In a hidden observation post, Suri stood in front of a post and quietly looked at the Japanese position ahead.
Such a large-scale military mobilization of the 300 Army could not be concealed from the rising Japanese army. The commander of the Fifth Division, Imamura Jun, had already ordered the troops to enter a state of war preparation and sent a distress signal to the commander of the 21st Army, Ando Rikichi, who was far away in Guangzhou.
.
However, Ando Rikichi's reply made Imamura very disappointed. There would be no reinforcements within three days, and he had to rely on himself for everything.
While Suri was staring at the Japanese army's position, Imamura Jun in Yangchun City was also staring at the Chinese army's position.
After a long time, Imamura turned around and said quietly to Colonel Yoshimatsu Teramatsu, the chief of staff behind him: "Teramatsu-kun, the Chinese are about to launch an attack. Are the front positions ready?"
Teramatsu Yoshimatsu said respectfully: "Your Excellency, division commander, please rest assured that the warriors are well prepared. As long as the Chinese dare to attack, we will be sure to defeat them!"
"beat?"
Imamura smiled bitterly and shook his head. If it had been any other army, let alone one army, he would not have taken it lightly even if it was two armies. He would have killed them with a large army, but the reputation of the three hundred armies
With their illustrious military exploits on display, if they were defeated so easily, they wouldn't be called the Three Hundred Army.
Imamura dropped this sad topic, "Well, we will know the truth later. But you have to worry more about the port, where we and the 18th and 30th are gathered.
Most of the supplies for the Eighth-Third Division cannot be compromised."
Teramatsu Yoshimatsu said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face: "Your Majesty General, the port has not proactively reported the situation to us for two days, so we don't know what the situation is there."
"Hmph, it's really hard for those navy people to keep up their arrogance." Imamura said displeasedly: "These guys who know nothing after leaving the warship, what they are best at is causing a lot of trouble.
Then they run away, always asking us to wipe their butts, and since they feel so good about themselves, just ignore them."
"But General, according to reports from some soldiers, around two... this morning, someone heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the port, and it sounded very intense, but it stopped after about half an hour."
"Well, what, there is such a thing!" Imamura Jun's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Why are you reporting such important information to me now!"
"I...I...I was afraid of disturbing the division commander's rest, so I didn't tell you!" Yoshimatsu Teramatsu replied in a panic.
"Snapped……"
A crisp sound rang out.
Teramatsu Yoshimatsu received a slap on the face.
Imamura was so angry that he was trembling and yelled, "Baga, you fool, you didn't report such a serious matter to me. Do you still think of me as the division commander?"
"Hai!"
Teramatsu Yoshimatsu also felt a trace of regret in his heart at this moment. He slept in a daze last night. When he heard the news, he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was some stragglers who were harassing him. In addition, there were two ships stationed at the port.
Destroyers and two squadrons of marines, so he didn't pay attention and continued to sleep.
Imamura drank: "You...immediately generate electricity at the port...No, you call directly, ask about the situation there, and then report to me immediately!"
"Hai!"
Teramatsu Yoshimatsu responded loudly, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a dull whistling sound coming from the front. This whistling sound was particularly dull, and it also had a faint sharp sound. His expression immediately changed.
It has changed. Every veteran knows that the larger the caliber artillery, the duller the sound it makes when gliding in the air. Now this sound is obviously the sound of large-caliber artillery, and Teramatsu Yoshimatsu guessed that it is probably the sound of large-caliber artillery.
A heavy artillery of more than 200 caliber!
"Get down quickly!"
Before Teramatsu Yoshimatsu had time to react, Imamura Jun on the side had already shouted loudly, and at the same time, with agility that was incompatible with his age, he rushed towards a nearby bomb-proof hole.
Not long after the two of them got into the shell-proof hole, they felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking as if a giant had hit it with a huge hammer.
"Fire! Shoot for me!"
On the position of the heavy artillery brigade, Wang Dezi was roaring loudly.
Behind him, more than twenty 203-caliber M115 heavy howitzers were spitting out orange-red flames. The 200-millimeter shells opened a red trajectory in the air and landed on the Japanese position in front.
The power of the 203-caliber artillery shells, which is equivalent to eight inches, is huge. Every time a shell hits the ground, a huge cloud of mist will erupt, and the entire land will shake.
Under the bombardment of such artillery shells, the positions built by the Japanese army collapsed one after another like fortresses on the beach.
