Chapter 214: Battle of Jinzhou

Jinzhou City, has always been an important place for soldiers, the geographical location is very important, the Bohai Bay and the north and south, is the only traffic artery leading to the outside of the Guan, Jinzhou, is tantamount to opening the door to the Guannei, but also the devil's attack on North China and the Central Plains of the advance base, according to the defense level of the Kwantung Army, Jinzhou is a first-class area.

After receiving an order from the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Devil's Division led the troops of two wings to the north to complete the strategic task of encircling the second blockade line of the Bloody Hand Regiment.

In addition, there is also a division of the puppet Manchukuo army, with a strength of 12,000 people, and on the whole, the Japanese puppet garrison in Jinzhou City is less than 20,000 people, and the ratio of our army's strength is nearly three to one, and the firepower ratio is five to one.

In the deployment of siege operations, Tang Qiuli adopted the method of attacking from all sides, with the main attacking troops everywhere, and tried his best to divide the defensive forces of the enemy, taking the Japanese army as an example, the troops scattered to various defensive directions, but more than 1,000 people, as for the combat effectiveness of the Manchukuo soldiers, it can be ignored, and when the time comes, as soon as the guns and cannons sound, they will not run away, even if they are well-trained.

In each direction of attack, two brigades of more than 5,000 troops were arranged, with Su Jingfeng's second detachment and Yuan Jinghao's fourth detachment responsible for the siege, and the artillery detachment concentrated in the northern main attack direction, forming an absolute firepower superiority.

When the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment approached the periphery of Jinzhou, the captain of the devil wing in Jinzhou City, Nakazawa Kiichi, was already panicking, he believed in his command art, believed in his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, he believed in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire, however, the tenacious will to fight, but could not offset the absolutely weak troops and firepower, Nakazawa Kiichi knew very well that waiting for him and his soldiers, the final outcome was all jade shattering.

At the beginning of this year, Kiichi Nakazawa was transferred from the local garrison in the East Manchurian region to the Jinzhou Garrison Division; in the East Manchurian region, the troops under his command fought against the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and he had a deep understanding of the fighting will, combat methods, and strategy and tactics of this Chinese army, and his garrison had already been replenished no less than 10 new recruits, and if calculated according to the number of casualties in previous battles, it had far exceeded the establishment of an ordinary wing.

Every battle was an indelible nightmare for him, and the only thing worthy of his consolation was that despite repeated losses, his own troops had not been as tragic as the ending of his other colleagues, and they had all been annihilated.

After being transferred to Jinzhou, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, glad that he had finally left the land that terrified him in Dongman and arrived in a safe area.

Who knows, less than half a year after coming, the devil-like bloody hand regiment actually appeared under the city of Jinzhou, and when the defensive force was the most empty, the first thing Nakasawa did was to send an urgent telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters, saying that Jinzhou was attacked by about 80,000 people from the main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and it was in danger, which was a full 30,000 more than the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment.

Standing on the tower of the city gate, Kiichi Nakazawa saw in the telescope that the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment were moving in the direction of the South Gate on a large scale, and there were still a lot of artillery pieces, and he concluded that the main attack direction of the Bloody Hand Regiment troops was in the area of the South Gate.

He immediately concentrated the main forces at the south gate, and also ordered the Manchukuo Division to mobilize the strength of two regiments to assist the imperial army in defending the south gate.

Tang Qiuli immediately adjusted the operational deployment, and the attacking troops at the south gate changed from the main attack to a feint, mainly using artillery fire, and firmly attracted the attention of the devils to the south gate.

The main attack tasks in the other three directions remained unchanged, and in order to make Nakazawa more convinced of his judgment, he also ordered the artillery detachment to dispatch a Type 92 infantry artillery brigade to rush to the south gate, and be sure to let the devil's observation post see it.

After breaking through in the north, east, and west, the troops should not fight in the periphery, but quickly plunge into the center of the city, and then outflank them in the direction of the south gate and give the devils a fierce blow in the back.

Li Honggang's detachment, the remaining two brigades, as a reserve, and Han Tie's three detachments of more than 10,000 people, rushed to the coast to deploy defenses to prevent the devils from reinforcing the Liaodong Peninsula from landing by sea, Tang Qiuli was very interested in the heavy artillery of the devil's heavy artillery brigade in Jinzhou City, and he ordered the special operations detachment to infiltrate the city, and after the battle began, wait for an opportunity to seize the devil's heavy artillery, and he wanted to use these heavy artillery to fight the devil's warship.

The battle started at dusk, the first attack was the south gate, the first fierce shelling, the south gate of Jinzhou fell into a sea of fire, the devil's defensive position, was blown up by the shells, these devils who have been stationed in Jinzhou, have never seen such a fierce artillery fire, the surface fortifications, all were blown up, the devils hiding in the bunker and the concealment department, like sitting in a small boat rocking in the wind and rain, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time.

