The shells dragged the orange-red tail flames and fell from the sky, smashing hard on the Japanese positions!

Boom...

The Japanese army's positions were built very strongly, but they were not built according to the standards of defensive heavy howitzers. One shot came and there was a large pit with a diameter of twenty meters.

The Japanese army within a radius of fifty meters could not see a living person. The broken limbs and broken arms were raining from the sky, and the soil was red.

"Heavy artillery, lie down, lie down..."

A Japanese lieutenant shouted with great force, and a shell exploded not far from him, and the shock wave generated threw him out of the trench fortifications.

It fell down altitude of more than ten meters, and fell down with fear and unwilling eyes, and died!

The feast of death has just begun. The blood of the invaders has washed away the sins they have committed themselves, so that all these sins will be returned to dust and earth!

"emission!"

A shell requires at least two people to lift it, and a piece of asbestos gloves wrapped around the corner of his arms. At the beginning of the battle, the artillery soldiers took off their coats, leaving only a single piece of clothing!

Many people are even shirtless, and their bulging muscles show a tough aura!

Bang!

The shell was pushed into the cannon chamber, and a strong fireworks rushed out, and the hot breath could cook everyone.

"Prepare, let it go!"

Reloading four rounds in one minute is already a speed that can be achieved through actual operation. Thirty-six artillery pieces, nearly a thousand shells were fired in ten minutes!

Such a scene is probably rare on the Chinese battlefield, just for a Sakai detachment with 3,000 people!

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!

What Leng Feng wants is to use the firepower advantage used by the Japanese army to bully the Chinese people to defeat their psychological defenses. China is not a place where you, a small Japanese army, come casually.

The shells fell into the trenches. As long as the Japanese army was hit by a shell, they would disappear into the huge fireball in an instant, and everything on the position was torn to pieces in an instant.

"When the order Xie Zao is ordered, the artillery fire will be extended and the barrage will be fired!"

"yes!"

Leng Feng had already driven from Juye in the rear to the front position. Of course, his position was at least four or five kilometers away from the combat position.

However, with the telescope, he could clearly see the effect of the Japanese positions being shelled.

Xie Zao, who received the order from Leng Feng, immediately ordered the artillery fire to extend deeper and focus on some key fortifications on the Japanese positions, such as fortresses and heavy machine gun fire points!

For a moment, the entire Juancheng was shaking.

boom!

A shell landed not far from Sakai Takashi's command center, and a violent explosion erupted into the sky. The civilian houses of the command center collapsed three rooms under the impact of the explosion shock wave, and at least a dozen Japanese command personnel buried alive.

"Protect the brigade commander evacuated!" The duty officer shouted.

Five or six Japanese soldiers rushed up and pushed Sakai Takashi into an armored vehicle without any explanation. After the armored vehicle was launched, they rushed out in one direction.

There was a sea of ​​fire on the Japanese position, and the dead Japanese soldiers were seen everywhere, with broken limbs and broken arms. The dead and the undead limbs were entangled together.

"Strike!" With the order of the frontier commander and the deputy commander of the New 40th Brigade, Dai Xu, the officers and soldiers who were ready to go rushed out of the trenches and rushed to the Japanese position.

The Japanese position plowed by heavy artillery can no longer be called a position. When the new 40 officers and soldiers rushed up, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Although they have experienced many battles and have seen blood and cruelty, this is the first time that many people have seen such a tragic scene.

The flesh and blood body is hard to withstand steel shells.

The defeat of the National Army on the front battlefield is not because they have a weak will to resist, nor because they do not want to resist Japan, but because they have too many strengths.

In the Battle of Shanghai, 700,000 vs. 200,000, the troops were 3.5 times that of the Japanese army. They were fighting on their own territory. In the end, they were defeated and the capital was lost.

"Report!"

"The Japanese army withdrew from Jishan, Nianzi Chenzhuang, Fengzhuang and other positions, and retreated towards Fenghuang Town!"

"Order the troops not to give Sakai Takashi time to breathe, chase after him and beat him hard!" Leng Feng ordered coldly.

"yes!"

"Teacher's seat, Chief Xue Boling's telegram."

"read!"

"Leng, Chief of Staff of the Western Shandong Corps: The Japanese Doihara Group has sent cavalry reconnaissance troops to our eastern Henan. This morning, a Japanese army suddenly appeared in Neihuang. The area of ​​Yejigang exploded several sections of the railway tracks of our Longhai Railway, causing the entire Longhai Railway transportation to be interrupted. I have ordered General Li Bohao of the 64th Army to be closely guarded to prevent the Japanese raids, and go to your headquarters to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army. Xue Boling, commander of the 1st Corps in the eastern Henan!"

"I called Chief Xue back and said that Doihara Group has been forced into a dead end by me now, so he will not give up. He is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat and will definitely win the fire. He must be strictly guarded and cannot give him any chance." Leng Feng said slowly.

"yes!"

"Deputy Brigade Commander Xie's telegram, Dingtao's Japanese army..."

"Tell the old commander that this is a trick of Kenji Doihara playing the trick of fighting the world. Don't worry, fight and retreat, and lengthen the front line." Leng Feng ordered.

"The same goes for the Third Army."

