It was almost evening, and the headlights in the spacious office had been turned on. The bright lights illuminated every corner of the office. Su Tong and Jiang Baili were sitting inside, nervously listening to the battle reports from the front line.
"Battle report of the Fifth Division: Our troops severely damaged the enemy's 149th Division today, annihilating more than 8,000 enemy troops and capturing them without any hope. It is now apparent that the enemy has taken a defensive position."
"Gao Zhihang reported that today the Fourth Division of the Aviation Force of our 7th Theater Command fought fiercely with the Japanese Army on the Zhangwu and Tongliao lines. More than 200 enemy aircraft were shot down, and our army lost 96 aircraft. The bomber group achieved brilliant results and annihilated the Japanese Army on the ground.
There are countless troops.”
"Luo Zhuoying reported that today he had a fierce battle with four divisions of the Japanese army in Zhangwu. The Japanese army's offensive was extremely fierce, but they were unable to take advantage under the intensive firepower of our troops. The fierce battle continued until the afternoon and our aircraft assisted the battle.
, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and had to stop the attack. Our army took the opportunity to counterattack and severely damaged the enemy, annihilating more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers, and the results were brilliant."
Good news came one after another, which made Su Tong, who had always been a little nervous, open his brows a lot. With his eyes closed, his fingers kept tapping on the table unconsciously. After a while, Su Tong's eyes suddenly opened.
, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said to Jiang Baili, who was looking at him with a smile: "My chief of staff, we have been suppressed and beaten by Tojo Hideki for so long, and now it is our turn.
Let’s give them some color.”
Jiang Baili laughed loudly, "You are the commander, you decide this matter."
"Okay, let's go ahead and kill him." After saying that, Su Tong picked up the phone, shook it, and said, "Hey, pick up the Third Armored Division and let Wu Jilong pick up the phone."
At the 41st Group Army Headquarters in the Seventh Theater, Yu Chengwan was sitting in the headquarters looking at Hu Lian eagerly. It had been a whole week. He came to the headquarters every day to ask for a fight, but Hu Lian gave him only one word of the order: "
wait"
Seeing the brothers' troops fighting so lively on the front line, while he was leading an elite unit sleeping in the back, Yu Chengwan, who had just arrived and was eager to make meritorious deeds and prove himself, why was he not anxious?
Hu Lian, who had just signed a document, looked at Yu Chengwan sitting aside and sighed. He moved a shell box and placed it next to Yu Chengwan before sitting down, "My old senior, I have already said a lot.
It’s time. It’s useless for you to be anxious. It’s not that I won’t let you go, but this is Commander Su’s order. He said that good steel should be used on the blade. You go back first. If there is a combat mission, I will
Notified you."
Yu Chengwan smiled bitterly and said, "Boyu, it's not that I, Yu Chengwan, am unreasonable, but as soon as I went back and saw the fighting eyes of the group leaders below, I felt that I had no face to see them. You also know that I
This division commander is also new here, so I’m afraid the people below won’t accept it.”
"Humph, if anyone dares to disobey, just ask them to come to me. I don't believe it and dare to rebel against them." Hu Lian glared angrily and cursed smoothly.
"You are their senior officer, so you don't need to be afraid of these things, but I have only been here for a few days." Yu Chengwan shook his head and was about to speak.
"Ling Ling Ling Ling"
Suddenly, the phone rang. Hu Lian grabbed the phone and as soon as he heard the voice, he stood at attention like a conditioned reflex and said loudly: "Hello, sir, please give me your instructions."
At this time, a clear voice came faintly from the microphone: "I ordered to prepare a counterattack according to the plan."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task," Hu Lian assured loudly.
After putting down the phone, Hu Lian turned back to look at Yu Chengwan and said with a smile, "Old senior, now your wish has come true. Now you go back to organize the troops and prepare for combat. At eight o'clock tonight, all divisions and above will
All the officers came to the headquarters for a meeting.”
The sky was getting brighter. On the position of the 211th Regiment of the 149th Division of the Japanese Army, Private Ryogo Ikeda was awakened by the urge to urinate. He wanted to stay in bed but he really didn't want to get up. In the end
Unable to hold it any longer, he reluctantly got out of the warm bed, went to a small hole next to the position, and started pouring water.
The attacks in the past few days have really exhausted these people. The three consecutive days of attacks have consumed a lot of their energy. The heavy casualties of the troops have made Ryogo Ikeda, a veteran, unbearable.
Once upon a time, the Chinese people were synonymous with cowards and timidity. When the soldiers and officers in the division mentioned the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers, many people dismissed them. Although there have been many rumors in the past year that the Kwantung Army has
Many divisions have suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Chahar Army. However, due to the high-level information blockade and efforts to downplay it, many soldiers and low-level officers at the bottom do not understand the combat effectiveness of the Chahar Army. In other words,
Don't want to believe it.
