November 1st, early in the morning.

A layer of mist was shattered directly by the footsteps of the army. The devil's yellow military uniform was slowly revealed in the dust raised.

The 116th Division began to cross the Yellow River early, and the 16th Division responded on the opposite bank, erected three pontoon bridges, and the brigade passed quickly. Gather in the area with Lanfeng.

The 13th Division lost more than 3,000 men in Xuzhou, and the 104th Wing was almost destroyed by a heavy artillery group outside Xuzhou, and the Mountain Artillery Wing also did not pull out a single one. Although nearly half of the losses were lost, the combat effectiveness of the 13th Division could not be underestimated. After they crossed Huangkou, they got on the train that the 10th Division received and arrived at Shangqiu together.

The two men attacked on time when the sun had just jumped out of the ground.

"The devil can't wait to run to death!" Hu Minghe smiled heartily.

Opposite his brigade was the 10th Division, an old opponent, and they had lost their armor two or three times. However, yesterday, the attack of those recruits of the 10th Division who were not afraid of death surprised him. The kind of attack that does not cost the casualties is really a headache. The dense wall of people lined up by devils, if it weren't for the large number of machine guns in the vanguard army, I am afraid that they would have been pushed forward. But in the end, a metal barrage of cold bullets covered the wall.

It's just that today, the devil is going to line up the wall again?

He said that he had gathered ten kilometers away early, where the firepower of the vanguard army was at its limit. That kind of gun of about 75 mm can sometimes fall, but the accuracy is much off.

The first to fight a duel are the knights of the sky.

More than 60 planes took off from the airports in Zhengzhou and Xinxiang, more than a dozen of them from Taiyuan. Their purpose was not to attack, but to determine, so that the aircraft of the vanguard army could not participate in the attack on the ground. At this time, the devils were particularly sensitive to the screams of the dive of the vanguard planes, whether it was cluster bombs or thunderbolts, the large-caliber machine guns made many devils wake up in the middle of the night.

For this attack, the planes of the devil Nanjing also ran to the battlefield on the southern front to disturb and contain them, so as to minimize the air attack of the vanguard army. Their plane surname can not be good, and they can only take a containment.

In the step-by-step advance of the devils, the confrontation on the ground also began, the artillery of both sides fired at each other, and the heavy artillery of the 10th Division was not replenished much, only three Type 92 105 cannons. The other 75 and 70 guns were far from being a match for the ZIS-3 guns, but the artillery skills of the devils were really good. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.

"The men of the 13th Division have also come up!" After Hu Minghe heard the investigators' report, his face became a little solemn. When the 13th Division was in Nanjing, it had already fought with them, and almost all of Hu Minghe's regiment was sacrificed at that time, and only he and Li Tiexia and dozens of other people ran out with the help of the vanguard army.

"I'll settle the reckoning with you today!" Hu Minghe hated that for the 13th Division, one of the executioners of the Nanjing Massacre, Meng Xiang's opinion was still not to leave prisoners, and Hu Minghe was resolutely implementing it.

The artillery bombardment lasted for a long time, and there were casualties on each side.

A team of devils rushed up, Hu Minghe couldn't help but pout, that manpower was the devil's cannon fodder striker, specially to test the firepower.

But this trick didn't seem to have much effect on the vanguard, and a few large-caliber machine gun shots turned those cannon fodder into meat sauce.

"This time, it's time for the devil to come for real, right?" Hu Minghe grinned.

At this time, Zhang Lingfu, who was standing on the front line, looked into the distance with a solemn face, and the dust when the devil was marching was swept into the sky and rolled in.

"The devil is really moving this time, and there are so many people coming. If the collective rush over like yesterday at dusk, which is not afraid of death, the bullets will not have time to hit. Zhang Lingfu once again looked at the three lines of defense in front of him, where most of the machine guns in the brigade were concentrated, and it had reached two per squad.

In the past, Zhang Lingfu was very disdainful of this method of only relying on the accumulation of bullets, but after seeing the ghost's man-wall charge, only this kind of dense shooting was the most effective.

