army has been pressed on all fronts!" It seems that Gu Shoufu wants to concentrate the main force to capture Baoding first! ”
Weng Zhaoyuan nodded noncommittally and said, "It seems that what the general seat said is really right, this Gu Shoufu is really crazy!" Order the 204th Division to hold its position at all costs! Ordered the 201st Division and the 208th Division to launch an attack on the Ushishima Brigade and contain the Ushijima Brigade. Ordered the assault troops to launch an attack this afternoon, the 209th Division and the 208th Division, and then followed up, taking Xushui in one fell swoop and cutting off the 6th Division! ”
"Yes!" Xie Jinyuan responded, and then turned around to convey the order.
Weng Zhaoyuan raised his head and glanced at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, and the excitement in his heart was irrepressible.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, when the Garbage Well Brigade of the Yue Army was storming Baoding, the 201st Division and the 208th Division of the 26th Group Army launched a fierce attack on the Niu Dao Manchurian Brigade from the north and west respectively. The 26 th Flying Group dispatched more than 30 warplanes to bombard the positions of the Japanese troops, and at the same time, hundreds of artillery pieces on the ground fired in unison to violently bombard the positions of the Japanese troops, and soon the positions of the Japanese troops were set on fire. The heavy bombardment lasted more than an hour.
Subsequently, Song Jiang, commander of the 101st Army, issued a general attack order, and the main forces of the 201st and 208th Divisions of more than 20,000 people attacked on all fronts and launched a charge against the positions of the Yue Army under the cover of 30 tanks.
Looking at the overwhelming Chinese army rushing up, the army rushed to the battle. Before the war, Ushijima Mitsuru swore that with the strength of one of his brigades, it was enough to defeat the three divisions of the Shina people, but when our army's offensive began, Ushijima Mitsuru realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. The Chinese army's offensive lasted only two hours, and the front line was in a hurry, and several positions had already been breached.
At this time, Ushijima's face was already covered with a layer of cold sweat, "Baga Yalu!" Okamoto is a stupid pig, and the strength of a wing can't stop the troops of a division of the Zhinamen! Such a waste should be disemboweled, and His Majesty the Emperor should apologize! Ushijima roared loudly. Under the all-out attack of our 201st Division, the defense line of the Juma River was already in jeopardy.
The chief of staff hurriedly walked forward and persuaded, "Your Excellency, General! The Okamoto Wing now has only two brigades, but it has to defend the defense line of dozens of miles along the Juma River, and the strength is really insufficient, so I propose that the fourth brigade be placed under the command of the Okamoto Wing to prevent the Shina Army from breaking through the defense line of the Juma River. ”
Ushijima pondered for a moment, the reason why there was only one brigade left in the Okamoto Wing was because the other brigade had already been completely wiped out in Dingxing and Gaobeidian. As a result, the strength of the Okamoto Wing was indeed seriously under-strengthened. Before, Ushijima Mitsuru didn't expect the attack of the Shina people to be so fierce, so he didn't realize this problem, but judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the strength of the two brigades to hold the defense line of the Juma River. In the end, Ushijima nodded and said, "Then transfer the fourth brigade to the front line of the Juma River!" "In fact, it is still very difficult for Ushijima to make this decision, because once the fourth brigade is transferred, there will be no reserves in his hands, and if the front line is tight again, then Ushijima can only organize the troops directly under the brigade to participate in the war.
"Report! The assault force has arrived at the attack site and is ready to attack! A staff officer walked up to Weng Zhaoyuan and said loudly.
Weng Zhaoyuan raised his wrist, glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction, "Order the assault troops to launch an attack on time at two o'clock in the afternoon!" The flight group was ordered to fully assist the assault troops, bomb the positions of the Japanese troops, and clear the way for the ground forces. ”
"Yes!" The staff officer gave a solemn military salute to Weng Zhaoyuan, and then turned to leave.
Suicheng Town is located in the west of Xushui County, which was originally just a peaceful town, but yesterday hundreds of soldiers suddenly broke into the town, completely breaking the peace of the town. After the little devil came, he killed people when he saw them, and robbed them when he saw them. The peaceful town turned into a living purgatory in an instant, with nearly 1,000 innocent civilians slaughtered and other residents fleeing for their lives. At this time, except for a few hundred little devils left in the town, the blood stains everywhere on the ground proved that yesterday's scene was not a dream, but a cruel reality. However, the corpses of the civilians who were slaughtered have been disposed of by the little devils, and now the devils are hurrying to build fortifications in the town.
At 1:50 p.m., dozens of fighter planes suddenly appeared over the town, and the little devils immediately hid in the temporary fortifications in a panic, looking at the Chinese eagles in the sky in fear.
"Brethren! Below is the town of Sui, where hundreds of compatriots were killed by the little devils yesterday! Now there is no one left in the town, only a few hundred brutes with the blood of my compatriots on their hands! Brethren! What do you think we're going to do with these brutes! The angry voice of Li Jiayi, the captain of the second [***] team, came from the public channel.
"Kill all these beasts!"
"Blow them up!"
"Avenge the slain of your compatriots!"
The pilots shouted loudly. Li Jiayi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!" Free Attack! Let the little devils know that I am powerful in the Fujian Air Force! ”
With Li Jiayi's order, a piercing whistling sound immediately sounded in the sky, and one after another silver-white fighters swooped down towards the town below, and then one after another swarthy bombs landed accurately in the town.
"Boom! Rumble! "The deafening explosions sounded one after another, and the houses in the town collapsed in the explosion, and some of the little devils hiding in the houses were buried directly in the rubble. Some of the little devils ran out of the collapsing house in a panic, and they were greeted by blazing tongues of fire. Just when dozens of fighters of the third [***] team were bombing and strafing the town to their heart's content. Dust rose from the dirt road to the west, and a palpitating rumbling sound could be heard in the distance, and the earth began to tremble slightly.
One after another, the black steel monsters rushed out of the smoke and dust and rushed towards the direction of the town. The eagle in the sky saw the tiger on the ground appear, flapped its wings proudly, and then flew towards the east.
The bombing was over, but before the surviving imps could react, the rolling torrent of steel had already rushed into the town. (To be continued.) )
