Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2553: The Sound of Cannons in Western Liaoning (Part 2)
Also on the south bank of the Daling River, in addition to the artillery units and armored units that are ready to go, there are also pontoon vehicles of the engineering units, standing silently in the dark night. The engineers and soldiers are in full formation, waiting for the order to attack.
, the car is a research vehicle of Dingbian Special Economic Zone Military Industry Bureau and Equipment Research Institute
The new pontoon bridge manufactured by the company has been equipped with various field troops as early as a year ago. The Daling River, which is several hundred meters wide, is a natural barrier. The pontoon bridge troops can use this new type of pontoon bridge vehicle in a short time.
Within ten minutes, a pontoon bridge across the Daling River that could be provided by tanks was laid.
Since Feng Jiwu took command of the troops and took over Liu Tiehan's stationed in Jinzhou, the Daling River fell into his eyes. The Zhouqiao troops of the engineering brigade affiliated to the Corps trained on several rivers in Shanhaiguan in North China.
Over the years, I have become very comfortable in erecting pontoon bridges.
On the south bank of the Daling River, various units were ready. At the aviation airports in Jinzhou, Peiping, Tianjin, Tangshan, Shanhaiguan and other places, night-flying bombers and fighter jets lined up silently on the airport runway, and the pilots sat silently in the cabin.
, all eyes were looking in the direction of the control tower.
On the Jinzhou front line, at the temporary headquarters of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, when the minute and second hands of the clock overlapped at eleven o'clock at night, the chief of staff, Colonel Zhang Hansheng, suddenly lowered his arm and said to Feng Jiwu: "Commander,
It’s time to attack!”
Feng Jiwu opened his eyes suddenly, stood up, and a cold light shot out, "Start!" He said two simple words with a metallic clang.
The night is vast and the evening wind is blowing. On the north bank of the Daling River, there is a defensive position of the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army soldiers who have been on high alert for two or three days are already a little tired, and waves of sleepiness are uncontrollably coming to their hearts.
Under the strict supervision of superior officers, these Kwantung Army soldiers did not even dare to close their eyelids for a moment to enjoy themselves.
Suddenly, in the dark night sky on the south bank of the Daling River, three red meteors slowly rose up into the night sky. Immediately, red flares of the same color, like festive fireworks, rose in many places on the south bank of the Daling River.
The night sky is reflected so brilliantly that it is a pleasure to look at.
But this pleasing red flare is as terrifying as a reminder to the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army on the front line. They are all veterans who fought with the Soviets on the battlefield in the Far East. They know what the sudden appearance of the flare means.
?
Waves of urgent shouts and commotions filled all the fortifications, "The Chinese troops are about to launch an attack. Report to the commander immediately!" Then there was the sound of shaking the phone.
The officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army, who were staring nervously at the other side of the Daling River, were horrified to see. In the night on the south bank, layers of meteors suddenly flew in, with long and gorgeous tails, and they rushed over quickly.
In an instant, it reached the top of the head. There was no usual loud noise, only high-speed flying objects, a "hiss!" scream that cut through the air, and a swarm of meteors fell, landing on the Kwantung Army position on the north bank of the Daling River.
At this time, the loud noise of "Boom!" reverberated continuously in the night. Accompanied by the loud noise, there were masses of rising firelight. In the firelight, there were fragments of reinforced concrete.
Scattered in all directions, the artillery group commanded by Zheng Yong, including the "Thunder" rocket launcher group, started the bombardment first.
On the Linghai front line, which is the main direction of attack, Zheng Yong concentrated four "Thunder" rocket launcher regiments. Each regiment was equipped with 32 rocket launchers and 98 rocket launchers. The four regiments equaled nearly 400 rocket launchers. One salvo fired.
That's almost thirteen thousand rounds of 210mm rockets, which are twice as powerful as a 155mm howitzer shell.
The most terrible thing is that the "Thunder" rocket launcher is a covering, indiscriminate bombardment, and the density of the bombs does not leave any dead ends or gaps. The powerful rockets will destroy the reinforced concrete fortifications built by the Kwantung Army.
, shrouded in a sea of steel and flames, the bodies of the Kwantung Army soldiers exposed in the fortifications were torn into countless pieces by rockets as dense as hail, and turned into ashes by the high temperature of thousands of degrees.
Rows of rockets, dragging long tail flames, screamed and flew in. The air was filled with the sound of "hiss!" tearing the cloth. Lieutenant General Watanabe, commander of the 18th Division
, when the first round of rocket shells fell, you knew what happened, "The independent division troops launched an attack. What was supposed to come has finally come!"
The phones in the division headquarters were ringing like crazy, and the staff members were busy answering the calls. The content of all the calls was the same thing, "The forward position was violently shelled by the artillery of the Independent Division. The enemy's artillery fire
It was so violent that it had never been seen before, and it was a new type of artillery that had never been seen before. The forward position fortifications were seriously damaged!"
Division Commander Watanabe's face was ashen and he didn't want his subordinates to report it. Even in the division headquarters, he could see the artillery fire that reddened the night sky. Indeed, it was artillery fire he had never seen before. He grabbed the phone and said, "Order
, the division's field artillery regiment immediately launched a suppressive bombardment on the independent division's artillery, and must destroy the enemy's new artillery!"
