Thick black clouds overturned the entire battlefield, and in the trenches covered with the smell of death, the soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army covered in dust silently wiped their bayonets, sorted out their bullet bags, and made the final preparations before attacking.

In a low, dimly lit house behind the position, the horse lanterns hanging from the walls flickered and trembled with the occasional cannon fire in the distance.

General Xue Yue's Hendong Corps has issued an operational order to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and the 301st Regiment has also received a new operational order, that is, to cooperate with friendly troops to attack Neihuangcheng at all costs and complete the task of annihilating the Japanese army.

The brethren of the 74th Army had been training all winter, and it had been a week since they arrived on the battlefield from Hubei, and most of them had been fighting tug-of-war with the Japanese army in the trenches in a short period of time, and there had been no large-scale fighting, which made them not enjoy fighting.

And now they are going to act together with the entire Eastern Henan Corps, to annihilate the elite of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, which is arrogantly advancing on a large scale, and all the brothers are extremely excited.

Regiment Commander Zhang Handuo had a straight uniform, his riding boots were shining, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, conveying the combat orders from the military headquarters, and all the officers above the platoon level who gathered at the temporary regiment headquarters also boiled their blood in their bones as the orders were read.

"Did you hear the order clearly!?" The head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, closed the folder, swept his sharp gaze over the officers in the room, and asked aloud.

"At all costs! Go all out to get into the inner yellow! ”

The officers in the room answered neatly, their voices confident and loud, and the low houses were so shaken that dust fell from them.

The brothers had waited too long for this day, they had been losing and losing cities to the Japanese, they had fought countless defeats, but now they were going to take the initiative to attack, to take the initiative to annihilate the Japanese divisions.

"Brethren! The Sichuan army troops are blood-stained in Teng County, they are bloody and not afraid of death! Chief Li's troops were able to annihilate more than 10,000 little devils in Taierzhuang, and they showed the prestige of our Chinese soldiers! Our Central Army is not a bad breed! This time, we must go all out to annihilate the Soil Fat Circle Division! Raise the prestige of our army! Boost my morale! ”

Although the troops commanded by General Li Zongren won a great victory in Taierzhuang and eliminated more than 10,000 devils, it was a pity that they were not completely annihilated in the end.

This time they are also eager to fight a big battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese divisions, and fight a big victory that shocks the whole country, so that the friendly brothers can also see, and let the people of the whole country see that their central army is not useless in the show, but the mainstay of the anti-Japanese battlefield!

"Okay, disband, attack in half an hour!"

Seeing that the morale of the officers was high, the regiment commander Zhang Handuo did not say much, waved his hand, and announced the disbandment.

The officers rushed out, and soon went straight to their respective companies, disappearing into the darkness, Yang Ling also said goodbye to the regiment commander Zhang Handuo, and went straight to his third battalion, although the regimental headquarters was the second battalion to act together.

The battle was very different from the past, now the Japanese 14th Division occupied the Longhai Line and was attacking the area west of Xuzhou, while Yangling's combat mission was to advance in the direction of the Japanese attack, which was a very risky attack, unlike the previous defense.

On the one hand, it is the elite 14th Division of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, it is the Yudong Corps, which gathers countless elite troops of the Central Army.

The battlefield was still dead silent, and the scorched earth battlefield illuminated by the occasional rising flare was a miserable white, and Yang Ling walked along the trenches, past the trenches crowded with the brothers, patting the brothers on the shoulders all the way, silently encouraging them.

Yang Ling soon arrived at the forward position, where he could see the Japanese troops on the opposite side erecting barbed wire and deep trenches, from which their three battalions would attack.

It was an unreserved offensive operation, in which the entire regiment participated, and even the cooks and paperwork were incorporated into the combat companies.

In addition to the 301st Regiment, units of the entire 74th Army have also arrived at the designated attack positions, and they will join General Song Xilian's troops in attacking from the southern front.

In the rest of the directions, there are elite attack troops, such as Gui Yongqing's troops, Li Hansoul's troops, etc., all of which are armed to the teeth, and the 14th Division has become a turtle in the urn and will encounter a thunderous blow.

The waiting was tormenting, the time passed minute by minute, Yang Ling had not been so excited and excited for a long time, he checked his gun and bullets again and again, raised his watch, and saw that the hour hand had pointed to nine o'clock with the help of the Japanese army's flares.

"All ready!" Yang Ling's calm voice sounded in the trenches, and there was a small sound of fragmentation in the trenches, and everyone was loaded with bullets.

"Whoa—"

A red flare swayed into the sky, followed by a rumbling sound.

A burst of white light flashed on the horizon, countless sounds of breaking the air were heard overhead, and the overwhelming shells dragged the long line of fire towards the Japanese position.

Two hours of artillery preparation was enough to blow up the Japanese positions in front of them, and in fact it was true, concentrating the artillery fire of the entire army, and even the reinforced concrete fortifications could not bear it.

Bursts of exploding flames lit up from the Japanese positions, and soon the entire Japanese positions turned into a sea of fire, and the entire night sky was illuminated red.

In the flames of the explosion, the rotten wood, mutilated limbs, steel helmets, and sandbags on the Japanese position were lifted into the sky by the ferocious air waves, and the Japanese position fell into a hell of fire.

The dense brothers lying in the trenches looked at the miserable situation of the Japanese position, without any pity or sympathy, and they wanted to blow up these little devils to the sky.

The scorching heat of the explosion swept in, and the entire buffer zone was filled with gunsmoke and mud, and the smoke was billowing out, and the brothers' vision was gradually obscured, but the flash of the explosion could still be seen in the smoke.

The artillery fire was extending into the depth of the Japanese positions, and in the deafening sound of artillery fire, the roars of the officers rang out in the trenches: "Attack!" Sortie! ”

The order to attack resounded through the battlefield in the darkness, and the swarthy trenches were crowded, as if the trenches had life, and the dense brethren climbed out of the trenches and threw themselves towards the Japanese positions that were caught in flames.