"Guoguang, can the New 38th Division be pressed on the entire line?"

"Don't hurry, wait a little longer." Leng Feng waved his hand. Before Tu Feiyuan could move, the new 38th Division was not in a hurry to press the entire line. Besides, the troops in his hands were not very sufficient.

Caozhou, 3:40 pm.

"The division commander and General Sakai's telegram for help were hit hard by the First Division of the Honorary Division of the Chinese Army. Leng Feng transferred his heavy artillery regiment to the direction of Juancheng. The firepower of the Chinese Army far exceeded theirs, and the position was captured by them in half an hour." The adjutant finished reading the telegram.

The entire 14th Division headquarters was silent. The news was too sudden. The Sakai Detachment's combat effectiveness was not weak, and there were a large amount of ammunition and medicine supplies.

In the eyes of many people, Sakai Detachment can hold on to Juancheng for at least half a month.

"Order Takashi Sakai to shrink his troops and focus on defending Juancheng, Old City, and Dongkou. If necessary, you can give up the old city and focus on defending Juancheng and Dongkou." Kenji Doihara said with a gloomy face.

"Hayi!"

"Second Commander, don't we send reinforcements?"

"We have no reinforcements. Sakai Jun must fight this battle by himself. With our existing strength, if we divide the troops again, it will destroy itself." Kenji Doihara said, "Tell Sakai Jun that as long as he can hold on for a week, he will be the hero of the empire. At that time, I will lead the troops to rescue him."

"Hayi!"

What game, the new 36th Brigade blocked the position.

Behind them, there were rumbling cannons coming from the direction of Juancheng, indicating that the busyness was being fought there. They had been waiting for more than two hours, and they didn't even see a shadow of the reinforcements from the little Japanese.

"Grandma, I've been waiting for a long time now, and I haven't even seen a Japanese hair. Do you think this Japanese are afraid of our Honorary Division and dare not come?"

"Haha, the Japanese are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. You don't know that in Nanjing, the Japanese killed was urinating. At that time, our regiment commander was just a battalion commander..."

"Is that true, company commander, let's talk to us. What glorious history does our commander have?"

"You really want to hear it?"

"I want to hear, I want to hear, company commander, please tell me quickly."

"this……"

"Company Commander, I also hid a pack of Japanese cigarettes here. When I was fighting Japanese in Shan County, I went to hide them quietly..." A soldier handed over a pack of cigarettes in a flattering manner.

"Where did you come from? I knew you had a pack of cigarettes hidden and didn't hand over it." The company commander snatched it over, and none of him enjoyed it alone. He scattered it around and everyone had a share.

"The Japanese's cigarettes are all good, but they are too light and not strong enough..."

"This Japanese girl is so strong!"

"Have you tried it?"

"I don't."

"Well!"

"No, those women are really pitiful. I really don't know what they think. I heard that they all came here voluntarily, so some comfort women are there? The little Japanese is so stupid."

"Company Commander, let's talk about our regiment commander!"

"Okay, I'll talk about it, let you guys open your eyes. By the way, our leader, surnamed Zhang, name is Tiehan, the word "..."

In the Frontier Command of the Third Regiment of the New 36th Brigade, Zhang Tiehan was promoted from grassroots officers all the way. He was born in Muluo. In the Honorary Division, there were many officers from Muluo, but Zhang Tiehan was the first to reach the level of regiment commander.

This is really not about origin, but about ability. It is not easy for people who have not received professional military education to develop in the military, especially in regular military schools. The room for progress and growth in general military academies is much larger than that of people who come from soldiers.

But if you really come up step by step from soldiers, you must have mastered talents and practical people. This type of person is almost all born soldiers.

Zhang Tiehan had a low level of education. When he was a child, he let go of cows, fought iron, and worked as a railway worker. Later, he became a soldier and stayed in the 19th Route Army. He went to the Central Army. During the Battle of Shanghai, he was captured. He was one of the batch of national army prisoners that Leng Feng exchanged for the captured Japanese pilots.

At that time, the Honorary Division lacked experienced officers. Zhang Tiehan was the first group of prisoners of war to voluntarily join the Honorary Division. He was soon reused by Leng Feng and was promoted from company commander to battalion commander. In less than half a year, he was already the commander of the main regiment.

"Captain, we have been there for almost a long time. Why is the Japanese reinforcements not moving at all?"

"Han Liang, you must be patient." Zhang Tiehan's face was cold, and his eyes were always on the road leading to Caozhou. If Japanese reinforcements came over, they would definitely have to follow this road.

Of course, this is not the only road, but this road is closest, and the reinforcements are like putting out fires. If you take a detour, it will be far away.

"It will be dark in two hours. Will the Japanese not come?"

"I can't tell you this."

"Team commander, brigade commander's phone number!"

"It's me, Zhang Tiehan."

"Captain Zhang, I order you to leave a battalion on the position, and the rest of the troops will quickly withdraw from the position."

"Brig Commander, what's going on?"

"The master's order, fight in Juancheng tonight!" Sun Zhongren's sonorous and powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"That Japanese reinforcements?"

"There will be no reinforcements, but we can't be careless, so let you leave a battalion to monitor the main road, and you can lead the troops to follow you right away." After Sun Zhongren finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