As the artillery fire extended, the devils crawled out of the hideouts and bunkers in fear, and entered the fortifications that had been razed to the ground, waiting to withstand a ferocious attack.

Unexpectedly, there was silence on the opposite position, and there was no sign of an attack, just when the commanders and soldiers at the front of the devil were puzzled and uncertain, the extended artillery fire suddenly turned around and hit back, and the devils exposed in the field fortifications were covered by artillery fire in an instant, and in the direction of the south gate, Tang Qiuli concentrated one-third of the army's artillery, in order to kill and injure a lot of devils and reduce the probability of street fighting.

Zheng Yong, who fought with devils in the northeast for several years, became more and more skilled in the art of commanding artillery, and before the battle began, he deployed artillery of different calibers and firing ranges in different regions, and assigned fixed targets, just like now, what suddenly came back was mainly the 92-type infantry guns, equipped with high-explosive shells, and sent nearly 1,000 devils to the western sky.

After tossing a few times, the devil defenders at the south gate lost nearly half of their troops, and the infantry of the Bloody Hand Regiment only made a few tentative attacks, encountered a little resistance, and immediately withdrew to the attack position, followed by a burst of artillery bombardment.

Nakazawa was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, he didn't understand very much, where did the Zhina troops get so many shells, seeing that their troops were loyal and brave soldiers, under the fierce artillery bombardment of the bloody hand regiment, they turned into clouds of blood mist and human body fragments, Nakazawa trembled in distress, and if it continued like this, the defense troops at the south gate would be tossed away.

In other directions, there was no fighting for the time being, and the Bloody Hand Regiment poured all its strength into attacking the South Gate, and Nakazawa painfully ordered that a squadron of troops be drawn from each of the other three directions to quickly reinforce the South Gate, and at the same time, he ordered the Heavy Artillery Brigade to support the South Gate with firepower, and be sure to destroy the artillery position of the Chinese army, which was one of his trump cards, and was ready to suddenly take it out when the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment charged, and give the Chinese people the greatest damage.

Now there is no way, I have to use it in advance, solve the defensive position of the South Gate, the artillery of the Bloody Hand Regiment, the heavy artillery of the devil, on the launch position in Jinzhou City, roared, the orange ballistic, pierced the night sky, and the heavy shells kept falling on the artillery position of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and it was really powerful, and the artillery position of the Bloody Hand Regiment was shrouded in scorching steel fragments and smoke and dust.

The devils who were devastated by the artillery of the Bloody Hand Regiment just now cheered, the tiger did not exert its might, and used me as a sick cat The cannon of the Japanese Empire will always be more powerful than the cannon of the Chinese people.

In fact, what Tang Qiuli was most concerned about was that the two pillars of Jinzhou City's defense, the devil artillery and the armored army, before the devil artillery began to shell, the troops attacking the south gate, including the artillery, had already moved to a safe area, leaving the empty position to the devil.

As soon as the devil's heavy artillery fired, the special operations detachment in the city was overjoyed and worried that they could not find it.

The devils in the city are all attracted to the four directions, the devil artillery position, only one infantry squad serves as a guard, these devils, while watching the artillery shirtless, busy in full swing, while not stopping to admire, the Japanese Empire is powerful, you see, as soon as the artillery of our imperial army spoke, the artillery of the people of the branch was dumb at that time.

I didn't notice that there were already hundreds of black shadows, as light as leopards, touching them, these devils only cared about admiring the martial arts of the imperial army, and thought that there would be such a group of killing gods in the well-defended city.

A team, more than 70 devils, was solved by the * net profit, the devil artillery, is doing a good job, the special combat team pounced, a dagger with bullets, not a single live mouth left, these devil artillery, the defensive ability is almost zero, except for a few commanders carry, self-defense with the Wang Ba box, the rest of the devil artillery, not even a rifle, that can withstand the ferocious attack of these special forces.

In the blink of an eye, these heavy artillery pieces changed owners, the leader of the special operations detachment, and immediately reported the news to the command headquarters, and solved the devil heavy artillery brigade that posed the greatest threat to the troops.

The devil defending at the south gate is very strange, why don't you fight*? The artillerymen guys know how to be lazy

Before they could finish complaining, the cannonballs from the opposite side came again, and the devils had to keep their mouths shut and hide in the shelter or bunker to accept another round of destruction.

Kiichi Nakazawa was also very strange, the phone from the heavy artillery position could not be reached, and he immediately sent a herald to check the reason, and at this moment, in the direction of the north gate, there was a sudden thunderous explosion.

This voice was louder than that of the south gate, and Nakazawa Xi made a "boom" in his head.