After the artillery bombardment of the independent division, the infantry began to cross the river next. The battle now can only be artillery versus artillery. Commander Watanabe still has confidence in the four field artillery regiments in his hands.
Even if the artillery of the independent division cannot be destroyed, it can still be suppressed. After that, the pressure on the frontline troops will be reduced a lot by counterattacking the infantry of the independent division that crossed the Daling River.
"What a great battle! The water of the Daling River will probably be dyed red with blood!" Commander Watanabe Division said to himself. Of course, what he was talking about was the blood of the soldiers of the Independent Division, which dyed the water of the Daling River red.
On the south bank of the Daling River, at the Artillery Headquarters of the Independent Division, Zheng Yong was concentrating on observing the shelling of the rocket launcher unit. Now it seems that everything is going according to plan. There is no need to correct the impact point of the rocket launcher. When that guy fights, he will hit him every time.
Blockbuster, what he focused on was that it was impossible for the Japs’ artillery not to fight back!
Sure enough, some bright spots appeared from the north bank of the Daling River. They were completely different from the trajectory of the rocket shells. The bright spots flew over the Daling River and landed on the land on the south bank. There was a dull and loud noise. Zheng Yong was delighted, "You bastard."
, finally showed up! Don’t expect to live if you show up!”
Zheng Yong put down his binoculars and took a few steps to the phone. "Heavy artillery group? This is Zheng Yong. Listen, the Japs' artillery has shown up. Based on the previous intelligence and the current artillery trajectory of the Japs' artillery, within ten minutes,
Inside, the heavy artillery group immediately destroyed the Jaap's artillery position. If I see the Jaap's artillery fire a second round of shells, you brigade commanders, just wait to come to the headquarters to explain to me!"
Accompanied by bursts of fire and loud thunder-like noises, the heavy artillery group of the Independent Division's artillery began to fight back from behind on the south bank of the Daling River. The artillery shells flew toward the Japanese artillery position at a height exceeding that of rocket shells.
"Ding bell!" In the headquarters of the 18th Division, a red telephone rang suddenly. A Japanese major staff officer picked up the phone, "Hani? That's impossible. The artillery position was hit by heavy artillery fire from the Independent Division's artillery.
Covering the shelling, heavy losses, I will report to the division commander immediately!" His face turned pale at that time.
The major staff officer put down the phone and ran to the commander of the Watanabe division in a few steps. Just as he was about to speak, the commander of the Watanabe division who was on the phone glared at him fiercely and said, "Your Excellency, commander, our division's frontal position has been attacked.
The fierce shelling by the artillery of the Independent Division was the preparation of artillery fire before the large-scale attack by the independent division. The positions of other divisions of Hani were also bombarded. The staff of Hani understood this and stood firm and fought to the last man!
"
Putting down the phone, Division Commander Watanabe looked at the major staff officer with a heavy face and asked, "What's going on?"
The major staff officer swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Your Excellency, the division commander, we just received a call from the artillery unit. Their position was bombarded by independent heavy artillery. The intensity of the enemy's artillery fire was several times greater than that of our artillery. The position
Most of them were destroyed, and the artillery was severely damaged, making it impossible to form an effective artillery counterattack!"
"Honey? Baga! What nonsense!" Commander Watanabe was stunned at first, then became furious, grabbed the major staff officer by the collar, and shouted: "No way, you lied about the military situation! The artillery of the Imperial Army
, just started the first round of test firing, how could it be met with such a violent counterattack? Absolutely impossible!" Lieutenant General Watanabe's roar echoed in the headquarters, and all the Japanese officers looked at the anger blankly.
Your Excellency, the Roaring Division Commander.
Seeing the Major Staff Officer, his expression and eyes were almost paralyzed with fear. Division Commander Watanabe suddenly loosened his collar. The poor little staff officer was covered in sweat and could hardly stand. In fact, Division Commander Watanabe
, already believed what the staff officer said, otherwise, there would not have been such a violent explosion from the rear. "Could it be that the artillery of the Independent Division controls the location of our artillery position?" he judged with a pale face.
The rocket artillery fire attack by the independent division's artillery group stopped abruptly after twenty minutes. The heart-stopping "hissing" sound suddenly disappeared in the sky. Instead, there was a terrifying silence, oppressive and suffocating.
.
Fires, continuous fires, were burning on the Kwantung Army positions on the north bank of the Daling River. The "Thunder" rocket launchers were bombarded with huge destructive power. Within the planned breakthrough channel, the Kwantung Army's reinforced concrete fortifications were
The surface was in a mess. The Kwantung Army soldiers who entered the surface position and prepared to counterattack the independent division infantry across the river suffered casualties of more than 80%.
The artillery position of the 18th Division of the Ninth Army of the Kwantung Army, located on the north bank of the Daling River, was even more miserable. It only had time to fire off a test fire of artillery, but it was covered by fierce artillery fire from the independent division's artillery. For more than 20 minutes,
Inside, nearly 100,000 artillery shells were fired, razing the Kwantung Army artillery positions to the ground. There were artillery pieces with bent barrels everywhere, gun wheels scattered in the distance, and the broken corpses of Kwantung Army artillerymen.