"It's better to have long-range and close-range attacks together!"

Zhang Lingfu thought as he looked back at the position in the distance behind him.

"Like a tidal wave, it will overturn them all in one fell swoop." Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, the newly appointed commander of the 16th Division, was not so cautious with the vanguard army, but Lieutenant General Kishige Shimizu, commander of the 116th Division, was more cautious. The huge death brought about by yesterday's impact also made his heart tremble, but if not, I am afraid that he will not be able to break through the defense line of the vanguard army. Yesterday, when it was close to dusk, he almost broke through the defense line of the vanguard army, and even the brigade commander of the vanguard army jumped out and ran to the front line to personally participate in the attack.

It seems that today also needs to rush through with all one blow.

The devil's troops are still slowly leaning forward.

Infantry combat, don't look at the devil's 38 rifle can hit 2,300 meters, but in the actual engagement, if more than 400 meters without the help of a scope, ordinary soldiers can only rely on luck and feeling if they want to hit a person. Therefore, it is precisely because the effective damage distance of the rifle is 200-300 meters that the rise of the assault rifle came later.

Even with machine guns, the effective damage range generally does not exceed 800 meters. If you are hit beyond this value, it can only mean that you are unlucky.

The estimated safety distance of the MG-42 heavy machine gun given by Kishige Shimizu to the vanguard army is 1,200 meters. A dense rain of bullets sprayed over, and it was easy to encounter stray bullets from a distance.

"The front of the enemy army has entered 1500 meters, and the main forces have also entered the attack range!" The reconnaissance plane flying in the air evaded the harassment of the devil plane while reporting, but soon a lightning plane relieved him.

"The fire attack is ready to begin!" Hearing the prompt, Zhang Lingfu also paid attention to the position behind him, where the first round of attacks would be launched.

As soon as Zhang Lingfu raised his wrist and looked at the time, a red flame that was more dazzling than the morning sun swept through the position of the vanguard army and sprinkled towards the core of the devil team that was still in a state of assembly on the opposite side. For a moment, it was like the brilliance of a meteor shower, which made everyone lose their minds for a while, but then it was a thunderous and roaring wave of air that rushed to their ears, shaking everyone's eardrums like a hundred tigers running together.

Like a rain of shattered stars pouring down from the heavenly river, the positions of the devils in the distance were full of firelight, and the flames flowed around the trembling earth like bubble-up hot lava from the cracks of the earth. The air also seemed to be rubbed against the temperature of the molten steel by the rapidly falling flames, which in turn ignited everything around it.

There was no shouting echoing in the air, and the devils in the flames all turned directly into powder, while the others, both the devils and the vanguard, were all in a daze, forgetting to exclaim. All the other voices seemed to be ignited into clouds of smoke by the flames, and only the 10-second tremor in the sky echoed in everyone's ears.

Ten seconds later, there was a second of absolute silence in the entire position, only on the still burning devil position, the smoke that continued to rise rushed straight into the empty sky.

"Ahh A terrible howl on the devil's position woke everyone up. Immediately, the cries and howls seemed to have just been released from the compression of the hot air, and they rang out one after another in the devil's position.

"Overwhelmed! Overwhelming! Unstoppable, unstoppable! Zhang Lingfu slowly put down the wrist he had been holding and whispered.

"That's what that weird thing came from?" At the same time, Hu Heming also opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

"Ten thousand arrows are fired, and this soldier still has to run? There's nowhere to hide, so how can you fight in the future? Seeing the flames and billowing smoke still burning on the position of the 10th Division on the opposite side, Hu Minghe also muttered to himself.

At the beginning, these cannons were in a state of top secret, but Hu Minghe didn't take this seemingly simple thing in his eyes. But the thing he said was like a fireworks, but it was a victorious fireworks show directly on the devil's position.

The remaining devils scattered and fled in all directions on the position, forgetting their duties for a moment in order to avoid the attack in the first round.

