On the battlefield, the artillery began to temporarily disperse and hide, but the front-line infantry obviously could not retreat. Under the command of Gao Jianwu, each main regiment began to make certain dispersion adjustments.
The front line continued to maintain a high-pressure offensive posture, forming a stalemate at the front, while the subsequent echelons began to disperse and no longer gathered together densely.
This time, they could only bear the pressure of the enemy's air strikes and race against time to deal with the main force of the 26th Division.
The firepower of the Ping An cluster was strong, and the artillery fire commanded by Gao Jianwu just now had a stronger effect on clearing the ground. Therefore, all four attack groups on the front line pressed forward and intertwined with the Japs. The position formed a situation where you are among me, and you are among me.
Seeing the enemy planes getting closer and closer, Gao Jianwu did not dare to neglect. He came down from the roof and found a hidden place. Although Gao Jianwu was not afraid of death, he would not lose his life so easily.
...
Zhao Dalei looked at the five enemy planes lined up in a row under the temporary bulletproof fortifications with a solemn expression. In the battle ahead, it was relatively easier to find places to hide on the hills. Now in this plain area, It can be seen at an altitude of thousands of meters.
The artillerymen pushed the artillery and desperately searched for buildings to hide. They had to find a place that could not be seen from the sky before the enemy planes came.
Fortunately, they were far away from the position, and there were some houses nearby. Although the eaves could not block anything, the little devils were not rich enough to shoot everywhere, and they would not fire if they could not see anything.
Alas, Zhao Dalei sighed, this is the only way. Without anti-aircraft weapons, none of them could do anything.
In the sky, the Little Japanese fighter plane swooped down and flashed through the air less than 500 meters above the ground. The gray vegetation on the ground and the Little Japanese shit yellow military uniforms were clearly distinguishable, allowing the Little Japanese pilots who were in the first round of reconnaissance to clearly distinguish their attacks. The target, after pulling up the fighter plane and turning a big turn, rushed directly to the position on the Eighth Route!

I'm coming!
Zhao Dalei's heart tightened. An enemy plane began a low-altitude dive towards the position of a large group. Then two tongues of fire began to spray out from under the belly of the plane, plowing two deep bullet marks directly on the ground. The soldiers in the bullet marks died heroically without having time to react.
The bullets from the heavy machine gun hit the human body, leaving large holes directly, breaking the legs, and crippling the arms. The enemy plane made two bullet marks hundreds of meters along the position in one breath, and immediately the ground was filled with blood and flesh. Flying sideways, the dust is flying!
Seeing that more than twenty soldiers were killed in one fell swoop by the enemy planes' swooping fire, Zhao Dalei punched the sandbag of the fortification and almost broke his teeth.
Seeing the enemy planes swooping and firing recklessly in the air, some soldiers on the battlefield couldn't help but pick up their light machine guns and shoot into the air. However, this was of no use at all. The low muzzle velocity of the bullets of this flat-firing light machine gun could not reach the enemy at all. The altitude of the aircraft only made the enemy pilots more aggressive.
They dived and attacked the ground round after round, until they ran out of ammunition and dropped all the aerial bombs, these enemy planes were satisfied and returned. In just a short time, Zhao Dalei, who was attacked by the enemy planes, suffered casualties on his position. Of the nearly two hundred soldiers, most of them were directly killed by machine gun fire.
The entire position suffered nearly a thousand casualties in this round of air strikes.
No matter how dispersed they are, the battlefield of more than 20,000 people will be full of soldiers from the Eighth Route Army. A single dive and strafing attack by enemy planes will kill more than a dozen twenty-pound soldiers. This is still in a dispersed situation. If they are not separated and gathered together, the enemy planes will If an aerial bomb falls, a company may be sacrificed!
Enemy planes posed too many threats to the plain ground. Gao Jianwu, who was hiding under the eaves, saw all this and determined to speed up the progress.
The camouflage of the Mountain Artillery Battalion and the 92nd Infantry Artillery Battalion was pulled away. Gao Jianwu immediately commanded the artillery bombardment of the Little Japanese position. In conjunction with the assault of the ground infantry, with his precise command, the artillery coverage extended to about 500 meters from the infantry front.
In this way, the infantry's charge is greatly guaranteed. At the most dangerous distance, the enemy cannot raise his head at all!
In front of the Ping An Group, the mountain artillery, the 92nd Infantry Artillery, the regiment's mortars, and the battalion and company's own mortars formed a cross cover. Artillery shells of various calibers fell on the Japs' frontline as if for free. Often before there is time to wake up from the rumbling explosions, the infantry of the Ping An Group rushes over.
Rushing into the trenches, the same little Japs with their heads still buzzing, pulled the trigger without mercy!
The southern front launched a full-scale assault into the Jaap position.
As soon as the enemy planes passed by, the northern front also accelerated its offensive, concentrating artillery fire to open a gap in the defense line of the Little Japanese position, and then continued to attack from both sides through the gap. Now there was no time to wait, even if the casualties were greater, they would still be defeated by the enemy. The losses from air strikes should be small.
The mountain artillery battalion in Wuge on the northern front could not match the pace of infantry and artillery coordination like Gao Jianwu, but the extended artillery fire to suppress the Japs still reduced a lot of casualties for the northern front. As the king of the battlefield, Gao Jianwu provided a steady stream of artillery support, and finally allowed the Eighth Route Army to The artillery here emits huge power.
