629. Chapter 629 : Arrogant Japanese artillery bombardment

After another two full days, the exhausted Japanese army, which had been harassed by the cavalry, was finally relieved. They found that both the cavalry and the wolves had suddenly disappeared, as if they had suddenly evaporated from the world.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many fewer of them, I'm afraid most of them would have thought that it was just a nightmare.

Tada Jun did not dare to be careless, and ordered the troops to be stationed in place for a day and a night, waiting to see what happened.

He was completely frightened by the toss, and when the cavalry and wolves did not come, he had a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart.

A day and a night passed in the eyes of the devils, the stars were shining, and the evening breeze was cold. Not to mention the cavalry and wolves, the devils on the plains didn't even see a single mouse.

Iida Sadagu dragged his long frozen nose to Tada Jun: "Sir, what tricks is the Independence Army playing?" In normal times, no matter whether we are stationed or marching, they have to run out and make a call. Especially the wolves, out of nowhere. Yes, yes...... But why is there no movement now? ”

Tada Jun was also very suspicious, and even if someone approached his ear and shouted to him that the cavalry and wolves had retreated, he probably wouldn't believe it. He insisted that this must be another trap set by the Independence Army, and that he had to see through this trap before he could move forward.

Not only him, but the remaining 80,000 Japanese troops almost all had the same idea from top to bottom. They didn't believe that the Independence Army had retreated, and that the devil's cavalry and ferocious wolves were not to be messed with.

And the other party has always been in an advantage, how can it be possible to retreat.

So the devils were stationed here for a whole day and a night, and they sneezed and sneezed in the cold wind, and their noses watered, but they did not complain. At this time, life is still important, and no devil wants a small negligence to lead to their total annihilation.

can let the devils forget the autumn water, hope for the stars and the moon, hope for cavalry or wolves to appear even once. But people just don't give face, saying that disappearing is disappearing, and they never show their faces half a time.

Tada Jun really couldn't hold it back now, he always thought about the Japanese army in northern Shaanxi. He had been harassed all the way and had to change his route to avoid the cavalry and wolves.

Now that there are no more threats, the first thing that comes to his mind is naturally the Japanese army in northern Shaanxi.

"Immediately the order was given, and the troops advanced at full speed. Pass through Tongchuan and head towards Yan'an. We are going to meet with the troops in Yan'an in three days, and here we have been delayed for too long. Tada Jun gave an order to Iida Sadagu sharply.

After freezing in the field for two days and two nights, the army finally advanced at full speed again. At this time, they were not far from Tongchuan, and it would take them less than three hours to arrive.

However, in order to prevent the reappearance of cavalry and wolves, Tada made strict arrangements around the perimeter of the marching army.

As long as you reach Tongchuan, you can make peace with the 100,000 Japanese army in the direction of Yan'an all the way north. When the time comes, he will get back all the humiliation he has suffered in the past few days.

The cold wind howled wildly, and a large area of dark clouds was suddenly blown by the strong wind, obscuring the already faint sunlight in the sky. The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and the Japanese soldiers walking on the earth were like a long colony of ants, struggling to move forward against the cold wind.

"Your Excellency Commander, ten kilometers ahead is Tongchuan. The reconnaissance team has already reconnoitred that there is about a division or so of the Independent Army stationed outside Tongchuan City, and they have dug trenches, and there may be more soldiers lying in ambush in the trenches, and the exact number is not known for the time being. ”

Iida Sadagu braved the strong wind and personally stood next to the car to report to Tada.

The closer he got to Tongchuan, the harder his heart was beating. After several previous fiascos, Iida Sadagu no longer dared to be arrogant enough to command the troops without authorization. He is facing a cunning independence army, and this responsibility is still handed over to Tada Jun to make him more at ease.

"The strength of a division?" Tada Jun suddenly sneered: "Sure enough, the Independent Army wants to stop us here, and their large army will cut into our deep zone, make peace with the Eighth Route Army, and annihilate our troops in northern Shaanxi together." Gao Dong, this abacus is really good. ”

"Your Excellency, what are we going to do now?" Iida asked.

"With the strength of just one division, do you need me to say anything? You are a dignified army commander, don't you know how to command the troops to charge? You still have more than 80,000 heavy soldiers, can't you take a mere Tongchuan? This is the plain, there is nothing to hinder the infantry charge, and it is up to you to command! Tada Jun closed his eyes after speaking, in his opinion, there was no suspense about taking Tongchuan.

Iida sadagu sneered a little in the cold wind, but then saluted and left.

Tada Jun is right, if the Independence Army only leaves one division to stop his 80,000 troops, then this one division of the Independence Army will be completely finished.

Charging on the plains, his army of 80,000 can trample the opponent to death even if he steps on it. Just Tongchuan, today he is bound to win.

"Gao Dong, Independence Army. The shame you left me before, today Iida Sadagu wants to take it all back with interest! ”

Gusts of cold wind swept through Tongchuan, and the dust rushing to the sky was like a thick yellow fog covering Tongchuan in a hazy and hazy way, like a mirage.

