Chapter 1001 Stud Attack!

Takashi Takamori, Seiichi Aoki and Masao Watanabe were all silent.

In terms of losses, the 11th Division was the largest, and before it came to attack the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army, the 1st Division had already been killed, and an infantry wing and an infantry brigade had been heavily damaged.

The 40th Division and the 56th Division also suffered heavy losses, especially the 40th Division, which suffered several thousand casualties each.

The 56th Division suffered minimal casualties.

In the end, Takashi Takashi took the lead in calming down, and when it came to this part, there was no point in caring about this.

Ying Sen Xiao glanced at everyone with a hint of tyranny in his cold eyes: "Although the casualties of the locust army are large, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is not much better. ”

Just then, there was a buzzing sound in the sky.

The planes of the Eighth Route Army arrived.

Not long after, the sound of planes diving, as well as the sound of rumbling explosions, was heard not far away.

Japanese units were bombed.

Although the infantry and artillery of the Japanese army, as well as the various units, were scattered and hidden.

But in this plain terrain, where can you hide if you have excellent visual conditions?

Under the circumstance that the Eighth Route Army has absolute air superiority, in the face of the Eighth Route Army's aircraft aerial bombs and incendiary bombs, it can only reduce casualties, but it is impossible to avoid casualties.

As for the Japanese command, it was relatively safe.

The entire headquarters consisted of sappers with civil fortifications, a circular fortress with the same color on the top and the ground.

Even pilots with good eyesight would not be able to detect that this was the headquarters of the Japanese army.

Of course.

In such a short period of time, it was impossible for the devil's sappers to build too many such fortifications, and most of the soldiers still took refuge in the open air.

Takashi stepped on the ladder and glanced at the bombing of the Eighth Route Army planes in the distance.

In this wave of bombardment, there were some locust soldiers with jade shatters, his cheeks twitched slightly, and the gloomy expression on his face became deeper and deeper.

After a pause, Takashi Takashi continued: "The planes used by the Eighth Route Army to support the Jinju battlefield in the air are about 80! Two waves of bombing in the morning and two waves of bombing in the afternoon, the next time the planes of the Eighth Route Army arrive should be three hours later, and within three hours, we must defeat the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, otherwise it will be a failure! ”

The faces of the devil officers suddenly showed solemn expressions.

"Eagle Sen-kun, I suggest that the troops rest and wait for the evening to attack again, or attack again tomorrow morning."

Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe suggested in a deep voice.

They arrived here last night after a 50-kilometer march from Shimen City and Zhengding, and the Japanese soldiers were already exhausted.

After fighting with the Eighth Route Army here for most of the day, many soldiers were already very tired.

The soldiers of the 11th Division A Division are well-trained, and they can withstand this kind of high-intensity rapid march and battle at present.

However, many recruits of the 40th and 56th Divisions were on the verge of collapse.

"I also advise the troops to rest."

Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki also said in a dignified voice:

"If it were our three divisions, at the peak of their combat power, they might have defeated the Eighth Route Army!"

"Can't rest! There is absolutely no rest! ”

Takashi waved his hand, held the handle of the lieutenant general's sword tightly with his left hand, and said undoubtedly:

"Although Shimen City and Zhengding are still in the hands of the Locust Army and the Locust Army, Sun Liangcheng promised to hold Shimen City and Zhengding for two days, but you and I are very clear that Sun Liangcheng's Locust Alliance Army and a small number of locust army's defense line will be broken through tomorrow at the latest, and when the Eighth Route Army attacks from our rear, we will no longer have a chance to eat the opposite Eighth Route Army, which will be greatly unfavorable to General Okamura's plan to completely annihilate the entire battle situation of the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"As for night battles, night battles are the Eighth Route Army's forte, and fighting night battles is very unfavorable to the Locust Army."

"What's more, according to the experience of the Zhengtai Campaign, even if it is a night battle, the Eighth Route Army can call for air support."

"So."

"We must defeat the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong before it gets dark!"

Listening to Takashi Takamori's analysis, Seiichi Aoki and Masao Watanabe were silent for a moment.

The current situation is very unoptimistic for the locusts army and is imminent.

Only by defeating the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong on the opposite side, the balance of victory may be tilted towards the side of the locusts.

"Eagle Sen-kun, in that case, how do you say you will attack next?"

Aoki Seiichi also shook the lieutenant general's sword in his hand and asked in a deep voice.

It's a matter of success or failure!

Although Masao Watanabe didn't speak, there was a touch of firmness in his eyes.

Takashi glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Since the next wave of air support from the Eighth Route Army will not arrive until three hours later..."

