The sun gradually rose, and the temperature on the position rose sharply.
The earth-shattering shelling of the Japanese army was like rolling thunder. The shells fell on the position like little suns one after another, violently exploding, causing the temperature to rise sharply again. Thick black smoke mixed with blazing flames, until
Soaring into the sky, it actually blocked the sun's rays in a short time.
The officers and soldiers in the artillery-proof cave coughed violently from time to time because the cave was filled with smoke.
Bangjun arrived at the Jianliu front-line position, which was trembling constantly under the blast of Japanese artillery fire. A big burning tree fell down in a violent explosion, smashed across the position, and broke into pieces.
After a few knots, the fire continued to burn. The weeds near and far had already been burned away, leaving behind a dark, smoking land.
The sound of artillery gradually stopped, and before the Japanese attack was launched, a burst of three long and two short whistles came from outside.
Lu Daniu's expression changed, and he quickly jumped up from the ground. Under An Ruoqi's surprised eyes, he quickly rushed out of the artillery hole, then jumped out of the trench in a few short steps, stopped more than 300 meters away from the position, and squatted down.
Son of a bitch, take out the engineering shovel for intense work.
An Ruoqi followed him out with a sniper rifle, lying on the position and observing carefully through the scope. He saw nearly a hundred officers and soldiers working hard like Lu Daniu. They skillfully took out the black mines from their backpacks.
Soon he buried another mine, then took out another mine and continued to fill it.
An Ruoqi took a closer look and found that it was mixed with the special napalm mines newly launched by the Xufu Arsenal. She couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that the little devil was going to suffer now.
Soon, the ground trembled, and more than forty Japanese tanks appeared on the horizon, leading a large number of Japanese troops and rushing towards the Anjiajun position.
After laying the mines, Lu Daniu quickly returned to the trench, and smiled innocently when he saw An Ruoqi. Then, the officers and soldiers in the artillery hole quickly rushed out and took their positions.
The Japanese tanks were mammoth, with dust rising from behind. Perhaps thinking that no one could harm them, the Japanese tank crews actually charged while spraying shells at the Anjiajun position, blasting the Anjiajun front line into flames.
, the violent explosion mixed with pieces of steel, broken soil, rocks, and sand, flew into the sky one after another.
A large number of Japanese troops followed the tanks and ran forward. After entering the firing range of the 38th Gate, they raised their guns one after another and fired while moving forward. At the same time, the Japanese army's regiment-level artillery fire, machine guns and grenade launchers seized the opportunity.
From a favorable position, target Anjiajun's position with fire suppression.
At Erdaogou, two kilometers behind Bangjun Town, and Cuiping Mountain, two kilometers north of Yaoliu Town, the artillery of the *** Division and the 17th Division removed the camouflage net, raised the muzzle, and under the guidance of the frontline artillery observers
, quickly determined the position, coordinates, shooting angle and other factors, and then started continuous artillery bombardment as soon as the military headquarters ordered it.
Suddenly, pieces of artillery shells flew over our positions like meteors and fell into the dense Japanese attack formation. Countless limbs and broken arms rose into the air. Within a radius of several hundred meters, everything was filled with gunpowder smoke.
All the sounds were covered by the rumbling sound of cannons, causing the earth to roar and tremble continuously.
The power of large-caliber artillery shells can be seen clearly. Many tanks exploded directly after being hit, turning into balls of scrap copper and iron that continued to spray flames. The large number of Japanese troops who followed the tanks and launched a dense charge were strangled by shrapnel shooting everywhere.
, blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The Japanese tanks that were lucky enough to escape were not afraid of death and continued to fire their guns, rushing toward the front of the Anjiajun position. The Japanese troops who were killing them endlessly were also shouting "on board".
Passing through the hail of bullets, following closely behind the tanks, they launched an attack on the Anjiajun position.
When they advanced to 300 meters in front of the position, tanks suddenly exploded. Some of them had their tracks broken by mines and could no longer move. Other tanks were quickly destroyed by flames in mushroom-shaped flames that shot up into the sky.
The flames that surrounded and solidified the incendiary bombs immediately adhered to the surfaces of tanks near and far, burning violently.
The Japanese soldiers following the tank were covered in mushroom-shaped flames that suddenly shot up to a height of three to four meters, and their entire bodies were instantly doused with napalm.
This extremely viscous gasoline cannot be extinguished at all. The affected Japanese soldiers can only roll and struggle on the ground in vain. However, such normal fire-fighting actions contaminate the napalm attached to them to other Japanese soldiers, causing even greater damage.
A wide range of damage. Although the officers and soldiers who were ignited later only burned part of their bodies and the area was not too large, the terrible napalm will always adhere to the body and burn all the clothes on the body unless they are taken off in time.
Only then can you survive the disaster, but if it is splashed on your body, it will burn all the attached meat until it reaches the bones and then slowly extinguish it!
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers turned into terrifying firemen with teeth and claws, letting out chilling screams. Wrapped in flames, they rolled and struggled with all their strength, but they couldn't break free.
The flames from hell spread across his body.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the same regiment of the Japanese army came from the same place. Many of them were even relatives or close friends. How could they be so cruel and not rescue their childhood playmates when they saw them burning? But the rescue was tragic. They
All of them were contaminated by the napalm on their relatives or friends. The napalm that kept exploding after burning was a complete disaster. Many people's bodies, faces, and hair were instantly ignited by the splashed flames, even though it seemed like
The flames were not big, but they could not be extinguished at all. Soon thousands of Japanese were affected by the napalm splash, turning into flaming figures rolling on the ground, letting out hysterical wails of terror, which was too horrible to watch.
