Chapter 488 The attack begins
488
After Hu Bin came down from the artillery position, he took his troops to the front line. Now they have not appeared in the plains, but in the woods. There are artillery soldiers on the Japanese side. If they go out now and are locked by the Japanese artillery, then there will be great casualties.∑.
However, at this time, the Japanese in Suizhou also found something was wrong, because they saw many people in their peripheral positions, all of whom were operating with guns, but they were very scattered. Several times they sent small troops to drive away those people, but when they went out, they were beaten to death.
Now the division commander of the 108th Division felt that his troops seemed to be staring at, but he didn't know where the enemy was, because the scouts they arranged outside had been cleaned up in the past few days, and in the past few days, all his troops returned to the surrounding area of Suizhou City, so now the entire division has become blind.
"Damn it, tell me, are we targeted by Hu Bin's troops?" Taniguchi Motojiro asked as he looked at the generals.
"I don't know yet, but I feel that today, the enemy has significantly increased the reconnaissance force. They have arrived at the position outside our city to investigate. We have dispatched the troops, and it is useless!" Sidi Shiro of the 104th Brigade said, and there is only 52nd Regiment below him, and the 105th Regiment has been killed by Hu Bin on Xiaogan.
"Even if Hu Bin's troops come, we are not afraid of him. Now we rely on the city wall as a defense, and there are so many troops, so we are not afraid of him at all!" Nakano Nakano, the brigade commander of the 25th Brigade, immediately said.
"Well, I'm afraid I'm not afraid of them. Now the Kwantung Army is coming soon. Once they come, our pressure will be much less, and we will be able to counterattack at that time. It's such a shame. The soldiers of the empire are actually compressed into a city. It's really!" Taniguchi Motojiro immediately started to curse.
When the others heard this, they all lowered their heads and faced Hu Bin's troops. They had suffered losses in Henan.
Hu Bin ambushed them last time, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Now they still remember that if the base camp had not replenished their troops again, their 108th Division is now a disabled division, and there are no more than 20,000 troops now.
"Report, there are more and more enemies operating outside now, and judging from the trend, they are investigating our entire position!" A staff officer came in and reported to the general inside.
"Baga, send a telegram to the commander, saying that there are a large number of enemies on our side now, and it is very likely that it is Hu Bin's troops. Please give instructions. In addition, please ask for assistance in investigating whether Hu Bin's large troops have come to our side?" Taniguchi Motojiro immediately shouted at his staff officer.
"Hi!" The staff officer heard this and immediately went to send a telegram.
After a while, the Chief of Staff in Wuhan took the telegram to Okamura's office, and looked at Okamura with a little nervousness and said, "The Commander. The 108th Division sent a telegram over there, saying that there were a large number of enemies there, and it was very likely that it was Hu Bin's troops. Now they asked us to investigate whether Hu Bin's large troops have gone to Suizhou!"
"Nani?" Okamura Yanji stood up in surprise when he heard this.
He had just issued an order to alert the entire Wuhan, thinking that Hu Bin was going to raid his command center, but now there are a large number of enemies on Suizhou, who can stare at the Chinese army in Suizhou. Only Hu Bin's troops are there.
"Damn it, Hu Bin's large army went to Suizhou. What do they want to do?" Okamura Nishi looked at the Chief of Staff in surprise and asked.
"I don't know, I've been thinking. The troops in Suizhou are similar to those in Xiaogan. They have returned to the city and used the city walls as cover. Hu Bin can't achieve a record in Xiaogan. How can he fight in Suizhou? If he can fight Suizhou, why doesn't he fight Xiaogan?" The Chief of Staff was also confused by Hu Bin's deployment.
"No. No, Hu Bin cannot beat Xiaogan, he doesn't want to beat Xiaogan. Xiaogan is the western gate of our Wuhan, why doesn't he fight?" Okamura Nishi walked back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.
Now he himself can't understand why Hu Bin beat Xiaogan. If Xiaogan is beaten, he will be able to threaten Wuhan. The effect of this will not be greater.
"He wants to consume us!" At this time, Okamura Yasuji and the chief of staff shouted almost in unison.
"Damn it. He didn't fight Kogan because Kogan had not many troops. So hurry up. Order Motojiro Taniguchi to strengthen his vigilance. Hu Bin may launch an attack on Suizhou at any time. Haga!" Okamura Yanji immediately shouted loudly.
Now he figured it out that Hu Bin was not unable to fight Xiaogan, but disdained to fight Xiaogan. His purpose was still so clear, to consume himself and make his troops constantly reduce their troops. Once his troops consumed more than two divisions, then he would not have enough troops to attack him.