"Then, let's concentrate all the artillery fire of the artillery wings of the three divisions and regiments and attack the main position of the Eighth Route Army!"

"As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the cavalry wing of our division immediately rushed to the main position of the Eighth Route Army, and then went straight to the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Then the infantry pressed on it again."

"At the same time, your two divisions will attack the position of the Eighth Route Army from the left and right flanks!"

Seiichi Aoki and Masao Watanabe were suddenly startled, and looked at Takashi Takashi Takamori in disbelief.

Concentrate all the artillery fire of the artillery wings of the three divisions and regiments, and the Eighth Route Army had air support ... It's ten, extreme, ten, dangerous and risky.

In the unlikely event that the artillery wings of the three divisions and regiments were firing their artillery, the planes of the Eighth Route Army suddenly arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Then send the ace cavalry wing in his hand.

The eyes of the two looked at Takashi Takashi Takami Takami Takashi Takami Takashi Takami Takami Ta

The two instantly understood that Takamori was preparing for stud.

……

With the order of the Japanese command was quickly issued.

The devil summed up his experience and quickly adjusted his offensive tactics.

The 75-mm mountain guns and 75-mm field guns, scattered all over the place, began to assemble in large groups, and then quickly formed artillery positions.

The artillery literacy of the Japanese army was extremely high, especially the 11th Wing of the Mountain Artillery of the 11th Division.

This artillery wing was armed with 12 75-mm mountain guns and 36 75-mm field guns.

The 40th Division and the 56th Division were each equipped with 36 75-mm mountain guns.

In the Battle of Zhengtai half a year ago, the mountain artillery wing of the 40th Division and the 56th Division was almost completely lost.

Fortunately, many devil artillery did not have jade pieces, and the base camp replenished the North China Front with troops, weapons and ammunition, and added some artillery and mountain artillery to the 40th Division and the 56th Division.

The preparation time of the 40th Artillery Wing and the 56th Artillery Wing was a little slower than that of the 11th Artillery Division.

However, half an hour after the order was given, preparations for the shelling were completed.

"Fire!"

After the test firing of 3 shells.

On the artillery positions of the Japanese army, as the command gave the order to open the artillery, the flag commander of the devil suddenly put down the mini plaster flag in his hand.

"Tom tom tom..."

On the artillery positions of the Japanese troops, there was a loud and muffled sound of continuous and rapid noise.

Fireworks from the muzzles of the guns continued to emerge, and the wind swept through, raising circles of dust and mist.

On the sixth artillery position, the devil artillerymen of the 11th Brigade of the 1st Artillery Wing were busy in an orderly manner.

The 12 94-type mountain guns were divided into two columns and lined up, and the muzzles of the guns pointed in the direction of the main position of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong.

The muzzles of the 12 Type 94 mountain guns lined up in two lines flashed one after another, and 12 75-millimeter shells rose into the sky, cutting arcs in the sky, and then fell towards the position of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

A total of 10 such Japanese artillery positions, at the same time, began saturation shelling of the main position of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

But.

In the previous bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, the devils lost some mountain artillery and field artillery, and not every artillery position had 12 guns.

"Boom, boom..."

One after another, like an overwhelming explosion, rose on the main position of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.

In the roaring explosion, the forward position of the Eighth Route Army rolled up a large pile of dirt, and the forward position was suddenly plunged into fireball and gunsmoke.

And that's not all.

After the devil's artillery cover of the forward positions of the main position of the Eighth Route Army, the devil's artillery fire began to extend to the deep positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Billowing smoke spread out with the shock wave, rolling up a puff of dirt and sand, and a deafening roar exploded above the warriors' heads.

Although the power of 75-mm mountain artillery and field artillery was not very large, the destructive power was very strong, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army increased sharply.

……

"The devil is ready to fight hard?"

Listening to the deafening and incessant roar of explosions coming from the direction of the main position, District Chief Lu, the number one commander of the Jizhong Military Region, frowned, looked at the communications staff officer and asked:

"Have you requested air support from the General Command at the front?"

Not long after the sound of the cannon, District Chief Lu judged that the devil had definitely used the three artillery wings in a centralized manner.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the communications department to request air support from the headquarters of the new regiment in secret language.

The concentrated use of three artillery wings by the devils will inevitably cause heavy casualties to the troops in Jizhong.

But at the same time, the devil's artillery unit also showed flaws, and this is definitely an opportunity to take out the devil's three artillery wings!

The devils lacked anti-aircraft firepower, lacked camouflage nets, concentrated the use of artillery, and were nothing more than live targets under the fighters and attack aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

"Air support has been requested, and the front command has replied that air support will arrive in about 25 minutes."

