Chapter 534: Battle of Xuzhou

In the face of the rapid charge of the Qu army, the Japanese army in Suining could not keep up with their pace in artillery mobilization, and could not bombard their own position, resulting in continuous explosions behind the Qu army, but they did not hurt too many people, and the army had already advanced to the next position before the shells fell.

"Kill!!"

Qu Jun just roared, shot a grenade, ran, pressed one again, more than three hundred meters away from the bunker, and shot out again with a bang.

Dense gun-grenades rained down on the inside and outside of the bunker as thousands of soldiers ran, and the fire continued in a loud roar. The screaming of the steel balls made the Japanese army unable to even raise their heads, and in just a few seconds, Qu Jun just rushed into the position first.

"Kill!!"

In the roar of Qu Jungang, the assault battalion erupted into an earth-shattering exhalation, and then, the war knives were in hand one after another, and the shell guns slammed into Suining.

Behind him, the soldiers also drew their broadswords, rushed into the position without hesitation, and saw the Japanese army in groups of three or three, mercilessly chopping, and in just a dozen seconds, the Japanese position was completely out of control.

Qu Jun just chopped all the way, and in the smoke, when he saw a 92 infantry artillery position on the other side, he was furious and rushed over with the assault battalion.

Artillery, melee combat is a dish. The Japanese soldiers on the position held their guns and howled and rushed towards Qu Jungang and hundreds of others, but their bayonet fighting skills were far inferior to the infantry, and in front of Qu Jungang, a veteran who had already fused the Sancai Array into his blood, it was a slaughter. In less than two minutes, none of the hundreds of Japanese troops on the position survived, and they all became ghosts.

The troops, at this time, had already rushed into Suining Street, and when the Japanese army relied on houses to resist in street fighting, they were suppressed for a few seconds, and then. The grenades flew indiscriminately, and the gunfire suddenly intensified. The fighters changed into submachine guns and began to rush all the way, quickly strangling.

The Japanese army was not too many in Suining, not even 2,000 people. Where can it withstand such a violent impact? They were not even fully prepared for the street fight, and were still struggling to defend the rearmost line of defense, when the advance army rushed into the streets, and the chaos began.

As the Qu army just rushed into Suining, the follow-up troops also followed, pouring into the positions on both sides that had not been cleaned up like a tide, quickly cleaning up the remnants, and pounced on Suining.

The Qu army, which was fighting street by street, had just launched a full-line assault charge at the moment when the large army arrived. Under the resistance of the 38 big cover, the rolling poured into the streets, and then, the few remaining Japanese troops were annihilated, and Suining was in hand.

Dong Ku followed the large army, and at the same time that Qu Jungang's convoy moved forward and the self-propelled artillery moved forward, he also entered Suining.

"There are still 80 kilometers to Xuzhou. We're going to pick up the pace. ”

Dong Ku looked at the figure of cleaning the battlefield and said to Zuo Boyang on horseback.

"It doesn't matter. Let Lao Zhao send two divisions to rush forward, and the Japanese army in Taierzhuang can be tied there. ”

Zuo Boyang said lightly.

"Great idea! Then we will continue to rush forward, strive to reach the position of 40 kilometers in Xuzhou at night, and advance overnight! ”

Dong Ku had a bottom in his heart, so he firmed up his previous plan and advanced quickly.

Qu Jungang's two divisions were merged. Self-propelled artillery carried the fighters on both sides of the road, and trucks kicked up smoke and dust on the road and moved quickly.

The large army and baggage followed, and the army did not stop in Suining, and the semi-mechanized rushed towards Xuzhou.

Ahead. The Japanese army had already known that the enemy was attacking, and after Sui Ning finished reporting, there was no movement half an hour later, so that Tsukada felt that the decisive battle was coming ahead of schedule, four days earlier than the expected five days, and only rested in Suqian for one night.

Far from being nervous, he smelled the smell of blood, and ordered excitedly: "Order, Taierzhuang is ready to send troops to intersperse at any time, Shangqiu Nakajima is ready to encircle, and we will eat these pigs who dare to attack!" ”

The message, with his command, flew into the sky.

The Japanese army's resistance can be described as layered, so that the speed of the advancing team is not as fast as expected.

As soon as Qu's army ran out of the five kilometers, a Japanese defensive position appeared in front of it.

The Huya team members who had already infiltrated the Japanese theater had already reported all the coordinates in front to Qu Jungang, and when they arrived at the predetermined position, the self-propelled artillery roared, lined up, and the trucks did not stop at all, rushing straight to the Japanese position.

