Chapter 545: Boom City
In Teng County.
The commander of the Japanese Division brought a group of Japanese officers back to his command center for a while.
The sound of gunfire outside kept coming, making the Japanese division commander Taro Takahashi feel upset and gloomy, walking around the command center with a gloomy face.
A group of Japanese officers stood by silently, their heads lowered, and they didn't dare to let out a moment of excitement, for fear that if they were accidentally attracted by the commander of their division.
After a long time, the sound of gunfire outside seemed to gradually stop. Many Japanese in the command center felt a sudden shock, thinking to themselves, is the battle outside over now?
Sure enough, not long after, an extremely embarrassed Japanese sect master walked in with a sad look on his face and said loudly: "Secretary Commander! The 36th Army has successfully occupied the position in the north of the city, and the entire First Regiment is broken."
After saying that, the Japanese devils also had his head lowered and motionless.
Hearing this, the commander of the Japanese division did not react for a long time and remained motionless. It seemed that time had frozen, and the entire first corps was broken. As Takahashi Taro expected, it was still difficult for Takahashi Taro to accept such a large casualty.
Taro Takahashi was heartbroken. The death of more than 3,000 Japanese devils was the most disastrous defeat since Taro Takahashi entered China.
"Your Excellency of the Division! We need to report the battle situation to Xuzhou immediately and ask for tactical guidance."
The Japanese Chief of Staff, seeing that Taro Takahashi had not responded, finally made a suggestion.
Taro Takahashi waved his hand weakly and said casually: "Then send a report to Commander Nishio Suzuo! Report truthfully and ask for tactical guidance."
Hearing that the position in the north of the city was occupied, the entire First Infantry Regiment was broken, and the Japanese command center was in dismay.
************
The north position of the city.
The fierce battle has ended and the soldiers are already cleaning the battlefield.
The Japanese's corpses were carried out one by one and arranged, and may be buried or burned in groups in the future. As for the Japanese who were crushed in the ruins, there is no way to deal with them for the time being.
The weapons of the little ghosts on the ground were also collected, with piles of weapons and ammunition. The more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers still had a lot of weapons and equipment, and they still looked quite gratifying.
The wealth on the Japanese devils was also carefully searched by the soldiers. There were still many valuable things. Many Japanese officers also found gold bars, pocket watches, pens and other items. As for the military tickets on the Japanese devils, they were discarded like waste paper by the soldiers.
"Comrades, hurry up and clean the battlefield, and dinner will start in half an hour."
"Company Commander! We won't start siegeing the city later."
The company commander looked at the city wall nearly a thousand meters away, smiled, and then said, "Comrades, I heard from the regiment commander that the heavy artillery brigade is waiting for the city to be siege, and it is not our turn for the time being."
"Heavy Artillery Brigade! That's great. You can see the heavy artillery of the Heavy Artillery Brigade's heavy artillery bombardment again."
Many soldiers, seeing that the next heavy artillery brigade was siege, began to look forward to it. While cleaning the battlefield, they thought about waiting for a large number of heavy artillery bombardment to the city.
This huge position is more than 500 meters closest to the Teng County wall. It is a completely safe area. The soldiers will be on standby here later and watch the performance of the heavy artillery brigade.
It's 1130 pm.
Chu Tianming and other senior executives of the 6th Column had already had lunch delivered by the kitchen squad. Now, everyone is gathering together to discuss the war.
"Report to the chief! The heavy artillery brigade is ready for artillery."
"Oh!" Chu Tianming thought, the heavy artillery brigade was very fast, "I passed the order. At about 2 pm, the heavy artillery brigade bombarded the city wall on the north side of Teng County. The shelling time was half an hour. Within this half hour, I would blow the wall on the north side of Teng County."
"yes!"
The correspondent who had just reported the situation answered loudly, then saluted a military salute, walked quickly towards a communication command vehicle, and conveyed Chu Tianming's order to the heavy artillery brigade.
Heavy artillery brigade position.
The heavy artillery brigade had a total of 60 155mm large caliber howitzers, plus a large number of towing trucks, and a large number of trucks that transported shells and artillery, which was also a huge team.
Last night, everyone traveled day and night, and finally reached the designated location at noon today, which is less than 10 kilometers away from the north wall of Teng County.
As soon as they reached this place, the soldiers worked tirelessly and immediately built positions. After more than an hour of busyness, they finally made the final preparations before the shelling. Although the soldiers did not stop overnight, everyone was still full of energy and full of energy.
The brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade looked at the neat rows of cannons, huge muzzles, and pointed to the distance. His heart was full of passion and confidence in his mission.
"Comrades! Hurry up for lunch, and take the lunch time to ten minutes, and fire on the north wall of Teng County where the Japanese guarded them at 2 pm on time."
The brigade commander of the heavy artillery brigade had just received an order from the column headquarters and immediately began to order the soldiers to have dinner. After having enough food, he fired fire at the Japanese.
It's exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.
A signal flare emitted a dazzling white light and rose to the sky. Even in broad daylight, all the soldiers of the heavy artillery brigade could see clearly.
"fire!!!"
Suddenly, the first round of test shots of 60 155mm large caliber howitzers, which had already been prepared, began, but even the test shots were amazing.
The 60 cannons roared together, and the sound of the cannons was deafening. The entire heavy artillery brigade's position was filled with smoke. In the sky, 60 shells made sharp whistling sounds and flew into the distance.
North of Teng County.
Many soldiers from the 6th Column heard the sharp whistling sound from the sky. Everyone knows that the heavy artillery brigade has started firing. Many soldiers were excited and happy, looking ahead intently. Everyone knows that the target of the heavy artillery brigade is the city wall in the distance.
On the city wall in the distance.
Since the position outside the city was lost, the Japanese have stationed heavy troops on the city wall.
The Japanese set up a lot of machine guns on the city wall, and the Japanese were full of Japanese figures. The Japanese looked at the 36th Army wearing camouflage uniforms hundreds of meters away, or even thousands of meters away, and the Japanese were not at peace.
Such a strong defensive position outside the city was defeated, and the Japanese really had no confidence to defend this city wall.
Many Japanese devils also knew that the 36th Army was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery. In the morning, the two sides fought fiercely for the whole morning, and these heavy artillery did not appear. Many Japanese devils guarding the city had a premonition that these heavy artillery would appear sooner or later.
