New offense, new blow

The former enemy headquarters of the Sixth Corps, commander Chen Geng, had just returned from the field army headquarters. The entire corps, all commanders at and above the regimental level, as if agreed, gathered in the temporary conference room of the headquarters and waited for Commander Chen Geng to announce the specific combat plans of each combat unit tonight.

"Comrades, in accordance with the order of Commander-in-Chief Liu of the Field Army Headquarters, starting this evening, we will give the Japanese troops on the opposite side a completely new way of fighting, try our best to solve the threat of the Japanese air power on the opposite side, our attacking troops, and reduce the casualties of the troops..." Chen Geng first set the tone of the whole meeting and said loudly.

"Commander, last night's main attack mission was robbed by the 16th and 17th armies, and our 18th army didn't even drink a little soup. Tonight's main attack task can always fall on the head of our 18th Army. If we let the Eighteenth Army rest in the rear tonight, then I, the commander, will not be able to go back and explain to the soldiers...."The commander of the Eighteenth Army spoke first, and his words were full of expectation.

Seeing that the words of the commander of the 18th Army had just fallen, the commander of the 16th Army immediately stood up from his seat and wanted to say something. Chen Geng hurriedly pressed his hands, asked everyone to stop talking, and spoke by himself.

"Don't worry, tonight's fight is a new way for us. Therefore, the three armies to which the entire corps belongs, not one of them is missing, and all of them must be involved in me. However, the main attack task, in the words of Commander Zhang of the Eighteenth Army, even if it is his turn, it should be his turn today. Therefore, for the main attack, your other two armies, don't fight anymore..."

When I saw everyone's faces, I instantly showed a look of excitement. He followed with a pair of expectant eyes, waiting for his own order. Chen Geng didn't let everyone wait too long, and directly commanded.

"Now I order: The Eighteenth Army, under the personal command of Zhang Junzhang, with the support of the rear artillery group, will launch a counterattack at ten o'clock in the evening on time, and must recapture the positions that our army voluntarily abandoned during the day from the Japanese in the shortest possible time. After completing the mission, they continued to launch a small-scale assault on the third line of the Japanese army. My request is very simple, I don't ask you to occupy the entire third line, you only need to open a few breaches in the third line of defense of the Japanese army, and then send heavy troops to defend him, creating a situation where the positions of the enemy and us are intertwined..."

"The 16th and 17th armies, under my personal command, accepted the Japanese positions occupied by the 18th Army at the first time. Then, the construction of the position began... Specific tasks are assigned in this way......"

An hour later, the artillery cluster of the East China Field Army, which had been silent for a whole day, once again let out a deafening sound of shelling. Although the Japanese troops, who had recaptured their positions, learned the lessons of the previous night and spread their forces as much as possible. However, there was no shelter to hide in the vicinity, and the artillery fire of the artillery cluster belonging to the Sixth Corps was too fierce. After less than ten minutes of shelling, the Japanese troops who held their positions once again paid hundreds of casualties ....

"Order the 154th Regiment to launch an attack immediately, and within half an hour, take the forward position of the Japanese army...."As soon as the artillery sound stopped, the commander of the 18th Army in charge of the main attack showed a bloodthirsty look on his face, and ordered with an excited face.

"Yes, Commander..."

"A battalion, rush with me..."

"Machine gunner, shoot right away, suppress the little devil's rifleman..."

"Bazooka, quick, knock out the enemy's fire......"

"Grenadier, are you blind and don't see the enemy's machine guns. Quick, blow it up for me..."

All of a sudden, the sound of dense gunfire, grenade explosions, and shouts of soldiers began to sound on the battlefield. A main attack battalion, more than 500 commanders and fighters, like agile monkeys, quickly broke through to the forward positions of the Japanese army with superior firepower in their hands...

Perhaps the Japanese had no idea of holding their positions at all, and just wanted to delay time with this line of defense.

As a result, the whole attack took only half an hour, and the position was once again trampled under the feet of the soldiers.

In the headquarters of the former enemy of the Japanese army, the commander of the brigade of the major general had not yet reacted to the sudden attack of the East China Field Army, and the chief of staff of the brigade and regiment spoke first. ..., "Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, the people of China, is the East China Field Army crazy?" The day's fighting, coupled with last night's attack, cost the opposite China at least 10,000 casualties. In the face of such heavy casualties, they attacked us again. Don't they know that with our army's absolute air superiority, such an offensive will not play any role at all, except for constantly depleting their own forces and increasing casualties? ”。

"Chief of Staff, I don't know what the cunning Shina thinks. However, since they are not afraid of casualties, we will increase their casualties as much as we can, until we beat them to the point where they cannot bear them. Pass my order, all troops, according to the predetermined battle plan, to block. Remember, after taking advantage of our strategic depth and killing and wounding a large number of Chinese troops, the various combat units can retreat in an orderly manner without the need for hard fighting...."The corner of the brigade commander's mouth quickly flashed a sneer, and he ordered very resolutely.

