Early the next morning, in the mountains about ten kilometers northwest of Linyi, the troops of the 766th Division began to gather here and stand by.

The Japanese planes were committing crimes in the air. Since the 766th Division's actions were highly confidential at this time, the air defense regiment did not block the Japanese aviation army. Moreover, the target of the Japanese aviation army was Linyi, and it took off directly from the aircraft carrier, so it did not pay attention to the troops gathering not far away.

Xu Sansi, dressed in a major uniform, took out a pack of cigarettes from his top pocket, took out one and handed it to another major next to him, took out a box of matches from another pocket, and lit the cigarette before extinguishing it.

The two of them took a deep breath of cigarettes and enjoyed the best time. A few months ago, Xu Sansi was just a platoon leader, but after this expansion of the army, Xu Sansi, as a soldier of the third battalion, naturally became a battalion commander. So much so that he had not yet reacted and was promoted from platoon leader to battalion commander at once, which made Xu Sansi feel uncomfortable for a moment.

Fortunately, the military headquarters conducted a unified training for the officers who were promoted by the shells. The famous generals from all sides served as mentors and taught them some of the command skills of grassroots troops. In addition, these people had already had command experience, and now they were just commanding more people to fight. After the explanations of the old officers, they soon adapted to this role.

"I don't know what this battle will turn out. Whether the brothers under my command can fight or not is the same." The major suddenly spoke, his face full of worry.

"Don't worry, don't worry too much. We are no longer the same now. At long distance, we have large-caliber artillery support, and machine guns and mortars at close range. In terms of infantry firepower, the Japanese army is not our opponent, and there is no need to worry about the tanks of the little Japanese. They are far inferior to them." Xu Sansi did not feel that he could not beat the Japanese. His analysis of the whole thing was reasonable.

"Oh, Lao Yang, I have touched our tank myself. The armor thickness and fingers hit it. It is much stronger than the Japanese. You haven't seen the tanks of our tank regiment. The artillery is awesome. I heard from their tank soldiers that it was an 85mm tank gun. The Japanese 37mm tank gun was just a grandson." Then Xu Sansi said softly. Now the matter about the tank regiment is absolutely confidential, and it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to spread it randomly. If it weren't for the war that was about to start, even Xu Sansi would not dare to say it randomly.

The major, known as Lao Yang, was stunned when he heard Xu Sansi say this, and then was shocked. Since he came here, the actions of the tank regiment have been mysterious and cannot be seen by ordinary people. Xu Sansi was only fortunate to see it when he followed the division to the tank regiment once.

"Take it seriously? When did you touch our tank?" Lao Yang was even more shocked. The grandsons of the tank group had already regarded the tank as their wives. When others looked at it, they would angrily scold him. Xu Sansi actually said that he had touched it, which made it difficult for Lao Yang to accept this fact.

"Haha, it's all the past, I won't talk about it anymore. No, Xiao Wang of the regiment headquarters is here, probably to start the action." The plane in the distance seemed to fly away again, and the sound of cannons was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that the Japanese army was about to attack. At this time, Xiao Wang, a correspondent of the regiment headquarters, came over, holding two pieces of paper in his hand.

"Xiao Wang, come on, brother tells you that you have to follow me when the fight starts later. I will guarantee you peace and safety." Old Yang quipped from a distance.

Xiao Wang, who was rushing to the scene, ignored Lao Sun's jokes, but there was no excitement on Xiao Wang's face, but there was a hint of worry.

"You two are here, so I can't escape. The regiment has just returned from the division headquarters and started attacking ten minutes later. The military commander gave a death order." Xiao Wang handed the two pieces of paper in his hand to Lao Yang and Xu Sansi, one by one, and spoke.

"What a thing, Xiao Wang, please read it to me quickly. I know that I don't know many words, and I'm dizzy when I give me so many words." Lao Yang held the order in his left hand and covered his head with his right hand. Xu Sansi knew the words, but the order was a bit vague, and it only asked the troops to repel the Japanese attack. However, listening to Xiao Wang's words, Xu Sansi was a little confused.

"The order is here, the military commander said, strictly follow the orders and do not continue to attack the surrendered Japanese troops." Xiao Wang said in a good manner, completely as if he was a leader. He then took a step forward, leaned between the two, and said softly: "The military commander said, if you can not take prisoners in this battle, you should not live if you can kill them. The Japanese army has been in Nanjing for a month and a half, and we must avenge our fellow soldiers who died."

Xu Sansi and Lao Yang nodded secretly, understanding the meaning of going up the peak. They also heard about the Nanjing incident. This time, it is naturally the best and what they hope most.

Five minutes later, the two of them returned to their respective battalions. Now the troops are squatting together to rest on the battalion. The so-called gathering again is nothing more than standing up and picking up the gun.

"The bullet is loaded. When you meet the Japanese army, leave no living, and set off!" Xu Sansi stared at the watch on his wrist. As soon as ten minutes arrived, he immediately waved his hand to order the troops to advance.

After raising troops for a thousand days, it was finally time for them to serve their country. After training for several months, they had long felt that they could do it. After hearing the battalion commander's order, the soldiers who were yelling to go to the battlefield showed excited expressions on their faces, as if they had seen the demise of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the troops showed such a face, my heart suddenly sank. Immediately, I quickly called out the four company commanders under my command, telling them to pay attention to the emotions of the soldiers, and never underestimate the enemy, and let the squad platoon leaders strictly observe the soldiers. They can despise the enemy before the war begins, but in the war, no matter how strong the enemy is, there must be only one outcome, that is failure.

‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’

The artillery regiment, which had already been prepared, immediately sent the shells to the Japanese artillery positions. The Japanese army bullied the Chinese defenders without artillery, but they didn't care whether their artillery positions would be exposed. They did not make any disguise when firing artillery.

So it was able to quickly lock the Japanese artillery positions, and through subsequent observations, the specific location of the Japanese artillery positions was marked on the map. The combat effectiveness of Chinese artillery soldiers in the past is not as good as in later generations, and the combat quality of artillery soldiers is still very good now.

As for the inability to defeat the Japanese, it was because the caliber and quantity of artillery artillery and the supply of artillery shells were too far from that of the Japanese army, which led to the Chinese artillery that could not fight against the Japanese army and would even be directly destroyed by the Japanese army. But now they don’t have to worry about these. The artillery equipped in the Japanese division was simply impossible to compare with the 105 howitzers and 155 heavy artillery of the 99th Army. The Eastern Front (766th Division is the Eastern Front, 767, 768th Division is the Western Front.) have thirty 105mm howitzers and twenty 155mm heavy artillery.

It can even be said without hesitation that just one fifty artillery covers the firepower of these fifty artillery can clear a Japanese artillery position. In front of these two caliber artillery, any cover is useless. Why is artillery called the God of War? Especially large caliber artillery? It is not because a shell can directly kill many people, but how many people can be killed within a certain range of one shell can be killed.

Even if you hide in the anti-cannon hole and the shrapnel of the shell does not hit you, as long as you are within a certain range, the vibration generated by the shell is enough to shake the enemy's internal organs.

The Japanese army, who were full of fighting spirit, had just launched a charge with excitement, but before they could run two steps, they heard louder cannons coming from behind. Many Japanese soldiers turned their heads and looked behind. But this glance completely shocked them. Has their artillery positions been brought to bear?
