Chapter 104: Full range bombing
Telegram signals kept shuttled back and forth over the Lanfeng battlefield. A telegram soldier quickly accepted the signal and then quickly translated the content of the telegram. However, in order to reflect the purpose of rapid response in this war, Su Dao directly simplified the content of the telegram a lot.
If the mission ahead is successful, only two shorts will be issued. If it fails, one long and one shorts will be told to start attacking in half an hour, and two long and two shorts will be attacking in one hour. For this form of telegraph, there is no need to translate it at all. You just need to be clear whether the telegraph sound is long or short.
"Order the artillery to immediately cover and bomb the preset target from the outside to the inside." Su Dao of the Liuzhuang Village Military Office immediately said to the telegrapher next to him after receiving the news of the successful mission.
In order to receive the news from the front line as soon as possible, Su Dao even came to the telegraph soldiers and waited at around 5 o'clock. When he received the telegraph around 6:50, Su Dao immediately issued an order to attack excitedly.
This battle can be said to be blocking Su Dao, because it is impossible to annihilate a Japanese division unit within five hours. But Su Dao still insists on doing this. The division commanders said before that it was too difficult, or that this was an impossible task to complete. Why didn't Su Dao want to increase the time of the mission?
But he didn't have so much time to increase. The 16th Division was not far behind him. And according to the Japanese fighting habits, he would definitely not ask for help from friendly forces at the beginning. He would only seek support when they felt that they could not hold on.
Otherwise, would it take five hours to arrive at the distance between the 14th Division and the 16th Division? Su Dao is eager to defeat his reputation to the highest level in one fell swoop through a battle. As for Jiang Guangtou's feelings, it is not within Su Dao's consideration.
Su Dao only knew that Jiang Guangtou would only become increasingly dissatisfied with his opinion, because Su Dao didn't know if Jiang Guangtou would cause trouble for himself with the Germans on his back, or secretly shot him. Especially since the battles of Linyi and Zaozhuang, he had such a great advantage. If the 99th Army pursued him with all his might, he would definitely destroy the Fifth Division in a short period of time.
At that time, the Ninety-Nine Army did not pursue, but chose to retreat directly, and instead attacked Jining unexpectedly, and quickly captured Jining. Before everyone could react, the Ninety-Nine Army abandoned the city and advanced westward again. Then the next thing was even more unexpected. The Ninety-Nine Army could be said to be a robbery all the way.
Of course, they snatched the supplementary troops prepared for the next battle in the first war zone. They basically snatched half of the soldiers in each place, and after arriving in Kaifeng, they became even more eager. More than 50,000 new recruits were there. Su Dao held Jiang Guangtou's telegram in one hand and gun in the other hand and snatched the people away.
The news of Su Dao recruiting soldiers in Lanfeng will definitely reach Jiang Guangtou's ears. Moreover, the 99th Army did not hide anything along the way. Too many people can see how many troops the 99th Army has? Even if no one reported it on the way, doesn't Pang Bingxun know? He fought with the 99th Army together. Although he didn't know the specific number of casualties in the 766th Division, don't you know the approximate ones?
If Jiang Guangtou knew that Su Dao passed by Lanfeng and turned back, and after he had escaped, Su Dao didn't know what measures Jiang Guangtou would take against him. Although Su Dao was not afraid, he had to consider the feelings of his tens of thousands of soldiers.
The benefits given by the Germans do not mean that they can stabilize Jiang Guangtou for the rest of their lives. If Jiang Guangtou is annoyed, Su Dao doesn't know if he will do something shocking. So now Su Dao is eager to build the 99th Army into the Iron Army of China and the Strong Army of China through a battle.
Su Dao was also very clear about what consequences it would have caused once he could annihilate the 14th Division within five hours. He could even be arrogant and said that once the predetermined goal of this battle was successful, the 99th Army would definitely be brought into the altar by the people. If Jiang Baldy wanted to deal with Su Dao's 99th Army, he would probably not have to put pressure on him by the Germans, so he would have to think about it carefully.
‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’
The shells continued to explode in the Japanese camp, first from the periphery. The violent explosion and the terrifying trembling of the earth made the Japanese army inside want to rush out, but they dared not make any moves. But if they didn't rush out, they were very unwilling to accept it. At this time, they seemed to have forgotten what Bushido was. There was only one thought deep in their hearts, that was to rush out.
Only by rushing out can one live, and only by living can one win. No matter which country's artillery is not fools, they will not adjust the angle of the muzzle so tilted, because it is not something a professional artillery will do. Now they have finally encountered such artillery that is claimed to be unprofessional, but it is obvious that the Japanese army does not think this is an unprofessional Chinese artillery, but a premeditated artillery attack.
The explosion was bombarded the lives of Japanese soldiers from outside to inside. The Japanese army who wanted to rush out could only be blown to pieces in the artillery fire, and then sprinkled their limbs on the land of China. The Japanese soldiers who had not yet started to rush out were retreating step by step, because the artillery fire was getting closer and closer to them. If they did not retreat, the artillery fire would quickly take away their lives.
The Japanese army's range of activities was constantly compressed. Not long after, the Japanese army felt a little crowded. When they looked back, they were shocked. The people who were still alive were basically within this area. If they retreated like this, would they still be able to fight this battle? They could kill thousands of their own people with just a few shots.
At this time, the Japanese officers seemed to have also reflected. While commanding their respective troops to start breaking out, they attempted to be able to attack China's artillery fire. Moreover, after such a long period of artillery attack, they also knew the premeditation of the Chinese army. If they did not break out, they would probably be wiped out.
Liu Sanpao stood on a temporary platform, holding a telescope in his hand, and saw the battlefield in front of him. The power of the large-caliber cannon is indeed not a cover. Even Liu Sanpao, who was standing on a platform a few kilometers away, could still feel the violent shaking of the wooden platform.
However, when Liu Sanpao saw the scene on the front line, he finally put away the smile on his face, and then looked at the communications soldier who had been preparing for it under him, shouting loudly: "Give power to the artillery brigade, stop the artillery attack in the area No. 3, and change to the artillery attack in the area No. 1."
