New offense, new dispatch

The former enemy headquarters of the Sixth Corps, Commander Chen Geng, has just returned from the field army headquarters. The entire Corps, all commanders above the regiment level, as if they had agreed, all gathered in the temporary conference room of the headquarters, waiting for Commander Chen Geng to

Announce the specific combat plans of each combat unit tonight.

"Comrades, in accordance with the order of Commander-in-Chief Liu of the Field Army Headquarters, starting tonight, we will give the Japanese army on the opposite side a brand new way of fighting, so as to solve the threat of the Japanese air power on the opposite side to our attacking troops as much as possible, and reduce the threat to our attacking troops.

The casualties of the troops..." He quickly glanced at the dozens of military cadres in front of him, who were excited, expectant, and frustrated. Chen Geng first set the tone of the entire meeting and said loudly.

"Commander, the main attack mission last night was taken over by the 16th and 17th Army, and our 18th Army didn't even get a drink of soup. Tonight's main attack mission will always fall to our 18th Army.

It's on your head. If our 18th Army is still allowed to rest in the rear tonight, then I, the commander, will not be able to go back and explain to the soldiers..." The commander of the 18th Army spoke first, his words full of emotion.

An expectant tone.

Seeing that the commander of the Eighteenth Army had just finished speaking, the Commander of the Sixteenth Army stood up from his seat and wanted to say something. Chen Geng quickly pressed his hands, asking everyone to stop talking and speak himself.

road.

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Tonight's battle is a completely new way of fighting for us. Therefore, all three armies of the entire corps must be involved for me. However, the main attack mission,

In the words of Commander Zhang of the 18th Army, even if it is his turn, it is his turn today. Therefore, for the main attack, your other two armies should stop fighting..."

Seeing everyone's faces, excitement showed instantly. Following closely behind, he stared with expectant eyes, waiting for his order. Chen Geng didn't let everyone wait for too long, and directly gave the order.

"Now I order: The 18th Army will be personally commanded by Zhang Jun, with the support of the rear artillery group, to launch a counterattack on time at ten o'clock in the evening. We must seize the initiative of our army during the day from the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

The abandoned position. After completing the mission, continue to launch a small-scale assault on the Japanese third line of defense. My request is very simple. I do not require you to occupy the entire third line of defense. You only need to open on the Japanese third line of defense.

Several breakthroughs were made, and then heavy troops were sent to guard him, creating a situation where the enemy and our positions were intertwined..."

"The 16th and 17th armies, under my personal command, immediately accepted the Japanese positions occupied by the 18th Army. Then, they began to carry out large-scale construction on the positions... The specific tasks are allocated in this way..."

An hour later, the artillery cluster of the East China Field Army, which had been silent for a whole day, once again emitted deafening shelling. Although the Japanese troops who had retaken their positions learned the lessons of the previous night and dispersed their forces as much as possible. However, there was no one around them.

There were no bunkers to hide in, and the artillery fire from the artillery group of the Sixth Corps was too fierce. In less than ten minutes of shelling, the Japanese troops who stood firm on the position once again suffered hundreds of casualties...

"Order the 154th Regiment to launch an attack immediately and seize the Japanese forward positions within half an hour..." As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the commander of the 18th Army in charge of the main attack showed a trace of bloodthirsty eyes and an excited look on his face.

commanded.

"Yes, Commander..."

"First battalion, charge with me..."

"Machine gunner, shoot immediately, suppress the little devil's rifleman..."

"Bazooka, quickly, knock out the enemy's firepower points..."

"Grenadier, are you blind? Didn't you see the enemy's machine gun? Quick, blow it up for me..."

Suddenly, intensive gunfire, grenade explosions, and soldiers' shouts of killing began to sound on the battlefield. A main attack battalion, with more than 500 commanders and fighters, like agile monkeys, relied on the superior firepower in their hands,

Rapidly advance towards the Japanese forward positions...

Perhaps the Japanese army had no idea of ​​holding on to their position and just wanted to use this line of defense to delay time.

As a result, the entire attack only took half an hour, and the position was once again trampled under the feet of the soldiers.

In the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army, the major general brigade commander had not yet reacted to the sudden attack by the East China Field Army. The brigade chief of staff spoke first.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, Chinese people, are the China East China Field Army crazy? During the day's battle, coupled with last night's attack, the Chinese people on the opposite side paid at least 10,000 casualties. Faced with such heavy casualties, they

They actually launched an attack on us again. Don’t they know that when our army has absolute air superiority, such an attack will have no effect at all, except to continuously consume our own troops and increase casualties?"