The tank crew in the Japanese tank that was quickly affected by the fire after being scrapped saw the hell-like miserable situation outside and knew that even if they got out, they would die, so they simply stayed in the tank and tried to shoot out all the shells and bullets.
Then they exploded one by one and turned into big fireballs.
The Japanese infantry lost their support as a cover, and coupled with the terrifying burning scene in front of them, they finally could no longer bear the fear in their hearts. They receded like a tide, and the Japanese army's second attack ended without any problem.
...
At the headquarters of the Fifth Army, Hu Jialin, who was standing in front of the map, heard the report from the walkie-talkie that the artillery of the *** Division and the 17th Division had moved and concealed in time. He was slightly relieved, and when he heard the footsteps behind him, his expression
He turned around easily and asked Qin Zhenbang, the communications director who hurried into the war room:
"Have you contacted the Central Air Force and the Sixth Air Force?"
Qin Zhenbang strode up to Hu Jialin and handed over the message: "This is a reply from the Central Air Force and the Sixth Air Force Regiment. The three brigades of the Central Air Force and the three attack aircraft squadrons of the Sixth Air Force Regiment are all ready and are expected to be ready within half an hour.
It can reach Jixian airspace. Commander, do you think the Japanese army will really dispatch fighter planes to bomb our artillery positions as we planned?"
Hu Jialin took the telegram, glanced at it, and said confidently:
"Based on my understanding of the Japanese army, they will not let our artillery units show off their power. They will definitely find ways to solve the threat and create conditions for the next attack. Lu Yixuan has a reasonable layout. The artillery positions of each division of the 17th Army are placed behind the positions.
On the mountain, the Japanese artillery fire did not have such a long range. The penetration and destruction of small groups of troops on the ground could only provide more food for our special forces. In this way, they could only have a chance of winning by sending out the air force to assist.
"Each division of our Fifth Army is equipped with an anti-aircraft artillery battalion. With the addition of the 120 anti-aircraft guns captured from the Japanese army this time, the threat to Japanese fighter planes has doubled. As long as we seize the opportunity properly and work closely with the air force officers and soldiers,
If we cooperate, we might be able to deal a huge blow to the Japanese fighter planes."
Zhang Chengzhu said with a smile: "According to the reconnaissance results of our high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft for more than a day, the total number of Japanese fighter planes in North China is about three to four hundred. After deducting a large number of reconnaissance planes and bombers, the number of attack aircraft is about one hundred. Their performance is basically
It cannot be compared with the A26 fighter jets of our Anjia Army. Coupled with the cooperation of our ground air defense forces, it is not impossible to repeat the Baoding victory. Of course, the choice of timing is very important. If our air force arrives early or late, it is possible.
It has led to the overall failure, and now it depends on whether God is on our side."
At this time, Huang Zhi, who was standing in front of the map and thinking carefully, suddenly said:
"I think there are many doubts about Song Mingxuan's victory message forwarded by the Military Commission. How can the three divisions of the 69th Army, which were adapted from the 29th Group Army of Song Mingxuan from the Jidong Security Force, be the opponents of the two Japanese divisions? According to
Our reconnaissance plane conducted high-altitude reconnaissance and found that there were at least 50,000 Japanese troops in the area north of Miyun. Even if Song Mingxuan sent the guard division and the 59th Army instructor division north to support, they were no match for the Japanese troops. Now the Japanese troops have retreated without a fight.
Is there a huge conspiracy involved?"
Hu Jialin and Zhang Chengzhu were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and quickly came to the large map to observe carefully, but still found nothing.
Zhang Chengzhu said hesitantly: "Maybe there are other reasons. Looking at the overall situation, as long as the Nankou and Miyun are not lost, and the vast mountains are used as barriers, Peiping can be safe. Now we still focus on the next attack on the Japanese fighter planes.
Let’s go into encirclement and suppression, this is the most critical battle that will determine the current situation of the war.”
"Maybe I'm worrying too much!"
Huang Zhi shook his head: "I don't know why, but when I saw the small white flag north of Miyun on the map suddenly disappearing, I felt frightened. Also, Jiuxiao said that the Japanese army currently facing the Forty Division was also what Liu Zhi said
The main division of the Japanese army has turned into a Japanese brigade. All these circumstances combined make people feel uneasy."
Hu Jialin nodded: "I can understand this feeling, but judging from the current situation, no matter how the Japanese army changes its formation, it will not pose a substantial threat to our Fifth Army, so we still have to fight the battle in front of us well in order to
Thinking about other aspects. Listen, the explosions outside are heard again. It must be the Japanese fighter planes dispatched..."
...
Bangjun Town forward position.
There was a huge roar in the sky that stung the eardrums, and a large black "dark cloud" cut off the sunlight near noon and rushed towards An's army's position.
At this time, all the officers and soldiers on the position had already evacuated, leaving only a few observation posts.
Groups of fighter planes roared and passed over the trenches at low altitude. As the wings of the aircraft kept shaking, the swaying aerial bombs fell on the position in dense clusters like "dropping dumplings".
"Rumble--"
There was a sudden tremor, and the entire defense line guarded by the Anjia Army was once again surrounded by fire and gunpowder smoke. Violent explosions continued. Splashing shrapnel and soil flew more than ten meters in the air and then suddenly fell.
The defense line was filled up by more than ten centimeters in an instant.
This time, the Japanese fighter planes did not stay too long on the position. Instead, they continued to pounce on the foothills behind Bangjun Town and Yaoliu Town. They poured a large number of bombardments on the places where the artillery of the *** Division and the 17th Division had shelled.
The bomb, and the entire green mountains were suddenly enveloped in violent explosions and smoke.
