Chapter 1248 go hand in hand
"It's over! It's over. The division commander, the power of this train cannon is really terrifying. The steel and concrete thickness of the main castle is 8 meters. Even if it was damaged before, it will be at least 7 meters thick.
However, it was completely destroyed in one shot. Then, our other fortifications,..."
Lianhua Fengji no longer knew what to say. Anyway, she was in a bad mood, and her eyes were filled with a strong sense of fear and powerlessness.
Faced with this invincible human cannon, even the strongest fortifications cannot withstand a few shots without air supremacy.
Faced with this cruel fact that had just been verified, Lianhua Fengji's heart was almost collapsed at this moment!
"Nani? Is this train cannon so powerful? And it's so accurate, doesn't that mean we really can't stop it?"
Jing Tuo Tiezang was even more stunned. He naturally knew the destroyed main fort, and had visited the field many times in person. He knew deeply that the solidity of this main fort could withstand all the bombings of heavy artillery and aviation bombs.
But today it was destroyed by a giant cannon of the Hu Ben Army train under its nose!
What does this mean? Even if Jing Chutiezang is a single-celled animal, it can be calculated.
"Brothers of artillery have done a good job. Please continue to work hard and continue to perform high-level artillery bombardment!"
After being excited, Miao Dadong called the intercom of Gustav's giant cannon commander Lu Zhibin and said loudly with great excitement:
"Well, first name me the ground defenses in front of the Japanese fortifications one by one. Then you will destroy the Japanese fortifications one by one!
Today we strive to smash the fortress of the Japanese Woniu Mountain-Huashan-Huangtaishan, and knock on the portal to the south of the Japanese."
"Yes! Ensure the task is completed!"
Lu Zhibin received the order loudly with a full breath, and then began to get busy again, calibrating the muzzle and launching shelling the next military target.
Just when Gustav's giant cannon completed a killing with one blow, the 8th, 3rd, 4th and 5th Army were advancing in unison and launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese defense zone.
The offensive and defensive battle on the north bank of the Yellow River has long entered a new round of fierce battles, a life-and-death battle.
The 3rd Army and the 4th Army are currently mainly responsible for clearing the remaining Japanese enemies on the Yellow River Defense Line and completely controlling the entire Yellow River Defense Line. The 5th Army continues to go north to clear the outer defense lines of Binxian and Lijin County, and further encircle the Japanese and puppet troops who resisted stubbornly by the two counties.
Not to mention the 8th Army, as the new force, they are destined to be the protagonist today.
After the bomber group completed the bombing of the outer defense positions and city defense fortifications in Jiyang County, the self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers began a new round of carpet bombing.
Then, under the cover of the tank armored troops, the infantry of the 15th Division launched a formal attack on Shangjia Village and Dongjia Village, the outer defense line of Jiyang County.
First, bombard the plane, then bombard the cannon, and then tanks to traction infantry to attack. Such three axe tactics have always been the "patent" of the Japanese army.
Relying on the absolute advantage of technical equipment, the Japanese army was invincible in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan. In a short period of time, they occupied the vast territory of China and blocked all the sea ports of China.
But now, it is the turn of the Hu Ben Army to use this three-pronged tactic on the Japanese army, and it is still using it more and more aggressively.
Before the 15th Division of the Hu Ben Army officially launched its attack, under the almost crazy bombing, the peripheral defense lines and city defense fortifications that the Japanese worked hard to manage were severely destroyed, and the Japanese soldiers were also seriously injured.
After a morning of attack, the 15th Division has steadily taken over and has already advanced into Shangjia Village and the two outer defense lines in Dongjia Village are further clearing the remaining enemies in the village.
The Japanese who were poisoned by the Bushidao were indeed fierce enough. Even when they were absolutely at a disadvantage and were pressed to the ground to rub hard, they still fought to the death and used all kinds of means to fight and consume with the Hu Ben Army.
Under the fierce resistance of these Japanese, the 15th Division suffered a certain degree of casualties and equipment losses.
The early battles of the 16th Division of the 8th Army of the Hu Ben Army were relatively simple and easy. After several less intense battles, they eliminated the remnants of the Japanese army who were fighting stubbornly, and pushed the front line to the Tuhai River defense line more than ten kilometers away.
Lying on a small earth slope on the south bank of Tuhai River, Cen Shukang, the commander of the 16th Division, took a telescope and carefully observed the Japanese and puppet troops' defense line across the river.
The Tuhai River section in front of Cen Shukang is more than 110 meters wide. Although the water flow is not urgent, the river surface, which is more than 100 meters wide, is still considered a steep natural defense line.
Not only did the Japanese have already blown up several bridges in the Tuhai River, but the ships in the surrounding villages were naturally cleared out, and they would not leave any convenient conditions for the Hu Ben Army to cross the river.
The Japanese built a very complete defense system on the other side of the river, including trenches, bunkers, mine arrays, and barbed wire mesh. There are also Japanese artillery towers and turrets further away.
After putting down the telescope, Ou Liangbin, the chief of staff of the 16th Division, turned to Cen Shukang and said, "Old Cen, based on the intelligence provided by the intelligence department, after a long period of rebellion by our agents, many senior puppet army officers have clearly expressed their willingness to revolt in front of the battlefield.
Maybe the puppet army in front of us is one of them!”
Cen Shukang raised his lips slightly and said, "This is the best way, otherwise we can only kill today. No matter whether he is a Japanese or a dog-legged person, as long as he dares to resist and be an enemy of us, he can only kill him without hesitation."
Ou Liangbin smiled and said, "The 15th Division is already fighting fiercely. It's time for us to do something here, otherwise would we keep it for the New Year?"
"It must be a fight, the key is how it costs money!"
Cen Shukang nodded and asked with a smile: "Old Cen, you must have been confident, right? Then tell me your plan quickly. What kind of tactics should we adopt to be the most cost-effective?"
"Although the terrain on both sides of the Tuhai River is flat and the river water is very smooth, the water surface is more than 100 meters long after all. If we have to force the firepower on the other side to carry out bridge operations, it will definitely be very difficult."
Ou Liangbin pondered for a moment and said, "So you have to work in two ways and use the advantages of land and air to suppress firepower, so that the engineers can enter the field to build bridges."
Cen Shukang nodded and said, "Well, that's the case,"
Ou Liangbin then said: "In addition, since our agents have instigated many puppet army leaders, we cannot waste this resource.
I think I can find out before the shelling of the artillery force, the puppet army troops on the other side are willing to revolt in front of the formation, such as directly calling out with a tweeter and asking them to hang a white flag to respond.
