Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

March 5, 1932, early in the morning.

In the camp behind the Linghai Defense Line, the soldiers of the 12th Division sat in pairs and ate rice balls after the morning training was completed.

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Moto, Sugiyama Moto, was enjoying the morning sun in the county seat of Linghai County in the rear.

The roaring sound of cannons broke the silence of the early morning.

Sun Liren, commander of the Central Route Army, concentrated more than 100 heavy howitzers of 155 mm and 240 mm caliber and launched artillery attacks on the Japanese camp behind Linghai.

Perhaps the Japanese army was somewhat comfortable during this time and had forgotten about the large-caliber long-range heavy artillery equipped by the border guards.

As the sky roared with shells, the entire rear camp exploded.

"Shelling, dodging shelling."

"Spread out, spread it all."

Among the shouts and whistles of the officers.

Hundreds of large-caliber shells roared down, like a meteorite falling to the ground, setting off a shocking explosion.

In particular, heavy high-explosive grenades of 240 mm caliber are simply battlefield clearers, and as soon as one shot goes down, only a huge crater remains.

Countless Japanese soldiers were reaped for their lives in the violent explosion.

In addition to hundreds of large-caliber heavy guns, Sun Liren also concentrated most of the M7 priest 105mm self-propelled howitzers in the whole army.

There were also Krupp 105 and 150 mm heavy guns of the New First Army who launched heavy shelling of the first line of defense in Linghai.

In an instant, a dense barrage of shells fell from the position.

Dirt and rubble flew in the explosion.

"Put......""Eighty-one-zero"

Two rocket artillery battalions of the 3rd Panzer Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division were also grouped together.

A total of 42 Katyusha self-propelled rocket launchers.

With a single order, more than 0 rockets were fired within seconds.

An overwhelming rain of rockets came towards the Linghai defense line.

At this moment, the little devils who were hiding in the trenches of the position and avoiding the shelling were once again hit like a devastating blow.

The rockets were like the hammer of the Heavenly Emperor, whistling and falling on the position.

Directly suppressed the momentum of the salvo of hundreds of artillery guns.

became the protagonist of this world.

Even the sky was about to be printed in a fiery red.

Almost at the same time, the Japanese 4th Division stationed in Yixian also came under artillery fire from the new 1st Division and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division.

Two K5 modified 310 mm train guns were also added to the shelling of the Yixian Line.

Over Jinzhou, dense warplanes roared by.

80 P-51D Mustang fighters and 54JU-87 Stuka dive bombers flew towards Shenyang.

When the shelling began, the group also came to the sky above Linghai.

P-51D Mustang fighters flew down and slaughtered the Japanese troops on the ground who were sheltering from shelling.

One by one, Stuka dive bombers crossed the defense line and bombed various military facilities in the Japanese rear.

For example, railway bridges, railway stations, already detected Japanese artillery positions, etc.

They were the main targets of Stuka dive bombers, especially the Japanese artillery positions.

At the beginning, Zhang Xueming's side took out Wang Fried and launched a general attack on all the Japanese defense lines.

Neither the 12th Division nor the 4th Division had ever come under such heavy shelling.

The 4th regiment was in a slightly better situation, and that side was not the direction of the main attack.

The blow to the 12th Division was arguably unprecedented.

The Northeast Frontier Guards seem to have an endless number of shells.

When their artillery reacted and prepared to counterattack.

The overwhelming Stuka dive bombers dived down.

A crackling screech came from the small bagpipes, which made the Japanese artillerymen who heard this sound a little terrified.

Command of the Kwantung Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, the big thing is not good, Zhang Xueming launched heavy artillery and bombers on our army's Yixian and Linghai defense lines."

Honjo Fan, Itachi Seishiro, Doi Enkenji and others who heard the news were directly stunned.

If they didn't fight over, forget it, Zhang Xueming actually dared to launch a counterattack?

Although they have advantages in equipment, they also have superiority in strength, several times the strength of Zhang Xueming.

It was clear that their intelligence did not detect the addition of the Third Panzer Division and the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division.

"What? How is the situation on the front line now? "

The communications officer shook his head and said: "It's not clear, but according to the information transmitted from the front, Zhang Xueming's artillery is extremely large, and he also dispatched the mysterious artillery of the last time, and the number is even more than before." "

The mysterious artillery in his mouth is naturally Katyusha self-propelled rocket artillery.

For this gun, their image is still very profound.

The reason why the 20th Division was annihilated so quickly was inseparable from this mysterious artillery.

Itachi Seishiro's face changed.

"It's not good, Zhang Xueming has launched a general attack, no wonder their materials have been increasing recently.

Originally, they thought that they were preparing to defend against the attack of the empire.

Unexpectedly, he was so daring that he dared to launch a counterattack. "

Honjo's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, the reinforcements over there in Busan have just been bombed, and today they will launch a counterattack, it seems that they are all ready."

The front-line troops were ordered to hold the defensive line at all costs, and if necessary, they could withdraw to Shenyang for defense. "

He then continued: "Order the Northern Manchuria region to stop all operations and shrink the defensive line to important towns.

The main force of the 2nd Division could then go south and garrison Shenyang. "

He clearly judged that the other party's target was Shenyang.

As long as you hold Shenyang, you will hold Liao Province.

As long as Liao Province can be held, then reinforcements will continue to come from Lushunkou and Chaoshen.

Shuangyang Town in Linghai County is the front position of the Linghai defense line.

The 8th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 5th Independent Garrison Group were stationed here.

The total strength of the army is nearly 10,000.

The shelling here was also the most intense.

More than 600 rockets were all dropped here.

This position, which was excavated by relying on the mountains around Shuangyang Town, has disappeared from its original appearance.

