The Japanese attack was well prepared. While they were bombarding, the infantry troops were also advancing rapidly.
They have to attack the enemy's outer positions before the bombardment stops, otherwise, they will become a living target of the national army, because when the shelling stops, the firepower of these national army troops will immediately resume!
Of course, these little devils want their artillery units to be able to blast for a longer time, but their artillery shell reserves are very limited. They have neither the productivity of Lao Maozi nor the arrogance of Tokusan, so of course they have to be frugal. Use it - the battle ahead will still take a long time. No one knows how many battles there are to fight ahead. If all the artillery shells are used up at the critical moment, the group of horse dung in the Logistics Department of the 11th Army will not give them such There are too many non-main force troops to support.
…
Let’s talk about the other side, towards Xiangbei.
The Japanese Sixth Division, which was recharged and full of energy, finally reached the Xinqianghe defense line.
For the national army, the news that the Japanese army was going south had long been known. After all, they had also deployed many reconnaissance troops on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. Their purpose was to detect the movement of the Japanese army.
Somewhere deep in the mountains on the south bank of the Xinqiang River, Guan Linzheng looked at the positions in the distance with a telescope, coupled with the Japanese bombers circling in the sky, his fists could not help but clenched slightly.
"Slutty little Japan, you really think highly of me! More than ninety planes!" Guan Linzheng cursed fiercely, and handed the binoculars in his hand to the adjutant next to him.
"Sir, do you want to send more troops to the front line? Listening to the sound of artillery, they may have no less than sixty artillery pieces." the adjutant asked.
"No need. With the strength of the defense line built by our Fifteenth Group Army on the front line, it shouldn't be a problem to withstand their shelling and bombing for three to five days. But if we send people there now, it is tantamount to sending our people to die. This group of little devils are not good at fighting. They most likely want to break through our army's Xinqianghe position. No matter what, the Xinqianghe first-line position must buy time for the Miluo River second-line position. We can't do it because of Xinqianghe. The failure of the Qianghe frontline position resulted in the Miluo River position being neglected," Guan Linzheng said.
"Sir, you are wise." The adjutant said flatteringly.
"That's it!" Guan Linzheng looked worried. Obviously, he didn't have much confidence in the guards of the Xinqianghe front-line position - the other side could use more than 90 aircraft to bomb the Xinqianghe position, and more than 60 more The artillery was bombarding the frontline positions, and the main force of the enemy was the Sixth Division of the "Beast Division". It would be difficult to defend such a position by just one 195th Division.
Thinking of this, Guan Linzheng felt that it was necessary to leave the Xinqianghe front line, because it would be a matter of time before it fell, and their focus must be on the Miluo River defense line.
…
The camera returns to Huangsha Town.
The attack suffered by the Huangsha Town position was not as "majestic" as that of the Xinqianghe position. It could not even reach one-fifth of the intensity of the bombardment. After all, the Japanese army did not go all out, and there was even a wave of In the "soy sauce" illusion.
"Commander, is the current attack on the front line of Huangsha Town similar to the Japanese army's previous style, even when they were attacking, they were saving artillery shells?" Li Yinglun reminded Zhang Tianhai. He always felt that something was wrong. But it’s hard to tell.
"It does feel like if they use all their firepower, I'm afraid Huangsha Town won't be able to withstand it for long." Zhang Tianhai finally discovered the clue, and the answer was these shells.
"Why did the Japanese army do this? Do foreign workers?" Zhang Tianhai himself secretly muttered. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain this feeling.
"Commander-in-Chief, I feel that no matter what, we must be fully prepared. The Japanese army may have sensed our arrangement now, and maybe they are planning other things. After all, among the Japanese troops we have come into contact with, They don’t have to be completely rigid," Li Yinglun reminded.
"Yes, I understand." Zhang Tianhai nodded. For him, if he didn't grasp this battle well, it would really cost him his head.
…
Sure enough, the Japanese army's bombardment did not last long. They fired more than 30 shells sparsely at Huangsha Town and then stopped.
At this time, these Japanese infantry troops also rushed to the outskirts of Huangsha Town as scheduled. For them, the attack at this time was just right - at least they had rushed past the 50 meters where they were most likely to die!
However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they got close, the ground began to explode. Apparently, the national army officers and soldiers had used grenades, grenades and other things to lay booby traps in advance!
In fact, it is not difficult to arrange these booby traps. You just need to use ropes, wooden sticks and other materials to fix the grenades that have been opened or the grenades with the tabs fastened. They will not trip them until the Japanese troops rush to the front. Those ropes, the ropes took advantage of the situation to throw the grenade or grenade into the air. During the throwing process, the grenade's ring and the grenade's drawstring had come off.
In order to cover up these ropes, these national army engineers even lightly buried these ropes, wooden sticks, grenades, etc. with sand, in order to confuse these Japanese troops.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
…
Accompanied by the sound of explosions, these grenades and grenades exploded in mid-air, causing maximum damage to these Japanese soldiers - because the fragments produced by the explosions of these grenades and grenades flew towards the bodies of these Japanese officers and soldiers in all directions.
For a moment, there were explosions and screams!
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the national army were finally about to attack. They immediately picked up their long guns and short cannons and started shooting at the charging Japanese troops from the bunkers. The Japanese attack was immediately frustrated!
Of course, the true level of the Japanese army cannot be interrupted just because of this small setback.
Their grenadier soldiers immediately put the grenade in their hands on the ground and fired small shells at Huangsha Town. The sound of "boom", "boom" and "boom" was endless.
Even their light machine gunners who were not killed immediately chose to shoot on the ground.
The sounds of gunshots and explosions were heard all the time, and it was very lively for a while, as lively as the fireworks during the New Year.
…
On the top of the mountain.
Looking at the scenes launched below, Li Yinglun couldn't help but sigh: "Commander-in-Chief, your brain is so good. If the engineering troops hadn't been trained in advance, this battle would have been really troublesome... …”
"Brother Ying Lun is very complimentary. All in all, this battle we are fighting is the accumulation of fighting. We should think several steps ahead of the little devils. It will definitely be the little devils who will suffer, but if we think a few steps behind them, then that's terrible It's just that we are uncomfortable." Zhang Tianhai said with a smile, but for some reason, when he looked at the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but frown slightly - which part was wrong? What evil tricks are these little devils planning?
"What the commander-in-chief said is absolutely true." Li Yinglun nodded.
…
And did Jutaro Amakasu really have other ideas as Zhang Tianhai guessed?
It seems that something has indeed changed.
