The Japanese artillery bombardment has begun. At the beginning, it was still a 75mm artillery bombardment.
But it soon became a bombardment of 150 mm tonnage.
It is still somewhat destructive to the entire Dazhuang Fortress.
However, it is basically impossible to destroy sixteen air defense towers.
So for now, we are still bombarding casually, while the aerial reconnaissance soldiers are recording the position of the Japanese artillery.
After all, it's only a mere ten kilometers.
The Japanese's 150mm field howitzer only has a range of 12 kilometers.
If you want to be more accurate, you have to move forward.
So the shelling started ten kilometers away.
The range of ten kilometers is not half the range of the 155mm cannon in the anti-aircraft tower.
You must know that the 155mm cannon has a range of up to 20 kilometers.
But it is easy to destroy the opponent.
The main reason why the opponent was not destroyed immediately was to bring the three Japanese divisions closer.
So close that they couldn't escape the shelling range for an hour or two.
"Go and notify Commander Zhang and ask him to give the news to the little devils. They are approaching the fortress. Please ask for their assistance and attack with all your strength to break through the entire fortress."
Nan Beichen said with a smile, he had been waiting for this good opportunity to come soon.
Commander Zhang immediately sent the message to the Jaap contact person.
Then the little devil also started a three-pronged attack.
Six regiments with nearly 20,000 people began to storm the fortress.
"Hit me hard! In the first round, I will inflict heavy damage on them, in the second round, I will give them hope, and in the third round, I will kill them!"
Following Nan Beichen's order, the artillery unit began to fire.
Only 75mm field guns, anti-tank guns, infantry guns, and mortars were fired.
Shells were falling from the sky all over the sky, and the little devils also knew that there were many artillery here, so they started to come despite the shelling.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
Countless cannonballs flew to the ground like meteors.
The Japanese were killed one after another, and countless limbs and broken arms were scattered on the ground.
One of the areas was full of shell craters, which was encountered by the unfortunate Major General Hatoyama before.
The other side is also under fire.
It's just that they were all hit in the open space, and there was no strong greeting to the national army.
The Japs lost more than 7,000 people in the first round of attacks. It can be said that most of the Japs were already heartbroken.
In the second round of attacks, three suicide squads were directly selected to prepare for a forcible attack.
After all, if it doesn’t work once, you have to keep trying the second time.
The Japanese were also depressed. The 150mm howitzer on their side had been shelling, but it had no effect.
It actually worked, and many shooting holes were destroyed.
But what's the use of hundreds of artillery pieces that only blow up a dozen firing holes.
The most important artillery was hidden underground, and some of the heavyweight field artillery used slide rails.
It can be transferred quickly, but it is not necessary yet.
There must have been losses, as more than sixty artillery pieces and more than a dozen cannons were destroyed.
These losses are still acceptable, and now we are waiting for the little devil's second round of attacks.
The shelling weakened a lot, which gave the little devil hope.
The outer bunkers began to fire.
The dense firepower net pinned the little devil less than 600 meters away from the fortress.
This gave the Japs hope, thinking that they could definitely take down the Dazhuang Fortress in one fell swoop with just one more dash.
"Yo Xi! It seems that the firepower of the laggards has been unable to keep up. The momentum of this artillery bombardment is no longer as strong as before. It seems that a large number of artillery pieces have been destroyed!"
A Japanese division commander said with a proud look on his face.
In his opinion, the third attack will definitely capture the entire Dazhuang Fortress.
The Japanese also want these sixteen air defense towers.
So for the third time, the Japanese were prepared to take care of them together with the national army on the opposite side.
The ideas are all good, but it’s not yet clear who is the knife and who is the flesh!
For the third attack, the Japanese began to mobilize all their forces and prepared to dispatch 10,000 troops directly.
"The Japs are starting to overwhelm the enemy, please notify General Zhang immediately and let them act according to the plan!"
Nan Beichen immediately ordered.
"Yes! Military seat!"
The female clerk next to her immediately recorded what Nan Beichen said in her notebook and went to execute it.
"Order the artillery to prepare for full firepower! When they enter two kilometers, firepower will be full. I will kill as many Japanese as I want!"
Nan Beichen immediately ordered.
"Order the 155 cannon to destroy the Japanese field heavy artillery regiment!"
Nan Beichen continued to order.
One order after another began to be issued.
The end of the devil is coming.
With a command, countless cannonballs flew out.
Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!
The first nine 155mm cannons fired towards the Japanese area and bombarded them.
The location had already been exposed, so there was no privacy at all and he was instantly killed.
Followed by a group of 150mm howitzers, 105mm howitzers, and 150mm heavy infantry guns, they headed towards the little devil like a tsunami.
The cannonballs that covered the sky were like countless scythes of death waving.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers disappeared under a round of shelling.
Only at this moment did the Japanese realize that they had been fooled!
"Bagaya Road! Retreat! Retreat! We've been fooled! Damn the late payers, these despicable late payers!"
Several Japanese division leaders looked at everything in front of them with utter fear.
They knew that if they had not run away, there would probably be no one left.
The headquarters is within an eight-kilometer range, and it would take a lot of time to run ten kilometers away.
This is not a highway where you can just hit the accelerator and run away.
Hundreds of artillery pieces began to fire at the little devil at the same time.
Even 64 88mm anti-aircraft guns began shelling.
The Japanese who charged instantly died in large areas.
In the true sense of fire coverage, these artillery pieces alone cover hundreds of acres of land.
You can imagine how many little devils there must be in this area.
When the Japanese attack with 30,000 people in three directions, one person is basically separated by three to five steps.
In such a dense area, it is easy to imagine the shells falling.
The Japanese didn't even scream anymore.
The 200,000 national troops of the national government began to surround them from the left and right sides.
The Japanese army of 100,000 people was directly hit hard, and then was besieged by 200,000 people.
The key is that the encirclement is a position covered by artillery, which can support bombardment at any time.
You must know that the 105mm howitzer can shoot ten kilometers away.
There are also so many 150mm howitzers, and the enemy's support will also be bombarded.
What's more, there are so many national troops who will not easily let the little devils come in to meet their people.
This time it was the little devil's biggest defeat.
The destruction of one hundred thousand people was also a huge blow to the little devil.
