Chapter 702: The General Offensive Begins
Early in the morning of the 14th, the wind and clouds were light.★
Li Delin absorbed the disadvantages of the dispersed use of artillery and concentrated the entire artillery used to encircle and annihilate the Seya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment, and divided it into two groups of artillery, north and south.
The artillery group in the north is mainly artillery from the 2o Legion, while the artillery group in the south is mainly composed of two runners from the honorary first division, plus the artillery regiments belonging to the New 38th Brigade, two artillery regiments directly under the Military Commission, two artillery battalions of the 2o Division, and other artillery soldiers from various units participating in the encirclement and annihilation.
The number of artillery guns of the southern cannon group is more than 120, while the northern cannon group is slightly inferior, with about fifty or sixty.
Of course, there are fewer large-caliber heavy artillery, but the overall number of artillery is already equal to that of the surrounded Japanese army Segaya detachment and Sakamoto detachment, and even slightly more.
Moreover, sufficient shells are the most critical. In comparison, the Japanese army's shells are not that sufficient, and they need to deal with attacks from all directions from the Chinese J team, so the artillery is inevitably not split and used, and the damage power is much smaller!
Six o'clock!
"Sir Li, time is up!"
"Start!" In the command center, Li Delin issued an order to attack the general.
Bang bang...
The shells with the whistling of death hit the Japanese positions.
After the continuous explosions, thick smoke rose from the Japanese positions. The heavy artillery group from deep stopped at all, and the shells kept whistling out.
With such a violent shelling, the Japanese army on the position was blown away with flesh and blood, and the bones were gone.
"The Chinese are taking the final attack!" Setani Kiyo walked out of the low command center, looking at the ballistic flying in the sky, revealing a look of despair.
Wow!
"Your Excellency, fall down!"
A shell exploded not too far from the Japanese command center, and the air waves generated directly overturned the two trucks. The running Japanese soldiers were instantly thrown into the sky!
The Chinese's heavy artillery!
Before this, they already knew that although the intelligence said that the Chinese did not have much equipment, this heavy artillery was powerful and had a long range, which was even further than the heavy artillery they equipped.
This left the imperial cannons unable to deal with the opponent.
However, the Chinese have no chance to equip this kind of artillery again, because this kind of artillery was produced by the Imperial allies, and the Imperial has put pressure on the allies.
"Call for air support, hurry!" Setani Kei got up from the ground and shouted at his subordinates.
"Hayi!"
The entire Japanese position was like a pot of porridge, tumbling everywhere, shells and bombs kept ripping up fire pillars that soared into the sky, dancing with heat waves, rolling unstoppable.
"You little Japanese, you have today too!"
"This shot is so exciting!"
“So, too spectacular…”
"Beat his dog. The little Dongyang raised by my mother!"
On the gj position, the officers and soldiers were so excited when they saw the Japanese army being bombed. Didn’t this Japanese relied on their sharp artillery fire? This time, they should also taste the shell dumplings prepared for him!
This time, Li Delin had already made all his family's fortunes and had to give the Japanese army a ruthless one, so the artillery fire was prepared for a full quarter of an hour.
Five minutes later, artillery fire began to advance deep into the Japanese positions!
The officers and soldiers who had already prepared long ago rushed out of the trenches under the leadership of their respective commanders and rushed to the Japanese positions. The shouts of killing sounds were heard all over the mountains.
"kill!"
Under the guidance of a red flag on the blue sky and white sun, the G army officers and soldiers burst out with twelve points of combat power, rushing over, grenades and light and heavy machine guns, aiming at the Japanese army on the position and sweeping over.
The Japanese army defending was already exhausted, and a gap was opened and instantly washed away.
The Japanese defensive front was torn into a mess in ten minutes.
"Moshimoxi, Huangzhuang's position has been lost..."
"Nani, surrounded, dud..." It was obviously the phone line that was cut off.
“…”
In an emergency, calls for help came one by one, but Setani sent out all the reserves at hand, which was not enough.
Southeast of Yi County, Ganlu Temple.
Part 6o Army, which was attacking head-on, suddenly let go of a hole.
The guarding of this position was a brigade of the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment. The position commander Major Miki tried his best to finally repel an attack.
But the loss was still quite large. I thought I was relieved. If the Chinese reorganized the attack, it would take ten minutes to go.
But just as Miki was about to find a cigarette to take a sip, he was suddenly patted by a soldier beside him on the shoulder.
He turned around, his eyes widened, and the cigarette in his mouth fell down unconsciously.
A gray torrent rolled in from the sky, leading by dozens of tanks and armored vehicles. The troops behind were lined up in neat steps, and the end was endless!
How familiar is this formation. Master Miki stood there like a wooden carving.
Dodol!
Five hundred meters away from the position, the front row of tanks began to fire. The shells fell into the Japanese position, and the flames suddenly exploded. The vehicle-mounted machine gun hit the position with barrage. The Japanese army in the fortifications could not raise their heads at all. When they showed their heads slightly, they caused a bloody storm.
The charge began, the neat formation began to spread out, and the mountains and fields were everywhere!
The cold light of the bayonet reflected on the enemy's positions. The Japanese soldiers who were already at the end of their strength all showed despair and fear. Until this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the positions were considered strong-willed people.
