Heroes of the War of Resistance

Presumably Okamura Ningji also realized that the flanks were exposed and the situation on the battlefield had changed hands, so he decisively chose to stop the attack.Even when we were not paying attention, we directly transferred the main force on the front line back to ensure that the rear was not lost.

The little devil failed to capture Star City, and he also failed to penetrate our defense line, but the Japanese army still controlled some important military cities in Star City wài wéi.As long as they keep the fruits of victory wài wéi, even if the Japanese army retreats, they will still make a profit! "

As the acting commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Yue's view of the problem is naturally not the gains and losses of one city and one place, but the overall situation of the battlefield.Defending Star City is indeed something to be happy about, but after this battle, the ninth war zone will suffer a lot.

The most important thing is that some of the important military towns defended by the Ninth War Zone earlier are now under the control of the Japanese army.As long as the Japanese army guards these important military towns, it will be much easier to make a comeback next time.

In contrast, without these wài wéi defensive positions, the ninth theater will also become very passive.This is why the subordinates are happy, but Xue Yue is not happy.If the Japanese army can be hit hard, maybe the situation will be different.

Judging the Japanese army's plan, Xue Yue immediately ordered: "Send a report to the front-line troops and order all ministries to seize Jiayueyang City for me before dawn at all costs. Even if you can't stop the main force of the little devils, you must bite them." Meat down!"

"Yes, General!"

Hu Biao, who also received the battle report from the front line, was also extremely surprised to see that the little devil decided to accept it as soon as he saw it.One can imagine that Neiji Okamura was at least one of the more well-known Japanese generals during the Anti-Japanese War, and it is normal to have this kind of courage.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Send a report to the reconnaissance team and let them pay close attention to the enemy's situation on the front line of the Jiangxi-Shanghai Highway. Once a large number of Japanese troops are found retreating, they will report the situation immediately. Later, another group of people will be organized to send some zhà to the reconnaissance team. yào past.

Presumably, the Japanese army will not be able to get through the line in northern Hunan in a short time. If the main force of the Japanese army wants to withdraw from the battle smoothly, they can only take the line in northern Jiangxi.Let Xu Sandao stare over there, find some places suitable for bombing, and be ready to blow up those roads at any time. "

"Yes, wolf head!"

Hu Biao, who brought the main force to the territory of northern Jiangxi, has already begun planning to attack another rear military area of ​​the Japanese army.

heavy city.This time, Hu Biao planned to spend some money to teach the little devil a profound lesson and let him know what pain is.

In order to ensure the smooth harassment and blocking operations carried out by the reconnaissance unit, Hu Biao sent the first assault battalion under the command of Xu Mingzhi.Coupled with the zhà yào and mortars he carried, Hu Biao believed that it would not be so easy for the army of little devils to retreat smoothly.

Correspondingly, the guard platoon next to Hu Biao, and the accompanying task force company, had sneaked into Fenning City on the border of northern Jiangxi.This small county is also located at the border of three provinces, so its strategic significance is naturally very important.

Earlier, the Ninth War Zone also deployed heavy troops in this area, but it was a pity that it failed to stop the Japanese surprise attack.After the Japanese army occupied the city, this small county town became a transit material station and barracks for the Japanese army, and there were also many troops stationed there.

In addition, many prisoners of war captured from the front line were also held in it.It was just that after the Japanese army garrisoned, this small county town had turned into a barracks, and it was impossible for idlers to enter the city, and it was extremely difficult to inquire about information.

Only the elite around Hu Biao can sneak in at night.After spending half a night, the dispatched scouts successfully found out the Japanese army's defense map, as well as the location map of some important warehouses and core areas in the city.

Hu Biao, who had been on standby outside the city for a long time, looked at the deployment map drawn by the scouts, and said directly: "Let the little devil feel the roar of artillery tonight! All assault battalions, enter the attack position Standby!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

After the order was issued, Hu Biao, who had already built multiple artillery positions outside the city, finally emptied the artillery stored in the space again.Among them, a batch of mountain cannons were added, which was also a good product that Hu Biao bought in Menia.