Without overwhelming artillery suppression, with the small forces of Gao Jianwu's Ping'an Cluster and Jinsui District, let alone annihilation, I'm afraid the chance of defeating them would not be high.
To be fair, in terms of individual soldier quality, the Little Devils are still much higher than the average level of the Eighth Route Army at this period.
Even for the Japs' heavy troops, the live-fire training far exceeds that of the Eighth Route Army.
Except for Gao Jianwu's Dagushan Guerrilla Detachment, any unit that can train in double digits with live ammunition is considered a wealthy unit. Many units are not even equipped with many rounds for combat. In many cases, twenty or thirty rounds are considered good. In the early days, independent regiments were divided and developed. Gao Jianwu's platoon only had a few rounds left per person.
Viewed from a high altitude, tens of thousands of people are fighting desperately on a battlefield of several square kilometers, filled with gunpowder smoke.
As the two sides intertwined throughout the battlefield, Gao Jianwu began to command the mountain artillery battalion to bombard the gates of Dai City!
On the other side of the city gate, Kenji Kojo and Ikki Gumon heard shells whizzing in the air, right in the direction of their city gate, and were immediately shocked. Although the battlefield situation was already desperate, they did not I thought about being buried here so early.
The two of them had no idea that the Eighth Route Army's first bombardment of the city gate would be so precise, and they were completely unprepared. More than a dozen cannonballs with the aura of death landed near the city gate one after another. Two of them directly hit the city tower and opened the city tower. The rubble of the collapsed tower instantly buried Kenji Kojo and Ikki Gumon.
What machine gunners, communications troops and guards were all cleared away in one bombardment!
As Gao Jianwu, who has precise city gate coordinates, he shouldn't be too precise in his attacks on landmark buildings. One round of shelling will clear away the little Japanese city defenses!
He also directly buried the two backbones of the 26th Division, Kenji Kojo and Ikki Komon! But Gao Jianwu didn't know this now, but in the following battle, the little devils obviously entered the rhythm of fighting on their own.
The Ping An Group took the lead in taking advantage of its firepower to tear apart the enemy's defense line on the southern front, and launched a joint attack on the enemy on the northern front without hesitation, greatly speeding up the battlefield clearance.
In more than 2 hours, all the Japanese defense lines outside the city were smashed, and the last main force of the 26th Division was wiped out!
And took advantage of the situation to occupy Daicheng. According to the confessions of some captured puppet soldiers, the troops dug out the dying Kenji Xiangcheng and Ikki Gumon from the ruins at the gate of the city!
Capturing the commander of the 26th Division alive, Gao Jianwu immediately received a series of "ding..." prompts. However, Gao Jianwu was busy exploding ammunition in the city and had no free time to check the explosive information.
In this large-scale positional battle, Gao Jianwu almost ran out of artillery shells. Taking advantage of the opportunity to clean up, Gao Jianwu rushed forward to explode and reload, providing ammunition for the Eighth Route Army entering the city according to the number of full health resurrections.
He even borrowed an inn in the city to replenish a round of bullets for the Type 43 assault rifle for the commando equipment!
There are already Dagushan intelligence officers operating in this generation, and Gao Jianwu's explosive device can be regarded as having a reason. As long as these people don't confront Hu Minghua, the intelligence leader, no one can expose Gao Jianwu's tricks.
However, no one from the Ping An cluster or the main force in Jinsui District wants to know the source of the weapons and ammunition found. They only know that now is to seize all the time to clean up the battlefield and replenish ammunition.
Everyone was overjoyed to find so many weapons and ammunition from the little devil's place. Who would think of anything else.
For the three giants on the temporary front, it is now time to integrate their troops as soon as possible to cope with the arrival of the 41st Division.
Even with overwhelming artillery support, after this annihilation battle, the main forces and Ping An clusters in Jinsui District suffered relatively heavy losses. The six newly reorganized regiments in Jinsui District lost nearly 4,000 people, most of whom They were wounded soldiers, and more than 1,000 people died on the spot.
The losses of the Ping An Cluster also exceeded 2,000, and nearly 1,000 people were directly sacrificed. The Japs' air raids contributed nearly half of the casualties to the Ping An Cluster.
With all these things, there were actually too many things to do, but now that the war was imminent, Gao Jianwu directly recalled the local guerrilla brigade that was fighting the resistance, and left the logistics and wounded rescue work to them.
The top priority of the Qianzhi is to reintegrate the troops, improve their organization and replenish weapons and ammunition. After another round of seizures, the weapons and ammunition have now overflowed. In terms of individual weapons, except for the 60-meter mortar, all others have begun to be modified according to the safe mode. .
The Ping An cluster walkie-talkies that originally arrived at the company have now been reconfigured. The Ping An cluster company-level walkie-talkies have been collected and redistributed to each regiment and battalion level in Jinsui District. All battalions can be directly commanded by temporary forward commanders.
The most significant thing is that it makes it easier for Gao Jianwu to grasp the latest positions of each unit, making it possible for him to unified command the infantry and artillery coordination!
Gao Jianwu was so busy that he didn't even have time to read the system prompts. He was concentrating on integrating the troops. In a short period of time, although the main force of Jinsui District went from 9 main force groups to only 4 and a half main force groups, the improvement in strength was by no means It turns out that the troops are comparable, and their strength has been infinitely considered to be that of the Ping An Cluster!
Now, it is equivalent to a temporary front finger. The troops commanded by Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu already have two divisions!