But seeing this scene, many of them collapsed!
"I want to go home..."
"I want mom!"
“Woo woo…”
This momentum is like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
"It's them..."
Major Miki was frightened and showed a fearful look. He was so familiar with the Chinese team J that came towards him. It was really the Chinese team that fought with them for nine days and nights in Taierzhuang. The number is: New 38th Brigade.
Didn’t this Chinese J team retreat and rest? Their casualties in Taierzhuang are not under the empire, so why did they suddenly appear again? And judging from the state and momentum, that is even more important than before!
Little did they know that the new 38th Brigade, which was supplemented, not only restored its combat effectiveness, but also had better military strength than before, and its weapons and equipment were also strengthened, and it was almost resurrected in full health.
Originally, Leng Feng had other uses for the new 38th Brigade, but as a result, Leng Feng had to adjust his plan and some things could only be suspended or given up.
This is what is called "unmoving as a mountain" and a strategy like fire.
"No retreat is allowed, the person with the hind legs will die!" Major Miki pulled out his gun and fired twice at the sky. His bloody eyes yelled at his subordinates!
The Japanese army running back paused, but only paused for a moment, but did not listen to him and continued running backwards.
Miki raised his gun and shot one of the Japanese soldiers running back!
A shot hit the runaway Japanese soldier was shot.
"Escaper, die!"
"kill!"
The New 38th Brigade broke through the Japanese defense line in Ganlu Temple without any effort. Although the Grandmaster Miki stopped his subordinates from escaping, he was eventually crushed by a torrent of steel.
The attack on the whole line further compresses the Japanese army's living space!
The new 38th Brigade, which was well-equipped and not inferior to the Japanese army, had no reservations and pushed them all the way. The Japanese Sakamoto Detachment deployed by the Japanese army in the southeast of Ishi Prefecture could not stop it at all, and retreated with great strides.
It was pushed to the vicinity of Qilidian east of Yi County before it could barely stand firm and rely on the terrain and built fortifications to block the offensive momentum of the new 38th Brigade.
Along the way, the Japanese army threw away their armor. Although the surrounded Japanese army had little money and wealth, there were still many good things, such as trucks without oil, broken tanks, and many things, which naturally entered the pockets of the New 38th Brigade.
Shun Sakamoto was also scared. Even if he was surrounded, he had never been afraid. It was easy for Chinese to surround him, but it was not easy to eat him.
He believed that his soldiers would definitely fight to the end, and the empire would be invincible.
However, he was frightened by the new 38th Brigade. This GJ team was too fierce and was no worse than the Imperial J team. If it were the time of full strength, he would not be afraid, but now his troops are already exhausted!
"The new 38th Brigade played well, so we have much greater chance of winning!" Li Delin met Luo Yufeng's call and was extremely surprised. He was the right move.
The New 38th Brigade really lived up to expectations and gave the Japanese army the most fatal blow!
"Order Tang Keqin to cut off the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang and Yixian areas and annihilate them separately!"
"yes!"
Tang Keqin was stimulated by the new 38th Brigade and ordered the 85th Army to attack Zaozhuang. At the same time, he ordered an elite force to intersect on the Dongzhuang line and join with the 31st Division of Chi Fengchen, the Lu division of the Second Army on the South Line, and divide the two major Japanese groups.
At around 4 pm on the 14th, the two troops finally met on the Dongzhuang line and divided the Japanese army into surrounds. The New 38th Brigade on the Eastern Front took over. Tang Keqin transferred the main force of the 52nd Army to Zaozhuang direction and encircled and annihilated the main force of the Japanese Segu Detachment!
The 6o Army was divided into two parts, part of which cooperated with the Tang army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Seya Detachment, part of which cooperated with the New 38th Brigade and the Second Army to siege the Japanese army in Ichi Prefecture, mainly part of the forces of the Sakamoto Detachment and the Seya Detachment!
The commander of the Japanese 1st Division of the Fuji Prefecture, far away in Fuji Prefecture, Ryosuke Isotani did not expect that the Segaya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment would be defeated so quickly, and were actually divided and surrounded by the Zhongg army within one day.
He was anxious and hurriedly reported to the Second Army Command to request reinforcements.
But at this time, the Second Army Command could only provide air support to the surrounding Setani Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment. In addition to airdropping bombs and drug supplies, it sent the air force to participate in ground strikes.
The Japanese Air Force caused certain troubles and attacks on the ground forces, but it could not change the direction of the battle. The encirclement of the Japanese Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment became smaller and smaller.
At 5:38 pm on the 14th, the Chibuzhou team deciphered the secret telegram between the Japanese Second Army Command and the 5th Division, and the Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Qingcheng would go south to reinforce.
It is expected to arrive in Linyi at noon on the 15th and will most likely meet with Guoqiden of the Fifth Division. In this way, Zhang and Pang, who are guarding Linyi, will be under great pressure.
Moreover, once Linyi is broken through by the Japanese army and encircled and annihilated the Japanese army Seya, the plans of the two major detachments of Sakamoto will have serious impacts.
Li Delin received a telegram from Leng Feng and immediately pulled out a division from Zhou Yan's 75th Army, marched quickly, and rushed to Linyi. At the same time, he built positions in Lanling and Tancheng, and sent guards to block the Japanese army at any time.
