Within the encirclement, the Central Corps began to encircle and annihilate the 7th Division;
The Japanese on the periphery also accelerated the speed of closing the net, and the two sides were competing for time.
The Central Corps no longer hid and used all its strength, and the Seventh Division finally felt overwhelming pressure.
At the 7th Division Headquarters, Chief of Staff Suzuki Keiji, Colonel, reported to the division commander, Lieutenant General Yukichi Koichi:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army's offensive is too fierce. The artillery shells are like fireworks. The Imperial Army has suffered heavy casualties. They have broken through two lines of defense in succession!"
Old Japanese Li Deng was startled by the sudden display of powerful attack power by the Eighth Route Army. An ominous premonition surged in his heart, and he pretended to be calm and said:
"Suzuki group, don't worry, this is the Chinese people's reflection before they die!
As long as they withstand this final blow, they are not far from destruction;
Tell the warriors of the empire that the time has come for His Majesty to test them!
Use the blood of the imperial warriors to dye this black land red, and use their bravery to make the Chinese people tremble! "
The old Japanese issued a death order to the troops, and he wanted to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army.
"Since the Japanese want to die, let's send them away with a cannon and let Wei Shenpao teach the Japanese how to be a human being!
Fire the artillery and use up all the rockets. I can't survive! "
In the headquarters, Li Qing faced the Japs' madness, and he also went mad;
His madness means that he cannot survive, blowing all the artillery shells at the Japanese, and using rocket launchers to clear the ground!
Following Li Qing's order, more than 300 8-barreled Wei Shen cannons from the entire Central Corps were at full firepower!
One salvo fired 2,400 130mm rockets, hitting the Japanese like hailstones, and one salvo covered the position of a Japanese regiment;
You know, the Japs only have a few regiments in total. In one word - the Japs are so worthless!
Of course, the artillery shells were also wasted. With such extravagant fireworks, the Eighth Route Army could only afford six rounds of nearly 15,000 artillery shells. Within ten minutes, all the artillery shell reserves were used up, covering all the positions of the Seventh Division, including the Japanese. The location of the headquarters has not been avoided.
The Japs at the division headquarters were all blamed, including the division commander Yukiichi Koto and the chief of staff Suzuki Colonel;
The Japanese command system was paralyzed, and the troops suffered a devastating blow. Even those who survived by chance were stunned by the bombing. Their heads were buzzing, and they didn't recover for a long time. It was so scary!
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the infantry of the Eighth Route Army launched a general attack from all directions on the Japanese positions that had been bombed into a mess.
Thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed towards the Japanese positions in overwhelming numbers;
Immediately, sparse gunfire sounded from the Japanese position, like a few small boats in the huge waves, and a few waves were smashed into wood slag!
The Eighth Route Army's attacking troops did not give the Japanese any time to react. They attacked the Japanese's core position with just one charge, and it took less than an hour to eliminate the remaining enemies on the position.
The previously impressive 7th Division was completely wiped out. The Eighth Route Army unceremoniously swallowed up the Japs' bait. The news reached the Far East Expeditionary Force Headquarters. General Xiangyue could hardly believe his ears, thinking that it was... in dreams;
In order to find out if he was in a dream, he slapped the communications staff officer twice. When he saw that the communications staff officer's face was swollen into a pig's head, he believed that it was not a dream!
The bait he carefully prepared was easily swallowed by the Eighth Route Army, which greatly exceeded his expectations. He said angrily:
“Bagaya road, Bagaya road!
A bunch of trash!
A first-class division could not withstand even half a day. This is a humiliation to His Majesty..."
The chief of staff could only listen hard. Even if the saliva sprayed on his face, he would not dare to wipe it.
Ten minutes later, Xiangyue's anger was finally vented. Lieutenant General Udo carefully reminded the commander that they had previously conducted a simulation in which the entire 7th Division was annihilated. This allowed Xiangyue to seize the opportunity again. I don't know if a thick straw can save his life, but at least it gives him a glimmer of hope for the time being.
"Your Excellency, Commander, in order to annihilate the 7th Division, the Eighth Route Army has probably used up all its artillery shells and pushed its position to the ground;
Now around them, there are 250,000 imperial troops surrounding them!
In two days at most, the net will be in place, and by then the Imperial Army will be able to wipe out a squad of the Eighth Route Army with just one shell;
The hundreds of heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade have become their nightmare. Just as they destroyed the 7th Division, we will destroy them.
It's just that the artillery units must pay attention to camouflage. The Eighth Route Army has control of the air. It's time for the air warriors that the dispatch army has been hiding to come in handy!
If the Central Corps of the Eighth Route Army could be completely annihilated, it would be worthwhile to use all the fighter planes. "
Xiangyue old devil nodded and said:
“Yo Xi, what Udu-kun is saying is that the Chinese people in the encirclement have become a lone army;
Annihilating the 7th Division has consumed a lot of their ammunition and supplies. I want to see what they can do to withstand the attack of 300,000 elite imperial troops!
Uto-kun, generate electricity for the airport and order all the air force warriors to attack and blow up all the Chinese tanks and artillery into scrap metal for me;
The infantry is ready for the general attack. We also need to spend one morning to completely annihilate the mechanized corps of the Eighth Route Army, and also give Chu Xiong some pain and kill him! "
The old Jaap Xiangyue is a bit crazy, which is very consistent with the Japs' desperate character and completely fits their temperament.
On the position of the Japanese 7th Division, the First Brigade of the 101st Column of the Eighth Route Army was frantically digging fortifications;
Naturally, the position of the Seventh Division was not enough for the entire Central Corps of 120,000 men, and the other two brigades continued to stay in their original positions.
Armored columns of tanks and self-propelled guns. All are hidden in the old forests. The most indispensable thing in the Greater Khingan Mountains in the Far East is the old forests. This is the sharp spear used by the Central Corps to launch the final assault. When the Central Corps blooms, it depends on them.
A huge fleet of Japanese aircraft flew over from the north, and air defense whistles sounded one after another from the Eighth Route Army's outer positions;
Pass from ten to ten, pass from ten to a hundred, all the way to the deep positions. This is the experience summed up by the Eighth Route Army in its long-term air defense.
In order to attract the enemy's firepower, Li Qing had previously driven hundreds of trucks onto the main road, and then used tree branches to slightly block them, which was a bit of a cover-up.
Although China has control of the air, it will take some time from the discovery of the Japanese fleet's sneak attack to the dispatch of the fleet to intercept. During this period, Li Qing and the others can only carry it.
The Japs' fleet soon appeared over the Central Corps' defense area. The first thing they discovered was the hundreds of trucks. This made the Japs leading the team very excited. This was definitely a big piece of fat. They mistakenly thought it was armor. The heavy equipment of the column.
The Japanese commander shouted excitedly:
"Warriors, kill the chickens! Kill them all!"
Groups of Japanese planes swooped down like eagles on chickens, and strings of bombs fell from the sky, overturning trucks one after another. This made the blood of the Japanese pilots boil with excitement.
