Chapter 869: Twenty Minutes VS Five Days

"Chief Li still doesn't agree to come to Xinxiang for treatment?"

"Chief Li is still thinking about it, but he has some intentions, maybe he is worried about the current battle situation, and he wants to wait a little longer, and then come over when the troops are safely withdrawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Okay, let Wang Bin set off to Dangshan first, and wait for Chief Li to make a decision, and then set off immediately."

"Yes!"

In the early morning of June 13, under the command of Xue Boling, the Nationalist Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army returning to Germany, and for the first time on the frontal battlefield, more than 100 heavy artillery pieces were used to bombard the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops in Guide City were suddenly dizzy, and they couldn't understand why the firepower of the Chinese army had suddenly increased so much, and where did they get their heavy artillery?

Kenji Dohihara was also puzzled, wasn't the heavy artillery and armored units of the New First Army severely damaged by the Imperial Army Aviation?

Could it be that the air forces of the Reich have been deceived?

Come to think of it, there is really such a possibility, but when the captain of his cavalry wing came back to report, he saw it with his own eyes, it would not be fake, and he would not join forces with so many soldiers to deceive himself.

To his subordinates, he can still hear the truth and falsehood.

"Division commander, the artillery fire in Chinese is too strong, we can't stand it......" Sano Tadayoshi rushed into the headquarters with an anxious face.

"Order the artillery, return fire to me, return fire ......"

"Hay!"

"Moxi, Moxi, artillery positions......"

There was no one in the earpiece to answer, only the cannonball that streaked across the sky, rubbing against the air. There was a screeching sound from the rubbing, followed by a violent explosion.

Before the attack, how could Xie Zaoshi not first figure out where the Japanese artillery positions were located, it was enough to have an approximate location.

The Japanese army did not have large-caliber long-range artillery, so they unscrupulously exposed their artillery positions to the sight of the sounding balloons of the heavy artillery brigade.

This is miserable, the heavy artillery brigade must eliminate the ground weapons that pose the greatest threat to itself, the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, at the first time, otherwise, when he comes to his senses, he should be unlucky.

The intelligence of the Japanese army did not take the lead this time, and they did not know that the national army had suddenly increased such a large and powerful attacking force!

Although Leng Feng blackmailed Xue Boling, his support was unprecedented, and the heavy artillery brigade carried nearly twenty trucks of ammunition and dozens of mules and horses.

A total of 10,000 shells!

Seeing this, Xue Boling's little resentment towards Leng Feng naturally disappeared.

Three thousand shells were smashed in one go, and the density and firepower were unprecedented, and it seemed that the Tufeiyuan Division had never withstood such a large fire coverage.

Even Chief Xue, who had seen a lot of big scenes, couldn't help but feel a chill in the back of his neck when he saw the tragic scenes of purgatory on earth in the Japanese army position from the telescope.

A lot of national defense fortifications were built before the war, but now they are all used by the Japanese army, not to mention cutting corners, but under the existing national strength, it is already very good to be able to build such a degree.

Steel, cement, etc., which of these materials for building strong fortifications is not in short supply in China today?

It would be nice to be able to build the fortifications as they are now.

However, such a fortification would never be able to stop the bombardment of a heavy artillery shell of forty or fifty pounds, so the Japanese troops on the position, even if they ran fast on their legs and hid in the anti-artillery hole, could not be spared.

The charred black soil, the billowing black smoke, some Japanese soldiers were on fire, but they could not find the water source to extinguish the fire, so they could only flutter on the ground, but the weather was hot in this season, and when the fire burned, it was difficult to extinguish at all.

The shells rained down on the Japanese positions, and the trenches and fortifications could not be stopped, and even the concrete pillboxes exploded in response, and the people inside had little hope of surviving.

The artillery fire extended, and the tanks covered the infantry and began to charge.

"Kill!"

Two elite reconnaissance battalions took the Longhai railway line as the boundary and launched a fierce charge against the Japanese position.

In fact, there is also the meaning of secret competition.

Whether it is Tu Man or Guan Shuhong, they have both been trained in the Yaksha Battalion, the two are comrades-in-arms and competitors, but in terms of fame, Tu Man is above Guan Shuhong, but in terms of tactical theory, Guan Shuhong is much stronger than Tu Man.

This time they were sent together to fight together, and the two naturally sparked.

In terms of infantry coordination, or the new army has experience, Leng Feng intends to reorganize the armored brigade into an armored assault team, with a mixed formation of tanks, armored vehicles and mechanized infantry.

This is the most suitable kind of organization on the Chinese battlefield, and in the hilly and mountainous areas, this kind of organization is more flexible and mobile, and it is also very suitable for the new first army now, which does what it can.

To make it bigger, not only the New First Army, but even the whole of China does not have such great financial and material resources.

"What a powerful step, tan, and cannon cooperation, Sir Xue, look!"

"Well, Leng Guoguang's exploits are not obtained by luck, people do have a set, although this set of tactics does not look difficult, but it is not easy to sit up, mutual cooperation is a huge difficulty, I really don't know, Leng Guoguang how to transfer such a force in such a short period of time. Teach it out. ā€

"Yes, when I didn't see it, I didn't feel anything, and when I saw it, I felt shocked!"

"Report to Chief Xue, the assault team has already wanted to break through the Japanese position by one kilometer and is attacking the second line of defense of the Japanese army!"

"How many casualties did our army have?"

"Less than a hundred casualties!"

"What, less than a hundred?" Everyone in the headquarters was shocked, the Nationalist Army had fought for five days, only advanced three to five kilometers, suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and almost stepped on corpses along the way.

