【Ding! Side mission detected, retake Datong and annihilate 70,000 Japanese troops! Mission rewards are random! 】
At the right time, a large-scale battle involving 100,000 regular armed forces would be more intense than when the National Defense Forces stormed Taiyuan!
The two armies are not just ordinary attackers and defenders. On the surface, the Japanese army has the advantage of being in a commanding position to defend the city with high walls and deep walls. However, according to the strategic goals set by the North China Front before the war, their mission is to completely eliminate the Chinese Defense Forces and regain the city. Taiyuan!
On the other hand, it is a taboo for military strategists to defeat more with less, not to mention that they are still on the offensive side. Therefore, while taking into account the offensive, the officers must also be vigilant to prevent the Japanese counterattack.
But obviously, Li Yunfeng didn't care about this and was still immersed in a fierce battle with Von Derbeck at the wine table. The aroma of twenty-year-old Wuliangye wine penetrated the guard monk's nose from time to time, causing the latter's heart to flutter.
Thanks to the help of Lieutenant Colonel Shell in front of them, the Gestapo obtained hundreds of genuine household registration identities from various Asian countries and even South America. Among them was a Japanese-Brazilian who was originally a descendant of a down-and-out noble. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese all-out war, this person I wanted to cross the ocean and return to Japan, but I didn't want to spend all my money to board the ferry. Halfway there, a typhoon blew up and overturned the boat with more than 700 people on board, feeding the sharks in the waters of the US-controlled Philippines.
By chance, the household registration identity fell into the hands of the Gestapo, but was taken away by von der Beck and specially delivered to Li Yunfeng's desk. He must have something extraordinary about it.
Sure enough, when he got the other party's information and photos, his eyes lit up!
The 1.93 meter tall man was in a panic among a group of Brazilians and couldn't give in. What's even more rare is that this guy is a branch descendant of Japan's Emperor Taoyuan 150 years ago, and is the same as the current Prince Minamoto of Fushimi Palace. Coming out of a line, before the Meiji Restoration, he was a proper royal noble!
It's a pity that the height advantage and proficiency in Japanese are two major barriers that deter Wangchen, the intelligence officer under his command, and none of them is worthy of the important task!
It just so happened that Li Yunfeng himself was a perfect match for his height, language, and temperament. However, his face was well-known to everyone in the North China Front. Therefore, if he wanted to use intelligence, he had to infiltrate his past life makeup first. Pick up your skills again!
"Tong! Tong! Tong!"
At the right time, the artillery groups of the defense force and garrison corps outside the headquarters were divided into two locations in the east and west, pouring desperately towards the Japanese positions.
In less than thirty minutes, two hundred medium and large-caliber artillery pieces had fired no less than 20 shells at the opponent.
The 22nd Division, which was hiding in the trenches on the outskirts of the city, did not dare to raise its head at all, not because it was afraid of being shot down by artillery shells, but because it was afraid that such a dense artillery group would bombard them and form a tidal wave of air that would tear apart a person's internal organs. Split, life is worse than death!
"Fengzi, don't you think this is the end of it? With so many shells hitting it, I think you will fill up the enemy's trenches!"
At the right time, Li Yunlong stepped down from the wine table and shouted through the telescope!
A full half hour of non-stop bombardment! The two hundred cannons fired at least thousands of shells, and the dust and soil kicked up accumulated, even forming rugged slopes in the trenches dug by the 22nd Division. If you stood on the highest section, it would be equivalent to The smaller half of his body was exposed to the guns of the defense forces.
The artillery was so happy! Li Yunlong felt distressed! Thousands of artillery shells in half an hour. Even the 74th Army, the main force directly under the Central Committee, would not dare to squander it so arrogantly!
"The poor are interspersed with tactics, and the rich are bombed by me! The artillery manufacturing bureau of my No. 1 military factory can produce 500 rounds of ammunition a day! It's only a few thousand rounds of artillery shells, which can be completely smashed!"
At the right time, Li Yunfeng covered Von Derbeck lying on the table with a piece of clothing, picked up the wine cup and said slowly...
"Bagaya! How long has it been? The bones of the Shinas are so hard! How much equipment did that damn guy Yoshio Shinozuka leave for the defense forces?"
Inside the joint headquarters of the 2nd Division and the 22nd Division, dust and sand were flying, the building was shaking, and the shock wave generated by the explosion carried a tidal wave of earth and gravel downwards like a gust of wind and rain, pouring onto everyone in the bunker. on the head.
The leader, Toharu Yasui, couldn't help but feel angry, and kept observing the battle situation at the front through telescopes.
Thinking back to the battle of Taiyuan more than half a year ago, the North China Front Army only had less than 60,000 troops from the 2nd and 5th divisions. When it faced off against a total of 270,000 troops from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in the Second Theater, it was only four. In one day's work, more than 110,000 enemies were wiped out, and countless middle and senior officers above the colonel level were captured.
At that time, when the 60,000-strong army faced Taiyuan City with its high walls and deep walls, they relied on large-caliber cannons!
But I never thought that the offensive and defensive positions of the Chinese and Japanese armies would now change!
As the main force of the Japanese support force in this battle, the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment was proud of its 24 Type 96 150mm howitzers. Although it was far better than the 75mm mountain cannon and infantry cannon of the previous infantry, it faced the defense force's all-M144 155mm howitzers. When it comes to heavy howitzers, there is no way to fight back.
As everyone knows, this is the only large-caliber field artillery that the North China Front Army and even the entire Japanese invaders can use. Unfortunately, the 11-kilometer range was swept away by a cluster of 155 howitzers before it could be dragged to the designated location.
"Wait a minute! No matter how powerful China's artillery shells are, there will always be a moment when they are finished! According to the analysis of the surviving soldiers in Taiyuan, after the defense forces are covered by artillery fire, they will launch a group charge! By then, our Imperial Japanese Army will take care of them It’s time! Yasui-kun, please be patient and don’t be impatient!”
Hearing this, Anjing Toji nodded gloomily to express his approval!
In this battle, it was impossible for the two divisions of the Japanese army to have more than 70,000 people stationed around a Datong city like spreading beans. Therefore, combined with the task of annihilating the Chinese Defense Forces, Yasui and Dohashi decided to appoint the second division. The regiment was stationed in the city defense, while the 22nd Division dug trenches in the suburbs thirty miles away from Datong City and launched positional warfare with it.
The partial sacrifice of the 22nd Division was exchanged for the 2nd Division to wait for work, because at that time the Japanese generals unanimously believed that our own artillery could not reach the opponent anyway, so it was better to rely on the advantage of fighting with more and less, and wait for the enemy's ammunition supply to be exhausted. Then, wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
Under the bombardment, Anjing Toji's thoughts were racing, and he fantasized about beheading Li Yunfeng to commemorate his son's spirit in heaven.
"Look! There seems to be a huge black bat in the sky! Oh my god, he flies so high!"
When he was lost in thought, the adjutant beside him raised his hand to the sky and sighed at the same time.
Hearing this, Toji Yasui took a closer look through the telescope and stared for a long time. Then he suddenly looked horrified and shouted loudly:
"No, it's coming for us! That's not a bat! That's a plane!"