However, the battles in the past few days have allowed them to see a fact that they had not known and were unwilling to face. That is, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people is no worse than that of the imperial soldiers, or even worse, especially their firepower.
It was so ferocious that the bravery that the Imperial soldiers had always been proud of actually had no use for it.
The brave imperial soldiers fell in front of the Chinese positions one by one. Under the dense rain of bullets, Ryogo Ikeda found that the only thing he could do was to find a place to hide and not show his head.
For this reason, Ryogo Ikeda was almost killed by the squad leader Sergeant from Hokkaido. However, the irony was that when the brave squad leader was about to kill him, he was hit by a stray bullet from the Chinese.
He died. When he thought of the squad leader's eyes that were wide open as he died, Ryogo Ikeda felt that this world was really amazing. The squad leader who had always been brave in his heart died, but he, a person who was afraid of death, survived.
, Could it be that Amaterasu does not bless those warriors but cowards like me? This world is so ironic
The biting cold made Ikeda Ryogo shiver, and he quickly put the small convenience thing that was about to freeze after being exposed to the air for too long back into his pants.
Ikeda Ryogo tied his pants and turned around to prepare to return to the simple but still warm shell-proof cave. Suddenly Ikeda Ryogo felt a faint light coming from the distance.
"Nani what is that?"
Ikeda Ryogo, who thought he was dazzled, wiped his eyes with his hands and then his eyes widened again. Yes, it was a burst of bright light. Bursts of fiery red light came from a distance. The bright light became brighter and brighter, turning the originally gray eyes.
The whole sky glowed red.
"No," Ryogo Ikeda shouted loudly. Although he didn't know what it was, but with the intuition of a soldier, Ryogo Ikeda knew that it must be nothing interesting. He watched the dazzling light getting closer and closer.
It was getting brighter and brighter, and in a hurry, Ryogo Ikeda got into the small hole where he had just peed.
Thanks to Amaterasu, the small hole was just big enough to fit him in. Although his nose was filled with the smell of urine, in Ryogo Ikeda's eyes at this time, this place was heaven.
Soon, the bright light finally approached, and a loud bang sounded on the battlefield. The violent explosion shook the small hole where Ryogo Ikeda was hiding. Immediately afterwards, dense and violent explosions continued to be heard,
Several shells were also hit near the small hole where Ryogo Ikeda was hiding.
The deafening explosion made Ryogo Ikeda think that he was going to die in this unprecedented bombing. Fortunately, the bombardment came and went faster. In less than five minutes, this inexplicable and unprecedented bombing ended.
.
Ryogo Ikeda was about to climb out of the small hole, but then he heard a familiar whistling sound.
"Baga, it's that person's 155 howitzer." Ryogo Ikeda groaned in pain. He was too familiar with the sound of this kind of artillery. It was a cannon only equipped by the empire's heavy artillery brigade. One shot would cover a radius of five
There were no humans or animals within ten meters. I don't know how many brave soldiers of these Japanese empires fell under this kind of artillery fire.
At this time, on the nearly 40-kilometer long front line of Tongliao, the 4th Artillery Division and the 5th Artillery Division, a total of more than 500 cannons with a caliber of 105 or above, were roaring continuously.
Vent out all the humiliation you suffered.
"Bang"
There was a crisp sound, and a shiny shell shell ejected from the barrel and fell to the ground with green smoke.
Before the gunner could say anything, the loader on the side had already loaded the fused shells with his hands wearing thick asbestos gloves.
"Dang" the gun bolt was immediately closed.
"Loading completed"
"put"
"boom"
The whole body of the artillery weighing more than ten tons shook, and a burst of thick smoke came out of the huge muzzle. The barrel of the cannon shrank and then reset. At this time, the commander's voice could no longer be heard from the artillery position.
The sound of artillery was so continuous that even if I put earplugs in my ears, I still couldn't stop the deafening sound of artillery.
In the observation post, Wang Qinglong kept his eyes on the high-power observation scope to observe the Japanese positions in the distance, but finally gave up because of the heavy smoke.
At this time, the correspondent ran over: "Sir, aerial reconnaissance has reported that most of the Japanese army's first-line positions have been destroyed and can be extended to the Japanese army's second-line positions."
"Okay, order the artillery fire to extend to the enemy's second-line position, and move quickly."
"yes"
"Bang bang"
Two green signal flares rose over the artillery position. Even the dense smoke could not block the dazzling light. When the signal flares rose at the front of the position, the sound of artillery on the position paused for a while.
The artillerymen quickly took the time to adjust their range and angle, and within a minute they started roaring again.
Not far from the artillery position, there was a large black shadow lurking there motionless, as if an ancient beast was sleeping. Wu Jilong stood on the command tower, holding a telescope and observing the front motionlessly.
"Report, our army's artillery fire has begun to extend towards the Japanese army's second-line positions. Signal flares have been sent out," an observer reported.
Wu Jilong shouted loudly: "Let's order the troops to start the tanks and prepare to set off."
