Since he had obtained the Japanese troop deployment map in advance, and the fortification groups were all marked, the bombings were very targeted. Oshima Mamoru felt that the Eighth Route Army's bombs had eyes;
Almost all the heavy aerial bombs dropped from medium and high altitudes fell into the Japanese bunkers, blowing them up one by one.
Due to material restrictions, the Japanese's so-called permanent fortifications, which can withstand the bombardment of 75mm howitzers and mountain artillery, are completely unable to withstand 600-pound aerial bombs;
As long as it hits directly, even if it is not blown up, the huge shock wave will kill the Japanese inside. Therefore, the only way to deal with the aerial bomb is not to be hit by it!
"Bless me, Amaterasu! Don't hit me, don't hit me!"
Oshima Moriyi was praying very unheroically. After just one round of bombing, his previous self-confidence was destroyed. Now he just wants to save his life.
The commander of the 32nd Division was also bombed and lost confidence. The old Japanese finally experienced the thunderous fury of the Eighth Route Army. Now he finally knew that the Eighth Route Army was not bragging, they were just reluctant to destroy Quancheng.
"Bagaya Road!"
Bagaya Road! "
He originally wanted to say that just blowing up the sky was useless, but then he thought it made no sense. The Eighth Route Army still knows how to blow up. If bombs can be used to solve the problem, who will use infantry?
They used to deal with the Chinese people like this, who have the right to criticize others now!
The bombing by the Chinese Air Force lasted for half an hour. Almost half of the Japanese surface fortifications were destroyed. The hard-dug anti-infantry trenches were filled with soil, and many mines were buried deep underground together with the Japanese.
Many were blown away, and the Japanese hiding in the fortifications suffered heavy casualties. The broken limbs and broken arms of the Japanese were everywhere.
They finally managed to wait until the plane dropped the bombs, but before they could react, the sound of shells breaking through the air was heard in the sky;
Dozens of artillery pieces from the artillery regiment directly under the 107th column opened fire and launched another fierce bombardment on the Japanese positions.
The previous plane bombing had already broken open the turtle's shell, and the subsequent bombardment was equivalent to giving them a last-ditch hit. After all, the number of heavy bombs was limited, and one round of bombing was only a few hundred.
The artillery shells are different. The artillery regiment's 32 130mm Weishen cannons can project more than 200 shells at a time, which can cover the position of a Japanese regiment;
A dozen rounds, nearly 3,000 heavy artillery shells, average number of Japs in the 32nd Division can be divided into one artillery shell. With such density of shelling, those who can survive are lucky.
The fortifications that the Japanese had worked so hard to build were almost destroyed. Before the Eighth Route Army infantry could charge, Lieutenant General Ishii Yoshie could no longer hold on and asked Dohashi for tactical guidance.
Tuqiao was once frightened by the Eighth Route Army's offensive. The firepower was too fierce. Even the Japanese Army's first-class divisions could not achieve such firepower intensity;
There was no way to fight this battle, and he now had no confidence in holding Quancheng. Since Ishii Kae asked for tactical guidance, he sent all the most ferocious troops he had called before.
Lieutenant General Yoshie Ishii did not expect that the Commander would be so generous, and he was moved to say to the Chief of Staff, Colonel Masahiko Kobayashi:
"Xiao Lin, I have some misunderstandings about the Division Commander. His support for the 32nd Division is unsparing!
With such a tight military strength, four brigades of troops were reinforced at one time, which was undoubtedly a timely help;
One brigade was left as a reserve, and the other three brigade were all added to the 210th and 212th regiments to prepare for the Eighth Route Army's infantry attack! "
Although Kobayashi Masahiko is a colonel, his emotional intelligence is obviously higher than that of Lieutenant General Ishii;
In his opinion, most of the fortifications in the outer city had been blown up and there was no value in holding on. Sending four brigades up at this time was no different than sending someone to death.
He didn't dare to think about it and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. However, the division commander didn't know the dangers of people's hearts and even said thank you to the commander.
He looked at his division commander as if he were a fool. It would be difficult to die following such a fool, but he didn't want to die the most.
"Xiao Lin-kun, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Ishii Yoshie said displeasedly that now is the most difficult time for the entire division. Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army would not mind giving him a ride first.
Chief of Staff Kobayashi felt the murderous aura from Ishii, so he could only accept the task and went down to make arrangements for the challenge. Only then did the murderous aura in Ishii disappear.
The Japanese were waiting for the Eighth Route Army infantry group to attack, but unfortunately they never did. Instead, they waited for rows of Wei Yixiao artillery to attack;
This time it was the Second Brigade that was responsible for the main attack. The Second Brigade Commander Wu Ruining (Commander of the First Division of the Central Shandong Military Region) gathered all the hundreds of Wei Yixiao artillery pieces in the brigade to form an artillery array.
Although the effective range of the Wei Yixiao Cannon is only more than 500 meters (standard equipment uniformly produced by the Hedong Military Region), it is very powerful. After a few rounds of charging, the blow to the Japanese will be huge.
The surviving Japs crawled out of the tunnels and ruins. The machine guns hidden in the hidden fire points had their bullets loaded, waiting for the Eighth Route Army infantry to launch a charge. The Japs were imagining giving the Eighth Route Army a hard blow. lesson.
Oshima Moriyi's life was on his side, and he was lucky enough to escape the attack of the aerial bomb. The turtle shell withstood the attack of the Wei Shen Cannon. He now personally commands the heavy machine gun, preparing to meet the Eighth Route Army infantry. charge;
After the artillery bombardment, it was naturally the infantry's turn to charge, but unfortunately he forgot that this was not a battle of the Eighth Route Army!
"fire!"
Following Brigadier Wu's order, hundreds of explosive packets flew towards the Japanese positions in front of them, and the area of attack was the Japanese positions within 500 meters of the front.
Oshima Morihi heard the sound of the shells breaking through the air. This time it seemed that the caliber was larger, and he couldn't help but cursed:
"Bagaya Road, is it still over -"
Oshima Morihi felt a heavy object fall on the top of the bunker, and he reflexively fell to the ground. Although he was protected by a turtle shell, he felt that it was safer to lie down.
There was a huge explosion, and a huge shock wave bounced him off the ground, and then he fell heavily;
This time, their luck was extremely bad. Perhaps Amaterasu, whom he had been praying for, fell asleep, and an explosive package directly hit the top of the bunker.
The old Japanese soldier Oshima fell to the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and all his internal organs were shattered. Although the entire bunker was not smashed to pieces, all the Japanese soldiers hiding inside were killed by the shock, and each one was stronger and uglier than the last.
Wei Yixiao's cannon rarely hits the bunker directly. This time they won the first prize, and the prize was taken away by Amaterasu.
The saturation bombardment of Wei Yixiao cannon is really an old ghost that kills the Japs. After more than ten rounds, there are no Japs left within 500 meters of the front.
A loud bugle sounded, the infantry group attack began, and the Japanese doomsday of the 32nd Division was coming...