Although the M1-type 75mm howitzer has a small caliber, compared with other [-]-caliber mountain guns, its range is not very advantageous.But in Hu Biao's view, this artillery is very light in weight and is very suitable for artillery battles in jungles and mountains.

In the future, the main areas where Hu Biao will fight will be located in the jungle mountains in the southwest. This kind of howitzer that can be transported by pack horses is very suitable for equipping battalion-level combat troops.When encountering the little devil's infantry unit, they can also have an advantage in artillery fire.

The officers and soldiers in charge of operating the artillery were naturally the officers and soldiers of the task force closest to Hu Biao.Looking at the artillery placed in the artillery position, many officers and soldiers were extremely excited.For them, the opportunity to be an artilleryman is not many.

In the siege tonight, they probably won't get much chance.In Hu Biao's words, tonight he will use shells to destroy the fighting spirit of the defenders in the city.At the moment, there are only a small number of raiders lurking in the city.

Once the shelling started, Hu Biao would continue to attack the Japanese army in the city with artillery fire.Even after this battle, Fenning City might become a ruin.But in Hu Biao's view, it was better than being occupied by little devils and using it as a forward offensive position.

In addition to the large number of mountain cannons, the 105-caliber heavy artillery captured by Hu Biao earlier also joined the ranks of shelling tonight.As for the infantry guns and mortars, they have been distributed to the assault battalions to be used as sharp weapons to break through the city.

It was still a silent night, and with the sudden drizzle, the Japanese troops stationed in Fenning City slept more deeply and more at ease than before.The few Japanese soldiers on duty still dare not relax their vigilance.

The sneak attack on Linxiang City earlier did indeed make the garrison troops stationed in the rear of each city intentionally strengthen their defenses.It's just that Fenning City, which seems to be smaller in area than Linxiang City, was completely controlled by the Japanese army.

Before the occupation of Fenning City, the people living in the city had already moved away.Later, after the Japanese occupation, the damaged city walls were repaired, and the entire county was controlled as a barracks.

No one expected that just when the Japanese army decided to retreat, Hu Biao arrived outside the city of Fenning one step ahead of the main force of the Japanese army.Looking at the county town with some dimly lit lights in the distance, Hu Biao said calmly: "Let's start!"

"Yes, Langtou! The gunner is in position, ready! Let it go!"

There was no test firing at all. According to the azimuth parameters provided by the scouts, the artillerymen had carefully adjusted the artillery before firing. More than 20 mountain cannons, plus several heavy cannons attacked in turn, the result can be imagined.

When the first round of shells

When flying out of the gun barrel at almost the same time, the Japanese soldiers standing on the city wall on duty said with a dull face: "Gah! How is this possible? Shelling! Dodge! Shelling! A large number of artillery, cover up!"

With the stern roar of the sentries, and some officers decisively disconnecting their guns to warn, they still couldn't keep up with the falling speed of the shells.When the first batch of artillery, most of them fell straight into the barracks in the city, many little devils were dumbfounded.

The bangs from the barracks continued, and louder bangs came from the garrison headquarters in the city.Judging from the sound of the bào zhà, it is not difficult to hear that the shells flying to the garrison headquarters are more powerful than the shells flying to the barracks.

Seeing the artillery shells continuously flying into the city from behind, the officers and soldiers of the assault battalion lying in the forward position said with great excitement, "Wow! My mother! There are so many artillery shells, I'm afraid the little devil will be in trouble this time." !"

"Blow it up! Blow it up hard! Blow up these sons of bitches! The little devils used to bully us a lot because they had artillery!"

Compared with the excited faces of the officers and soldiers of the assault battalion, the officers and soldiers of the new barracks selected from Linxiang earlier were extremely shocked in their hearts.They never thought that the army they joined would have such a large number of artillery pieces.