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander..."

However, to the surprise of the brigade commander, the next battle did not develop as he imagined. Their own troops did not achieve the expected results.

Because, the East China Field Army, which successfully recovered the two lines of defense, never launched even one regimental charge. Instead, they concentrated all their firepower and attacked one or two points on the position.

Although, the imperial troops holding their positions were scattered as much as possible to avoid the damage of artillery fire. However, the shells fired by hundreds of large-caliber guns were all concentrated on this section of the position with a width of less than 100 meters, and the intensity of their shelling can be imagined...

In five minutes of shelling, almost every square meter of position had to be baptized by at least one shell. When the artillery fire began to extend, as far as the eye could see, this position seemed to have been turned over. Of course, the little devils who stuck to this position, in such a dense artillery fire, were also blown up and there were no bones left...

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the artillery fire of the Chinese is so fierce that our troops can't rush up at all... The position, the position was broken through by the Chinese people...."Seeing that there was almost no obstruction, the East China Field Army rushed to the position very easily. However, his own reinforcements could not advance or retreat because of the fierce interception firepower of the East China Field Army. The face of the chief of staff of the brigade once again showed an anxious look and exclaimed loudly.

"Don't worry, although the East China Field Army has changed its tactics, it is impossible for their firepower to be maintained like this. Unless they don't plan to go on the offensive tonight. The 3rd Infantry Brigade, in small units, was ordered to constantly launch counterattacks and attract enemy artillery fire. As long as it drags on until dawn, the entire battlefield will become our world again..."

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander is wise...."

The thoughts of the commander of the Japanese brigade really coincided with reality. In the face of the continuous counterattacks of the Japanese army, the artillery cluster of the Sixth Corps really put most of its firepower on intercepting the Japanese counterattack troops.

However, what surprised the commander of the Japanese brigade was. Although his counterattack force succeeded in attracting artillery fire from the Sixth Corps, the Sixth Corps, because there was no artillery reinforcement, temporarily lost its offensive capability. However, the East China Field Army, which had successfully occupied the Japanese positions and intersected with the Japanese positions, was not idle.

Under the command of their respective commanders, with the help of the cover of artillery fire in front, a group of soldiers vigorously waved the sapper shovels in their hands on the positions that had been blown to the ground, and quickly threw the soil of the spades under their feet to both sides of the trenches...... In less than an hour, with the efforts of tens of thousands of officers and men, trenches appeared on the battlefield.

Of course, it is impossible for a single corps of hundreds of thousands of troops to gather here to dig trenches. The entire corps, except for the two armies, spared no effort to wield the sapper shovels in their hands. There is also a corps of troops, which is constantly transporting tree trunks with the thickness of bowls from the rear woods to the front and covering the trenches...

The entire battlefield, except for the constant sound of shell explosions in front, tells everyone that this is a battlefield. The whole rear, like a huge construction site, is unusually busy...

Time passed slowly in this way with the explosion of shells. In the blink of an eye, the dark night slowly became brighter, and the sound of artillery that had been resounding all night stopped. The entire battlefield was surprisingly plunged into a brief period of silence.

In the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, the commander of the major general brigade did not feel any joy because the East China Field Army did not attack in the second half of the night. Because, as an old Kwantung Army officer who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a certain understanding of his opponent. He faintly felt that behind the shelling in the second half of the night, the East China Field Army on the opposite side must be hiding a huge conspiracy, a huge conspiracy against himself.

"Your Excellency the brigade commander, the dawn is over, the artillery bombardment of the East China Field Army is over, and the moment for the counteroffensive of our Kwantung Army has finally arrived...."

However, unexpectedly, in the face of the excited subordinates in front of him, the brigade commander did not show any smile on his face, and then said with a worried face.

"Chief of Staff, I always feel that things are not that simple. Since the East China Field Army has changed its offensive plan, how could they not launch an attack in the second half of the night. Don't they know that only the night belongs to them? And as soon as it dawns, they will be dealt a devastating blow by the air power of our army ...."