The shells, before the Japanese army saw the army on this side, roared and flew towards the Japanese position, and then, the loud roar rose on the position, the fire rose into the sky, and the Japanese army retracted into the anti-artillery hole on the position, and endured the shelling.

In the violent shaking of the earth, the truck roared and approached the position, chasing the extended artillery fire, and arrived at the edge of the position, and then, the soldiers jumped off the truck, and one by one the grenades were thrown into the anti-artillery hole, and the Japanese troops inside were buried in the anti-artillery hole before they could judge whether the artillery fire had left the position.

At this time, the second echelon of self-propelled artillery crossed the trucks, the chain rails rolled up dust, and one by one they crossed the trenches, and then flattened the trenches, paving the way for the trucks behind.

Trucks, followed by self-propelled artillery, spread out in formation, clinging to the sides of the road, catching up with the soldiers.

The entire two-kilometer-deep position, under the alternating forward movement of self-propelled artillery waves and intensive bombardment, followed by the soldiers, most of the Japanese troops failed to drill out of the anti-artillery holes, and were suffocated inside.

"It's really good!"

On the truck, an old soldier drove the car, chattering excitedly.

On the roof of the car, next to the high-flying guns, the fighters with heavy machine guns were also a little dumbfounded, they originally thought that they would become the pig's feet of the attack, they opened fire, and led the team all the way, but they didn't know that their trucks had become self-propelled artillery to protect people, waiting to pull people, and there was no chance to shoot at all, all of which were handled by the soldiers below.

The shelling continued, and the Japanese could not lie down in the trenches at all during the shelling. This is not a small-caliber artillery, this is a 200-caliber heavy artillery, and if you go down with one shot, even if you don't shoot effectively, if you dare to stay in the trenches, you will be buried alive or shocked to death if you don't die.

As if the deserted village was broken, the fighters did not even have a chance to charge, and according to the coordinates, a kilometer away, self-propelled artillery shells were constantly falling in front. The muzzle of the cannon was leveled, and several cannons were fired, and the shells were fired flat, and then, on the edge of the village, they were blocked by earthen walled houses, with a loud noise. One blow up was placed in one piece, which was faster than a bulldozer, and in just one round, most of the village was destroyed, and when the self-propelled artillery put away the brackets and the infantry rushed up, the village, among the ruins and broken walls, except for the corpses of the Japanese soldiers. Alive, not seen few.

At this time, the Japanese army did not know what kind of unit they were facing, reconnaissance planes, and they had given up their intention to fly to reconnoitre. Five reconnaissance planes in a row were shot down by the vehicle-mounted antiaircraft guns of the advance army, and no reconnaissance planes took off.

"Get in the car!! Let's go!! ”

Qu Jun just gave a loud order in the walkie-talkie, and even cleaned up the battlefield. I didn't do anything to clean up the remnants of the enemy. His mission was to advance and sweep away all positions in his path. Pave the way for the great army. In addition to the cleaning of the position, there are people in the troops behind, and he is not needed.

When Dong Kuzuo Boyang and the others arrived at Bian Zhuang, they all smiled when they saw the effect along the way.

Sun Tao and Zuo Boyang didn't expect that the effect of this combination would be so good, and the whole attack didn't know how many Japanese troops were wiped out. But there is one thing, their losses are minimal, only a few dozen were wounded, six were killed, so to speak. There is no damage.

They didn't know that there was mechanization in the Dao, and although they knew that the Dong Ku of the Dao must have a good trick, they didn't expect that it was the self-propelled artillery to complete the process.

If all the armored vehicles were in place, they would be even more shocked, the speed of that raid, 200 kilometers a day, far faster and sharper than the German blitzkrieg, just airplanes.

The result of the first battle made Qu Jungang feel at ease, he no longer had scruples, and he didn't get out of the truck anymore, holding the walkie-talkie and constantly issuing instructions.

Ahead, after three days of hard work, the Huya soldiers have thoroughly touched all the Japanese positions, so that there is no obstacle to the advance, leaving only a group, three people, to determine the coordinates for the arriving artillery.

When Dong Ku marched to Shuanggouzhuang, he ordered the artillery to be supported on the spot, leaving 200 guns, and bombarded the Japanese garrison 20 kilometers away on both sides, so that the Japanese troops there had no chance to penetrate along the highway, and were directly eaten by the two wings advancing lightly.

The team, on the other hand, did not stop at all during the shelling, leaving 75 captured Japanese mountain guns and field artillery every ten kilometers, leaving a regiment to guard the road.

Tsukada attacked the ants at this time like ants on a hot pot. Anxiously pacing back and forth in the headquarters.

