In Qiao County, the commander of the 41st Japanese Division was constantly asking about the frontline situation of the 31st and 37th Divisions and whether troops should be sent for support. However, dozens of messages were sent out, but no response was received.
Dozens of telegrams sank into the sea with no response. Shima Daichi, commander of the 41st Division, had a look of confusion on his face. The three divisions formed a triangular formation and cooperated with each other. Now there is no news about the two divisions he is cooperating with. , how can this make him not suspicious.
"Send out scouts."
Shima Dadi said to the commander below, "Send reconnaissance soldiers to contact the two divisions ahead to find out what happened in Beicheng and Nancheng, and why they haven't called back for so long."
"Hiyi."
...
At 8:40 p.m., Chen Jie led a large force to join the small force that intercepted the Japs' support force. He spent an hour to eliminate the Japs' support force. Then he united his forces and began to rush to Qiao County, using three It took half an hour to reach the border of Qiao County.
At the combat headquarters, Chen Jie said to the senior officers in front of him, "As for Qiao Zhen's combat plan, a night attack, but our electronic blockade may not be effective, because Qiao County is too big, and the wind will definitely not be protected, but the enemy's attack at night The flying team can’t go out, so night is our chance.”
Chen Jie began to issue his battle plan. Qiao County was a city inhabited by ordinary people. Unlike Nancheng and Beicheng, which were purely military towns, their artillery coverage had to be in the right position so as not to harm the people.
"Blow open the city gate."
The commander of the heavy artillery division pointed at the map and said, "Qiao County is just a county-level city. With the power of our heavy artillery division's artillery, a hole can be opened in five rounds."
"very good."
Chen Jie said to the four rocket artillery divisions, "Intelligence Bureau personnel have given us the structural drawings of the interior of the county. Your rocket artillery division's task is to launch a salvo at the Japanese barracks."
"clear."
"then."
Chen Jie continued, "This battle requires the dispatch of a large number of infantry. After the city wall was blasted open, three armored divisions cooperated with three infantry divisions to launch attacks from the north gate, south gate, and west gate at the same time, striving to capture the city as quickly as possible. Qiao County."
"Yes, Commander."
After assigning the mission, Chen Jie looked at his watch and said, "Launch a full-scale attack on time at nine o'clock in the evening."
As the detailed tasks were completed, various units began to mobilize urgently. The first to be dispatched were the two heavy artillery divisions. Their task was relatively heavy, and they had to blast open three city walls. This meant that they needed to fire at least 15 rounds of artillery strikes.
In this battle, just attacking Nancheng and Beicheng consumed 200,000 artillery shells. This is very amazing. In a small and medium-sized battle, 200,000 artillery shells were fired in one day. If the major powers knew about it, what would they do? I wonder if Daxia will change its view of Daxia because of this war.
The heavy artillery division found an artillery position and began to bombard the west gate.
"Five rounds of aiming and direct fire, gradually disperse the artillery fire at a point, fire!"
As the artillery commander issued the order, the artillery began to load ammunition. To be honest, the artillery's hands were almost bleeding throughout the day. They no longer knew how many cannons were fired.
"Boom!"
Ninety-six 152mm howitzers hit the city wall, immediately alarming the little devils and people in the city.
At the same time, more than 800 rocket launchers began to fire. They already knew the location of the Japanese garrison camp, so they began to fire a salvo to cover the Japanese.
More than 10,000 rocket shells quickly lit up the night. The rockets burst out from the launch tube, and the fire formed an arched light bridge and hit the Japanese garrison.
"Boom!"
The huge explosion seemed to be in response to the heavy artillery division. The two loud noises completely alarmed everyone in the city.
"ah!"
Screams rang out in the Japanese barracks, and a large area of the barracks was destroyed by rocket shells. The Japanese chatting inside were swallowed up by the huge explosion. At this point, most of the Japanese were still awake.
"Run!"
More than 10,000 rocket shells gathered in the Japanese barracks, and the explosion lit up the entire Qiao County.
"How is this going?"
The commander of the 41st Division, Shima Daichi, quickly walked out of the headquarters. When he saw the flames shooting into the sky where the barracks were located, and the dazzling flames coming out of the city wall in the distance again and again, he suddenly panicked in his heart.
"Report to the General Army immediately."
Zhima Dadi anxiously walked into the headquarters and said to the communications officer, "It is said that our county has been hit by unknown shelling, and the south city and north city have lost contact. It is very likely that something unexpected will happen. Please ask the general army to send troops for reinforcements."
After saying that, Shima Dadi immediately notified his two brigade commanders to come to the headquarters.
In a moment, the two brigade commanders walked quickly into the headquarters. As the cannon fired, they started walking towards the headquarters to inquire about the situation outside.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this!"
Zhima Dadi waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to explain. You quickly assemble your troops to defend the four walls. I don't care what methods you use. You must defend me until tomorrow morning and wait for the general army to send troops to assist."
"Hiyi."
The two brigade commanders did not think there was any difficulty in holding on for one night. You must know that their 41st Division is the ace division. Compared with the Su family army, their combat effectiveness is many times stronger. How could they not be able to hold on for one night!
The two brigade commanders quickly walked out of the headquarters and began to assemble their troops.
At this time, the heavy artillery division outside had blasted open the west city wall, and a large hole a hundred meters wide appeared in front of the Su soldiers. At this time, the armored division and the infantry division began to attack.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy artillery division bombed the south and north gates one after another. Three armored divisions cooperated with three infantry divisions to launch an attack. At this time, the two Japanese infantry brigades were delayed because the rocket artillery division destroyed Most of the Japanese weapons were lost, and thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed and injured. This forced the two Japanese infantry brigade commanders to turn around and go to the arsenal to replenish equipment, thus delaying the best defense time.
As time passed, three infantry divisions plus three armored divisions entered the city. After all the troops entered the city, they collided head-on with the belatedly arriving Japanese infantry brigade.
"Brothers, kill me!"
"boom!"
The tanks in the armored division began to charge wildly, and the infantry, not to be outdone, pressed directly towards the Japanese, completely ignoring the danger of life and death.
"Da da da!"
The heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles ignited the night, and grenades and mortars were launched to fight with the Japanese at close range!