"Stop, don't run around!" The commander of the 10th Division, Yoshio Shinozuka, shouted loudly. The law enforcement team not far behind him killed a dozen soldiers who were obviously insane in a row before the scene was brought under control.

The positions on the side of the vanguard army were quiet, and they did not take advantage of this attack. Even the soldiers of the vanguard army were immersed in the surprise of the fierce bombardment just now, it was not like the power of human beings, only the wrath of heaven could have such a earth-shaking bombardment.

"Hurry up and heal the wounded!" Seeing that the soldier's mood was slightly stable, Yoshio Shinozuka shouted.

"Do you want to cancel the action?" The chief of staff next to him, Di Bugui, suggested with a nervous face.

Yoshio Shinozuka hesitated, looked at the screaming soldiers, and didn't make a sound. Once a recruit is demoralized, his courage is commendable, regardless of life and death, but once he is frustrated, he is easily frustrated and eventually gives up on himself. The violent blow just now caused their faith to collapse in an instant.

"Can such a soldier still fight?" He listened to a soldier with a broken leg not far away crying loudly for his mother, which made him feel irritated.

"What kind of new weapons did the Vanguard use? What kind of artillery is this? He kept guessing in his mind.

"It's called Blizzard! Call it a blizzard! We usually call it a swarm of bees, and our ancestors called it that very early on! Xia Dayu explained to Hu Minghe on the side that as the deputy head of the rocket artillery, he was responsible for the launch of the rocket artillery on Hu Minghe's side.

"A swarm of bees? It's very similar, but the time is a little shorter, less than half a minute! Hu Minghe shook his head unsatisfactorily, if he came here a few more times, without infantry assault, the devil would only be left with scum.

"Ten seconds! One salvo takes only ten seconds! Xia Dayu raised his right index finger and smiled.

"Ten seconds?" Shimizu Xizhong, who personally pressed to the front line, was like a wooden carving at this time, standing silent. It was only ten seconds before the overwhelming explosion of flames engulfed his entire team. After the light of the fire dimmed, there were broken corpses and soldiers screaming everywhere, how could there be a war like this?

Keisuke Fujie, who was also on the battlefield just now, had only one thigh left, and no one expected that such a cannon would come suddenly, and it was not only him who disappeared directly from the place where he stood, but also many devil officers were standing outside, intending to witness the courage of the imperial soldiers with their own eyes. But the explosion of the earth shaking and shaking for only ten seconds made people have nowhere to hide.

But in these ten seconds, 200 Katyusha rockets were missed. A hundred Katyushas, that is, БМ-13 rocket artillery, were placed on the positions of each brigade. A rocket launcher can fire 16 rockets with a diameter of 132 mm in one salvo, and more than 3,000 rockets were fired in just ten seconds.

This is the real rain of death bullets, when the explosion is around you, and the surrounding is full of fire like the end of the world, there is nowhere to avoid it, you can only watch the people around you fall in an instant, and anyone will go crazy.

"Hurry up and reload, one more round!" Ever since he saw the power of Katyusha's test firing, Deng Dayan suddenly fell in love with this new type of artillery, and he came here again with a dead face. Two hundred Katyushas, a lot of personnel are needed, and they need to be kept secret, almost all the clone artillery are concentrated here, but the personnel are still far from enough. For this reason, half of the 200 heavy artillery on the other side was temporarily transferred here last night. The follow-up logistics service personnel were also filled with a lot of new gunners and non-artillery personnel. After the emergency training, coupled with the support of the sub-base in the vicinity, there is today's salvo.

As for the production of Katyusha rocket artillery, it is not worried, Meng Xiang has long been accumulating.

Katyusha has appeared in 33 years, and rocket artillery is generally only one-fifth to one-twentieth of the cost of artillery of the same caliber, and it is cheaper to use the base to produce it. Therefore, Meng Xiang started mass production early and trained more than 1,000 workers.