Taierzhuang called, the enemy attacking Lianyun had approached Taierzhuang and would attack at any time. In Suzhou, the enemy was also approaching Suzhou and continued to reinforce, while the enemy in the direction of the main position on the opposite side advanced faster than he expected, more than 30 kilometers in a row, and the opponent only took two and a half hours to break through the whole line, and the target was directed at Xuzhou. Judging from the range of the enemy's artillery more than 25 kilometers, it will take up to three more hours to enter the position of the shelling.

In the end, after Shuanggou was taken, Tsukada gave up the idea of luring the enemy to go deeper, and did not dare to expose Xuzhou to the range of the opponent's artillery, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The two wings are roundabout, cut off the enemy's travel route, and we will attack head-on!" ”

The Japanese army, after receiving the order, the troops between Suzhou and Suqian began to move, and the Japanese army between Taierzhuang also pounced in the direction of Xuzhou. They had no position, they were just hidden, waiting to be outflanked and annihilated by the attacking enemy.

The scouts saw that the Japanese troops they were monitoring had moved, and with that, the news reached the headquarters.

Dong Ku saw the telegram, smiled and said, "The Japanese army is in a hurry, and they don't wait to cut off our travel and supply routes, and have a decisive battle, so it's better, and the provincial troops are scattered and go to them." ”

Sun Tao looked at the map, then looked up and said: "My suggestion is to eat all the Japanese troops who come, let the troops on both flanks delay their advance, and earn their pockets." ”

Dong Ku nodded, agreed with Sun Tao's plan, eating the Japanese army on the march, it is the best for the advance army, otherwise, cleaning up the Japanese army on the entire Xuzhou battlefield, I am afraid it will take a little effort, without ten days and a half months, it is difficult to end the battle here, even if his artillery is sharp and the number of troops is enough, but the area is too wide.

With Sun Tao's order, the two wings slowly followed, the troops guarding the middle road stopped, and according to the report of the scouts sent out, the soldiers quietly lurked to meet the rushing Japanese army.

There was no long-range artillery on either side, the Japanese were artillery guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and the fighters of the advance army did not even have machine guns in their hands, which seemed to be a little weak

The Japanese army knew that there were teams on both wings of the other side to follow the movement, but they didn't expect the other party's communication to be so fast.

Li Rongbin was on the right flank, his two divisions, with two reinforced brigades, left troops all the way to guard the flanks and prevent the Japanese from raiding, and he did not rush to attack at the moment when the Japanese army got into the pocket. There is no long-range artillery, which is a good time to practice guns.

"Seize the favorable terrain and keep an eye on the opponent's mortar!"

He calmly ordered.

The Japanese soldiers, not knowing that they were still ten kilometers away from the enemy, were wrapped in dumplings, and at the moment of the banging gunshots, they didn't even see a figure.

At a distance of five or six hundred meters, the soldiers launched accurate sniping, and the semi-automatic sound was dense, harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers one by one.

"Set up mortars!!"

Attacked, the Japanese troops on the march reacted very quickly, heavy machine guns, mortars were mounted with them, ready to bombard the front and launch a charge.

But as soon as the mortar was put on, the heavy machine gun had just been erected, and in the screaming of bullets, the heads of the artillerymen, the sub-shooters, and the ammunition men burst one after another, and the plasma was sprayed, turning into headless corpses.

Thousands of heavy snipers, where will the mortar mount? The heavy machine gun is the same, even the opportunity to shoot is beautiful, and he was killed by a heavy sniper, and the machine gun is crooked to the side.

"Sniper!!"

The terrifying body exploded, making the Japanese soldiers frightened one by one, shouting, looking around for the location of the sniper. It's a pity that they can't see the distance of two thousand meters in their extension, and they can't see the muzzle of the gun in the stealth grass, and the commander, with the rotation of the head, as long as he is not holding a three-eight big cover, but carrying a command knife, he is killed one after another. In just a few tens of seconds, in the fierce gunfire, there were ten commanders in front, not even two.

The Japanese army, the combat effectiveness is quite good, although most of the commanders have been killed, and the commanders behind have not yet come up, but the captain is dead and there is Cao Chang, and Cao Chang is dead and there is a captain, command, but there is no unified coordination, but the battle is not delayed.

So, in the shouting one by one, the mortars were transported to the low-lying places, although countless corpses were thrown along the way, but there were still mortars on the mount, at the same time, the Japanese soldiers did not lie on the ground and waited for death, the cat bent on the waist, leaned forward, ready to approach, launched a charge, rushed into the enemy's position, and fought and killed.