"Fight back, fight back all!"
The Japanese army was not to be outdone, and the field artillery regiment of the Fifth Division also began to counterattack towards the Chinese artillery position. One shell after another was fired at the Chinese artillery position. In the scarlet fire and smoke, from time to time, there were
The hit soldiers and artillery pieces turned into scrap metal and red rain and mist in the earth-shattering explosion.
Although the quality of the Japanese artillery was very good and the timing of the counterattack was very timely, their field artillery wing was equipped with only more than fifty 75-caliber field guns and a small number of 105-caliber mountain guns compared to the 300-caliber army, including eight-inch
The total number of artillery pieces, including heavy artillery, is over two hundred, which is really far behind in comparison.
Soon, the artillery fire from the Japanese counterattack was like a geisha being suppressed by a group of strong men, and there was no movement except for a faint moan.
After half an hour of fierce bombardment, as if through collective discussion, the lively artillery fire suddenly stopped collectively, and for a while there was an eerie silence on the battlefield.
"Team leader, why did the artillery fire stop? Is it our turn to take the field?"
At the front of the position, among a group of tanks disguised as grey-green, a man turned his head and asked Li Chenzhe, who was holding a grass root in his mouth and staring straight ahead.
The shelling just now made them really happy. As the armored regiment made its debut today, the soldiers of the tank regiment were already gearing up and eager to try.
"flutter……"
After spitting out the weeds in his mouth, Li Chenzhe turned around and cursed with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? That was just an appetizer, and the show hasn't started yet? Just wait and see the show!"
"What, you're still here!" The sturdy loader asked in surprise: "What on earth is it?"
"No, aren't they coming now?" Li Chenzhe pointed at the sky.
"Buzz buzz..."
The loader looked at the sky in the direction pointed by Li Chenzhe, and saw dark clouds flying in front of him. When the dark clouds flew closer, he realized that they turned out to be a large group of bombers.
"What a big guy!"
This was the sigh of all those who saw the "Liberator" bomber flying at low altitude. Even on the ground nearly a thousand meters away, the soldiers still saw the huge figure flying slowly but firmly in the sky.
After a while, more than twenty "Liberators" flew over the Japanese position. As the first one dropped the first bomb, the following bombers also opened their hatches and dropped one bomb.
A heavy aerial bomb.
The bomb carrying capacity of up to six tons made the "Liberator" a veritable mobile arsenal. When the heavy bombs of 200 kilograms and 500 kilograms fell like raindrops on the Japanese army's position, it was seen from the air.
Going down is like black fireworks suddenly appearing on the ground.
In less than twenty minutes, most of the 150 tons of bombs carried by the twenty-five Liberators fell on the Japanese positions, adding to the already riddled positions already riddled with heavy artillery.
Sifted it once.
"Boom boom boom..."
The sudden shock waves roared towards the earth, and everything that dared to block them was crushed by them. Whether it was the trenches dug painstakingly by the Japanese army, the bunkers or the tanks hidden around them, under this unparalleled power
Everything in front of me becomes a joke.
The tank weighing seven or eight tons was blown away without a trace like a child's bubble. After the explosion, the originally well-organized Japanese positions became as desolate as the moon, with no living creature left.
, and the bomber that had dropped its bombs twisted its butt, turned back in a swaggering manner, and returned to the original route.
Seeing this scene in front of them, not to mention the soldiers on the front line, even Su Rui, the instigator, was stunned.
"My dear, those little turtles have already blown up the Japs, so what do you need us to do? Go up and collect the corpses?" Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, the loader couldn't help but murmured.
"Bang bang bang..." At this time, five more flares, three green and two red, flashed in the sky, which was the signal to launch a general attack.
Li Chenzhe couldn't help but swallowed to moisten his dry coughing throat. Only then did he remember to pick up the microphone, open the all-communication channel, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, brothers of the Air Force and Artillery Corps
You guys have paved the way for us, now it's our turn, come on, let me rush!"
"Brothers, rush!"
"Come on!"
The sound of rumbling engines started to sound, and the Somoa S-35 tanks tore off their camouflage, revealing their strong armor. The engines spewed out black smoke and rushed towards the Japanese positions. Their purpose was only one
, that is to ravage the enemy positions that have been bombed into desolation again, and then continue to charge, charge, and charge again! Use their thick armor and artillery to kill those Japanese devils who are not dead! Let them even lose their souls.