It's good that people are bombarded, driving tanks, and crushing all the way, which is almost as easy as an "outing".

It's only been less than twenty minutes.

People are more angry than people.

"The Japanese army was caught off guard by us, we didn't expect that we still had such strong firepower, and when they reacted, it would be difficult to fight."

"Yes, yes......"

Under the cover of heavy artillery, Li Ye's armored assault group tore open a hole in the Japanese defensive position and rampaged into the Japanese position.

Drawing on the experience of the battle in Taierzhuang, the armored assault group has always been with the mechanized infantry behind, unhurried and steadily advancing!

Some time ago, I had learned the profound lesson that tanks rushed too fast and were destroyed by enemy anti-tank weapons, and without the protection of infantry, tanks were actually very vulnerable.

In particular, the thin-skinned tanks captured by the Japanese army have very poor protection, which is really far from the tanks of Western countries.

At this time, the Japanese troops on the position also recognized that this was the group of armored tanks that had raided them in the vicinity of Minquan.

For that lightning attack, many Japanese officers and soldiers have left an indelible shadow on their psychology, and the scene of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rushing over together is simply an existence that is difficult to match.

Once there is an invincible emotion, the morale of the Japanese troops on the position collapses instantly, like an avalanche, no matter how the commander shouts, or even shoots the soldiers running back, it is difficult to contain!

Twenty minutes after the shelling!

Xie Jiyuan immediately ordered the artillery to move their positions and move towards another selected artillery position.

This process takes at least half an hour.

Just when many people didn't understand, Xie Zaoshi still forcibly ordered the artillery positions to be transferred, and the camouflage of the wood pulled up on the original artillery positions.

And the charging armored assault brigade, after the artillery stopped shelling, also slowed down, and after ten minutes, retreated, handing over the occupied territory to the infantry behind.

The 88th Division and the 51st Division quickly filled the space where the armored assault brigade had stayed, extending the battle line forward by three kilometers, almost the result of the five days of fighting of the Nationalist Army.

And the combat losses were less than 500 people.

"Why don't you continue the shelling, under such a good situation, maybe you can break through to the city of Guide in one fell swoop!" Some generals of the national army did not understand it very much.

"That is, the Japanese defense has collapsed, and we can fight again."

"What does this Li Ye want to do, a little colonel, dare to order a retreat without authorization?"

"Are Leng Guoguang's subordinates so arrogant?"

"Chief Xue......"

"Do you still remember, in the battle at Dashapo five days ago, after the armored assault group of the New First Army lightning raided the main force of the Japanese Tohihara Division, the Japanese fighters soon roared in, and they did this to avoid the bombing of the Japanese fighters and avoid losses." Xue Boling explained.

Listening to Xue Boling's explanation, all the generals suddenly realized.

Although many people disagreed, they also kept their mouths shut, and it was obvious that Xue Boling was biased in favor of Li Ye.

"Then why did the tank assault group stop, they could have continued to advance, even if the Japanese fighters were coming, it would take time?" Someone has found a new point of attack.

"Don't look at the defeat of the Japanese army by us, it was because they were disrupted by our surprise attack, so long is enough for them to reorganize and launch a counterattack, they are not without the power to counterattack!"

"Cowardly and afraid of death......"

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the Japanese stabilized their position and organized their troops to launch a counterattack, and heavy howitzers fiercely shelled the positions of the Jungmatist Army.

Just now, the faces of the people who said that the New First Army was timid and afraid of death turned pale in an instant.

The battle suddenly turned into a tug-of-war before, but this time the Nationalist Army was not as good as before, and with the encouragement of the great victory and the replenishment of the new army, the G Army stabilized the position it had just occupied and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese army.

Xue Boling was very sober, although he made significant progress at the beginning, almost equal to the results of the previous five days, but this was based on killing the Japanese army by surprise.

If it is fought again, the Japanese army will be on guard, and it will be difficult to make such progress, and the further it goes, the more difficult it will be to fight, and opponents like Kenji Dohihara will be extremely difficult.

"Division commander, it was the unit that raided us, it seems that we were fooled."

Kenji Dohihara's face was pale, the cavalry wing commander who had reported the news had already been slapped several times by him, and his face was swollen, if it weren't for his report, would he believe that this unit that posed the greatest threat to him no longer existed?

The new first army, Leng Feng, this is simply a "curse", which has always been coiled in Kenji Dohihara's mind.

"What's going on with aerial reconnaissance, why didn't it be discovered, and the intelligence department, all deaf and blind, why haven't we received any news of such important information?"

"Did you spy on the Elite Sect, didn't you find the slightest abnormality?"

"Waste, stupid pigs, a bunch of waste......"

Kenji Dohihara's short stature jumped around in the headquarters, pointing at the group of wing commanders and staff officers under his command and scolding, such a heavy loss, so that the only remaining family of the 14th Division was half removed, did he also follow in the footsteps of Ryosuke Isoya?

The defense of the Eastern Front, which Ushijima was in charge of, was also hit hard by the 1st Division commanded by Li Tie and Zhong Song's supplementary brigade, and the battle was extremely fierce.

At this time, he also realized that the Chinese team was going to move in earnest, and he also changed troops.

At this time, the Japanese army in Guide City was already less than 7,000 people, and if reinforcements did not arrive, it would not be able to support it for a few days with the current consumption of food and ammunition.

At this time, the forward of the 106th Division of the Japanese reinforcements had already arrived in Bozhou, and they would be able to arrive in Guide within one day at the earliest. (To be continued.) )
