"Your Excellency, the division commander, has issued an order for all-out combat!"
"He told us to capture everything back to Chenjiaxing within today!"
After the Japanese army's pre-war preparations were complete, Japanese communications officer Ishihara Nagasawa hurried to the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, Major General Ueno Kanichiro, to report.
"Yes! I understand, please reply to the division commander, I will immediately ask the artillery team to conduct one more artillery fire coverage, and then we will launch an infantry attack!"
After listening to the report, Major General Kanichiro Ueno, commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, nodded in response.
"Hai!"
Japanese communications officer Ishihara Nagasawa immediately took action.
Among the Japanese senior leaders who received the same immediate combat order as him were Major General Katayama Riichiro, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, and Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, the commander of the 9th Infantry Division.
So soon, the combat order was conveyed to all the Japanese troops gathered on the front line of Chenjiaxing.
For this reason, many Japanese officers and soldiers were ready to move and prepare to attack immediately after the second round of Japanese artillery fire covered the bombing.
"Bombardment!"
"Bombardment!"
A moment later, the commander of the Japanese artillery team immediately issued a combat order for a second round of artillery fire coverage and bombing.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Then an overwhelming swarm of artillery shells roared toward where the main force of the 133rd Division was, bombarding them indiscriminately.
Then, there were bursts of trembling sounds that shook the earth and the mountains, as well as soaring firelights, thick smoke, the pungent smell of scorched earth, and shrill howls.
"No! The Japanese artillery team has started bombing. These damn Japanese, what happened to them today! Why are they carrying out a second round of bombing? Don't they usually launch an infantry attack immediately after the bombing?
?”
"Still talking nonsense, I want to die! Run away! Hide!"
In addition, there were also shouts from some Sichuan soldiers who were not injured or killed in the bombing, as well as shouts urging concealment.
For a time, the main force of the 133rd Division was also bombarded by the Japanese artillery force.
"What a bloody devil! The main force who only attacks me?"
"What a bastard!"
"Ge Laozi, I will remember you idiots!"
"Give me cover immediately, or climb down on the spot! Hurry!"
"If you don't want to die, please hurry up and find a way to hide yourself!"
At the same time, the division commander Yang Hanyu couldn't help but angrily cursed the Japanese artillery troops, and then he kept moving around and commanding his main force, quickly taking cover and climbing down to survive.
Of course, he himself is also trying to find a way to survive,
Because at this time, the artillery fire coverage of the Japanese artillery units became more and more fierce.
While watching the artillery fire from the Japanese artillery force continuously hitting the main force of the 133rd Division, the Sichuan soldiers around He Feiyang also became very nervous.
Because they were also worried about whether the Japanese artillery troops would also shell towards where they were.
That was the Japanese heavy artillery unit, and they were also conducting coordinated artillery operations together.
They had also seen and experienced the destructive power of the explosion.
With just one shot, a squad, or even more than one squad, would be wiped out.
Therefore, they were also very afraid of being subjected to such ferocious artillery fire coverage and bombing operations by the Japanese artillery team.
"Battalion Commander, our main force is being bombed by the Japanese at key points!"
"what should we do?"
Another new company commander, Zhang Zifeng, also looked worried and said to He Feiyang.
"After the Japanese bombardment is over, all operations will be carried out according to my original plan! Anyway, at our current distance, the Japanese heavy artillery troops cannot hit us!"
"And the Japanese artillery team, under the reconnaissance of their reconnaissance balloons, is shelling the main force of our division!"
"So maintain restraint. No matter how fierce the battle on the front line is later, you must control your emotions until the Japanese troops completely underestimate the enemy and rush in, then you can counterattack in one fell swoop!"
"Anyway, in the battlefield, none of us knows how long anyone can survive, so let's kill one more Japanese to bury him with us later!"
"Don't think so much. If anyone wants to escape now, I will kill him with my own hands. It is better than falling into the hands of the supervising team and losing all the face of our Sichuan Army!"
In response to company commander Zhang Zifeng's nervous inquiry, He Feiyang responded without hesitation.
"But if we have retreated so far now, will we be regarded as deserters by the supervising team, or our division and regiment?"
But company commander Zhang Zifeng continued to worry.
"If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will shoot you first!"
"Didn't you see that we were protecting the female nurse medical team and the supervising captain? So we won't be blamed if we evacuate here!"
"And did I say that I wanted to be a deserter?"
Hearing this, He Feiyang scolded the other party without any politeness at all.
"sorry!"
"I"
Being scolded by He Feiyang, company commander Zhang Zifeng immediately turned red with embarrassment and did not dare to speak any more.
"Shut up!"
He Feiyang gave him a cold warning and then ignored him.
The company commander Zhang Zifeng also felt the danger that He Feiyang would really kill him with one shot, so he timidly shut his mouth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this moment, the second round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese artillery force had also ended.
They bombed the last round of artillery shells all at the main force of the 133rd Division. Of course, they also bombarded other non-main forces.
"All Imperial warriors, charge! Charge!"
"Kill all the Chinese troops in Chenjiahang!"
"Leave no one behind!"
As soon as the artillery fire cover bombing was completed, Major General Akiyama Yoshiyuki, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 9th Division, immediately loudly issued instructions to the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 35th Infantry Regiment under his jurisdiction.
He gave the combat order of charging into battle immediately.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Colonel Isa Kazuo, the commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment, Colonel Fujisueyoshi, the commander of the 35th Infantry Regiment, and a large number of Japanese officers also quickly agreed to attack in unison.
After their fighting voices sounded,
Not far from them, Major General Ueno Kanichiro, the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the Third Division, and Major General Katayama Satoichiro, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, also hurriedly issued orders to their Japanese troops.
An order to attack immediately.
So soon, Japanese soldiers like a mountainous area swarmed out and charged towards the Chenjiaxing position where the 133rd Sichuan Army Division was located, preparing to capture it in one fell swoop.