It's just for secrecy, and the pressure brought by the devil has not been great, so rocket artillery has always been used as a secret weapon. Even the rocket launchers that were unveiled this time were only half of them.

"Do you want to transfer?" An artillery major next to him came over and asked, this person is also an apprentice of Deng Dayan, and Deng Dayan still has the rank of colonel of artillery staff officer, so it is normal to ask him.

Deng scolded with a smile: "Turn the ball, didn't you see that the little devil's artillery positions are all in the sea of fire?" The rest of the cannons are also overwhelmed by the artillery on our side, hurry up, it's right to have another round! ”

The maximum firing range of the Katyusha can reach 8.5 kilometers, and the positions of the Devil's mountain artillery infantry guns are covered, and even the three 105-mm Type 92 guns have been affected and two have been destroyed. At this time, the door faced the whole place where the fire was surging just now, and he couldn't do anything.

However, the vanguard army brought in four more 150-mm K16 heavy guns, and according to the guidance of the aerial reconnaissance planes, there was another indiscriminate bombardment of the remaining artillery positions.

"What? The Vanguard also has heavy artillery over there? Hundreds of heavy artillery? Sugiyama couldn't believe his ears.

The vanguard army on the southern front already had more than 200 heavy guns, and the roar of the heavy artillery and the reconnaissance planes showed that the vanguard army did not cheat, but if at least 500 heavy guns appeared opposite the 16th Division in the west, then Sugiyama Mototo could only doubt his own ears or the real surname of the report of the chief of staff of the 16th Division on the opposite side, who was crying.

"What year is this, is this still a branch?" Sugiyama Yuan shook his head, heavy artillery is not paper, and it is impossible for the vanguard army to have so many heavy artillery pieces at once.

The 132 mm bombardment of rockets is definitely at the level of heavy artillery power, and a bombardment with a surname makes everyone have to multiply 10 by the actual number of guns.

"What, you're also being bombarded with four or five hundred heavy artillery pieces over there? The offensive cannot continue? Sugiyama Yuan felt the seriousness of the matter, and at this time, the devils on the front line were in a dilemma. No one knows whether the shelling will continue.

"They haven't continued their attacks yet?" Sugiyama couldn't figure out what was going on, could it be that their heavy artillery only attacked once? Is there another mystery?

He walked around anxiously, although the fighters on the battlefield changed instantaneously, but if he hastily evacuated without knowing the situation, once the army began to retreat and was pursued, the consequences would be just as tragic.

He wanted to give up, but he felt a little reluctant. said that their inherent greed made it difficult for them to let go once they stared at the fat. Luck and gambling made him plan to wait a little longer to see what was going on.

At this time, several commanders on the front line did not have the instructions of their superiors, and only organized the rescue of the wounded soldiers while arranging for personnel to prepare for retreat. This battle is no longer fought, and all that remains is to think about how to withdraw peacefully.

"The little devil is quite strong, so he hasn't collapsed directly, and he hasn't retreated yet?" Hu Minghe was also surprised by the tenacity of the devil in his heart. Under such a fierce blow, the general team would have collapsed long ago.

"When will there be another round of that swarm of bees?" Hu Minghe's heart was itching, and he couldn't help but ask Xia Dayudao.

"It's coming!" Xia Dayu raised his watch and glanced at it.

Only seven minutes have passed since the last time, and many devils who have just stabilized their emotions are still sobbing softly, and another piece of heavenly fire fell from the sky and smashed into the top of the devil's head with a roar. Even though many devils who gradually retreated for hundreds of meters looked at the sky uneasily from time to time, when the fire cloud smashed down on their heads and faces, the devils still had nowhere to hide.

The seven minutes of silence of the rocket artillery made many people suspect that it was just a nightmare, but now the nightmare has struck again. Once again, the picture of hellfire unfolded in the world, recolored with red blood and black smoke of death.

All the vanguard soldiers were watching in horror as the flames rose from the devil's position in the distance, where a sea of fire was left.

Another ten seconds, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed and the flood had reopened.