The communications staff officer replied.

District Chief Lu raised his binoculars, looked at the shelling not far away, the fire of the explosion was reflected on the lenses of the telescope, he put down the telescope and asked, "How long will it take for the new main force to arrive?" ”

"There's about an hour and a half to go!"

The communications staff officer replied:

"The interspersed troops of the new regiment have reached the northern area, sealing the passage for the devils to advance north."

District Chief Lu's expression softened slightly.

This wave of devils is ready to fight hard, and the Jizhong troops must also use all their strength to deal with it.

Fortunately, the main forces of the new regiment were about to arrive, and the interspersed troops were already in place.

When Li Yunlong arrives with a new group of main forces, it will be the end of this group of devils!

Right now.

What the Jizhong troops have to do is not to be defeated by the devils within an hour and a half!

……

On the road from the city of Seomun to the battlefield of Jinju.

The Jiefang car, which is not in sight, is marching in the direction of the Jinju battlefield.

In the tail of some cars, 1 122-mm howitzer was towed.

Cars carrying 122-mm howitzers were loaded with infantry and shells.

In addition to more than 200 tanks and armored vehicles, there are several dozen Katyusha rocket artillery vehicles.

In addition to the motorized troops, there were also five cavalry battalions of the new regiment, which quickly followed, and the strength of these five cavalry battalions was comparable to that of a cavalry division.

The lineup is luxurious!

Li Yunlong was sitting in an open-top jeep, with two combat staff officers sitting next to him, and Huang Erhu as the driver.

A radio detective car in front stopped, and Huang Erhu also hurriedly stopped the jeep.

The double rear doors of the telecommunications car opened, and Chief of Staff Wang Dehou jumped down, walked to the jeep door, saluted and reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the regiment commander, just now the command of the Jizhong Military Region has requested air support from our department. ”

"Air support?" Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly, "The devil has started attacking again?" ”

Wang Dehou said: "The devils have concentrated three artillery wings and implemented artillery fire coverage to the main position of the Jizhong troops, and I have arranged an independent fighter squadron to take off immediately to support." ”

Li Yunlong nodded, there was nothing wrong with Wang Dehou's arrangement.

In the morning, the new regiment's separate fighter squadron singled out a squadron of fighters and bombers.

and annihilated them all, while the independent fighter squadron did not suffer a single casualty.

The squadron of independent fighters has long been ready for another sortie.

As soon as the order of the regimental headquarters was issued, the independent fighter squadron immediately took off, and at the speed of the Sabre fighters at full power, they rushed to the Jinju battlefield for less than half an hour.

"The devil knows that our Eighth Route Army has air superiority, and he dares to concentrate artillery fire and cover the positions of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei."

"This shows that the devil is going to fight hard."

Li Yunlong's eyebrows showed a solemnity.

Now it depends on whether the troops of the Jizhong Military Region can block the all-out blow of the devils of the three divisions, including a division of the first division!

can withstand this tough battle, if the equipment can keep up, the Jizhong troops can definitely become the main force like the 129th Division!

"Commander, I have a doubt."

Wang Dehou said.

"What do you have to wonder, boy?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"We're only about 25 kilometers away from the Jinju battlefield."

"But the devil didn't run away, and continued to attack the Jizhong troops."

"Don't the devils know that Shimen City and Zhengding have been lost? Don't the devils know the mobility of our new regiment of the Eighth Route Army? ”

"I think it's weird."

Wang Dehou expressed the doubts in his heart, and his face also showed doubts.

With a distance of 25 kilometers and good road conditions, if Li Yunlong hadn't prepared to let the large army arrive together, the cavalry of the new regiment would have reached the Jinju battlefield in just one hour with a charge.

"That's a bit weird." Li Yunlong nodded and asked, "Are you worried that the devil will have any conspiracy?" ”

According to common sense, Shimen City and Zhengding were lost, and the backs of the 11th Division, the 40th Division and the 56th Division were exposed to the Eighth Route Army.

And the maneuverability of the Eighth Route Army, on the plain terrain, the devil is also very clear.

However, the devil not only did not run, but also wanted to stud to attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, with a posture of swearing to death.

It's weird.

"Not really." Wang Dehou said, "The Jinzhou battlefield is dozens of kilometers in radius, and it is all under the monitoring of our reconnaissance planes, and if the devils have an ambush, they will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of our reconnaissance planes." ”

"Then don't overthink it." Li Yunlong's expression was solemn, "Order the troops to speed up the march, we have to hurry up and harvest the corn!" ”

Wang Dehou: "Yes! ”