Instead, it was all tumbling dirt and huge craters, as if they had been ploughed by something.

The 8th Mixed Brigade was about to be blown up.

Suddenly, the cannon suddenly stopped, and heaven and earth fell silent again.

However, when the smoke cleared from the position, the Japanese troops on the position saw a scene that terrified them.

T-34/85 medium tanks rushed towards the position with their muzzles raised.

Behind the tank were followed by M2/3 half-track armored vehicles and M39 armored personnel carriers.

The mountains ahead of them were filled with tanks and armored vehicles, and the total number exceeded a thousand.

The number of T-34/85 medium tanks alone reached 400, not to mention more than 800 armored vehicles of various types.

"Brigade... Brigade commander, how should we fight? "

After seeing this scene, the chief of staff of the brigade was stunned and looked a little overwhelmed.

How could the anti-tank trenches and anti-tank piles they had previously dug be able to hold back such a number of tanks.

As for anti-tank guns, it goes without saying, they themselves are not equipped much.

The brigade commander pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Hold it at all costs, even if you block it with your body, you must block the offensive of the Chinese people." "

When the artillery fire stopped, the remaining Japanese troops on the position launched a counterattack.

The 38 big cover, the crooked handle, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun fired in unison.

It was also accompanied by shells from infantry guns and mortars.

Whether they can hit or not, at least they have the momentum.

However, the Japanese counterattack in the position immediately met with a fierce counterattack by the 3rd Panzer Division and the 4th Machine Infantry Brigade. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The T-34/85 tanks rushing ahead stopped sharply.

The 85 mm tank gun was aimed at the exposed fire points of the Japanese.

"Boom....."

The muzzle fire flashed, and the shell seemed to have eyes, accurately hitting the Japanese machine gun fire point.

With the sound of an explosion, the corpses of the Japanese soldiers flew over, and the machine guns were blown into parts.

"Panzertroops, attack!"

Tank tracks flew over, rolled up dirt on the ground ..........

Black smoke rose from the tail, and a war beast roared.

"Anti-tank piles were found ahead, and the engineering units cleared the obstacles."

Soon the tank cluster was blocked by the anti-tank pile in front.

This thing is not to say that it is a T-34, even if it comes from the King Tiger tank, it has to stop.

But since the enemy has anti-tank piles, the border guards naturally have equipment to cope with it.

The stopped T-34 g also did not sit idle.

Tank guns and tank machine guns fired in unison, suppressing the fire of the Japanese position.

Rear trucks equipped with dozer blades drove up.

At the same time, sappers holding explosives were followed in the rear.

The Japanese seemed to have discovered the attempt on this side, braving heavy artillery fire and concentrating on the coming engineering vehicles and engineers.

However, at this moment, hundreds of M7 priest self-propelled guns in the rear have followed.

They spread out directly only about 5 kilometers from the Japanese Shuangyang Town position.

"Put."

Dense shells once again landed on the Japanese positions in Shuangyang Town.

Once again, the desperate Japanese troops were severely suppressed on the position.

In less than five minutes, a path was cleared on these anti-tank stacks made of steel pipes.

The T-34/85 tanks were on the road again, and at this moment they were only two hundred meters away from the Japanese positions.

The 8th Brigade, which was exhausted by the donkey, was undaunted by the charging tanks.

A dead soldier jumped out of the position carrying an explosive bag and a grenade.

The shouting in his mouth rushed up, not to put life and death in his eyes at all.

But their charge was just sending them to death.

A soldier had already jumped from the half-track and tracked personnel carriers and came behind the tank to cover the tank's advance.

When after a wave of more numerous Japanese dead soldiers rushed out.

The soldiers then fired STG-44 mortars in their hands.

Soon T-34/85 tanks rushed to positions under the cover of infantry.

"After leaving the troops broken, the rest retreat to the second position, quickly drop."

The commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade did not expect that in less than an hour of the battle, the Shuangyang Town position he was in charge of was actually easily broken through.

Their tanks are just terrible.

With flesh and blood, it is simply impossible to stop.

"Took the first position?"

Yu Chen ordered: "The artillery fire extends and launches shelling on the second position.

Is the rocket artillery battalion in place? "

"Report, already in place."

In the command, a signal soldier 4.3 looked up and answered.

"Okay, let the rocket artillery group bombard a round first, and then the attacking troops will continue the attack."

54 Katyusha rocket launchers roared like dragons and fired another round of rockets.

The rain of rockets formed by more than 670 rockets was like a brilliant meteor, directly smashing on the second position of Shuangyang Town.

Watch as the rain of rockets pouring past your head.

The soldiers of the third and fourth divisions were somewhat sympathetic to the little devil.

If this is a round of smashing on their heads, it will definitely be enough to drink a pot.

Dense explosions resounded on the second line of defense in Shuangyang Town.

The dense flames continued to rise into the air.

The torrent of steel formed by the convergence of the third and fourth divisions was activated again.

The two positions are separated by only two kilometres.

Even the first strongest position was not held, not to mention the second with fewer fortifications.

Even if the commander of the 8th mixed brigade will enter the battle as a separate 5th garrison group as a reserve, it will not help.

It's just a little more delay.

Two hours later, the 8th Mixed Brigade and the Independent 5th Garrison Group were completely wiped out on the Shuangyang Town position.

"Continue to attack, take Linghai County, and point the sword at Shenyang."

After breaking through the defense line of Shuangyang Town, it was Linghai County that stopped them.

On this defensive line, an entire 12th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed, as well as a number of units, with a total strength of more than 30,000 people.

This is the last roadblock on Shenyang Road.
