When the division commander, Ogisu Tatehei, encouraged the morale of the commander of the 58th Infantry Regiment, Shintake Takada, the other party quickly began to mobilize his 58th Regiment and began to prepare to attack the Jiangyin position.

The troops of the 112th Division, the main division of the 57th Army of the Northeast Army.

The Japanese 58th Regiment, under the command of commander Shintake Takada, soon began to deploy the offensive momentum and combat deployment for another attack.

A group of Type 96 tanks and Type 97 tanks and combat vehicles were also dispatched to carry out coordinated infantry and tank operations.

"Hey! Is that the position of the 112th Division of the Northeast China Army in front of you?"

"When will our Imperial Air Force dispatch flying troops to carry out air raids and bombings?"

"This time I'm asking for round-the-clock air strikes!"

"And what's the response from the navy side?"

"Are they willing to provide us with all-weather gun batteries for bombardment operations?"

"If not, it will take at least three hours of shelling and bombardment from the naval gun group to support the operation!"

"Because my combat goal is very simple, that is, I must fully occupy this small Chinese city within one day!"

"It's also because our useless warriors from the 65th Regiment died here to wipe away the shame and take revenge!"

The commander of the regiment, Colonel Takada Shintake, asked all the Japanese officers around him.

Especially the three new Japanese captains whom he promoted were even more under his direct gaze.

"Report! Your Excellency, Captain!"

"The first batch of our flying troops has arrived in the airspace here. You can see that they have already appeared and are heading towards the position of the 112th Division of the Northeastern China Army, preparing for air strikes!"

"As for our naval fleet, it is also ready for the artillery bombing operation of the naval gun group and can be put into operation at any time!"

"After our air raids and bombings are over, we can launch large-scale artillery bombings. The scene will be spectacular by then!"

"The Chinese Army will definitely be frightened to death by our joint naval and air bombardment, especially if the artillery bombardment of our artillery unit also joins the battle, it will be even more powerful!"

One of the Japanese captains who was raised, Yanagida Hiroshi, stood up first and answered.

"Hahaha! Yoxi! That's good! This time we will definitely be able to annihilate the Northeastern China Army that came for reinforcements without any effort, and occupy the entire Jiangyin City of China, ending the battle here!"

After hearing this,

Takada Shintake, the captain of the 58th Infantry Regiment, also immediately let out the most comfortable and hearty laugh, laughing loudly.

And he also turned his attention to the Japanese aircraft group in the sky.

He was ready to enjoy the sight of the Japanese planes bombing the 112th Division of the Northeastern Army in an air raid.

........

........

And at this time,

On the defensive position of the 112th Division of the Northeast Army,

"The head can be cut off, but the ambition cannot be bent. I swear to live or die with Jiangyin City!"

"Brothers, the time has come for you to sacrifice your life and serve your country!"

"After the enemy's artillery bombardment is over, you all will defend Jiangyin City to the death!"

"Until the last soldier is killed, no Japanese will be allowed to enter here!"

Mr. Huo, who has just finished taking over the defense

After he observed the Japanese 58th Regiment outside and the incoming enemy artillery unit,

He also immediately called the four company commanders under him to a hidden fortification and gave a brief lecture.

"I swear to live and die with Jiangyin City!"

........

He modified the morale-boosting speech given by Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing before the battle, and used it to boost the morale of his troops:

........

…………

"Buzz buzz..."

"Buzz buzz..."

........

At this moment,

In the gray rainy day, there were waves of low roars of aircraft engines in the sky. At an altitude of 6,500 meters above the ground, thirteen Type 97 heavy explosive aircraft were escorted by eight Nakajima Type 1 fighters.

Flying over the position of the 112th Division of the Northeastern Army.

The commander of this operation, Hirono Takayoshi, was sitting in the cabin at the moment, looking at the clouds below him, and an uneasy feeling came to his heart.

"Why do I have a bad feeling?"

"Could it be that we are going to fight in such bad weather?"

"But the place we are about to bomb is just a Chinese army city without anti-aircraft artillery?"

"Baga! What is going on? It makes me so uneasy?"

He was a little irritable inside and muttered,

"All flying units should pay attention to lowering the altitude to below 1,000 meters to 800 meters. After the bombing is completed, they can return immediately."

"Today's weather is relatively bad, everyone must be careful to complete this combat mission!"

"Let the Chinese cities below see how powerful our Imperial Air Force is!"

But soon, he quickly turned on the onboard microphone and issued combat instructions.

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

........

As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese pilots' voices of agreement came to his earphones.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, you can rest assured and leave it to us. Except for a few anti-aircraft guns deployed by the China Army in the capital of Nanjing and behind them, there will never be any anti-aircraft guns with anti-aircraft firepower in such a remote city. We

It's as safe here as in your own back garden, so you can just leave it to us to carry out the bombing operations."

"We promise that within fifteen minutes, we can blow up this small Chinese city and make it full of ruins!"

At the same time, the captain of the flight team, Takeru Takamura, also conducted airborne communication with confidence and replied,

"Baga, Gao Cun, I know you are very confident, but the war has just begun, and the flying troops of the China Army have not been completely annihilated by our Imperial Air Force, and we are still in China.

We have controlled flight airspace, so we must not be too careless, we must be more cautious!"

But in the face of the support of the flight captain under him,

However, after being satisfied with the other party's agreement, Lieutenant Colonel Hirono Takayoshi also gave a kind reminder.

"Okay, Lieutenant Commander, as you wish."

The captain of the flight squad, Takeru Takamura, didn't have the slightest bit of concern. He kept the other party's reminder in his heart and still said with a smile.

For him, Jiangyin City, a city without anti-aircraft firepower,

Even in the gray weather, he would not take it lightly and could carry out unscrupulous bombing operations.

It was also because of this that he didn't take the upcoming air raids and bombings too seriously to be wary of anything.

After finishing speaking, he immediately operated the Type 97 heavy explosive machine he was driving and flew quickly at low altitude.

Get ready to start selecting suitable bombing targets for you,

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Hirono Takayoshi had no choice but to

Liu Feiyang's air defense troops had just entered their combat positions again and were preparing to continue preparing for air defense operations at their strongholds.

All soldiers of the Northeast Army were also quick to prepare for prevention and control operations under the command of their commander Huo and other officers.

and covert warfare.
