"Attention, artillerymen, aim straight and shoot straight. Clear the 30 tons of artillery shells for me and fire!"
Following the artillery commander's order, 220 152mm howitzers began to fire at full speed. Four artillery positions covered Haicheng. The shells burst out instantly, lighting up the entire night.
At the same time, five rocket artillery divisions began to launch fire suppression against the 177th Division defending outside Xiaojiazi City. 1,120 rocket launchers fired nearly 18,000 rocket shells in an instant, heading towards the Japanese Division like a meteor shower. Resident coverage.
"Boom!"
Huge explosions resounded throughout Haicheng, and the headquarters of the Japanese 177th Division was covered in a sea of fire. The solid defensive position was reduced to ruins under the coverage of nearly 18,000 rocket launchers.
The firelight filled half of the sky. In the shining firelight, one could see the scene where the Japanese were covered in artillery fire. Rocket launchers hit the enemy one after another, destroying their corpses. Some even lost half of their bodies and lay on the ground. The ground screamed in agony.
Their 177th Division is responsible for guarding the defense line south of Haicheng. They have built a 37-kilometer defense line in Haicheng. With Haicheng as the center point, five divisions spread out to defend the 37-kilometer defense line. When the 35 divisions from the rear arrive early tomorrow morning, they can lead 40 divisions and nearly a million troops to invade Daxia. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked tonight.
Eighteen thousand rocket shells almost destroyed the defensive formation of the 177th Division. Even if ten rocket shells hurt a little Japanese, the 177th Division would suffer a lot of losses.
At the frontline headquarters of the 177th Division, the commander of the Little Devil Division looked at the sea of fire in front of him. He was stunned. He was really stunned. He had never seen such a scene in his 21 years in the army.
In an instant, more than 10,000 artillery shells landed in the position. He could not see such a scene anywhere.
His eyes were covered by the sea of fire in front of him. The commander of the 177th Division put down the telescope dullly, and then sat on the bench in a daze for a while, thinking about how to fight back!
This round of artillery coverage by the Daxia Army caused the loss of a regiment of their division. More than 3,000 people were lost. If the Daxia Army comes again, it will be a waste!
As a close disciple of the former Third Army Commander Akabane Dagui, he was defeated by his teacher. He originally thought that the commander of Daxia Kingdom was too cunning and cut off their logistics supplies and blocked the entire Daxia Kingdom. But now it seems that, That doesn't seem to be the case.
Their Great Eastern Empire was able to sweep across Citigroup in the Pacific battlefield. In the Battle of Gudao, a brigade of soldiers from their Citigroup made Citigroup pay a heavy price. One and a half infantry divisions were wiped out. After recapturing Guashima, even the commanders of the Citigroup praised their Bushido spirit of the Oriental country as something that could not be broken with guns and artillery, but now!
Hearing the screams outside, he was confused!
This Great Xia Kingdom is really not the Great Xia Kingdom it was a few years ago. This Great Xia Kingdom is already qualified to face off against the Great Eastern Empire, and its firepower far exceeds theirs.
As for the ability to fire more than 10,000 shells in an instant, he also knew that this was the BM-13 rocket launcher developed by the Daxia Kingdom. It is also the most advanced rocket launcher in the world. It is also the only country with a large number of rocket launchers besides Tsarist Russia. They The Oriental Weapons Research Department is also developing this kind of rocket launcher, which will be ready for use on the battlefield in about one or two years. But now, they have no weapons that can match it, and the only thing that can match it is their bushido spirit.
"Keep the artillery wing ready for counterattack."
The commander of the 177th Division shouted to the staff, "The position must not be lost. We must hold on until the large force arrives tomorrow morning, and then launch a counterattack."
"Hiyi."
After the order was issued, the 177th Infantry Division began to only defend rather than attack. The artillery regiment provided fire support in the rear. As long as it was discovered that Daxia troops were launching an attack, they would provide fire support.
"Hahaha, beat these idiots to death!"
Chu Gang led the 121st Infantry Army under the 12th Group Army to cooperate with five rocket artillery divisions to launch an attack on the Japanese 177th Division. Their mission was to concentrate their firepower and capture the Japanese 177th Division tonight.
In Li He's plan, he was to concentrate his superior forces and kill a bunch of Japs first, because the Japs' large force would arrive tomorrow morning, so he only had two main targets, one was Haicheng and the other was the 177th Division.
Therefore, all the heavy firepower under his command is concentrated in these two places. As for the Japanese defending in other places, just send a unit to follow Zhou Xuan.
"Let the five rocket artillery divisions conduct the second round of firing, and let the artillery accompany them. While the artillery is firing, all the soldiers in the army will charge me. No matter what, I must win the 177th Division tonight. "
"Yes, Commander."
After Chu Gang's order was issued, the second round of shooting started again. They followed the words given to them by the commander-in-chief, firepower first, and fired the ammunition of their Daxia country. They must remember that people are more precious than ammunition.
To be honest, when all the soldiers in the army heard what Su Yu said, they were very moved in their hearts, because they received a lot of respect and they were more precious than ammunition.
"fire."
The second round of shooting began. This time, along with the rocket launchers, there were 48 122mm howitzers and 48 anti-aircraft guns. This time the shooting was a deep fire, which could be said to cover almost the entire division of the Little Devils.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion sounded again on the broken land. The corpses of the Japanese were blown away under the light of the fire. The black shadows of broken arms and limbs fell to the ground like hail. This round of shelling caused more casualties than the previous round. It was so big that even the underground division headquarters was covered. If the underground headquarters hadn't been strong, it would have been blown up.
"idiot!"
The 177th Division angrily dusted themselves off, drew out their katana and cursed angrily, "Daxia Pig, I will make you pay tens of millions of times the price and let you perish!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The commander of the 177th Division kept slashing his samurai sword. He slashed the sharp samurai sword hundreds of times, cutting off the wooden stake in front of him, and then cut off the wooden stake behind him. Only then did he relieve the anger in his heart. , but at this time, a 122mm high-explosive bomb happened to fall on top of the command post. Because the pillars and beams were cut off, the entire command post collapsed.
"Brothers, rush for me!"
At this time, the 121st Infantry Corps began to charge. Tens of thousands of people launched an attack in a three-by-three formation, overwhelming the sky and suppressing the little devils with firepower.