But many officers and soldiers were curious. They didn't see any artillery shadows at all on the march.Where did the artillery deployed outside the city of Fenning come from?Fortunately, these officers and soldiers all know that this kind of military secrets is not something they can inquire about.

Countless shells fell into the city in batches, and the entire Fenning City was instantly reduced to a city under the baptism of artillery.Compared with the resting troops in the city, who were already making a mess, the Japanese troops who were in charge of guarding the city walls no longer knew what to do next.

Open the city gate and attack, who can guarantee that there will be no ambushes outside the city?How long can they carry such a large number of artillery without leaving the city?When the bombardment is over, Fenning City, which was stationed there, may also become a city in ruins!

Text Chapter 46 is very bad!

Looking at the city of Fenning under the raging artillery fire, the officers and soldiers of the assault battalion who were waiting outside the city to attack were undoubtedly extremely excited.Artillery, as the king of war, its ferocious and ferocious side is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Many officers and soldiers are worried about this siege battle, which is likely to cost them a heavy price.They are all veterans who have dealt with little devils, so they naturally know that little devils are difficult to deal with, not to mention that little devils are still on the defensive side.

No one expected that Hu Biao, who deployed this siege, would have such a large number of artillery pieces.Under repeated bombardment, the little devils stationed in Fenning City were left trembling, unable to resist at all.

The officers and soldiers of the assault battalion who want to attack from the city and have already established an offensive position, how can the weapons in their hands be vegetarian?If you don't attack, if you want to break through, it is basically impossible.Outside the city of Fenning, it was already surrounded by the assault battalion.

Even the little devils stationed in Fenning City can immediately send a report to ask for support.The problem is, compared to Linxiang City, which was captured before, there are many garrison troops stationed next to it.In the vicinity of Fenning City, there was basically no organized team of little devils.

The nearest Japanese garrison would have to wait until dawn if they wanted to rush to Fenning City.At that time, even if the little devil's reinforcements arrive, the battle on Fenning City's side is probably over.

The little devil who was shrouded in the range of artillery fire had no time to send out any rescue telegrams.The radio station set up at the garrison headquarters was buried in the collapsed ruins under the first round of artillery fire, along with the radio operator on duty.

The few little devils who survived hadn't woken up from the nightmare when the second round of heavy artillery smashed down again.It didn't take long for the garrison headquarters carefully selected by the Japanese army to quickly turn into a sea of ​​flames and ruins.

Even if there is continuous drizzle in the sky at this moment, it still cannot extinguish the fire ignited by the shelling.Many houses in this era are basically wooden structures.Once it is ignited by artillery fire, it is basically impossible to extinguish it in a short time.

In addition to the marked military locations being given special attention, Hu Biao also selected a few mountain cannons from the shelled mountain artillery battalion for free shooting.As long as the prisoner-of-war camps in the city are not bombarded, the shells can hit other places at will.

The barracks where the most troops are stationed is the area that Hu Biao focuses on.Each round of more than [-] cannonballs fell down, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to those little devils who were awakened from sleep, and they couldn't find a place to hide.

Countless panicked little devil officers shouted in their mouths: "Quick, get out of the camp! Find a place to hide from the artillery fire!"

It's a pity that most of the little devils who have been completely blown up don't know where to flee.At this moment, the Japanese army responsible for guarding the city wall also began to dispatch troops, intending to enter the city to check the situation.

Some officers also called the barracks and the garrison headquarters, but the results were that they could not be contacted.Without the permission of the superior officer, even if a little devil officer wants to open the city and destroy the artillery positions outside the city, there is no order!

Compared with the chaos of the Japanese army in the city, the prisoners of war who were held in the concentration camp looked at the artillery fire rising from the city, and they were also shocked and said: "My dear! Has our main force returned? This shelling is too fierce Bar?"

"With so many shells coming in, will they fall on our heads?"
