Su Yu continued, "Let the World War II zone be fought quickly. Whether we can achieve a critical victory in the Central Plains War depends on whether the Eastern Province is in our hands."
In Su Yu's mind, his strategic plan was like a big chess game, and all war zones were interconnected. As long as it was implemented, the blow to the little devil would be huge.
"clear."
...
In early August, the First Theater Command.
Seven days have passed since Su Yu issued the order. During these seven days, the combat effectiveness of the First Theater Command has been greatly increased. The support of six rocket artillery divisions alone has given the First Theater Command the confidence, as well as the armored divisions directly under the headquarters. The arrival made the first theater even more confident.
"Lao Guo!"
Wang Wu held a white-faced steamed bun in his hand and said to Guo Dahai, "The commander-in-chief has given us the first theater of war this time. The aviation force is mainly based on our first theater. Six rocket artillery divisions came to support, as well as armored divisions. In this battle, we must fight a good fight."
"Don't worry, 400,000 versus 300,000, the advantage is mine."
Guo Dahai looked at the sand table and said, "On August 10th, our World War II zone launched a full-scale battlefield. Six infantry corps under its command launched an attack on Luzhou City towards six lines of defense. The main battlefield was the Qiao County area in the front. There were three Japs. The division is stationed here, and an infantry corps is equipped with an armored division, and three rocket artillery divisions discover a surprise attack on it."
"If our army wins this battle, the little devil's advantage in Daxia will be completely lost, but this battle must be won quickly," Guo Dahai continued, "Brothers from the third theater and the fourth theater are working hard for us. The two general armies are intercepting the little Japs, so we must use the power of thunder to beat the little Japs hard!"
As the combat mission was issued, ① the various armies under the theater began to launch a full-scale attack on Luzhou City according to their own marching routes. Now throughout southern Anhui Province, the rapid march of the Su family's army, armored troops, artillery troops, infantry, etc. can be seen everywhere. Logistics troops can be said to be everywhere.
The soldiers marched quickly, carrying their own marching bags and weapons. The scene was very spectacular.
The soldiers in the First Theater Zone have experienced many large-scale battles, and their morale has been boosted. The soldiers are approaching the Japanese with high spirits, and the Japanese's Third General Army has also begun emergency preparations for war.
A large-scale battle with nearly a million troops began in Anhui Province. This was also the first large-scale battle between the Su family army and the Japs. In this battle, it can be said that whoever wins will gain a greater advantage in Daxia.
The 11th Army under the First Group Army is also the trump card of the First Group Army. Army Commander Chen Jie, wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, sat on a jeep and faced a regimental commander and shouted, "Why don't you give food to the soldiers?" breakfast?"
With that said, Chen Jie got out of the jeep and shouted, "Don't you know there's going to be a war with the little devil soon?"
"Report to the commander."
The regimental commander saluted and shouted, "I have issued an order to seize the Japanese forward positions before having breakfast."
"Okay, you have strong morale," Chen Jie said in a loud voice, "When the Japanese forward positions are taken, I will distribute canned food to the soldiers of your regiment."
"yes."
The regimental commander saluted and shouted, morale was high.
At the temporary frontline headquarters, Chen Jie came to the temporary headquarters and looked at the Japs’ forward position and said to the regimental commander just now, "I think in forty minutes, your regiment will be able to have breakfast on the opposite side. I have already given away the canned food." The logistics force is ready for you."
"Commander, it won't take forty minutes."
The regimental commander said, "I have organized a suicide squad to lead the charge for the whole regiment and set an example for the brothers in the army. With the fire support of the heavy artillery unit, we can capture the Japanese's forward positions in half an hour at most."
"You!"
Chen Jie said with satisfaction, "You can always come up with some tricks for me."
Regarding the commander he brought out and the combat effectiveness of his troops, he believed that the Japanese's forward position would be captured in less than forty minutes, and the first victory must belong to them.
Soldiers from an infantry regiment were defending the Japanese forward position. To be honest, the captain of the Japanese infantry regiment who was defending the forward position was very dissatisfied. Wasn't this treating their regiment as cannon fodder?
After fighting with the Su Family Army for such a long time, their entire Third General Army did not win a single victory, and even all small battles were defeated. This made them clearly realize the combat effectiveness of the Su Family Army, and the commanders of the three major general armies denied the responsibility. Will not ask for help from the military.
It's seven o'clock sharp in the morning.
The First Infantry Regiment under the 113th Division arrived at the combat site, and the members of the death squads were fully armed and ready to charge. At this time, the heavy artillery units in the rear positions began to bomb the Japanese forward positions.
All 120 122mm howitzers were in place. Following the artillery commander's order, the ground shook, and 120 shells quickly burst out, hitting the Japanese's forward position.
"Boom!"
The huge explosion set off a flame in the Japanese frontline. The power of the 122mm howitzer was incredible. One shot could blast a three-meter-wide deep pit.
120 artillery shells landed in the Japanese camp, causing huge casualties to the little Japanese.
"ah!"
The shells exploded with huge power, tearing the little Jaap into pieces. The Jaap's heavy machine gun was also hit by the shells and was blown up directly before disappearing into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the second round of artillery began to land.
The weight of the 122mm howitzer is 30 kilograms. Each round of firing fires out 3,600 kilograms of shells. This time the firepower covered seven rounds of shelling, which meant that 25.3 tons of shells hit the Japanese.
Just one infantry regiment fired 25 tons of artillery shells. This shows how wealthy the Su army was fighting at this time.
After seven rounds of shelling, the Japanese were stunned and their ears were deafened.
"Brothers, kill me!"
The death squads began to charge, and the remaining soldiers were covering the death squads. Dozens of heavy machine guns began to fire at full fire to suppress the Japanese.
At this time, the Japanese infantry regiment had been beaten by artillery and could not find the southeast, northwest, and northwest. After the death squads attacked, they recovered and began to counterattack. When they counterattacked, they looked left and right and found that all their surrounding comrades had been killed.
These seven rounds of artillery caused a lot of casualties to the little Japanese infantry regiment, killing and injuring almost a thousand people. When the death squads charged, they discovered that all the weapons in their hands had been blown away.
"Da da da!"
Under the cover of powerful firepower, the death squads rushed to the Japs' forward position. At this time, the infantry regiment soldiers in the rear also began to charge. The infantry regiment of more than 3,000 people pressed forward in full force. The Japs could only grit their teeth and persist. Their captain , was also killed by artillery shells!
