After the first division occupied Zhangjiakou, Wang Huzi sent the 59d tank battalion and a regiment to the south non-stop, attacking the Japanese infantry brigade and two puppet Mongolian cavalry divisions that were attacking the 12th and 13th divisions from behind.
Originally, those Japanese and Mongolian troops had already been beaten by the onslaught of the 12th and 13th, and they could not find their way to the north. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army troops suddenly came from behind, they fell into a panic, and then the puppet Mongolian generals who came with the first division and wanted to commit crimes and meritorious deeds shouted in front of the battle with large megaphones , The surviving more than 10,000 puppet Mongolian cavalry immediately put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
The little devils are stubborn, holding on to a few hills, and want to fight to the end, but they chose the wrong target, and they didn't use the big tubes of the artillery regiment to do it. The 42 Type 63 rocket launchers of the 7 infantry regiments were lined up in numbers. The platoon, in a piercing whistling sound, shot out a rain of fire like the sky. Thousands of rockets shuttled across the sky with long tail flames, weaving a dense light net in the air, and then blasted towards the mountains on the opposite side.
"Boom, boom, boom!" With the sound of a thunderous explosion, the ground began to shake slightly. In the violent explosion that shook the mountains, the hills were instantly enveloped in orange flames, and a large number of people Before the Japanese soldiers could react, they were covered in blood by the shrapnel. The internal organs and broken meat were flying all over the sky under the blood, and the wounded and sick fell to the ground and wailed in despair. The pillar of fire turned into piles of charred minced meat.
Some devils hid behind concealed objects and pressed their bodies tightly to the ground, trying to escape the deadly shelling, but it was so easy, the rockets kept falling like a torrential rain, and no matter how well those Japanese soldiers hid, they would eventually back The extremely dense explosion flames and powerful shock waves tore into pieces, the saturation attack is just so unreasonable.
Ten minutes later, the shelling stopped, the charge horn sounded, and thousands of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army roared loudly, and led by tanks and armored vehicles, they attacked the hills that had completely turned into scorched earth. But they soon discovered that this trip was a big loss-the Japanese army on the mountain had been beaten to zero by the fierce artillery fire, and everyone who was alive was injured. The number of people is limited, and it can be said that they didn't even make money on gasoline.
But in any case, with the destruction of this Japanese army, there is no longer a large group of enemies in the Zhangjiakou area. It can be regarded as completely cutting off the hope of hundreds of thousands of Japanese military students in the Datong Basin.
Now that the grave has been dug and the protagonist has already entered the pit, don't be too polite, let's fill it with soil!
After receiving the telegram from Wang Huzi, Liu Shuai stopped holding back and immediately ordered the troops to launch a general offensive to Mount Heng and the Datong Basin.
The 4th and 7th Field Divisions, the 2nd Field Division, and the 1st Armored Brigade advanced into Datong from the west and south in three routes. At this time, there are more than 50,000 troops in Datong City, of which nearly 40,000 are Japanese soldiers, but 30,000 of them retreated from the Hengshan defense line. Not only is the morale low, but there is also a serious lack of weapons and equipment. , It turned out that when these devils retreated, they only cared about escaping for their lives and discarded all the artillery, some troops even threw away the heavy machine guns, and the ammunition was seriously insufficient.
This is the case of the Japanese army, and the more than 10,000 puppet troops are not much better. Although they do not lack weapons and ammunition, their loyalty Most of these two devils came after the North China raid in 1942. The reason why he was forced to join the Japanese army was to save his life and make a living, but now that the Eighth Route Army is so vigorous, he naturally didn't want to be buried with the little devil.
In addition to the weak combat effectiveness of the Japanese and puppet troops, Datong City was also riddled with holes under the round-the-clock bombing of the Red Air Force. Not only the barracks, weapon depots, railway stations, power plants and other military facilities and important targets in the city were completely destroyed. , Those conspicuous fortifications and strongholds on the outer positions were completely turned into ruins. Even the strong city walls were destroyed by the aerial bombs equipped with simple guidance devices, and the clay inside could even be seen in some places.
The commander of the Japanese army in the city and the commander of the 26th Division, Lieutenant General Kenshiro Shibayama, knew that it was impossible to keep Datong, but he still fulfilled his duties and actively dispatched troops, preparing to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army. Give it a go.
Lieutenant General Shibayama's courage is commendable, but it's useless!
After nearly an hour of preparation, three infantry divisions and one armored brigade of the Eighth Route Army launched a total of nearly 70,000 people to Datong City. Naturally, the artillery was the first to play. Hundreds of 152mm, 122mm, and 105mm howitzers, 130mm cannons, and 107mm rocket launchers formed several artillery positions outside the city according to their range.
Following an order, hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, and the huge roar gathered together, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, and most of the good sky was instantly dyed red. Such momentum and scene seemed to suddenly come to the end of the world.
The Japanese army positions outside the city had indeed turned into a piece of purgatory. Amid the deafening explosions, countless pillars of fire over three meters high rose from the ground, rolling and tumbling in the air. The group of small steel arrows, like a dark cloud, kept smashing down, and the lasing shrapnel and steel balls formed several super-large steel storms, sweeping back and forth on the ground. Wherever they went, the soldiers of the Japanese Army were beaten to pieces. A dazzling blood mist enveloped the entire position. Fragmented limbs and internal organs flew around, and heart-piercing wailing resounded through the sky.
After half an hour of artillery bombardment, the charge sounded, and nearly 10,000 fully armed Eighth Route Army soldiers were led by more than 300 59th tanks and Type 63 armored vehicles. At the same time, the Japanese army launched an attack from three directions, east, west, and south.
The attacking troops quickly rushed to the position that had turned into a piece of scorched earth. The remaining sporadic firepower points were destroyed one by one by the recoilless artillery of the tank mounts, and those Japanese and puppet soldiers who survived by chance were also sieved with 23mm machine guns, rifle grenades and flamethrowers, and burned into roast pigs.
After clearing the positions outside the city. The attacking troops did not stop at all, and immediately rushed towards Datong City. At the same time, the 85mm cannons equipped by each infantry regiment bombarded the city wall at the same time. Although these gadgets may not be as powerful as the large tubes of 130 and 152, they are superior in their high accuracy. When shooting directly at a distance of two kilometers, the error will never exceed two meters, which is completely equivalent to a large-caliber gun. automatic rifle.
Under the continuous bombardment of more than two hundred large automatic rifles, the dilapidated walls of Datong City finally could not withstand the devastation. The overall collapse occurred, and a gap with a width of more than 30 meters appeared.
Immediately, tanks and armored vehicles led the soldiers towards the gap like a colony of ants! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