The 80,000-strong army of the Japanese army has been divided into three batches, front, middle and rear, ready to charge at any time.

The artillery was densely concentrated in the rear of the Japanese army, and the muzzle of the black hole slowly rose, and with the orders of the devils, it aimed at the position of the independent army outside Tongchuan City.

Iida Zhengu sat in the Chinese army and looked coldly at Tongchuan Castle in front of him.

"Commander, it's all ready! The 3rd and 4th garrisons are ready to charge, and the tank units have been assembled! A Nakasa came to Iida Sadagu.

"So what are you waiting for? Do we have a lot of time? Attack now! Iida Sadagu coldly ordered.

"Hay!" Nakasa turned and left.

Five minutes later, suddenly the earth shook violently, and hundreds of artillery pieces in the rear of the Japanese army roared in unison, and the burning shells were almost burning the surrounding air, and they frantically bombarded the devil's position.

The artillery fire was dazzling, and later blocked the devil's view. The sky was filled with the chaotic sound of pieces of iron.

In the space above the position outside Tongchuan City, many huge pieces of iron cracked and fell down one after another.

Under the sky, it was as dark as when a rainstorm was coming, and the cannonballs projected a blue-gray glow in all directions.

In the world that can be seen, from one end to the other, the earth is shaking, sinking, dissolving, and the infinite space is shaking like the sea.

In the east, there was an extremely violent explosion; In the south, the flames are flying; At the zenith, there are rows of flowering bombs, like volcanoes without feet. …… And there was nothing else on the vast expanse of the earth, where there was cold wind and dust, and the clouds of heaven and the clouds that came out of the earth were scattered and mixed together on the earth.

In the blink of an eye, the outside of Tongchuan City fell into a package of flames and dust, and dazzling mushroom clouds slowly rose, shaking the mirage even more, and it seemed to be crumbling in the wind.

Iida laughed, and although he couldn't see how the soldiers of the Independence Army were struggling to survive under the fire, he could imagine their suffering.

"Fiercely, blow up these bastards, blow them up!" Iida Sadagu yelled.

Tada Jun, who was on the other side, also had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth at the moment.

Tongchuan should be struggling under the fire of the Japanese army. The Independence Army should pay a heavy price for the losses of the Japanese army in the past few days.

"Gao Dong, who won this time?" The smile on Tada's lips became even stronger, as if it burned with the explosion of the cannonball.

After bombarding a position, countless devil artillery teams quickly drove to the designated area.

Hundreds of thousands of shells of various calibers swept a wide area occupied by two kilometers of Independence Army trenches in one hour.

As soon as the bombardment began, the devils saw a large number of independent troops retreating from the trenches and running towards the rear trenches as if fleeing for their lives.

After another hour, in the midst of the continuous bombardment, many of the Independence forces abandoned the second line of trenches and moved to the third line of trenches in the city.

The rumble was occasionally mixed with the salvo of individual devil artillery batteries, and the rumble that shook the heavens and the earth crawled forward, getting closer and closer, filling the dusty ground all around: woo woo woo woo...... Woowoowoooo......oo Woo woo woo woo ...... Dada!

The devil's troops began to advance slowly, and under the cover of heavy artillery, they arrogantly approached Tongchuan City.

After the heavy machine gun was set up, it was firing wildly. Many of the exploding pillars of black smoke swept like a whirlwind into the air on the crumbling sand, a mile wide in diameter.

The waves of attackers dispersed, tumbled, and scattered like a splash from the crater, still crawling, crawling...... The black smoke of the shells swept the land more and more tightly, the shrill screams of shrapnel flying diagonally became more and more dense on the attackers, and the machine-gun fire on the ground was more and more brutal.

Throughout, there was no effective return fire from the three positions of the Independence Army. The two garrisons of the devils have gradually approached the first line of the Independence Army, which is only less than 300 meters away, and even the devils can already see the Independence Army that has been bombarded by artillery fire, and can only shrink into the trenches.

Iida Sadagu laughed in the rear, seeing the independence army constantly abandoning its position and running towards the city, he felt as comfortable as he could in his heart.

After being beaten around like a dog by the cavalry of the Independent Army for several days, he can finally beat the Independent Army with his head raised and proud.

"Let the artillery fire continue to bombard for an hour, and don't worry about the ammunition! Bomb me hard, just to blow them up like lost dogs! Iida Sadagu arrogantly yelled at the officer who gave the order.

The whole earth was constantly shaking, and even the cold wind carried a wave of heat whistling by. The billowing gunpowder smoke and the smoke and dust that filled the sky fused together, blowing like a giant wolf towards the crumbling Tongchuan.

An hour later, the frontal positions of the Independence Army had been almost shattered into ruins by the artillery fire of the devils. At this time, the artillery fire of the devils finally stopped bombing.

"Attack, attack! Kill all the Independence Army in the city! The whole army is on the offensive! Iida Sadagu had reached the point of extreme madness at this moment, and loudly gave the order for the final attack.

A large number of devils flocked to Tongchuan like a tide, and at this moment, in a trench in front of Tongchuan City. Gao Dong quietly raised his head, shook off the dirt all over his body, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