"Chief of Staff, I don't know what the cunning Chinese people are thinking. However, since they are not afraid of casualties, then we will increase their casualties as much as possible until they are frightened and beaten beyond their endurance. Pass me

Order all troops to block the attack in accordance with the predetermined combat plan. Remember, after each combat unit uses our strategic depth to kill a large number of Chinese troops, they can retreat in an orderly manner without the need for a hard fight..." the brigade commander said.

A sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he ordered very firmly.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the brigade commander..."

However, what the brigade commander did not expect was that the ensuing war did not develop as he had imagined. His troops also did not achieve the results they imagined.

Because the East China Field Army, which had successfully regained the two lines of defense, never launched a single regiment-level charge again. Instead, it concentrated all its firepower and launched an assault at one or two points on the position.

Although the imperial troops holding on to the position were dispersed as much as possible to avoid the damage of artillery fire, the shells fired by hundreds of large-caliber artillery were all concentrated on this position, which was less than a hundred meters wide.

The intensity of the shelling can be imagined...

During the five-minute shelling, almost every square meter of the position had to be baptized by at least one artillery shell. When the artillery fire began to extend, looking around, this position seemed to have been turned over again. Of course, stick to it.

The little Japanese on the Duan position were blown to pieces in such dense artillery fire...

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Chinese artillery fire is too fierce. Our troops can't rush forward at all... The position, the position has been broken through by the Chinese..." Seeing that there was almost no obstruction, the East China Field Army rushed forward very easily.

On the battlefield, his reinforcements were unable to advance or retreat due to the fierce interception firepower of the East China Field Army. The brigade chief of staff once again had an anxious look on his face and exclaimed loudly.

"Don't worry, although the China East China Field Army has changed its tactics, their firepower cannot be maintained like this forever. Unless they do not plan to continue the attack tonight. Order the Third Infantry Brigade to continuously launch counterattacks in small groups,

Attract the enemy's artillery fire. As long as it is delayed until dawn, the entire battlefield will become our world again..."

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the brigade commander is wise..."

The thoughts of the Japanese brigade commander coincided with reality. Faced with continuous counterattacks by the Japanese army, the artillery group of the Sixth Corps really focused most of its firepower on intercepting the Japanese counterattacks.

However, what the Japanese brigade commander did not expect was that although his counterattack force successfully attracted artillery fire from the Sixth Corps, the Sixth Corps temporarily lost its offensive capability because there was no artillery reinforcement. However, it successfully occupied the Japanese position and fought with

The East China Field Army, whose Japanese positions were intertwined with each other, was not idle.

Groups of soldiers, under the command of their respective commanders, relied on the cover of artillery fire from the front, and on the positions that had been blown to the ground, they vigorously waved the engineer shovels in their hands and quickly threw the shovels of soil under their feet into the trenches.

On both sides... In less than an hour, with the efforts of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, trenches appeared on the battlefield.

Of course, it is impossible for a corps of hundreds of thousands of troops to all gather here to dig trenches. In the entire corps, except for two corps sparing no effort to wave the engineering shovels in their hands, there is also a corps of troops who are constantly coming from the woods behind.

, transporting tree trunks as thick as a bowl to the front and covering them above the trenches...

The entire battlefield, except for the continuous sound of shell explosions in the front, telling everyone that this is a battlefield. The entire rear area is like a huge construction site, extremely busy...

Time passed slowly amidst the explosions of artillery shells. In the blink of an eye, the dark night slowly became brighter, and the sound of artillery that had been heard all night also stopped. The entire battlefield was surprisingly strange.

Falling into a brief moment of tranquility.

In the Japanese brigade headquarters, the Major General Brigade Commander was not happy because the East China Field Army did not attack in the middle of the night. Because, as an old Kwantung Army officer who had experienced the battlefield and had a certain understanding of his opponents, he was vaguely aware that

I felt that behind the shelling in the middle of the night, the East China Field Army on the opposite side must be hiding a huge conspiracy, a huge conspiracy against myself.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it's daybreak. The shelling of the East China Field Army has ended. The moment for our Kwantung Army to counterattack has finally arrived..." As soon as the rumbling sound of artillery stopped, the excited voice of the Chief of Staff reached the ears of the Brigade Commander.

inside….

However, unexpectedly, facing the excited subordinates in front of him, the brigade leader did not show any smile on his face, and then said with a worried look.

"Chief of Staff, I always feel that things are not that simple. Now that the East China Field Army has changed its offensive plan, how come they don't launch an attack in the second half of the night? Don't they know that only the night belongs to them. And as long as the sky

As soon as it lights up, they will suffer a devastating blow from our air power..."