"Hi!" The chief of staff immediately arrived at the door and gave instructions to the staff outside. After giving the order, he returned to the office again!
"How do he want to fight? Use infantry to rush, tanks to rush. Hu Bin has a tank wing. No, in their China, he should call the tank regiment or tank brigade to rush with these tanks?" Okamura Nishi asked as he looked at him.
"I don't know, but this risk is still very high. Hu Bin's army is just a few people. We have several artillery positions in Suizhou City. Even if a tank from a corps comes to attack, we don't have to worry!" said the chief of staff.
"I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that if Hu Bin really dares to attack Suizhou, he will definitely have a way, and the battle will be over soon. He will not be able to drag our Kwantung Army over. Damn, how will he fight? Using artillery? If using artillery, we are not afraid of them. We also have artillery, and there are more than his!" Okamura Nishi said very annoyedly.
"Hi!" The Chief of Staff had no idea at this time and had no idea how Hu Bin would attack Suizhou, but both of them knew that if Hu Bin really decided to attack Suizhou, they would definitely be sure. They had not seen Hu Bin do anything that was unsure.
The Hu Bin, who they guessed, had already arrived in the forest on the front line at this time. He raised his watch and looked at the time. It was already 12:40 and it was still raining.
"Brother Bin, there are 20 minutes left. Now our troops have also roughly touched the forces of various positions of the front-line Japanese devils!" Fang Lei came over with a map and said.
Hu Bin heard this and walked to a temporary shed built behind, which could block the rain. Hu Bin took the map and opened it and looked.
"Didn't you notify the artillery?" Hu Bin asked.
"I have notified that they have decided to start bombing from Ximen, waiting for the Japanese artillery positions to open fire. As long as the Japanese positions fire, they said, let them fight, we will continue to attack the Japanese infantry and bomb their positions.
According to what you said before, the Japanese must have more than one artillery position in the city. We must wait for all the Japanese artillery positions to open fire. It is best for us to attack again!" Xiang Feng nodded and said.
"How many people are there in the positions outside?" Hu Bin asked looking at the map.
"There are 10 brigades in total, about 13,000 people. There are probably two infantry brigades in the city, as well as artillery brigades, baggage brigades, engineer brigades, and Japanese division command!" Fang Lei immediately reported.
"Okay, kill the infantry corps outside. The Japanese in the city were bombarded by our artillery. I guess there was nothing left. Now it's just that the artillery is showing its power. The God of War is not a false reputation!" Hu Bin put away the map, handed the map to Fang Lei, then left the tent, and looked at the Japanese on the city wall in the distance with a telescope!
"The Japanese may know that we are going to attack them. Look, the Japanese on the city wall have different expressions." Hu Bin saw the Japanese on the city wall, without any relaxed expressions at all, and they all held their guns tightly and immediately started talking.
"Do the Japanese understand?" Fang Lei heard this and looked at it with his telescope.
"You must know. So many of our scouts have been sent out. How can they not find out? Now I guess Okamura Neji can't have lunch anymore, and I don't know if he has eaten it, haha!" Hu Bin laughed when he thought of this.
Before, he used a turtle shell tactic in Xiaogan and forced himself to give up attacking Xiaogan. Now when he arrived in Suizhou, Hu Bin thought of bombing his turtle shell with a cannon and see what he should do.
Hu Bin stood there and observed for a while, then looked at the time. It was already 12:55 and there was still 5 minutes left to attack. At this time, Hu Bin stood there, waiting for the cannon to ring.
After 5 minutes, Hu Bin and the others first heard the sound of shells breaking through the air from the side, and then the sound of bombings blasting. Yang Gaofeng fired the cannon!
"Baga, shelling, shelling, hidden!" Some grassroots commanders on the Japanese heard the sound of shells breaking through the air and shouted loudly. Some scouts who were still monitoring the enemy in the distance on the positions. After hearing this order, they just put away their guns.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The first round of artillery attacks all fell on the Japanese positions. This was just a test fire. After the artillery observers modified the parameters, they still need to be adjusted later.
"Baga, it's really bombing us. Hurry up, send a telegram to the commander. Hu Bin launched a shelling attack on our Suizhou. In addition, he ordered all the troops to enter the anti-aircraft artillery hole!" Taniguchi Motojiro shouted loudly.
"Hi!"
"Order our artillery to calculate the enemy's artillery position immediately, counterattack, and fight back!" Taniguchi Motojiro shouted again!
"Hi!" All the staff in the entire command center were busy. (To be continued.)
